Chapter 52: Aftercare (for tickets)

Which is more important, political or military?
There is no exact answer to this question.
Militaryly, Marshal Radkis' decision was completely correct, but it was politically wrong.
His withdrawal from the outside world seems to be that Austria has lost on the battlefield, or that the Austrian Empire has decayed.
This will increase confidence among domestic ambitionists and make the domestic situation more complicated. At the same time, Austria's international status will be shaken internationally.
"So far, it's useless to say more!"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicated with Britain and France first, and they should not be allowed to give substantial support to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The focus is on the French. When necessary, we can let the French enter Northern Italy." Franz said without hesitation
Deep in his heart, he also supports Marshal Radkis' approach. As long as he can win the war, is it worth paying a little?
The negative political influence will not let the cabinet be blameless. Anyway, the regent crown prince is still young and a five-good youth, and the public will not scold him.
Prime Minister Felix's face was gloomy and terrible. Unfortunately, Marshal Radkis was far away in Venice. Even if he had any anger, there was no place to scream?
You can't order now, let Marshal Radkis recapture Lombardy right away? War is not child's play, how can it be taken for granted?
Would you like to be replaced? This idea flickered in his mind. Changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers. Don't say that the crown prince will definitely not agree, even he dare not take this risk?
Franz has already stated his attitude, addressing the aftermath first. If this war is won, then Marshal Radkis is a hero and a hero of Austria. On the contrary, it goes without saying that the consequences are very serious.
"His Highness, the French are not concerned. Since the end of the anti-French war, the strength of the French Army has been limited, and they have only broken free after the February Revolution in Paris.
At present, the internal struggle in France is serious. Conservatives who are unwilling to fail are fighting back. The French are too diligent and they support at least part of the supplies.
On the contrary, the British are very troublesome. They are less affected by the revolution and have the power to interfere in the Italian battlefield. We have a good relationship with the British. At this time, we should win their support! "
On the surface, this is indeed the case. Since the Metternich era, the diplomatic relations between Austria and Britain have been good. Everyone wants to maintain the balance of continental Europe.
For the same political purpose, the relationship between the two sides is naturally good. Austria has always been an English ally in maintaining the balance of the European continent.
Metternich shook his head and said, "The Prime Minister, from the stand of the British, establishes a unified Italian kingdom, while balancing Austria and France, is more in their interest.
It is almost impossible for us to get their support on this issue, and it would be nice to be able to keep the British neutral. "
I have thoroughly studied the Englishman Metternich. All relationships are vain. Only interests are the most reliable.
Everyone is an ally in maintaining European balance, but the Britons don't need a strong Austria, they just need an Austria that can block the expansion of the Russians.
None of them took France to heart. Although the Vienna system collapsed, the vigilance of France over France has not disappeared.
News of the February Revolution in Paris reached St. Petersburg, and Tsar Nicholas I wanted to intervene, but he had to give up this plan because of financial constraints.
However, the Tsarist government announced that it had severed diplomatic relations with France. Before the Russian ambassador to France, Kiselev, warned the Paris government to require the French to abide by the territorial boundaries established by the Vienna Conference and the Paris Peace Treaty.
The British have also expressed concern on this issue, and are still watching the foreign policy of the Paris government, and have not recognized their legitimacy.
In this context, if the French government dares to send troops to Italy, it is likely to set off a new round of anti-French war. Obviously, the Paris government does not have the courage.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, our war with the Kingdom of Sardinia has just begun. Even if the British were to support the Kingdom of Sardinia, they were not so efficient.
At this time, our biggest problem is still in the country. The defeat on the Italian battlefield will stimulate some people's ambitions. "
To rely on the Kingdom of Sardinia to do Austria, this is not verbal support. Either the British sent troops directly, or they supported a lot of money, food and supplies.
It is impossible for the British to send troops directly unless they want Austria to fall to Russia; supporting money and food is not a small number, at least it is a million pounds.
This decision is not easy to make. In case the money is given, the Kingdom of Sardinia loses, and their investment will be lost.
Austria is also a big power. It also has a temper. If the Faul compromise is not enough to directly divide up Italy, the British can only sit down.
Carl's last sentence brought everyone's attention back to China again. Compared with the Italian issue, the domestic rebellion is actually the real confidant.
I'm not sure anywhere else, the Kingdom of Hungary will definitely rebel, but it's just a matter of time.
"Well, the defeat on the Italian battlefield will definitely cause a chain reaction, but we are not unprepared.
Order troops to be more vigilant and, if a rebellion occurs, suppress it immediately. Franz said aggressively
After calming down the Vienna insurrection, Franz immediately began to prepare for the whole army. Many reserve forces were drafted into the army, and Austria's total strength had expanded to 578,000.
If it wasn't for the recruits, it would take time for Franz to be too lazy to talk to the Hungarians, and using force to solve the Hungarian problem is the correct operation.
Franz wasn't prepared to fight protracted wars, and cracking down on the rebellion had to be done quickly. As long as one or two years in history, it would be fatal.
The war fought money. Historically, the domestic rebellion was not able to settle down, which not only caused huge economic losses, for which the Austrian government also shouldered a huge amount of foreign debt.
So that in the later development, Austria was one step slower, and this step made Austria fall into the abyss.
"His Royal Highness, would you like to send another supporter to Marshal Radkis?" Finance Minister Carl asked with some concern.
"No, after giving up the Lombardy area, Marshal Radkis has enough troops in his hands, and defending Venice is not a problem!" Franz thought and said
Since it is to entice the enemy to go deeper, what if the Italians dare not come?
The Sardinian kingdom has a limited family base, and at most it has invested 100,000 troops. The strength of the two sides is comparable. Franz does not believe that the Austrian army cannot win even the Italians!
