Chapter 163, God of War
There is no joke in the army. Since General Molkes proposed a plan to attack the three-line line, he naturally needs to implement it.
With the command of the command, half of Italy was caught in the war at the same time, and the Austrian army stationed in the Lombardy region launched a strong attack on multiple fronts.
The roaring sound of artillery fire was clearly visible even in Milan City dozens of miles away, and even the earth could be vaguely felt.
Looking in the direction of Turin, Vittorio Emanuele III sighed meaningfully: "Korosna, have you figured out the true purpose of the Austrians?"
Vittorio Emanuele III is not a flower in a greenhouse, he has a clear understanding of his own value.
King Sardinia was very important to the Vienna government, but this importance was limited to political propaganda, and it would not have caused General Morkus, the commander of the southern line, to put in such a big battle.
The middle-aged man in Kolosna shook his head: "Not yet, our intelligence network in the Lombardy region has long been cut off by the Austrians.
Even if I escaped by luck, I have drawn a clear line with us early, and the hidden lines can no longer be connected.
I tried to visit several nobles who once tended to us and were driven out directly.
Last night, I also received several threatening letters warning us not to make small moves, otherwise they would be polite."
It can be seen that Kolosner is very depressed now. The Kingdom of Sardinia can only rely on Austria to restore the country. In this context, how could he have the courage to make small moves?
After experiencing cruel social beatings, the Italian independent organization is not as good as the Charcoal Party, and has long since played out in Italy.
Even if you shout slogans, it is not enough. The political is incorrect, and the financial father will not give money.
Not to mention now, the Vienna government proposed to restore the situation after the Vienna Conference in 1815, and they could only accept it happily.
It is absolutely a sign of getting tired of doing things in Lombardy. For them, Sardinian restorationists, Austria is their only choice.
But for the Austrian government, they are just one choice, and there are still a lot of spare tires behind them.
Since ancient times, the German region has produced many kings. It is really not possible. The Austrian government can also choose a new king for the Sardinian people.
"Forget it, if you don't know, just wait! Those who inform us should try to go out as little as possible to avoid causing unhappiness from local tyrants."
After saying that, Vittorio Emmanuele III sighed. He was also very helpless when such a thing happened.
Vittorio Emanuele III knew the historical origins of the Osa War. With this thorn, any behavior they had in Lombardy would be magnified.
Perhaps Franz, who is far away in Vienna, can just smile, but the Lombardy royal family that is so close will definitely make them unable to afford it.
There is no way, the Vettelsbach dynasty was an outsider, and he relied on the support of the Vienna government to hold the throne, and his foundation in the local area was not deep.
Especially for two generations of kings, they were mentally ill, and the first king also came to succeed the throne under the guise of the throne, the royal family's reputation among the people can be imagined.
Against this background, the Vettelsbach Dynasty was inevitably overly alert and was particularly sensitive to any movement.
It is impossible for Vittorio Emmanuele III to develop a team here. Even some normal activities will be restricted.
But there is no way, now this is the front line. As an ambitious king, Vittorio Emanuele III must visit the front line in person.
Otherwise, how could the Sardinian people feel his greatness?
What if the Austrian army conquered Turin one day and the king did not arrive immediately and was taken advantage of by someone to board the first place?
There are not only one or two people who are qualified to inherit the throne of Sardinia these days. There are also great nobles in Austria who are eyeing this crown.
Although Vittorio Emanuele III is considered to be the orthodox of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he, as a king, has not yet officially ascended the throne. From a legal perspective, he is just an heir.
If a guy with inheritance rights is shameless and ascends the throne first, it will create a certain fact, and it is an unknown who the Vienna government will support.
Even if there are no such bad things, the most popular thing these days is "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like combs."
Vittorio Emanuele III did not go to the front line in advance to watch, and when things happened, the Kingdom of Sardinia became a piece of white land.
At that time, the Austrian army will pat their butts and leave, and he will be responsible for cleaning up the mess left behind.
It is impossible to test the traditional friendship between Osa. I hope that the Austrian army will see the traditional friendship between the two countries and will not be infringed on the Kingdom of Sardinia?
Whether it is useful or not, Vittorio Emanuele III must stand up and stop it at a critical moment, otherwise why should the Sardinians accept him as a king?
You know, Vittorio Emanuele II did not leave any legacy to him, and only the idiots and arrogant men left behind were the infamous reputations of idiots and arrogant men.
Whether internationally or in the eyes of many Sardinian people, Vittorio Emanuele II is the culprit of Sardinia's demise.
The Osa War was considered the biggest failure of the Sardinian government's decision-making, which not only killed itself, but also affected other countries in the Italian region.
...
The actions of Vittorio Emanuele III and his party were not hidden from the eyes and ears of General Molkes.
It is the war era, and the front line is the largest military. As the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Southern Front Corps, the intelligence department naturally had to provide information to General Molkes.
Putting down the documents in his hand, General Molkus looked out the window: "As long as the Sardinians did not act particularly excessively, let them go.
In the next battle, we also need them to cooperate and make the relationship break free, and everyone’s face is not good."
Since ancient times, true love cannot be kept, but only the routine has lasting forever.
The Sardinians are still valuable now, and General Molkus doesn't mind giving Vittorio Emmanuele III enough face.
It is not 1847 now, and Italian nationalism has long lost its market in the Lombardy region.
In the hearts of the younger generation, Italy is just a regional place name and belongs to the French territory. As for the Lombardy Kingdom, it is naturally a part of the German region.
If you don’t believe it, you can check historical information. The Lombards originated in Germany. According to cultural traditions, Lombardy must belong to the German region. It was a member of the Holy Roman Empire hundreds of years ago.
All this started with France's annexation of Italy and the ending was already destined.
The greatest advantage of human beings is that they can reflect, and the biggest disadvantage is that they can reflect. If you think too much, you will inevitably be deceived by what you see.
After the fall of the Italian region, the knowledgeable people in the Italian region began to reflect. Under the guidance of those who are interested, they quickly found the reasons for the decline of the Italian states - the rigid system and the conservative ideology and culture.
Against this backdrop, a critical movement against traditional cultural traditions broke out in the Italian region.
After the ideological shock ended, the Italian ideological community also split, mainly forming three major systems: the Austrian, British and French, and advocated the establishment of a powerful Italian kingdom by imitating the Three Kingdoms.
Everyone is worried about the country and the people, but they are not very patient. They don’t know how to study, so they just learn together.
This change in thought and cognitive impact on the Italians in Lombardy and Venice.
Intellectuals who were originally inclined to establish the Kingdom of Italy were completely desperate about Italian traditional culture. How could they abandon advanced ideas and return to learn from those who were backward?
Since the ideological revolution broke out in Italy in 1873, the Italians in the Lombardy region have no longer resisted Austria, and the pace of national integration has suddenly increased.
To this day, Lombardy and Austria have no difference in cultural customs. Now the biggest difference between the two places is eating habits.
...
The sound of artillery fire continued, and the strength of the world's largest industrial country was revealed at this time. The shells seemed to be free of money, and rushed towards the French positions like a tide.
A shell fell to the ground and exploded. Shattered pieces splashed with dust. With screams, the French army added three more wounded people.
Colonel Novik, who escaped by chance, patted the dust in his mouth with great experience and immediately cursed: "Damn it! Where are our artillerymen? Why not launch a counterattack?"
This is not the first time that it has happened. In just three days, Colonel Novik's command has been patrolled by shells countless times.
In the command center alone, three people were killed and seven were injured, including three officers.
You should know that this is the regiment command center, which has built simple anti-aircraft fortifications, which greatly weakened the lethality of the shells.
The deputy on the side replied helplessly: "Col. Our artillery is also firing fire to fight back, but it is suppressed by the enemy."
Frankly speaking, the gap in artillery quality between France and Austria is not large, and the French army was suppressed by firepower entirely because the Austrian army is more prepared.
The French army assembled more than 1,300 artillery pieces on the southern front, and the number of Austrian artillery on the opposite side was almost three times that of this number. A large part of them were rapid-fire cannons, and the firepower of both sides was suddenly pulled away.
At the beginning of the artillery battle, the French were stunned. The firepower of both sides was completely out of the same level, and all battlefields were suppressed.
The insufficient number of artillery can not be solved in a short while. Although France's industry is not weak, who can bring a lot of artillery at home without any trouble?
You should know that this war can also be said to be a sudden outbreak, and the war broke out far earlier than the French government's plan.
The ability to deploy more than 1,300 artillery pieces on the southern line in just a few months is enough to prove the strength of France.
After all, China and Europe are the main battlefield, and the French have to focus most of their attention on China and Europe, and artillery must also give priority to meeting the China-Europe battlefield.
Colonel Novik shook his head: "That's a counterattack? If we don't tell it carefully, we won't hear the sound of our cannons.
Generate power to the General Command and request fire support.
immediately!
If this continues, our troops will collapse before the enemy attacks."
No one can stand the battle of being beaten but not fighting back. After several days of bombing, the French soldiers on the front line have long lost their former arrogance.
In fact, Colonel Novik's regiment is quite good, most of the soldiers are from France and have a strong fighting will.
In the bombing, the number of troops was reduced by more than 10%, and the troops did not collapse and were completely elite.
If it were placed in the newly formed troops with a large number of Italian soldiers, it would have been a mutiny at this time.
...
Colonel Novik's roar still failed to change the French army's embarrassment, and Adrien, as the French army, was also worried about this issue.
There is no way, who made France not prepare enough?
From the beginning of the war to the present, the number of French troops has expanded by almost ten times. It is possible to ensure that everyone has a gun, so the Parisian officials have worked hard enough.
After throwing away Colonel Novik's telegram for help, Marshal Adrien stared at the map and began to seriously think about how to fight back.
