The next day.
In a spacious conference hall, Count Stadion, Count Speelman, and other ministers were all silent with their heads down.
Franz II first cursed the member states that participated in the Stuttgart conference and finally furiously declared, "Go tell those traitors that the Habsburg crown is not something they can decide!"
After a few silent seconds, Count Stadion, the highest-ranked in the hall, reluctantly spoke: "Your Majesty, currently the Imperial Assembly can no longer convene... We are afraid it's very difficult to effectively constrain these member states."
Franz II really wanted to say, "Then use the military to discipline them," but could only keep it bottled inside.
This Austrian internal turmoil, if it weren't for Russia sending troops to help, would have been unpredictable in its outcome. Even on the Hungarian side, a ceasefire agreement has not been signed yet.
Where does the Empire have extra capacity to send troops abroad?
