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

The Kingdom of Sardinia can only choose to be a neutral country that does not help each other, or bet all bets on one side.

As for crossing the Rhine River, there are many benefits. After all, the entire German Confederation can be dragged into the water. As the chairman country and the largest entity in the Confederation, it can be so willful.

As long as the French are not crazy, they will not choose to cross the river and push back. Once the French fall into a weak position, or make other countries in the German Confederation feel that it is weak, then the result is likely to be a group of people who fall into trouble and attack.

Another point is a big hole dug before, that is, Alsace and Lorraine are also nominally members of the German Confederation.

In short, if war starts in the Rhine region, France will fall into a very passive situation.

But that was not Count Kolarov's goal. He hoped that his eldest grandson could become the governor of Central America.

Not only can Akadov's military talents be used here, but also the relationship with Franz can be deepened. After all, such a battleground for military strategists, the latter will not be easily handed over to a distrustful person.

In the same way, as long as Akadov can do a good job in Central America, he will definitely be reused after returning to China. Even if he cannot return to China, he will be a frontier official in the future, and the Leibsteinsky family will also benefit from it.

In fact, Franz was a little surprised by the request made by Akadov Lebsteinski. As the eldest grandson of a big family, the starting point of the assistant to the governor is not low.

But colonial officials and domestic officials are not at the same level at all, and Austria in this era will not choose to go abroad whether it is the noble N generation or the official N generation.

"Does the position of assistant to the governor make you feel wronged?"

Franz had a rare feeling of guilt, after all, the assistants to the governor in this era are not so tall.

A governor usually has many assistants, and whether it is a businessman, a captain, or even some of the most ordinary patrolmen, it is possible to be appointed as an assistant to the governor.

Of course, Akadov still has the position of supervisor who can report directly to Franz, and the actual power of the former is not small.

"will not."

Although Akadov said so, as a young man, he was still a little unconvinced.Franz naturally recognized this expression, that is, the child's dissatisfied and helpless appearance of the arrangement of the elders.

This actually made Franz look at Count Kolarov with admiration. As for what Akadov can do, it's all up to him.

Central America was actually important to strategy now and in the future, and Franz would not leave it in the hands of an incompetent.

In contrast, Prince Metternich's ambition and appetite are much greater. Franz's industry in Vienna is very complicated, but because of this, he can also accumulate quite extensive contacts.

Metternich, who has spent his whole life in the diplomatic arena, knows better than anyone else that the so-called network is the exchange of interests.And taking care of Franz's property in Vienna will undoubtedly increase his exchange value.

Because those industries are closely related to everyone in Vienna, their scale and energy are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At the same time, Prince Metternich, as one of the few people who knew the secret edict, knew very well that Franz would take the throne, and he would not wait too long.

The so-called closeness to the water comes first, and Richard Metternich (Prince Metternich's youngest son is about the same age as Franz) can get the most benefit if he can stay with Franz in Vienna.

In fact, Franz has been worrying about the new person in charge. After all, what happened to Pellaini has just passed, and he doesn't want the tragedy to repeat itself.

There are not many people who are capable and able to hold the field, and Richard Metternich is just one of them.The so-called ability does not necessarily have to be a business genius, and being able to stabilize the situation is also a kind of ability.

Richard Metternich, as the youngest son of Prince Metternich, is usually not dared to provoke in the Austrian Empire, so he can at least carry out Franz's plan without being helpless or being directly attacked by others. Give it a top off.

It's just that Franz still has some worries, because Richard's reputation is not very good, and the abuse of power is likely to be inevitable, so wouldn't his reform slogan become a fart?
"Richard, you know that the law and order in Vienna is not very good. And I think you are more talented in diplomacy, you should try your father's foreign ministry.

After all, the Prime Minister of our Austrian Empire is known as the 'Prime Minister of Europe'.It's still too much for you to just take care of the chores of a few companies. "

Franz's words seemed to be flattering, but he actually refused.Richard is well aware of the importance of this position, so he wants to fight for it again.

"Frantz, I think I can challenge you. Besides, this position is so difficult to sit in. I'm also sharing the pressure for you. After all, we are friends."

Franz sighed.

"Richard, we are friends, so I won't let you jump into the fire pit. You'd better go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you encounter any trouble, I have a check here, and you can fill in any number."

After speaking, Franz took out a check with a maximum amount of 1000 florins and handed it to Richard. [-] florins may not be a big deal for a country, but for a person living in this era It would take an average person [-] years to earn that amount of money.

Richard pushed the check back again, and said with some displeasure.

"I don't need your money, why don't you trust me? Leave the matter of Vienna to me, and I will definitely be able to handle it well."

(This passage here is a bit awkward, please help to correct it.)
Franz hated this kind of stalking the most. He couldn't entrust such an important matter to an unstable person.

In fact, it was mainly because Franz had a bad premonition that once this matter was handed over to Richard, the result would be very bad.

Franz put away the check calmly, and then said something lightly.

"You can't handle things in Vienna."

Cronini Weilburg then went to the Royal Dragon Knights under the name of Franz, and Wengeris Watson went to Franz's newly formed guard in Tyrol.

Luca Ambras' family used to be very influential in the Italian region, but it was severely damaged in Franz's sweep.

Coupled with the fact that a large number of "Sicilians" have changed the local situation, the status of the Ambras family has plummeted at this time, and it is not easy for Luca to see Franz.

Fortunately, Franz didn't care about that.

"Do you want to revive the Ambras family?"

Luca nodded gratefully.

"Then let's go to sea!"

"Can"

"There's nothing good about it. In Lombardy, you'd be a bishop at best, like your two uncles. But times have changed, and even the Pope can't always enjoy that revered position.

You're not an idiot, I think you understand what that means.

Namibia and California, take your pick. "

"I"

"Come to me after you think about it. In addition, I would like to advise you, how can you not take any risks if you want to make a small fortune?"

When the crowd dispersed.

Edward Taffy: "Frantz, see what I can do"
