Chapter 404： Times make heroes (2/2)
Prussian William I, Alexander II of Russia, Napoleon III of France, Emperor Meiji of Japan, Queen Victoria of England, and the protagonist themselves did not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
These people are relatively well-known and have a low sense of existence. For example: Rama IV and Rama V in Thailand can protect themselves in troubled times.
Another example: Abdul Megid I of the Ottoman Empire, promoted modernization reforms, and continued the life of the Ottoman Empire.
Including Carl XV of Sweden, Leopold II of Belgium, Nicholas I of Montenegro, Luxembourg ...
If these people change the time point, they can set off the situation of an era, unfortunately everyone will run into each other.
Naturally, the king of a small country does not have much room to play. Being able to survive in the slits of the powers is a kind of ability.
This requires superb political art, and definitely not just salted fish. Every time a team is a test for a small country.
Now it is the turn of Alexander II and William I to PK, and the winner will continue the road of dominance, and the loser can only be eliminated, and everyone is stunned.
King Sardinia has become a sacrifice of this era, being the first to be eliminated and exiled in London.
The leisurely days are short-lived, and they are soon broken.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg reported: ”Her Majesty, Francesco II sent a call for help, and the rebels led by Garibal have crossed the Strait of Messina and continued to march north. .
At present, the situation in the country has been out of control, and rebellions are emerging endlessly. Thirteen large and small rebel forces have emerged in the two Sicilian kingdoms.
Just three days ago, Gabori called on the rebels from all over to go to the Naples Alliance. The capitals of the two Sicilian kingdoms are likely to be insecure.
The most troublesome thing was Francesco II's idiot, who actually sent a request telegram to Napoleon III at the same time, which further complicated the problem. ”
Rubbing his forehead, Franz also found the problem thorny. If he only asked for help in Austria, he wouldn't have to say that he immediately dispatched troops to help suppress the rebellion.
Regardless of how the later generations brag about the Red Shirts, Franz dismissed them. The combat effectiveness of the army needs to be supported by national strength. The two Sicilian kingdoms are an agricultural country.
The navy blocked the port without ammunition replenishment, and the rebels became guerrillas for up to three or five months.
Not any country can play guerrilla warfare. The two Sicilian kingdoms have a limited area and are divided into two by the strait. Their population is only 8.7 million, and they simply do not have the ability to fight long-term.
In fact, these methods are all superfluous, just send troops to run over. If even an Italian rebel is not sure, the Austrian army can be disbanded.
Franz said dissatisfied: ”Francisco II did not ask the Spanish for help, but actually found Napoleon III. It seems that the French have done a lot of small actions under our eyes.
As soon as the General Staff came up with a combat plan, the two Sicilian kingdoms could no longer fall into the hands of the French, or the Mediterranean would become a French reserve. ”
The French knew about Franz, but he never imagined that Francesco II would be affected.
Now asking the French for help is all about getting the wolf into the room.
At that time, it is easy to ask God, but difficult to send God. Such a good opportunity, it is no wonder that the French do not take root.
Even if you want to check and balance, you can't choose ambitious France! Even allowing the British to intervene is better than sending the French.
Without Francesco II's call for help, the French would never dare to reach out to Italy. Now the situation is different, and the two Sicilian kingdoms came to their door.
The conflict between Italy and France is about to erupt. For Franz, this may be only a small trouble. For the two Sicilian kingdoms, it means survival.
Franz can sell the Kingdom of Sardinia, can't he still sell the Kingdom of Sicily? As for whether the French will be bigger, that's the case anyway.
As long as the interests are appropriate, many issues can be discussed. In turn, the French may sacrifice the two Sicilian kingdoms in exchange for concessions in other parts of Austria.
It is not so fun to use Yiyi to control Yiyi. Even if the two countries can't talk about the exchange of interests, can't they divide the two Sicilian kingdoms?
The powers of the major powers are so high, as long as their interests are sufficient, they can enter. The two Sicilian kingdoms are not a core interest for Austria, they can only be regarded as marginal areas, and they are similar for the French.
Of course, if Napoleon III really wanted to unify Italy, then there is no need to say that this is an essential link.
The big problem is that with Sicily as the boundary, France and Austria divide the interests of the Mediterranean and jointly squeeze out the British.
At present, the cooperation between the two countries is still very happy. The British were suppressed by the Mediterranean in the Mediterranean, and the tentacles reaching Egypt were blocked by the two countries.
