Chapter 571 The Situation (Part 2)

Leboeuf was devastated by Carlo Alberto's slowness. He didn't understand why the Italian was so dawdling. The opportunity had already come out completely. There was no need to hesitate. Just go ahead and fuck Radeski.

If he becomes the Holy King who will unify Italy, why should he return such a good opportunity to his mother-in-law?

In any case, Leboeuf didn't understand what Carlo Alberto was waiting for. Are he waiting for the Austrians to collapse on themselves and let Italy complete the unification? This is simply a joke. No matter how useless the Austrians are, they can't just watch this happen.

Just let the boss lose a piece of his territory!

In fact, Leboeuf's guess was correct. Carlo Alberto was really waiting for Austria to collapse. In his opinion, the Austrians had already started a fire in their backyard, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Transylvania and even

Both Croatia and Serbia may rebel in the near future and declare to part ways with Austria, so let these little brothers try to weaken the Austrians as much as possible, and then give the Austrians a fatal blow at the last moment.

In this way, he takes the minimum risk and maximizes the return, so this transaction is the most suitable!

Not only because of the chicken thieves, Carlo Alberto was also deeply troubled by the revolution. The revolution broke out in Italy earlier than in Austria. He was also forced to compromise with those unruly people and gave up many rights, which allowed him to

The unscrupulous people are a little more honest.

But this also greatly damaged his control over the country, making him a little suspicious and powerless, so he became more cautious.

To put it simply, Carlo Alberto is a bit like Yuan Shao. On the one hand, he thinks very highly of himself and feels that he is the chosen one in Italy and is destined to do a great career. But when it comes to getting serious about it, he hesitates.

Before, I was deeply afraid that if I failed to do something right, my hard-earned status would be ruined.

After all, when he was seeking the throne of Savoy, he almost lost all his pants and was in trouble for a time. If Carlo Felice had not had a son, the throne would have to be inherited by a distant relative, otherwise he would not be able to succeed.

There is no chance of a comeback.

So this also resulted in the shortcomings of his character. On the one hand, he has an adventurous spirit, but on the other hand, because of the shadow of the last adventure, he is a little too protective of himself. All in all, he is a very contradictory person.

Cavour could clearly see Carlo Alberto's ambivalent mentality. He could see that the king was eager to take risks and had the idea of ​​a showdown with Austria, but he was constrained by national power and did not dare to go too far. Of course Cavour

I understand Carlo Alberto's concerns, because he also has the same concerns, and he is also very worried that taking rash actions will not lead to good results.

But, the reality of the Kingdom of Sardinia forced him or Carlo Alberto to take some actions. As for the politician Cavour, at this time he was also speechless to the people of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Probably because of the influence of the victory of the revolution, the people of the Kingdom of Sardinia generally have a kind of blind objectivity. Everyone is high-spirited and thinks that Austria is really a paper tiger, and they can be knocked down by this sick cat with just one finger.

And the Italians have really suffered enough from the division. For thousands of years, they had to be divided and ruled by Austria and France, and they became a pitiful existence. Think about how they were like this when the Roman Empire was at its most glorious.

.

The surging national self-confidence and surging revolutionary passion have made the Italians go to their heads. Of course, this is not surprising at all. They have been like this for thousands of years. When passion rises, it is like a tadpole rising to the brain.

He dared to bring down the emperor with his passion.

Of course, once they suffer a setback, this ambition will immediately be blown away by the wind, and the Italians will run faster than rabbits. In short, these are a group of neurotics that cannot be treated with common sense.

For example, Mazzini, who had been unifying Italy for three terms, had one idea at a time. At first, he pinned all his hopes on France, believing that revolutionary France would give revolutionary Italy a hand and help Italy win.

Evil Austria.

At one time, he even believed that Pope Pius IX was the chosen son and that this pope was the natural choice to promote the unification of Italy. Unfortunately, the latter was much more awake than he was and did not dare to offend Austria at all.

Mazzini was so disappointed that he placed his full hopes on Carlo Alberto. He believed that the Kingdom of Sardinia, which had successfully revolutionized, was the first candidate to unify Italy, and he believed that Carlo Alberto was that person!

It can only be said that Mazzini did get something right. The Kingdom of Sardinia was indeed the hope of unifying Italy. But Carlo Alberto was not the one chosen by God.

It was he, Garibaldi and Cavour, not Carlo Alberto, who were truly chosen by God.

"Giuseppe asked to cooperate with us?"

Cavour, who had just been elected as a member of the first House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Sardinia, received the news from his friend. The excited friend told him that Mazzini was preparing to do something big, and if it succeeded, it would directly lead to the unification of Italy.

But Mazzini felt that he did not have enough capital and hoped that the Kingdom of Sardinia would join the alliance.

This news made Cavour deep in thought, and he was a little moved. Hong Kong is really attractive. If there can be such a linkage, maybe big things can happen!

But this kind of heartbeat only happened for a moment, because the experienced Cavour immediately realized the uncertainty. After all, according to Mazzini's plan, the Pope was an important part, but now the Pope's attitude is not consistent.

On their side, the actions on Rome's side were not obvious at all. There was no sign of a big fight.

On the contrary, the actions of the Austrians, especially Radeski, were very decisive, and they were really decisive in killing people. Moreover, the attitude of France was also very ambiguous, seeming to be somewhat supportive, but without any actual expression. The French even seemed to be dissatisfied with the Italian revolution.

Still very vigilant. This made Cavour feel that Mazzini's plan was more of a fantasy and had little chance of success.

Just when Cavour wanted to refuse, his friend told him more exciting news: "There are rumors that Russia is very concerned about the situation on our side and does not seem to reject a unified Italy...

"

This news simply made Cavour look like he had seen a ghost. He knew very well Russia's attitude towards the revolution and Italy. It was determined to strangle the revolution. Look at the polar bears in Wallachia, Moldavia and Hungary.

Are they just out-and-out military police thugs who protect the old forces in Europe? How can they not reject a unified Italy? What kind of dream talk is this!
