In the Hofburg Palace, after receiving the news, a group of royal lords were anxiously thinking about countermeasures. It was not that they didn't want to run away, but that they could no longer run away.

Before the situation got out of control, the Vienna court was holding a secret meeting to consider whether to replace Prime Minister Metternich and calm the anger of the people.

As a result, the sudden chaos broke the deployment of many people. Now there are rebels everywhere outside, and they dare not take the risk of leaving.

The lessons of the French Revolution told them that no matter what kind of aristocrats are noble, they killed the nobles.

In fact, as long as the palace guards go out to quell the rebellion at this time, it is still very likely that the rebellion will be exterminated in the cradle.

Unfortunately, there was even one of these nobles who dared to take responsibility. No one dared to make this decision, and he didn't even have the courage to go out to command the city defense forces to quell the rebellion.

Emperor Ferdinand I's attitude can be ignored. After suddenly being so excited, epilepsy has occurred again and cannot be expected to make a decision.

No one wants to take the blame, Queen Anna is not stupid. She never likes to participate in politics, so naturally she will not express her opinion at this time.

Grand Duke Franz Carl, who was second only to the emperor, was so scared that his face was pale at this time. It was obviously impossible for him to make a decision.

The only Grand Duke Louis who had some ability was not able to deal with such a big scene, otherwise he would not be suppressed by Prime Minister Metternich in the Regent Committee.

"The news has been sent out. In at most two days, the city defense force will come back to suppress the rebellion and order the troops to stand firm and wait for assistance!"

Grand Duke Louis, who frowned, finally made a decision that was not a decision.

Give up Vienna and run away?

No one can bear this consequence, and Grand Duke Louis can't afford it either.

Once Vienna is given up, the impact will be great. Maybe the Habsburg family will be companion of the French Orleans royal family and lose the throne together.

At this time, everyone looked at Ferdinand I, who was like a child, and everyone felt that the future was unbright.

If Ferdinand I was a normal person, this would also be able to summon the rebel leaders to negotiate. After all, most of the rebels in the city revolted under the banner of the emperor.

By using political means, some rebels can still be won over, and the subsequent things will be easier.

They believe that their ability to fight politically will not lose to a group of nouveau riche. As long as they are within the scope of the rules, everyone will have a way to deal with it.

This is a good thing for Franz. For his own interests, the nobles now need a promising monarch to reshape the monarch's majesty and protect their rights.

...

The news of the Vienna rebellion had been passed to Franz, but it was only a day later than the government's order.

"What happened in Albrecht, Vienna, and the demonstrations on March 7 clashed with the troops who intercepted them. That night, a rebellion broke out in Vienna."

Upon hearing the news, Albrecht's face changed and he hurriedly asked, "What's the situation now? Has the rebellion been suppressed?"

Franz shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. However, the possibility of rebellion being suppressed is very small. Prime Minister Metternich is old, and no one in the Vienna government has this responsibility!"

The Austrian Empire is old and no one is willing to bear the consequences of suppressing the rebellion.

The emperor cannot be in charge normally. Whoever makes this decision means the end of his political life. Maybe he has to go to prison.

This is not only a darkness from the enemy, but also a lot of criticism from the inside, and a lot of charges such as tyrants, butchers, etc. will be put on the top of the head.

In this case, in order to avoid becoming a scapegoat, at the beginning of the rebellion, many people would be timid and dare not order bloody suppression.

Basically, we have to wait until things get bigger and everyone realizes the threat, so that conservatives can work together to suppress it.

This is the common feature of the old European empires. Taking the Paris Revolution as an example, the death toll was only single digits. This is not a revolution, it is clearly a village-level fight.

The same is true for the March Revolution in Vienna. The casualties caused by the firefight between rebels and government forces are absolutely not as high as those caused by robbers taking advantage of the situation.

Many so-called military forces in history books sympathize with the revolution and remain neutral during the revolution, but in fact no one gave them orders to suppress them.

In this era, "transportation depends on walking, communication depends on yelling", it is very inconvenient to transmit information. At the beginning, there was no order to suppress it. When the rebellion became a big deal, even the order could not be passed on to suppress it.

This is European politics. The officers at the bottom dare not make decisions. They have to report to suppress the rebellion layer by layer, waiting for the cabinet to make a decision, and the daylily is cold when they make a decision.

Albrecht sighed, looked at the direction of Vienna, and said helplessly: "Then let's speed up!"

"No need! At the current speed, we can arrive in Vienna the morning after tomorrow. Even if we speed up, we will not be able to launch an attack at night!

Vienna will not fall so soon. There are so many policemen and 5,000 city defense forces in the city. Even if they are waste, there should be no problem, right?

I have ordered the palace guards to strengthen their vigilance, and a group of mobs cannot attack!" Franz explained

It is impossible to march overnight. The troops must maintain sufficient physical strength, otherwise how can they ensure combat effectiveness?

Although Franz's military command ability is only average, he still understands the "reason that we cannot fight" of tired soldiers.

The main reason why Albrecht wanted to speed up was political factors. Originally, the city defense army went out to train, which caused the Vienna rebellion not to be suppressed in time, so he, the commander of the city defense army, would take the blame.

Now that I have received the news, I haven't rushed back as fast as possible, it's a political stain.

All these responsibilities will be borne by him, the commander of the city defense force, and he has no relationship with Franz. Who made him the head coach?

Franz also knows these problems, but now he cannot take risks. The most important thing is to suppress the rebellion by steadily.

The problem of taking the blame, who doesn’t take the blame for the leader?

"But now, the rebellion is still a group of mobs. If it takes a long time, it will probably become a climate, and it will be difficult to fight at that time!" Albrecht thought for a while and said

"Albrecht, don't worry about this problem. I can guarantee that the longer the rioters will become more chaotic, and it will be impossible to integrate them!" Franz said confidently.
