After continuing to recruit troops, Vittorio Emanuele III naturally had no objection. Only enough troops could drive away the French and then revive the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After struggling for so many years, I finally saw the dawn. Now I can’t give up. To win the final victory, it is completely worth paying a little price.

Moreover, the war was not in vain. The Vienna government had long made a promise that all participating countries would share the spoils with their contributions to the war.

Thanks to Franz's reputation for operating for so many years, everyone still recognizes this promise.

The French have great achievements and just a little bit of it will be enough to have enough food for the Kingdom of Sardinia. The only prerequisite is that they must have achievements that can be made.

The bosses have this attitude, let alone the people below. It is the kingly way to finish the war and divide the fruits and fruits, and the others are all in the details.

In order to drive away the French as soon as possible, everyone's performance on the issue of recruitment was naturally particularly active.

As for the promises during the recruitment, no one cared about it. You should know that in the past, in order to call on the people to get up and drive away the French, the conditions for promising to go out were even more generous.

I don’t know whether this question can be fulfilled or they didn’t think about it on purpose, or they were not ready to fulfill it at all.

This is not important, there is reward for your efforts. Seeing the Italians cooperate in this way, Morks naturally wants to repay you. Except for the supreme command, the remaining power will naturally be decentralized.

What will happen in the end is not Morks' business if a group of idealists, speculators and verbal parties is involved in commanding a force.

Although there are many states in Italy, there are huge differences in strength between states. The most developed kingdom of Sardinia can surpass the sum of the small states in the central and southern regions.

From a global perspective, the best way to stabilize the situation in the Italian region is to balance the strength of the Italian states and weaken the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Now is the best opportunity to tighten the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia. No matter what, the Sardinian Legion has the responsibility to do so.

After the recruitment, the war cannot stop. The bones in Turin are not easy to gnaw. Before the cannon fodder recruitment is completed, the Austrian army cannot fill the pit with their own people.

Infantry cannot be used, but artillery can be used freely. In addition, airships and planes in the sky, the French army in Turin will have a hard time.

For the needs of air defense, the French command has been moved to the basement, which makes Marshal Adrien, who is highly regarded, very embarrassed.

However, it is no longer a matter of face, but whether we can protect Turin and protect Italy.

Although the Italian region needs industry but no industry, resources and resources are just like the burden of France. In fact, it is also the backbone of the French Empire, and its importance is second only to the local area.

From a strategic perspective, if the Italian region is lost, the French navy can only circulate at home, and the Mediterranean hegemony has nothing to do with them.

From an economic perspective, the Italian region provides France with a cheap labor and commodity market. Having lost Italy, France's already recessionable manufacturing industry is not far from closing down.

The economic strategic influence is great, and the political influence is even more fatal. The current situation is not optimistic, and if there is another big defeat, no one will be optimistic about them.

If no one is optimistic, no one will invest. You should know that the French government is trying to pull the British into the water. If the Italian region is lost, the British government will not be able to jump into this pit even if it is the first to be the first.

Moreover, with the previous series of failures, the domestic situation has become unstable. If the Italian region is lost, who can guarantee that there will be no revolution in China?

In order to avoid the worst situation, the Paris government ordered the Italian region to be firmly guarded, and Turin was the most important part.

Marshal Adrien asked, “Are you ready?”

The middle-aged officer replied confidently: "Don't worry, Marshal. We are fully prepared. No matter how powerful the enemy's armored troops are, they will be meat on the chopping board when they enter the city.

Every street, every alley, and every building in Turin will become a burial place for the enemy.”

In order to defend Turin, the French army also made full preparations. Not only did they deploy heavy troops and construct complete fortifications, but they also had secret weapons prepared by the Paris government.

War was the best driving force for the development of military industry. After the outbreak of the European War, the French were not idle. Various new weapons emerged one after another, but they were covered up under Austrian aircraft and tanks.

Of course, new weapons are not necessarily weapons on the battlefield. Most of the new weapons are the fate of a one-day tour of the battlefield. Only weapons that have experienced actual combat tests can become real weapons on the battlefield.

Marshal Adrien was not moved by his subordinates' guarantees. Defending Turin only ensured that the enemy could not fight quickly. If the enemy wanted, he could still advance all the way to southern Italy. If he wanted to win, he still had to take the initiative to attack.

There is no doubt that it is impossible to attack now. It is impossible for the French army to send heads to send people without being able to deal with the enemy's armored forces.

...

The situation on the continental battlefield has reversed, and the British government has also been struggling.

Originally, the Russians were enough for them to bear it. Before the British government could take action, Spain and Switzerland joined in; before they could react, they suddenly told them that the French army was going to be defeated.

Looking at the analysis report in his hand, Gladstone couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question from the bottom of his heart: "Is this the Frenchman's performance?"

You should know that France is known as the world's number one army power, and it has also been recognized by countries around the world. Before the outbreak of the war, the French military had many awesome slogans, such as "the military parade in Vienna within half a year" and "the end of the European War in three months"...

Judging from the current situation, the French should not be talking about the military parade in Vienna, but about going to Vienna to watch the military parade.

Army Secretary Rosario: "It's a pity, Prime Minister. Although it's a bit incredible, it's true.

The French made a bunch of shit on the battlefield. Except for the anti-French alliance caught off guard in the early stages of the war, they had no record of making any moves.

According to the analysis of the Military Information Observation Group, after the outbreak of the war, the French army's combat effectiveness declined all the way due to the rapid expansion of its troops. The original combat effectiveness advantage gradually became a disadvantage.

In contrast, the situation in Austria is much better. They have a huge reserve force and a large number of reserve officers, which can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In addition to the backward mobilization system, the French were also completely behind in the research and development of weapons and equipment. Aircraft, tanks, and new machine guns were all created by the enemy.

In the case of being completely backward, the French army's record of being able to play is already very excellent.

Facts have proved that modern wars can no longer be won by courage, and we must pay attention to the comprehensive development of the army."

This is the truth. Although Rosario is suspected of washing the French army's land, it is still the fact in general. The French army's defeat on the battlefield is indeed based on the dual role of system and weapons and equipment.

As for the purpose, it is obvious. Apart from military spending, there is nothing that can make the Secretary of the Army work so hard.

Today is different from the past. Britain is now facing a threat from land. I won’t say that Austria threatens the Cape of Hope, it can only be considered a small profit, and it is not enough to make the Vienna government crazy; India threatened by the Russians is different, and the Tsarist government will definitely not let it go if there is a chance.

With the lessons of the French, the British government had to strengthen the construction of the army, otherwise they would suffer a great loss in the next British-Russian War.

Gladstone frowned. Now he really has no intention of entangling military expenditure issues. No matter how threatened the Russians are, it will not break out in a short while. On the contrary, the European War may undergo drastic changes at any time.

"We will find time to discuss the issue of military construction later. The French government asked us for help many times, but it seems that they can't continue to fight.

In order to balance and stability on the European continent, we must quell this war as soon as possible and preserve the vitality of the French."

"Armature" is simple to say, but difficult to do. The anti-French alliance has already gained an advantage, and it is obviously difficult for them to let the French go.

If the anti-French alliance did not have an absolute advantage on the battlefield before the Russian, Western and Swiss countries joined the war, the British government would interfere strongly, and it might be a bit more time to rely on international mediation.

It's different now. Three of the five European powers have declared war with the French. Even if Britain wants to form a group to mediate, it will not be able to come up with a decent lineup.

The disputes between the great powers are not easy to mix. If a small country gets in, maybe it will be possible to get themselves in first. Apart from Britain, there is no other second person in the European continent who is qualified to mediate.

Even if the scope is expanded to the whole world, it will be the same. If it is not the great powers, it will be raised up, and no one will buy it.

Foreign Minister George shrugged, "This is difficult to do. The advantages of the anti-French alliance are too obvious, and the Austrians will definitely not give up on this opportunity to weaken their competitors.

The most troublesome thing is that the Habsburg dynasty's ability to attract allies was too powerful, and major countries on the European continent became members of the anti-French alliance.

This is just the beginning. As far as I know, they are still trying to win over the three countries of Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Nordic Federation. With the French on the battlefield, no one can guarantee whether these fencemen will join the anti-French alliance.

Now that we want to preserve France's vitality, we must let the Paris government surrender immediately and use the existing chips in their hands to gain some of the benefits for ourselves.

Everyone knows how arrogant the French are. Even if the Paris government is willing to compromise, the French people will not agree.

With the advent of a series of failures on the front line, Napoleon IV's rule has begun to become unstable. At this time, compromise with the anti-French alliance, I am afraid that there will be a revolution within France."

This is not an alarmist statement. The domestic situation in France is indeed very dangerous. After the outbreak of the European War, Austria banned grain exports while raising prices internationally.

International prices have risen, and as an importer, France, domestic prices have naturally risen. Capitalists have also taken the opportunity to make a fortune in the national crisis, and ordinary people have become the biggest victims.

If the French army continued to win on the battlefield, they would naturally be able to suppress these contradictions; unfortunately, the French army was frustrated, and the contradictions that were suppressed in the past were now no longer suppressed.
