War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

However, it was difficult to guard against domestic thieves day and night. Several slave workers who had worked for Yasusky for decades attacked Vihliu, causing his left hand to be injured.

Now Franz brought five thousand people to the Yasusky Manor. If he said that he had no idea about the Yasusky family's territory and property, Vihliu Yasusky didn't believe it at all.

Thinking of this, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and the tableware almost fell to the ground.

"this"

Vihliu Yasusky glanced at Colonel Bordeaux subconsciously, swallowed his saliva and said when he found that the other person was staring at him.

"I think they are a group of hopeless traitors who have completely let down the kindness of the Habsburg family. I am willing to contribute 200,000 florins to help the empire put down the rebellion!"

Wihliu Yasuski scolded the Polish Restoration Army and the rebellious nobles with his impassioned speech, and repeatedly drew a clear line between himself and them. Finally, he took out a military resource Preparation shows determination.

Franz didn't know how many times he had heard these words along the way. Of course, some people had true thoughts, while others were trying to draw a line between them, but Vihliu Yasusky was different.

A carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and left the Jasuski Manor at night, and Krakow received a letter with almost the same content three days ago.

The letter contains detailed movements, personnel and weapons configuration of the Austrian army, and even logistics information.

Bem, who had just been released, was so surprised that he could hardly open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw this information, because hundreds of siege guns could completely level the entire city of Krakow.

The long-barreled sixteen-pound cannons of the Polish Restoration Army could not solve any problem at all. Coupled with the number of nearly 300,000 troops, Bem had no chance of winning.

The Polish Nationalist Army mobilized several times in Krakow, but there were more deserters than recruited recruits. If this rate of development continues, the Polish army will be gone in less than two months without the Austrian army taking action.

However, Wihliu Yasuski's letter still brought a glimmer of hope, which was definitely good news for Krakow, Poland's last hope.

The Crown Prince of the Austrian Empire, Grand Justice Franz Joseph, was a guest at Yasusky's manor. The distance between the two places could theoretically be reached within ten days by a rapid march.

Franz's identity as crown prince was announced on his birthday. This was considered a birthday gift from the family to Franz.

No one in the family objected to this matter, and Queen Anna's influence was negligible at this time.

Ferdinand I was very willing to leave the palace and go to the countryside to retire, because in the Hofburg Palace he was the emperor in name no matter what, and he had to listen to the ministers arguing with each other whether he wanted to or not.

He also has to agree to a lot of things that he has no idea or understanding of. Being a puppet is boring, especially without personal freedom.

Archduke Franz Karl was forced by Mrs. Sophie to sign the abdication agreement. Although he was somewhat reluctant, no one wanted him to succeed, let alone anyone to help him, because the entire Austrian Empire was calling. A king who made a difference.

At this time, the international status of the Austrian Empire was very high, but most people felt that it could be higher. Officials, nobles, and the army all felt that the country was very strong at this time and it was time to make contributions.

Nationalists are looking forward to the clarion call for reunification. Although there are gaps between various ethnic groups, the overall trend remains unchanged.

The church was one of Franz's bases. Archbishop Rauscher spared no effort in touting it, which raised the public's expectations.

The advantage is that this will provide Franz with very broad support. The disadvantage is that once it fails or makes people feel that it is not worthy of the name, there will be a huge psychological gap, thus intensifying social conflicts.

Franz brought five thousand cavalry to Yasusky's manor, but due to the large number of people, he had to withdraw two thousand people.

So at this time, he was only protected by 3,000 cavalry. Tisovsky and Dembovsky had a bold idea.

Tisovsky and Dembovsky were the actual people in power in Krakow at this time. Because Landry Promy disappeared mysteriously, he could only be temporarily replaced by others.

Tisovsky and Dembovsky were chosen by everyone. Their abilities are unknown, but at least they were able to reunite the scattered restorers.

Tisovsky: "General Behm, can you lead an army to capture Franz Joseph alive?"

Dembovsky: "Even if you die, it will also dampen the morale of the Austrians. At least everyone's blood will not be shed in vain. We can tell the world that Poland exists."

Tisovsky wanted to capture Franz and negotiate terms, while Dembovsky wanted to fight to the death. However, Bem was in a dilemma because the two places were too far apart and there were too many variables in ten days. This kind of military adventure was almost impossible to succeed.

Bem sighed: "Two secretaries of state, I don't think this plan is actually feasible."

This is so hurtful. After all, everyone released Bem in the hope that he would bring miracles. In the past few days, Bem has almost denied the feasibility of all plans of the Polish restorers.

In fact, this is also a kind of helplessness, because it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. At this time, Krakow is not enough to compete with the Austrian Empire in terms of military strength, weapons, and materials.

Tisovsky was a little angry: "General Bem, can you defeat the Austrians?"

"I can not."

"Then can you defend Krakow?"

"I'm not sure either."

"Then what are you thinking about?! We are desperate now and there is still hope. The other party only has 3,000 people, and we have 30,000."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Fight!"

"Yes! I can't defend it anyway, so why not give it a try!"

Tisovsky's words immediately aroused a response. To be honest, the feeling of waiting to die is the most uncomfortable. Nestled in the city of Krakow, he may be crushed by the arriving Austrian army at any time, but he is powerless. .

At this time, they finally found an outlet, and this only hope immediately aroused everyone's remaining bloody spirit.

Bem never looks at people's faces, he only talks about what he knows.

"The troops around Franz Joseph must be the elite of the Austrian army, and combat strength cannot be judged by pure numbers."

Tisovsky: "Do you think we Poles are inferior to the Germans? How can we lose even if we fight one out of ten?"

"Yes! Mr. Tisovsky is right! We are fighting the elite!"

"What elites? The cavalry is strong in mobility. Do the Austrians still dare to use one-tenth of their troops to fight a counterattack?"

"Even if the cavalry dismounts, it is worse than the infantry!"

"Besides, Vihliu Yasuski is a patriot. As long as he cooperates with us inside and outside, we will definitely be able to kill all the Austrians. Then we will use that bullshit Archduke as a bargaining chip!"

"right!"

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

The crowd's voices soon overpowered the voice of General Bem, who wanted to say, "It will be good if half of the troops are left when we reach Dorobiki."
