The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Because the number of imports in the past few years has been growing explosively, but after more markets have been opened up, Austria's imports have increased very little, which aroused John Taylor's suspicion.

Although the president was ousted from office, he still left a lot of information and analysis results to his successor before he stepped down.

His successor, James Knox Polk, was a hard-line xenophobic man who would find any reason that foreigners were a threat.

However, although both parties do not like each other, business still has to be done. After all, Austria's textile industry has just started, and the United States of America has also been severely damaged by the war.

Ever since, the latter retaliated against the former in this more secretive way.

Prussia also does not want peace and stability in Austria, although at this time the former is at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with the latter.

But for Prussia, it is far from the time to give up. After all, they have experienced more desperate scenes than this.

In fact, what Prussia most wanted to instigate was Bohemia and Hungary, but the nationalist vortex of the former was too terrifying.

The latter was deliberately isolated from the world by the Austrian side, and its energy was not as good as before, and its internal chaos made it difficult to organize an effective "riot".

Sardinia has been unhappy with Austria for a long time. Carlo Alberto suffered from domestic riots, and naturally hoped that his powerful neighbors would "share the joys and sorrows" with him.

In fact, from 1841 onwards, due to the spread of revolutionary ideas, Carlo Alberto had to approve decrees to establish a representative government.

This government is very radical. Although it did not explicitly propose anti-Austria or anti-French, it has been making small moves around the Apennines.

The Russians are very contradictory. On the one hand, they hope that Austria will expand to Italy. It is best to directly take down Sardinia and fight the French. On the other hand, the Russians do not want Austria to be too strong. .

However, Ferdinand II of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies is typically clueless. He wants to dominate the Apennine Customs Union, and it is completely routine to attack competitors.

But this is an ambition that cannot be realized at all, because the entire Apennine Customs Union is Austria's own toy, and there is no possibility of changing the chairman.

Although there are many countries making trouble, only Britain, France, and Sardinia can really affect the situation in Italy.

However, these foreign forces are the key targets of the Austrian Empire at this time. After all, there is no room for negotiation with these invaders, and any compromise will only lead to more excessive demands.

The second is the Italian nationalists. If you had to pick one country in Europe that fears nationalism the most, it would be the Austrian Empire.

Italians, Germans, Hungarians, West Slavs, Yugoslavs, not to mention that there are countless sub-branches under each major race.

Although there are many nationalities in some countries, there is no one with so few main nationalities like Austria.

What is even more frightening is that the enlightened monarchy practiced by the empire has made the nationalities in Austria highly civilized, and it is easy to come into contact with new ideas and accept them.

The entire empire is like a haystack, it only takes a few sparks to burn it to pieces.

For the captured [-] participants and supporters of the riot, the Habsburg family still pardoned their capital crimes as before, and the price paid was nothing more than repentance in front of the statue of the church.

But Franz didn't intend to let them go back safe and sound, and first dragged the group of people to the cemetery to confess to the sacrificed soldiers and innocents.

Then these sinners have to sign a support agreement, and they have to bear the consequences of the crimes they committed.A support agreement may include the payment of compensation or the payment of alimony to ensure that the victim or family is properly compensated.

Naturally, the money should be compensated with their family property. If the family property is not enough, labor must be used to atone for sin.

The Austrian colony was short of labor, not to mention thousands of people, even tens or millions of people could feed them.

Of course, even those rich gentlemen cannot escape punishment. After all, in addition to innocent citizens and soldiers who need compensation, the Austrian Empire also suffered great losses, such as cities, reputation, and so on.

In short, no one can use money to make up for this black hole, unless he can prove that he can create great value by staying in the country, such as inventions, or achievements in music, art, technology, and science.

And with this attitude of killing everything, those young radicals who lack fighting experience will most likely choose to take risks.

Compared with the Fortress of Verona, which is stationed by tens of thousands of troops, it is obvious that the local gentry who have "taken refuge" in Austria are easy to kill.

And the reason why those aristocratic families can stand for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, is of course impossible to be a dead man.

So the two sides began a bloody "tearing each other", which made the radicals at the bottom and the local high-level forge blood feuds.

However, it is impossible for every family to have the ability to protect themselves, and those weak families can only seek the protection of the imperial government.

This returns to what the Austrian Empire is best at, recruiting those weak families and letting them act as their eyeliners and vanguards.

Monitor those powerful families together with the officials sent by Vienna to limit the continued development of their power, and then find out which ones are easy to control to give support and slowly carry out transformation.

In fact, the internal and external environment of the Austrian Empire does not allow Franz to make big moves. After all, he is like a terminally ill patient who may die with a dose of strong medicine, so Franz will adopt this alternative plan. .

At night, the streets of Milan City are lit with lights, only a tavern at the end of the road is still brightly lit.

In front of the tavern hangs a faded wooden board with the words "House of the Sicilians".

A black carriage stopped, and a person who was incompatible with this picture stepped down from it.

Three men and two women pushed the door open, and the tavern was filled with choking smoke, the smell of wine, sweat, and all kinds of noisy sounds.

The leading man frowned, but the beautiful woman walking in the middle didn't care.This group of people soon became the focus of attention of the audience, and a drunk even teased the girl who walked in small steps at the end.

As a result, the thin figure knocked him over with lightning speed, and took a cross.

The strong man exhausted all his strength and couldn't break free. He just wanted to yell, but he heard a "quack".The thin woman broke the man's arm without mercy, and the only thing left was a heart-piercing howl.

"Do you know whose territory this is?"

The strong man's partner immediately took out a knife, but he was hit in the back of the head by a wine bottle and fell to the ground before taking a few steps forward.

The bartender at the bar immediately went to the shotgun behind him, but he heard a burst of gunshots before his hand touched the gun.

When he turned again, there were already ten revolvers pointed at him.

"We need to see Al Pacino."
