Chapter 534 Trivial

Things are often two-sided. The agricultural crisis has caused prices of agricultural products to plummet, making life difficult for farmers and improving for workers.

The lower cost of living directly stimulated industrial development. Labor conflicts have decreased, and the most typical example is that the number of public demonstrations in Paris has decreased by one-fifth compared with the same period last year.

In this respect, the mainstream of the world has already completed the transition from agriculture to industry, and the major European powers have developed with industry as the core.

Affected by the butterfly effect, the domestic market of the United States has shrunk sharply after the division. It did not rush to the front in this industrial revolution, and the birthplace of the second industrial revolution continued to remain in Europe.

The first industrial revolution broke out in Austria. With Vienna's never-sleep city as a symbol, it opened the prelude to the era of human electricity.

Electricity has spread faster than imagined, and since Vienna was the first, Paris and London have followed suit.

Although it is irrational and blindly following the trend without considering the actual situation, it plays a vital role in promoting the development of electric power technology.

After the completion of the urban lighting network in London and Paris, electric technology has become a symbol of urban modernization. The difference between a big city and a small city can be concluded by looking at the street lights in the urban area.

Power stations rise from the ground around the city, rows of wires have become symbols of civilization, and the thick black smoke tells the glory of the industrial age.

In Vienna Palace, Franz is hunting with his family. I have to say that Archduke Karl's proposal is still constructive, and it is indeed a lot more convenient to put the hunting ground in his own home.

In terms of area, Vienna Palace is already the largest palace in the world. Of course, if the floor area is calculated, the Vienna Palace is still just a little brother.

Franz is not an extravagant emperor and will not build huge palace complexes. Vienna is the private domain of the Habsburg family, most of the land is royal, and the cost of expanding the area of ​​the palace is not high.

After the expansion of the palace, the difficulty of defending will naturally increase, and the Royal Guard will naturally expand accordingly. Franz would not admit that this was to expand private arming, despite the fact that it was.

These are all minor issues. The Royal Guard is entirely up to the emperor and has nothing to do with the government. In theory, it can be expanded to one million.

Obviously, this is not possible, Franz is not yet that wealthy. Although he is the emperor with a commission, the royal annuity has already topped the European continent.

By frugality, Franz expanded the Royal Guard to a division. This is the last guarantee. Having private armed forces is the greatest guarantee of the emperor's rights. At least he can launch an armed coup at any time.

In this respect, the Viennese government was dangerous and had a moment to watch out for their emperor. If he accidentally crossed the thunder pool, the emperor could overturn the table at any time.

This is the lesson brought by the Vienna Revolution. Franz quietly strengthened his control over the army, especially the capital army.

Any attempt by any political force to penetrate the army will have disastrous consequences. Austria, which seems to be peaceful, is also full of swords and swords.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

After a series of gunshots, only one bullet casing remained. Franz's marksmanship is still so stable, even though the prey has exceeded 200 meters, there are still no false shots, and the shots hit the target.

Franz was not at all annoyed that he missed his prey. As an emperor who cherished life, he could not bear to kill, so he spared his prey generously.

This explanation, at the beginning, there are still a few little ones who will believe it, and the little guys still look up to it. Not to mention as we get older.

This is nothing, the vast majority of recruits on the battlefield are at this level. Able to accurately hit the enemy at a distance of 200 meters, in addition to sharpshooters, is a lucky player.

It can ensure effective killing of moving targets within 200 meters, and that is the elite division. This is the problem with the gun, the recoil is too high and the bullets are easy to be cheap.

In the current state of the art, there is no solution to this problem. A little less recoil and the cost goes up.

Looking at Massimiliano who was motionless, Archduke Carl stepped up and slapped him on the head: "Maximiliano, don't have a dead face, you must be energetic when you go out hunting.

You have to learn this from Franz. Every time he comes out empty-handed, he is equally happy. "

The older he gets, the more willful Archduke Karl is, and now even the Queen Mother Sophie has a hard time restraining him. If it is not pleasing to the eye, you can slap it up.

Franz knew that if he didn't intervene, Massimiliano would be beaten again. It's not that he hates that iron cannot become steel. In fact, Archduke Carl has no expectations for Maximilian, he just doesn't want to watch his precious son sink.

After hesitating for a moment, Franz decided to ignore it. If you are beaten, you will be beaten. I educate my son, and no one can interfere. As a child, Massimiliano was never beaten, and now it's just right to make up for it.

Since being forcibly escorted back to China, Massimiliano has fallen into a state of autism, shouting every day that he wants to go back to Mexico. After the doctor confirmed that there was no mental illness, it was just a mental problem.

In order to let him get rid of the shadow in his heart, the Queen Mother Sophie tried many ways, but it didn't work. In the end it was violence that worked, and the pain awakened the self-paralyzed Massimiliano.

Franz has no doubts about Karl's lesson on Massimiliano. He was a favorite when he was a child, and now he naturally needs to make up for it, but why bring him?

Those brilliant achievements, Franz has always avoided talking about

. Today is different from the past, and there are still a bunch of little guys watching.

In the end, Franz still didn't have the courage to defend himself. In the face of the facts, any justification seemed pale.

Franz does not reject the younger brother Massimiliano. Except for the more serious idealism, Massimiliano is still very good, much stronger than those careerists.

Even idealism can be used as a negative teaching material. If nothing else, in the next few hundred years, there will be his legendary stories within the Habsburg family to educate the next generation as a warning.

Looking at the second son of joy, Franz glared at him, as if to say, "What are you laughing at, are you itchy?"

Feeling Franz's murderous gaze, little Peter immediately covered his mouth with his little hand. Based on his experience over the years, it can be judged that if it continues, the thickness of the workbook will increase again.

Franz is reasonable and usually doesn't beat people. The most common way of punishment is to assign homework, with a special teacher watching, when it is completed, when can you go out to play.

Such punishment is more lethal than being beaten. The "pain" of being beaten is nothing more than a short period of time. It is personal and reluctant to do it hard; if the amount of homework is increased, it may last for a long time. Peter has personally experienced the pain of rushing homework for a month.

The man is on one side, and the woman is on the other. Hunting such a bloody thing, usually they can do it, if it disturbs the female family, it will be bad.

Franz didn't speak, and the other two younger brothers didn't dare to come forward. When Archduke Karl went into a rage, with the exception of Emperor Franz, their brothers could often be beaten together. The two were far away on the horse, and gave Massimiliano a helpless expression.

Seemingly stimulated, Massimiliano almost fell off his horse, grabbed the reins, and replied in a panic, "I see."

The best medicine for heart disease is time. Franz nodded with satisfaction without hearing the brain-damaged slogans of "I want to go back to Mexico" and "Mexican people need me".

Recently, Franz was also heartbroken around Massimiliano's condition. It is not easy to be an emperor, and the number of inferior products of the Habsburg family is somewhat large.

This is still the result of his strong pressure, otherwise there will be another gay brother, I really don't know how to educate. Franz is very suspicious that there is something wrong with the education received by the brothers in the original time and space.

Facts have proved that acquired education can change a person. Massimiliano was too close in age. Before Franz came to the throne, he was already an idealist and could not be pulled back.

The other two minors were different. Under his intervention, they received strict aristocratic education. No special talent has been discovered, but the overall ability is still higher than the average level of the noble children, and it is also a high-level elite in society.

The main job at present is to be responsible for the Habsburg family's external exchanges and reception, or to build a good relationship with the European royal family. Where there are weddings, funerals, and marriages, all they need to come forward are them to entertain.

Overall, Franz was satisfied. There were no major flaws in this work, which lightened part of his workload and didn't need to worry about these little things.

As long as they don't die, any member of the royal family has a role. Including the failed Massimiliano, he was also the link between the Habsburgs and the Belgian royal family.

"Your Majesty, the Queen asked you to come over."

Franz nodded: "Got it, tell the queen we'll be there soon."

Looking at Duke Karl's stern face, Franz rode forward: "Okay, father, it's almost time, maybe it's time for dinner."

Archduke Karl's anger came and went quickly. After listening to Franz's words, he nodded, and then slapped Massimiliano: "What are you looking at, let's go!"

...

Looking at the laughing hostess, Franz asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, so happy."

Queen Helen smiled slightly: "Charlotte is pregnant."

Everyone showed joy, and even Massimiliano's unchanging face showed a smile.

Timing is always a good thing, especially for royalty. The impact of the butterfly effect is huge. Massimiliano I, who received the box lunch early in the original time and space, naturally has no descendants. Now that he has lived a few more years, the situation has changed.

It is normal to think about it. Princess Charlotte is not very old. She was only 27 when the original time and space Massimiliano died, and now she is in her thirties.

In this era, it can be regarded as an elderly mother, but the problem is not too big. Massimiliano I is still alive, so Princess Charlotte is naturally not crazy, and she has always been in good health.

This news has little impact on Austria. Unless Queen Helen is pregnant, the people don't have the heart to care so much.

But in Mexico, thousands of miles away, the situation is different. You must know that although Massimiliano I returned home in a daze, he did not announce his abdication.

Shortly after the Austrian army withdrew, a civil war broke out in Mexico. All sides were killed with blood, and there was no time to consider whether the bereaved emperor had abdicated.

Seeing that Massimiliano was in a bad state, naturally no one in the Habsburg family would stimulate him, and the issue of abdication was shelved.

Now the child in Charlotte's womb, if it's a boy, is the legal heir to the Mexican throne. The crown prince established by Massimiliano I in the past is actually not legal enough.

Franz stopped thinking about it, it didn't matter. Who dares to go to that mess in Mexico

Jump into the fire pit!
