War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

At first, when Franz heard that Frei Holoser had burned himself to death, the former was still thinking about how to avenge the burning of his ancestral land, and whether he could avenge it.

As a result, when he saw the latter, Franz was shocked. Frey Holosa's clothes were all intact, not to mention burns, which were not even considered burns.

He escaped because he was too hot and was caught by people watching the excitement outside. There were two bruises on his face that may have been caused by being beaten at that time.

Colonel Monta, who was accompanying him, felt that torture should be used. Burning someone's ancestral home is a very serious sin in any region or culture. This is a very serious provocation and humiliation.

"We will plant him in front of the Eagle Castle and let the eagles on the Alps deal with him. This will just serve as a warning to those potential enemies, telling them that there is a price to pay for challenging the empire and the family."

Colonel Monta fought one battle along the way, killing an assassin who only had a dagger.

At this time, he was eager to express himself, and if the matter of burning the ancestral home was done to ordinary nobles, it would be a matter of life and death. Colonel Monta felt that Franz must feel the same way and hoped to use the most cruel way to attack the enemy.

However, Colonel Bordeaux, the attendant at the side, felt that Franz would not be so reckless based on the way he usually handled things.

"As the leader of the rebels, Frey Holosa must be as full of sins as the Swiss magistrates we encountered before. We may be able to hand over this right to the people as usual and try him before his death. It was done before in Poland.

However, for the sake of safety, this kind of heinous person is often very powerful in the local area. In order to prevent secondary harm to the people, I propose to cut off his tongue or put a cage on him so that he cannot hurt him with bad words. people'. "

Franz touched his chin. He was surprised that Bordeaux could say such a thing. It seemed that he was really making progress.

As for Colonel Monta's emotions, it was difficult for Franz to empathize with them, and his approach was too ill-considered. It feels good to torture yourself, but what will historians and the media say?

The prosperity of Austria's powerful Habsburg family is naturally not a big problem, and it is even said to be a brave and bloody representative, but what about when it goes downhill or encounters setbacks?

I'm afraid those people who are praising me at this time will just jump out and add insult to injury.

Bordeaux's method is good, and Franz has done it before. The purpose can be achieved and the pot can be thrown out.

But the situation we face at this time is different. If someone bullies you and you still don't have any emotions, you won't be regarded as incomprehensible, but just as a joke after dinner.

But Franz still won't deal with him personally, because there is a more efficient way to deal with it.

In fact, Franz had another person in his hands, and that was former President Joseph Loy. This man was sent by the French.

Joseph Loy and Frey Holoser are really brothers in need. The latter attempted self-immolation, while the former betrayed his country and successfully ran away.

Louis Philippe most likely did not want to pay the 20 million francs, and at the same time he had the intention to show goodwill to the Austrian side. After all, the power of both parties had reversed at that time.

In fact, the French had another meaning in doing this, that is, they hoped to get rid of Joseph Loy with the help of the Austrian Empire.

The advantage of doing this is that you don't have to bear the infamy, which makes it easier for you to wash away your image as an aggressor and make France look more like a protector.

This move is indeed powerful. If Austria directly executes Joseph Loy, Austria will look happy, but in the eyes of Joseph Loy's supporters and ordinary Swiss people who don't know the truth, it will be completely opposite.

But if Joseph Loy is not executed or if his punishment is too light, it will cause endless disasters and give people an image of weakness.

This dilemma is exactly what the French want to see, but Franz does not intend to wander in the opponent's thinking trap.

Joseph Loy, a failed patriot, had only been captured for more than ten days, and his blond hair was already gray.

"Hello, Mr. Joseph Loy."

Franz said very politely.

Joseph Roy smiled and looked at Franz.

"Are you the Archduke who will inherit the Austrian throne? Is our Swiss threat to you that great? The Habsburg family actually sent two Archduke.

Right! We in Switzerland lost this battle with you. Ha ha! Just this one time we lost everything!

But I have to admit that Archduke Karl is really powerful. He defeated our army of 200,000 with only 40,000 people.

It would be great if we also had a Napoleon in Switzerland, maybe we could fight as far as Vienna. "

Joseph Roy was talking to himself. In fact, he wanted to take the initiative in speaking, but Franz had no other purpose for his trip, so he just followed him.

"In fact, strictly speaking, your soldiers cannot be called soldiers at all. The fighting between the two sides is still stuck in the last century.

The attrition due to other reasons is at least three times that of the battle. It makes sense that Grandpa Carl can defeat you.

As for whether there is a Napoleon in Switzerland, I don’t know, but General Dufour is a respectable man. If the opponent is replaced by Constantin Sigwalt and Ulrich Salis, he will End the war before the European countries become active. "

Historically, Dufour ended the war in 27 days, at a cost of only 78 killed and 260 injured.

Joseph Loy laughed.

"Indeed! Those two idiots Constantine and Ulrich are actually afraid that I will break my promise and kill them. What's the use of me killing two pigs? Haha!

But don’t worry! We Switzerland will not perish! The Shinra of those days couldn't defeat us! Even Napoleon can't defeat us! It is even more impossible for Austria to defeat us!

You Austrians are indeed fierce jackals, but don’t forget that there is a lion beside you. Now that Switzerland is gone, hungry lions will tear you apart sooner or later!

By then we, Switzerland, will be able to become a nation again! France and Austria, you will pay a bloody price for today's greed! "

"You're a really good politician, but everything you can think of can be thought of by others."

As Franz spoke, he took out a prepared strategic distribution map. Joseph Loy stared at the colorful new map of Switzerland for a long time and was speechless.

"Are you Austrians going to war just because of that piece of ancestral land? Just say that we can discuss it!"

Franz shook his head.

"Most of those who died were people loyal to the Swiss Confederation or people who were forced to be loyal to the Swiss Confederation."

Joseph Loy was speechless for a moment. Franz was right. This was a civil war in Switzerland, and of course the people who died were Swiss.

He thought for a long time and spoke again.

"I said I am a patriot, do you believe me?"
