Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Colonel Bordeaux, who had been beaten into a pig's head in Franz's study, said vaguely.

"I'm sorry, Miss Adjani. But your ID is really fake.."

Adjani raised her hand again, scaring Bordeaux and quickly hid aside.

"Mr. Bordeaux, go to the infirmary for treatment first. Remember to close the door when you go out." Franz said.

"How can this be done? I am your attendant, and my duty is to be responsible for your safety!" Colonel Bordeaux covered his face and said vaguely.

Franz was a little speechless about the new attendant, or the head of the guard.

"Mr. Bordeaux, Miss Adjani and I have something to talk about, please go out."

This time, Principal Bohr understood. He immediately turned and went out, and poked his head back as soon as he went out.

"Grand Duke Franz, Miss Adjani is very dangerous, she will..."

Adjani closed the door heavily and let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that your new colleague has troubled you." Franz teased.

"It seems that your new attendant doesn't understand what you mean?" Adjani retorted.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What's the public opinion outside now?" Franz asked.

"Don't you read newspapers?" Adjani asked back.

"That kind of thing is castrated and castrated, so you don't need to look at it." Franz replied.

"It's much more serious than imagined. Not only the military supports it, but the streets and alleys of the city are talking about going to war. Many people are planning to join the army after Christmas, or sign up as conscripts. Weapon shops have been emptied. There are also many Germans who came to Vienna from other countries, preparing to join the army here to fight in Luxembourg..."

"What about the rest of the empire?"

"Except for St. Stephen's crown territory, they are actively preparing for war, and the Hungarians are also recruiting. However, there are rumors that they have been bought by the French and are planning to attack Vienna from behind when the war begins.

The garrison at Pressburg had been increased to 80,000 in case of a possible crisis. Marshal Radetzky of Northern Italy blocked the mountain passes leading to Switzerland and concentrated his troops on the border between Lombardy and Sardinia..."

As a Pole, Adjani was not surprised by the behavior of the Hungarians. On the contrary, she felt a little bit of her hometown.

"Old Mr. Courdrey really gave a great gift to the entire German Confederation."

Franz said with emotion that he really didn't expect that a small country and a group of small people could actually do such a big thing.

At this time, people in the German region are surging, and other nations in the Austrian Empire also feel that this is a good opportunity to prove themselves. Whether they are loyal to the Empire or want to fight against the Empire, in short, everyone hopes to fight.

In fact, the Regent Council did not support the war. Prince Metternich and Count Kororav rarely agreed. They both felt that this was not the time to launch a war. Instead, they should continue to hide their strengths and bide their time.

The military gave its own opinion. According to Earl Tural's estimation, Austria does not need too many troops to take over the Netherlands.

First of all, neither the Netherlands nor Belgium has a large number of standing troops, and most of the fortresses are in disrepair for many years. The navies that the two countries are proud of are no threat to the Austrian army. Guides, probably only need 30,000 to 40,000 troops and two months.

The Dutch will surrender as long as the soldiers approach the city. The Belgians themselves are descendants of the Austrian Netherlands, and they should not choose to fight to the death with Austria.

And this time it is sending troops in the name of the German Confederation, and all states will send troops and provide us with supplies, so the Austrian Empire only needs to send 20,000 troops.

Unlike the optimism of the military, Prince Metternich expressed his concerns.

"This is a completely unplanned move. The Netherlands and Belgium are behind Britain and France. It is tantamount to suicide to fight two powers at the same time.

Do you think it costs money to fight with fewer troops? Now what about Austria's overseas trade and those colonies? If the other side blocks the Adriatic Sea, who will bear these losses?

Do you know how many people died in Austria during the Napoleonic Wars? 550,000 people! Have you forgotten the lesson of blood? Better a mediocre peace than a glorious war. This is the prophecy left by Queen Teresa! "

Count Korolov also fit the bill.

"Yes, this is a pointless war at all. First of all, Luxembourg belongs to Prussia, even if we liberate it, it will also belong to Prussia.

Secondly, can you rest assured that the logistics of our army is handed over to those fools? "

It is obvious that Earl Korolaf doesn't trust those vassal states at all, and he doesn't agree with this so-called Confederate War.

The two princes of the royal family supported the war according to the instructions of the former emperor, and there was no reason.

Grand Duke Louis felt that the Luxembourgers were quite pitiful, and the old Courdrey had already deposited 120 million florins in the Bank of Frankfurt.

Death is the most important thing, and this war can be regarded as a war of comfort.

After the meeting, the elder Courdrey suffered a heart attack due to excessive excitement and died at the age of 83.

Even more absurd than this is Archduke Franz Karl ~www.novelbuddy.com~ who is teasing the hyena seal brought back from the Arctic and doesn't want to explain why he agreed to the war.

Despite their cute looks, the hyena seal is also a 70kg beast. When Prince Metternich tried to persuade the grand duke to talk about business, the hyena seal uttered a sharp cry, and then slapped itself on the stomach.

This weird creature frightened His Royal Highness, but made everyone laugh. After all, seals are quite cute in appearance.

At this time, Earl Tural gave his opinion.

"His Royal Highness, look at the beast in the arms of the Grand Duke. Does it sound like someone is beating a war drum? This is the will of God, the destiny of Austria."

"This stupid war must be stopped, which could lead to the destruction of the whole country," said Prince Metternich stubbornly.

"Indeed, it will ruin the peace in Europe. We need peace now. As long as we are given another 20 years, there must be other ways to solve the problem." Earl Korolov said desperately.

"His Royal Highness, look out the window." Count Tural walked to the window, opened the window and drew the curtains.

The glare of the sun shone into the house, followed by the "public opinion" like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Get rid of the Dutch dog!"

"Down with Belgium!"

"Liberate Luxembourg!"

....

The people took to the streets and shouted "war". Austria has not fought a war for a long time, and many people don't know the horror of war. At this time, Great German ideology, nationalism, and patriotic education of loyalty and patriotism converged into a torrent.

The turbulent public opinion gathered into an irresistible torrent, and Metternich even suspected that if he opposed supporting Luxembourg now, the tragedy of the French riots would immediately repeat itself.

On the part of the Austrian Empire, the French Revolution was called a riot or insurrection.
