Holy Roman Empire

Turin

Since the French government announced the identity of the murderer, the Sardinian government has panicked.This is where people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

One of them was counted. They all dared to swear in the name of God. This assassination has nothing to do with them.

Even if it were to be assassinated, what would it be to assassinate Franz and ran to assassinate Napoleon III?

King Vittorio Emanuele asked anxiously: "Prime Minister, has the Frenchman released the murderer information?"

Gafur replied with a haggard expression: "It has been found that they are all radical nationalists in the Italian region. Their assassination of Napoleon III seems to be in order to provoke the Fao conflict.

These four people had already joined the New Holy Roman Empire nationality before the operation, and even one of them was once a public official of the Lombard Kingdom."

It ’s time to blame and blame!If during the period of deteriorating French-Austrian relations, the Paris government can regard it as true whether it is true or not.

Apparently these assassins were not professional enough and did not choose the right time to anger the French.

It is a pity that France and Austria have not yet reached their turn.Under the Vienna system, where did the Parisian government come to provoke war?

From the interest point of view, it is not a day or two for the French to seek expansion in Italy.At this time the excuse was sent to the door, and the trouble of the kingdom of Sardinia came.

After pondering for a while, Vittorio Emanuele said helplessly: "I hope this fool can hold on and kill the Austrians, otherwise our trouble will be greater."

It is not that they do not want to conspire with the French and target Austria together, but that this possibility is almost zero.

Historically, after Prime Minister Cavour persuaded Napoleon III, he could not believe it for a long time.

The situation is even worse now, Austria is much stronger than in history.Whether it is the Vienna system that maintains European stability or the still solid Russian-Austrian alliance, the French dare not act rashly.

Garfur analyzed: "Your Majesty, neither the British nor the Austrians will watch the French continue to expand. We can ask them for help."

There was a bit of tiredness between Meiyu, and there was a deep sorrow.Obviously, for this assassination, he spent a lot of energy to find a way to break the game.

There is no eternal enemy in politics, only eternal interests.To unify the Italian region, Austria is their biggest enemy; to resist the French invasion, Austria has become their ally.

Both France and Austria have the ambition to dominate the Italian region, and formally relying on the mutual containment of the two countries, the Kingdom of Sardinia has survived.

Under normal circumstances, the Italian region will never have a chance to unify, and France and Austria will not tolerate the unification of the Italian region.

The extraction of Napoleon III made the greatness of Cavour.In fact, it was an adventure in history, and Cavour would not betray the kingdom of Sardinia in the bet of France and Austria.

Now he dare not gamble, the international situation has changed, and the relationship between France and Austria has heated up.In order to stabilize the French, Franz made up the two countries to divide the secret contract of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and even a sword hanging over their heads.

Palace of Versailles

Napoleon III was in a very bad mood. This assassination was not just as simple as being announced to the outside world.

According to the information collected, it is proved that some people in the country have provided convenience to the assassin, otherwise these amateur players will have difficulty in mastering his whereabouts.

Napoleon III asked, "Has the black hand behind the scene dug out?"

Police Minister Mopa replied: "Your Majesty, the enemy is very cunning. The assassins did not know they were being used. Their intelligence was bought from a man named Sobolev.

This person has disappeared, and their knowledge is very coincidental. They were first encountered in a tavern in Paris.

We checked the relevant personnel and found no suspicious signs.Sobolev may be a fake name, and he has no other information than a deal with an assassin."

Napoleon III scolded: "Waste! Do you just want to tell me that the domestic enemy accidentally encountered four stupid people, and then used them as an assassin?"

"Your Majesty, this is the case!" Mopa answered honestly.

Coincidentally, the reality is often more bizarre than the novel.The assassination was originally a coincidence, and the so-called behind-the-scenes man was simply a temporary intent.

Napoleon III shook his hand and said: "Continue to check, no matter what method you use, I must also find out this sudden Sobolev to me."

Regardless of whether there are black hands behind the scenes, this missing Sobolev is a threat.The most indispensable thing in this world is the second middle school boy. Napoleon III did not want to be assassinated every day.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mopa replied

Quitting his anger, Napoleon III was considering how to use this incident to maximize his profits.

"Assassins are of Austrian nationality. If we use this as an excuse, how about holding the Vienna government accountable?"

Foreign Minister Auvergne vaguely objected: "Your Majesty, can we ask the Austrians what they want?"

This is the key to the problem-interests.

Blackmail also has to be divided into targets. If the Vienna government does not buy the bill, can it not be used as a reason?

Unless there is evidence that the assassination was planned by the Vienna government, international pressure can be used to force the Austrians to pay the price.

Obviously, the evidence is not enough, even if one of the assassins was once a public official in the Kingdom of Lombardy, this is not enough to testify against the Vienna government.

From the motive of committing the crime, the suspect of the Vienna government has been ruled out.For no reason, he ran to assassinate a country's emperor, and no one believed it.

Napoleon III wanted to strike Austria, does not mean that he did not consider the consequences at all.At present, the two countries still have unnecessary contradictions in cooperation. From the standpoint of interests, neither side is suitable for turning over.

For the same reason, targeting the Kingdom of Prussia and Belgium will not work.There is not enough evidence in hand, just rely on stolen goods to blame and find fault, in case of wearing help, things will go wrong.

Would you like to use this opportunity to have a major cleansing in China?The idea just rose, and Napoleon III strangled it again.

The economic crisis continues, and the domestic situation must remain stable.Provoking internal struggle at this time can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.

After hesitating again and again, Napoleon III said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note to the Kingdom of Sardinia to hold them accountable for this incident."

Pinching soft persimmons is only one aspect, and more of these assassins are members of Italian radical nationalist groups that have received funding from the Sardinian government.

It's far-fetched to say that the assassination was planned by an Italian nationalist group, and the Sardinian government can't blame it.Finding trouble on this ground will not cause interference from all countries.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Foreign Minister Auvergne replied

The Minister of the Interior, Pesini, said: "Your Majesty, it is best to attach the criminal's confession to prove that the assassination was planned by the Italian militant group, and that the Sardinian government provided evidence for the militant group to provide gold fees.

It is more convincing to give these things to the Sardinian government together.

At the same time, we can also seek international support, use the assassination to resonate with everyone, and take the initiative in diplomacy.

The Austrians had promised to support the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and now it is time for them to fulfill their promises."

The more abundant the evidence, the stronger the persuasion, the more you can get the support of public opinion, and the more benefits you can get.

Napoleon III said happily: "Do you mean that the Vienna government will support our annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia?"

Pesini said without hesitation: "No. At this time, unlike in the past, if it was the period of the German Unity War, in order to obtain our support, the Vienna government will naturally not mind us annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Now that the German region has been divided into three, the Vienna government no longer needs our support, and their promises will naturally not count.

However, they will not object to our expansion into the Kingdom of Sardinia. Even the Vienna government hopes that our actions will be more intense, so as to intensify the conflict between Britain and France."

Napoleon III nodded his head. Since the War of Osage, Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia have been in a political cold war. The Kingdom of Sardinia has no interest in Austria.

On the contrary, the British's power expanded rapidly in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Once the French took action against the Kingdom of Sardinia, the British suffered the greatest loss.

If we can make Britain and France turn their faces, what is a Sardinian kingdom?
