Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 373 When Selling Teammates

In Venice, high-level Hungarian independent organizations gathered to make final preparations for the uprising.No, to be precise, it is the final preparation for running.

Performing a full set of dramas, the words of fame and fortune in life can't escape.

"Lee" Stephen and others have already recovered almost enough to make them spend the rest of their lives comfortably. The most important thing now is to keep their reputation.

Others can be traitors, and these top executives of independent organizations cannot do anything, or let people know that they are traitors.

Otherwise, how can Americans who contribute money contribute to letting them go?Now their family business is in the United States, and the missionaries cannot run the church.

Stephen said, "The ship has been booked. Once the uprising fails, we will immediately go to Albania, and then enter Greece by land, then take the Ottoman Empire from the Persian Gulf to Asia, and then transfer to Japan to San Francisco.

Somra asked questioningly: "Mr. Stephen, why did you go around such a big circle? The Austrians have promised that they will only pursue a symbolic pursuit, and we can go directly to the United States by boat."

Stephen explained: "Yes, the Austrians promised to let us go, but what if there was an accident?

The things that let us leave are highly confidential. The Mediterranean region is full of activities of the Austrian navy. What if we are caught out of luck?

In order to reduce the risk, we had to bypass.The best choice is to enter the Balkan Peninsula from a fishing boat that nobody pays attention to from Venice, and leave from an area not covered by Austrian forces."

In order to make the performance more realistic, Stephen is also fighting.The younger brothers must not be out of luck. These bosses have nothing to do with them. They only have to show their fleeing.

Paul echoed: "Mr. Stephen is right. You must be cautious at this time. Returning to the United States as soon as possible is not necessarily a good thing. Now the Civil War is about to come to an end.

If the federal government wins, it ’s okay. If they lose the war, it ’s necessary for countries to intervene to keep the regime.

In that case, in order to seek help from various countries, the Lincoln government will most likely hand over all of us revolutionary organizations.

For security reasons, it is best to wait for the matter to end before returning to the United States."

Everyone's face changed drastically. If the Americans were really soft to European countries and surrendered all members of the revolutionary organizations in the country, their family business in the United States would be gone.

Seeing everyone's concerns, Stephen comforted: "Don't worry, as long as we are still on the wanted order, no one dares to move everyone's property."

No one dares to snatch the money of the desperate.This means that there is life, but not life.

...

Otko, the rising star of the Hungarian independent organization.He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, participated in the Civil War, and served as the battalion commander.

On the battlefield, it became famous for its daring to fight and kill.The gangsters of the Hungarian Independent Organization are morally noble persons who do not admire the glory. The heavy responsibility of directing the Venice uprising fell on him.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers under his command, Autoco was full of enthusiasm.The only pity is the lack of weapons. According to Mr. Stephen, it is for safety.

After all, it was on the territory of the Austrians. If there were thousands of armed men, the local garrison would have been killed.

Otko feels very reasonable, the Austrian system is already very strict.Although there is no comprehensive ban on firearms, there are also a large number of firearms, but most of them are shotguns.

The rifle of Zhenger Bajing still needs to be filed in the police station and apply for a gun license.

Not everyone can get a permit, at least none of them are eligible.

It is very easy to buy guns in Austria, there are no fewer than ten gun shops in Venice, and artillery can be sold.The colonial empire, how to mix overseas colonial teams without weapons?

But weapons are easy to buy, and ammunition is not easy to handle.

If it is used for overseas colonization, it does not matter how much it is needed; if it is used in the local area, you can only hold a gun license and apply for bullets at the local police station.

The government severely cracks down on the existence of all privately-made weapons and ammunition, and smuggling of arms. When trading arms in the underground black market, the police have the right to kill all participants.

After a long time, everyone gets used to it. If you want to play with weapons, go directly to the hunting ground or the club. As long as you have money and cannons, you can play.

There is absolutely no need to carry his head to the black market, in case he is killed as an arms dealer, but there is nowhere to go.

Without a market, there is no trading.

It is impossible to buy weapons and ammunition used by thousands of people.Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Altco, has only ten guns in hand, including eight shotguns and two old-style revolvers.

This is sponsored by the local Italians who are inclined to revolution, and there is no way to get more, only to take it from the enemy after the uprising broke out.

On February 1, 1865, in the headquarter of the Uprising Army, several young teenagers were making plans for battle.

Do n’t look down on them when they are young, they can be taken lightly. These people are the few military talents in the independent Hungarian organization, and most of them have participated in the Civil War.

If the situation is not critical, the Federal Army will not let people go, and everyone knows how many Americans are now missing officers.

Otko opened a sketch and said: "This is the information provided by Mr. Amko. Although Austria is allowed to hold a gun, the ammunition control is very strict.

All weapons and equipment stores have no ammunition.Only hunting grounds, firearm clubs, police stations, and local garrisons have enough ammunition.

The garrison didn't need to think about it, but with these guns in our hands, it was estimated that they could not reach their gates, and they were suppressed.

The hunting ground is far away from the city, we can't rush to tens of miles to grab weapons, and then hurried back to start the uprising.

The ammunition reserve in the firearms club should not be much. Their ammunition also comes from the police station, and it will be replenished once every two or three days, which cannot meet our needs.

To succeed in the uprising, we must first take down the police station and grab enough ammunition."

Having said this, Otko was very depressed.The ammunition depot in Venice was actually next door to the naval base, and it was impossible to take it.

In other words, even if it is captured, it is useless. Within the coverage of the naval artillery, they will be finished without waiting for them to remove the ammunition.

"Venice is not suitable for initiating an uprising. You have to take a boat when you go out. There is simply no way for these boats to give full play to our human advantages.

With these few guns in our hands, it is almost impossible to capture the police station.Even the Chengbei branch with the fewest numbers is not something we can win.

Moreover, these Italian mercenaries are unreliable, and if something goes wrong, they are likely to run away."

The young man who raised the objection was named Tuft. He also participated in the Civil War and had certain military knowledge.

It ’s just that he is too honest and has been marginalized in revolutionary organizations.If it weren't for the uprising to be too important, he would have military capabilities and he would not have his place in the headquarters.

Otko explained patiently: "Militaryally, Venice is really not suitable for initiating an uprising. Even if it is occupied here, this city on the water is still under the threat of the Austrian navy.

But we must do this politically, and the military must serve politics.To achieve a shocking effect, the organization decided to launch the uprising in Milan and Venice at the same time.

Once the revolutions in these two cities succeed, the Lombardy and Venetian regions will be shaken, and the entire Austrian Italian region will be independent.

Use the independence of the Italian region to attract the attention of the Vienna government and provide cover for the uprising in the Hungarian region.

It is impossible for the Austrians to shell Venice in the first time of the uprising. This is our chance.As long as this time difference is used to integrate a revolutionary army, the war can be burned to the interior.

The greater the momentum created in Italy, the higher the success rate of our uprisings in Hungary.So from the beginning, this uprising had no strategic goals.

We just need to create a greater momentum to disturb the Venetian region and entrap more people into the rebel army. It is not important to win or lose.Even if the uprising failed, the Italians died."

Everyone is still very satisfied with this explanation. Since I was a child, I grew up in the United States. Naturally, everyone is also affected. I think politics is higher than military.

As everyone knows, before seizing power, this sequence was reversed.Only if the military wins first will there be room for political play.

The last uprising failed. The dead were all Italians, leaving Taft speechless.

Stephen did not order them to fight blood to the end, telling them from the beginning: to engage in things in the Italian region just to slap things up and provide cover for the Hungarian uprising.

As soon as the momentum is created, it attracts the eyes of the enemy, and the final result of the uprising is within the organization's consideration.

Almost bluntly telling them to run away after the uprising failed, this Italian mercenary can be used as abandonment.

Otherwise, Otko could not be so relaxed.Expecting a group of Uzbekistans to overthrow Austria's local rule, isn't that the brain water?
