It is not easy to be an allies. The major European powers have many conflicts, but Austria can form an alliance with them. Once they stand in the team, the enemy will be left.

Perhaps Metternich had seen through the essence of the matter very early on, and after the anti-French war, he took the initiative to shrink Austria's sphere of influence, worked hard to balance the strength of European countries, and put Austria in a transcendent position.

In this era, these diplomatic measures were considered successful. The only failure was that Austria's internal reform failed and its own strength did not keep up.

Without sufficient strength, it is naturally impossible to continue to allow the Vienna system to continue, and Austria has to make a new choice.

"Wait first and see the bargaining chips given by the British. If they continue to support Italian unification, then the Kingdom of Sardinia cannot be kept.

At worst, we can suffer some losses and help the French manage their territory first. When their domestic situation stabilizes, we will sell it to them!" Franz said fiercely

On the issue of Italy, the French can undoubtedly buy it. They have long been eyeing the Italian region, while Austria's strategic focus is not here at all, and there is no core conflict of interest between the two sides.

...

In the Kingdom of Sardinia, Charlie Albert has become an ant on the hot pan, and the development of the war is too far from his expectations.

In the age of hot weapons, wars can no longer be won by relying on a large number of people.

Even with the unprecedented outbreak of the Sardinian army, the local combat morale was 200%, but it still could not change the essence of the mob.

In addition, the lack of weapons and ammunition is insufficient, so many soldiers' equipment remains in the era of cold weapons. No matter how high the patriotism is, it cannot stop the bullets from flying.

"Your Majesty, go quickly! The enemy is about to come to the city, and Turin can't defend it!"

Prime Minister Azelio's loyalty was erupted. After losing his defense line, he immediately notified Charlie Albert to run away.

There is no way. The Kingdom of Sardinia is not large in size. Turin is only more than one hundred kilometers away from Milan. Once the troops on the front collapse, they can only prepare for the Battle of Torino.

Charlie Albert said desperately: "No, I will not go anywhere, I will live and die with Turin!"

"Your Majesty, for the future of the Kingdom of Sardinia, you must leave here immediately." Army Minister Li Qi persuaded with a sad face.

The monarch in the European continent is also a huge bargaining chip. If King Charlie Albert is captured by the Austrian army, then the Kingdom of Sardinia will be almost the same.

This is not to use the emperor to command the princes, but to control the monarch, there are many articles to do, such as forcing Charles Albert to sign a series of treason treaties, or even simply annex the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Even if other powers want to intervene, they have no bargaining chips in the righteous way, which is very unfavorable to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Charlie Albert roared: "Bause, suckling, idiot... If it weren't for your incompetent people, how could we fail? Now, you don't think about how to retreat to the enemy, and you actually want to run away..."

Time passed by minute by minute, and after everyone's repeated persuasion, Charlie Albert ran away. Of course, no one knew whether this had anything to do with the arrival of the Austrian vanguard at the city of Turin.

When British Foreign Secretary Parmeston arrived in Vienna, news of Austrian troops conquering Turin also came.

After sorting out the information in my hands, even Parmeston, who was confident, felt a headache for the problems of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Things were beyond their expectations. According to the British plan, Austria was still competing with the Kingdom of Sardinia for the Lombardy region, and at most Austria had just recovered its lost territory.

But the performance of the Kingdom of Sardinia disappointed them. Perhaps it was the first national mobilization that drained their blood, and the second time the army mobilized was completely giving away heads.

Especially those "patriots" and "Italian nationalists", who originally thought they would fight the Austrian army to the end, but the final result told the world that the mouth cannon is still the mouth cannon.

The loudest slogans are often the fastest deserter on the battlefield. As soon as the battle begins, people don’t know where they go.

Charlie Albert placed these people on the front line as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect that these people would come back and give the position directly to the Austrians.

This made Parmeston feel embarrassed. The price to pay for the Austrian army to negotiate before occupying the Kingdom of Sardinia and then negotiate after occupying the Kingdom of Sardinia is completely different.

If it weren't for the unstable internal situation in France, Austria had no allies, and the difficulties of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he could have gone home directly.

This worry didn't last long, and the welcome banquet prepared by the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs began.

...

Berlin

After receiving diplomatic support from Austria, the arrogance of the bourgeois liberal government rose again. In their opinion, with the support of the entire German Federation, the Russians were not that scary.

Don’t look at European countries supporting the Danes. In fact, only the Russians will take action. The Swedes’ goal is to ensure that the Kingdom of Denmark will not be destroyed, but there is no plan to help the Danes recover lost land.

Especially after the June uprising broke out in order to support the Polish revolution, the liberals' determination to support Polish independence became firmer again.

Frederick William IV could not help it. If the liberals continue to rogue, Pratt-Russia will start fighting. Now 250,000 Russian troops have arrived at the Pratt-Russia border.

The Tsarist government's patience with the Prussian Kingdom had reached its limit, and any act of stimulating the Russians would be unwise.

Before the Crimean War, Russia was well-known on the European continent, and it was not that the Kingdom of Prussia, which had not yet unified Germany, could be compared.

Under his instructions, the Junker nobles who hated the revolution formed the "All Alliance for Defending Property", and also stepped up their control over the army, looking for various excuses to clear the republicans in the army.

A counter-revolutionary coup was brewing within the Kingdom of Prussia. The bourgeois government without experience in fighting seemed to know nothing and continued to implement an ideal unified plan.

...

The UK-Austrian negotiations began, and Parmeston was worried that the Sardinian government would surrender to Austria, so their investment there would be wasted.

After the greetings, Parmeston went straight to the topic and said: "Mr. Metternich, for the sake of world peace, we need the Austrian government to carefully deal with the conflict with the Kingdom of Sardinia."

Metternich laughed and said, "Mr. Parmeston, the conflict between us and the Kingdom of Sardinia will soon disappear. The Italian region will stabilize soon, and your country will not have to worry at all."
