Can Schwarzenberg not know the intentions of Wendy Schwartz? Objectively speaking, he and Wendy Schgratz are the same type of people. They both want to do everything possible to maintain Austria's majesty, but the problem is that maintaining majesty does not mean
To be one's friend is not to maintain dignity, but to destroy oneself!
"Austria's majesty is not achieved by bossing around Baron Jelacic! That is not maintaining the majesty, but destroying itself!"
Schwarzenberg expressed his attitude very seriously. He criticized mercilessly: "Austria's dignity is supported by Austria's strength. Majesty without strength is just bluff. Once it is exposed, it is majesty."
sweep the floor!"
"What you are doing now is to force our friends and those who can cooperate with us to become our enemies. What kind of maintenance of dignity is this? You are trying to put Austria to death!"
Wendy Schretz's face turned a little blue, because Schwarzenberg had never spoken to him in this tone before. This was already a complete denial and a slap in the face. For him, who was arrogant and arrogant, this was a complete denial.
Kind of like an insult!
Naturally, he was still very unconvinced, but before he could argue, Schwarzenberg continued to criticize: "I don't know what you encountered in Prague that made you become as narrow-minded and extreme as you are now, but I think
Let me tell you that I and others who support cooperation with Jelacic love Austria deeply and are as willing as you to dedicate everything to Austria!"
"We are as sad and anxious as you are about the current situation! However, this does not mean that we will agree with your unreasonable behavior. If you want to save Austria, you must get rid of this bad habit of going your own way, otherwise
, I can only say that you will push Austria into the abyss! At that time, we will never recover!"
"Anyone who wants to destroy Austria, regardless of his previous identity, status, or achievements, is our enemy, and we will never be merciful to our enemies!"
Wendy Schgratz stopped talking, because Schwarzenberg's unprecedented stern tone told him that this brother-in-law was not joking with him now, but was definitely serious. He knew very well that if he continued to look for Jelacic
If there is something wrong with him, then this brother-in-law with great powers and deep connections may personally deal with him.
Although Wendy Schwartz did not think that Schwarzenberg had this ability, he knew that if the other party really did this, it would mean a break within the Austrian royalists, and such a break would hit Austria hard again.
Wendy Schwartz is not willing to see such a result, because even if he is reluctant, he must admit that Schwarzenberg has great energy and has greater political influence than him. Once he is allowed to unite
Other nobles would really cause him big trouble.
So Wendy Schgrätz had no choice but to give in, but he was still a bit tough: "Since you have said so, what else can I say? However, I must remind you for the last time, whether it is a Croatian or a Hungarian or
All other Slavs are unreliable, trusting and indulging them will destroy Austria!"
"So I will keep a close eye on them. As long as they make any rash move, I will eradicate them with the force of thunder without mercy!"
This meeting was destined not to be particularly pleasant, and it could even be said to have paved the way for the two to part ways in the future. Both of them had their own persistence, especially Wendy Schgrätz, who always felt that he was the only one who was right and opposed
What he said is all wrong, and this black-and-white approach makes him look like a man seeking defeat in politics.
But the problem is that Windisch Gratz is just like Dugu Qiufei. He does not have the strength of Dugu Qiufei and is not capable of defeating everyone. Therefore, his all-or-nothing exclusive strategy will only make the supporters
There are fewer and fewer of his people and more and more people are against him.
Therefore, this person was destined to be unfit for politics, which is why he once had a huge reputation in Austria, but in the end he could only step down in despair.
But Schwarzenberg is different. Although he is not the kind of super-capable politician, he has all the qualities necessary for a good politician. He also has his own persistence, but at the same time he also has flexible skills and
With a clear vision, he knew that the current Austria was not the time to keep pretending to be great, but that the current Austria was really just a rundown!
After settling down, he should stop pretending to be a noble man and must put aside his status to survive. As long as Austria can continue to survive, he will do anything, even if it doesn't look good.
So he didn't care about Wendy Schretz's pretentious and cold tone, let alone his fake threats and reminders. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it. From this aspect, he was indeed very powerful.
"How was your conversation with Archduke Franz Joseph?"
Wendy Schretz actually didn't want to talk about anything else right now, which made him feel like he was being led around. However, Schwarzenberg initiated the topic and he couldn't refuse. After all, changing the monarch was something they both had in common.
desire.
In fact, Archduke Franz Joseph was no stranger to him. As the nephew of Ferdinand I, this young man who had just turned 18 years old had extraordinary appearance. He looked more pleasing to the eye than his mentally retarded uncle and slow father.
few.
If we only look at appearance, supporting this grand duke to succeed the throne is really a move to make Austria look good. After all, the appearance of Ferdinand I is really unsightly.
It's just that when you choose a monarch, you don't just look at looks. There are also a lot of good-looking kings who are actually useless. What's more, this Archduke Franz Joseph is a bit too young, giving Wendy Schretz a kind of... How should I put it?
, Wendy Schgrätz felt that the Grand Duke was a bit exaggerated, whimsical or inexplicable.
Schwarzenberg fell into deep thought, because he somewhat agreed with Wendy Schgratz's feeling. It was not a problem for Archduke Franz Joseph to be young, because even though his uncle Ferdinand I was already forty when he succeeded to the throne,
Although he is many years old, his intelligence is probably not as good as that of a ten-year-old child.
They have been able to endure such a stupid person for more than ten years. If a young man with an eighteen-year-old intelligence comes to power, it can't be worse, right? What really makes Schwarzenberg hesitate is the politics of this archduke.
He could feel that the Grand Duke was a little out of touch, or that he was too focused on short-term interests. The Grand Duke's political vision was always only as small as the one under his nose. This was a fatal problem...
