Chapter 140 Archduke Albrecht

Before the secretary could respond, Felix Schwarzenberg shook his head and talked to himself.

"No, they won't!"

Although Felix Schwarzenberg, a combination of soldiers and politicians, looked down upon Prince Metternich and his policies, who had fled London, he still habitually used the orthodoxy created by Metternich at the Congress of Vienna to survive.

Principled thinking on foreign policy across the continent.

Felix Schwarzenberg crumpled the telegram sent by Baron Huebner from France into a ball and threw it on the ground. With a disdainful expression on his face, he said firmly: "Bonaparte's wolf cub."

They will definitely trample on the territorial delimitation at the Congress of Vienna! If they recognize the territorial boundaries at the Congress of Vienna, they will undoubtedly abandon the legitimacy of the Bonaparte family. Once they refuse to recognize the territorial delimitation in 1815, we will have a reason

The United Kingdom of Britain joins the Russian Empire in interfering with the Austrian Empire."

In the view of Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg, recognition of the Congress of Vienna is the bottom line for the entire European monarchies.

Once the French Republic refuses to recognize the territorial divisions of 1815 at the Congress of Vienna, it means that France has secretly turned against itself.

At that time, he can win over the members of the original anti-French alliance to isolate France, and then isolate France.

Not to mention, Felix Schwarzenberg also holds in his hands an important chess piece that has a special attack on France - the orthodox heir Count Chambord (Henry V).

Once the formation of the anti-French Allied Forces is completed, they will push into France as quickly as possible, and at the same time sacrifice the most important Count of Chambord to disintegrate the royalists in the army, and then imitate the way they organized more than thirty years ago.

Just as he made Louis XVIII the King of France, he made the pedantic Henry V the King of France.

In Felix Schwarzenberg's plan, the revolutionary torch would be extinguished under the czar's butcher's knife, and orthodox principles would continue to exist in Europe for tens of thousands of years.

As long as the German Confederation declares war on France, it can logically transfer the control of the German army to the Austrian Empire. After the war with the French Republic, the Austrian Empire will no longer have great prestige with Prussia.

However, there is a huge flaw in Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg's carefully prepared plan to isolate France, and that is Britain's view of the Holy Alliance.

Felix Schwarzenberg didn't know that the more than thirty years of the Holy Alliance era had already given the British Kingdom the idea of ​​dismantling the Holy Alliance.

For the entire British Kingdom, which pays attention to the balance of the continent, there is no need for such a united organization to exist on the continent.

Not to mention that the barbaric Slavs from the east have extended their paws to the Strait of Hormuz through their influence on the Holy Alliance. They are about to complete Peter the Great's original dream of opening the sea.

Once the Russian fleet enters the Mediterranean, the entire Mediterranean will be in crisis, and the Slavic desire for livestock will never be satisfied.

Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg did not know that the issue between the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Britain had been elevated to a major conflict, and that the conflict between the Kingdom of Britain and the French Republic had been transformed into a secondary conflict.

Without Britain's participation, the anti-French Allied Forces would still have failed.

Now Felix Schwarzenberg has a vague feeling that things will not develop in the direction he wants.

"Sir, what should we do now?" the secretary asked Felix Schwarzenberg again.

Felix Schwarzenberg did not immediately answer the secretary's words. He got up from the jewel-encrusted chair and went to the balcony. He quietly stared at the tree stumps and bare earth in front of Schonbrunn Palace.

Before the European Revolution, there used to be a sycamore forest there, with lush lawns under the sycamore forest.

When Windischgratz dispatched artillery to attack the opposition in Vienna, in order to deal with the rebels as quickly as possible, the artillery launched an indiscriminate attack and accidentally hit the sycamore forest outside Schonbrunn Palace. Many sycamore trees fell to the ground and blocked them.

In order to allow the carriage to enter Schonbrunn Palace smoothly, Windischgratz ordered the soldiers to clean up all the fallen sycamore trees and transport them away. The place became what it is now, just like it is now a wasteland waiting to be revitalized.

Vienna.

However, Felix was motivated to found a revived Austrian Empire.

"Mr. Genz!" Felix Schwarzenberg said.

"Your Excellency!" Secretary von Genz quickly responded to Felix Schwarzenberg's call.

"Replant that piece of sycamore forest with sycamores! I will tell you about the countermeasures after I discuss it with His Majesty." Felix Schwarzenberg pointed to the sycamore forest with only tree stumps left and told Feng

Gentz ​​ordered.

Fon Genz was startled for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just responded with the word "yes".

"Go!" Felix Schwarzenberg waved his hand to von Genz to get down to business.

Von Genai could only hide all his doubts in his stomach, saluted Felix Schwarzenberg and left.

After von Genz left the Chancellor's Office, Felix Schwarzenberg also left the office.

Felix Schwarzenberg was greeted by many people when he was walking in the corridor of Schonbrunn Palace. Most of them were nobles of the Habsburg family who lived in Schonbrunn Palace. They expressed their appreciation for this man who helped Habsburg re-establish itself.

The military Prime Minister who returned to Vienna showed a more deferential attitude than during Prince Metternich's reign.

Felix Schwarzenberg also smiled and returned the greetings to these Habsburg nobles, but deep down in his heart he only had deep contempt for this group of useless people who had made no contribution.

Just when Felix Schwarzenberg was about to reach his inevitable destination, he met an unexpected person.

A soldier wearing the same light blue military uniform as Schwarzenberg, with two Grand Crosses hanging on his chest, rushed to say hello to Felix Schwarzenberg: "Prime Minister Felix, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still looking great.

Glow!”

Schwarzenberg looked surprised and said: "Archduke Albrecht, when did you return to Vienna!"

The person who surprised Schwarzenberg was Archduke Karl's son Albrecht, who was supposed to be serving on the Italian battlefield.

Since the death of Archduke Karl in 1846, Albrecht has inherited the title of Archduke Karl and is also known as Archduke Albrecht.

After being baptized by the Great Revolution, Archduke Albrecht seemed much calmer, and he answered unhurriedly.

"Thanks to your Majesty's summons, I have been summoned back from Lombardy!"

"How is Marshal's condition?" Felix Schwarzenberg asked Marshal Radetzki about his physical condition.

Although Felix Schwarzenberg only served as Radetzky's staff for less than two months, he deeply admired Radetzky's loyalty and ability.

If the Austrian Empire did not need a highly respected marshal to calm things down at this stage, he would definitely let Marshal Radetzky recuperate.

[Radetzky, who served as chief of staff of the coalition forces, is 83 years old.]

"The Marshal's body is still strong, and he is following your instructions to put pressure on the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Albrecht responded to Felix Schwarzenberg slowly.

"That's good!" Felix Schwarzenberg nodded.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister! If there is nothing else, I will leave first. The Marshal still needs me!" Albrecht said to Felix Schwarzenberg.

"Go! Say hello to the Marshal for me by the way!" Felix Schwarzenberg responded to Albrecht.

Albrecht nodded and walked behind Felix Schwarzenberg.

Just when Albrecht was about to pass Felix Schwarzenberg, Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Albrecht stayed where he was, staring at Felix Schwarzenberg with doubtful eyes.

Felix Schwarzenberg thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just said lightly, "Be careful."

Looking at Albrecht's retreating back, Felix Schwarzenberg decided to wait until Bach's plan was completed before asking Albrecht if he was willing to serve as Governor-General of Hungary.

Even provincial Hungary still needs a governor.

Felix Schwarzenberg continued walking in the direction that Albrecht came from, and soon came to Yimen Mountain.

Inside the walnut door is the office of Emperor Franz Joseph, the nominal supreme ruler of the entire Habsburg.

Joseph Franz, who is still 18 years old, is not so much a decision-maker as a learner.

His first task was to learn knowledge, and then he followed Felix Schwarzenberg to learn how to handle government affairs.

Of course, even when Joseph Franz was still in the learning stage, Felix Schwarzenberg did not dare to openly ignore the emperor. He had to report everything to the emperor.

Behind the emperor, there could be a Sophie empress dowager who was said to have had an affair with the King of Rome.

Felix Schwarzenberg, who had seen the political skills of Empress Dowager Sophie, did not dare to hide anything.

Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg, who was standing at the door, knocked gently.

The door opened slowly, and a military attache wearing a gray-black military uniform appeared in front of Felix Schwarzenberg.

Felix Schwarzenberg smiled and nodded to the attaché in front of him.

The Attendant Attaché turned to Joseph Franz and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Felix is ​​here to see you!"

"Let the Prime Minister come in!" Franz Joseph's voice came from inside the door.

The aide-de-camp hurriedly made way for Felix Schwarzenberg to enter. After the Prime Minister entered, the door was closed again.
