69 Pragmatists

At this time, the main industries of the Italian region were concentrated in the northern region. Due to factors such as politics and geographical location, they were divided into "Turin-Genoa" industrial area and "Milan-Venice" industrial area.

There is no doubt that the industrial revolution in Italy has just started, and it is still dominated by traditional handicrafts, but many machine tools have been added.

The capitalists in the Venice area and the capitalists in the Kingdom of Sardinia have both cooperation and competition. Many capitalists have industries in both places, and the relationship between the two sides is not so easy to clear.

When the conditions proposed by Marshal Radkis spread in the Venice area, the capitalists responded. As for who he supported, it was difficult to make clear.

It does not matter, anyway, this is a conspiracy, even if they are the most hostile capitalists in Austria, they also need the Sardinian army to send troops to Venice as soon as possible.

Every day the war continues, it will bring them incalculable losses, including the native capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The national mobilization also prevents them from making money.

Turin became more lively, and the capitalists in the Venice area joined the offensive of public opinion, as if they became the last straw to overwhelm the camel. Looking at the black crowd of demonstrators, Charlie Albert had to order the army to launch an attack in advance.

To this end, he also sent the last 40,000 troops available in the country. The army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is as high as 190,000. If the power of allies is added, their total strength is now close to 250,000 in theory.

The reason is that in theory, it is because in addition to the army of the kingdom of Sardinia, the remaining army of the state is still playing soy sauce.

Especially the Naples army, the furthest away, stopped in the Papal State because of the heat stroke of a large number of soldiers.As long as God knows, why they heatstroke in the spring.

In short, the 40,000-strong army promised by Naples could not keep up with this war, but for the early reunification of the Italian region, they still sent hundreds of warriors to take the disease into battle.

No matter how ridiculous this reason is, at least one thing is certain, the army of Naples will not come.

Franz didn't think it was a credit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Just look at the birth of King Ferdinand II of Naples now.

The son of Clementina, the two Sicilian kings, Francois I and the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II.(The Kingdom of Sicily and Naples jointly formed the two Kingdoms of Sicily, with Naples dominating)

In simple terms, this is the younger brother of the Habsburg family raised in Italy. Although Austria's international reputation has fallen, this is not enough to make them jump back.

Looking at the map, you know that even if Naples was separated by the Papal State, even if they could drive Austria out of Italy, they would not get any substantial benefits.

Any state in Italy has the ambition to unify the Italian region. At this time, capital enemies are not a good choice.Even Austria ’s occupation of Venice and Lombardy is more in their interest than the Sardinian occupation of these areas.

History has changed, because Austria ’s military strength in the Venice area is stronger, and now the Kingdom of Sardinia has begun to practice the disintegration of the heavenly demon. This is a battle of national games.

By May, the reserve mobilized by Austria, after more than a month of running-in, had already begun to fight.Franz added troops to Hungary quietly, and the war was about to start.

Vienna

Franz once again lamented that Nicholas I was a good comrade. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that 300,000 Russian troops are ready to go and can help Austria and Prussia suppress the revolution at any time.

The strong support of the Tsarist government has had a very strong impact in Europe. Both Austria and Prussia ’s Revolutionary Party have received a blow.

The newly independent Hungarian regime has become precarious. The head of Kosut, the Republic of Hungary, has been unable to sleep at night, for fear that the Russians will stab them in the back.

Metternich said with great enthusiasm: "His Royal Highness, the French have moved. They have terminated all assistance to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Now we are negotiating the division of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Franz felt a joy in his heart and secretly thought: "Sure enough, Metternich is still suitable for diplomacy. When you are prime minister, it is completely professional!"

Being able to fool the French, there will be no accident in the next Italian battlefield. Without the help of the French, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is the weak chicken.

In just over a month, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia quickly expanded from 20,000 to 30,000 to nearly 200,000. People with a little military knowledge know that such an army is not reliable.

Of course, if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia are fearless, or if they execute the commands of the superiors honestly like German soldiers, then there is no problem.

Probably the Kingdom of Sardinia has been fooled by the radical public opinion in the country, thinking that these soldiers arrived on the battlefield, as powerful as they slogans.

Franz made a direct decision: "Well, sign a treaty with the French government as soon as possible, they change the government speed, not much slower than women change clothes, don't take extra measures!"

"His Royal Highness, if you want to sign a treaty right away, it would be too bad. The French have a bigger appetite than we thought." Metternich reminded

"It doesn't matter. Whether the treaty we signed with the French can be implemented depends on whether the French can withstand the pressure of the British.

Judging from the current situation, the French government continues to sell well to the British. As long as the London government is tougher, most French people will make compromises.

If they choose to give up on their own, it is no wonder we are.Even then, we can condemn them for betrayal."Franz said indifferently

Not only is this interim government kneeling and licking the British, but several subsequent French governments have been living with the British. It is unrealistic for them to resist the British at least for five years.

"His Royal Highness, if the French retreat, then we are afraid that we can't survive alone. Under the current circumstances, we are not suitable for annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Grand Duke Louis reminded

"Unfortunately, such a good opportunity has been missed. It is not so easy to let the kingdom of Sardinia come to the door!" Prime Minister Felix sighed.

Dominating Italy is not only a French dream, but also an Austrian dream, but this is just a dream. European powers will not let them do what they want.

"There is no way, who will make us have bad teeth now? If we really eat the Kingdom of Sardinia in one bite, we are going to be choked to death!" Franz said helplessly
