Chapter 344： Rebellious psychology (1/2)
Is Massimilino capable?
The answer is: yes!
As long as it is not inherently inadequate, people who have been trained by the royal family will definitely be better than most ordinary people.
It's just that ability is often accompanied by pride, and this pride needs to be polished. Only after converging the sharp edge can it be truly exerted.
Massimilino has never encountered setbacks. With the love of Empress Sophie, his first half of his life was smooth, and he then developed an idealistic spearhead.
Idealism is the greatest enemy of the monarch. Once contaminated, the best ending is to become a rubber stamp. The poor can refer to the history of Massimilino.
Franz sneered and said, ”This is the plan you prepared? My stupid brother, is your head flooded?
Govern the country according to your plan, do you think that Mexico is not chaotic enough, add a fire to them, and then kill a bloodstream, and send your emperor to the guillotine? ”
This is not Franz's spurt, Massimilino's plan is indeed unreliable, and the core idea of governance is actually liberalism.
Can any country play liberalism? Franz did not dare to pursue liberalism in Austria, or any monarchy in the world.
Massimilino said dissatisfied, ”My brother, why do you say that my plan is not good?”
Franz did not answer this question directly, but asked: ”Very well, I have learned to question and have made progress.
Unfortunately, this is not enough.
Now that you have a plan for governing the country, what do you tell me about Mexico ’s biggest social conflict? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
There is also the distribution of resources in Mexico. Where is suitable for what industries? ”
It was dumbfounded by Massimiliano's turn. This country manages in a crude way, not the bureaucracy in charge, and everyone else usually knows nothing.
It is naturally impossible for Massimilino far from Vienna to have these detailed information. Franz provided him with only the basic domestic conditions, and even the Mexican government did not make detailed statistics.
But in Franz's view, these basic things must be mastered as an emperor, otherwise how to develop a development outline.
For example: To develop heavy industry and prepare to build a steel plant, because they don't know anything, let the bureaucrats choose the location at will, and finally find that the raw materials are thousands of miles away.
After hesitating for a moment, Massimilino frowned and replied: ”The main contradiction in Mexico is the conflict between reformers and conservatives, and the conflict between republicans and constitutionalists.
As long as the problems of the political system are handled properly, these contradictions can be resolved. The latter question is too complicated, and I refuse to answer. ”
Franz rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: ”It seems my stupid brother, you are really stupid.
The system exists because of people, and people who have problems are always people, not systems. As long as people's problems are solved, they are not problems.
There is no right or wrong in front of interests. As a qualified emperor, you don't need to distinguish so clearly.
You just have to figure out which ones are yours, which are the neutrals, and which are the enemies.
They can be reused by their own people, and neutrals can be used together. The enemy only needs to kill them, and it's as simple as that.
Mexico's fundamental social contradictions are interests, conflicts of interest among various classes, and conflicts of interest among different peoples.
Only when the interest chain is clarified, the problem is fundamentally resolved, and other contradictions and conflicts are easy to handle. If you can't solve the problem, then the person who made the problem.
This is only the basic condition for a stable throne. In the end, it depends on the development of the country. At least you have to feed the people.
Having said so much, do you still think that I am not asking too much? ”
This is politics class, blackened emperor power. Prior to this, Franz had not taught Massimilino, and no one in the Habsburgs had been able to teach him.
After hearing Franz's words, Massimilino was shocked. He had no idea that Franz actually made such a remark and subverted his three views.
If, according to Franz, to secure the Mexican throne, the first thing to do is not to alleviate the contradictions, but to stimulate them and use a civil war to solve the problems.
Even thinking of the 1848 rebellion, the Vienna government took this opportunity to solve the Hungarian problem once and for all, incidentally it also resolved domestic social contradictions, promulgated a labor protection law, and abolished serfdom.
Massimilino understood a lot instantly, the more he understood, the harder it was to accept. Known as the brother of the greatest king of the Hapsburg dynasty for hundreds of years, he secretly did so many things.
What makes him unable to argue is that Franz succeeded, and the winner should not be blamed. From 1848 to the present, Austria's overall national strength has more than doubled.
The country has become stronger, people's lives have improved, and all walks of life have made remarkable progress.
Massimilino, who was hit, didn't know how he left, and his mind was echoing what Franz said, hovering between positive and negative.
Looking at the soulless husband, Princess Charlotte asked with concern: ”Why Massimilino, isn't it uncomfortable?”
The awakened Massimilino said listlessly: ”Charlotte, do you say I am not suitable for emperor?”
Princess Charlotte was taken aback. She wanted to be a queen too! In order to encourage Massimilino to agree to become emperor of Mexico, she spent a lot of effort. How long has it been before it has become like this pair.
Princess Charlotte didn't find it hard to be an emperor, just look at Franz. On average, I work three or four hours a day, and most of the time I study, read newspapers, drink tea, and bring children. Austria is still developing well.
”How come? You have to believe in yourself, you are the best!”
Massimilino shook his head and said, ”No, I may not really be an emperor. I don't even know the basic elements of an emperor.”
Princess Charlotte persuaded, ”What happened that hit you deeply? Isn't this what you know? Did a little frustration hit you?”
Massimilino calmed down and said, ”I just met my elder brother with the development plan for the future of Mexico. I hope to get his support.”
Charlotte asked uncertainly: ”He doesn't agree with you going to Mexico as emperor?”
You know, the Franz brothers have a very good relationship. Under normal circumstances, Massimilino would become emperor, and Franz would definitely support it.
This is one of the reasons why they dare to pick up that mess in Mexico. After all, Austria's tentacles have penetrated into Central America. All it takes is a telegram, and Austrian troops can come and provide them with military support.
Massimilino shook his head and said, ”No. He just told me some basic knowledge about being an emperor, and it shocked me a lot.”
Specific circumstances, Massimilino kept silent. He wants to lose face too, but he doesn't want his wife to know these bad things.
Upon hearing the news, Princess Charlotte was relieved. As long as the Emperor Franz does not object, it does not matter if the rest of the Hapsburg family objects.
When they arrived in Mexico, they could only support the Austrian army in Central America, which only required Franz's consent.
