Holy Roman Empire

The news of the occupation of Lombardy by the Kingdom of Sardinia reached France, which caused a shock in the interim government.

The French supported the war between the Kingdom of Sardinia and Austria, only to expel Austria from Italy and make Lombardy and Venice independent, but there was no intention to unify Italy with the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Since receiving news that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia have occupied Lombardy without blood, the head of the interim government, Alphonse de la Martin, is in a bad mood.

Austria anyway is also the four major powers in the European continent. Actually, if you are so counseling, you have given up Lombardy?

The correct method of operation was obviously defeated by the Sardinian army, and then was unable to suppress the domestic rebellion and was forced to abandon the Italian region. The Kingdom of Sardinia was unable to annex the Lombardy because of the heavy losses in the war.

The scripts they had compiled were changed from the beginning.However, they did not have the right to change the group of screenwriters, and they were kicked off by investors early.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Mentnéd, the Austrian Ambassador, is here."

The attendant's voice rang in his ears, and Alphonse recovered, saying, "Please come in."

After a brief chat on a diplomatic occasion, Mentnide guided the topic to the topic.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the Italian question?"

Alphonse smiled slightly, and the Austrian Ken sent representatives to negotiate with them, which was a good opportunity to increase the influence of France.

"Mr. Mendeneid, every ethnic group has the right to pursue national independence. I think it is a good choice to make the Lombardy region an independent country!"

Nate Ned has scolded his mother, co-authoring this is not a French territory, you do not feel bad?Lombardy and Venice are heavily taxed, and it is not easy for Austria to give up!

"Mr. President, I think this issue should be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Lombardy region is an integral part of the Austrian Empire. We will not make any concessions on this issue.

Let ’s talk about other parts of Italy, such as the division of power in the Kingdom of Sardinia. In this regard, we should have a common language!"

The French must be interested in dividing up Italy. Even if the interim government is busy with domestic struggles, it is indispensable.

A unified Italy is not in the interest of Austria, nor in the interest of the French. The Mediterranean is too small to accommodate so many large countries.

If Austria is not willing to give up the Lombardy region, then the war with the Kingdom of Sardinia will definitely continue.

The Austrian ambassador has come to the door, and it is clear that the partition of Italy is only for the purpose of exchanging interests with France and letting the French government give up supporting the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Alphonse did not have much choice. The battle took place in Lombardy. He had made it clear that the two sides did not exchange fire, which means that the Austrian army did not suffer losses.

Unless supported by foreign aid, he does not think that the Kingdom of Sardinia can win Austria. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. This cannot be compensated for by individual ability.

The Interim Government cannot provide too much support to the Kingdom of Sardinia, and what benefits can be gained from supporting the Kingdom of Sardinia?

France wants to take Italy alone, but Alphonse does not have that ambition.

Although the Vienna system collapsed, the Russians had warned him that he had not forgotten that the British were also watching. If this step was taken, the European continent would be singled out.

"Mr. Mentnide, how do you think it is more reasonable to divide?" Alphonse asked with concern.

Since the Austrians want to buy them with the benefits of the Kingdom of Sardinia, then look at the bid price first, as long as the price is right, it is not impossible to stab the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Anyway, at this time, France and the Kingdom of Sardinia have not yet formed an alliance. The two parties have only agreed verbally, and there is no pressure to betray.

"Austria won the regions of Genoa and Turin, and the rest is owned by France, and the two countries formed an alliance to fight against international pressure!"

After talking, Mentnide took the pen and drew a line on the map to divide the Kingdom of Sardinian into two. From the size point of view, the two sides were evenly divided.

Alphonse's face changed. He didn't expect the Austrian to have such a big appetite that he wanted to eat the Kingdom of Sardinia.

On the surface, France has picked up a big bargain this time. Austria has undertaken to fight the main army of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The French only have to wait for the war to end and send troops to occupy.

But in fact, this is not the case. The essence of the Sardinian kingdom is in Turin and Genoa, gathering more than eight floors of industry in the country.

If these two places fall into the hands of Austria, it will be difficult for France to seize it again.In this era, France ’s military strength did not prevail over Austria.

Alphonse said, "Mr. Mendeneid, I'm afraid this won't work. The essence of the Sardinian Kingdom ..."

...

Ask for prices all over the world and pay back the money.

The command received by Mentenede was to hold the French down and not allow them to provide support to the Kingdom of Sardinia. As for the division of the Kingdom of Sardinia, it was only a guise.

There are a lot of internal problems in Austria, and Franz will not expand externally unless it is dealt with cleanly.

Moreover, if history has n’t changed, by June, when the Parisian proletariat broke out, the French would be overwhelmed and unable to support the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After the suppression of the uprising, the French government replaced the people. A new round of political struggle began. This political struggle will continue until the restoration of Napoleon III.

The so-called sphere of influence division is now just a short check.

Alphonse is not stupid, he also knows that there may be a problem with the partition of the Kingdom of Sardinia proposed by the Austrians, but now the interim government urgently needs to make achievements to alleviate domestic conflicts.

The two parties can be described as a hit, even if it is a blank check, as long as the French have the strength, they can also cash out the check.

Any treaty favorable to France is now reached, which is the performance of the interim government, and it is good to divert domestic attention.

The two sides fought a protracted war directly, apart from dividing up the Italian region.Alphonse also needed Austria to recognize the legitimacy of the interim government and to abolish the shackles imposed on France by the Vienna system.

Such questions are used to discuss conditions.In this era, the French were very diplomatic isolated, and the interim government urgently needed to be recognized by the world.

The July dynasty, which has been heavily criticized, is actually not wrong in diplomacy.Since the beginning of the anti-French war, the French government has played the role of public enemy in Europe, without pretending to be a grandson.

The interim government will naturally not be tough, just look at the reaction of the Russians and know that if a gold lord gives money, all gray animals will be killed in Paris.
