Holy Roman Empire

In Paris, Napoleon III has been smashed by this stuffed cake falling from the sky.

The diplomatic situation in France has always been bad, and European countries are repelling them indiscriminately, and many activities simply do not take them to play.

Among the four major European powers, they are the ones with the lowest political influence. With a slightly outrageous move, the neighbors, as if they were the enemy, are immediately preparing for war.

After the succession of Napoleon III, many efforts were made to improve the diplomatic environment, but the results were still minimal.

Governments of various countries have spoken very well, but they still have to take strict precautions against them in actual actions.Especially after the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, a joint defense alliance appeared directly.

At first, Napoleon III was still a little worried, for fear of another anti-French alliance.As time went on, he got used to it.

It is better to take precautions. Anyway, these countries dare not take the leap.These actions of the neighbors just proved the strength of France from the side.

The emperor has been doing it for a long time and has been touted for a long time.

As time went on, Napoleon III's ambitions grew day by day. Fortunately, the Near East War France did not win, otherwise he would be more powerful.

In the face of the joint defense of all countries, Napoleon III did not dare to mess up.He knew it at this point.

In order to break the game, Napoleon III also made a lot of efforts, for example: to maintain a good relationship with the British Olympics as much as possible.

Salivating over the Rhineland region, Napoleon III restrained his desire and did not do it; he was also able to hold back at the Italian region.

The lessons left by his uncle told him that the anti-French coalition would really kill people.Without a reasonable excuse, as long as France expands on the European continent, it will incur joint boycotts from various countries.

The kingdom of Sardinia was killed by itself, no one can say anything.Now several states in Italy are seen by Austria, and there is no room for them to intervene.

Without Francesco II ’s telegram for help, and no excuse for interference, now Napoleon III can only sit on the sidelines.

Napoleon said enthusiastically: "The opportunity is coming, which one of our troops is available, and dispatch to the two Sicilian Kingdoms as soon as possible. If Austria sends troops to suppress the rebellion, there is no room for us to intervene."

There is no doubt that Gabori's rebel army was directly ignored by him.In the impression of Napoleon III, the fighting power of the Italian army was only 5, and the fighting power of the rebels was even less than 5.

In the face of the absolute strength gap, even if it is taken lightly, the problem is not big.

The two Sicilian kingdoms are close at hand, and the French can put in enough power to destroy any rebels.

In the original time and space, the Red Shirts led by Gabor and the secret support of the Kingdom of Sardinia. At this time, the Kingdom of Sardinia has become ancient, and naturally will not support him.

If the US federal government counts, Gabor also has supporters.It's just that the supporter is still licking the wound. It was when he was a low-key man, he was unable to support them, and he dare not support them.

The Secretary of the Army, Edmund Lubbov, replied: "Your Majesty, the third, fourth, seventh, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, cavalry, and other divisions of the infantry can be mobilized. . "

It can be seen that Edmund-Lebov is very familiar with France's military deployment, and he has spoken out the mobile force in one breath.

France is now in its heyday, and a large number of mobile troops are maintained in the peaceful years.If war breaks out, they can easily mobilize millions of troops.

One or two divisions were sufficient to interfere in the civil war between the two Sicilian kingdoms, and the number of Gaborian rebels is now only 30,000 or 40,000.

Napoleon III immediately ordered: "Let the fourth, seventh, ninth and fifteenth divisions form an interference army, appoint Marshal Patrice McMahon as commander, and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible.

The navy dispatched fleets to escort, and at the same time blocked the coastline of the two Sicilian kingdoms, and prohibited any ship from landing in the rebel control area."

The four infantry divisions were mobilized at once, obviously not just to help suppress the rebellion.The rebels are not worthy of Napoleon III's attention, but more in response to the possible outbreak of the conflict between France and Austria.

This time it was equivalent to France reaching into Austria's back garden. It was normal for the Vienna government to react excessively.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Army Secretary Edmund Lubbov replied

This result hurt Abraham, the foreign minister.Interfering in the civil war between the two Sicilian kingdoms will not only cause dissatisfaction in Austria, but also make the British and Spaniards unhappy.

The Spaniards have ignored it for now, they don't have the energy to manage so much now.However, the reactions in London and Vienna cannot be ignored. In case of a chain reaction, it will be troublesome.

Foreign Minister Abraham reminded: "Your Majesty, the issue of interfering in the civil war between the two Sicily kingdoms, I am afraid that we will have to take a long-term plan. Now, if we jump in, we will be under great international pressure."

This is inevitable. It is conceivable that as soon as the French army enters the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Inoue ’s protest letter will appear in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What kind of consequences it will cause is not yet known, and there will be no good things anyway.

In the current international situation, France spreads its influence to the Kingdom of the Two Sicily at most, and in fact the benefits it can obtain are very small.

It is impossible to talk about annexation.Francesco II's telegram for assistance only provided an excuse for France to intervene in the internal affairs of the two Sicilian kingdoms, and it was equivalent to giving them the possibility of annexing the two Sicilian kingdoms.

It is very difficult to annex a country on the European continent. A good thing like the Kingdom of Sardinia cannot be encountered every day.

Moreover, the same excuses can only be used once, repeated use will be useless.

Napoleon III said confidently: "Don't worry, this time Francesco II invited us to pass, even if governments are upset, they will not forcefully intervene.

The only thing we have to face is the Austrians. The Vienna government will not fight against us for the sake of a kingdom of two Sicily, right?"

The Kingdom of Two Sicily is the largest state in Italy and the poorest country in Italy.It seems that this is not a small market, but in fact the purchasing power is very low.

Grain is basically self-sufficient and the demand for industrial and commercial products is very small.With Austria, the largest trading partner, the total annual import and export trade will not exceed three million Aegis.

Apart from the strategic value, the two Sicilian kingdoms have nothing.However, this strategic value is also very tasteless for Austria.

Sicily is right in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, but the forces of all parties gather, and Austria has no way to directly occupy it.

Even if a naval base is left, it is still useless.To the east is the Royal Navy's Mediterranean military base-Machel, and to the west is the French naval base.

Putting the Austrian navy between these two makes people feel unreliable.

Even if you ignore these two naval powers, what can you do?Does Austria dare to block the Mediterranean Sea? This is something the British dare not do!

So the Vienna government made the most sensible choice and left Sicily alone.Now Austria is not stationing troops on this little brother's land, only a little economic benefit.

This point of interest can also be ignored in essence.Originally a poor ghost, don't you want to blow out oil?

Napoleon III thought that he had sent the interfering army to the two Sicilian kingdoms at the fastest speed.At the same time, the Austrian intervention army also set off.

...

On February 11, 1866, the Austrian Intervention Army was in Gaeta, and the French had arrived here one day earlier because of the distance.

The war of rebellion has not yet begun, and the smell of gunpowder between the French and Austrian armies first became stronger.If both sides are not restraining themselves, it is possible that the two units will fight first.

Francesco II, who had just fled from Naples and took refuge here, fully felt what a Shurachang was.

At the military meeting, the French and Austrian officers did not have a good face with each other.Sincere cooperation, do not dream.

Since the two phases are disgusted, they will fight each other. Anyway, they do not take the rebels into consideration, and each has the strength to crush the rebels.

Francesco II was embarrassed and was caught between France and Austria. He was walking on a tightrope, and if it didn't fall well, it would be over.

In fact, when Francesco II asked the French for help, a minister reminded him.It is a political taboo to sway while standing in line.

Don't know what happened, Francesco II's head took a whirlwind, and whimsically thought that letting the two countries of France and Austria contain each other can maximize the protection of the interests of the two Sicilian kingdoms.

The reality tells him that he is thinking too much.The powers all want to eat meat, and it's the same everywhere they go.

Franz has always paid more attention to eating, and the two sides have always been fair trade, and did not squeeze the two kingdoms of Sicily.

Now the situation is different, and another Frenchman comes in.It is not known how much to pay in the end. At least the military costs of sending troops from both countries fell on the kingdoms of the two Sicilies.

At least Ten Thousand Aegis started, there is nothing to say, the powers are not for charity.

This is what happened to the big powers, and the crowded out military expenses came out.For the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, this is a matter of fiscal revenue for several years.

Specifically for a few years, it depends on the fighting power of the rebels.In the unlikely event that the rebels opened up and the war continued, the financial failure of the two Sicilian kingdoms would sooner or later.

This kind of thing has a very high chance of happening. If only one country intervenes, it may be squandered quickly.

Now France and Austria are sending troops together, stumbling over each other, and deliberately dragging their feet behind is destined to be indispensable.

When to suppress the rebellion depends on the strength of Shuangkeng teammates.
