Chapter 405： The powers want to eat meat (1/2)
In Paris, Napoleon III was stunned by the stuffing cake falling from the sky.
France's diplomatic situation has always been bad, and European countries are rejecting them if they are absent, and many activities do not take them at all.
Among the four major European powers, they have the lowest political influence, and their actions are slightly out of the ordinary, and their neighbors immediately prepare for the war as if they were the enemy.
After Napoleon III's succession, many efforts were made to improve the diplomatic environment, but they still had little effect.
Governments have said very well in their mouths, but they are still strictly guarded in actual action. Especially after the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, a joint defense alliance emerged directly.
At the beginning Napoleon III was still a little worried, for fear of another anti-French alliance. Over time, he got used to it.
Take precautions, and anyway, these countries dare not take any further steps. The actions of the neighbours justified the strength of France from the side.
The emperor has been doing it for a long time and has been touted for a long time.
As time went on, Napoleon III's ambition also grew day by day. Fortunately, France did not win in the Near East War, otherwise he would be stronger.
Faced with the joint defense of various countries, Napoleon III still did not dare to mess up. He knew it a little bit.
In order to break the game, Napoleon III also made a lot of efforts, for example: maintain a good relationship with the British Olympics as much as possible.
Drooling over the Rhineland region, Napoleon III restrained his desires and didn't take any action; he looked back at the Italian region, and he also held back.
The lesson left by his uncle told him that the anti-French alliance would really kill people. Without a reasonable excuse, as long as France expands on the European continent, it will lead to boycotts from various countries.
The kingdom of Sardinia was killed by itself, and no one could say anything. Now several states in Italy are seen dead by Austria, leaving no room for them to intervene.
Without Francesco II's call for help and no excuse for interference, now Napoleon III can only sit and watch.
Napoleon said in a spirited manner: ”The opportunity is coming. Which of our troops is free, we will send the two Sicilian kingdoms as soon as possible. If Austria sends troops to suppress the rebellion, there will be no room for us to intervene.”
There is no doubt that the rebels of Gabori were directly ignored by him. In the impression of Napoleon III, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was only 5 and the combat effectiveness of the rebels was less than 5.
In the face of the absolute strength gap, even if it is slighted, the problem is not large.
The two Sicilian kingdoms are close at hand, and the French can invest enough power to destroy any rebels.
Originally in time and space, the red shirt army led by Gabrielle and the secret support of the Kingdom of Sardinia, this time the Kingdom of Sardinia has done ancient, naturally will not support him.
If the U.S. federal government counts, Gabori also has supporters. It's just that this supporter is still licking the wounds. It is precisely when he is a low-key person that he has no ability to support them, and dare not support them.
Secretary of the Army Edmond-Lebeuf replied: ”His Majesty, the Third Infantry Division, the Fourth Division, the Seventh Division, the Ninth Division, the Twelfth Division, the Fifteenth Division, and the Second Cavalry Division can be relocated. . ”
It can be seen that Edmund-Lebeuf was very familiar with the military deployment of France, and spoke out all the mobile force numbers at one go.
Now France is in its heyday, and a large number of mobile troops have been maintained in peacetime. If war breaks out, they can easily mobilize millions of troops.
One or two divisions were enough to interfere in the civil war between the two Sicilian kingdoms, and the number of insurgents in Gapoli is now only 30,000 or 40,000.
Napoleon III immediately ordered: ”Let the Fourth Division, the Seventh Division, the Ninth Division, and the Fifteenth Division form an intervention army, appoint Marshal Patrice McMahon as commander, and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
The navy sent escorts and blocked the coastline of the two Sicilian kingdoms, prohibiting any ship from docking in the rebel-controlled area. ”
Obviously, it was not just to help suppress the rebellion by mobilizing four infantry divisions at one time. The rebels are not yet worthy of Napoleon III's attention, but more to deal with the possible conflict between France and Austria.
This time it was equivalent to France putting its hand into the back garden of Austria, and it was normal for the Vienna government to react excessively.
”Yes, Your Majesty,” Secretary of the Army Edmond Lebeuf replied.
As a result, Foreign Minister Abraham was very injured. Interfering in the civil war between the two Sicilian kingdoms will not only cause dissatisfaction in Austria, but also upset the British and Spanish.
The Spaniards ignore for the moment, they don't have the energy to manage so much now. But the London and Vienna reactions cannot be ignored, and in the event of a chain reaction, it is troublesome.
Foreign Minister Abraham reminded: ”Your Majesty, the question of interference in the civil war between the two Sicilian kingdoms, I am afraid to consider in the long run. Now take the risk to intervene, we will be under great international pressure.
This is inevitable. It can be imagined that as long as the French army enters the two Sicilian kingdoms, the protest book of Inocé will appear in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
What kind of consequences will be caused is unknown, anyway, there will be no good things.
