Chapter 187： Patients with phobia

Franz's troubles were absent from Abdul Mejd I. If he knew about Austria's plan, he would not have to give up Serbia.

In fact, the territory abandoned by the Sudanese government this time is not only in Serbia, but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The reason is very real-can't hold it.

Since they knew they couldn't keep up, why should they waste their troops for nothing? The Ottoman government made what it thought was the right choice and concentrated its superior forces to defend the Russians from attack.

As for Austria, after the occupation of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the front was too long and it was too late to stabilize the rear. How could it continue to attack?

Britain and France have promised the Ottoman government: As long as the Russians are defeated, they are sure to be at the negotiating table and let Austria spit out what they eat.

With so many favorable conditions, Abdul Mejid I certainly had to concentrate his forces to fight the Russians.

In order to delay the speed of the Austrian army, the Ottoman army destroyed the roads and bridges along the way, burned down the granaries, and collected a large number of young people to leave.

Constantinople

Staring at the big map on the wall, Abdul Mejd I sighed, and he did not want to give up his ancestral heritage, but the reality could not be ignored.

Regarding the promise of Britain and France, Abdul Mejid I never fully believed in it. For example, now-the reinforcements promised by the British did not arrive in full.

The promised 80,000 reinforcements only came to 20,000, and the rest of the troops will wait until they expand. Then they ca n’t get it.

This is true. The British Army could not send out so many reinforcements. The London government did not intend to pit teammates this time.

As for Palmerston's commitment in the Paris negotiations, how can it be said that the French can not help?

Haven't you seen the French army, have you been fooled over? In order to achieve a dazzling result, Napoleon III sent out all elite troops, and did not bring in new recruits to fill up.

Abdul Mejd I calmed down and asked, "Are the camps for the Allies arranged?"

"They have been properly resettled, and we have evacuated the surrounding residents. We must ensure that no disturbances can occur." Minister of State Bisala Mahmud replied solemnly.

The British and French troops of this era were disciplined when they were on the mainland, and they were no different from bandits and bandits when they went abroad. Robbery was also an important business for them.

When the first batch of French reinforcements arrived, the Ottoman government suffered a loss, and now it is natural to learn a lesson.

Abdul Majed I did not despise the military discipline of the British and French armies. In fact, the military discipline of the Ottoman Empire was even worse. The British and French coalitions kept their rules at least when they were home. The Ottoman army was a scourge at home.

However, the difference between the two sides is that the Sultan of the Ottoman army can still be restrained, and the British and French troops cannot command it at all.

Abdul Mejd I continued to ask: "The British and French have not yet negotiated, who will be the commander in chief of the coalition?"

The union of the British, French, and Ottoman countries is not the same as the alliance between Austria and the Russians. They have to cooperate with each other to fight, so the command of the coalition forces is a big problem.

On this issue, the Ottoman Empire originally had a say, but this right of speech disappeared after the defeat of the Bulgarian campaign.

In the face of two British and French gangsters, the Sudanese government can't bother to provoke it, and it is simply a silence to come.

Hundreds of years of feuds between Britain and France have accumulated the hatred of the peoples of the two countries, which cannot be resolved by a government order.

The French broke the British dream, and the British broke the French hegemony. The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it is not clear whether he is right or wrong.

The French now believe that their army has the highest combat effectiveness in the world, and Reason has obtained the highest command of the coalition.

Napoleon III wanted to raise France's status in the world and gain political prestige for himself, so the French must fight for this coalition command.

The British believe that: they are the world's hegemons, (although they have not yet been recognized), the world's comprehensive national strength is first in the world, the world's old nature must have the leader of the world, and the British cannot give up command.

The British were unwilling to be commanded by the French, and the French were unwilling to be commanded by the British. Not only the high-rises, but also the soldiers below.

Although everyone is an ally, the officers and men of the two armies just don't like each other. Hengmei's coldness is quite good. Fighting and strife often occur from time to time.

Then, Sultan Abdul Mejid had a headache. The two bosses were arguing endlessly, but the battle was going to be fought!

The Russians stopped offensive, not because they did not fight, but in preparation for a new campaign. While hurrying to transport strategic supplies, let the rest troops wait for reinforcements.

"No, the representatives of Britain and France are still arguing." Foreign Minister Frank Ader replied with a grin.

It is not that he did not work hard. Since the Austrian government secretly provoked public opinion in Britain and France, this issue has become sensitive. No one of the two governments dares to give in easily.

In the words of the Times: Don't let the Frenchman ride **** on our heads!

French media have made similar remarks. The position of a coalition commander has now risen to the dignity of two countries.

This situation was unexpected for everyone. Had it been known that such a thing would have happened, the two governments would not have been arguing about this issue at all, giving the opposition a chance.

Controlling the public opinion in Britain and France, Austria is not so capable, only their domestic forces can do it.

Being able to trouble their own political opponents is a politically correct thing, and they have no reason to not do it.

Abdul Mejd I sighed, "Oh!"

He also said: "Tell the British and French representatives that if they still cannot reach an agreement, they will form a joint command of the three countries, and each of us will have one person to jointly command.

If it still doesn't work, then split up the troops and command your own troops, as long as they cooperate with each other! "

Obviously, Abdul Mejd I knew that these were two puppet ideas. But there is no way. The Ottoman government has no way to persuade Britain and France.

The start of the war again is imminent, and the issue of command cannot be resolved. Once the Russians launch an offensive, they will suffer a great deal.

In any case, let's establish a coalition command first. It is really not a division, and Abdul Mejid I can accept it.

Anyway, the British now have 20,000 troops. The main force of the war is the Ottoman army and the French army. The British are responsible for knocking the drums.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ade replied.

Turin

Since the defeat of the Osa war, Charlie Albert, the unlucky king, has been abandoned by the people of Sardinia, and his son Vittorio Emmanuel II succeeded.

Unlike in history, this time Charlie Albert left a super mess.

Not to mention the huge foreign debt, which was patronized by the Austrian army, the economy in Sardinia was dealt a devastating blow, and it still has not emerged from the shadows.

The legendary Prime Minister Gafur stepped onto the stage of history in this context. Unfortunately, he is a man and not a god. In the face of this super mess, he also has a headache.

development of? This problem has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Sardinia for the time being, let's recover it first! If we can't solve domestic problems, what developments are we talking about?

"What? Prime Minister, you are actually going to fight the Russians?" Vittorio Emmanuel II roared almost roaring

Since the Osa War, Vittorio Emmanuel II has been full of shadows. Now that I heard that Carfur was going to fight the Russians, it broke out immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Prime Minister of Carfur replied.

Vittorio Emmanuel II asked angrily: "My Prime Minister, are you sure you are not kidding me?"

The Prime Minister of Cardiff replied without change: "Your Majesty, this is of course serious, how could I be kidding me about this kind of thing?"

Vittorio Emmanuel II asked, "Crazy! For no reason, why are we going to fight the Russians, do you have any resentment against the Russians?"

There is no conflict of interest between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Russians, and Vittorio Emmanuel II could not find a reason to beat the Russians.

The Prime Minister of Gafur explained without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have no grievances with the Russians, and even if I look at them, they will definitely not rise to the height of hatred.

Now that the three countries of Britain, France, and Ottoman are fighting the Russians, we want to seek the help of Britain and France, and this is the opportunity.

Join this war and seek an opportunity to align with Britain and France. Use this war to get rid of the domestic economic crisis and let us get out of trouble. "

Vittorio Emmanuel II thought about it seriously. Although the proposal of Prime Minister Cavour was imaginary, it may not be impossible for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is far away from Russia. There is no need to worry about Russian military threats. Even if they offend the Russians, they are not afraid of revenge.

Vittorio Emmanuel II shook his head and said, "It's not enough. It's just a chance to ally with Britain and France. It's not valuable to us.

At present, we do not have the bargaining chips to negotiate with Britain and France. We are not qualified to intervene in the interests of the Near East.

Taking advantage of the war to get out of the economic crisis, it is difficult for my Prime Minister's current Sardinian kingdom to get together the equipment of an infantry division.

Do you want Britain and France to provide us with weapons and equipment and take their weapons and equipment, that is to send the boys to the battlefield as cannon fodder. "

The reality is so cruel, the power of the Sardinian kingdom is too weak. After the Osa war, even the army was dissolved. This was not persecuted by Austria, but by finance.

The British do not do charity. Loans and interest are not small. They must be returned on time. The Kingdom of Sardinia has no money to develop its army.

Anyway, there are British people in the national defense to provide protection. They only need an armed force that can stabilize the country, and the police force is enough. The only army in the Kingdom of Sardinia is the King's Guard.

The Prime Minister of Gafur said passionately: "Your Majesty, I know that British and French weapons and equipment are not easy to obtain, and I am not willing to let the boys go to the battlefield to make cannon fodder, but now the country needs it!

Without the support of Britain and France, the Kingdom of Sardinia would not have the opportunity to grow. Before the blood of the Oscars had dried up, we could never avenge the Austrians by our own strength.

They leave to ... "

Vittorio Emmanuel II said dissatisfied: "Stop! Prime Minister Govern, I don't want to listen to your long story.

All day propaganda revenge on Austria, are you worried that the Austrians have forgotten us, and remind them to be vigilant, is there another enemy in the Italian region?

During the Osa war, the Kingdom of Sardinia killed 110,000 heroic soldiers, sacrificed 80,000 civilians, and wounded more than 100,000 wounded. Economic losses are even more incalculable. The entire Sardinian kingdom is crying.

The war casualties and the worsening economic situation have reduced the total population of the Kingdom of Sardinia by 670,000 from 1848 to the present.

Do you think we have extra manpower to consume? Even with the support of Britain and France, we have the ability to avenge Austria? "

revenge? Vittorio Emanuel II thought, but reality doesn't allow it. The Kingdom of Sardinia is just a small projectile country with a territory of 70,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million.

After a blow, not only did Vitorio Emmanuel II have no confidence at this time, the entire kingdom of Sardinia lost faith.

The main purpose of the Prime Minister of Cardiff to revenge on Austria was to use the power of hatred to inspire everyone's morale and work for the unification of Italy.

Carfur continued to explain: "Your Majesty, the international situation is ever-changing. Now Britain and France are leaning together, and Russia and Austria are standing together again. It is a matter of time before we stand in line.

Rather than being forced to stand in line at that time, it would be better to join in now. The Oscar war two years ago decided that we had no choice.

Declaring war on the Russians is just an attitude. Our strength is limited, and Britain and France will not require us to do much.

Now that Montenegro and Greece are on the Russian side, Britain and France also need someone to help sip internationally. It is just right to do this with the strength of the Kingdom of Sardinia. "

After listening to this explanation, Vittorio Emmanuel II looked slightly slower.

You don't need to invest a lot of troops, you can also discuss. After losing too much in the last war, his father changed from a hero to a bear, and was finally forced to abdicate. He didn't want to come again.

Vittorio Emmanuel II calmly said: "We also have to consider the attitude of Austria. The Russians can't help us, but they are with us. The Vienna government ordered that we would be in exile again in a week Now. "

In the face of patients with phobia, Gafur is powerless. It was not only Vittorio Emmanuel II. Many people had it after the Osa War, even he was no exception, but his self-control was not strong.

This sentiment is particularly serious among the people. After experiencing a war in person, many people know the horror of the war and the fear of Austria is even more serious.

This is the aftermath of over-promotion. The Charlie-Albert period propagated Austria's decay, exaggerated the power of the Sardinian kingdom, and cultivated the self-confidence of the Sardinian people.

It is a pity that this self-confidence was lost in the Osa War, and then the reaction force broke out. Those who have experienced this war have become the patients with the fear of Austria.

The nationalists and middle-two teenagers who were not afraid of it in those days are no longer upset. The country is stable, but the Italian unification plan has also died.

Hesitating for a moment, Gafur said, "Your Majesty, I will find a solution to the Austrian problem. If they resolutely oppose, we will give up this opportunity!"

This problem cannot be avoided, and if Austria makes a military threat, Gafur himself will also advise. The current Sardinian kingdom does not have the power of World War I. In participating in the Near East War, in fact, they can only shake their flags.

After listening to Gafur's answer, Vittorio Emmanuel II nodded with satisfaction, expressing acquiescence.
