Chapter 903 God of War
There is no joke in the army, since Admiral Morquez proposed a three-line attack plan, it is natural to implement it.
With the command of the command, half of Italy fell into the flames of war at the same time, and the Austrian army stationed in the Lombardy region launched a multi-line attack.
The roar of artillery fire was clearly visible even in the city of Milan dozens of miles away, and the ground movement could even be faintly felt.
Looking in the direction of Turin, Vittorio Emanuele III sighed meaningfully: "Klosner, have you figured out the real purpose of the Austrians?"
Vittorio Emanuele III was not a flower in a greenhouse, he had a clear idea of his worth.
The King of Sardinia is very important to the Vienna government, but this importance is limited to political propaganda, and it is not enough to make Admiral Morkes, the commander of the southern line, put up such a big battle.
The middle-aged man in Kolosna shook his head: "Not yet, our intelligence network in Lombardy has long been cut off by the Austrians.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he would draw a line with us early, and the dark line could no longer be connected.
I tried to visit a few nobles who used to be inclined towards us, and was thrown out directly.
Last night, I also received several threatening letters warning us not to make small moves or they would be rude. "
It can be seen that Kolosner is in a very depressed mood now. The Kingdom of Sardinia can only rely on Austria to restore the country. In this context, how can he have the courage to make small moves?
After experiencing brutal social beatings, Italian independent organizations are not as second-tier as the Carbon Burning Party. Lombardy and Venezia have long been kicked out of Italy.
Even shouting slogans is not enough, the politics is not correct, and the father of the sponsor will not give money.
Not to mention now, the Vienna government proposed to restore the pattern after the Vienna Conference in 1815, and they could only happily accept it.
Doing things in Lombardy is absolutely boring. For the Sardinian Zionists, Austria was their only option.
But for the Austrian government, they are only one option, and there are a lot of spare tires in the back.
Since ancient times, the German region has been rich in kings. It is really not possible, the Austrian government can also elect a new king for the Sardinian people.
"Forget it, just wait if you can't figure it out! The people who notified us try to go out as little as possible, so as not to arouse the unhappiness of the local snakes."
After speaking, Vittorio Emanuele III sighed. When this happened, he was very helpless.
Vittorio Emanuele III still knows the historical origins of the Ossa War. With this thorn in place, anything they do in Lombardy will be magnified.
Perhaps Franz, who is far away in Vienna, can laugh it off, but the Lombard royal family who is close at hand will definitely make them unable to eat and walk around.
There is no way, the Wittelsbach dynasty is an outsider, and it has secured the throne with the support of the Vienna government, and its local roots are not deep.
In particular, two successive generations of kings suffered from mental illness, and the first king also came to the throne in the face of infamy, so the popularity of the royal family among the people can be imagined.
In this context, the Wittelsbach dynasty was inevitably a little too vigilant, and was particularly sensitive to any wind and spring.
It is impossible for Vittorio Emanuele III to develop his team here. Even some normal activities will be restricted.
But there is no way, now here is the front line. As an aspiring king, Vittorio Emanuele III had to be on the front lines.
Otherwise, how can the Sardinian people feel his greatness?
What if the Austrian army conquered Turin one day, and he, the king, did not arrive at the first time, and he was taken first?
This year, there are not one or two who are eligible to inherit the Sardinian throne. There are also big nobles in Austria who are eyeing this crown.
Although Vittorio Emanuele III is considered to be the orthodox of the Kingdom of Sardinia, his king has not yet officially ascended the throne, and legally he is only the heir.
If there is a shameless guy with the right of inheritance, who takes the lead in ascending the throne, resulting in an established fact, it is unknown who the Vienna government will support.
Even if there are no such bad things, the most popular thing this year is "the bandits are like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate".
Vittorio Emanuele III did not go to the front to watch in advance, and when things happened, the kingdom of Sardinia became a blank slate.
At that time, the Austrian army patted the buttocks and left, and he was responsible for cleaning up the mess left behind.
It is impossible to test the traditional friendship of Ossa, and expect the Austrian army to see the traditional friendship between the two countries and have no offense to the Kingdom of Sardinia, right?
Whether it is useful or not, Vittorio Emanuele III must stand up to stop it at a critical moment, otherwise why would the Sardinian people accept him as a king.
You know, Vittorio Emanuele II left him no legacy, only the notoriety of a fool and a megalomaniac.
Whether internationally or in the minds of many Sardinians, Vittorio Emanuele II was the chief culprit of Sardinia's demise.
The Osa War is considered the biggest decision-making failure of the Sardinian government, which not only killed itself, but also affected other countries in the Italian region.
...
The actions of Vittorio Emanuele III and his party did not deceive the eyes and ears of Admiral Morquez.
Now is the age of war, and the front line is the largest of the military. As the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Southern Front Corps, the intelligence department naturally had to provide information to Admiral Morkes.
Putting down the document in his hand, Admiral Morquez looked out the window: "As long as the Sardinians don't do anything particularly excessive, let them go.
In the next battle, we still need their cooperation to make the relationship stiff, and everyone's face is not good. "
Since ancient times, true feelings cannot be retained, only routines are eternal.
The Sardinians are still useful now, and Admiral Morquez doesn't mind saving face for Vittorio Emanuele III.
It is not 1847, and Italian nationalism has long since lost its market in Lombardy.
In the minds of the younger generation, Italy is just a regional place name that belongs to the French. As for the Lombard Kingdom, it is naturally a part of the German region.
If you don't believe me, you can check historical data. The Lombards originated in Germany. Divided according to cultural traditions, Lombardy must belong to the German region, and it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire hundreds of years ago.
It all started with the annexation of Italy by France, and the end was already doomed.
The biggest advantage of human beings is that they can reflect, and their biggest disadvantage is also the ability to reflect. If they think too much, they will inevitably be deceived by what they see with their eyes.
After the fall of the Italian region, people of insight in the Italian region began to reflect. Under the guidance of people with a heart, they quickly found the reasons for the decline of Italian states-the rigid system and too conservative ideology and culture.
In this context, a skeptical and critical movement against traditional cultural traditions broke out in the Italian region.
After the ideological shock was over, the Italian ideological circle also split, and three major systems of Austrian, British, and French schools were formed, each of which advocated imitating the three countries to build a powerful Italian kingdom.
Everyone is worried about the country and the people, but they are not very patient. If you don't know how to study, let's just learn together.
This change in thinking and cognition had a huge impact on the Italians in Lombardy and Venezia.
The intellectuals who were originally inclined to establish the Kingdom of Italy were completely hopeless about the traditional Italian culture. How could they abandon the advanced ideas and return to study the backward ones?
After the ideological revolution broke out in Italy in 1873, the Italians in Lombardy no longer resisted Austrianization, and the pace of national integration suddenly accelerated.
Today, there is not much difference between Lombardy and Austria in terms of cultural customs, and now the biggest difference between the two places is the eating habits.
...
The sound of artillery fire continues, and the strength of the world's largest industrial country has been fully revealed at this time. The cannonballs rushed towards the French positions like a tide as if they didn't want money.
A shell exploded on the ground, shrapnel splashed with dust, and with a scream, the French army added three more wounded.
Colonel Novick, who was lucky enough to escape, patted the dust in his mouth very experienced, and immediately cursed: "Damn! Where are our artillerymen, why don't we launch a counterattack?"
This is not the first time this has happened. In just three days, Colonel Novick's headquarters has been visited by artillery shells many times.
In the headquarters alone, 3 people were killed and 7 people were wounded, including 3 officers.
You must know that this is the regiment headquarters, and simple anti-artillery fortifications have been built, which greatly weakens the lethality of the artillery shells.
The deputy on the side replied helplessly: "Colonel, our artillery is also firing back, but it was suppressed by the enemy."
Frankly speaking, the difference in the quality of artillery between France and Austria is not large, and the French army was suppressed by firepower entirely because the Austrian army was better prepared.
The French army assembled more than 1,300 artillery pieces on the southern front. The number of Austrian artillery pieces on the opposite side was almost three times that number, and a large part of them were rapid-firing artillery pieces. The firepower of both sides was suddenly pulled away.
As soon as the artillery battle began, the French were stunned. The firepower of both sides was not at the same level at all, and all battlefields were suppressed.
The lack of artillery can not be solved in a short time. Although France's industry is not weak, but who has nothing to do with a lot of artillery at home?
To know that this war can also be said to be sudden, the war broke out far earlier than the French government's plan.
To be able to deploy more than 1,300 artillery pieces on the southern front in just a few months is enough to prove the strength of France.
After all, Central Europe is the main battlefield. The French have to focus most of their attention on Central Europe, and artillery must also give priority to the Central European battlefield.
Colonel Novick shook his head: "Is this a counterattack? If you don't distinguish carefully, you won't hear our gunshots at all.
Power up the headquarters and request fire support.
immediately!
If we go on like this, our troops will collapse first before the enemy can attack. "
No one can stand the battle of being beaten and not fighting back. After days of bombing, the French soldiers on the frontline have long lost their arrogance in the past.
In fact, the regiment of Colonel Novick is quite good. Most of the soldiers are from the French mainland, and the will to fight is still excellent.
During the bombing, the downsizing has exceeded 10%, and the troops have not collapsed. They can be called elites.
If it were placed in the new army with a large number of Italian soldiers, it is estimated that the mutiny would have occurred by this time.
...
Colonel Novick's roar still failed to change the embarrassment of the French army. As the French army's Jade
Lean is also struggling with this issue.
No way, who made France not fully prepared?
From the start of the war to the present, the number of French troops has almost swelled tenfold. To be able to ensure that every man has a gun, that is, the Paris officials have worked hard enough.
Abandoning Colonel Novick's telegram for help, Marshal Adrian stared at the map and began to seriously think about how to counterattack.
