Holy Roman Empire

It wasn't Franz's intention to show up so early, if he could, he didn't mind being remotely controlled behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. As the crown prince of the Austrian Empire, his every move was within the sight of those who are interested.

Recently, Franz has been in frequent contact with the military. If it was not for his young age, he didn't have the right to control, and I don't know how big a storm has already occurred.

No matter how disturbing the line of sight or public opinion, Franz must stand at the front desk. The difference lies in whether someone was pushed to the front desk or he took the initiative to stand at the front desk.

Franz didn't want to make a pawn, he chose to take the initiative at this time. If history did not change, a revolution would break out in Vienna in March 1848, and he would take the throne in December.

In order not to be hacked by the insurgents and to succeed in the throne of the executioner, Franz had to make a move first.

Everyone has a preconceived notion. As long as an image of a benevolent monarch is created, any attack or blackout will be futile. At this time, the popularity of the Austrian royal family has not collapsed.

"How do I let you secretly recruit people, Raul?" Franz asked with concern.

"Dear Grand Duke, the progress is not very smooth. Too few people can meet your requirements. So far I have only dug two people in the secret police. Their ability has only reached your minimum requirements!" Raul was distressed. Answered

Franz hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that it was so difficult to recruit intelligence personnel. Is his own standard really high?

He only put forward the most basic requirements: loyalty to the royal family, no political tendencies, a certain degree of wisdom, courage, alertness and patience, but also a keen judgment, and it is best to have a certain professional ability.

He didn't even put forward his personal temperament, learned knowledge, keen political sense of smell, and powerful analytical ability.

"Where is the main requirement not met?" Franz asked with concern.

"Dagong, there are many people who meet one or several items alone, but when combined, few people can meet your requirements!" Raul thought for a while and said

Franz was dumbfounded, and it is true to think about it. There were very few professional intelligence personnel in this era, most of them were amateurs.

It is very difficult to establish an intelligence organization. Even if his imperial crown prince can dig the corner of the government, can these people's loyalty be guaranteed?

What if it is a spy sent by someone else?

No doubt, don't say that in this era, even the professional intelligence personnel of later generations have owners. Franz wants to establish an intelligence organization, either to cultivate it himself or to dig the corner of the government.

"What advice do you have, don't hide it!"

Franz asked, frowning at the restless Raul.

"Prince, in fact, you don't need to form a separate intelligence organization. There is an intelligence organization in the hands of the royal family, but these years ..."

Half of Raul's words ended abruptly.

Franz nodded, and he knew the royal intelligence organization. Under normal circumstances, this organization is responsible only to the emperor.

The size of this intelligence organization is small, and its scope of business is relatively single, that is, to monitor the situation in the country, as well as several neighbors.

After his uncle came to power, the organization was almost deserted, and many intelligence personnel were dug into the corner by Prime Minister Metternich.

How much loyalty the remaining staff has is also a question worth considering.

When the Emperor was weak, Franz despised these nobles without taking the opportunity to reach out to these departments.

This also means that the intelligence organization under the Royal Family is actually a sieve that does not know how many forces it has.

Franz wanted to start a new stove from the beginning, which is why he wanted to build an intelligence organization that was completely loyal to himself.

It now seems that time is running out, and the Vienna Revolution is about to erupt in one year. When he trains the intelligence personnel, he will not be able to touch the roots.

"Well, Raul sent someone to check first. There are those big forces infiltrating this organization. Let's do it secretly. I believe there must be people loyal to the royal family!" Franz said firmly.

If all the people were bought out, the Habsburgs wouldn't have to be confused. It can be passed down from the 11th century to the present and has been standing on the pinnacle of Europe. The Habsburg family is definitely not that simple.

From the situation in Austria, Franz can speculate one or two. Now that uncle Ferdinand I was unable to handle government affairs, power fell to Prime Minister Metternich.

However, this minister is not ridiculous. Don't talk about oppressing the royal family. Even many times, his policies are affected by the Vienna court.

You have to know that the main representative of this generation of the Grand Duke Franz Karl is also congenital, and his political IQ is infinite.

Franz can easily get military support. The biggest reliance is on his origin, the heir to the Habsburg family, the crown prince of the Austrian Empire.

Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Didn't see that after the outbreak of the Vienna Revolution in history, the Prime Minister Metternich was forced to step down without the support of the military?

Then the situation is not as bad as imagined. Perhaps the aristocratic forces reached out to the intelligence organization, but this did not mean that they betrayed the royal family. As long as their interests are not involved, this intelligence organization can still be used normally.

With this in mind, Franz was relieved that there might be conflicts of interest on other issues, but when it came to suppressing the rebellion, the great nobles of Vienna were definitely standing with the emperor.

As for the bourgeoisie, it wasn't Franz who despised them. In this age, they are not qualified to penetrate into them. You must know that most members of the intelligence organizations are nobles.

Otherwise, if we do n’t give funding for more than ten years, people will dissolve long ago, and we still have a hair left?

These nobles are scattered all over the country. Through their royal family, they can easily collect domestic intelligence, and even most of them do not have to pay wages.

The intelligence organization of the Habsburgs is not Jin Yiwei. It has no law enforcement power except for collecting ordinary intelligence.

The European nobles were divided, and the emperor had no right to ask questions. Moreover, these materials were provided by them themselves. They did not want the emperor to know, so they were hidden.

After hesitating again and again, Franz decided to take this organization first, and then the bad intelligence organization was better than nothing, at least the local rebellion broke out, and he could receive the news as soon as possible.

Moreover, poor people like him can only afford such intelligence organizations.
