Struggle in Russia

Wendisch Gretz hates betraying national interests. In his opinion, the interests of Austria come first. As the most sacred and greatest country, Austria should be the core of the world and the leader of the world.

And now they want to bow their heads to the barbarian Russia in the north, how can this be tolerated? Especially the interests of Wallachia and Moldavia, which have been the focus of the empire for hundreds of years, are now going to be handed over to Russia. How is this possible?

Wendisch Gretz felt that a small amount of revolutionaries making troubles was a disease of scabies. As long as they were resolute and ruthless, there would be no revolutionaries that could not be solved. Just like his bloodbath all the way, wouldn't Prague return to normal order?

Wendisch Gretz is not only dissatisfied with the betrayal of the interests of Wallachia and Moldavia, but also dissatisfied with the attitude of the high-level government towards the revolutionaries-why negotiate with these traitors who are messing up the country? Why agree to their conditions, what kind of shit constitution, there is no such thing!

According to Wendisch Gretz, it is enough to directly raise the butcher's knife to kill the revolutionaries, kill two if it is not enough to kill one, kill a hundred if it is not enough to kill one pair, and kill one if it is not enough to kill a hundred. Thousands and ten thousand, in short, we want to use iron and blood policy to kill them all, to kill them until they are timid, and to kill them until they dare not do anything wrong again.

So after receiving Schwarzenberg's letter, Wendisch Gretz wrote a reply full of reprimands, in which he said:

"Dear Felix, I received your letter. I have made it very clear in the last letter about those chaotic parties. Only by killing them can everything end and normal order can be restored... But you Some people in Vienna and Vienna chose to make concessions to them, this is absolutely impossible to tolerate, you are negotiating with Satan, and you will surely fall into the abyss of hell!"

"...The only way to solve the problem now is iron and blood, which is to resolutely and decisively eliminate all rebellious parties, behead them, hang them or shoot them directly. There is no room for them to survive in Austria! Only decisiveness and an iron fist can bring our motherland back to normal. Except Everything else is useless!"

"...No one understands these chaotic parties better than I. Their desires will never be exhausted, and their demands will increase until they destroy all the rules of justice we know!"

"...so from the very beginning, we should not negotiate, but fight. You have to fight like me, like a real soldier, and then you will find that solving this turmoil is very simple!"

"... As for the Russians, these damned northern barbarians are no better than our domestic rebels, and I have seen their conditions, which are completely unacceptable. Great Austria can do without the aid of the Russians. Solve the problem, and never let the Russians get involved in our sphere of influence!"

"……otherwise,

We, Austria, will become the laughing stock of the world, and what is even more frightening is that these greedy polar bears will do whatever they want more and more, which will inevitably affect our interests in the Balkans in the end! This will never be tolerated! "

"...Dear Felix, you must turn back to the right path. I look forward to reuniting with you as soon as possible and fighting side by side as soon as possible! Love you Alfred..."

When Wendisch Gretz wrote this letter, it can be said that he was full of arrogance. The tone of the whole article was questioning, accusing and teaching, and it was completely condescending. Of course, he also has this kind of capital at this time, because under his leadership, the revolutionary movement in Prague has been basically suppressed, and he is gathering his troops and preparing to move south.

Probably in Wendisch Gretz's view, as soon as his army arrives, it will be a piece of cake to regain Vienna, kill all the rebels and arrest Blum and Meissenhauer. At that time, he will be the great hero to rebuild Austria, and others, including his brother-in-law Schwarzenberg, can only bow to him.

The high-spirited Wendisch Gretz soon began to march south, but the reality was far worse than he expected. Although his troops were invincible all the way and wiped out all the revolutionaries blocking the way, the losses were far greater than he expected Much bigger.

Although he himself doesn't think there is any major problem for the time being, his subordinates have gradually felt that it is a bit too much. On the one hand, the huge consumption of marching for days, and on the other hand, the revolutionaries who can't be killed. The revolutionaries who are not afraid of death are not afraid of death at all, and one after another they went forward to fight them desperately.

Even if they used cannons and bayonets to level the road again and again, the massacres day after day can still make people numb and sick. This kind of blood will consume the morale of Wendisch Gretz's troops. By the time he finally reached the outskirts of Vienna, his troops had reached a breaking point, and that's when he finally met Schwarzenberg.

"Felix, how is the situation in the city? Where are His Majesty and the Crown Prince?"

Just meeting Wendisch Gretz, he couldn't wait to ask the two questions he was most eager to know the answer to.

Schwarzenberg can somewhat understand his thoughts. From the last letter, he knew that this brother-in-law is impossible to negotiate with the Revolutionary Party. There must be a bloody battle in Vienna, but he doesn't know much about the Revolutionary Party himself. Favorable, and also powerless to stop the arrogant brother-in-law in front of him, let the two groups of people touch each other, only when both sides know that the other party is difficult to deal with may they return to their senses.

"The city is still in chaos. As for His Majesty and the Crown Prince, they are still taking refuge in Innsbruck..."

Schwarzenberg was interrupted by Wendisch Gretz before he finished speaking. The proud general asked dissatisfiedly, "Why haven't His Majesty and the Crown Prince come back yet? What can you do hiding in Innsbruck?" Do you want to watch the chaotic party destroy our country? How does this look like an emperor!"

Schwarzenberg glanced at Wendisch Gretz. In fact, he had noticed this brother-in-law's careful thinking in the previous correspondence. He hated the extremely incompetent Ferdinand I to the extreme. He felt that the reason why Austria The chaos was entirely due to the inability of the imbecile emperor to perform the duties of the emperor.

From bowing his head to the Revolutionary Party at the beginning, to dismissing Metternich from his post, and then fleeing to Innsbruck with his family, there is no trace of an emperor here, just like a bereaved dog!

Schwarzenberg knew that Wendisch Gretz, who was now in control of the army and had already approached the city of Vienna, might have moved the idea of ​​deposing the emperor, so he was so active in asking about the whereabouts of the emperor...
