London

Prime Minister John Russell was very happy to receive the news that the Kingdom of Sardinia was about to join the war. No one would dislike this kind of wink-like little brother.

After the outbreak of the Near East War, many people were unhappy because of their support for the Ottomans and stood opposite to European public opinion. Even in the UK, many people and media caught the government and scolded them.

Reality once again proves the importance of a good reputation. The reputation of the Ottoman Empire is too bad. Even if Britain and France join forces, they cannot help whitewash them.

Public opinion is just a small problem. It is not the first time that the British have stood opposite to international public opinion. These verbal parties are just cursing and cannot hurt them. John Russell doesn't care.

But recently, not only the Duchy of Montenegro joined the Russians, but even their younger brother Greece has made small moves, as if telling how unpopular they were with Ottoman.

In order to cope with the pressure from the opposition party, John Russell urgently needs to show results to prove the correctness of this action.

John Russell no longer expects a breakthrough in military affairs. The probability is too small. Just with the 20,000 British troops on the front line, what results can be achieved in a war with over one million people participating in the war is really doubtful.

If it is not good in military terms, then diplomacy is better. This is their strength, isn’t it just to attract teammates? The British Empire has rich experience.

Napoleon was so fierce back then that he was killed by the anti-French alliance they formed. Although the Russians now have great threats, the situation is not as serious as the anti-French war.

Unfortunately, all European countries have learned their skills and let them coerce and tempt them, and everyone is still unmoved, and all countries have expressed neutrality.

This gave Prime Minister John Russell a headache. He was no longer looking forward to his strong allies supporting him. There were only a few European powers, and no one would win grain from the fire for them.

John Russell lowered the standard. As long as there are a few flag-shaking and shouting, they can give an explanation to the people in the country.

"What are the conditions for the Sardinians?" John Russell asked happily

He had already made up his mind that only the conditions of the Kingdom of Sardinia were not too excessive, so he agreed. To establish world hegemony, it is necessary to acquire younger brothers, and it is also important to buy bones with a wealth of money.

There are many younger brothers, such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. Unfortunately, these younger brothers are not as good as the Tao. They see that there is no benefit to get them. They are all turtles and are unwilling to offend the Russians.

The statement of the Kingdom of Sardinia is particularly important. After all, it was the first to defect to it. Although its military role was almost zero, it was also very important to have another country in politics to sway the flag and shout.

Originally, the Greeks were also qualified to play this role, but unfortunately they had too great conflicts with the Ottoman Empire and there was no possibility of easing between the two sides.

"The Sardinians did not demand too much. They asked the Allies to purchase a batch of Sardinian goods and deferred the payment of loans before the end of the war." Parmeston replied lightly.

There is no doubt that the failure of the Osa War still hit their confidence and had a clear understanding of their own strength. At this time, they did not dare to speak loudly.

John Russell continued, asking, “How many troops can the Kingdom of Sardinia send?”

Parmeston said disdainfully: "Two infantry regiments can only be considered better than nothing. Prime Minister Cafur said that if we can provide weapons and equipment and bear war funds, they can send 20,000 troops."

John Russell smiled and said, "You can promise them, but we need to get command."

Our army has not arrived at the battlefield for a long time, which has already made our allies very dissatisfied. Let’s take the troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia to make up the numbers.”

He had already guessed the plan of the Kingdom of Sardinia, but he wanted to gain support from Britain and France and then unify the Italian region.

John Russell was a little confused about the faith of the Sardinians, and he did not think that the Italian region could be unified. After the Osa War, the economy of the Kingdom of Sardinia directly retreated for twenty years and has not recovered now.

The normal situation is that we should cultivate and maintain peace, ease relations with Austria, and change diplomatic dilemma.

After all, during this period, Austria had a great influence in Italian states and formed the Holy Roman Economic Alliance to squeeze them out of the Italian region.

If you want to unify the Italian region, Austria is an unavoidable hurdle. If you cannot defeat Austria, all their efforts will be useless.

It is true that the London government supports the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify the Italian region, but this support is only verbal, and at most it is impossible to support a loan in person.

The French wanted to drive Austria out of the Italian region, but the French also opposed the unification of the Italian region. If there had not been any changes, France and Austria would have divided the Kingdom of Sardinia three years ago.

It doesn't matter if I can't figure it out. Since the Sardinians are willing to be cannon fodder, how could he refuse?

Vienna

Franz wrote a diary, which was a habit after traveling through time. There were a lot of messy memories in his previous life, and in order to worry about forgetting, Franz recorded it all.

To keep it confidential, these contents appear in novels. The world background has also been replaced by the magic world. The messy content is mixed together, and no one can understand it except him.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Metternier asks for a visit!" The familiar voice of the maid Jenny sounded.

"Please come in!" Franz said lightly

"Yes, your Majesty!"

...

Metternich said: "Your Majesty, the Sardinian government is testing our attitude, and they are preparing to declare war on the Russians."

To be honest, when I heard this news for the first time, Metternich didn't believe it at all. The Kingdom of Sardinia was full and ran to war with the Russians. You must know that they are in high debt now.

After several confirmations, Metternich accepted the news.

Panic is not as good as the military strength of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Austria has the most say. Such a scum is not worthy of attention.

However, the political significance behind it has to be considered. If Britain and France promised any benefits to the Kingdom of Sardinia, which was the reason for their dispatch of troops, then we should pay attention.

After thinking about it, Franz replied: "Since the Kingdom of Sardinia wants to join the war, let us become a beauty! I would like to hint to the Sardinian government that Austria has no objection to this."

Will the participation of the Kingdom of Sardinia affect this Russian-Turkish war? It must have an impact, but this influence only remains political; in military terms, they just need not cause trouble for the coalition forces.

At this time, Franz suddenly realized that it seemed that the Russians had a good chance of winning. Don’t look at the strength of the coalition forces, but three of these four countries were all tricks of teammates. Can the French be driven by the French?

The Ottoman Empire doesn’t need to explain how powerful their army is, it just depends on how they are suppressed and beaten by the Russians on the battlefield.

The core of King Sardinia's team was all over, and the rest were a group of remnants who had lost their spirits. Don't expect any combat effectiveness of the army they formed.

The combat effectiveness of the British Army is relatively good. Unfortunately, their number is not high and their command ability is not good. They like to lose track of their chains at critical moments and cheat their teammates.

On the other hand, the Russians don’t have to consider so many. Except for Austria, the other two have no need to expect.

But in the alliance, Austria still plays a role as a nurse. Unless the Russian army on the front line is defeated, there is no chance for the Austrian army to play, which is a logistical decision.

Greece, Montenegro and the Russians were separated from each other, so there was no need to consider the issue of mutual cooperation, and there was no need to worry about being cheated.

In theory, as long as the Russians can seize the opportunity and defeat the French, they will have the possibility of defeating the enemies one by one.
