Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 58: Closing net

On March 19, 1848, Frederick-William IV was forced to announce the cancellation of the book inspection system, and issued a diplomatic note to the German states, calling for a joint state conference.

On March 23rd, Frederick-William IV announced the integration of Prussia into Germany.

Metternich's hope for the establishment of the Prussian-Russia alliance was shattered, and Prussia's diplomatic relations with Austria and Russia deteriorated sharply.

To reunify Germany, Austria is a hack that cannot be bypassed. The core question is who is the boss?

In terms of strength, Austria seems to be less distressed than Prussia, but because of domestic issues, it does not have an absolute advantage over Prussia; in terms of influence, Austria far exceeds Prussia.

In history, Bismarck, the prime minister, discovered this problem early. He used diplomatic means to isolate Austria, then took advantage of the opportunity just after the Austrian-French war, defeated Austria, and kicked Austria out of Germany.

The current practice of Frederick-William IV undoubtedly exposes Prussia's ambition to unify Germany, which Austria cannot tolerate.

Also unacceptable are the Russians. The Tsarist government does not want to see the unification of China and Europe, which will shake their continental hegemony.

In this context, Russia-Austria relations began to heat up. Franz and other good news came. Tsar Nicholas I publicly stated his willingness to help Austria suppress the Italian revolution.

Although this support is only verbal, Russia will not send troops to help Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia, which is enough for Franz.

Since the anti-French war, Europe has emerged as a country with two major powers-Britain and Russia stand side by side. With the support of the Russians, it is impossible for the British to support the Kingdom of Sardinia at the risk of a full-scale war.

"Prime Minister, we can close the net." Franz said calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Felix replied

...

Prague

"Mr. Rennes, soon, the big deal is bad!"

"Colson said slowly, what happened?" Rennes' man asked with concern.

"The Austrian government has decided to execute Vera, with a total of more than 100 political prisoners. All of them will be executed three days later!" Coleson said in a panic.

This is definitely the worst result. Such large-scale executions of political prisoners rarely occur in Europe, especially among the more than one hundred people including capitalists and nobles.

Rennes was silent, he was not a secondary two. The Austrian government has suddenly become tough, which is obviously abnormal.

However, people cannot help but otherwise, the team will not be able to lead if the hearts are dissipated.

The revolutionary enthusiasm of the people in the Czech region is inherently low. They can only rely on capitalists and aristocrats to start the revolution. If they can't take effective measures, these people will soon be defeated.

In history, the outbreak of the Prague uprising was quickly suppressed. The local nobles and capitalists found that there was no future with the Revolutionary Party, and they sold them after they changed hands.

Launch the people's revolution?

Well, just think about this kind of thing. The revolutionary parties in the Czech region are basically children of the capitalists and nobles of the nobility, and the worst is the middle class.

They want revolution, which is essentially to safeguard their own rights and interests, and to sacrifice their own interests to win over the people at the bottom. This does not exist.

In history, after suppressing the Prague uprising, you can organize troops in the Czech region to suppress the Hungarian rebellion, and you will know who the public is heading for.

"How many more troops are there in the city?" Rain asked with concern.

"I heard that the battlefield in Italy is tight. Yesterday, 2,000 people were transferred from here. The soldiers in the city will not exceed 1,800." The eye-man whispered.

"Is the news reliable?" Ryan asked with concern.

"This is what I heard while chatting with friends of the city defense army this morning, it should be reliable, and the movement of the army can't lie to anyone!" The Eye Man explained

"Mr. Rennes, the news should be accurate. I saw an army out of the city yesterday, but I haven't returned yet!" Coleson added

"Well, we immediately prepared and took action two nights later to overthrow this decaying Austrian empire and establish an independent Czech Republic!" Ren said passionately.

"Mr. Rennes, how to solve the problem of weapons? We can't rely on the dozens of guns in our hands to overthrow the Austrian government?" An old man asked.

As a conservative in the Revolutionary Party, he opposed the most extreme armed revolution. He would not have agreed to launch an uprising unless it was for the Austrian government to launch a killing ring.

"I can find a way to raise twenty guns from relatives and friends!" The man with glasses said.

"I can get a dozen guns from home too!" Coleson thought about it and said

In this way, everyone reported the numbers eloquently. After a moment of effort, the weapons and equipment of an infantry battalion came out.

Obviously, the recent policies of the Vienna government made the local aristocracy very dissatisfied, otherwise the revolutionaries would not be able to obtain weapons and equipment.

...

A premeditated rebellion started like this. All members of the Revolutionary Party participated voluntarily. They did not have any binding force on each other, and only relied on the charisma of the leader.

Secrecy is impossible to keep secret. The Czech Revolutionary Party was originally a grass-roots group.

These people who participated in the meeting were relatively high-ranking and considered reliable. In fact, after the meeting was over, the content of the meeting was sorted into a policy that night and was delivered to Prince Wendy Schgrez.

If you want to put an end to this rebellion, the police in Prague can do it.

Obviously, this is not what the Vienna government wants. The rebellion has not yet occurred, and now there are only small fish and shrimp on the bright side.

Behind the scenes, this will bring serious hidden dangers to the future rule of the Czech region.

Prince Wendy Schgrez seemed to know nothing. Even before the outbreak of the revolution, he organized a field training, and most of the police and army in Prague participated.

On April 12, 1848, taking advantage of the departure of Prince Wendy Schgrez, the Prague uprising broke out, and with the cooperation of local nobles and capitalists, it captured Prague City in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Ren is not good. The arsenal is empty. It is said that the government's corrupt officials sold all the ammunition inside. What should I do now?" Coleson said in a panic

This statement is simply a fool. Even if the Austrian government is even more serious in corruption, it is impossible to sell weapons and ammunition completely.

"People are treated as chess pieces!"

This was his first reaction. The original uprising was unsuccessful, and it took Prague without encountering any resistance. If he still doesn't understand, Ren is a fool.
