Chapter 37: Each Flying Away in the Face of Great Difficulties

  Chapter 37: Each Flies in the Face of Great Difficulties

Without waiting for the two sides to talk about a result, the news that the city defense forces returned to Vienna and had begun to suppress the rebellion reached the Hofburg Palace.

Negotiations directly into a stalemate, the contrast between the strength of the two sides has changed, the initiative of the negotiations changed places, the court of Vienna is no longer in a hurry to reach an agreement.

The conditions put forward by the bourgeoisie, in the eyes of these grand dukes is a shame, if there is no choice, for the sake of life, perhaps they may still hold their noses and admit it.

The main body of the city defense force had now returned, and the armies around Vienna were on their way, and there was still a regiment of troops guarding the palace.

By this time the danger had disappeared, everyone’s mind had changed, and Archduke Louis was not willing to compromise with the capitalists.

Even if there is to be political reform, it is very important that it must be if they take the initiative to do so, rather than being forced to do so.

……

The speed of the counterinsurgency was faster than Franz had imagined. A rabble is a rabble, and when they encounter a counterinsurgency army their first reaction is not how to defeat the enemy but to run away.

There is no way, initially the rebels organized a few times of resistance, then they were scared by the city defense army. Albrecht also deliberately let the routed soldiers run away, on the fear of failure to pass out.

Along with the military attack, Franz also took a political offensive, declaring as Crown Prince that the first evil would be punished and coercion would not be questioned.

In this era, the Habsburg family in Austria is still very marketable, with Franz’s guarantee, many of the rebel soldiers who were held hostage in, are simply surrendered.

The rebels have been scourged by the citizens of Vienna, and now also take the initiative to come out to the counterinsurgency army to provide convenience, leaving the people to support the rebels have become rootless.

Although the rebel army is progressing well, but Franz how can not be happy, looking at the broken walls of the buildings, he knew that after this battle, Vienna’s economy retrogressed for at least five years.

But at this time, Franz did not have time to grieve, he also want to appease the people? After being scourged by the rebels, the hearts of the Viennese people were fragile.

As the Crown Prince, Franz at this time is naturally to bring them the warmth of spring, will save them from the pain.

“Archduke, the road to the royal palace has been opened!” The guard said excitedly

Franz smiled faintly, this was good news, it meant that the big picture had been decided, the rebels had not been able to control the emperor, then the defeat was a foregone conclusion.

“Send a message to His Majesty the Emperor, I’ll go over after I’m done with this side of things!”

Politics was dark, in order to gain the greatest fruits of victory. Franz had to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation in the city before returning with the power of a great victory.

Otherwise, if he went over now, the Regency Council might have to steal the dominant power from him, and in front of the power, he was not interested in betting on the character of these politicians.

Obviously, Franz does not know that Prime Minister Metternich has already run away, Count Koloft is also not in the palace, the only ones left in the Council of Regents are Archduke Louis and his father.

At this time, even if Archduke Louis wanted to seize the dominant power, he couldn’t do it, right? Unless Ferdinand I himself is on the battlefield, the biggest political capital gained from this rebellion belongs to Franz.

……

A young man, eagerly urged, “Father hurry up, if you are late, it will be too late!”

The middle-aged man’s face looked dark, looked at his manor, and helplessly got into the carriage.

That’s right, this is the big capitalist Owen, one of the masterminds behind the planning of this rebellion, and at this moment, he no longer has his previous vigor, as if he has aged a dozen years.

The city defense army had just come back to quell the rebellion, they had not taken it seriously, in just a few days, the number of rebels had expanded to more than 50,000 people.

But once they exchanged hands, everyone knew it was going to be the end. When the hands and feet have been released, how can this group of rabble be the opponent of the regular army?

It was different from the initial rebellion, when the soldiers were still very scared and didn’t dare to hit them hard.

At this time, the style of painting has completely changed, the cannon took out, against the crowded place directly bombard. Where had they seen such a battle, before they could react they were already confused and defeated.

“This departure, I don’t know when I will be able to come back again. The family business that has been painstakingly built for decades has been lost in one go!” Owen sighed and said

“At this point, why talk so much, the big deal is to change the place and start again!” The young man said indifferently

If it wasn’t for the sadness on his brow, one would really think that he just didn’t care.

Although capital had no borders, in reality, in this era, it wasn’t that easy to change places and start another business.

Without the connections that you have made over time, you might be swallowed up by others when you arrive in a strange place.

This kind of thing, they have not done less, it can be said that all the primitive accumulation of capital is bloody.

Logically speaking, it made no sense for a big capitalist like Owen to personally participate in the revolution. Unfortunately, when they were noisy about high prices in front of them, they invested too much money, and they wanted to make a big profit, but they didn’t expect to take their old capital in.

If they don’t start the revolution, half of their industry will become the bank’s bag, and from then on, they will suffer a great loss of energy and decline.

Interests move people, in the peers of the encouragement, Owen decided to let go of the fight, the failure of the big deal to run away.

At this time, now they really have to run away. If they continue to stay in Austria, even if the government does not look for his trouble, the loss of heavy counterparts will take their lives.

This rebellion would intensify internal conflicts in a short period of time, in addition to Franz’s arrangement, the capitalists’ infighting was also a reason.

Peers are enemies, even at a time like this, capitalists want to fight their competitors so they can monopolize the market alone.

To kill with a borrowed knife was naturally the best choice. Utilizing the opportunity of the revolution to loot the wealth of their rivals, even taking their lives along with them, and then dumping them on the government forces.

If the revolution succeeded, then naturally their plotting would also succeed. Unfortunately, in the end, they failed to accomplish anything, and seeing that things were not to be done, the smart people ran away before the rebellion could be suppressed.

In Austria most things can be done with money, rebellion being the exception.

At this time of year, even money can’t be given away. As long as one is involved, one should not expect the Vienna government to be soft.

Run away far more than just Irving father and son, all involved in it, whether it is capitalists, or aristocrats, or want to speculate on the politicians, this time have fled from Vienna this whirlpool place.
