Seeing the increasing number of casualties, Franz also felt a headache. As Carlo Ferrangeri had expected, Austria also needed face.

If the fight with the French can be exposed, then the loss of Waner-8,000 is nothing. The problem is that Austria is not ready to fight the French at all.

Once the window paper is pierced, a full-scale war is destined to break out. If local wars do not exist, neither side will admit defeat. Once the battle starts, it will rise to the point of life and death.

The arrogant Frenchman would not admit defeat, and Napoleon III could only fight to the end; Austria had population advantage and had the upper hand in war potential, so it was even more impossible for Franz to admit defeat.

This means that it is useless to decide the outcome of local wars. No one is willing to give in, and the war will continue.

Either they can fight for three or five years, and whoever can't hold on first will admit defeat, or both sides will end up in the defeat; or they will directly fight to separate life and death.

This cannot be ended in the short term. In this era without planes, tanks, and cars, marching on two legs is not possible, and blitzkrieg does not exist.

What you are fighting for is comprehensive national strength. When you open the map, you will know that the geographical location of France and Austria has been decided, and whoever launches an attack will suffer.

At most, the Italian region conquered most of the Kingdom of Sardinia. This place was not the core of the French. There was a group of Italians who could not be tamed. Occupying this place had no effect.

Instead, it increased the logistics supply pressure. Franz did not think that the Austrian army was able to cross the Alps and fight all the way to Paris.

The greater possibility is that the logistics is restricted and then the French are driven back. After all, the French can transport them by sea and fight a war of attrition with the Austrian army here.

Central Europe is separated from Switzerland by the German Federal Empire. Just think about it. What is the difference between this and invasion?

Unless the French are tempted to send troops on their own initiative, Austria will not be able to attack actively. Franz doesn't want to feel the feeling of being rejected, it is definitely not a wonderful experience.

If all these are tolerated, what Franz couldn't accept the most was the cost of war, and if he won France, he would have to pay a war reparation at most.

Austria cannot reach the land! Besides, Franz, the French land is really not interested.

The only bordering Kingdom of Sardinia is not afraid to ask for it, otherwise the number of Italians in the country will increase, which will be detrimental to national integration and increase the possibility of explosion.

Colonies? After the battle between France and the Austrians starts, it is an unknown number of how much the Austrian navy can be left in the end. God will need God's blessing to protect the existing territory. Where can we still have the ability to expand?

Even if it is a war reparation, it is an unknown whether it can be obtained. If John Niu interferes, it may be in vain.

Don't expect the Russian-Austrian alliance, that thing is unreliable. Austria can paddle in the Prussian-Russian War, and the Russians can naturally paddle in the French-Russian War. Moreover, the Russians are still fighting with Prussia and can't help at all.

If the window paper is not pierced, the number of casualties will embarrass the Austrian military. If you continue, the number of casualties exceeds that of the Olympic War is inevitable.

At present, the smell of gunpowder on the Italian Peninsula is getting stronger and stronger. France and Austria are constantly increasing their troops, and only one Mars will detonate.

Napoleon III and Franz felt similar, or even more uncomfortable. When fighting in Italy, Austria would be in vain, and the French Balkans would be out of order.

The French navy is very powerful, and the Austrian navy is not weak either. At least in the Adriatic French navy cannot suppress Austria. The French army on the Balkans became lonely at the beginning.

If the war can be won, it is acceptable to lose the French Balkans. The problem is that due to geographical location, the most suitable point of engagement is the Italian region.

Napoleon III dared not touch it in Central Europe, otherwise the enemy would not be an Austrian, but an anti-French alliance.

The distance from Italy to Vienna was enough to collapse the French army n times. Austria's railway was indeed well built, but everyone's tracks were different and they could not connect, so the railway could not be counted on.

This is still an ideal state. Under normal circumstances, the French army would probably stop in the Lombardy area, and there were complete fortifications in the area, which were not so easy to break.

During the Osa War, the Kingdom of Sardinia broke through internal sneak attacks, but there were not so many internal supporters now.

In the context of species, even if the French army occupied the two Sicily kingdoms, in fact, the two sides could only be considered a draw.

If you want to win the war, Franz personally leads his troops to command blindly, like the original time and space.

Today is different from the past. If Franz and Napoleon III led the PK together, no one knew the result. After all, neither of them was a master of military use.

In the original Austrian-French War in the original time and space, Napoleon III did not have time to play, so the French army won. If he had all his might, the outcome would still be unknown.

There have been examples of the Near East War, Civil War, and Prussian-Prussian War. The Paris government has also been much more cautious and has no arrogance as the world's number one.

Unlike when he was conquering the country, Napoleon III, who had a great family and a great career, was no longer the gambler. His throne was not so orthodox, and the French people could not tolerate failure, and any failure would shake his ruling foundation.

This intervention in the two Sicilian kingdoms was just a test of Austria. It was really not worth it to take the risk of war for one test.

Both sides did not want to start a war, but the situation in the two Sicily kingdoms made the two countries unable to stand down. Everyone wanted face. Whoever made concessions first meant giving in.

Although there is no substantial loss in this kind of admitting defeat, it is necessary to bet on this tone. Under this background, Prime Minister Carlo Ferangeri took action.

Foreign Minister Urdinov looked at the evidence in his hand and questioned: "Prime Minister, it is too difficult to convince just these documents. I am afraid that the ministers of France and Austria will not believe it."

His heart was broken. Even if he framed him, he had to be more professional! He just took a bunch of documents as evidence, and any printing shop on the street could be wholesale, without any persuasion at all.

Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangery smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you don't need to believe it. After seeing these things, do you think of something?"

Urdinov nodded, and he heard the implication of Prime Minister Carlo Ferangeri. If Americans provoke conflicts between France and the Apollo, few people would believe it.

The federal government has neither the strength nor the courage, and more importantly, it does not have enough interests to let them do so.

It would be almost the same if it were the British. John Bull had already sowed the records of the relationship between the two countries and was discovered by both countries. As a habitual criminal, he is naturally the key target of suspicion.

There is an explanation for this excuse both internally and externally. It is useless for the London government to deny it, and Paris and Vienna will directly believe it.

The relationship between France and Austria has not taken a step further. The main reason is that the British interfere, otherwise the two countries might have formed an alliance a few years ago.

The plan proposed by Franz to jointly divide Europe was actually the source of Napoleon III's ambitions. After annexing the Kingdom of Sardinia, it was even more out of control.

During the Fa'an Secret Treaty, there was a plan to squeeze the British out of the Mediterranean, and it has been implemented now.

Whether it is Greece, the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and North Africa, the expansion of the British has not been smooth in recent years.

The London government was naturally unhappy when it was tripped by two local snakes. However, these were all small actions in secret, and everyone was still friendly in neighborhood on the surface.

The unhappy John Niu naturally took revenge measures, and provoking relations between the two countries was one of the links. Many British methods were open to conspiracies, and even if they were exposed, they still affected the relationship between France and Austria.

Otherwise, France and Austria are still happily dividing the European continent, how could it be this point?

Soon, the evidence prepared by the two Sicily kingdoms was passed on to Paris and Vienna, but the protagonist was replaced by the British.

Prime Minister Carlo Ferrangery did not dare to provoke the British, so France and Austria were different. Both sides tacitly held the shit on the British.

This is not unfair. London newspapers have revealed the truth about the civil war between the two Sicily kingdoms and used a lot of pen to describe the secret attacks between France and Austria.

Due to the lack of sufficient film and television materials and the verbal statements are unfounded, these news were naturally denied by the Paris government and the Vienna government.

However, under the promotion of the British, the news began to spread quickly on the European continent, allowing the melon-eating crowd to watch the fun.

There are many people who want to fight between the two countries, such as Prat and Russia, which are going on war. They want to see someone accompanying them to be unlucky.

Only when the war broke out between France and Austria was watching the fun, everyone's strength would be brought to the same level again. Whether they were willing to admit it or not, both Pratt and Russia were left behind.

Alexander II had the most say. He witnessed the decline of the Russian Empire from prosperity and decline. Now he is just a nominal European hegemon, and his actual strength has lagged behind France and Austria.

This is not just a matter of money, but a comprehensive national strength lags behind. If an agricultural country does not win the industrial country, the gap in the times cannot be made up by the number of people.

Vienna

Foreign Minister Wesenberg proposed: "Your Majesty, this conflict between France and the Austrians must stop. If you continue, you will benefit the British fisherman.

Now is not the time for the decisive battle between France and Austria, and we need time to prepare."

War is not a joke, especially a war between two great powers. The world war in original time and space is an example. Both sides made sufficient preparations before the fight started.

Now Austria is not prepared for anything, so what can we use to fight to the final battle?

Chancellor Carl opposes: "This time the matter was initiated by the French. Let's just forget it. Where can we put our face?"

This is also one of the problems. Someone must be responsible for this conflict, and it must not be Austria. The Vienna government must regain its face.

Prime Minister Felix said fiercely: "Whoever provokes this dispute will be responsible for this incident. Since Francesco II has brought the wolf into the house, he is not qualified to continue to serve as the king of the two Sicily kingdoms.

Francesco II has many brothers, so we can completely replace a pro-O King, whose younger brother Count Trani is a good choice."

Francesco II's actions seemed to constitute betrayal in Vienna's view, and the traitor naturally had to pay the price. It's just that he was the king, and Vienna could not have taken his life, but it was still possible to abolish the throne.

This is Francesco II who committed suicide by himself. He had made the country a mess, but it was very unpopular. He even foolishly asked Napoleon III for help, which made many people in the Bourbon family very dissatisfied with him.

Against this backdrop, the Vienna government demanded that Francesco II abdicate, and he had no few supporters at all.

As for the French? Let’s forget it. Napoleon III was not a charity. The price to pay to keep Francesco II was too high, but the benefits were far from being paid.

The full name of Count Trani: Luigi Maria, Francesco II's half-brother, was born on August 1, 1838 and is less than 18 years old.

This is not the point. What is important is that Luigi Maria is the son of Austrian grandfather Maria Theresia Isabella, his grandfather, Grand Duke Carl, the god of the Austrian war, and has the blood of the Habsburg family.

Francesco II was able to inherit the throne because of his strong supporters, but because of the law of inheritance in Europe.

As a great nobleman, both the Bourbons and the Habsburgs are the defenders of the rules and follow them completely.

Therefore, Francesco II can grow up safely and inherit the throne, and there is no so-called bloody plot in the middle.

Everything is treated according to the crown prince's standards, and the stepmother abuses it, and it does not exist at all. The female grandfather of Isabella is a well-educated person and will not do these unsavory things.

Because he lost his mother since childhood, everyone felt very sorry for Francesco II. He has always been a family member since childhood. Compared to his younger brothers who were strictly required since childhood, he grew up in Happy Education.

It is not a good thing for a king to have never suffered setbacks since childhood, and it is also one of the reasons why Francesco II did stupid things.

The world will not revolve around one thing, now Francesco II is in a tragedy. The conflict between France and Austria needs an explanation, and Austria's face needs to be maintained.

As the culprit, Francesco II was to blame, and abdication was the only choice.

This is not about Franz's affairs. Earl Trani has no friendship with him. Grand Duke Carl has no son, and his legacy cannot fall into his grandson. It's just that the current situation is right, and the Vienna government is just following the flow.

Franz sneered and said, "Then Francesco II abdicate, but we cannot let the French go like this. Since we dare to stretch out our hands, we must pay the price.

Our strategy for the French can be implemented, and Napoleon III is still too idle and must keep them busy."
