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

Chapter 731 Ready to debut
"Crazy! You and Landry Prome are crazy! Our city is connected to the Austrian Empire, and they will know what happens here in a few hours.

In a day the Austrians can send troops to surround us, and then it will be like in 1241, our cities, our homes will be destroyed! "

Several activists who had recently joined the Polish Restoration Army did not listen to a group of old men's nonsense, but were driven out of the city hall with sticks. They planned to use it as the temporary palace of His Majesty Landry Prome I.

said a young man stepping on a former MP.

"The Austrians can't come! His Majesty Landry Prome I has sent people to blow up all the railways leading to Krakow!"

At this time, the faces of several old congressmen were even more ugly, because it was funded by the Free City of Krakow, and the railway is the city's source of income.

The railways around Krakow were attacked by bombs one after another. Of course, the news that the arsenal was bombed also spread from Krakow.

However, this news is not fatal to Landry Promi, because he has purchased a large amount of supplies from various places in the name of the Free City of Krakow in advance, and Krakow is not only a commercial capital, but also a university town .

There are enough experts, scholars, and craftsmen here to organize an arsenal. At this time, what Landry Promi is most concerned about is how many people can be mobilized to defend Krakow.

Although Landry Prome ordered someone to blow up the railway, there was nothing he could do about the carrier pigeon.

So Vienna soon received the news of Krakow's rebellion, which made Prince Metternich very excited. After all, being able to annex a rich traditional city and hosting some poor valleys in the Balkans is not a concept at all.

And in the eyes of Prince Metternich, some of Franz's actions are very likely to offend the Russians and the British.

The Holy Alliance and the Vienna system are Metternich's proud works. He may not keep up with the times in some things, but he is very clear about the fundamental interests of Austria, the Russian-Austrian alliance.

Without Russia's goodwill, every move by Austria would be difficult.

Back to the present, the rebellion in Galicia, Metternich is going to let Count Stadion suppress it immediately, and then send a group of troops to take over Krakow.

"Count Latour, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Before the Minister of War could speak, Franz jumped out first.

"Master Prime Minister, I want to go."

Franz's going to the royal family naturally acquiesced, and Archduke Franz Karl was easy to solve. Although Grand Duke Louis had some minor conflicts with the former, he was very clear about his position, so he would not make trouble.

It would be difficult for Franz to go to Latour and Prince Metternich, because doing so would undoubtedly increase uncertainty.

Count Korolov felt that Franz was right. After all, the entire Austrian Empire was looking forward to the birth of a wise king.

And the "momentum" that has been created for so many years, now it's time for the master to perform.

"Grand Duke Franz, this trip is very dangerous. I suggest sending 20 troops."

Although this number is exaggerated, Earl Latour and Prince Metternich recognized it very much. After all, if Franz went to this battle to suppress chaos, it would be an exhibition match.

Just like when the [-] army attacked Serbia, which had given up resistance, they could only win but not lose, and not only had to win, but also to win beautifully.

What is the concept of sending 20 troops?In the two frictions with France, the Austrian Empire sent only 20 troops. Adding the 30 garrisons already in Galicia, the total force will reach a terrifying [-].

This is definitely the largest military operation of the Austrian Empire after the Napoleonic Wars, and it may even cause panic in Prussia next door, after all, the latter's standing army is only about 20.

Franz was a little speechless. The purpose he wanted to go was to quickly suppress the rebellion, and it would take at least a few weeks for Austria to gather the 20 troops and transport them to Galicia.

Moreover, such a mobilization of teachers and people, not to mention the waste of people and money, the surrounding countries are either ready to move, or become frightened, it is really a bit of a loss.

"I think there are 3000 people, and with the cooperation of Earl Stadion, the uprising should be suppressed quickly."

After all, in history, the Galician uprising was suppressed by the people themselves before the Austrian Empire had time to send troops to suppress it.

Facing the ferocious serfs, the rebels even took the initiative to seek the protection of the Austrian army.

"3000 people?"

How could the old foxes not know what the 3000 people were referring to? Franz's Dragon Knights had already arrived in Vienna ahead of schedule.

It's just that 3000 people are too few. In their eyes, they are full of rebels.If Franz doesn't go, 2 people need to be sent, and if Franz goes, at least 20 people need to be sent.
"Grand Duke Franz, you have only seen wars in books. Real wars are dirty and indecent. In order to win the enemy will spare no effort to use all kinds of despicable means, and the morale of soldiers is usually positively correlated with the number of people .

If you only take a few thousand people there and see tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rebels on the other side, maybe some cowards will tie you up first. "

Count Latour's words were very harsh, but he was telling the truth.

It's just that Franz wasn't going to toughen up some so-called rebels, he just wanted to solve some problems once and for all, and get more spoils by the way.

To be honest, Franz really didn't regard the Zionist Army as his opponent.

But the old man still had to listen to what the old man said. In the end, after a negotiation between the two parties, it was decided that Albrecht would serve as Franz's adjutant and lead 6 people into the Bochnia Fortress in Galicia to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After that, General Heinau will lead [-] follow-up troops to join Franz's troops, and then march towards Krakow together.

Count Stadion received the order to expand the defensive range, but not to take the initiative to attack.

Count Stadion was puzzled by this strange order, and he even began to wonder if the Russians and Prussians were behind the tricks, so Vienna needed him to stand still.

Although the entire area originally belonging to Poland was in turmoil, there were not many real uprisings.In particular, the uprisings in Warsaw and Poznan were not successful at all, and the members of the Polish Restoration Army were arrested while they were still in a meeting.

In fact, Earl Stadion knew about the situation in Krakow, and he also had the ability to send someone to kill it before it became a force, but the order from above prevented him from acting rashly.

A lot of strange orders had made Earl Stadion suffocated, and finally waited until the rebellion broke out, and he had already gathered his troops to raze the city to the ground once and for all.

As a result, the order from Vienna came again. He really missed the era without telegrams.

Unbeknownst to Earl Stadion, bloody massacres were constantly being staged under the surface calm in Galicia.
