Chapter 190: Pig teammates gathered

London
After receiving the news that the Kingdom of Sardinia is about to participate in the war, Prime Minister John Russell is very happy. No one will dislike this kind of discerning younger brother.
After the outbreak of the Near East War, because of their support for the Ottomans, many people were unhappy and stood on the opposite side of European public opinion. Even in the UK, many people have caught the government scolding.
Reality has once again proved the importance of a good reputation. The reputation of the Ottoman Empire is too stinky, even if Britain and France join forces, they will not be able to wash them.
Public opinion is only a minor problem. It is not the first time that the British have stood on the opposite side of international public opinion. These arrogant parties are scolding, but they can't hurt them, John Russell doesn't care.
However, not only has the Principality of Montenegro recently joined the Russian side, even their younger brother, Greece, has engaged in small moves, as if they are telling how unpopular they are with Ottoman.
In order to cope with the pressure of the opposition party, John Russell urgently needs to show results to prove the correctness of this operation.
A breakthrough in military affairs was not anticipated by John Russell. Such a chance is too small. With the 20,000 British troops on the front line, it is really doubtful what results can be achieved in a war with more than one million participants.
Not military, then diplomacy is fine. This is their strength, isn't it pulling teammates, the British Empire is experienced.
At that time, Napoleon was so sturdy that he was killed by the anti-French alliance they formed. Although the threat from the Russians is now great, the situation has not been severe during the anti-French war.
It is a pity that the European countries have learned so well that if they are allowed to intimidate and seduce, everyone just remains motionless, and all countries have expressed neutrality.
This made Prime Minister John Russell a headache. Strong allies no longer expected him to support him. There are only a few European powers. No one is a fool. No one will take the fire for them.
John Russell lowered the standard, as long as there were a few flags and shouts, we could give an explanation to the domestic people.
"What are the conditions for the Sardinians?" John Russell asked happily.
He had made up his mind and only agreed that the conditions in the Kingdom of Sardinia were not excessive. In order to establish world hegemony, it is indispensable to collect younger brothers. It is also important to buy bones.
There are many younger brothers, such as Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. It is a pity that these younger brothers are not on the road, and see that there is no benefit to take, all of them are shrinking turtles, unwilling to offend the Russians.
The Kingdom of Sardinia's position is particularly important. After all, it was the first to come here. Although its role in military affairs is almost zero, it is also very important for another country to shake its flag in politics.
The Greeks were originally eligible for this role. Unfortunately, their conflict with the Ottoman Empire was too great, and there was no possibility of relaxation between the two sides.
"The Sardinian demands were not excessive. They asked the Allies to purchase a batch of goods from the Kingdom of Sardinia and to delay payment of the loan before the war ended." Palmerston replied lightly.
There is no doubt that the defeat of the Osa War still hit their confidence, and they had a clear understanding of their own strength. At this time, they did not dare to open their mouths.
John Russell continued to ask, "How much can the Kingdom of Sardinia send troops?"
Palmerston said disdainfully: "The two infantry regiments can only be considered better than nothing. The Prime Minister of Carfur said that if we can provide weapons and equipment and bear the cost of the war, they can send 20,000 troops."
John Russell said with a smile: "You can promise them, but we need to get command.
Our army's delay in arriving at the battlefield has already dissatisfied our allies. Now let's take the troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia to make up the numbers. "
The plan of the Kingdom of Sardinia had already been guessed, and it was nothing more than to win the support of Britain and France and then unify the Italian region.
Regarding the confidence of the Sardinians, John Russell was somewhat inexplicable. He did not think that the Italian region could be unified. After the Osa war, the economy of the Kingdom of Sardinia went straight back for two decades, and now it has not recovered.
The normal situation is to cultivate your health, ease relations with Austria, and change the diplomatic dilemma.
After all, during this period, Austria had a great influence in the Italian states and formed the Holy Roman Economic Union to exclude them from the Italian region.
To unify Italy, Austria is an insurmountable obstacle. Unable to defeat Austria, all their efforts were futile.
It is true that the London government supports the unification of the Kingdom of Sardinia with Italy, but such support is only verbal and supports a maximum of one loan. It is impossible to go to the battle in person.
The French wanted to drive Austria out of the Italian region, but the French also opposed the unification of the Italian region. If nothing had happened, France and Austria would have divided the Kingdom of Sardinia three years ago.
It does n’t matter if you do n’t understand, since the Sardinians are willing to be cannon fodder, how can he refuse?

Vienna
Franz wrote a diary, this is a habit after crossing. There are a lot of messy memories in the previous life, and in order to worry about forgetting, Franz recorded them.
For the sake of confidentiality, these contents appear as novels. The background of the world has also been replaced by the magical world. The mess is mixed, and no one can understand it except himself.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Metternich asks to see you!" The familiar voice of Maid Jenny sounded.
"Please come in!" Franz said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
"My Majesty, the Sardinian government is testing our attitude, and they are preparing to declare war on the Russians," Metternich said.
To be honest, the first time I heard the news, Metternich didn't believe it. The Kingdom of Sardinia ran out of battle and ran into war with the Russians, knowing that they are now in debt.
After many confirmations, Metternich accepted the news.
Don't be alarmed. As for the military strength of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Austria has the most say. Such a scum is not worth paying attention to at all.
But the political significance behind it has to be taken into account. If the British and French promised something to the Kingdom of Sardinia, that's why they sent troops, then we should pay attention.
After thinking about it, Franz replied, "Since the Kingdom of Sardinia wants to participate in the war, let's be beautiful as an adult! As a hint to the Sardinian government, Austria has no opinion on this."
Will the participation of the Kingdom of Sardinia affect this Russian-Turkish war? It certainly has an impact, but this effect only stays political; in the military, they don't have to add chaos to the coalition.
At this moment Franz suddenly found that the odds of seemingly Russians were not small. Don't look at the strength of the coalition forces, but three of these four countries are the products of the pit teammates. Do you rely on the French alone?
The Ottoman Empire does not need to explain how their army is fighting, it just depends on how the Russians are crushed on the battlefield.
The core of the Sardinian army is all over, and the rest are a group of disabled soldiers who have lost their spirits. The army formed by them should not have any expectations.
The British Army's combat effectiveness is relatively good. Unfortunately, their numbers are not up, their commanding ability is not rampant, and they still love the chain and pit teammates at critical moments.
In contrast, the Russians do not have to consider so many. In addition to Austria's strength, several other allies need not count on it.
In the league, Austria plays a nanny role. Unless the Russians on the front line lose, there will be no chance for the Austrian army to play, which is determined by logistics.
Greece, Montenegro, and the Russians are all separated. There is no need to consider the issue of coordination, let alone worry about being pitted.
Theoretically, as long as the Russians can seize the opportunity and defeat the French, they may break the enemy.
...
After receiving news of Austria's acquiescence to their actions, on July 1, 1852, the Sardinian government declared war on the Russian Empire, and the scope of the Near East War expanded again.
