Chapter 950: Cannon Fodder Mobilization

Franz just smiled at the Russian fairy's mind. In fact, this kind of whimsical plan has always been emerging in real life.
Politicians are also human beings. Since they are human beings, they sometimes get confused. Especially when interests are involved, the probability of being confused is even greater.
On the surface, the Russians, under the banner of an ally, took the lead in occupying France. Austria is indeed powerless, but the Vienna government can drag it!
There is no way to forcefully divide France, and there is no way to delay the negotiation time. If one year doesn’t work, then two years, if two years don’t work, then three years and five years. Can the Russian army live in peace with the French people over time?
Austria can definitely watch the excitement. After the Russians' dingy withdrawal, they will consider dealing with the French problem.
If it were not for the trouble of coordinating the relations between Britain, France and Russia, and there is almost no possibility of success, Franz would really like to push, and then slowly appreciate the game between Tsarist Fist and French nationalism.
"Give power to the troops on the front line so that they can end the war as soon as possible. The soldiers are still waiting to come back for Christmas!"
Now it’s only July, and Christmas is almost five months away. It’s not difficult to simply defeat the French, but time is tight to sign a treaty before Christmas and then withdraw.
Under normal circumstances, such post-war meetings involving the interests of multiple countries are usually noisy, and it may be delayed for two or three years.
There is no doubt that Franz does not want to continue to drag on. There are various signs that the Hanoverian government has become active again, behind which there are British shadows.
You must know that internal enemies are far more terrible than external enemies. Once these guys are allowed to move the interest groups of various states, the trouble will be great.
Franz doesn't want to test humanity, humanity is the least reliable in the face of interests. The most important thing is to create established facts as soon as possible.
With this status, Franz is not afraid of these guys making noise. Can't move the king below, can't change the state government? Whoever dares to jump out and do things, collect black material and get him down.
As long as the military, tariffs, diplomacy, and currency-issuing powers of various states are gathered, and justice, culture and education are unified, no matter how much noise there is, there will be no big waves.
Today is different from the past. In order to gather these powers, the governments of the following states under Franz had battled wits and courage for more than ten years, and only got them bit by bit. Now it can be done in one step.
As for the conflict of the state government, it can be resolved through negotiation. As long as the interests are right, there is nothing to lose.
Fooling, buying and wooing, coercion and temptation, Franz has long been familiar with these routines. Anyway, the core is to kill the enemy while drawing in allies.
Compared to killing chickens and monkeys, sometimes the effect of killing monkeys and chickens is better. The more you dance now, the faster you will die in the future.
Franz didn't worry about someone making a fuss, the most worried thing was that these guys did nothing. After all, only the more you do, the more problems will be exposed.
If there is that kind of innocent politician, in fact, Franz can't do anything, after all, the emperor also has to talk about the rules of the game.
However, this kind of people who are committed to the public will not become an obstacle to unity. After all, after this war, the idea of ​​great unification has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
...
With an order from Franz, the war ignited again, and there was no single inch of pure land from Central Europe to Southern Europe.
The Southern Front Coalition Command and representatives of various Italian states have gathered together to participate in this conference of great political and military significance.
Since ancient times, the Italian region has been full of princes, and the chaos of the situation is second only to the German region. Now that the German region is about to be unified, the Italian region also needs to be sorted out.
In the past, in order to unite all forces that can be united, for the purpose of wooing Italian nationalists, the Vienna government has never publicly stated its position on the disposal of the Italian region.
Now that the overall situation is set, there is no need to delay it. A clear conclusion is needed at this time whether to form the Kingdom of Italy in partnership or to split the family into several states directly.
In a sense, this meeting is a cutscene. The big figures who are eligible to participate in the meeting know the intentions of the Vienna government.
Everyone has no objection, except that the arms are not over the thighs, and the more important thing is the distribution of benefits. It is easy to establish a unified kingdom of Italy. The question is who should be the leader?
Let alone the specific distribution of benefits, the ownership of the light crown is a difficult problem.
In the past, the Italian independent organization was dominated. Although the organization was fragmented, there was a nominal leader Vittorio Emanuele III.
Now it's different. The royal families of all states are mixed in. No one is more noble than anyone, and behind these people are a group of interest groups, and no one can give in.
Since we can't agree, we can only fly solo. It’s never been unified anyway, and it’s no big deal to play separately.
Separation is easy, but it is difficult to separate. Originally, there were territorial disputes between the Italian states, but now it has become a mess because of the French occupation.
As the parties disputed, it was Austria's turn to come forward for arbitration. And because the states have not really restored power, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is inconvenient to directly intervene, and the heavy task of mediating the contradictions between the parties falls on General Morks.
"The purpose of inviting everyone here today must be clear to everyone. The French are about to be defeated. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, the pattern of the post-war Italy area needs to be clarified now.
First of all, the states will re-independence. The series of tasks of forming a government and restoring production are the tasks of the new government. What to do will be handled by the governments of various states in the future.
What we have to do today is to preliminarily delineate the territorial boundaries of each state. In principle, we focus on historical origins and make comprehensive considerations with reference to the contributions made by various states in the anti-French war.
You can put forward any requirements and suggestions, and we will discuss them together and strive to come up with a result that is satisfactory to all parties. "
"Discussing", that is completely thinking too much. The so-called "historical origin" is nothing more than restoring the territory before the war, with a little change at most, and the overall consistency remains the same.
What can really be discussed is "contribution" distribution. Because everyone is very knowledgeable about current affairs and has joined the anti-French alliance, it is impossible for the Vienna government to allocate the territory of one state to another.
So this part of the land to be divided can only be released by the French. In a sense, this gathering was also a preview of the post-war sharing meeting.
Morks chose to hold a meeting at this time, and the most important thing was that the Turin offensive and defensive battle was about to begin. If there is no interest stimulus, except for the Kingdom of Sardinia, the enthusiasm of Italians in other countries is not high enough!
The seizure of French territory is definitely exciting news for the Italians who have suffered from French rule.
As for the issue of Austria taking the opportunity to expand after France is divided, this is not an issue that everyone should be concerned about.
As an enemy, the Italians naturally hope that France is naturally the weaker the better, and it is best to divide it up directly.
Vittorio Emanuele III proposed: "Your Excellency Commander, the conflict between our families is not very controversial. The key to the conflict is to drive out the French.
Since 1870, the French have levied extravagance in Italy, and we have the right to claim damages from the French government.
As long as the French have paid a sufficient price to make up for the losses of all of us, the small disputes we have can easily be resolved.
In order to drive away the French as quickly as possible, our Kingdom of Sardinia is willing to do our best. Three hundred thousand Sardinian soldiers are now ready to attack the enemy at any time. "
Among the Italian states, only the Kingdom of Sardinia and France have a direct border, and they bear the greatest military pressure. On the contrary, once France is divided, the Kingdom of Sardinia is also the biggest beneficiary.
After clarifying Austria's intentions, Vittorio Emmanuele III naturally wanted to cooperate. In particular, the Sardinian capital that will be regained next is their responsibility.
Morkes smiled slightly: "Very well, the next Turin offensive and defensive battle will be left to you.
On behalf of the Austrian government, I am here to make a promise that after the war, everyone will receive at least 30,000 square kilometers of territorial compensation and a large amount of war compensation.
But these land and compensation will only be distributed to the states and individuals that have made contributions.
You don’t have to worry about the difficulty of enclave governance. We are responsible for coordinating the exchange of territories if they are allocated to states; if they are allocated to individuals, they are allowed to establish an independent state, and Austria will provide security protection. "
Glancing at the performance of the crowd, there was no enthusiasm, and Morks was slightly disappointed.
It's right to think about it. Just after being severely beaten by the society, it was the time when the country was most eager to become strong. People of insight want to unify the Italian region, who will go out to establish a country independently.
Don't say these soft-footed nobles in Italy, even the Austrian group of military aristocrats, have not heard of anyone who wants to establish an independent country for so many years.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to be the boss. The problem is that it's not the Middle Ages anymore, and it's long past the era when the village chief was king.
In this world where Dharma and descent are taught, it is not like having a gun to be the king of grass heads. Without the support of the subjects, the founding of an independent nation is just looking for death.
Unless you are a member of the royal family, have legal succession to the throne, and have the support of the local people, otherwise, even if all the powers support together, you will not be able to secure the throne.
From this point of view, Morks’ promise to the individual is
flower in the mirror, moon in the water
which is visible but not touchable.
The real gains are the states. Except for the Kingdom of Sardinia who is the king himself, the rest are only representatives. Since it is a part-time job, it is normal not to be excited.
