Chapter 59: Conditions
Chapter 59 Conditions
Rebellion is not a child’s play, and revolution is not a treat, it’s easy to get on the boat and hard to get off. Even if he knew that he had been tricked, Rayne now had no choice but to walk down one path.
The fact that they didn’t have a choice didn’t mean that others didn’t have a choice either, the well-informed nobles, now knew the danger.
There is no doubt that this is a chess game against them, and they have jumped into it. Now that the rebel army lacked weapons and ammunition, and did not have the support of the people, there was no way to see the possibility of success.
They did not even have the strength to negotiate with the government in Vienna with the power in their hands.
Most of the nobles in the Czech Republic came from the German region and were inextricably linked to the Viennese nobles, but this link was not enough to keep them safe in the rebellion.
Inside a luxurious residence in the aristocratic district of Prague, seven magnificently dressed men were gathered together, and if anyone recognized them, they would immediately notice that none of these people were big shots in the Czech region.
But now these big shots, one by one, two by two, all looked panicked, without the elegance of the past days, spreading the word is expected to shake the entire Prague.
What is it that can make so many big shots scared?
“Count Kaloqi, what should we do now? I’m afraid there’s a traitor among us, and what we’ve done is exposed to the eyes of the Vienna government!”
“Count Scott don’t worry, we didn’t personally take the field in this rebellion, at most only some side members were involved, which gives room for maneuver.
Now as long as we help Prince Wendischgretz suppress the rebellion, we will be able to clear our suspicions in this rebellion, there is no way that the Vienna government will kill us because of this!” Count Kaloqi said with a strong sense of calmness
Selling their teammates is no pressure on them, it’s only a matter of giving up a few side children, the problem is that the Vienna government will settle the scores after the fall, ah?
Under normal circumstances, Europe did not kill nobles, but if an accident happened on the battlefield, then no one could say anything.
I’m afraid that now only God knows what Prince Windischgreiz intends to do, laid such a big set, how to net a few big fish, right?
Count Kaloqi’s statement was obviously not able to reassure the crowd. Other charges are just, we are all related, there are people to help them speak.
This time is different, although they do not really want to be independent, but only to use this opportunity to fight for greater power, but in the eyes of the Vienna government is also a rebellion.
Since ancient times, rebellion is the ruling class is the most loathed, even if not immediately held responsible, later will not be able to settle scores.
“Count Kaloqi, I’m not worried about personal safety, as long as we don’t directly rebel, the Vienna government won’t be able to ask for our heads, but what kind of price do we have to pay for this?
All of you sitting here everyone is a big family, many of the industries in the Prague area are ostensibly owned by the capitalists, but in reality there is no shortage of everyone’s shares.
All of these things are out of sight, the Vienna government directly give confiscation, we can not object. It is not even ruled out that they will follow the trail and implicate us in the rebellion.
Don’t tell me that everyone has no contact with the rebels, even if we do it cleanly, it’s useless at this time.
As long as Prince Wendischgraetz thinks that we have participated in the rebellion, then no one should think of a good time behind us, what kind of fate is for the nobles who are implicated in the Vienna rebellion is clear to everyone.
There can be quite a few families in here that were implicated because of the participation of their descendants’ sons and nephews or vassals in the rebellion, and ended up being stripped of their titles and properties!”
When speaking, Count Scott’s voice still had a hint of trembling, obviously he was worried about what happened in Vienna, repeating itself on his body.
The European nobles were one family, but the interests of the nobles were not the same, they wanted the Czech region to gain greater autonomy to facilitate their benefits.
But the Austrian nobles wanted centralization of power, allowing them to reach out to all parts of the country through the influence of the central government, and the interests of the two sides were already in conflict.
This was Scott’s greatest concern, would the Austrian nobility that dominated the government in Vienna easily let go of the opportunity to suppress them?
It was at this time that the old butler’s voice rang out, “Count Kaski, there is someone outside who claims to be a secret envoy of Prince Wendischgretz seeking an audience!”
The crowd’s faces changed greatly, then they reacted, they had already been exposed, it was not strange to be approached by Prince Windischgreiz’s people.
“Invite him in, Linda take everyone next door to rest for a moment!” Count Kaski said after some thought
The crowd had no objections, the maid directly took everyone to the next door of the parlor, where they could just hear the conversation in the parlor, and everyone wanted to figure out Prince Windischgreiz’s purpose.
Seeing the person who came, Kaski was surprised and asked, “Kandelay, how come it’s you?”
“How can it not be me, dear brother don’t forget, I have always served in the Austrian army, this time I happened to be transferred into Prince Windischgretz’s army, so I took the initiative to stop this errand!” Kandler laughed
The relationship between European nobles, how messy it is estimated that no one can make sense of it, Kandelay and Kaski are cousins, only that Kaski’s branch inherited the family title, Kandelay as a collateral son will need to struggle on his own.
Since it is a family, then things will be good to say, Caskey has felt the goodwill released by Prince Wendy Schlegelz.
“Kandelay, I’m relieved to see you at this time!” Kaski said in a relaxed voice
“No, my brother you are relieved too soon, I bring with me the conditions of Prince Windischgreiz, or rather the government of Vienna.
If you agree, then this time, let it be as if nothing had happened; otherwise, there is no need for me to say anything.
If you don’t want the family to fall, you’d better think carefully!” Kandelay said seriously
Kaski smiled slightly, there was always a price to pay for doing something wrong, if the Vienna government didn’t offer conditions, he would have to worry instead.
“You name it, as long as I can preserve the family, I can accept any condition!”
Kandelay looked at the traces left on the ground and said, “Since everyone is here, let’s invite them all together, anyway, you can hide from the first day, but not the fifteenth.
Sooner or later everyone will have to face these problems, the conditions I brought are set by the cabinet, there is no room for negotiation, either accept or reject!”
Count Kaski looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly eased up and calmly said, “Alright, you’ve seen it, everyone come out!”
Watching the crowd walk out, everyone was familiar with each other, and greeted each other, Condelet said, “The conditions of the Vienna government are ……”
