Chapter 95: God assists

"The enemy has five divisions." Marshal Bardario's first reaction was that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and this judgment was quickly overturned.
The main forces of the Austrian army are in Hungary. The traffic in Hungary is not good this year. It is not so simple to send troops from Hungary to Trento.
By train? Haven't the railways from Hungary been repaired yet?
Or cavalry? In terms of time, the cavalry could indeed come within a week.
But this is irrational in the military. Unless the Vienna government is flooded, the cavalry of the five divisions will be sent to Trento!
Marshal Bardolio is not without doubt that the frontline officers lied about the military situation. This is an enemy that can defeat three Sardinian divisions overnight. No matter how you look at it, the enemy's strength will not be less!
"Does the enemy have had a large number of troops?" Marshal Bardolio asked in confusion.
"No. Except on May 18, they sent two regiments to reinforce Trento, and there was no major military movement." Chief of Staff Outlet replied affirmatively
It is simply impossible to draw troops from the Venice area. Austria ’s total troops are less than 100,000. If five infantry divisions were drawn from it, the defense line would have been empty. How could this have hidden their eyes?
After a moment of silence, Marshal Bardolio smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid the enemy's reinforcements have arrived.
Perhaps Hungary's reinforcements were just a cover for the enemy, and they were deliberately used to induce us to be fooled. The real reinforcements came from Austria.
The Republic of Hungary is just a group of black people. The Austrian government does not need to mobilize so many troops if it wants to suppress the rebellion.
I'm afraid the enemy was bluffing from the beginning. The old fox of Radkis deliberately made an illusion of insufficient strength to seduce us.
Austrian troops sent to Hungary to suppress the revolution did not have 400,000 at all, and a large part of them were directed at us. "
After listening to the marshal's brain supplement, everyone's face changed greatly, this is the most reasonable explanation.
They don't think that the three Sardinian divisions can still do three Austrian regiments. If the difference in strength between the two sides is so large, this war will be over.
Everyone is politically wise. Pit teammates are the most commonly used means of diplomacy. It is normal for Hungarians not to tell them the news in order to send them to Venice as soon as possible.
Outlet said with anxiety: "Marshal, Austria is also a major European country again, and if the Vienna government is willing, it will not be a problem to invest 200,000 to 300,000 troops in the Venice area.
If we can't figure out the enemy's reinforcements, we will probably lose a lot in the subsequent battles! "
This is a very real question. How did Austria send troops to Trento without knowing it? How many support troops are there?
Weapons and equipment and firepower configuration are all things that they need to figure out immediately.
Marshal Bardolio thought for a moment and said, "Send someone immediately to investigate the strength of the enemy. It is impossible for so many troops and enemies to hide, and they will leave clues."
After a pause, he pointed to the unlucky guard who reported the military situation, and asked angrily: "Stupid, how about our military casualties?"
The unfortunate guard who was named hurriedly replied: "Marshal, all three divisions participating in the Battle of Trento have been severely injured, and the casualties are still being counted. It is estimated that the loss of personnel will not be less than 10,000 ..."
Hearing the specific loss figures, everyone's faces were discolored, which means that for a long time in the future, the troops of the three divisions will lose their combat effectiveness.
"Marshal, since the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, it is almost impossible for us to conquer Venice. It is better to stop the attack and keep the results in our hands first!" Major General Mantua offered rashly
They really didn't want to fight anymore. The Austrian army was not as wasteful as politicians described it, but it was very powerful.
From the outbreak of the Battle of Venice to the present, they have not taken much advantage. At this time, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and their strength advantage ceased to exist, and this battle was even more difficult to fight.
Marshal Bardario thought for a while and said, "Order the troops to stop the offense and turn to defense on the spot.
General Mantua, you lead the 4th, 5th, and 8th Divisions to the Ara area to defend and watch the enemy of Trento.
The deployment of troops in other regions will remain unchanged. Everyone will perform his or her own duties. I will report the rest to China. Please wait for domestic orders! "
The Sardinians have been completely biased, and the Austrian reinforcements have indeed arrived in the Venice area, but not to Trento, but to Vicenza.
In order to escape responsibility, General Messer lied about the military situation and caused Sardinian Command to make a wrong military deployment, using a large number of mobile forces to defend Trento's non-existent Austrian army.
At this point, Lieutenant General Massey naturally couldn't take care of that much. He was busy catching Zhuang Ding to make up for the shortage of troops.
There was no way. After the enemy's surprise attack, many of his troops broke up. Everyone was in a hurry to escape, and no one could care about gathering troops.
After running to Bergamo, the strength of his three divisions could not reach a full editor. Under these circumstances, Messer was absolutely afraid to report.
In order not to help out, Messer reluctantly chose to pull the money. Anyway, now is the time of war, and if he fought a few battles later, he could smooth the losses.
The Kingdom of Sardinia is not so clean and clear. Messer is still the line of King Charles-Albert. As long as you can pass, everyone will open with one eye closed and one eye closed.
Walking on the streets of Bergamo, looking at the hairy eyes of the people, Sisell only felt creepy and daringly suggested: "General, the situation is not right here, I am afraid it is not a long stay!"
Lieutenant General Massey's performance will be much stronger, sneer and said, "What do you want? A bunch of pariahs, are you worried?"
Popular opinion? This thing has long ceased to exist, the troops retreated to Bergamo, and the military discipline has disappeared.
I smashed the Sardinian soldiers and vented them here. For example, I kindly greeted the young women in the city. When I left, I also collected a service fee.
This is also a European tradition. For thousands of years, while armies of various countries have fought, they have also taken part in robbery. Although the Sardinian army has transformed into a modern army, these bad habits still remain.
In the eyes of a young aristocrat with no conscience, such as Seezel, it is still difficult to accept, but for Messée who had participated in the anti-French war, it did not matter at all.
Cizel said in a dilemma, "But if we do this, General, will there be any trouble in the reunification of Italy in the future? Those parliamentarians, if you talk about these issues, I am afraid ..."
Messer patted Sisser's shoulder and sighed, "Sizer, you think too much.
Not to mention whether we can unify Italy, even if it is really unified, no one will remember these things.
Don't forget that the right to speak is always in the hands of a few people. We, the nobles and capitalists, have not moved, as long as they do not hate us! "
Undoubtedly, this battle has knocked out Messer's heart and completely lost confidence in this war.
At this time he was not thinking about how to win the war, but trying to escape punishment and avoid being liquidated after the war.
This is a society of moral degradation and money first. There is nothing that money cannot solve. Even if it is, there must be not enough money!
General Messer is not the coach, and even if he needs a scapegoat to defeat, he is not qualified. Now search for a huge sum of money, take it back to China for activities, and throw away the responsibility for defeat, which is undoubtedly the best choice for your own interests.
The people of Bergamo were very unfortunately sacrificed, and they fully felt what the "Sardinian kingdom sends warmth".
