Austria 1840

Chapter 37: 4th in Italy

In fact, it was not only Maria Ludovica who recognized Cousin Karl, but the whole of Austria once again recognized Archduke Karl, the **** of war.

It was Karl Ludwig Johann Lorenz, who once again saved Austria and saved the nobles who belonged to Vienna. Although he went to the Holy Roman Empire, he left behind the Austrian Empire.

The nobles who lost their territories and homes felt that there was still hope and a chance to regain everything they had been deprived by France and Napoleon.

After this battle, everyone was tired and wanted to recuperate, including that annoying Napoleon.

Maria Ludovica also had a private exchange with her cousin Karl in Vienna.

Maria Ludovica's family is not the only relatives who escaped during the war. When the country is at peace, they can communicate more, but for the past ten years or so, they have been fighting and preparing for war.

Although everyone is in Vienna, they have never met each other a few times. This time the Habsburg family invited relatives to visit Schönbrunn Palace.

Maria Ludovica watched the waves of people go to express her admiration and admiration to Cousin Karl.

Finally, she seized an opportunity and asked Cousin Carl a question.

"Cousin Carl, why don't you fight Napoleon and go to the Holy Roman Empire Crown instead?"

Archduke Karl, who was now thirty-five years old, was strong and well-mannered, with strong lines on his face and sharp eyes.

"What's the matter, my Ludovica is interested in this?"

He was very surprised to hear his cousin ask this question, but as his brother's encouragement to his younger sister to seek knowledge, he still explained it to her.

"We can't beat Napoleon at this time. Even if we can, what can we do? Our family will also be wiped out. Maybe other people, such as Russia and even Prussia, can come and destroy us by the way..."

It turns out that it is so good, Maria Ludovica never thought of it before.

"...As for the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, Napoleon's army is strong and strong, of course we have to admit defeat, otherwise it will be a greater insult. If you remove the crown, you can at least change it for another crown."

"Then we didn't let Napoleon take advantage, did we? It's just a name."

This is obviously the first time the little girl has seen real knowledge. Her thirst for knowledge is hard to satisfy.

"No, let's not say how much Napoleon took advantage of, but we lost a lot of money."

"Well, what does this mean?"

Ludovica's eyes widened, with an expression like I don't understand, tell me quickly.

"Although the Holy Roman Empire has long lived up to its name, it is a loose federation, not a compact empire like France, but as long as the name is still there, it can carry this righteousness to command the princes."

The young military **** had to explain further

"Napoleon took our name off, and we will give orders to the princes in the future, and the effect will be much worse. Also, our spirit and energy have been knocked out."

The last sentence is the key point, because after a few defeats, the effect of the orders has become much worse. Those in the north of Austria have stopped listening, not to mention those in Belgium and the Netherlands in the northwest of France.

"So, we won't be able to fight any more in the past few years. It's not just about military reforms, training the army, but more importantly, we have to renew our energy."

Although the **** of war emphasized, it is a pity that her fan cousin did not grasp the point.

"Cousin Carl doesn't look like a hero at all, just like an ordinary general. He has no high-spiritedness, no arrogance, and no momentum to look down on the world."

She changed her mind to chat with her cousin.

"How can you think that I am a hero, I am the Marshal of the Holy Roman Empire, the chairman of the Austrian Military Council, the country has been defeated, how can I be a hero?"

Archduke Karl said a little reproachfully, as if he was not answering his cousin, but telling himself.

"That's what Cousin Franz defeated, not you."

Fans excuse their idols.

"I can't say that. On the surface, the emperor failed to defeat Napoleon, but in fact, the army I trained was not good enough, my military reform was not in place, and the work was not done well, and I failed to take up my responsibilities."

"Besides, as the person who understands this army best, before the war, I failed to dissuade the emperor, and during the war, I failed to provide the emperor with the right solution, nor did I return to help the emperor in time, and failed to save the emperor. Those 100,000 soldiers."

The more he talked, the more lonely he became, and suddenly he changed from being dignified to a little dejected.

However, in Ludovica's view, a cousin with a bit of depression is more flavorful.

"How can I be considered a hero?"

"How can I be considered a hero?"

"How can I be considered a hero?"

The war **** murmured, ignored his cousin, turned around slowly, and left, leaving a slightly hunched back in Ludovica's eyes.

What Ludovica didn't see was that soon, the military **** stood up again. He knew that as long as he rested for a while, he could still earn a place for Austria.

Since this time he was pressed to the ground and ravaged by France, his majesty lost, Franz II of the Holy Roman Empire, who has now changed his name to Franz I of the Austrian Empire, temporarily extinguished the fire of ambition.

Under the dissuasion of Archduke Karl, Austria did not participate in the Fourth Anti-French Coalition, and they were determined to recuperate.

Britain and Russia carried the banner of this anti-French alliance, and Prussia and Sweden followed suit.

Britain and Russia attacked Austria in public opinion. What cowards, cowards, ignorant enterprising and other words are thrown over without money.

Emperor Franz II and Archduke Karl endured the dirty water from these empires and remained unmoved.

At the same time, there is also pressure from public opinion in the country, especially those nobles who were destroyed by Napoleon's fall. They are waiting for the Holy Roman Empire, their mother country, to help them restore their country.

Although the Holy Roman Empire is gone, its successor state, the Austrian Empire, still has the responsibility and obligation to help the nobles who flocked to Vienna to restore their country.

Help them return to their kingdom, their principality, their own territory, and continue to live a life of drunkenness.

Ludovica also specifically came to the door, aggressively, and questioned this cousin, who was known as a military god, but who was capable but inactive.

"Maria Ludovica Beatrix..."

Why does my cousin call me so formally?

"...You are already an adult, you came to ask me as a representative of the nobles who broke down and destroyed the country, and as the daughter of the Habsburg family, you should have a good IQ, and it is necessary for me to formally and talk about it."

"Yes, I think it is your responsibility to help me recover my country. Please answer me formally, why?"

Hearing her cousin's harsh, even stylized remarks, Ludovica was also a little angry. She stiffened her neck to talk to her cousin, and she was no longer with her cousin, but used you to help us recover. Divide you and me.

"I know more about the military power of the Austrian Empire than you, than those who want us to attack France. Do you agree with this?"

Carl asked straightly.

"I agree." Concise, in fact, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you.

"I know more about Napoleon's opponent than you, than those who want us to attack France, do you agree?"

Archduke Karl asked directly again.

"Also agree." It's a fact, I have to agree.

"My military capability is stronger than yours, than those who made us attack France, do you agree?"

Archduke Karl said with a serious face, not avoiding the suspicion of boasting.

"I don't agree. You have fought with Napoleon a few times, and other generals of our countries have also fought with Napoleon a few times. Anyway, they can't beat him. Why are you better than us?"

Although Maria Ludovica recognized her cousin's military ability, she still had to be tougher.

"Okay, let me explain, I have fought against Napoleon several times. Although I failed, I lost a lot, and even beat his friendly army and servant army to the ground, forcing Napoleon to return to the division on his own battlefield. Do you agree?"

"Okay, you are better than us, and if we fight against him, the whole army will be wiped out. Although you lose, you still have strength and can threaten him and contain him. Your military capability is stronger than ours, you are awesome, You're great, all right."

The little girl said angrily.

"Since this is the case, you should be convinced of my judgment, instead of coming over to the layman to command the expert, the big defeat to command the small defeat, and the entire army to be destroyed.

Regardless of her anger or not, Archduke Karl just provided rational persuasion information.

"It's just that you don't want to attack, or don't dare to attack. You are afraid of being beaten by Napoleon, and you stay at home and don't dare to move. Why are you talking nonsense?"

Maria Ludovica went into attack mode.

"Maria, you know, if you weren't my cousin, I would kick you out. I saw you soon after you were born. I treat you like my own child."

The war **** lowered his voice a little bit softer.

"Do you have children, not even a wife?"

Maria Ludovica began to crook the building.

"To put it another way, if we attacked Napoleon as you urged, do you know what would happen?"

Carl ignored her nonsense~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and explained further patiently.

"Ang, what's the matter, is it possible that Austria will also destroy the country? That's right, we destroy the country, and you also destroy the country. Everyone is embarrassed together, and everyone runs for their lives together."

The little girl who has grown up was still not convinced, and said to her cousin, the military god, like a child.

"Yes, it is the destruction of the country. Do you know what is the reason why you can still live in splendid clothes and jade food? It is not because of Austria, but because Austria did not destroy the country..."

Ah, I was just talking angry words, I didn't really want to slap you, you really explained it to me.

"...If Austria destroys the country, not only will your good days come to an end, but your lives will come to an end. When the French Republic started, how many nobles were killed, do you know?"

"I don't know." The little girl muttered.

Carl ignored her muttering and continued to explain.

"If Austria also destroys the country, Napoleon will kill you all in order to prevent you from returning to the country. He will also kill everyone in our Habsburg family."

Karl further explained the consequences and why if Austria was destroyed.

"Killing you and us will not only prevent us from returning to the country, but also raid our home by the way, and take out a little bit from the raided home to buy the brainless people below."

God of War, take it easy, and then continue to explain to her.

"We don't attack in order to accumulate strength. Not to mention that our hard power is not as good as that of France now. Even if it is the same as or even stronger than France, as long as we attack France, we will still lose."

"Cousin, I don't understand this anymore. I don't understand your words."

The little girl stopped arguing with her cousin. She raised her head, looked at the somewhat haggard face of the idol, and said softly.
