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

Chapter 1323: Treat others in their own way.

Vienna, Hofburg Palace.

Franz was speechless when he saw the intelligence in front of him. Why were the French so anxious? Were they going to start a full-scale war again?
"Your Majesty! We must not let the French succeed! We should keep the enemy out of our country!"

War Minister Count Tural was so excited that his saliva was spitting, forcing Prince Schwarzenberg to retreat.

Franz covered his forehead with his hands, and it seemed that the Austrian Empire was also very anxious.

However, in his plan, the Austrian Empire cannot be impatient. After all, if the enemy is really kept out of the country, then who will care what Austria does?

A good warrior may not have great achievements, but what Franz needed at this time was exactly great achievements. Although he stayed in the palace most of the time, he was instilled with some ideas that others wanted him to have, intentionally or unintentionally, all day long.

However, Franz is not naive enough to want everyone to understand him, nor does he demand so-called perfection.

As an emperor, he knew very well what he should do, and choosing life was one of them. Without the courage to bear the sins, how could he have the determination to cleanse the world?
Although the Austrian Empire had received the news at this time, France had not yet sent troops, and other states had no definite news.

If Franz really launched a large-scale attack on France now, he would be regarded as an invader, and even suspected of destroying Guo under a false pretext.

But Franz would not remain indifferent, after all, he didn't want to play with fire and get burned.

It is necessary to withdraw some troops from Transylvania. We are relieved to have Marshal Radetzky in the south.

With Albrecht away, the commander position in the north was vacant. Heinau's personality and identity were not suitable for this war, so it would be more appropriate for him to stay in Transylvania and continue to suppress bandits.

Prince Windischgrätz had the right identity, but lacked the ability, and Franz hated this kind of selfish old aristocracy.

Every time these guys are reinstated, they will bring with them a bunch of useless people who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. If they just come here to eat and wait to die, Franz can let them suck his blood for a while. After all, a considerable number of these people do not even have the most basic ability to survive.

However, hundreds of years of family heritage should not be underestimated. They know very well where the pain points are. These guys will take up key positions as soon as they enter the system, and can even use connections to override the shackles set for them by Franz.

Taking the military as an example, the old aristocrats would be the first to occupy the procurement, logistics, personnel, finance, intelligence and security departments.

They will form a new system in a very short time and complete the internal circulation to prevent outsiders from entering and spying.

Therefore, Franz never thought that the old Austrian nobility was incompetent, he only said that they used their skills and talents in the wrong places.

The situation of Count Tural is similar to that of Prince Windischgrätz, although the former may not be as selfish as the latter, always thinking about cultivating his own power.

But the people around Count Tural and his family may not take the opportunity to expand their power. Franz does not want to eliminate Windischgrätz and cultivate another Tural.

Finally, Franz found a suitable candidate, Count Franz Graf Gülay, who came from a declining family.

During the anti-French war, Franz Graf Gülay responded to the call of Francis II and joined the army, but he did not receive the same promotion speed as Heinau, and his life can be described as dull.

Franz Graf Gülay fought in many battles and never distinguished himself, but he also never made any mistakes.

The most important thing is that the old general is over sixty years old and has no successor, not even a distant relative.

Franz doesn't need him to kill everyone, as long as he doesn't lose, he will win.

In fact, Franz was really afraid that someone would lose control and do something extreme, which would ruin Franz's original plan. Compared with the French who were making a big fuss, Franz was more concerned about the British who were secretly making trouble.

The good news was that Palmerston was finished. He was driven out of London again. This time he was no longer the Consul General in India, but just an ordinary official in the consulate.

John Russell had just come to power and given the Austrian Empire a great gift: the British had established an outpost in Portugal, which disgusted Franz.

Portugal is not a powerful country, and even if it joins the war it will not change the situation on the Iberian Peninsula. Allowing the war to continue to expand indefinitely would be very troublesome.

On the surface, Franz seemed to be in no hurry, but in fact no one was more eager than him to end the war as soon as possible.

While Britain is still experiencing the pain of party transition, the situation in Spain has already been completely out of control.

No sooner had Ferrante Duval signed the treaty ceding Olivenza to Portugal than a great protest broke out in Valladolid.

Soon the protests turned into an uprising, and people's dissatisfaction with the Spanish Republicans finally erupted at this moment.

The angry crowd took up their weapons and gathered in the direction of the Presidential Palace. The gendarmes who were supposed to maintain order either stayed at home or tore off their epaulettes and blended in.

Ferrante Duval finally felt the same fear that Carlos VI had felt back then, but the despairing thing was that he had not dug a tunnel in advance.

Ferrante Doyle's mind raced, and he came up with a dozen reasons.

However, the officials of the Presidential Palace did not give him this opportunity. Someone followed the example of Ferrante Duval and rushed into the room and shot him to death, then came to the gate of the Presidential Palace carrying the bloody head.

"Ferrante Doyle is dead! I will lead you"

Before the man could finish his words, he was shot down by the insurgents outside the gate.

"Long live the Habsburgs! Recover Spain!"

After the first person shouted the slogan, others immediately followed suit.

"Long live the Habsburgs! Recover Spain!"

The news of Ferrante Duval's death quickly spread throughout the Spanish Republican-occupied areas, and the Spanish Republican rule collapsed in an instant.

The Spanish Legion of the Austrian Empire did not miss the opportunity, but chose to launch a large-scale attack and seize territory everywhere.

The Spanish army's attack was unstoppable and there was little resistance wherever they passed.

As for the so-called advanced republican ideas of France, they were obviously not well suited to the land of Spain. Coupled with the Spanish government's perverse actions, no one was willing to die for Ferrante Doyle.

At this time, the Austrian Empire had occupied 90% of the land of this country that no one could conquer, leaving only Olivenza occupied by the Portuguese and several northern coastal cities occupied by Regent Queen Christina.

Hugo was put into a mental hospital again because he said, "France will starve its people to death before defeating its enemies." Next door to him lived Tocqueville and Lamartine.
"Hey! Friends! Be happy! Failure is the norm in life. Being here is like being at home, so don't be too reserved!"
