Holy Roman Empire Chapter 3: Legendary Grand Duke Carl
After tiring his lips, Franz reluctantly persuades his mother and earns the right to set the time freely, but the class still has to be attended, but many cuts.
For example, Franz believes that religious, language, and art lessons have been compressed, if not for Sophie's insistence, he would have even reduced politics.
The main content is still a hundred years ago, for example: the aristocracy is the highest, the spirit of chivalry is sacred ...
Franz was most interested in the emperor's academy, only cut-out versions remained, and conspiracies and trickery could no longer be seen, leaving the king's rule.
For example, when the tiger emperor's body shook, he worshipped and lowered his head.
...
It trains emperors, not the people?
If an emperor was cultivated according to this standard, others would be added to the guillotine due to the complex situation in Austria.
It is now 1846. If nothing else, Franz would have inherited this ancient kingdom two years later, and there was not much time left for him now.
Joining the politics early?
This is clearly impossible. Anything that changes the entire historical situation will bring uncertainty into the future. Franz won't take any chances until he succeeds.
Of course, he didn't want to participate, how many 16-year-old little farts had a political voice?
Even Franz, the crown prince, could not change his age.
However, this does not deter him from doing anything, in most cases, it is much better to push the hand behind the scenes rather than charging directly in front of them.
For example, Franz would visit the great man now, the Austrian legend-Grand Duke Carl.
As the most legendary general in the anti-French war, he repeatedly defeated the French army, he was promoted to marshal for his achievements at the age of 25. He was also the only general in the alliance feared by Napoleon.
Otherwise, the incompetence of the Viennese government would break the good hand. Perhaps the anti-French war should not wait for the Russians to save the battlefield, and it will end in advance, and Austria should not lose the Netherlands.
Such marshals dedicated to the incompetence of the emperor, of course, would not have good results, especially Grand Duke Carl or the royal family.
Fortunately, this is the continent of Europe. Emperor Franz I was also the grandfather of the protagonist, and he was not a ruthless ruler. Only the marshal of the victorious hero could be active until now.
A strong man in the military is not the same as a strong man in politics. After using it to reform the Austrian army, his political opponents played a little trick and made him resign and go home.
From then on, Grand Duke Karl returned home to study military theory, and wrote military books such as "On the Tactics of General", "On the Principles of German War in 1796" and "History of the German and Swiss Wars in 1799".
This is how the development of the generation of military strategists Grand Duke Karl believes that military science consists of two parts: strategic and tactical.
Strategy is the science of the supreme commander, and his job is to formulate a war plan and determine military operations. Tactics is the art of commanders at all levels, inferior to war.
Both strategy and tactics consist of certain rules or principles. An important principle of military science is: in order to correctly calculate the available weapons and weapons that can achieve their intended purpose, the troops must be adapted to the objectives.
Regardless of the strength of the army, it can only produce maximum effect if used right at the time of decision.
Therefore, assessing the time appropriately and concentrating the power on the moment of effect is the most effective way to win.
Another important point: forming an overwhelming advantage over the enemy in a decisive place. Strength not only refers to the number of troops, but also includes morale, commanding ability, and terrain conditions of the troops.
He also clearly put forward the concept of the reserve team, clearly showing that whether it is offensive or defensive, the reserve team should always be left to prevent any unforeseen situations on the battlefield.
Grand Duke Carl believes that commanders are important to the fate of the country and the lives of millions of people, but commanders are not born, but created by knowledge and experience.
The true commander must thoroughly understand the essence of war, study the laws of war, and learn and use the experiences of himself and others in practice to use various military principles freely.
Such a talented military strategist would not be able to take advantage of him, and he would regret the reputation of that pursuer.
Military reform is not only true, conservative forces in the military are often stronger than ordinary people think, Franz knows this well.
Any reform should violate interest groups, and rebounding is naturally indispensable. Pot like that, Franz said that he could not take it.
For example, if Franz proposed reforming the staffing system, it was thought everyone would laugh at him, and some people even indicated that the cubs would play.
It would be different if he changed this Archduke Carl, regardless of whether everyone agrees or not, we should sit down and think about it.
"His Grand Duke wait a minute, master will be out soon!"
The servant said politely, there is still a bit of confusion in his tone, and Franz is not an ordinary mortal enemy. Is it really good to keep it cool?
But for Grand Duke Carl, it's all clouds. When it came to seniority within the royal family, he was the grandfather of Franz.
In addition, Franz had to give him face because of his influence in the Imperial Army, because today Franz came to visit under the pretext of studying the military.
"No problem, I'll wait here, by the way, make me a pot of tea, I don't want to drink coffee recently!" Franz said with a smile.
He was not angry at all, after all, this old man was going to take a box lunch next year, no need to care about the dead.
Time passed quickly, more than an hour passed, and Franz was still drinking tea there, staring at the newspaper, without an impatient expression.
"Little franz hasn't seen you in a long time, you've grown so tall!"
A warm voice rang out, and Franz knew that it was Grand Duke Carl, and no one dared to talk to him like that.
"Dear Marshal, can you remove that little character when you call me, I'm 16 years old!" Franz said helplessly.
"really? My little Franz is an adult. What's with coming to me today?" Grand Duke Carl asked with interest.
Franz doesn't care about Grandpa Carl's speech details, so Franz. Who called Grandpa Carl the brother of Grandpa Franz?
"Hello Marshal, I've read your military writings, and so I know how to ask for advice!"
“Say, what do you not understand, need I explain to you?” Archduke Carl laughed and laughed.
"That's the concept of your commander in chief. I found that the Imperial Army did not do enough in this and did not really resolve this matter!" Franz.
