Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 898: Thrilling Homecoming

"Fool! Don't you know how to deal with mice?"

Looking at the bewildered subordinate, Marshal Adrian helplessly explained: "Catch mice and use cats. Can you not think of such a simple question?

If the enemy doesn't come up, try to get them out.Find a few local snakes and let them catch the party.

I use all the threats and temptations. Not everyone is hard-bodied. As long as you catch one, you can bring out a nest."

Intimidation and lure is not a new method. It has been used since the beginning of France's annexation of Italy, and the effect is quite good.

Only over time, the situation has gradually changed.The domesticated cats lived too easily, and even their ability to catch mice had deteriorated.

The middle-aged officer said, "But the marshal, we have no right to intervene in local affairs. If we rashly intervene, it may cause dissatisfaction with the local government.

For a country to be stable, the separation of military and administration is an indispensable part.There is no doubt that France is a country where military and government are separated.

The military can arrest members of Italian independent organizations that disrupt logistics and transportation, but it is a political taboo to win over the powerful in the local area.

After hesitating for a moment, Adrian nodded.Able to get into his current position, Adrian is not a political novice.

Many unremarkable unspoken rules in the officialdom are not to be violated, even if he is the superior French marshal, there is no exception.

"Give the cabinet a power generation to explain the situation, and let them find ways to coordinate with local governments and cooperate with us in eliminating the Italian rebellious parties that colluded with Austria."

Adrian is clear about the feces of the French bureaucracy.Those who can occupy a high position are the masters who practice "more is worse than less."

If the central government does not intervene and the military directly negotiates with the local government, the final result will definitely be nothing.

No matter how important the overall situation is, it is not as important as the hat on everyone's head.As long as no major events happen, local governments will never admit that their jurisdiction is chaotic.

...

London

The outbreak of the European War should be great news for the Italian revolutionary organization, but Vittorio Emanuele III is not happy now.

Since the outbreak of the war, the police force arranged by the British in the four weeks has increased significantly, and people have been tracking and protecting them even when traveling.

There is no doubt that Vittorio Emanuele III was placed under house arrest as a favorable pawn for Britain to intervene in Italy.

Although personal freedom is not restricted, it is limited to activities in the British Isles, and it is impossible to go abroad.

There is no free lunch in the world. The British have taken in independent Italian organizations, and they are both paying and contributing. Naturally, they want them to play a role.

In this regard, Vittorio Emanuele III can still think about it.It is nothing more than a matter of interests. As long as he can support his restoration, the rest is easy to discuss.

"Fine, how is the communication with the British, are they willing to support our restoration?"

The British foreign policy is fickle, and the support for independent Italian organizations also changes frequently.

Whenever the Anglo-French relationship is worst, independent organizations can receive large amounts of funding. Anyway, it is the hardest time for independent organizations.

It stands to reason that Britain and France are now allies, and the life of the Italian independent organization should be difficult.

However, there are exceptions. The London government is now counting on France and Austria to lose both.Before the situation is clear, the British will not let Vittorio Emanuele III leave.

After all, his political value is high. In case the French win the war, the Italian Independence Organization is a weapon to check and balance the French.

If Austria wins the war, they can also support the Italian independence organization to unify the Italian region and create trouble for Austria.

No matter what happens in the future, the British can't let the chess piece Vittorio Emanuele III out of control.

"Your Majesty, the British rejected our proposal on the grounds that the situation is uncertain."

It can be seen from Fein's desperate expression that the situation is more serious than he said.

The Italian Independent Organization has now received Austria’s support. If the British simply did not support it, it would not make Fein despair.

After sighing, Vittorio Emanuele III said helplessly: "I should have thought of it. Recently, so many guards have been added outside this time, obviously to watch us.

It seems that Britain is going to support the French this time, worrying that we will go back and join forces with the Austrians and let the French lose the war."

Vittorio Emmanuele III regrets now, besides regret.Prior to this, the Austrian Minister had repeatedly invited him to Milan to direct the Italian independence movement at close range.

In order not to become the puppet of the Austrians, Vittorio Emmanuele III decisively chose to refuse.

Perseveringly, I could avoid the first day of the first year, but not the fifteenth.Escaped the risk of becoming an Austrian puppet, but ushered in the darker British.

When the Austrian puppet was only temporary, Vittorio Emmanuele III still had a chance to regain the country after the war, which was barely a deal.

It is different to stay in London and watch the situation develop. Not only is it unable to lead the independence movement in Italy, but even the chance of rejuvenation is buried.

Even if the French were defeated and the Italian region regained its independence, it had nothing to do with Vittorio Emanuele III.

It is impossible for the Vienna government to be so kind, to hand over the results of its fortunately fortunately defeated people, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is not only eligible to inherit the throne, Vittorio Emanuele III.

Prime Minister Leonid categorically said: "In any case, we must leave London as soon as possible and return to preside over the independence movement.

The more the British don't want us to return, the more it shows that the French are at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and they worry that we will be the last straw to crush the camels.

Now is the closest time we are to the restoration of the country. If we missed this opportunity, it will be difficult to restore the country in the future."

The European Balance Policy is a trick of the British and has nothing to do with everyone. Even if it is to be considered, it is a problem after the successful restoration of the country.

As long as the country can be restored, Prime Minister Leonid doesn't care who is the boss.Anyway, no matter who becomes the overlord of Britain, France, Russia and Austria, it is impossible for the kingdom of Sardinia to become the overlord.

Vittorio Emanuele III nodded: "The Prime Minister said rightly that we must find a way to leave. This opportunity must not be missed.

It's just that the British are staring at us so hard that we can't leave the British Isles at all, even if we are smuggling."

In order to rejuvenate the country, everyone present was a communicative activist who often went to various banquets.

The British police officers on duty outside can probably call out each of them clearly. It is not realistic to want to leave.

As if thinking of something, the Foreign Secretary Finn showed a smile on his face, and then quickly disappeared.

After hesitating again and again, he said, "Everyone left together, and I definitely can't hide the sight of the British.

If you just send one or two people away, there is still hope, just take some risks.

If you are seen through by the British, you might even..."

Before Finn could finish speaking, Vittorio Emanuele III interrupted: “You need to take risks when you do anything. Our ongoing restoration movement is itself the riskiest.

State your plan, Fine.As long as Italy can be restored, I am willing to take any risks."

It is not that Vittorio Emanuele III has the fearless spirit, but that under the European political system, there is almost no need to worry about safety as a king. Their personal safety is protected by all countries.

Except for the Revolutionary Party in Secondary Two, normal people will not kill the king.Even if Vittorio Emanuele III did something that the British were even more offensive, the London government would not be able to click him.

Even if it falls into the hands of the French, Vittorio Emanuele III has the confidence to guarantee his personal safety and will even receive courtesy.

No life is in danger anyway, Vittorio Emanuele III naturally does not mind being brave in front of his supporters.

Fein nodded: "My plan is to make Your Majesty pretend to be sick first and reduce contact with the outside world.

In the short term, the British will certainly send someone over to check it out, but they cannot be on guard 24 hours a day. This kind of vigilance cannot last.

After waiting for a period of time, the British relaxed their vigilance, the frequency of checking dropped, and the opportunity came.

Your Majesty's personal doctor is ours.Arrange for a person similar to your majesty's figure to enter the manor as Doctor Jack's assistant and replace your majesty.

There are many people who have seen your Majesty, but the people who have been in close contact with your Majesty are all big shots. Those guys outside are just looking at them from a distance, and they should not be familiar with His Majesty’s facial expressions.

In the evening, we left with Dr. Jack. Under the cover of night, we will put on makeup for your Majesty. The chances of hiding from the guards are very high.

The evening is a break time, even if someone comes to visit, we can use your majesty's physical discomfort to prevaricate the past.

We can first contact the Austrians and arrange the ship to meet in advance. After leaving the manor, your Majesty will leave London by boat overnight.

Even if it was discovered by the British the next day, the ship left the port.For a while, the British were unable to determine the direction of the ship, even if they wanted to send a navy to intercept it, they did not know how to chase it.

To be on the safe side, we can also allow the Austrians to arrange a few more boats and sail in different directions at the same time to distract the British."

The typical Li Daitao stiff, without much technical content, is the best choice for Vittorio Emanuele III to get rid of the cage right now.

As for whether or not the British will become angry afterwards, that is no longer important.No matter how angry the British government is, it is impossible to wipe out those who remain.

The governments in exile in Britain this year are not one or two. If they do too much, the other governments in exile will die.

Without these organizations raising the flag, the British would also fall into a passive situation internationally, and it would not be so easy to get things done.

In essence, the British took in these governments, in addition to gaining an opportunity to intervene in other countries' internal affairs, but also for secretly making political transactions.

Simply put, if you are pro-British and everyone is playing well, nothing will happen; if one day you are anti-British, then they support the restoration of the government-in-exile to engage you.

Maybe something is not enough, but bad things are definitely more than enough.Especially for small countries, because they cannot withstand this kind of toss, they have to make political and diplomatic concessions to the British.

Vittorio Emanuele III said fiercely: "I decided to bet! For the great Italy, the next thing will get rid of everyone."

The risk is within the controllable range. Even if it fails, the situation will not be worse than it is now. Naturally, everyone has no reason to object.

...

In times of crisis, the efficiency of independent organizations was still very high, and Vittorio Emanuele III fell ill that day.

In order to disgust the British, the independent organization secretly released the news that Vittorio Emanuele III was sickened by British popularity.

Medical technology is underdeveloped these days, and it is very fatal to get sick. A small problem can kill you.

It is even more important that the king is ill. Even though Vittorio Emanuele III was the king in exile, he was still valued by the British government because of the European War.

The famous London doctors came and went to Vittorio Emanuele III’s manor one after another without finding the cause.

Even in the newspapers, news of Vittorio Emanuele III's heavy-handed seeking medical treatment appeared, as if he had died soon.

In the Prime Minister's residence on Downing Street, Prime Minister Gladstone, who had just finished his day, accidentally browsed a newspaper on the table, which happened to have published news about the serious illness of Vittorio Emanuele III.

Soon Prime Minister Gladstone frowned. At this time, the Italian Independence Organization has become a bargaining chip for Britain to intervene in the European War, and Vittorio Emanuele III is even more of a bargaining chip. Core.

Although the weight of this bargaining chip is not enough, but now there are not many bargaining chips for Britain to choose from, and the importance of the Italian independent organization has been highlighted.

If Vittorio Emanuele III died, the already divided Italian Independent Organization would be completely abolished.

For Britain, this is undoubtedly a very bad result.According to the plan, Prime Minister Gladstone also wants to wait for France and Austria to lose out and rewrite the European political landscape.

The most ideal result is naturally to split France and Austria at the same time.Separate South Germany from Austria and merge with North Germany to establish a small German empire.

Let the Italian region get rid of the French rule and independence, plus Lombardy and Venecia to form an Italian kingdom.

To do this, the importance of Italian independent organizations is self-evident.Although there is no strength, but the political appeal is...
