Holy Roman Empire

The Austrian empire is like a frail old man who overeats and eats, and may die at any time.Franz's concession to the French is also based on this.

In accordance with the principle of slashing the grass and hitting rabbits, Austria can also tear a piece of meat from the Kingdom of Sardinia if the French government is tough.

It does n’t matter much. What ’s important is that it can prove to the outside world that the Austrian Empire is still a great power, with great strength, and it deterred the Prussians who were about to move.

As for whether the French will become bigger because of this, Franz is very Buddhist, what does it matter to him?

The French are bigger, and the British and the Russians should worry about it.Could the French still fail to attack Austria in a silly manner?

Don't be funny, after the baptism of Napoleon, the vigilance of all European countries to France is S level.

Before getting rid of diplomatic isolation, any military action by the French may lead to joint suppression by all countries.

Metternich said calmly: "If the French counsel, then we don't need to destroy the Kingdom of Sardinia, and keeping them as a buffer between Austria and France is also a good choice.

The most troublesome thing is the British. Despite the London government ’s promise, they are willing to mediate the Osage War.

However, our embassy in London sent news that a British consortium was negotiating secret loans with the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Plus some time ago, the Kingdom of Sardinia has borrowed 3 million pounds from the British. We have reason to believe that in this war the British stood on the enemy's side."

Metternich has never had much interest in territorial expansion.This conservative politician believes that Austria is already big enough, and the domestic ethnic conflicts are even more troublesome, so he opposes continued expansion.

Based on this policy, Austria has hardly expanded its territory in the past few decades.

Franz doesn't look down on Metternich's political ideas, but his diplomatic hand is broken, that is another view.

The greatest diplomat of the 19th century is well-deserved, and the "European Prime Minister" and "Metternich Era" are the highest ratings given to him by the outside world.

The collapse of the Vienna system was not a diplomatic defeat, but more of it was Austria ’s poor strength and could not withstand the impact of the revolution.

At this time in history, Metternich had already stepped down. As a result, the British released a bunch of smoke bombs, successfully bewitching the Vienna government. If Marshal Radkis insisted, it is estimated that Lombardy and Venice were lost in 1848.

Felix said confidently: "There is no need to worry too much. Even if the British support the Kingdom of Sardinia, they will not be able to end in person without the support of European powers."

This is not pride, but a judgment based on the international situation and the strength of all parties.

In the history of Vienna, the government of Sardinia let go of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Apart from the intervention of Britain and France, the most important reason was that they worried that the French would enlarge the territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"Well, these things should be prepared in advance. The most important thing is the result of this war. If we can easily defeat the enemy, then the result will naturally be dominated by us!"

Franz poured a pot of cold water on the confident prime minister, and the war was not over, so arrogant, but it was not a good thing.

This is not to blame Felix. Austria is also a European power, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is just a small one. The difference in strength between the two sides is huge. It is normal to look down on them.

After a short pause, Metternich once again proposed: "His Royal Highness, the Russians have promised to help us suppress the rebellion. Do you want them to send troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion as soon as possible?"

Looking at the expression of everyone's intention, Franz shook his head.

"No! This is a domestic matter in Austria. If we let the Russians help us suppress the rebellion, in the days to come, we will have to rely on the Russians diplomatically.

The most difficult thing in the world is the human debt. The situation in Hungary is still within our tolerance. There is no need to involve the Russians.

However, it is okay for the Russians to make the illusion of sending troops to Hungary and shake the party ’s determination to resist."

It's two concepts to do appearance and actually end.If the Russians really sent troops to help Austria suppress the Hungarian rebellion, how would the future history books be recorded?

"Please invite foreign soldiers to suppress the revolution"?Isn't it a representative of the reactionaries?Do you want Franz's brilliant image?

It just doesn't matter if you act like it, scare the Hungarians and force them to divide their defense.

As a winner, Franz can write whatever he wants.If the future turned against Russia, he could even reverse the black and white saying: Under the leadership of the great Franz Emperor, he smashed the Russian conspiracy against the Hungarian region.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it. Europe also has regional blacks. Russia only integrated into European society after the anti-French war.

Flipping through the black history of the Russians and saying that they had misconducted against Hungary, Franz almost believed it unless he knew the truth.

"His Royal Highness, the news came from the front of Venice. The Kingdom of Sardinia is now very cautious. We did not risk our troops and attacked. Our enticement may fail.

Marshal Radkis let us send troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion as soon as possible. It is best to be able to quickly take advantage of the battlefield and force the Kingdom of Sardinia to take a risky battle."The Secretary of the Army said suddenly

Franz rubbed his forehead helplessly, historical data are deceiving, the fact that the Italian army's combat effectiveness is not true, but it does not mean that they are really easy to deal with, at least the current Sardinian kingdom is not so good to deal with.

Bardolio, the parallel marshal, knew that he was fighting steadily, and would rather bear greater losses and fight all the way. He didn't venture into the Venice area to fight the main battle of the Austrian army.

The pocket array that Marshal Radkis painstakingly arranged, the main force of the enemy simply did not come in.If you fight out now, you might be able to defeat the enemy, and you want to hit the enemy or destroy the enemy.

Originally, Franz was planning to suppress the Hungarian rebellion after defeating the Kingdom of Sardinia, which is obviously impossible.The Hungarians can only be operated first, forcing the Kingdom of Sardinia to send troops to a decisive battle.

Many people understand the truth of the cold, and if Austria is allowed to suppress the internal rebellion, then the kingdom of Sardinia will have no chance of winning.

"Expedite the preparations for the war. Once the preparation is completed, send troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion. How long will it take for the Prime Minister?" Franz asked doubtfully.

"Your Highness, the strategic materials are almost ready, and the military deployment is basically completed, except for a few newly established central provinces that require time to integrate.

As soon as next Saturday, May 5th, we can launch an attack!"Felix thought for a while and said
