Marshal Bardolio is very annoyed recently. Since the Kingdom of Sardinia announced the annexation of Lombardy on April 7, a group of democrats ran out to protest.

Not to mention that he did not have the right to speak for the marshals of national affairs, not to mention the fact that these small people who were fighting for battles naturally sent troops to disperse them.

Fortunately, the Austrian army has cracked down for a round, and the hard bones have been almost killed. The people of the interim government are also bought, bought under house arrest, and the remaining people are only kings of guns.

"Sir Marshal, there is a group of people outside to petition and ask you to send troops to recapture Venice!"

This is not the first time that petitions have appeared, petitions for independent petitions, petitions for autonomy, petitions for additional food rations ...

In short, regardless of whether Bardolio can make the decision, the people in the Lombard region seem to have identified him, and if there is something, they ask the marshal to petition.

Heroes are not so good, in order to maintain his glorious image, Bardolio has to make an appearance of being humble.

In addition to those who demanded independence, he was sent out to expel him, and other petitions against him, he will meet with the petition representative and explain his difficulties by the way.

For example: The military does not interfere in politics, which is the reason he uses the most.

Too much to say, now Bardolio himself is somewhat convinced that this is true. Recently, he rarely intervenes in the government affairs of the Lombardy region, unless the people of the local government take the initiative to find him.

"Let them send representatives in!" Bardolio frowned.

No way, I can't escape this time.Sending troops to the Venice area is not only a political issue, it is more a military issue. Now the command of the troops on the front line of the Sardinian kingdom is under his command. This time it is the right person.

Soon, two students who looked like students were brought in. Bardolio's brows were tighter, and the second-year youngest horse was the most annoying.

"Dear Honorable Marshal, this is Rim, he is Townsend, and it is a pleasure to see you!"

Looking at the excited two teenagers, Bardolio responded politely: "I am also very happy to see you. Can you show me the petition first?"

"Oh, okay!" Rim answered quickly.

After receiving the petition, Bardolio glanced quickly.This is a blood book. The content is very bloody, and there are dense signatures on the back. He was almost touched.

"I have received this petition and I will hand it over to the king as soon as possible, but when I will attack Venice, this is a military secret that I cannot disclose.

Now we are preparing for a military offensive. We all know what happened some time ago, because the preparation was not enough, and everyone who was hurt was hungry.

This time we have learned a lesson, so it takes longer to prepare before the war, and we cannot be forced to stop military operations again because of food problems.

The total strength of the Austrians is as high as 500,000 or 600,000. Once the Venice War starts, they will definitely send reinforcements. Now I have insufficient strength.

The domestic reinforcements are still on the way, and the recruits that have just been recruited in Lombardy are still in training, all of which will take time.

However, you can rest assured that the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

After hearing Bardolio's explanation, the two teenagers nodded constantly. They were both military whites. There was no Internet in this era. They did not know the domestic situation in Austria.

According to normal thinking, it is that Austria is very strong and can win the Marshal Bardolio of Austria. That is the first general in the world. He must be right.

"Victory will definitely belong to us, and we all believe you, Marshal. You are definitely not the timidity of the legend outside, they are all jealous of your talent!" Townsend said in a panic.

Bardolio suddenly felt a group of grass and mud horses running by, can you not say so direct, so there will be no friends.

Attack Venice?Isn't this nonsense, really thinking that Austria is a paper?

He now has a nominal 150,000 army, nearly a third more than the Austrians on the opposite side, but the water of the 150,000 army is too heavy, and nearly 70,000 of them are recruited locally.

The Italians have never been trusted by the Vienna government, so the Austrian army did not engage in local reserve. Now the soldiers recruited by Bardolio are actually farmers who have just laid down their hoe, or workers in the city.

Even the grassroots officers have a gap. The Italian region is not a German region, especially Lombardy, which is heavily commercialized. The military literacy of the local nobility has plummeted.

It can be said that this temporarily assembled unit was used to make up the numbers. Now, even one man with a gun is not equipped, which is used to engage in logistics and maintain local security.

If it is sent to the battlefield, it is to give the enemy a head. The real main force of this war is the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

80,000 Sardinian Army PK 100,000, Austrian Army, no matter how unreliable, this is why they stopped attacking.

But the people did not know that they were simply calculating the total strength. Austria ’s army in Italy totaled only 100,000. Because of the suppression of the revolution, there are still thousands of downsizing.

With the cooperation of the Venetian people, the 150,000 Sardinian army could not win the more than 90,000 Austrian troops?

The pressure of Marshal Bardolio is not too great. The local strength of Lombardy has just turned to the Kingdom of Sardinia, and he dare not dare to engage in things. Now he is coming from a student representative.

King Charles is different. There are a lot of groups in the Kingdom of Sardinia. He just diverted domestic contradictions through war and ended up playing too much. Now the radical nationalists urge him to send troops to Venice every day.

This is his own pot. In order to alleviate the political pressure in the country, King Charlie hyped the Sardinian army to defeat the Austrians in Lombardy. This made many people mistakenly think that Austria was just like that.

Public opinion is the easiest to go crazy. Charlie Albert forgets that he can't be too late, or that he knows it is useless, and public opinion is not under his control.

Now nationalism in Italy is on the rise, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is the strongest place of nationalism in Italy. Stimulated by the defeat of the Austrian army, nationalism is flourishing again.

At this time, nationalism mixed with patriotism has reached the edge of runaway, and some people are constantly reminding them that the Venice area is still under the rule of the Austrians.

Since the annexation of Lombardy by the Kingdom of Sardinia, all people have been more happy for the reunification of Italy. At this time, the area of ​​Venice controlled by Austria is very eye-catching.

The kingdom of Sardinia is already riding a tiger!
