Chapter 792: Very low expectations (1/2)
In the Palace of Vienna, Franz is playing with his grandson, who is several months old.
Recently, Britain, France, and Russia are very busy. Everything is operating normally in the country, and Franz who is idle can only toss the little ones.
A cry of ”wowa” sounded, making Franz messy.
At this moment a maid hurriedly rushed and said eagerly: ”Sir, just now the news came from outside the palace. Prime Minister Felix fainted as soon as he went out today and is currently in the process of rescue.”
Hearing this bad news, Franz could no longer afford the crying grandson, and passed the little Charlie directly to the maid.
Commanded: ”Get the car right now, I'm going out of the house!”
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
Since the age of the Revolution, Felix has been the Prime Minister of Austria. The two have cooperated closely for more than three decades and pulled the Habsburgs who fell into **** from the edge of death.
In terms of merit, Felix can be said to be the first contributor to the revival of the Habsburgs.
Felix Schwarzenberg, born in 1800, is now 85 years old, which is more than double the life expectancy of this era.
Thinking of this, Franz's heart sank suddenly.
Years are not forgiving, even if he is already an emperor, he can only watch the people around him leave one by one, and there is nothing he can do.
The 85-year-old is not to say now, even in the 21st century, once such an age falls ill, it is difficult to recover.
...
As the Prime Minister of Austria, Felix naturally has a personal doctor at his service, and even a variety of medical equipment is always available at home.
Mainly this year, there are not many medical devices. If there are a lot of instruments like the 21st century, you can't keep them.
Everything is readily available, and treatment is naturally performed directly at home. When Franz arrived, the medical experts in Vienna were almost there.
There was also a large group of nobles from Vienna, but rather few government colleagues. There is no way this is a rule. Now it is working time. Even without the Prime Minister, the government still needs to operate normally.
No one was surprised to see Franz coming in person. Almost every serious minister was in critical condition, and he had to visit in person.
In the face of the unconscious Prime Minister Felix, Franz swallowed his words and waited quietly outside the ward.
Entertainment is non-existent, and Franz is annoyed. Where can there be so much attention.
Seeing the emperor's somber expression, everyone knew that at this time, they were definitely scolding.
Time passed minute by minute, and the weather had gradually darkened, the head guard reminded: ”Your Majesty, it's late, it's time to return to the palace.”
Franz nodded, watching a large group of nobles and officials outside, waving his hand and commanding: ”Let's go!”
At this moment, Franz reacted, because the emperor's stay, others could only wait.
Back in the palace with a depressed mood, Franz knew that a new round of political reshuffle was about to begin.
Even if Prime Minister Felix's current physical condition recovers, it will be difficult to continue to be competent as Prime Minister.
Not only is the Prime Minister older, but many of the top government officials are already in their 70s. Unconsciously, the Vienna government has also entered an old age.
Lying on the bed, Franz couldn't help but think that it would be nice to be able to pursue longevity if he passed through an era of resuscitation.
Over time, Franz turned on fantasy mode in his dreams.
...
Egypt. After repeated urging by Napoleon IV, the rebel army of Governor Adolf finally completed the assembly in Cairo.
One French infantry division + two Egyptian colonial divisions + one cavalry battalion is the entire composition of the rebel army.
Without an artillery regiment, suppressing the colonial rebellion is redundant, and the field artillery carried by the infantry division is sufficient.
This year the leading artillery was a high-tech arm, and it was not able to shoot out the shells. Even the artillery, the hit rate was the key.
Even if Britain and Austria were willing to provide artillery, the rebels could not find a gunner who could operate.
On a sunny day, Governor Adolf led a large army of 36,000 peace rebels and set off from Cairo.
In the face of the menacing French, the rebellion has fallen into panic. France's number one army in the world is too famous, and some people within the rebels have shaken as the battle begins.
Mahdi convened several mobilization meetings to boost morale, but still had little effect.
