Chapter 303 Peacekeeping
On November 26, 1858, the Fa-Saar conflict caused by the assassination case officially began negotiations.
As a part-time victim of the host, the French representative Auvergne said angrily: "Everyone must know what happened, His Majesty the great Napoleon III was assassinated by an evil organization.
The murderer is still at large, and the peace-loving France immediately sent a note to the Kingdom of Sardinia after the incident.
As a result, the relationship between the Sardinian government and the evil organization is much deeper than we expected. Instead of arresting the murderers, they gave them shelter, ignoring France's good-natured advice.
Now we are here to declare that if the Sardinian government is unable to arrest the murderer, we do not rule out the possibility of taking strong measures. "
Auvergne is obviously not a simple person. He never mentions compensation, and he will not let go of the murderer, so as to win everyone's sympathy and support.
The threat of force only showed their tough attitude, and never mentioned the matter of ceding land to the Kingdom of Sardinia for indemnity, which was completely different from the private communication between the two countries before.
Prime Minister Cavour has a headache, and his opponent is obviously a professional. On the issue of punishing the murderer, the positions of the governments of all countries are basically the same.
Cavour replied bravely: "Your Excellency Count, the murderer has been arrested, and everyone has been identified. This matter has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Sardinia."
This was negotiated with the British in advance, and the Sardinian government could never admit that it had anything to do with the assassination. Only by refusing to admit it can we have a chance to pass the current hurdle.
Auvergne sneered and said: "Enough, at this time, you still have to quibble, do you really think France is easy to bully?
The four murderers are all members of militant groups in your country. The organization's goal is to annex the entire Italian region, and its activities are funded by the government of your country. It doesn't matter if you tell me! "
Looking at Auvergne's murderous gaze, Cavour knew that the French were really angry this time. At this time, he couldn't admit that he had anything to do with this matter.
Cavour explained: "His Excellency Count, calm down. These four murderers only once joined the Charcoal Burning Party, but they were expelled long ago for their behavior and even emigrated.
It cannot be said that it was once a member of the Carbon Burning Party, and that the organization is an evil organization. As far as I know, His Majesty Napoleon III also joined the organization. Do you think His Majesty is also evil? "
Auvergne sneered: "Nonsense, when did Your Majesty join this evil organization, he just heard that the organization is engaged in slave trade and drug trafficking.
I went deep into it to investigate this organization, but unfortunately, all the evidence that Your Majesty has collected so much has been taken away by your government in the end. "
When it comes to playing rascals, who is afraid of whom? Engaging in the slave trade, selling drugs, these are not what Auvergne said.
There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are several slave traders and drug dealers in the Carbon Burning Party. What's so strange.
Others dare not lift the cover, Auvergne is not afraid of offending people. No matter how powerful the capitalists in the Kingdom of Sardinia are, they are not capable of doing things in France.
At this time, Austrian representative Martic also sneered: "Mr. Cavour, you seem to have something in your words. It seems that your government is really at all costs in order to provoke a war between France and Austria!"
Cavour hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, this is a misunderstanding. We have absolutely no intention to provoke relations between the two countries."
Although he also wanted to provoke the Fa-Austrian War, he could never say this. If you do it secretly, as long as you don't get discovered, everything is easy to say. Once the matter is exposed, it will be over.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Thomas could not save the field. I have already greeted the entire Cavour family in my heart. Even if it is to provoke relations between the two countries, it cannot be so obvious.
This assassination case is very obvious, no matter how much you throw the blame on the Austrians, even if you change the topic, you can't stimulate the Austrians!
The foreign powers have no one to bully, and revenge is definitely enough for the Sardinian government to drink a pot.
"Okay, things have already happened. It's unnecessary to talk about these irrelevant issues. Let's talk about compensation directly!"
Auvergne sneered and said, "Mr. Thomas, it's better to open up the issue first. The issue of compensation is not in a hurry. We are here today to punish the murderer, not for compensation."
Martic cooperated: "We must not have any appeasement for an evil organization dedicated to disrupting the balance of Europe and provoking war."
Thomas was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by provoking a war?"
Martic said solemnly: "Just a few days ago, our Vienna police arrested several assassins who wanted to assassinate His Majesty the Great Franz, and these assassins happened to be members of the organization.
By the way, they also joined the French nationality. The purpose is to provoke the conflict between France and Austria, to break the Vienna system, so as to realize the ambition of the Sardinian kingdom to annex Italy.
Of course, perhaps not just for the annexation of the Italian region, their slogan was to rebuild the Roman Empire. "
After hearing this explanation, everyone's expressions changed greatly, and the eyes they looked at Cavour were different. I have seen people who are killed, but I have never seen such a toss.
Thomas asked incredulously: "Mr. Martic, are these true?"
Martic took out a document and said: "Of course, this is information from China, and everyone can read it.
There are detailed investigation results above, and the identities of these people can be verified. The assassination and the
The Paris-born assassination was all planned by the same gang.
According to the investigation, these people have been lurking in Vienna for more than half a year, and it is the Sardinian government that provides them with financial sponsorship. "
Hearing this news, Prime Minister Cavour almost fainted. They all got it on the table and said, obviously the evidence is conclusive. Even if it's not 100% real, it's a fake.
In particular, accusing the Sardinian government of financing the assassination is simply deadly. This charge has been confirmed, and needless to say, the Kingdom of Sardinia is doomed.
At this time, Cavour was very regretful. If he knew that there were such talents in the Charcoal Burning Party, he would never let the government provide them with funding.
Although this organization is contributing to the unification of the Italian region, its ability to cause trouble is terrifying.
Assassinate the two emperors of France and Austria, provoke a war between the two countries, and then unify the Italian region. Such a genius idea is really not something that ordinary people can come up with.
Even if they dare to think about it, normal people would not dare to implement it. Once there is the slightest mistake, it will kill people.
Now that it's good, both sides have been caught on the right side. Cavour now understood why the Vienna government had suddenly changed its stance, and whoever encountered such a thing would have to retaliate.
They can also figure out a solution if they get the message ahead of time. Now he was caught off guard and gave him no chance to act at all.
After a brief look at the funds, Thomas simply chose to shut up. To intervene at this time, we must first be prepared to meet the anger of France and Austria. Obviously, the London government is not prepared for this.
If the French and Austrian countries mistakenly believe that the assassination was ordered by them, that is the real big trouble.
At present, the overall strength of the four major European countries is balanced, and no one country can compete with one another. We must be cautious in diplomacy.
Even if the Russians won the Near East War, it would be Russia vs. Britain and France. If the Russians singled out Britain and France, the final result would still be the same as in history.
Ivanov, the Russian representative who has been playing soy sauce, suddenly said: "In view of the current complex situation, the Sardinian government has been involved in the assassination case, and it is no longer realistic to rely on them to catch the murderer.
I propose that everyone form a joint investigation team to temporarily take over the Kingdom of Sardinia and conduct a comprehensive investigation to wipe out this evil organization. "
Thomas' eyes lit up, the idea was a good one. International co-management is also better than allowing France and Austria to divide up. As for the investigation of the murderer, it is only incidental.
He is also very interested in this possible behind-the-scenes mastermind. If such a daring master is not caught, Thomas is also worried that one day he will come to them.
Thomas followed suit and said, "Marquis Ivanov is right. The decision of this evil organization cannot be relaxed. If they are not wiped out, peace in Europe will be threatened at any time."
The representatives of various countries present were all smart people, and they soon discovered the benefits of the joint investigation team, and naturally responded one after another.
As for the attitude of the Sardinian government, it doesn't matter anymore, Cavour hesitated. At this time, the joint investigation team was refused to settle in, and it was time to meet the French-Austrian coalition.
Although the Vienna government had no interest in the Kingdom of Sardinia, they did not know that they had missed the last chance to preserve sovereignty.
The two countries that have not made a statement have been left with France and Austria, and Martic has an indifferent attitude, leaving the opportunity to perform to Auvergne.
"It is easy for the joint investigation team to enter the kingdom of Sardinia, but considering the role played by the Sardinian government in this incident, we have reason to believe that they will destroy, destroy evidence, and even kill people.
In order to carry out the investigation smoothly, it is imperative to send troops into the Kingdom of Sardinia to cooperate with the investigation team.
As the largest victimized country, the French government is willing to send 80,000 troops into the Kingdom of Sardinia to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation. "
Seeing the poor figure dagger, it is easy to ask God to send God difficult. Once the French had entered the kingdom of Sardinia, it was not so simple to get them to leave.
Martic said, "We have no opinion, if this evil organization is not eradicated, the peace of the European continent will always be threatened.
The Austrian government is willing to send 3,000 troops into the Kingdom of Sardinia to cooperate with the investigation team to eradicate this evil organization. "
One sent 80,000 troops and the other sent 3,000 troops. With such a huge gap, the fool also knew the attitude of France and Austria.
If the kingdom of Sardinia is to be divided up, it is impossible for Austria to send such a few troops, which obviously means that the Vienna government has no interest in the kingdom of Sardinia.
The eyes of everyone surrendered to Auvergne. Eighty thousand French troops were almost enough to occupy the Kingdom of Sardinia. If it was not for the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, no one would believe it.
Thomas objected: "Mr. Auvergne, you have sent too many troops, just to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation, there is no need for so many.
Besides, there are still so many countries in our country, how can you let your family take all the obligations?
Well, our English government sent 5,000 troops to cooperate with the investigation team to ensure the stability of the Sardinian kingdom. "
It's not that Thomas doesn't want to send more troops, but that the London government can't come up with more troops now. Even if you can get it out, it's useless. It costs money to send troops.
The purpose of the French is to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia. No matter how much troops are sent, the cost will be recovered in the future. They are really doing volunteer work this time, fulfilling their international responsibilities, and checking and balancing the French by the way.
Then it was lively, and countries responded to you one hundred and one hundred and two hundred, and all countries added up to 1,000 peacekeeping troops.
It fully demonstrated what is called the spirit of internationalism. As for the issue of checking and balancing France, everyone gave the opportunity to the British to perform.
The scalp being stared at was numb, and Auvergne made a concession, directly reducing the number of troops sent by 30,000, and the final result was no different.
Adding in the 1,000 people promised by the Russians at the end, the coalition forces of various countries added up to barely 10,000 people. It is impossible to check and balance the French.
Everyone refused to do anything, and Thomas couldn't do anything.
This time, the dispatch of troops is completely self-contained with dry food. Apart from gaining international reputation and brushing a wave of presence, it is not profitable at all.
If military checks and balances cannot be achieved, then political and diplomatic checks and balances are needed. Thomas immediately made a decision-to make use of strengths and circumvent weaknesses.
