Chapter 69: Pragmatist

In this era, the main industries in the Italian region were concentrated in the northern region. Due to political and geographical factors, they were divided into the "Turin-Genoa" industrial zone and the "Milan-Venice" industrial zone.
There is no doubt that the industrial revolution in Italy has just begun, and it is still dominated by traditional handicrafts, but only a lot of mechanical tools have been added.
The capitalists in the Venetian region and the capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia have both cooperation and competition. Many capitalists have industries in both places, and the relationship between the two parties is not easy to understand.
When the conditions put forward by Marshal Radkis spread in the Venice area, the capitalists responded. As for who he supports, it is difficult to say clearly.
It doesn't matter, anyway, this is a conspiracy. Even the most hostile capitalists in Austria, they also need the Sardinian kingdom to send troops to Venice as soon as possible.
Every day the war continues, it will bring them inestimable losses, including the local capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and national mobilization will also prevent them from making money.
Turin became even more lively. The capitalists in the Venetian region joined the public opinion offensive, as if it had become the last straw to overwhelm the camels. Looking at the black crowds, Charlie Albert had to order the Army to launch an advance attack.
To this end, he also sent 40,000 troops that could be used in the country at last. The armies of the Kingdom of Sardinia were as high as 190,000. If the power of allies is added, their total strength is now approaching 250,000 in theory.
The reason is that in theory, it is because in addition to the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the army of the remaining states is still fighting soy sauce.
Especially the Naples army, the furthest away, stopped in the Papal State because of a large number of soldiers suffering from heat stroke. As long as God knows why they have heatstroke in spring.
In short, the 40,000 troops promised by Naples could not keep up with this war, but for the early reunification of the Italian region, they sent hundreds of warriors to battle with illness.
No matter how ridiculous this reason is, at least one thing is certain, the army of Naples will not come.
Franz didn't think it was the credit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Just look at the birth of King Ferdinand II of Naples.
This was the son of two Sicilian kings, Francois I, and the daughter of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor. (The Kingdom of Sicily and Naples jointly formed two Kingdoms of Sicily, Naples dominates)
In simple terms, this is the younger brother that the Habsburgs helped to cultivate in Italy. Although Austria's international reputation has fallen, this is not enough to make them jump back.
Looking at the map, it is clear that even if Naples is separated by the Papal State, even if they can drive Austria out of Italy, they will not get any substantial benefits.
Any Italian state has the ambition to unify the Italian region. At this time, the enemy is not a good choice. Even Austria's occupation of Venice and Lombardy would be more in their interest than the occupation of these areas by the Kingdom of Sardinia.
History has changed because Austria's military power in the Venice area is stronger. Now the Kingdom of Sardinia has begun to perform the demon dissolution of the demon. This is a battle of national movements.
By May, the reserve mobilized by Austria, after more than a month of running-in, had begun to take on combat effectiveness. Franz quietly increased his troops to Hungary, and the war broke out.
Vienna
Franz once again lamented that Nicholas I was a good comrade. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that 300,000 Russian troops were ready to help Austria and Prussia suppress the revolution at any time.
The strong support of the Tsarist government has had a very strong impact in Europe. Both Austria and the Prussian Revolutionary Party have been hit with a hit.
The newly independent Hungarian regime has become precarious. The head of Kosut, the Hungarian Republic, can't sleep at night, for fear that the Russians will stab them in the back.
Metternich said, "His Royal Highness, the French have been tempted, they have terminated all aid to the Kingdom of Sardinia, and we are now discussing the division of the Sardinian kingdom."
Franz was pleased and thought to himself: "Sure enough, Metternich is still suitable for diplomacy. Being a prime minister is completely professional!"
If you can live with the French, there will be no accidents in the Italian battlefield. Without the help of the French, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is a weak chicken.
In a short period of more than a month, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia expanded rapidly from 20,000 to 30,000 to nearly 200,000. People with a little military knowledge know that such an army is not reliable.
Of course, if the soldiers of the Sardinian kingdom are not afraid of death, or if they execute the superior orders as honestly as German soldiers, then it is not a big problem.
Probably the Kingdom of Sardinia has been bewildered by radical domestic opinion, thinking that these soldiers on the battlefield can be as powerful as they were when they shouted slogans.
Franz made the decision directly: "Well, sign a treaty with the French government as soon as possible. They can change the government as fast as a woman can change clothes. Don't take any extra steps!"
"His Royal Highness, it would be too bad to sign a treaty right away. The French appetite is bigger than we think." Metternich reminded
"It doesn't matter. Whether the treaty we signed with the French can be implemented depends on whether the French can withstand the pressure of the British.
Judging from the current situation, the French government keeps selling to the British. As long as the London government is tougher, most French will make compromises.
If they choose to give up, it's no wonder we are. Even then, we can condemn them for betrayal. Franz said indifferently
Not only is this provisional government kneeling at the British, several subsequent French governments have followed the British to hang out, and it is unrealistic for them to resist the British for at least five years.
"His Royal Highness, if the French retreat, then we are afraid that we will be alone. In the present circumstances, we are not suitable for annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Duke Louis reminded
"Unfortunately, such a good opportunity was missed. It is not so easy for the Kingdom of Sardinia to come to you!" Prime Minister Felix sighed.
Dominating Italy is not only the dream of the French, but also the dream of Austria, but this is just a dream, and the European powers will not let them do so.
"There is no way, who makes us have bad teeth now? If we eat the Sardinian kingdom in one bite, we are going to be strangled!" Franz said helplessly.
