Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

After the Zurich Conference, France had withdrawn its hands from Italy's affairs. Due to Prussia's seizure, the casualties France suffered were actually smaller than in OTL.

Although the fight was not that good, I picked up a lot of heads along the way. Overall, it was pretty good, except that the last wave of dumplings was not wrapped.

But in fact, it is not just France. This wave of fighting is quite confusing for everyone, including but not limited to watching the fire from the other side, killing people with borrowed knives, and the invasion of northern barbarians, just drinking wine to kill them.

Originally, Austria's intervention was over. It stands to reason that not only France but also Prussian volunteers should withdraw, because from here on it becomes the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Prussia has no reason to intervene.

But August did not recall Bittenfeldt. Prussia was careless here. She said it was to protect Italian civilians. August gave Bittenfeldt the right to judge whether to stay or return to the country.

Bittenfeldt definitely didn't want to go back so soon. He only went back after playing for two or three months? Then isn't his fight too cheap?

Bittenfeld said that it was very necessary and that he had not fought enough.

So the Prussian volunteers stayed. Their excuse was to follow the arrangements of the Italian government and protect Italian civilians.

In modern terms, it is a peacekeeping force.

Of course you will follow the arrangements of the Italian government. Then if Italy arranges for you to go to war, will you go? Bittenfeldt said that it was like leaving.

Some time after the Zurich Conference, the Italian guerrilla war god Garibaldi was crazy about things behind Austria. He can be said to be the hero of Italian unification.

It was this kind of person who had a big fight with Cavour in the conference room. He felt that Cavour made a very wrong decision in giving Nice to France.

He has no feelings for Savoy, but where is Nice? Nice is the hometown of Garibaldi. Do you want Italians in the future to find out that the Italian God of War Garibaldi was actually a Frenchman when looking through history books?

Moreover, whether in terms of national sentiment or love for the country, Garibaldi did not have a good impression of France, and Nice and Savoy themselves have been territories of the Kingdom of Sardinia for many years, and most of the people there are Italians. Although Italy The government brought them to Italy for reasons, but it’s impossible to just give up in a place where they have lived for so long, right?

Garibaldi said loudly in the conference room, "I cannot allow France to occupy my hometown. Are you worthy of the Italian people? Cavour! They are our compatriots. Are you going to sell our compatriots to the French?" ?”

Cavour also knew that he was in the wrong, "This is a French-speaking area, and giving it to France is not a wrong choice. Savoy and Nice are separated by the Alps. The cultures and ethnic compositions of the two places are different. We need to do something for the people." Make the right decision.”

"Cavour! I'm very disappointed with you. Why do you make decisions for those Italians? We can't abandon our compatriots just because of this small gap. They have been with us for so many years and you abandoned them." , I will never agree to such a thing!"

Garibaldi said angrily, "Even if you give up Nice, I don't think they will compromise like this. I will fight the French until they liberate Nice!"

Cavour knew very well what enemy Garibaldi was facing, and he dissuaded him, "Italy has not yet been unified, you can't do this! We owe you what we owe you and we will pay it back, look at your people, you have to do this at this time Abandon them?"

Garibaldi was convinced. Of course he didn't want to give up so quickly. He wanted to struggle again. He actively contacted the resistance forces in Nice, but their strength was too weak. The French army was very strong at home. , not to mention that attacking Nice does not require crossing the Alps.

In the end, the uprising did not start. In October, a new uprising broke out in Naples and Sicily. Garibaldi still interrupted and complied with public opinion. He temporarily put aside his differences and prejudices with Cavour and once again became the Italian leader. A pawn of the kingdom, he wants to capture Naples for the sake of this motherland.

In this battle, the Prussian and Italian armies will attack the Papal States from the north. Garibaldi's troops will land on Sicily, and then strategically encircle the northern countries.

The most important part of this battle is Garibaldi's Sicilian direction. If the victory can be achieved here, Italy will soon be able to unify.

After a period of war training, the Prussian army also became much more proficient. They formed a sharp contrast with the chaotic Italian army. Their square formation was neat and the organization was complete.

The main forces of the Prussian and Italian armies crossed the border of the Papal States on October 10. The troops attacking the Pope in Bologna were few in number, and most of them were militiamen. The Prussian army basically collapsed after a few rounds of shelling, and it was not a big threat.

After the victory of Bologna, on the way to advance, there was also a small pocket country in the mountains called San Marino. This was a small country in a quiet corner of Italy. It had nothing and was of no value. The Prussian and Italian troops bypassed it directly. .

The Prussian cavalry took the lead in reaching Ancona and had a encounter with a group of militiamen on the plain ahead. It was obvious that this group of people was definitely no match for the Italian-Prussian coalition.

The Italian army man hugged the Prussian army and said, we two are really strong.

At this time, Garibaldi also landed in Sicily. The king of Naples was unpopular. Riots often occurred in the Two Sicilies, and Garibaldi wanted to completely overthrow the king's rule.
