Bardolio still underestimated the impact of defeating Austria. For political needs, King Charles directly awarded him the rank of marshal.
For the Italians, the defeat of Austria in this era is really exciting. If the victory continues in the future, I am afraid that the Italian states will award him the rank of marshal.
Through the promotion of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Bardolio quickly became a hero in Italy, but this hero is not easy to be taken and cannot leave a stain.
For example, now, the people in Milan can't buy food, so they turn to him to solve the problem. Who made him the mastermind of this fire
As an Italian hero, you must count your words. The promise to provide food to everyone must be fulfilled now.
General Bardorio's political class is still a pass, no, he should be Marshal Bardorio now, although he has not been officially canonized, it doesn't hurt.
The Lombardy region is also so large that it is impossible for the Austrian army to take all the grain in a short period of time. The grain in the hands of the grain merchants is gone, and the noble manor will always keep a part of it for their own consumption.
While urging domestic grain shipments, he fooled the nobles of Lombardy into getting some of the grain from their manor.
It is a pity that the light industry in the Lombardy region developed well in this era. Most of the nobles sold their grain to processing factories. Now it is the spring ploughing period, and everyone does not have much grain in their hands.
After searching the neighborhood, Bardolio reluctantly found that it was a drop in the bucket. It had been searched once, and how much was left
"Your Excellency Marshal, the domestic food has not been delivered yet. The food we have collected in the city is very limited. According to the current situation, plus our military rations, it can last up to three days.
The grain collection team sent out may still have some gains, but they have already been raided by the Austrians, so I am afraid there will not be much gains in the surrounding areas of Milan! "Major General Manstu said with a frown (promoted)
At this time, the grain of the Sardinian Kingdom was actually being shipped to Milan, but the traffic in Italy in this era was not very good, and the transportation capacity was very limited.
It is not so easy to meet the consumption of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. This is just the beginning, and soon, there will be food shortages in the countryside as well.
It can be said that the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the Lombardy region, which would not only fail to increase its strength in the short term, but would instead be a heavy economic burden.
Bardolio has felt the pressure, and the democrats in Milan have put forward an independent demand to him, but he has temporarily fooled him.
In addition, at this time, the city lacked food and they had to rely on the Kingdom of Sardinia, so that no one caused trouble. Once the crisis passed, I am afraid it would be another situation.
"I will explain this situation to the people. Now, many residents in the city still have a little food in their homes. From tomorrow, everyone will only distribute rations for the seventh floor.
In addition, the food collected from the surrounding areas of Milan should be able to support five or six days, and the domestic food can almost be shipped by then. "Marshal Bardolio analyzed.
There is no doubt that reducing the distribution of food will arouse people's dissatisfaction with them, but he has thought of all the ways to make food.
The Sardinian kingdom had no foundation in Lombardy, and now to maintain the stability of Milan, it had to rely on the nobles and capitalists in the city.
Including the distribution of rations to the people, these local snakes must also do it. These people are not good goods. They can live very well under the rule of Austria, but it is not something that honest people can do.
Under the circumstances that Marshal Bardolio didn't know anything, the underground black market had opened. If anyone paid attention, they would find that the food sold here was the relief food from the city.
Corruption is a tradition left over from the Austrian era. The local aristocracy is also the tool of the Austrian government to rule the local area, and naturally inherits this fine tradition.
Not to mention the capitalists, their morality is that they have no morals, and no one can refuse to make a fortune from it, including some officers in the Sardinian army also participated.
When distributing food, if they deduct a little, it is a large sum of money. How could they give up
Do they have to make up for the losses caused by the war
Now that the amount of rations has been cut, isn't that just the right time for them to make a fortune
Marshal Bardorio may not really know, or he may be pretending to be confused.
In short, everyone should have given out seven-tier rations, but only less than five-tier rations ended up in the hands of the people. Even the last five layers of bread were mixed with messy things.
If you are lucky, you may just add bran and mix a part of wheat straw powder. If you are unlucky, you may add wood chips, leaves, pebbles and other materials directly to the black bread you get.
You can't do it, only you can't think of it. Fortunately, the people at the bottom have long been used to this stuff. Anyway, the same is true of the black bread they usually eat. They can also use it as a brick when they fight, killing two birds with one stone.
People with economic ability have become customers of the underground black market one after another. It can't be called a black market.
It's just that the price of goods has been slightly higher, especially the price of food, which has soared more than ten times that before the war. Even some petty bourgeoisie can't stand it.
Of course, the poor only need one way, so bear with it, anyway, Marshal Badorio promised them that it will only take a few days.
We are all patriots. For the sake of our country and our nation, we can endure starvation for a few days.

Paris France
At this time, the bourgeois provisional government was busy with internal struggles.
On March 17, the Blanquists organized 150,000 people to take to the streets to demonstrate. The contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie was ignited in Paris.
When the Kingdom of Sardinia decided to send troops to attack Austria, the provisional government still supported it. Of course, this support was only verbal, and they were unable to give substantial support.
Franz still miscalculated the situation in France, and now the situation in France is not good. The provisional government, which represents the interests of the bourgeoisie, has issued a series of policies that favor the capitalists, which naturally harms the interests of ordinary people.
For example, on March 9, the Provisional Government issued a decree, stipulating that the cash payment of savings banks should be reduced, and those who withdraw deposits exceeding 100 francs will be paid to devalued national securities.
