Chapter 462 Social Death Plan

There were more than 10,000 people from Vienna who came to bury the emperor, and they crowded several nearby streets.

Joseph, wearing a long black coat, sat in a wheelchair, following closely behind Leopold II, thinking about how to withdraw the French army from Silesia in batches.

Well, although his legs and feet were intact, the public statement was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been grazed on the battlefield by bullets and had an infection on the way to Vienna, which had begun to affect his movements.

At present, the war in Silesia has stopped, and Lacy dragged the cannons used in the previous confrontation in Liegnitz to Breslau and built a new line of defense.

The day before yesterday, Leopold II officially announced the suspension of Joseph II's reforms, which caused an uproar throughout Austria.

Joseph remembered that in history, Leopold II canceled the reforms a few months later. It seems that because the war in Silesia consumed too much of the empire, he had to act in advance to win more support from the nobles, especially the Hungarian nobles.

However, this is also good news for him. After the Hungarian troops enter Silesia in large numbers, the withdrawal of the French army will be even less noticeable.

Behind him, another man in a wheelchair was staring at him with resentment. It was Baron Walter.

Walter's injury has improved a lot, but he still hurts all over when he walks.

He no longer fears the French prince at this time-the French army used to be the emperor's hope to take back Silesia. Just like last time, as long as the Frenchman showed a little dissatisfaction, his brother-in-law would teach him a lesson.

He even worried that the French prince would send someone to assassinate him again.

However, the situation is completely different now!

The reform is over, and the nobles are jubilant and expressed their loyalty to the new emperor. The Hungarian nobles have assembled an army of nearly 40,000 people, which will soon go to Silesia.

In Austria, Bohemia, Croatia, and even the Southern Netherlands, there are still a large number of nobles who originally refused to participate in the war due to the reforms and will join the army. It is said that the number can reach more than 30,000.

This means that Austria will no longer need the French army.

Baron Walter in the wheelchair looked down at his mutilated hand and swore in his heart: Sooner or later, the arrogant and despicable Frenchman will pay the price!

In fact, he has secretly contacted the anti-French ministers in Austria to make the French army withdraw from Austria. Although he has no political ability, his identity itself is a political symbol, so his efforts have begun to have an impact.

Austria, an empire that has been gathered without bloodshed, is located in central Europe and borders many major powers, resulting in various forces and factions in the country - pro-French, pro-British, pro-Russian, and even pro-Prussian. Of course, there are also people who oppose the above countries.

If Joseph knew about Baron Walter's operation, he could really give him a medal.

Walter thought that France was trying to form an alliance with Austria and form a coalition with Austria, but in fact, Joseph was eager to get out of Silesia, a place of trouble.

In this way, after the funeral of Joseph II, the Holy Roman Emperor who had unfulfilled ambitions, Joseph returned to Paris on the pretext of serious injuries and took the First Guards Corps as his guards along the way.

Before leaving Vienna, Camelia had not found free time to visit her teacher - the crown prince was injured, and she had to take care of him at all times.

Everyone was paying attention to the emperor's funeral, and the assassination of Baron Walter had not spread at all. The girl left a letter to her teacher and returned to Paris with the crown prince.

...

Paris.

Although Joseph had repeatedly asked public opinion to downplay France's military victory in Silesia, when he arrived in Paris, nearly a thousand people still gathered on both sides of the road to welcome the triumphant army.

Joseph had long since thrown away his wheelchair - who said that the crown prince could not recover in a week because of his strong body - he gave a brief speech to the welcoming crowd, and then left the important task of "military and civilian family" to Berthier, and went straight back to the Palace of Versailles.

After reporting his safety to Queen Marie and Louis XVI and having dinner together, Joseph finally had some free time.

Is it easy to be a crown prince? It's almost always 997, and he has to travel frequently.

He was preparing to go back to the palace to have a good sleep. During the past few months in Silesia, he slept on a camp bed for more than half of the time, and the main problem was that he woke up with back pain. Today he can finally enjoy his own velvet bed.

However, when he came to the corner of the corridor, he saw Fouché, Mirabeau, Bailly and others standing at the door looking forward to it.

Joseph sighed deeply and walked over with heavy steps.

Several important officials hurriedly saluted him respectfully, and after boasting about his victory in Silesia, they looked at each other, and Fouché followed into the reception room first.

"Your Highness, regarding the matter about Oscar Paoli that you ordered before," the intelligence chief placed a document in front of the crown prince, "we have basically found out all his information and arranged people around him. Now we can act at any time."

Joseph was immediately refreshed when he heard this. This Corsican Restorationist leader was his biggest worry, causing considerable damage to Corsica and seriously misleading the emperor. But Paoli had been hiding in the UK before, and now he can finally take action.

He looked at Fouché and said, "What are your plans?"

"According to your previous instructions, we decided to use the mistress to achieve our goal."

Because the British government does not allow Paulie to be assassinated, and Joseph cannot kill him either - if he dies now, Paulie will become a "martyr", which may stimulate the Corsican Restorationists to carry out separatist activities more firmly, so he must be "socially dead"!

Joseph frowned slightly, and then asked: "Please tell me more."

"Yes, Your Highness." Fouche said, "Paulie has a wife, and we plan to let a Bulgarian woman of humble origins seduce him. Of course, he will think it is a French woman.

"After that woman succeeded, I will try to let his wife catch the adultery and disclose the true identity of the mistress..."

Joseph sighed lightly. This can't be blamed on the intelligence agency's old-fashioned thinking. After all, they are all people in the 18th century. They have never seen the twists and turns of later generations, so it is not easy to think of such old-fashioned means.

Seeing that the crown prince seemed dissatisfied, Fouche hurriedly added: "Your Highness, then I will find another Caucasian woman, and the two of us will seduce him together? "

Joseph held his forehead helplessly, thought for a while, and randomly picked a "simple" case from later generations to instruct the intelligence chief: "If you want to use a woman to deal with him, you can design a lady to appear beside him, secretly seduce him, but on the surface be indifferent to him. Then find an opportunity for them to have something happen, but keep it secret.

"After he lets down his guard, arrange for some people to pass by the room where they are intimate, and it is best if there are policemen inside.

"Then, the lady takes out the torn clothes that have been prepared long ago, leaves some scars on herself, and shouts "rape"! At this time, go and notify his wife. "
