Holy Roman Empire

Allies are not good. The major European powers are full of contradictions. Only one Austria can ally with it. Once the team stands, the rest is the enemy.

Perhaps Metternich saw the essence of the matter very early. After the Anti-French War, he actively shrunk Austria's sphere of influence, striving to balance the strength of European countries, and put Austria in a detached position.

In this era, these diplomatic measures were considered successful. The only thing that failed was the failure of internal reforms in Austria, which failed to keep up.

Without sufficient strength, it is naturally impossible to continue the Vienna system, and Austria has to make another decision.

"Wait first, look at the chips given by the British. If they continue to support the reunification of Italy, then the Kingdom of Sardinia cannot stay.

It ’s a big deal. We ’ll lose some money. Let ’s help the French manage their part.Wait until their domestic situation stabilizes, then sell them!"Franz said fiercely

On the issue of Italy, the French can undoubtedly be bought. They have long been eyeing the Italian region, but the strategic focus of Austria is simply not here, and there is no core conflict of interest between the two sides.

...

In the Kingdom of Sardinia, Charlie Albert has become an ant on the hot pot, and the development of the war is far from what he expected.

In the era of hot weapons, it is no longer possible to win wars by relying on more people.

Even the unprecedented outbreak of the Sardinian army, the local warrior spirit + 200%, still can not change the essence of the Ugly.

Coupled with insufficient weapons and ammunition, the equipment in the hands of many soldiers stays in the era of cold weapons, no matter how high the patriotic enthusiasm can not stop the bullets from flying.

"Your Majesty, let's go! The enemy is going to be under the city, and Turin can't keep it!"

The attributes of Prime Minister Azeri's loyalty broke out. After the defense line was lost, Charlie Albert was told to run.

There is no way, the Kingdom of Sardinia is not very large. Turin is more than 100 kilometers away from Milan. Once the frontline troops collapse, they can only prepare for the battle of Turin.

Charlie Albert said desperately: "No, I will not go anywhere, I will coexist and die with Turin!"

"Your Majesty, for the future of the Kingdom of Sardinia, you must leave here immediately." Army Secretary Li Qi persuaded with tears.

The monarch in continental Europe is also a huge bargaining chip. If King Charles-Albert is captured by the Austrian army, then the Kingdom of Sardinia is almost the same.

This is not to impose princes on ordering the princes, but to control the monarch and there are many articles that can be done, such as forcing Charlie-Albert to sign a series of traitor treaties, or even simply annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Even if other powers want to intervene, they have no bargaining chips, which is very detrimental to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Charlie-Albert growled: "Waste, rice buckets, idiots ... If you weren't your incompetent goods, how could we fail? Up to now, you don't think about how to retreat from the enemy, actually thinking of running ..."

Time passed by one minute and one second. After everyone's persuasion, Charlie Albert still ran away. Of course, this is related to the arrival of the Austrian pioneers under the city of Turin. No one knows.

When the British Foreign Secretary Palmerston arrived in Vienna, news of the Austrian army's capture of Turin also spread.

After sorting out the information in his hand, even Palmerston, who was in the chest, felt a headache for Sardinia.

The matter was beyond their expectations. According to the British plan, at this time, Austrian Ren was still competing with the Kingdom of Sardinia for the Lombardy region. At most, Austria had just recovered the lost ground.

But the performance of the Kingdom of Sardinia disappointed them. Perhaps it was the first national mobilization that drained their blood, and the army mobilized for the second time was giving away.

Especially the group of "patriots" and "Italian nationalists" originally thought they would fight the Austrian army in the end, and the final result told the world that the mouth guns were still mouth guns.

The loudest slogans are often the fastest deserters on the battlefield.Just after the battle started, people did not know where they went.

Charlie Albert put these people on the front line as cannon fodder, but did not expect that these people backhanded to the pit and gave the position directly to the Austrians.

This made Palmerston feel embarrassed. The Austrian army negotiated before the occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia and negotiated after the occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The price to be paid was quite different.

If it were not for the instability within France, Austria had no allies, and it was difficult to swallow the kingdom of Sardinia alone, he could just go home.

This worry did not last long, and the welcome banquet prepared for him by the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs began.

Berlin

After receiving diplomatic support from Austria, the bourgeois liberal government's arrogance rose once again. In their view, the entire German Confederation was behind it, and the Russians were not so terrible.

Don't look at the solidarity of the Danes with European countries. In fact, only the Russians will act. The purpose of the Swedes is only to ensure that the Danish kingdom is not destroyed, but there is no plan to help the Danes recover their lost ground.

Especially after seeing the French people's support for the Polish revolution, after the outbreak of the June uprising, the determination of the liberals to support Polish independence was once again firmed up.

Frederick-William IV couldn't help but let the liberals continue, and Russia and Russia would fight. Now 250,000 Russian troops have reached the border between Russia and Russia.

The tsarist government's patience with the Kingdom of Prussia has reached its limit, and any action that stimulates the Russians is unwise.

Before the Crimean War, Russia was famous on the European continent. It is not that the Kingdom of Prussia, which has not yet unified Germany, can be compared.

At his instigation, the Junk nobles who were hostile to the revolution formed the "Defense Property Alliance", and at the same time stepped up control of the army, looking for various excuses to clean up the Republicans in the army.

A counter-revolutionary coup is brewing within the Kingdom of Prussia.The bourgeois government without experience in struggle seems to know nothing about it, and it is still continuing to implement the idealized unified plan.

...

The Anglo-Austrian negotiations started, and Palmerston was worried that the Sardinian government would surrender to Austria, so their investment there would be sloppy.

After the greeting, Palmerston went straight to the theme: "Mr. Metternich, for the sake of world peace, we need the Austrian government to carefully handle the conflict with the Kingdom of Sardinia."

Mettenehaha smiled and said: "Mr. Palmerston, the conflict between us and the Kingdom of Sardinia will soon cease to exist. The Italian region will soon stabilize and your country need not worry at all."
