Chapter 70: Preparation completed

The Austrian empire was like a frail elderly man, overeating, and possibly dying at any time. Franz's concession to the French was based on this.
In the principle of scribbling rabbits, Austria can also tear a piece of meat from the Kingdom of Sardinia if the French government toughens it.
It doesn't matter how much, what's important is that it can be politically proven to the outside world that the Austrian Empire is still a power, with great strength, and deterring the Prussians who are about to move.
As for whether the French will grow larger because of this, Franz is very Buddhist. What does it matter to him?
When the French grow up, the British and Russians should worry about it. Could the French still be stupid enough to attack Austria?
Don't make fun, after the baptism of Napoleon, the vigilance of all countries in Europe to France is S level.
Before we get rid of diplomatic isolation, any military action by the French may lead to joint suppression by various countries.
Metternich said calmly: "If the French are persuaded, then we don't need to destroy the Sardinian kingdom. It is also a good choice to keep them as a buffer between Austria and France.
The most troublesome are the British, who are willing to mediate the Osama war despite promises from the London government.
However, we received news from our embassy in London that a British consortium was negotiating a secret loan with the Kingdom of Sardinia.
In addition, some time ago, the Kingdom of Sardinia has borrowed 3 million pounds from the British, and we have reason to believe that the British stood by the enemy in this war. "
Metternich has always shown little interest in territorial expansion. The conservative politician believes that Austria is big enough and ethnic conflicts in the country are even more troublesome, so he opposes continued expansion.
Based on this policy, Austria has done little territorial expansion in the past few decades.
Franz's indifference to Metternich's political propositions, but to judge his diplomacy, that is another view.
The greatest diplomat of the 19th century deserved it. The "European Prime Minister" and the "Metternich era" are the highest evaluations given to him by the outside world.
The collapse of the Vienna system was not a diplomatic defeat. It was more austerity in Austria and could not withstand the impact of the revolution.
At this time in history, Metternich had already stepped down. As a result, the British released a bunch of smoke bombs and successfully confused the Vienna government. If Marshal Radkis insisted, Lombardy and Venice would have been lost in 1848.
Felix said confidently: "There is no need to worry too much. Even if the British support the Kingdom of Sardinia, they cannot end in person without the support of the European powers."
This is not pride, but a judgment based on the international situation and the strength of all parties.
In history, the Vienna government let go of the Kingdom of Sardinia. In addition to the intervention of Britain and France, the most important reason was that they were worried that the French would grow bigger after annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia.
"Well, it's good to prepare these things in advance. The most important thing is the result of this war. If we can easily defeat the enemy, then the result is naturally led by us!"
Franz poured cold water on the confident Prime Minister. The war was not over yet, so arrogant, was not a good thing.
This is not to blame. Felix, Austria is also a European power, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is just a small point. The difference in strength between the two sides is not normal. It is normal to look down on them.
After a pause, Metternich proposed again: "His Highness, the Russians have promised to help us suppress the rebellion. Would you like them to send troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion as soon as possible?"
Looking at the crowd's expressions, Franz shook his head.
"No! This is a housework in Austria. If the Russians are to help us suppress the rebellion, we will have to rely on the Russians diplomatically in the days to come.
The most difficult thing to pay back in the world is human debt. The situation in Hungary is still within our tolerance. There is no need to involve the Russians.
However, it is still possible for the Russians to make the illusion of sending troops to Hungary and to shake up the resistance of the party. "
It's two concepts to do what you want to do, and to actually end it. If the Russians really sent troops to help Austria suppress the Hungarian rebellion, how would future history books record it?
"Please foreign soldiers suppress the revolution"? Doesn't that become a reactionary? Do you want Franz's brilliant image?
It's okay to just do something, scare the Hungarians, and force them to split up and defend.
As a winner, Franz can write whatever he wants. If the future and Russia turn upside down, he can even reverse the black and white saying: Under the leadership of the great Franz the Great, the Russians have smashed the plot of plotting misconduct in Hungary.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it. Europe also has regional blacks. Russia still integrated into European society after the anti-French war.
Turning on the black history of the Russians, they said that they were plotting against Hungary. If they didn't know the truth, Franz would have believed it.
"His Royal Highness, there is news from the front lines in Venice. The Kingdom of Sardinia is now very cautious and has not ventured to attack. Our enticement may fail.
Marshal Radkis asked us to dispatch troops as soon as possible to suppress the Hungarian rebellion. It would be best if we could quickly gain an advantage on the battlefield and force the Kingdom of Sardinia to take part in a decisive battle. "The Secretary of the Army said suddenly
Franz rubbed his forehead helplessly. Historical data are deceptive. The Italian army ’s ineffective fighting is a fact, but it does not mean that they are really easy to deal with, at least the current Sardinian kingdom is not so good.
Bardolio, the parallel marshal, knew that he would fight steadily, and would rather bear greater losses and fight all the way. He did not venture into the Venetian region and the Austrian army did the main battle.
In the pocket array Marshal Radkis painstakingly arranged, the enemy's main force did not enter at all. If you fight out now, you may be able to defeat the enemy, you may want to destroy or destroy the enemy army, it is simply impossible.
Originally, Franz was prepared to suppress the Hungarian rebellion after defeating the Kingdom of Sardinia, but now it is obviously impossible. You can only start with the Hungarians to force the Kingdom of Sardinia to send a decisive battle.
Many people understand that if the Austrians suppress the internal rebellion, the Kingdom of Sardinia will have no chance of victory.
"Quicken the preparations for the war. Once it is ready, send troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion. How long will it take for the Prime Minister?" Franz asked in confusion.
"His Royal Highness, the strategic supplies are almost ready, and the military deployment has basically been completed. Except for the newly established provinces directly under the Central Government, it takes time to integrate.
As soon as next Saturday, May 5th, we can launch an attack! Felix thought about it and said
