Chapter 56： Empty check (1/2)

News of the occupation of Lombardy by the Kingdom of Sardinia reached France, triggering a shock in the interim government.

The French support the war between Sardinia and Austria, only to expel Austria from Italy, to make Lombardy and Venice independent, but there is no plan to make Sardinia unified Italy.

Since receiving the news that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied Lombardy without a blood blade, the head of the interim government, Alfas de La Martin, was in a bad mood.

Anyway, Austria is also one of the four major powers in continental Europe. If you were so persuaded, you gave up Lombardy?

The correct way of operation was to defeat both the Sardinian army and the wounded, and then it was unable to suppress the domestic rebellion and was forced to abandon the Italian region. The Sardinian kingdom also suffered heavy losses in the war and was unable to annex Lombardy.

The scripts they wrote are actually changed from the beginning. It's because their group of screenwriters haven't changed their rights. Investors kicked them off early.

”His President, Mr. Mentened, the Ambassador of Austria, is here.”

The voice of the attendant sounded in his ear, and Alfons returned to God and said, ”Please come in.”

After a routine embarrassment on diplomatic occasions, Mentened led the topic.

”Her President, what do you think of Italy?”

Alfons smiled slightly. The Austrians were willing to send representatives to negotiate with them. This was a good opportunity to increase French influence.

”Mr. Mentened, every nation has the right to pursue national independence, and I think it is a good choice to let Lombardy be independent!”

Nate Ned has already scolded his mother, co-authoring this is not the French territory, you don't feel bad? Lombardy and Venice are financially and tax-intensive, and it is not easy for Austria to give up!

”Mr. President, I think this issue should be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Lombardy region is an integral part of the Austrian Empire, and we will not make any concessions on this issue.

Rather, let's discuss the rest of Italy, such as the division of power in the Kingdom of Sardinia. In this regard, we should have a common language! ”

The French must be interested in dividing Italy. Even if the interim government is busy with domestic struggles, it knows that this is indispensable.

A unified Italy is not in the interest of Austria, nor is it in the interest of the French. The Mediterranean is too small to accommodate so many large countries.

If Austria does not want to abandon Lombardy, the war with the Kingdom of Sardinia will surely continue.

The Austrian ambassador came to the door, and it was clear that the Italian division was only for the benefit exchange with France, and the French government gave up supporting the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Alfons didn't have many choices. The battle that took place in Lombardy had made it clear that there was no exchange of fire between the two sides, which meant that the Austrian army had not been damaged.

Unless foreign aid is supported, he does not think that the Kingdom of Sardinia can win Austria, and the gap between the two sides' strengths is too great. This cannot be remedied by personal ability.

The interim government cannot provide too much support to the Kingdom of Sardinia, and what benefits can it gain by supporting the Kingdom of Sardinia?

France wanted to swallow Italy alone, but Alvons didn't have that ambition.

Although the Vienna system collapsed, the Russians warned him that he hadn't forgotten, and the British were staring beside him. If this step was taken, he would single out Europe.

”Mr. Mentened, how do you think the division is more reasonable?” Alvons asked with concern.
