Chapter 119 Hongmen Banquet

The meeting between Franz and Alexander still achieved constructive results, and Russian-Austrian relations quickly began to heat up, because of the small conflicts caused by the Putin war, which disappeared.

Sardinia

The Austrian army is packing up, the armistice treaty has been signed, half of the war compensation has been paid, the rest is also guaranteed by the British government, and the time to withdraw the troops has also arrived.

Franz didn't mean to be reckless. If possible, he didn't mind withdrawing the troops immediately. The army was very expensive.

However, since the occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia once, the Austrian army could not go for nothing.It ’s impossible for Qiu to make no mistake. Almost all the soldiers are now fully loaded.

If there are too many loot items, it will be very troublesome to carry them. If you sell them on the spot, in the Kingdom of Sardinia, which has just been baptized by war, you can't sell them at all, and some products cannot even be found by buyers.

Marshal Radsky is a good marshal. In order to protect the interests of everyone, he immediately decided to send the troops back to the country for sale, and then everyone will divide the money.

...

In the industrial area of ​​Turin, a major officer was commanding: "Tom is careful. These machines are pimples. It is said that they are worth ten thousand dongs. You can't turn it into scrap iron. Then we can't make enough freight. ! "

"Relax, major. These baby bumps, I dare not make them broken." Tom replied

Bandits live like combs, soldiers live like grate.

Since the Vienna government decided to abandon the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Austrian army has fully exerted its subjective initiative and started a journey of making money.

Of course, ordinary people are too lazy to snatch them, they can't squeeze out oil and water, and they waste time.

Robbing a nobleman, or a capitalist, is more rewarding than robbing a village. This multiple choice question is easy to do.

Marshal Radsky managed the army strictly. Everyone made a fortune, and each unit was divided into regions, and they began to act.

This is also a test of professional knowledge. The European army has always had a tradition of robbery, and the Sardinian kingdom has been patronized by the French army many times in the anti-French war.

In the process of robbery and being robbed, everyone also learned to hide wealth.

Don't worry about real estate and land. These real estate that can't be taken away are very safe. Everyone should be careful how to hide cash, antiques and paintings that are easy to carry.

The nobles and capitalists are not stupid. They hide their goods before the enemy arrives. Anyway, as long as they do not resist, the army usually only robs and does not kill.

How much you can hide is your own skill. Experienced people all know that you must hide the most valuable part of the goods and leave a part of the cash outside for the robbery of the big soldiers.

If all are hidden, most of them will have nowhere to go, and how can soldiers be willing to give up if they have not harvested at all?Anxious, what if people are forced to confess?

Torture is not a patent of Li Zicheng. Many people have done this kind of thing, but others are not as fierce as he did.

A person with such a temperament like Franz would naturally not let the Austrian army do such a thing without technical content.

Before the operation, people were sent to train the soldiers a long time ago. For example, the cultural relics in antique calligraphy and paintings must be carefully kept, and the mechanical equipment should be handled with care.

What basement, dark pavilion, empty wall, new ground ... These places where goods may be hidden are the objects of the key search.

Nothing is afraid of specialization, and the fighting power of a quality robbery team is leveraged. This is no spoil.

At this time, the Sardinian kingdom has not yet penetrated the railway to Austria, and transportation mainly depends on human and animal power. This speed is naturally not fast.

Since August, the Austrian army has begun to transport these belongings to the country, and it is still working hard.

A soldier reported: "Major, we found a warehouse with a lot of triticale, which is said to have been stored here by a grain merchant."

The major officer frowned, and hesitated and said, "We have seized a lot of food in front of us, and we are about to evacuate right now, and we can't eat it at all. We will leave it there and wait for the order. "

Austria has no shortage of food, and it costs a lot to transport it back from the Kingdom of Sardinia. It simply does not make a few dollars, and it is a trophy with no value.

...

Marshal Radsky, the supreme command of the Expeditionary Force, has received too many reports of seizing basic materials such as grain, coal, ore, and industrial raw materials.

For Austria, these things are completely tasteless, and it is not profitable to ship them back.

Left to the Sardinian government, he was not reconciled.After this battle, the relations between the two countries should not be normalized for decades, and weakening the national power of the Kingdom of Sardinia is more in the interest of Austria.

Do you want to destroy it?Marshal Radsky hesitated.

"Marshal, why don't you sell this material cheaply to the merchant?" Admiral Edmund Leopold Friedrich suggested

Robbery should also be divided into objects. Naturally, foreign businessmen such as Britain and France are not within the scope of looting.Of course, this is limited to big businessmen with backstage, and small businessmen will grab it.

After the Austrian army occupied the Kingdom of Sardinia, there were businessmen who wanted to buy the loot of the Austrian army. But because the bid was too low, Marshal Radsky did not want to lose this money and chose to ship it back to China to sell it.

Marshal Radsky hesitated for a moment and said, "Then sell it!"

Who can't live with anyone, can't live with money.So many basic materials, no matter how cheap, add up to a large number.

What will happen if these materials fall into the hands of these foreign businessmen, Marshal Radsky is too lazy to think about it, anyway, it will not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

...

Inside the Stephen ’s Cathedral in Vienna, a religious feast is taking place, and Pope Pius IX personally “attends” this meeting.

It is true that he attended the meeting. Although he was the leader of the religious world, the tiger fell into Pingyang. Although he had not reached the point of being bullied by dogs, he also lost his authority to speak.

Faced with the conditions that the Austrian had issued, he really could not find a reason to refuse.

The headquarters of the Holy See fell, and in order to recapture the headquarters, it was a matter of course to sell part of the teaching assets to raise military expenses.

Who dares to object is that the faith in God is not religious enough.Clergy who are ungodly in religious belief are not qualified to continue to serve God.

This is just the view of Pius IX. In the eyes of many Austrian bishops, this is very unreasonable.There are so many industries in the Holy See. Why should they sell their properties?

"Don't be noisy, this is an order. If anyone opposes the recapture of the Holy Land, I will dismiss his bishop position now!" Pius IX threatened

It is estimated that the dismissal is only the first step.

They are not Protestants and can use the Pope's orders as toilet paper.Nor is he a prince, he can directly lead his soldiers to Rome and threaten the pope to revoke the order.

There is no shortage of people blinded by interests in this world. Bishop Monterey is one of them.

Unlike the veteran bishops who had already been fished out, he had only just come to power.For this position, Monterey has caught up with all his net worth, but hasn't had time to return?

At this time, it is necessary to sell the teaching assets on a large scale, is this not to break his financial path?

A glance at the audience saw that all the bishops were angry, and his courage came up.

This is not the Middle Ages, why is the Pope so coquettish?

"His Majesty the Pope, the clergy will also have to eat. If we sell the teaching property, what shall we eat?" Monterey asked.

"As a servant of God, it is not that we are greedy for pleasure. The income of the church is enough to maintain the life of the clergy." Pius IX said indifferently

The church is not without business. In a country with a strong faith, such as Austria, there is no shortage of believers to raise money.

Monterey continued to argue: "However, His Majesty the Pope, the church also needs to run. If funding is insufficient, we will not be able to guarantee that the people's faith will not be reduced."

Pius IX said piously: "As a devout believer, you must overcome these difficulties. If your child does not have the ability to assume this responsibility, let the capable person do it!"

The person who was originally prepared to speak out to help quickly chose to shut up.This is obviously because the Austrian government is eyeing the wealth of the church, and Pius IX has sold them to regain the Papal State.

Not to mention the removal of a bishop, even removing them all is a minor problem.Without the divine aura, they are not opponents of the government.

Seeing the original bishops who were filled with indignation, they were quiet, and Monterey knew he was finished.

Accidentally, it became the chicken in the killing monkey.At this time, he had no courage to explain.

If you plead guilty, you can still take the blame. If you continue to fight, the dead will be considered light. If you fail, the whole family will be unlucky.

Don't think that there will be no ties in Europe. Even if you can't get the ties of the nine ancestors, it's indispensable to hit his family.

Looking at Monterey who pleaded guilty, Pius IX was satisfied with his Liwei.

After no one objected, Prime Minister Felix was invited out.

Under the testimony of God, the Austrian government represented by the Holy See on behalf of Pius IX and Felix signed an agreement on the transfer of educational property.
