Holy Roman Empire

Not to mention the British, because of the relationship between the Kingdom of Sardinia, the two countries are at odds.At this time, it is impossible for the London government to continue to deteriorate the Anglo-Austrian relationship, otherwise the Russian-Austrian alliance will become tighter and tighter.

The remaining small European countries can only condemn a few sentences at most. It is impossible to sanction Austria for a few slogans, right?Even if they have the heart, they have no courage?

Prime Minister Felix objected: "Your Highness, if it's just a verbal support, it's not a big problem. But if the Prussians delay the problem until we suppress the domestic rebellion, will we help or not?

If you help them, the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia will be further strengthened, if not, then our reputation in the German region will be greatly damaged again! "

This is a very real problem. The Prussians may not be able to beat the Russians, but the Tsarist government did not want to declare war on Prussia during this period, and they could still do it by dragging the problem for a year or so.

Franz sneered and said: "It doesn't matter, the Prussians can delay time, and we can also delay time. Even if the domestic rebellion is suppressed, we can still use the excuse that the local situation is unstable and we are unable to send troops.

The big deal is to share a sum of military expenses with them. If they can successfully bring the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein back to the Federation, we will pay; "

Franz would not be stingy if he could spend a sum of money to completely destroy the relationship between Russia and Prussia.

But the Prussians are definitely unwilling to take this sum of money. They have made such a big noise, not just to let the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein return to the German Federation.

If they could not annex the two duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, wouldn't they have fought this war for nothing?

Even because of the addition of two new members to the German Federal Parliament, the strength of the state has been further strengthened, and the road to the unification of Germany has become even more out of reach.

Chapter 1 Recovering Lombardy

After the Battle of Venice, Marshal Radeski did not stop, but let the troops rest for two days before marching towards the Lombardy region.

The Sardinian government overestimated their status in the hearts of the local people. After experiencing deception, the people of Lombardy have hated the Sardinian government.

But at this time, the halo of Marshal Badoglio's famous general was shattered again. The Battle of Venice destroyed the backbone of the Sardinian army. After losing their faith, the destructive power of the rout was terrifying.

Every time they go to a place, they harm a place, and before the government mobilizes the masses, they pull their hatred to full value.

There is no harm without comparison, and ordinary people suddenly find that the days under the rule of the Kingdom of Sardinia are not as good as those under the rule of the Austrian government.

At the very least, the decadent Austrian government has established a social order. Although it is oppressed by the government, nobles, and capitalists, the social order is still generally stable, and everyone can make do with it.

However, after the Kingdom of Sardinia came, there were continuous wars. The high war tax was even more ruthless than that of the Austrian government.

On June 6, a bread tragedy broke out in the city of Milan. In order to survive, workers in Milan besieged the bakery, which led to bloody suppression by the Sardinian army, and hundreds of people were killed on the spot.

On June 6, a peasant uprising broke out in Pavia. The rebel army once grew to more than 3 people, and they openly unfurled the banner to welcome the Austrian army.

……

The Sardinian government expected that the people's war did not hit Austria, and they themselves fell into the ocean of people's war first.

The Lombardy region was obtained too easily. Except for the purge of a group of republicans, the Sardinian government did not make a big move, and now the sequelae broke out.

Austria has ruled here for so many years, how could it not have supporters?

If the Kingdom of Sardinia has been strong, the loyalty of these people will probably be greatly reduced, but now that Austria has the upper hand, they can't help it.

Coupled with a large group of speculators who wanted to change jobs, the workers' and peasants' revolutionary movement in Lombardy was unfolding like a fire. Marshal Badoglio could only fight the Austrians while sending people to put out the fire.

Before the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Sardinia arrived, the Austrian army approached the city of Milan.

In just a few days, Marshal Badoglio seemed to have aged 20 years, and at this time he was left with regrets.

If he had known that he would get to this point, he would not have been greedy for this credit.By now he has seen that Marshal Radeski's abandonment of Lombardy is simply luring the enemy to go deeper.

It's a pity that they were all deceived by political propaganda, wishful thinking that the Austrian Empire was decayed, and their troops were vulnerable.

"Marshal, the enemy has already approached the city of Milan, order to retreat quickly!" Lieutenant General Messer said anxiously

"Retreat? Where else can we retreat?" Badolio said with a sneer

Looking at the general in front of him who made him make a wrong decision, Badoglio wished he could be killed directly.

But this is just a previous thought, and now his heart is dead. As the supreme commander of this military operation, he must be responsible for the failure of this war.

The pain of being ruined, Badolio could not bear, he would rather die on the battlefield than go back to be tried in a court-martial.

"Of course I'm going back to China. The city of Milan can't be kept, and most of the Lombardy region can't be kept. The Austrians won't let it go. We still have to fight to defend our homeland.

At this time, we must preserve our strength as much as possible, otherwise who will guard the Kingdom of Sardinia? Lieutenant General Messer said as a matter of course

Badoglio shook his head and said: "It is precisely because we want to preserve our strength as much as possible that we cannot retreat. If we don't contain the main force of Austria, will other troops be able to retreat?

We are running ahead, and the enemy is chasing after us. How many soldiers do you think we have left when we run back to the Kingdom of Sardinia?

What's more, the domestic defense war also needs time to prepare domestically. We must contain the enemy in the city of Milan and buy time for the domestic country! "

At this time, he has put personal life and death aside, out of the responsibility of a soldier, he is ready to fight for a chance for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

If the two sides in the Battle of Venice fought head-to-head, then the Lombardy Defense War was defeated too quickly, and the Austrian army was completely swept away by the autumn wind.

Originally, Badoglio thought that with the [-] troops in his hands and relying on the fortifications of the positions, no matter what, it could be delayed for two or three months.

For such a long time, the Kingdom of Sardinia completed another national mobilization.Fighting in the local area, with the support of the people, maybe there is still a chance.

It's a pity that the Sardinian army has already lost its military spirit. No matter how many such troops are, it is useless. Bardolio has to pin his hopes on the defense of Milan.

After all, the Republic of Hungary relied on Budapest to resist the Austrian army for more than a month, and it has not fallen so far. There is no reason why they cannot do it.

Badoglio wanted to defend the city of Milan, but King Charles Albert refused. All the troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia were involved in this war. If the entire army was wiped out, the Kingdom of Sardinia would be over.

In the end, Badolio made a decision to leave [-] troops behind to defend the city of Milan to buy time for the army to retreat.

……

On June 6, the Sardinian army, which had fought hard for two days and nights, finally failed to block the Austrian soldiers.With the cooperation of the people in the city, the city of Milan returned to Austria again.

When Milan fell, Marshal Badolio committed suicide in the Governor's Palace, retaining his last dignity as a soldier.

On June 6, the Austrian army regained the Lombardy region, and their troops pointed directly at the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Orsa War entered a new stage.

都灵

The rapid failure of the Lombardy defense war left the Sardinian government dumbfounded. They really did not expect to lose so quickly.

After all, Marshal Radkis relied on his position to block the attack of 20 Sardinian troops with an army of less than [-].

In their view, the Kingdom of Sardinia still has [-] to [-] troops in the Lombardy region, which is almost the same as the offensive force of Austria. make up.

Charlie Albert asked anxiously: "Li Qi, how many troops have we withdrawn from the front line, can we stop the enemy's attack?"

Army Minister Li Qi replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, a total of 15 troops have been withdrawn, and we have mobilized another [-] troops in the country. However, these people mobilized later have not undergone formal training, and their combat effectiveness may be..."

Chapter 1: The Kingdom of Sardinia with its life hanging by a thread

Charlie Albert waved his hand and said, "Just teach them how to use guns. At this point, I don't care about that much anymore.

The focus now is to boost morale and arouse their patriotism. If training is not enough, use courage to make it up.

As long as we dare to fight hard, even if we exchange three soldiers or five soldiers for one soldier of the enemy, we can also delay the Austrians and create favorable conditions for negotiations! "

He has long given up his illusions because of his amazing fighting power. The regular army of the Kingdom of Sardinia has been hanged and beaten. Can the cannon fodder troops formed temporarily now be against the sky?

If the quality is not enough, then use quantity to make up for it. They have plenty of people for local operations.

After the government's long-term propaganda, ordinary people have recorded the hardships of life on Austria, and now they have a mass base.

Li Qi, Minister of the Army, said anxiously, "Your Majesty, our weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient. Many soldiers share a gun with two or three people. This is the result of our encouraging soldiers to bring their own weapons."

Naturally, he would not have the confidence to speak after losing a battle. If Marshal Bardolio hadn't killed himself at the last moment and resisted all the responsibilities, the internal situation of the Kingdom of Sardinia might have changed.

Even so, the pressure on the government has increased significantly.It can be said that the Austrian army was approaching the city at this time, which saved the Sardinian government to a certain extent.

King Charles Albert, a seasoned politician, took the opportunity to divert domestic conflicts. Under the banner of defending his home and country, he arranged all unstable factors into the army and put them on the front line of fighting against Austria.

If the Austrian army can help him kill these people, I guess Charlie Albert would not mind giving them a big medal.

Of course, this is impossible, and Charlie Albert would not be grateful to the Austrians.Unless these people are killed, the Austrian army will go home.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Sardinia is at its weakest now. If it doesn't bite a piece of meat, will Austria have the nerve to call itself a great power?

"Mobilize the people in the country to raise donations. I personally take the lead and donate all the guns in my collection. I count as much as I can make up. If there is not enough, I equip some cold weapons to make do with it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is communicating with Britain and France. It won't be long before we can obtain enough weapons and equipment. ’ Charlie Albert thought for a while and said

Li Qi's heart is broken. He really wants to ask what King Charles Albert thinks. What is your collection? Don't you have any clues in your heart?

The guns that can be used in the country have long been requisitioned. Now the royal family's collections are basically antique guns. The oldest one is the 14th century arquebus.

These weapons are fine for decoration, but if they are really used on the battlefield, it is murder.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is one of the origins of the Renaissance. The nobles here are pursuing historical and cultural heritage. Naturally, the older the weapons in your collection, the more historical stories the better.

At the time of this mobilization, all the noble children of the Sardinian Kingdom of the right age had entered the army to serve, and they had already brought out the weapons they could use.

Forget it, no matter how ancient the weapon is, as long as it can fire bullets, it can kill people, and at worst it can be used as a disposable item.

The most tragic thing is to use cold weapons to make up the number. This is probably to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the Austrian army. Facing the unreliable boss, Li Qi finally chose-"Your Majesty is wise."

This Prime Minister Azelio couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the French have already rejected our request to buy weapons. They even follow the Swiss next door to strictly investigate smuggling and prohibit weapons and ammunition from flowing into our country."

It's no secret that the secret pact is no longer a secret, but for the Kingdom of Sardinia, an Austrian would be doomed, and if another French came, they wouldn't even have the courage to resist.

The Sardinian government chose to pretend to be confused, trying to rely on the internal contradictions of the French government to get rid of this crisis.

But now they can't pretend anymore, the neutral country Switzerland imposes an arms embargo on them, that's a normal operation.Now the French are also playing this way, which is blatantly malicious.

Don't forget that before the outbreak of this war, the French government encouraged them to send troops and promised a bunch of weapon aid.Not to mention aid now, even normal trade cannot go smoothly.

There is no way, no matter how much they promise benefits to the French, they cannot be as straightforward as Franz did.

Austria can cede half of the Kingdom of Sardinia to the French, which is a generosity of others, and the Sardinian government absolutely cannot make this decision.

In the face of interests, the promises of politicians are almost like farting.

The French have long had ambitions for Italy. Because of the containment of the Habsburg family, their efforts for hundreds of years have been in vain.

Now the opportunity is coming, politicians need the political prestige brought by expanding the territory, capitalists need a bigger market, noble officers need military merit.

So many people have interests and demands, so it is natural that the diplomatic efforts of the Kingdom of Sardinia cannot stop it. If it is not for the internal dominance struggle, the French army will be killed at this time.

"boom"!

Charlie Albert slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Damn French, they should all go to hell. If we had known that in the anti-French war, we shouldn't have let them go so easily!"

Everyone chose not to hear the king's roar.What was the situation in the Kingdom of Sardinia during the Anti-French War? Needless to say?

"Your Majesty, the British have agreed to mediate in this war. At this time, the British Foreign Minister, Mr. Palmerston, has set off from London and is on his way to Vienna." Prime Minister Azelio hurriedly announced the good news.

……

When the life of the Kingdom of Sardinia was hanging by a thread, the Parisians full of internationalism launched the June Uprising and saved the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The June Revolution in Paris is very legendary. After the French bourgeois government succeeded in seizing power, it successfully hooked up with Austria and Russia.

The Prussian liberals sent a note to France, inviting the French government to support the Polish independence movement, which was naturally rejected by the French government.

After the news came, in order to support the Polish revolution, 15 Parisian workers took to the streets to demonstrate on the morning of June 1848, 6, and occupied the parliament building, demanding that the French government form an expeditionary force to support the Polish independence movement.

Undoubtedly, this spirit of internationalism was rejected by the French government, and the contradictions between the two sides began to intensify. On June 6, revolution broke out in Paris again.

The internal instability in France, in order to avoid the situation from deteriorating, the Paris government had to cancel the plan to send troops to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Chapter 1 Interest Kidnapping

匈牙利

As the news of the defeat of the Kingdom of Sardinia spread, more and more Hungarians lost confidence in the revolution, and a series of cities including Miskolc, Debrecen, Pécs, and Seged fell successively.

By mid-June, the last remaining city of the Hungarian Republic was Budapest.

The revolutionaries, who were unwilling to fail, fled to the countryside after losing important cities, trying to continue their tenacious resistance by relying on guerrilla warfare.

It's a pity that the Hungarian people don't buy it. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Habsburg dynasty is their patron saint, while the Hungarian republic government is a plundering government composed of nobles and capitalists.

The people's war was not launched, but it was suppressed by the masses of the people.

It can be said that Franz's field division campaign in Hungary was very successful, and he successfully dumped all the black history of Austria to the Hungarian autonomous government.

The world will never lack smart people. After experiencing a civil strife, the Hungarian nobles who were severely damaged in their strength quickly placed themselves in their positions and took actions to prove their role to the Vienna government, preparing to take advantage of the new social system. status.

This is the way for the ancient nobles to survive, and they know how to compromise with reality.The nouveau riche who didn't learn this got their lunch when Austria suppressed the Hungarian rebellion.

In an old castle outside the city of Arab, a young man was angrily saying, "Father, are we really going to do this? Once the Kingdom of Hungary ceases to exist, we can only..."

The old man waved his hands and said earnestly, "August, don't be blinded by interests!

The Kingdom of Hungary no longer exists, and it was doomed from the moment the Hungarian Revolution began. The determination of the Vienna government to split Hungary will not waver.
