Chapter 97: Politician

After receiving the battle report from the Battle of Venice, Charlie Albert was as if he had lost his soul, and his spirit was gone for a while, and his mouth kept saying: "It's over! It's over! All over!
Secretary of the Army Li Qi hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, it is not the worst time yet, we still have a chance to come back!"
Charlie Albert turned his eyes and asked with a bitter smile: "What opportunity? Badorio, we have lost all our accumulation for so many years!"
In the just-finished Battle of Venice, the Kingdom of Sardinia not only lost nearly 100,000 troops, but also lost the spirit of their hard-to-find gathering.
It takes courage for small nations to challenge big nations. In order to challenge Austria, the Kingdom of Sardinia has been propagating Austria's decay and impenetrability for more than a decade, and it has gathered its morale and morals.
Can an army without morale be able to fight?
Charlie Albert is a smart man, and he knows that this time the challenge to Austria is not enough to prepare the Kingdom of Sardinia.
If it weren't for the domestic situation, and Austria seemed to be getting worse, he would definitely not risk it.
Li Qi explained with his own reasonable reasons: "His Majesty, we still have Lombard in our hands, and we can mobilize the local people to rise up against the Austrians. Even if we cannot defeat the enemy, we can hold them back for a while!
As long as the situation is deadlocked, we can ask the British to mediate. We still owe the British a large loan. The Austrians will not recognize the money. For their own benefit, the British must support us! "
In order to support the kingdom of Sardinia's unification of Italy, John Niu did the hard work, and invested a total of tens of millions of pounds of loans. If it suddenly disappears, even if it is a big business, they can't afford it.
Charlie Albert shook his head and said, "Things are not that simple. Austria is not a soft persimmon. The British are not charitable.
Unless we can stop the Austrian front in Lombardy, otherwise we want to pass this time-difficult! "
Powers have always bullied small countries. This time, the Kingdom of Sardinia broke the rules and challenged Austria as a small country. However, it still lost miserably. This is a tragedy.
Historically, the Austrians let go of the Kingdom of Sardinia because of the Hungarian rebellion and did not have the energy to liquidate them.
Now the Hungarians obviously can't count on it. Even if Austria does not increase its troops, the army in Venice can turn the Kingdom of Sardinia into history.
"Not good, Your Majesty. Now we must block the news immediately. If the news of the defeat of the Venetian war is spread, the country will be chaotic!" Prime Minister Azelio said afterwards.
The crowd reacted at once. Everyone was a grasshopper on a rope. No one could run away when something happened.
It can be said that the political propaganda of the blackening of Austria by the Kingdom of Sardinia for a long time has laid a hidden danger for now.
Impatient nationalism is the easiest to get out of control. They do not consider the actual situation, and they are even more intolerant of failure.
Charlie Albert has awakened, and as a qualified politician, he will make the best choice for himself.
"The government immediately stepped forward to rumour and released fake news, saying that we are fighting the Austrians and are currently deadlocked.
At the same time, the whole people were mobilized, and all young people were incorporated into the army, especially those young students, who were sent to the battlefield.
The Foreign Ministry approached the British as soon as possible and asked them to mediate the war. As long as the conditions proposed by the British are not too excessive, they can be promised directly! "
Charlie Albert didn't want to be overthrown by radical nationalists, he had to let these people die first.
"Your Majesty, do you want to replace Bardolio?" Secretary of the Army Li Qi asked
Charlie Albert is lost in contemplation, and if possible, he really hopes that the Kingdom of Sardinia will have a hero to turn the tide.
"Forget it, it will be a warrior's taboo to exchange for a battle, let him be successful in crime!"
Hesitating again and again, Charlie Albert gave up on the substitution plan. At this time, whoever changes up will not get much better. If not, it will worsen the situation. It is better to let Bardolio fight all the responsibilities.
...
Budapest
As the capital of the Hungarian interim government, and one of the few cities the Revolutionaries can control, this is already a sea of ​​evil.
Petofi really couldn't stand it anymore. He just felt that his ideal was getting farther and farther from reality. In addition to the so-called freedom brought to Hungary by the revolution, there was only disaster.
"Mr. Kosut, we have to purge the military discipline, and now the National Self-Defense Forces have turned into a group of bandits and robbers, so the revolution will be over!"
In the past, Cosut, who was full of energy, was sitting there with a sad look, and those sharp eyes were still bloodshot, but he was still full of energy.
After listening to Petofi's words, Kosu nodded characteristically, and then said with a bitter smile: "The long-term battle with the enemy is too depressing. The soldiers are also human. They need to vent. At this time, discipline of the military will cause more unpredictable consequences! "
How could he not know the chaos in the city? However, now that they have no choice, it is more meaningful to talk about the life and ideals of the soldiers.
Until the war, the Hungarian Republican government has long been hollowed out, and soldiers can only be left to grab it if they don't have the money to pay military concubines.
"But Mr. Kosut, we will lose heart in this way!" Petofi said unwillingly.
As an idealist, the reclusive heart only accounts for a small part, and if victory can be achieved, Petofi does not mind sacrificing.
But now there was a voice telling him that this would not work, and he expected Kosut to come forward and stop the soldiers from doing anything wrong.
Kosut said without change: "The revolution always requires sacrifice. This sacrifice can be you, me, the National Guard, or the ordinary Hungarian people!
History will remember their sacrifices, and we will clear this account with the Austrians sooner or later!
Budapest can't hold it, everything that stays inside is for the enemy, it's better to ruin it! "
"You are going to destroy this city, you are crazy!" Petofi said excitedly.
Kosut said excitedly: "It's not that I want to destroy the city, but the Austrians want to destroy it!
Enemies are now building dams upstream. As long as we persist, they will flood the city!
Think about how much loss the Austrians will bring to the river once they release water into the city.
There will be hundreds of thousands and even millions of people homeless. These people will become our comrades-in-arms. We will join forces to bury this decaying empire! "
