Holy Roman Empire

"The enemy has five divisions." Marshal Bardolio's first reaction was that the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and this judgment was soon overturned.

The main force of the Austrian army is in Hungary. The traffic in the Hungarian area is not very good this year. It is not so simple to want to send the troops of the five divisions from Hungary to Trento.

Use the train?Hasn't the railway from Hungary been repaired yet?

Or is it cavalry?In terms of time, the cavalry can indeed come over within a week.

But this is unreasonable in the military. Unless the brain of the Vienna government is flooded, the cavalry of the five divisions will be sent to Trento!

Marshal Bardolio is not without doubt that the front-line officers lied about the military situation, but this can defeat the three Sardinian enemies in one night. No matter how they look, the enemy's strength cannot be less!

"Does the enemy have too much force to mobilize?" Marshal Bardolio asked suspiciously.

"No, except on May 18, when they sent two regiments to strengthen Trento, there was no longer a large army mobilization." Chief of Staff Outlet replied affirmatively

It is simply impossible to draw troops from the Venice area. Austria ’s total strength here is less than 100,000. If the five infantry divisions are drawn from it, the defense line is already empty. How can it be possible to hide their eyes?

After a moment of silence, Marshal Bardolio smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid the enemy's reinforcements have arrived.

Perhaps the reinforcements along the way in Hungary were just a cover of the enemy. They were deliberately used to induce us to be fooled. The real reinforcements still came from Austria.

The Republic of Hungary is just a group of people, and the Austrian government does not need to mobilize so many troops to suppress the rebellion.

I am afraid that the enemy has been bluffing from the beginning. The old fox of Ladkis deliberately made an illusion of lack of strength, which tempted us to win.

There are no 400,000 troops sent by Austria to suppress the revolution. A large part of these troops are directed at us."

After listening to the Marshal's brain supplement, everyone's face changed greatly, this is the most reasonable explanation.

They don't think that the three Sardinians can do more than the three Austrian regiments. If the difference in strength between the two sides is so great, the war will be over.

Everyone has political wisdom. Pit teammates are the most commonly used diplomatic means. In order to let them send troops to Venice as soon as possible, it is normal for them not to tell them this news.

Outlet said anxiously: "Marshal, Austria is also a big European country after decay. If the Vienna government is willing, it will not be a problem to invest 20,000 or 300,000 troops in the Venice area.

If the number of enemy reinforcements cannot be ascertained, we may suffer a great loss in the battles that follow!"

This is a very real question. How did Austria send troops to Trento without knowing it?What is the number of support troops?

Weaponry and firepower configuration are all things that they need to understand immediately.

Marshal Bardolio thought for a while and said, "Immediately send someone to investigate the enemy's strength. It is impossible for so many troops to hide, and they will always leave traces."

After a pause, he pointed to the hapless guard who reported the military situation, and asked angrily: "Idiot, how are the casualties of our army?"

The named unlucky egg guard responded with turmoil: "Marshal, the three divisions participating in the battle of Trento have all been hit hard, casualties are still being counted, and preliminary estimates are that the loss of personnel will not be less than 10,000 ...

Hearing the specific loss figures and the discoloration of all people's faces, this means that for a long period of time in the future, the troops of these three divisions have lost their fighting power.

"Marshal, since the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, it is almost impossible for us to conquer Venice. It is better to stop the attack and first save the results in our hands!"

They really don't want to fight, the Austrian army is not as wasteful as politicians describe it, but it is still very powerful.

From the outbreak of the Battle of Venice to the present, they have not taken much advantage.At this time the enemy reinforcements arrived, and their strengths no longer existed, and the battle became even more incapable of fighting.

Marshal Bardolio thought for a while and said, "Order the troops to stop the offensive and turn into defense on the spot.

General Mantua, you led the 4th, 5th and 8th divisions to the Ala area to arm and watch the enemies of Trento.

The deployment of troops in other regions remains the same, everyone will perform their duties, and the rest will be reported to the country. Let's wait for the domestic orders!"

The Sardinians have been completely biased, and the Austrian reinforcements have indeed arrived in the Venice area, but instead of going to Trento, they rushed to Vicenza.

In order to evade responsibility, General Messer lied about the military situation and made Sardinian Command make a wrong military deployment, using a large number of mobile forces to defend the main force of Austria, which does not exist in Trento.

At this time, Lieutenant General Messi naturally did not care so much, he was busy catching Zhuang Ding to make up for the shortage of troops.

There was no way. After the enemy's raid, many of his troops were broken up. Everyone was in a hurry to escape, and no one could care about gathering the broken soldiers.

After running to Bergamo, the strength of his three divisions added up, and he couldn't find a full editor.Messer dared not report these circumstances.

In order not to wear help, Messi reluctantly chose to pull the number of people. Anyway, it is now in the war period, and he will fight a few battles later, he can smooth the loss.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is not so clear-cut, Messer is also the heir to King Charles-Albert. As long as it is passable, everyone will pass with one eye closed.

Walking on the streets of Bergamo and looking at the hairy eyes of the people, Sizer only felt horrified, and daringly proposed: "General, the situation here is wrong, I am afraid it is not a place to stay!"

Lieutenant Messer's performance was much stronger, he sneered and said, "What do you want? A bunch of untouchables, are you worried?"

Popularity?This thing no longer exists. The troops retreated to Bergamo, and military discipline disappeared.

Suffocating the Sardinian soldiers, I vented here. For example, I kindly greeted the young women in the city and charged a labor fee when I left.

This is also the tradition of Europe. For thousands of years, the armed forces of various countries have robbed part-time while fighting.Although the Sardinian army has transformed into a modern army, these bad habits are still preserved.

In the eyes of a young nobleman like Sizer, it is still somewhat difficult to accept, but for Messer who has participated in the anti-French war, it does not matter at all.

Cizer said embarrassedly: "But if we do this general, will there be any trouble in the reunification of Italy in the future? If those parliamentarians talk about these issues, I am afraid ...

Messer patted Sitzer on the shoulder and sighed, "Sizil, you think too much.

Not to mention whether we can unify Italy, even if we really unify Italy, no one will remember these things.

Do n’t forget that the right to speak is always in the hands of a few people.We, the nobles and capitalists, have not moved, as long as they do not hate us!"

There is no doubt that this battle has defeated Messer's heart, and he has completely lost faith in this war.

At this time, what he thought was not how to win the war, but was trying to escape the punishment to avoid liquidation after the war.

This is a society where morals are lost and money is paramount. There is nothing that money cannot solve. Even if there is, then there must be not enough money!

General Messer is not the coach, even if he needs a scapegoat for defeat, he is not qualified.Now, a huge sum of money will be searched, and it will be taken back to the country to carry out activities, and the responsibility for defeat will be thrown out. Undoubtedly, it can be the best choice for its own interests.

The people of Bergamo unfortunately fell victim and fully felt what "the warmth of the Kingdom of Sardinia".
