"Idiot! Don't you know how to deal with mice?"

Looking at his subordinate who was still confused, Marshal Adrien explained helplessly: "If you catch a mouse, use a cat. Can't you even think of such a simple question?

If the enemy does not emerge, they will find a way to lead them out. Find a few local snakes and ask them to find an independent organization.

I can use all the coercion and temptation. Not everyone is a tough guy. Just catch one and you can bring out a nest.”

Coercion and inducement are not new methods. France has used it since the beginning of its annexation of Italy, and the effect is quite good.

However, as time goes by, the situation gradually changes. The domesticated cat lives too comfortably, and the ability to catch mice has deteriorated.

The middle-aged officer said: "But Marshal, we have no right to interfere in local affairs. Ridiculous intervention may cause dissatisfaction among the local government."

If a country wants to be stable, the separation of military and political affairs is an indispensable part. There is no doubt that France is a country with separation of military and political affairs.

The military can arrest members of the Italian independent organization that disrupts logistics transportation, but winning over powerful factions in the local area is a political taboo.

After hesitating for a while, Adrien nodded. Adrien is not a political novices who can get to his current position.

Many inconspicuous unspoken rules in the officialdom are unforeseen, and even if he is the supreme French marshal, it is also impossible to be an exception.

"Explain the situation to the cabinet, let them find ways to coordinate local governments and cooperate with us to eliminate the Italian rioters who collude with Austria."

Adrien knew the nature of the French bureaucrats' shit and urine. Those who could hold high positions were all those who practice "It is better to have less than more things."

If the central government does not intervene and the military directly negotiates with the local government, the final result will definitely be incomplete.

No matter how important the overall situation is, it is not as important as the hat on everyone's head. As long as no big thing happens, local governments will never admit that their jurisdiction is in chaos.

...

London

The outbreak of the European War should be great news for the Italian revolutionary organization, but Vittorio Emanuele III is not happy now.

Since the outbreak of the war, the British have significantly increased the police force arranged by the surrounding areas, and even people have tracked and protected them 24 hours a day when traveling.

There is no doubt that as a favorable pawn for Britain to intervene in Italy, Vittorio Emanuele III was under house arrest.

Although personal freedom is not restricted, it is limited to activities in the British Isles, so it is impossible to go abroad.

There is no free lunch in the world. The British took in Italian independent organizations and paid and worked hard, so they naturally wanted them to play their role.

In this regard, Vittorio Emanuele III was still open-minded. It was nothing more than a matter of interests. As long as he could support his restoration, the rest of the matter would be easy to discuss.

"Feen, how are you communicating with the British? Are they willing to support us in restoring our country now?"

The British foreign policy was fickle, and support for Italian independent organizations also changed frequently.

Whenever the relationship between Britain and France is the worst, independent organizations can receive large amounts of funding. Anyway, independent organizations are the hardest times.

Logically speaking, Britain and France are allies now, and the life of an independent Italian organization should be very sad.

However, there are exceptions. The London government is still counting on both France and Austria to lose both sides. Until the situation is clear, the British will not let Vittorio Emmanuele III leave.

After all, his political value is high. If the French win the war, the Italian independent organization is a powerful tool to check and balance the French.

If Austria wins the war, they can also support the Italian independent organization to unify the Italian region and cause trouble for Austria.

No matter what happens in the future, the British cannot let Vittorio Emmanuele III out of control.

"Your Majesty, the British rejected our proposal on the grounds of uncertainty."

From Feien's desperate expression, it can be seen that the situation is even more serious than he said.

The Italian Independent Organization has now received support from Austria, and if the British simply do not support it, it would not have made Feien feel desperate.

After sighing, Vittorio Emmanuele III said helplessly: "I should have thought of it long ago. There have been so many guards outside recently, and it is obvious that they are watching us.

It seems that Britain is going to support the French this time, and we are worried that we will join forces with the Austrians now and let the French lose the war."

Vittorio Emanuele III now regrets it, not only regrets it. Before this, the Austrian minister invited him to Milan many times to command the Italian independence movement at close range.

In order not to become a puppet of the Austrians, Vittorio Emanuele III decided to refuse.

However, I could not escape the first day of the lunar month, but I could not escape the fifteenth day. I escaped the risk of becoming a puppet of Austrians, but I welcomed the darker British.

When the Austrian puppet was only temporary, after the war ended, Vittorio Emanuele III had the chance to restore the country, which could barely be regarded as a transaction.

It would be different if you stay in London and sit down and watch the situation develop. Not only would you not be able to lead the independence movement in the Italian region, but you would even have the opportunity to restore your country.

Even if the French were defeated and the Italian region regained independence, it had no connection with Vittorio Emanuele III.

The Vienna government could not be so kind-hearted that it gave up the victory that it had been fought for. It was not only Vittorio Emanuele III who was qualified to inherit the throne in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Prime Minister Leonid decisively said: "Anyway, we must leave London as soon as possible and go back to host the independence movement.

The more the British wanted us to return to China, the more it showed that the French were at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and they were worried that we would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now is the closest time to our resumption of our country. If we missed this opportunity, it will be difficult to restore our country in the future.”

The European balance policy is a British trick and has nothing to do with everyone. Even if you have to consider it, it is a problem after the successful restoration of the country.

As long as the country can be restored, Prime Minister Leonid doesn't care who will be the boss. Anyway, no matter who is Britain, France, Russia and Austria becomes the overlord, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Sardinia to become the overlord.

Vittorio Emmanuele III nodded: "The Prime Minister is right, we must find a way to leave, and we must not miss this opportunity.

But the British stared at us so hard that we could not leave the British Isles at all, even if we smuggle it."

In order to restore the country, everyone present was social activist and often went to and from various banquets.

The British police on duty outside could probably call out each of them clearly, and it was unrealistic to leave.

As if he had thought of something, Foreign Minister Fei En showed a smile on his face and then quickly disappeared.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "Everyone left together, it is definitely impossible to hide it from the British.

If you just send one or two people away, there is still hope, but you only take some risks.

If the British see through it, they may even... "

Before Fion finished speaking, Vittorio Emanuele III interrupted: "Everything requires risks to do, and the restoration movement we are carrying out is the most risky.

Talk about your plan, Feien. As long as I can revive Italy, I am willing to take any risks.”

It is not that Vittorio Emanuele III had a fearless spirit, but that under the political system of Europe, there is almost no need to worry about security as kings, and their personal safety is jointly protected by all countries.

Except for the second-year revolutionary party, no normal person would kill the king. Even if Vittorio Emmanuele III did something that made the British dislike, the London government would not have been able to knock him down.

Even if it fell into the hands of the French, Vittorio Emanuele III was confident of ensuring his personal safety and even receiving courtesy.

Anyway, there is no life danger, Vittorio Emanuele III naturally doesn't mind showing more heroic performance in front of supporters.

Feien nodded: "My plan is to let Your Majesty pretend to be sick first and reduce contact with the outside world.

In the short term, the British will definitely send someone to check it out, but they cannot stay there 24 hours a day, and this kind of vigilance cannot last.

After a while, the British relaxed their vigilance, and the frequency of checking decreased, and the opportunity came.

Your Majesty’s personal doctor is ours. Arrange a person who is similar to Your Majesty’s figure to enter the manor as Dr. Jack’s assistant and replace his identity with Your Majesty.

There are many people who have seen His Majesty, but those who have had close contact with His Majesty are all big shots. They just glanced at him from a distance and should not be very familiar with His Majesty's facial expressions.

We left with Dr. Jack at night. With the cover of the night, we put on some makeup for His Majesty. The chance of hiding from the guards is very high.

It is rest time tonight. Even if someone comes to visit, we can make excuses about His Majesty’s discomfort.

We can contact the Austrians first and arrange the ship to pick up the ship in advance. After leaving the manor, His Majesty left London overnight by boat.

Even if the British discovered the next day, the ship left the port. For a while, the British could not determine the direction of the ship, and even if they wanted to send a navy to intercept it, they didn't know how to chase it.

To be on the safe side, we can also let the Austrians arrange several more boats and sail in different directions at the same time to distract the British from their sight.”

The typical Li Dai Tao Zombie does not have much technical content, but it is the best choice for Vittorio Emmanuele III to get rid of the cage at the moment.

As for whether the British would be angry afterwards, it doesn't matter. No matter how angry the British government is, it will never be possible to wipe the people who stay.

There are not only one or two governments in exile in Britain these days. If they do it too much, other governments in exile will be sad.

Without these organizations waving flags and shouting, the British would be in a passive situation internationally and would not be so easy to do things.

In essence, Britain took in these governments, in addition to getting an opportunity to interfere in other people's internal affairs, it was more about secretly conducting political transactions.

Simply put, if you are pro-English and everyone plays well, nothing will happen; if one day you oppose the British, then they support the restoration of the exile government to deal with you.

Perhaps it is not enough to succeed, but it is definitely more than enough to have bad things. Especially for small countries, because they cannot withstand this kind of tossing, they have to make concessions to the British in politics and diplomacy.

Vittorio Emanuele III said fiercely: "I decided to bet! For the sake of the great Italy, the next thing will be done to get rid of everyone."

The risk is within a controllable range, and even if it fails, the situation will not be worse than it is now, so there is naturally no reason for everyone to object.

...

In the crisis, independent organizations were still very efficient, and Vittorio Emmanuele III fell ill that day.

In order to disgust the British, the independent organization secretly released news that Vittorio Emanuele III was infected by the popularity of the British.

Medical technology is underdeveloped these days, and getting sick is very fatal, and even a small problem can make people die.

It is even more amazing that the king is sick. Even though Vittorio Emanuele III was an exiled king, he was still valued by the British government because of the Continental War.

Famous doctors in London went one after another and went to Vittorio Emmanuele III's manor, but they did not find the cause.

Even in the newspaper, there was news that Vittorio Emmanuele III had paid a lot of money to seek medical treatment, as if his life was coming soon.

In the official residence of the Prime Minister on Downing Street, Prime Minister Gladstone, who had just finished a day, accidentally browsed a newspaper on the table, which happened to publish news about Vittorio Emanuele III's serious illness.

Soon Prime Minister Gladston's brow frowned. At this time, the Italian Independence Organization has become a bargaining chip for Britain to interfere in the European War, and Vittorio Emanuele III is the core of this bargaining chip.

Although this chip is not very large, there are not many chips for Britain to choose from, and the importance of Italian independent organization is highlighted.

If Vittorio Emmanuele III died and the already fragmented Italian independent organization would be completely ruined.

For Britain, this is undoubtedly a very bad result. According to the plan, Prime Minister Gladstone also wanted to wait until France and Austria both suffered losses and rewrite the political situation in Europe.

The ideal result is naturally to split the two countries of France and Austria at the same time. Separate South Germany from Austria, merge with North Germany, and establish a small German empire.

Let the Italian region break free from the French rule and independence, and with Lombardy, Venice formed an Italian kingdom.
