Chapter 53: Black pot from the sky (1/2)

After the Austrian army abandoned Lombardy on April 1, 1848, the Sardinian Kingdom's army, which was clamoring, quickly completed its replacement.

In the cheers of the people, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia entered Lombardy without any blood, as if the good days they were looking for were coming.

Before they left, Marshal Radkis helped propagate them. In everyone's mind, it seemed that the Kingdom of Sardinia could meet the interests of all people, including Republicans.

The tricolor flag fluttered in the wind, and the people in the streets and alleys congratulated each other.

”Long live the Republic!”

Throughout Lombardy, a temporary government headed by Kazati was established.

The Austrian army seems to be moving too quickly, and even the political prisoners in the prison have not had time to take them away. These people have become part of the interim government.

If anyone notices, the granary in Milan is empty. After the war between Sardinia and Austria, Marshal Radsky solicited food from Lombardy on the grounds of unified food distribution.

Due to time constraints, the rural areas did not have time to implement, but the grain in Milan was indeed concentrated.

The Austrian army secretly transported a part of it out of the city, and the rest was naturally poured with oil, and it was done by adding another fire.

The food is gone, and the people are not panicked at all. Hasn't the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia already entered the city?

Which one?

Prior to the withdrawal of the Austrian army, there were rumors that King Charles wanted everyone to burn the food in the city and force the Austrians to withdraw, so that Milan would not be destroyed in the war.

Therefore, Marshal Radkis sent people to burn most of the food two days in advance, and the Austrian soldiers also called on the people to fight the fire.

The people of Milan, who are eager for independence, will naturally not give in. Everyone chooses to reject it very heroically. Even if they are beaten, they still do not give in.

In the end, they won, successfully burned the granary, forced the Austrian army back, and saved Milan.

The spring breeze President Kazati just had a less friendly talk with General Bardolio of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and directly lost his good mood.

The timid Sardinian army did not dare to chase the Austrian army, it just lost the face of the great Italian nation.

This time, unlike in history, the Austrian troops evacuated themselves, but they were not driven out. The rebels in the city have long been wiped out.

The army under Kazati's interim government is still being formed, and even he himself just came out of the prison.

Under the roof, people had to bow their heads.

The interim government does not have the capital to talk to the Kingdom of Sardinia. People do not chase the enemy, and Kazati has no way. The interim government cannot send troops to pursue the enemy.

The new Minister of the Interior, Zilaya, hurriedly came over and said, ”His President, there is no food in the city. We have no ability to provide food and grass for our allies!”

This is an embarrassing problem. They should have discovered these problems, but unfortunately, they were in prison when the food was set on fire.
