War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

The city of Verona is still very beautiful, but this city is famous thanks to Shakespeare and his opera "Romeo and Juliet".

Legend has it that Shakespeare accidentally heard the story of a young man and a young man from two feuding families who died for love in a cafe, and was inspired to write that legendary masterpiece.

Franz even went to the balcony to take a look, but it was a bit disappointing.

For the first time, he felt that cultural relic protection organizations were so important. At this time, Juliet's former residence was actually a hotel.

There were potholes and muddy roads, two third-rate prostitutes stood at the door, and a disgusting stench came from the house.

The walls were covered with obscenities, and from time to time you could hear the voices of prostitutes and clients bargaining inside.

Seeing this scene, Adjani whispered in Franz's ear: "Would you like to go in and experience it? Sign up as a member and unlock more."

"No need." Franz interrupted her immediately, and then ordered the coachman to go back.

Franz: "Have someone buy that hotel."

"Is this all you want?"

Over the years, Adjani has long been accustomed to Franz's language habits and joked in return.

Franz said helplessly: "I just want a hotel, no people."

Adjani said with a slight disappointment: "Oh, I thought you discovered some extraordinary person living inside again."

Franz: "I plan to set up a cultural relics protection organization. You go and find a way to recruit some people."

Adjani: "When the French enacted the world's first cultural relics protection law in 1840, didn't you say they wasted money and energy on a useless effort?"

Franz: “Well, I admit that I underestimated Louis Philippe, I thought he was just a fool who enjoyed his success.

But when I saw those cultural monuments being so ruined, I really couldn't help but have the urge to hit people. Maybe I am becoming more and more like an Austrian. "

Adjani asked: "You are not Austrian, how can you be anyone else?"

Franz was not interested in continuing this topic, and just casually said, "It doesn't matter who it is, maybe a Frenchman."

Adjani smiled awkwardly and said, "You are really funny." Then she over-interpreted this sentence.

One good thing about Austria is that it has no shortage of artistic talents. Cultural relics protection organizations are easily established, and accordingly there is a set of protection laws.

It's just that Franz's behavior is considered by the aristocratic circle as "throwing money" just like scientific research. In their eyes, the protection of cultural relics is nothing more than a group of "giant babies" who are unwilling to give up the toys in their hands and embrace the new era. Idiot move.

In fact, the protection of cultural relics is not completely without value. Let’s not talk about the virtual value, just say that the tourism value is enough to maintain the normal operation of these cultural relics protection organizations.

In fact, its spiritual value is far greater than its material value. Franz once stood in the Heroes' Square to admire the bronze statue of Prince Eugen. It is difficult to say how much the prancing horse and whip whip affected him.

The future of the Austrian Empire will be a supra-national state, and the inheritance of culture will be particularly important, so Franz does not feel that he has made a loss-making business.

(I still point it out clearly here, because I feel like not many people will read it if I write a foreshadowing.)

Of course, it was not just this incident that caused Franz's criticism in Vienna. In fact, his liquidation of assassins and conspirators in Lombardy caused panic among aristocratic circles.

After all, the nobles of the upper class have long been accustomed to "the law does not punish the public", "the harm does not affect the family", and "the Habsburg family is benevolent", but Franz's approach is really a bit too "cruel", " extreme".

In fact, this is the legacy accumulated over hundreds of years. Because there is no figure like Qin Shihuang in Europe, this leads to excessive power of local and aristocratic places and too weak imperial power.

However, because the French Revolution swept away the nobility and local forces, it strengthened the power of the emperor and the central government.

In the Austrian Empire at this time, the emerging bureaucratic aristocracy overwhelmed the traditional aristocracy. The former's power came from the emperor, and naturally it was impossible to cause trouble for the future emperor Franz.

As a result, the attitude of the entire aristocratic circle towards this matter became polarized. Traditional aristocrats felt that Franz was extreme and cruel.

The emerging bureaucratic aristocracy felt that exile was merciful, and that concealing and trying to cover up was also a sin. Franz's behavior was reasonable and legal.

In fact, the confrontation between foreign officials and local officials in northern Italy also had this reason. The traditional nobles were suppressed and could only serve as low-level officials.

However, the foreign senior officials had no "foundation", so the two sides began to compete endlessly for the power in their hands.

Of course, Franz was not prepared to give too many reasons to discredit himself. He had already obtained the "criminal evidence" and "confession" of those traitors before.

Naturally, no one can refute the irrefutable evidence. At the same time, the exile was changed to "compensation for work". Franz directly transformed political and moral issues into legal and economic issues.

After all, issues of rules are much easier to explain than issues of principle, so those who previously criticized Franz for being cruel and extreme now changed their tune and said that he was a national model in handling everything impartially.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Kagura suddenly kicked out a blow that changed the line and swept high. The speed was very fast and the angle was tricky. However, due to its light weight, its power was limited.

As Franz retreated, he grabbed her trousers and pulled her, and the latter made a straight horse in the air.

"There are too many fancy moves. If you want to make a sneak attack, you have to focus on speed and strength. Your body is already weak, and with the line changes and pauses, you don't have much strength left."

"yes."

If Franz's opponent had been a man, he would have basically lost consciousness. If women had not exercised for a long time and had good body flexibility, they would have lost the ability to move. Kagura's body has both of the above.

"That's it for today's physical training. Let's check for injuries first, then run 10,000 meters and then do shooting training. At least there should be no miss within 20 meters."

"yes."

Kagura's expression didn't change, but she still admired Franz in her heart, but the latter asked the former not to express his emotions and anger, let alone let others know what you were thinking, so she could only make a smile. A non-smiling expression.

After Kagura left the room, Adjani came over.

"That little girl is so bored. She's been bullied like this all day long and has nowhere to vent. I'm afraid she'll get sick sooner or later."

"It's normal for a girl from Izumo Country to be a little morbid, and if she doesn't have strong mental power and sufficient strength to do the tasks she's given later, it's the same as sending her to death."

Adjani spread her hands and said, "Okay, but I still think the 'dance' she practiced is completely useless."

Franz reminded: "Karate."

"With her physical fitness, I'm afraid her kicks won't be very powerful, right?"

Adjani turned around and kicked as she spoke. Her physical fitness was much better than Kagura's, after all, her height and weight were there.

But it was the same for Franz. The latter first dodged sideways, then wrapped his arms around the former's thigh and pulled him.
