After all his words and words, Franz reluctantly convinced his mother and gained the right to arrange time freely, but he still had to attend classes, but he only deleted a lot.

For example, religious classes, language classes, and art classes that Franz thinks are of little use have been compressed. If Sophie had not insisted, he would have even deleted the political classes.

The main reason is that the content here is still a hundred years ago, for example: the nobles are supreme, the chivalrous spirit is sacred...

The imperial academic that Franz was most interested in was only a deleted version. He could not see any conspiracy and tricks, but only the spirit of dominance was left.

For example: When the emperor's body was shaken, the heroes bowed and bowed their heads to surrender.

...

Is this cultivating the emperor, not fooling the people?

If an emperor is really cultivated according to this standard, then with the complex situation in Austria, another person will be added to the guillotine.

It is now 1846. If nothing unexpected happens, Franz will inherit this ancient empire in two years, and now there is not much time left for him.

Participate in politics in advance?

This is obviously impossible. Anything that changes the overall situation of history will bring uncertainty to the future. Franz will not take risks before he succeeds to the throne.

Of course, he can't do it if he wants to join. How much politically can a 16-year-old kid have?

Even if Franz is the crown prince, he cannot change his age flaws.

However, this does not prevent him from causing trouble. Many times, it is much better to push the hands behind the scenes than to charge directly in front of the battle.

For example, now Franz is going to visit a big man, the legendary Austrian figure - Grand Duke Carl.

As the most legendary general of the Allied Army in the anti-French war, he defeated the French army many times. At the age of 25, he was promoted to marshal for his merits. He was also the only general in the Allied Army that Napoleon feared.

Otherwise, the Vienna government's incompetence would ruin a good hand of cards, and perhaps the anti-French war would end early without waiting for the Russians to rescue the ground, and Austria would not have to lose the Netherlands.

Such a marshal who specializes in placing the emperor's incompetence will naturally not have any good results, especially Grand Duke Carl or the royal family.

Fortunately, it is here in the European continent. Austrian Franz I, the protagonist's grandfather, is not a cruel master. This marshal who is very capable of being active until now.

A strong man in military affairs does not mean a strong man in politics. After using him to reform the Austrian army, his political enemies used some tricks and asked him to resign and go home by himself.

From then on, Grand Duke Carl went home to study military theory and created military books such as "On the Tactics of Generals", "On the Strategic Principles from the German War in 1796" and "History of German and Swiss War in 1799".

This is how a generation of military strategists were developed. Carl believes that military science consists of two parts: strategy and tactics.

Strategy is the science of the Supreme Commander, and the task is to formulate war plans and determine military operations. Tactics is the art of commanders at all levels and belong to the battlefield.

Strategy and tactics are composed of certain rules or principles. The important principle of military science is: correctly calculate the forces and weapons that can achieve the predetermined goal, and the forces must be adapted to the goal.

No matter how many troops are, the maximum effect can be produced only when it is used in time at the decision time.

Therefore, correctly judging the timing and concentrating forces at the moment when the results are most effective is the most effective way to win.

Another key point is: to form an overwhelming advantage in decisive locations. Forces not only refer to the number of troops, but also include military morale, commander's ability and terrain conditions.

At the same time, the types of combat are also divided into offense and defense, and the attack is considered to be more favorable, pointing out that defensive combat is only meaningful if it is scheduled to be transferred to offense.

He also clearly put forward the concept of reserve team, clearly pointing out that whether it is offense or defense, it is necessary to leave the reserve team to prevent emergencies on the battlefield.

Carl believes that the commander is of great importance to the fate of the country and the lives of millions of people, but the commander is not born, but is created by knowledge and experience.

A true commander must deeply understand the essence of war, carefully study the laws of war, and learn and apply their own and others' experiences in practice in order to apply various military principles freely.

Such a genius military strategist would be a shame for the reputation of the time traveler without using it.

Military reform is not only correct, but the conservative forces in the army are often stronger than ordinary people think. Franz has a deep understanding of this.

Any reform will violate interest groups, and rebound is naturally indispensable. Franz said that he can't bear such a pot.

For example, if Franz proposes reform of the staff system, everyone will probably just laugh it off, and some people will even point out that naughty kids are playing.

It would be different if this Grand Duke Carl was changed. Whether everyone agrees or not, they must sit down and think about it.

"Have a moment, the master will come out in a while!"

The housekeeper said politely, with a little nervous tone. Franz is not an ordinary grandpa. Is it really good to keep him cold like this?

But for Grand Duke Carl, these are all over the world. When it comes to seniority in the royal family, he is Franz's grandfather.

Putting aside these things, Franz had to give him face with his influence in the Imperial Army, because today Franz came to visit under the pretext of studying military.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just waiting here. By the way, I'll make me a pot of tea. I don't want to drink coffee recently!" Franz said with a smile.

He was not angry at all. Anyway, this old man will get a lunch box next year, so there is no need to argue with a dead person.

Time flies, and more than an hour passed in a flash. Franz was still drinking tea and looking at the newspaper without any impatience.

"Long time no see Franz, you're so tall!"

A cheerful voice sounded, and Franz knew that the person who came was Grand Duke Carl, and no one here dared to talk to him like this except him.

"Dear Marshal, can you remove that small word when you call me? I am already 16 years old!" Franz said helplessly.

"Is that so? My little Franz has grown up. What's the matter with me today?" Carl asked concernedly.

Franz didn't care about the details of Grand Duke Carl's words. Little Franz is just Little Franz. Who said Grand Duke Carl is Grand Duke Franz's brother?

"Marson, I have read your military works and have a deep understanding of it and come here to ask for advice!"

"Tell me, what do you don't understand? I need me to explain it to you?" Grand Duke Carl said with a laugh.

"It's your idea of ​​command. I found that the Imperial Army has done very little in this regard and has not solved this problem in essence!" Franz said.
