The bright sunshine reflects the blue sea, with a unique flavor.

On the sunny days, there is also an extra money that is about to be obtained, and Colonel Richard is in a particularly comfortable mood.

With years of experience, he discovered that there was something wrong with the ship ahead early and tried to chase it, and the truth was revealed.

Ordinary merchant ships will also stay away when they meet the Royal Navy on the high seas, but no matter how far they stay, they will not sell goods into the sea in order to escape.

Although the Royal Navy has a history of visiting pirates, it is all a past tense and has been much restrained in recent years.

Even if you want to rob, you will be disguised. When you hang the naval flag, you will only extort a protection fee at most.

If you have a relationship background, you can also get discounts on Panpan’s relationship. As long as the money is in place, it doesn’t matter even if it is smuggled.

The performance of the Ford was undoubtedly telling them that there was no silver here. Such a fool is rare, so Colonel Richard would not let it go.

The officer in charge of the flag-speaking said excitedly: "Col. We meet Vittorio Emanuele III, right on the warship in front, and he has already identified his identity."

In order to capture Vittorio Emanuele III, the London government was ruthless, and the Royal Navy almost came out in full swing.

It cannot be said that the arrest is, after all, a king, John Bull should also pay attention to international influence, so the task of the Royal Navy is to invite people back.

After hearing this good news, Colonel Richard looked happy. You should know that in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, a country has offered a heavy reward.

As long as Vittorio Emmanuele III can be invited back, there will be not only a generous bonus, but also a higher level.

Richard is already a colonel, and he will have to cross the general's threshold. It seems that there is only a line of separation, but in fact this is the difference between heaven and earth.

There are a lot of colonel officers in the Royal Navy, and one of them can truly cross the threshold of a general. There is no way. Now is a peaceful era, so it is naturally difficult to promote without military merit.

"What are you waiting for? Let them stop the ship immediately, and ask Vittorio Emanuele III to come."

Colonel Richard bit the word "please" very hard. No matter how down and out, the king is, he is also the king, and he must be given enough respect.

There is no way, the relationship between European royal families is very chaotic, and relatives are everywhere when going out, and the connections of any royal family cannot be underestimated.

The young officer's face suddenly became ugly and he replied with a headache: "We have sent an invitation, but Vittorio Emmanuele III refused.

And warn us not to follow, otherwise we will be responsible if any accidents occur in the middle."

After all, he reacted. The young officer decisively chose to avoid the important things and did not directly say the threats of Vittorio Emmanuele III.

Colonel Richard was stunned. He never expected that Vittorio Emmanuele III was so uncooperative.

It is impossible to fire a gun. If you are unlucky, you will send Vittorio Emmanuele III to see God, no one will bear this crime.

Glazed at the young officer, Colonel Richard scolded: "He refuses, you won't persuade him!"

That's right, it's just persuasion. No matter how badly it is, for most ordinary people, Vittorio Emmanuele III is a big shot.

Seeing the young officer with a confused look on his face, Richard continued to add: "Idiot, we can't move Vittorio Emmanuele III. Can't you find a way to coerce and lure the others on the ship?

Pass the order to speed up and put pressure on them..."

...

Facts have proved that the flag language is still not perfect enough, at least when expressing the threatening meaning, the deterrence is not strong enough.

After confirming that the British did not dare to fire, everyone on the Ford quickly recovered, of course they were still a little excited.

As soon as Vittorio Emmanuele III opened his mouth, everyone was aristocrat, provided that King Sardinia could successfully restore the country.

Those who are seeking life at sea know that wealth and honor must be pursued in danger. Captain Petra also appropriately exaggerated the success rate and told everyone that because the French army is at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

In order to save the French's failure, the despicable and shameless British government seized Vittorio Emmanuele III.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is the despicable and shameless British government. Although everyone is British, there are differences between British and British.

Although it was a temporary ship, the Austrian Embassy could not not investigate. The Ford was selected because the crew was all Irish.

If the crew were all the strongest Englishmen to Britain, it would be another situation now.

The distance between the two sides was constantly getting closer, and the atmosphere on the Forda began to become tense. Vittorio Emanuele III had to take action to comfort people's hearts.

Suddenly, several small black dots appeared in the horizon, and the crew of the observation deck reported: "The fleet was found ahead and was heading towards us."

Vittorio Emanuele III breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "That is the ship that came to pick us up, and lean over immediately."

After saying that, he pretended to be calm and entered the cabin.

The middle-aged man who accompanied him couldn't help but reminded: "Your Majesty, we chose the route we left this time. Even the Austrians didn't know the specific route, so there was no arrangement for ships to pick them up!"

After being in exile for so many years, Italian independent organizations have been beaten by society and now they don’t trust anyone.

Even though he is an ally with Austria, Vittorio Emanuele III did not accept the escape route arranged by the Austrian Embassy, ​​but temporarily changed the route and boarded the Forda.

Vittorio Emanuele III said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether or not there is a response, as long as someone knows that I'm on the Forda.

Now it is less than a hundred nautical miles away from the Netherlands, and there are only two British warships chasing behind them. They are not able to silence everyone in a fleet together.

Once they approach, they will tell them that there is a noble king on the Ford. The British officer chasing behind them will let us go if they are not stupid."

Theoretically, the Royal Navy dared not kill the regicide. But everything is unexpected. In this vast sea, it is not a big deal to disappear a ship.

The incident of Vittorio Emanuele III's board of Forda was a completely temporary decision, and only a limited number of people knew about it.

Moreover, these insiders are all in London. Once the British make a ruthless move and kill someone to silence him, who can prove that the British did it?

There may be clues left, but the problem is that someone needs to check it down, and he cannot be an ordinary person.

The people on the Ford are all temporary recruits, and their loyalty cannot stand the test at all. As mentioned earlier, the British did not dare to take action, because that was to boost morale.

...

On October 9, 1890, under the escort of the Royal Navy, Vittorio Emanuele III arrived in the Netherlands.

Colonel Richard was still very politically intelligent. He made decisive changes at the critical moment, defining this trip as escorting Vittorio Emmanuele III.

As for the unpleasantness that happened in the middle, it was all a small problem. Not to mention that Vittorio Emmanuele III had not yet successfully restored the reign, even if he really became King Sardinian, he could not afford to offend the British.

He is not as strong as a human being. He has to eat anything he doesn't want to eat. He even has to show his happy eating and prove to the outside world that Yingsa is friendly.

On the Western Front, after half a month of fighting, the Anti-French Alliance was at an absolute disadvantage.

Even in the local battle, Belgium still cannot counterattack in the face of absolute strength gap.

Austrian reinforcements were still on the way, the German Federation was slow to move, the front line of Luxembourg, Belgium was already crumbling, and even the Rhineland defense line had problems.

The form on the battlefield is becoming increasingly severe, and Leopold II has no longer had the same spirit as before.

"The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. When will reinforcements from Germany and Austria arrive?"

To be frank, the Belgian army's performance this time was still qualified. It was able to resist the French attack on the battlefield for half a month with a disadvantaged force, and it has already taken action.

Foreign Minister Jur replied: "The main force of the Austrian army arrived in Baden yesterday afternoon, and the vanguard had arrived in the Rhineland region and was expected to enter our country in five days.

The German Federation's mobilization speed is slower. At present, only the western states have completed military mobilization, while the eastern states are still in progress.

However, the troops mobilized by the western states did not arrive at the front line as soon as possible. We communicated with the German federal government, and they had no choice but to deal with these states."

Inconsistent command is a chronic disease of the German Federation. If there were no such internal problems, they would have joined the club of the great powers long ago.

Leopold II asked in confusion: "A few days ago, didn't George I say he wanted to go to the front line to supervise the war? Why is there no movement?"

War is a risk and an opportunity. George I will naturally not give up easily when he ascended the throne of emperor.

In fact, George I's unstable throne was not only eyeing Austria, but more importantly, his personal monarchal prestige was too low.

This is a historical issue. The German Federation is a product of a special period and an empire imposed on the German people by European countries such as Britain, France, Russia and other European countries.

The empire created by force will naturally not satisfy everyone, especially for nationalists, this empire is a shame.

In this context, the small states below will naturally not buy the accounts of the central government.

In order to weaken the authority of the central government and protect its own power, some people even deliberately promoted the Hannover theory of treason.

The newspapers publicly proclaimed that the Gotha dynasty crown was a reward for their hindering of German regional unification.

There is no way. Hannover has limited strength and is unable to suppress these small states. In addition, the people do not support the central government, so the German Federation has been in a weak position since its establishment.

In order to change this passive situation, the two generations of German federal emperors made a lot of efforts, such as: striving to develop the economy, opening up colonies, and merging the Kingdom of Prussia.

The results are significant, but the effects can be said to be average. After all, these things cannot satisfy the appetite of nationalists.

In a sense, this anti-French war was already George I's last chance. As long as he established enough prestige in the war, he would have a strife after the war.

"Your Majesty, the internal problems of the German Federation are too troublesome. If George I want to gain prestige in the war, the support of the Kingdom of Prussia is indispensable.

The problem is that after two lessons from the Prussian Wars, the Prussian government has gradually become more conservative and unwilling to continue taking risks.

Due to political changes, the Prussian government is no longer ready to fulfill its contracts.

George I was working to convince the Prussian government, and judging from the current situation, there is a high chance of failure.

The main reason is that the Austrians will not give him this opportunity. Once the Vienna government intervenes, all the efforts made by George I will be wasted."

Foreign Minister Jur explained that Leopold II was in tears. Whether the German region was unified had nothing to do with Belgium.

Whether it is the integrated German Federation or the unified Shenluo Empire, for Belgium, it is the difference between an elephant and a baby elephant.

Elephants can’t afford to offend, and small elephants can’t afford to offend either. Anyway, they are always doing things with their tails in their hands, and the final result is the same.

After pondering for a while, Leopold II said fiercely: "I urge the Vienna government to tell them that if there are no reinforcements, we will surrender... it's over."

Fortunately, Leopold II reacted in time, otherwise he would have made a joke of "surrender" and threatening his allies.
