Chapter 902

The pilgrimage was significant to most people, but that didn't include Franz.

As an emperor, he still had his privileges. With the excuse of dealing with government affairs, Franz directly avoided a series of activities. He had already made up his mind not to appear in public until it was time for the coronation.

The charm of Jerusalem was great. Not only did Franz's family come, but most of the senior officials of the Government of Vienna also came.

Whether these people were devout believers or not, it was still very meaningful for politicians to attend the coronation in Jerusalem.

This was the first king of the Christian world since the loss of Jerusalem hundreds of years ago. Whether it was political or religious significance, it was worthy of detailed historical records.

As a participant, it was inevitable to leave a name in history. There would also be a higher historical evaluation. Combined with the development of Austria, this cabinet would most likely become a legend for future generations.

Since ancient times, a virtuous minister was paired with a wise ruler, and the two sides complemented each other. Franz never minded that his subordinates had a good reputation and high prestige.

…

Jerusalem Palace.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, I just received news that there was a coup in Ankara. The leader of the reformist party, the Grand Vizier, was killed and Abdul Aziz I was abolished.

According to the information we received, the coup was initiated by the Osman Youth Party. The main force of the coup was students, and some of the new army participated.

After the coup, conservatives and religious people also joined in. Now the situation in Ankara is completely out of control. "

Because of the butterfly effect, the Osman Youth Party was somewhat different from the original time and space. The time of formation was earlier, and the people who participated also changed.

After the First Near Eastern War, the knowledgeable people who were unwilling to see the Osman Empire fall formed the Patriotic League. Because most of the participants were patriotic youths, it was called the Osman Youth Party.

The loss of The Balkans had a huge impact. As soon as this organization appeared, it quickly grew in strength in the Osman Empire.

The growth of the Youth Party also caused uneasiness in the Government of Sudan, which soon led to the suppression of the government. Because of the internal organizational structure, the Youth Party quickly fell into a predicament.

At this time, Abdul Aziz I, who had just succeeded the throne, opened the prelude to reform. Many policies of the Government of Sudan eased the internal contradictions to a certain extent.

After the outbreak of the Russo-Russian War, the Government of Sudan succeeded in taking back the Caucasus region from Russia. The government's prestige increased, and the Osman Youth Party fell apart.

Under normal circumstances, this organization, like most revolutionary organizations, would disappear in the long river of history in obscurity.

Just as the Osman Youth Party was about to be destroyed, the organization was saved by the Second Near Eastern War.

After another failure, the Sudanese government lost the support of the people. All levels of society lost confidence in the government and fell into confusion.

Franz recalled the information in his mind and asked with concern, "How is the strength of the Young Osman Party? Is it possible for them to cooperate with the Conservatives?"

The revolutionary organizations in of the revolution were were not have have. have. Especially in a country like the Ottoman Empire where the capital economy had yet to develop, many members of the Youth Party were of feudal aristocratic origin.

Naturally, it was impossible for one to erase his own life so thoroughly. The key was whether the Osman Youth Party could stabilize the situation, protect the Osman Empire, and prevent the empire from falling into civil war.

The key was whether the Osman Youth Party could stabilize the situation, protect the Osman Empire, and prevent the empire from falling into civil war.

Wesenberg shook his head. "The Osman Youth Party has been growing rapidly recently. The number of members has exceeded 100,000, and it has gained the support of many young officers.

But these are all empty words. The Youth Party is full of factions. Without a strong leader, it is difficult to integrate these forces.

The Osman Youth Party consists of young people who have accepted new ideas. They have irreconcilable contradictions with the conservatives. Especially on religious issues, the two sides are unable to compromise.

Abdul Aziz I wanted to carry out secular reforms, but he was obstructed by the conservatives. Now the Osman Youth Party wants to reform, but it is also difficult.

If there are no accidents, the Osman government will be in a power struggle for a long time in the future. Coupled with the national independence movement, the possibility of the Osman Empire breaking up is very high. "

Most people in this era thought that the Osman Empire was backward mainly because of religion and system. As long as they carried out secular reforms and learned from the Western political system, the Osman Empire could quickly become strong.

This judgment was not wrong. In Franz's view, this was far from enough. If only religious and political reform could make the country strong, then it was too easy to become a powerful country.

Now the Osman Empire's top priority was not reform, but stability. If the regime could not be stabilized, it was unnecessary to talk about reform.

Dispelling the unnecessary thoughts, Franz made a decision. "Let the Osman Empire be. We are already enemies. Even if we help them, they will not appreciate it.

Since Britain and France decided to support the Osman Empire, they will not watch them break up. A broken Osman Empire will not only not be able to contain us, but it will also be a fat piece of meat for us.

Now contact the Osman nationalistic groups. If the Osman Empire really does break up, it will be within the framework that we have defined. "

Franz no longer had any illusions about protecting the Osman Empire.

Although the existence of the Osman Empire was more conducive to Austria's strategic concealment, from the standpoint of the Government of Vienna, there was no reason to help the Osman Empire stabilize the situation.

As for Britain and France interfering to protect the Osman Empire? Franz was not optimistic about them. Not to mention other things, what about the rebels in the Osman Empire?

The Armenian rebels, the Greek rebels, the Jewish rebels …

Most of these armed groups were supported by Austria and Russia during the Near Eastern War. Now they had a certain level of strength.

Although the Second Near Eastern War ended, the aftermath of the war had just begun.

The post-war economic depression, the refugee crisis, the government's financial difficulties … a series of factors, all troubled the Osman government.

Britain and France were not charities. It was impossible for them to invest unlimited funds. Trapped by the government's finances, Abdul Aziz I could not solve these problems. The current Osman Youth could not do the same.
