There is no doubt that the Prussian government, which lacks confidence, is more urgent about the Prussian alliance, and soon the two sides reached an agreement on the issue of fighting against foreign interference.

On November 11, 1850, Pub and Austria signed the German Treaty in Vienna, which stipulates that the two countries join forces to oppose foreign forces' interference in German regional affairs...

Interestingly, this treaty does not include the two principalities of Schleswig, Holstein, occupied by the Danes.

Obviously, after a failure, the confidence within the Prussian government was seriously insufficient, and while opposing the British, he did not dare to offend the Russians again.

Since the Prussian government does not require it, Austria will naturally not be troubled. Regardless of whether these two principalities can return to Germany's arms, there will be no Austria.

Franz did not learn from the Austrian government in history, but was fooled by the Prussians to send troops together.

What's the use of enclaves? Do you think Austria's defense pressure is not strong enough?

Metternich said: "Your Majesty, the Prussian government has filed a loan application for us. It seems that their financial crisis is even greater than we expected."

Franz said without hesitation: "This is good news. Since we ask for help, it means that they are blocking their search for loans in other financial markets.

Find a reason to refuse their loan application. Everyone is not optimistic about their client, so why should we go to this muddy water?"

If you don’t have a handful of things, there is not so much capital in Austria that needs to be exported, and Franz will not train his own competitors.

If there is a national credit rating in this era, then they are the lowest-level ones.

Just look at the debt and you will know that the total foreign debt of the Kingdom of Prussia is now as high as 700 million marks, and the annual fiscal revenue is only more than 40 million marks.

In 1847, Engels published an article in the Polar Star, pointing out the financial difficulties of the Prussian government, which roughly means: I will not be surprised at all if the Prussian government declares bankruptcy tomorrow.

What should I do if the Prussian government has no money?

The answer is very simple - reduce expenses and find ways to increase income.

Whether it is cutting military spending or reducing investment in industrial or domestic infrastructure, it is a good thing for Austria.

As for increasing income, this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time. I just experienced a revolution, and they dare not to impose heavy taxes?

"Yes, your majesty." Metternier replied

Dividing the German region? Unfortunately, this question is not suitable for discussion now. If the radicals in Prussia find out and start a war in advance, Austria will be cheated and cry.

Don't doubt this possibility. The following are not only capable of the Japanese, but also the Prussian Kings of this era.

However, their officers are basically nobles, and they have a little higher knowledge. They are not barefoot with family and career, and they usually do not take blind actions.

...

The most embarrassing thing about the recovery of relations between Pu and Austria is the Kingdom of Bavaria. The facts once again prove that walking a tightrope is easy to fall. Now Maximi I has experienced it.

Easing relations with Austria became the top priority before him.

In the Palace of Munich

Maximi I asked expectantly: "What can you do to get rid of our current diplomatic dilemma?"

In this era, with the support of Britain, France and Russia, they would be worried about diplomatic difficulties. If this is said out, many people would probably regard it as a joke.

Now this joke has become a reality in the Kingdom of Bavaria. What can I do if I have the support of the great powers?

People just verbally support, but you really take it seriously, so be prepared to cry!

The suggestion was first proposed by the British, but now when the Bavarian Kingdom needed their actual support, John Bull began to pretend to be confused.

"Your Majesty, let's get married!" said the head of the head with a quick decision.

The marriage between the Bavarian royal family and Austrian is traditional. Franz's mother comes from the Bavarian royal family, and the royal relationship between the two countries is still good.

Now if you want to ease your relationship with Austria, the least price is marriage. If you marry a princess and become the queen of the Austrian Empire, the Wittelsbach family will not suffer any losses.

Maximi I thought for a while and said, "Well, Franz needs a queen now, and Helen is just right."

It is not that simple to promote the continued marriage between the two royal families. There are many nobles who are interested in the position of Austrian queen, and it is difficult to achieve their goals.

However, Princess Helen has an advantage - the Austrian Empress Dowager is her aunt, and this one alone can defeat many opponents.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. Her background is too low and not a direct relationship between the Bavarian royal family, and her relationship with the king is a bit far away.

Maximi I also wanted to find the princess who was close to her, but it was really a coincidence that the age gap was too big and it was not suitable. I couldn't tell Franz to wait first, your wife was still sipping breasts in her mother-in-law's arms.

...

Vienna

News of the Bavarian royal family wanting to marry again came over, and Empress Dowager Sophie immediately expressed her welcome, and the two sides hit it off.

Unfortunately, Franz is not Franz in history now, and Empress Dowager Sophie has much smaller influence than in history.

In history, Queen Mother Sophie made great efforts to succeed to the throne, and for this, she also attracted a Queen Mother Party to come out.

It's different now. Franz took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the Vienna rebellion and took power. Naturally, the empress dowager, no chance to perform.

If you miss the opportunity and have not established a gang, it will be impossible to interfere in politics.

If there is no chance, there will be no chance. People’s ambitions are not born. After Franz ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Sophie lived her own free life and had no intention of seizing power with her son.

Of course, it is possible to seize power. The Empress Dowager is indeed very high in his status, but unfortunately, he naturally cannot become Empress Dowager Cixi when he meets the strong Franz.

She could ignore other things. When Franz's marriage, she, the mother, thought she had to personally ask about it.

In this era, Europe also had arranged marriages and free love. Is this a god-like thing? Not to mention nobles, even ordinary children can decide their marriages freely.

Franz's treatment is pretty good, and as the emperor, his opinions must also be taken into consideration. If he firmly opposes, no one can force him.

After receiving this news, Franz was completely stunned. Why did he get so much ahead of time? Could it be that the marriage between the two royal families had already begun to prepare for it?

After thinking about the current international situation, it was indeed a political marriage, which was completely the need of the Bavarian Kingdom to ease its relations with Austria.

Franz said straight to the point: "Mother, now in the international situation, Austria is not suitable for marriage with Bavaria."

Upon hearing this news, Empress Dowager Sophie's face suddenly became gloomy, but she did not object.

There were no fools in the royal family, and although they were reluctant, Empress Dowager Sophie did not scold Franz.

From her position, the interests of the Austrian royal family are obviously higher than those of the Bavarian royal family. There are husbands and sons here, and she cannot let Franz sacrifice the interests of the royal family to promote this marriage.

This is different from the history of Napoleon fighting with Austria and marrying the princess of the Habsburg family. It is because Napoleon is not born enough and needs this marriage to increase the aristocrats' recognition of him.

Now that Austria and Bavaria are married, Franz only marry the princess of the Vittersbach family. He is originally a low marriage, and it will not be worth it if he loses political benefits.

Queen Mother Sophie thought about it and asked, "The relationship between Austria and Bavaria has deteriorated to this point?"

She has been no longer concerned about politics for a long time, and she is not sure that the Austrian government intends to distance itself from the Kingdom of Bavaria. At this time, the Kingdom of Bavaria happened to be a traitor, so the relationship between the two sides will naturally not be better.

Franz said calmly: "That's right, not long ago, the Bavarian government betrayed the covenant between the two countries and turned to the Kingdom of Prussia. Now that the relationship between Prussia and Austria is eased, the Kingdom of Bavaria will naturally have to pay the price."

Empress Dowager Sophie's expression darkened. When she encountered this situation, she was really embarrassed when she was stuck in the middle.

Looking at his mother in a dilemma, Franz comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. This is just a normal conflict of interest between countries and will not affect the relationship between the royal families of the two countries.

It’s just that at the moment of conflict, if news of marriage is heard, it will have a very bad impact among the people.”

After hearing this explanation, Empress Dowager Sophie's expression was slightly relaxed. At the same time, she also felt a little dissatisfied with the family's proposed reunion.

No matter how much she wants her niece to become a queen, she will never be able to pay her son's reputation as a price. All parents are the same on this issue.

Empress Dowager Sophie thought for a while and said, "Then let's put this matter aside first, and I'll talk about it in two years."

The European aristocrats got married late, Franz was not old, and her niece was even younger, so it didn't matter if they were delayed for a few years.

Seeing that his mother was still unwilling to give up, Franz didn't say anything. It would be best to delay this. If he refused directly, it would probably take a new marriage partner to jump out soon.

With this shield, he has bought Franz for at least a few years. During this period, he can go out for a walk and see if he can meet someone with a similar identity - true love. If it doesn't work, he can marry a beautiful princess.

Ideals always need to be found, what if they are realized?

Now Franz's characterization determines that his personal ethics must be flawless and he cannot be willful in his personal marriage. At least before his prestige is established, this characterization cannot collapse.

This is the price of being an emperor. If there is a choice, Franz will still choose to be an emperor.

The price you pay is great, but the rewards are also great! It is not ordinary difficulty to be able to control one's own destiny in this dark era.

Ordinary people will have no pressure? No one will have no pressure?

Not long ago, Austria still killed people, and many nobles from the prominent side were sent to the guillotine. Do they really deserve it?

How many people are involved and can't extricate themselves in the end, and their bodies and heads are different?

Franz knew all these situations, but no matter how he knew, he could not overturn the verdict for these people. Regardless of whether he was voluntarily or not, he had to pay the price to participate in the rebellion.
