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

Chapter 607 Competitor?
Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz was in a bad mood and had just left Madame Sophie's bedroom.The former just learned from the latter that the so-called competitor is not his two brothers, but his father, Archduke Franz Karl.

In fact, due to the ancient Salic Law Archduke Franz Karl is the first heir to the throne of the Austrian Empire, and very few people know the will of the former emperor.

In addition, it is still unknown how effective a dead person's edict is, and those who know the last emperor's edict and have the ability to implement its content are all too old. Grand Duke Karl, Grand Duke Louis, and Prince Metternich are all in their dying years. .

At this time, the vast majority of people in Vienna would not think that Franz could succeed to the throne soon, because although Ferdinand I was plagued by various diseases, he did not have that fatal disease, so it would not be a problem to live another 20 years .

In history, Ferdinand I lived for 27 years after his abdication, and did not die until June 1875, 6.

Franz's father, Archduke Franz Karl, is in good health, loves nature, is good at hunting, and can climb stairs with a seal weighing 60-70 kg. His physical fitness can beat his peers .

It will take nearly 30 years for these two to die. By that time, it is not certain whether Franz Joseph will still be alive. After all, this era is never short of accidents.

Moreover, the old guys in Vienna knew that people would change. Even Emperor Joseph II, who didn't know how to be flexible, finally ruined his own reforms with his own hands.

Thirty years is enough to corrupt anyone, even what Archbishop Rauscher calls a "born saint".

In fact, if he was born in a peaceful and prosperous world, Franz might really choose to join forces. After all, any change is a challenge for those with vested interests.

And even if they are spending time and money, the lucky lottery of this reincarnation is enough to deal with it.Even if you play a little bit more, someone will wash the floor for you.No one can do anything to himself unless he kills himself.

It's just that the reality is that in 1848, the entire Austrian Empire would fall into a crisis of extermination. One mistake might lead to being guillotined like Louis XVI, and at the same time being nailed to the The pillar of shame.

Therefore, Franz will become the emperor of the Austrian Empire in 1848, and at the same time he will declare war on the old era. Anyone who stands in his way will be swept into the dustbin of history.

In fact, apart from Archduke Franz Karl, those people also secretly revealed to Madame Sophie.

"We don't want to see what happened in Russia happen in Austria."

What those people mean is that they can also choose to put Empress Fu Anna on the throne, and the Habsburg family is not the only choice.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sophie is not a person who is easily threatened by others. The gentleman who said this has already been punished to think at the bottom of the Danube.

The result of subsequent investigations was that only 261 of the 252 people on the list were punished, and the whereabouts of 9 people were unknown, or they committed suicide inexplicably and their bodies could not be identified.

It happened that Franz was not a person who liked being threatened, let alone being deceived.

As a result, several groups of thugs broke into the homes of several officials at night to commit murder, and even a family that had been in business for hundreds of years was blown up together with the mansion.

In addition, several "accidents" occurred in the Austrian Empire. Some people were killed by a carriage, some people unfortunately fell into a pigsty and drowned in pig feces, and some people poked their heads out while riding a train. The window was unfortunately ground to pieces by another oncoming train.

Another unfortunately fell into the water on the ship bound for the United States, and was caught in the propeller at the stern of the ship and died.

And the accident happened to those who were missing or died on the list. Even the police and judges could only lament that "the world is full of wonders" (God has eyes).

Although Vienna has not been peaceful recently, there have been no civilian casualties.But in any case, the chief of police in Vienna couldn't absolve himself of the blame, and the old chief had to retire early.

It's just that when the old director was about to leave the city in a carriage, he collided with a carriage full of logs, and a large number of logs buried the former inside.

The bizarre incident did not subside until one month later, and the six culprits involved in a series of terrorist incidents in Vienna were also brought to justice on that day.

Strange to say, since that day Vienna has returned to its former calm.

In the Schönbrunn Palace, the seals basked in the sun boredly, and occasionally patted their round bellies, and the great auks made ugly calls.

As for Empress Anna, who was trembling in the mansion of the Hofburg Palace at this time, she didn't know why those people came to her, but she knew very well that as long as she had any behavior that violated the rules, she might be blown to pieces or die Some kind of accident.

In addition, about 150 policemen, 50 military police, and 150 central bank guards were sent to California mines for malfeasance.

Franz sympathized with these people, but he would not let them go.When the soldiers and the police help the evildoers, they are indistinguishable from the murderers.

The German region is very sensitive to the wind direction in Vienna, and they know that there will be a strong monarch in Austria in the future.

But that will have to wait until 20 years later, so people of their generation don't have to worry at all.

Due to the direct border with the Austrian Empire, the German Customs Union has greatly promoted the economic development of Saxony.

Although they knew that it was impossible for them to defeat the mighty Austria and Prussia, this did not hinder these man-made wonders.

In addition to planning to build a new steeple cathedral, the rich Saxons also planned to renovate the Dresden Palace.

In addition, King Frederick August II found another way to make himself immortal, and that was to create great music.

It's just that he soon discovered that Dresden's attractiveness was incomparable to that of Vienna, and it was simply impossible to overwhelm Austria in this respect.

As for the artistic desert of Berlin, there is no need to suppress it at all, and then Frederick August II discovered a new goal.

That is creating the best instruments in the world, and he thinks the piano is the most important of them all.

However, many people in the German region have similar ideas to Frederick August II. In fact, because the German Customs Union has driven the economic development of the German region, people have begun to pursue more and more spiritual enjoyment.

Historically, a large number of piano factories appeared in Germany around 1850, and established the position of the world's number one high-end piano producer in one fell swoop.

However, facing the vigorous piano-making movement in Germany, Franz seemed a little at a loss. After all, he had only touched pianos in school, and he knew nothing about its structure and key points.

But Austria is quite rich in pianists.
