Chapter 373： When selling teammates

In Venice, high-level Hungarian independent organizations came together to make the final preparations for the uprising. No, exactly, to make the final preparations for running.

Doing a full set of dramas, life and fame and fortune always cannot escape.

"Lee" Stephen and others have almost fished enough to make them comfortable for the rest of their lives, and now the most important thing is to maintain their reputation.

Others can be traitors, and these high-level independent organizations cannot do anything or let people know that they are traitors.

Otherwise, how can Americans who give money and help spare them? Now that their family businesses are in the United States, missionaries cannot run churches.

Stephen said, "The boat has already been booked. Once the uprising fails, we will immediately go to Albania, and then enter Greece by land. Then we will use the Ottoman Empire to travel to Asia from the Persian Gulf, and then to Japan to San Francisco.

Somra asked in confusion: "Mr. Stephen, why go around such a big circle? The Austrians have promised that they will only pursue a symbolic hunt, and we can go directly to the United States by boat."

Stephen explained: "Yes, the Austrians promised to let us go, but what if an accident happened?

The matter that kept us away is highly confidential. The Mediterranean area is full of the activities of the Austrian Navy. What if we are unlucky and caught?

In order to reduce the risk, we have to detour. The best option is to enter the Balkan Peninsula from Venice by an unattended fishing boat and leave from areas not covered by the Austrian forces. "

In order to be more realistic, Stephen also worked hard. The younger brother ca n’t be out of luck, these bosses have nothing to do, but they have to show a rush.

Paul echoed: "Mr. Stephen is right, we must be cautious at this time. It is not necessarily a good thing to return to the United States as soon as possible. Now the Civil War is coming to an end.

If the federal government wins, that's all. If they lose the war, every country needs to intervene to keep the power.

In that case, in order to seek help from various countries, the Lincoln government will most likely hand over all of us revolutionary organizations.

For security reasons, it's best to wait until the matter is over before returning to the United States. "

Everyone's face changed drastically. If Americans were to submit to European countries and surrender all members of the revolutionary organizations in the country, their family business in the United States would be gone.

Seeing everyone's concerns, Stephen comforted: "Don't worry, as long as we are still waiting for the warrant, no one dares to move everyone's property."

No one dare to grab the money of the desperate. This means to take life, but to spend it.

...

Otko, a rising star of the Hungarian independent organization. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, participated in the Civil War, and served as battalion commander.

On the battlefield, he rose to fame by daring to fight and kill. The leaders of the Hungarian independent organization are morally noble people who do not admire Rongli, and it is his responsibility to direct the heavy responsibility of the Venice Uprising.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers under his command, Otko was full of spirits. The only pity is the lack of weapons, according to Mr. Stephen, for security reasons.

After all, it was on the Austrian territory. If thousands of armed men appeared, the local garrison would have already been killed.

Otko feels very reasonable, Austria's system is already very strict. Although there is no comprehensive ban on guns, there are a large number of guns in the civilian population, but most of them are shotguns.

A serious rifle still needs to be filed at the police station and applied for a gun permit.

It's not that anyone can get a permit, at least none of them are eligible.

It's very easy to buy guns in Austria, there are no less than ten gun stores in Venice, and artillery can be sold. Colonial empire, how can overseas colonial teams mix without weapons?

However, weapons are easy to buy, and ammunition is difficult to handle.

If it is used for overseas colonial purposes, it does not matter how much it is; if it is used locally, you can only hold a gun permit and apply for a bullet at the local police station.

The government severely cracked down on the existence of all privately-made weapons and ammunition and the smuggling of arms. The police have the right to kill all participants if they trade arms in the underground black market.

After a long time, everyone is used to it. If you want to play weapons, go directly to the hunting grounds or clubs, as long as you have rich cannons, you have to play.

There is absolutely no need to carry your head to the black market, in case you are caught by an arms dealer, there is no place to justify it.

Without a market, there is no buying or selling.

It is impossible to buy weapons and ammunition used by thousands of people. So Otko, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, had only ten guns in his hand, including eight shotguns and two old-fashioned revolvers.

This was all sponsored by the local Italians who were inclined to revolution. There was no way to get more. They could only take it from the enemy after the uprising broke out.

On February 1, 1865, several up-and-coming teenagers in the general command of the rebel army were drawing up a combat plan.

Don't look down on them when they are young. These people are the few military talents in Hungarian independent organizations, most of whom participated in the Civil War.

If it weren't for the crisis, the Federal Army would not let go. Everyone knows how many Americans are short of officers.

Otko opened a sketch and said: "This is the information provided by Mr. Amko. Although Austria allows guns, it has very strict control over ammunition.

All weapons and equipment stores have no ammunition. Only hunting grounds, gun clubs, police stations, and local garrisons have enough ammunition.

The garrison need not think about it. It is estimated that these guns in our hands were suppressed before they could reach their door.

The hunting ground is far from the city, and we can't run for dozens of miles to capture weapons and then rush back to start an uprising.

The ammunition reserve in the firearms club should not be too much. Their ammunition also comes from the police station. Basically, they will be replenished once every two or three days. This cannot meet our needs.

For the uprising to succeed, we must first take down the police station and seize enough ammunition. "

Having said that, Otko was very depressed. The ammunition depot of Venice was actually next to the naval base, and it was impossible to capture it.

In other words, even if it was seized, it would be useless. Within the coverage of naval artillery, it would be finished before they removed the ammunition.

"Venice is not suitable for launching an uprising. It is necessary to take a boat out of the house. These boats are simply unable to give play to our manpower advantage.

With these guns in our hands, it is almost impossible to take the police station. Even the Chengbei branch with the smallest number of people is not something we can take away.

Moreover, these Italian mercenaries are unreliable, and if something goes wrong, they are likely to flee. "

The young man who raised his objection was named Taft. He also participated in the Civil War and had certain military common sense.

It is just too upright and has been marginalized in revolutionary organizations. If this uprising wasn't too important, and he has military capabilities, there would be no place for him in the headquarters.

Otko explained patiently: "Military, Venice is really not suitable for initiating an uprising. Even if it occupied this place, this water city would be threatened by the Austrian navy.

But politically we must do this, and the military must serve politics. To achieve a shocking effect, the organization decided to launch an uprising in Milan and Venice at the same time.

Once the revolution is successful in these two cities, the Lombardy and Venesia regions will shake, and the entire Austrian Italy region will be independent.

Use the independence of the Italian region to attract the attention of the Vienna government and provide cover for the organization's uprising in Hungary.

It is impossible for the Austrians to bombard Venice as soon as the uprising, this is our opportunity. As long as this time difference is used and a revolutionary army is integrated, the war can be burned to the inland areas.

The greater the momentum created in Italy, the higher the success rate of our uprising in Hungary. So from the beginning, there was no strategic goal for this uprising.

We just need to create a bigger momentum to disrupt the Venezia region and engulf more people in the rebel army. Victory or defeat is not important. Even if the uprising fails, all the dead are Italians. "

This explanation is still very satisfactory. Everyone grew up in the United States, and everyone was naturally affected, thinking that politics is higher than military.

As everyone knows, this order was reversed just before seizing power. Only when the military wins first can there be room for political play.

The last sentence of the uprising failed, and all the Italians died, leaving Taft with nothing to say.

Stephen didn't order them to fight to the end, and told them from the beginning: doing things in Italy was just to fight the West and provide cover for the Hungarian uprising.

As long as the momentum is created, it attracts the eyes of the enemy, and the end result of the uprising is within the consideration of the organization.

Almost plainly telling them that the uprising failed and ran away. This Italian mercenary could be used as an abandoner.

Otherwise, Otko would not be so relaxed. Expect a bunch of black people to overthrow Austria's rule in the local area.
