Chapter 102: The Kingdom of Sardinia, whose life is hanging by a thread

Charlie Albert waved his hand and said, "Just teach them how to use guns, and at this point they don't care so much anymore.

The focus now is to boost morale, inspire their patriotism, and use courage if they don't have enough training.

As long as we dare to fight and work hard, even if we exchange three soldiers or five soldiers for one soldier of the enemy, we can also hold back the Austrians and create favorable conditions for the negotiation! "

He has long been disillusioned with his fighting power. The regular army of the Sardinian Kingdom has been hanged and beaten. Can the cannon fodder force that is temporarily formed now go against the sky

If the quality is not good, then use the quantity to make up, and some of them are people in the local battle.

After long-term propaganda by the government, ordinary people have put all the hardships of life on Austria, and now they have a mass base.

Army Minister Li Qi said nervously: "Your Majesty, our weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient. Many soldiers share a gun with two or three people. This is the result of our encouragement of soldiers to bring their own weapons."

It is natural to have no confidence to speak after a defeat. If Marshal Bardorio had not killed himself at the last moment and resisted all the responsibilities, the interior of the Sardinian Kingdom might have changed.

Even so, the pressure on the government has grown significantly. It can be said that the Austrian army came to the city at this time, saving the Sardinian government to a certain extent.

King Charles-Albert, a political veteran, took the opportunity to divert domestic conflicts, and under the banner of defending the country, he arranged all the unstable factors into the army, and placed it on the front line of the battle against Austria.

If the Austrian army can help him get rid of these people, I guess Charles-Albert would not mind giving them a big medal.

Of course, this is impossible, and Charlie Albert would not be grateful to the Austrians. Unless these people are killed, the Austrian army will go home.

It's a pity that now is the weakest time of the Sardinian Kingdom. If you don't bite down a piece of meat, is Austria still embarrassed to pretend to be a foreign power

"I mobilized the people in the country to collect donations. I personally took the lead and donated all the guns in my collection. I can make up as much as I can, and if I don't have enough, I will equip some cold weapons to make do.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is communicating with Britain and France, and it will not be long before we can get enough weapons and equipment. "Charlie Albert thought about it and said

Li Qi's heart was broken. He really wanted to ask what King Charlie-Albert thought. What kind of things are in your collection, don't you have any idea in your heart

Guns that can be used in China have long been requisitioned. Now the royal family's collections are basically antique guns, and the oldest one is a 14th-century matchlock gun.

These weapons are fine for decoration, but if they are used on the battlefield, it is murder.

The Sardinian Kingdom is one of the origins of the Renaissance. The nobles here are pursuing historical and cultural heritage. Naturally, the older the weapons that everyone collects, the more historical stories the better.

At the time of this mobilization, all the young people of noble age in the Sardinian Kingdom had entered the army to serve, and they had already brought out the weapons that could be used.

That's okay, no matter how old the weapon is, as long as it can shoot out bullets, it can kill people.

The most tragic thing is to use cold weapons to recharge. This is probably to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the Austrian army. Facing the unreliable boss, Li Qi finally chose - "Your Majesty is wise."

The Prime Minister Azelio couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the French have rejected our request to buy weapons, and they even learned from the Swiss next door to strictly investigate smuggling and prohibit the flow of weapons and ammunition into our country."

The Fao secret treaty is no longer a secret, but for the Sardinian kingdom, an Austria is dying, and if there is another France, they don't even have the courage to resist.

The Sardinian government all chose to pretend to be confused, trying to rely on the internal contradictions of the French government to get out of this crisis.

But now they can't hold it anymore. The neutral Switzerland embargoes their arms. That's a normal operation. Now the French are doing the same thing, which is just plain malicious.

Don't forget that before the war broke out, the French government encouraged them to send troops and promised a lot of weapon assistance. Not to mention aid now, even normal trade cannot go smoothly.

There is no way, no matter how much they promise benefits to the French, they can't be as straightforward as Franz did.

Austria could cede half of the Sardinian kingdom to the French.

In the face of interests, politicians' promises are almost like farts.

The French have a long history of ambition in Italy. Because of the restraint of the Habsburg family, they have worked hard for hundreds of years in vain.

Now the opportunity is coming. Politicians need the political prestige brought by expanding their territories, capitalists need a bigger market, and noble officers need military merit.

So many people have interests and appeals, and naturally it cannot be blocked by the diplomatic efforts of the Kingdom of Sardinia. If it is not for the internal dominance struggle, the French army will be killed at this time.

"boom"!

Charlie Albert slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Damn French, they should all go to hell. If we knew that in the anti-French war, we shouldn't have let them go so easily!"

Everyone chose not to hear the king's roar. What was the situation in Sardinia during the Anti-French War? Needless to say

"Your Majesty, the British have agreed to mediate this war. At this time, Mr. Palmerston, the British Foreign Secretary, has left London and is on his way to Vienna." Azelio hurriedly said good news.

When the life of the Sardinian kingdom was hanging by a thread, the internationalist Parisians launched the June Uprising to save the Sardinian kingdom.

The June Revolution in Paris is very legendary. After the French bourgeois government successfully seized power, it successfully linked up with Austria and Russia.

The Prussian liberals sent a note to France, inviting the French government to support the Polish independence movement, which was naturally rejected by the French government.

After the news came, in order to show solidarity with the Polish Revolution, 150,000 Paris workers took to the streets to demonstrate on the morning of June 15, 1848, and occupied the parliament building, asking the French government to form an expeditionary force to support the Polish independence movement.

There is no doubt that such an internationalist spirit was rejected by the French government, and the contradiction between the two sides began to intensify. On June 23, a revolution broke out in Paris again.

Internal instability in France, in order to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, the Paris government had to cancel the plan to send troops to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
