Chapter 84: Selling Teammates

In the middle of the night, there was a wailing in the Sardinian barracks.

Lying about military intelligence is a matter of military law, and since it is said that there are heavy losses, there must be losses.

Non-poisonous and not a husband, and Ci is not in charge of the army, if he can climb to this position, Major General Will will naturally not be a soft-hearted person.

In order to give an explanation to the above, Major General Will had to intensify his offensive in the afternoon.

The veterans of the Kingdom of Sardinia were still very valiant, and their sense of belonging to the country was much stronger than that of the Lombards, and the afternoon battles were much more tragic.

Counting the casualties, Major General Will waved his hand and added all the battle losses to the morning battle, more than 300 dead and more than 800 wounded, which can barely be regarded as heavy casualties.

The high-ranking officers of the Second Division, led by Major General Weir, can explain the past, but the morale of the army has also been reduced to the extreme.

Without contrast, there is no harm. The Italians are good at learning, especially the old fritters in the army, and they quickly learn the advanced experience of their peers.

Don't try to keep it a secret when there are too many people, and the "Battlefield Survival Handbook" has spread among the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia at a rapid pace.

Perhaps because the atmosphere of commercialization was too strong, these soldiers quickly accepted this set of battlefield survival manuals with pleasure.

Together with Franz's bizarre theory, it is also widely recognized. I don't know when it began, but a voice appeared in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia - don't die for the capitalists.

Italy has been divided for so long that the common people have forgotten that they are Italians and replaced them with Sardians, Genoese, Lombards......

What's in it for them about unification? It seems that the capitalists who profit the most are the capitalists, and the unified Italy allows them to have a larger market for exploitation, while they, the bloody and sacrificed soldiers who fought for reunification, get nothing!

The nationalism of the Kingdom of Sardinia awakened, and the same chaotic ideas were born, and the Italians were good thinkers, and when they thought too much, they began to plan for themselves.

Before they knew it, the armies of the Kingdom of Sardinia had undergone a metamorphosis, and the valiant warriors had begun to move away from them.

This is also an Italian tradition, commonly known as the "three-minute heat", once they see the bloodshed and sacrifice, it extinguishes their passion, and the "Battlefield Survival Handbook" only gives them a reason to convince themselves.

……

The general command of the Venetian Sardinian army, Marshal Bardogrio did not yet know that his army was undergoing a magnificent metamorphosis, and now he was suffering from a letter of help from the Tuscany.

He still appreciates the positive performance of the Tuscan army, and the war against Austria needs such activists as cannon fodder.

"Front-line battle report, the Tuscan army was attacked by the main Austrian force and asked us for help, what do you think should be done?"

A middle-aged officer frowned and said: "Your Excellency, the Tuscans are about thirty kilometers away from us, and if you count the time for the delivery of the letter, the battle should have taken place half a day ago.

If we send troops immediately, we will be able to reach the battlefield in a day at the earliest. Whether we can catch up or not, regardless of whether we can catch up, break our military deployment, and the battle behind will not be easy to fight! ”

Obviously, he was not ready to rescue the Tuscans.

Allies, aren't they just for betrayal?

Besides, when did the Kingdom of Sardinia become true allies with Tuscany?

As long as the Kingdom of Sardinia wants to unify the Italian region, and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany will have to fight each other sooner or later, isn't it an enemy to ask for help from them at this time?

"Jackson, that's not good! If we don't send troops to the rescue of the Tuscans, it will cause very serious diplomatic trouble, and the Papal States and Naples will feel the death of rabbits and foxes, and we will have to fight this war alone! Another middle-aged officer objected

"Cansandos, this war was supposed to be our home turf, and these allies are unreliable.

It is true that the Kingdom of Naples sent 40,000 troops, but where are these 40,000 troops? Is there a regiment of the vanguard they sent?

The Tuscans were indeed very positive, but we all understood that their commander was a self-righteous fool who had no military common sense.

Such pig teammates, what can they expect from other than to cause chaos?

There is also the division of the Papal States, in fact, everyone knows that there are only more than 7,000 people, and they are grinding and grinding along the way, where is the meaning of war? Jackson's middle-aged officer objected

……

Marshal Bardogio nodded, militarily he could not count on allies, Austria's influence in the Italian state was too great, even if they used public opinion to force countries to send troops, everyone still couldn't help.

Now that there is another change in Italy, and the restoration of the Papal States and the conservatives in Naples, these allies may withdraw at any time.

"You have a point, so send someone to tell the Tuscans to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and we'll send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

There is no doubt that Marshal Badolio is selling his teammates. Dispatch troops to rescue as soon as possible, when exactly?

If they really want to rescue the Tuscans, now is the time for them to send troops under the stars, instead of stalling here.

……

On the front line, the Tuscan commander, General Maherde, is no longer as high-spirited as he used to be, and is disgraced and disgraced to carry out a "strategic shift" with the soldiers.

The battle could not be fought, the Tuscan army was not very good in combat, and the enemy army on the opposite side was still twice as large as theirs, and after persisting in the battle for several hours, it was defeated.

Maherd led some of the remnants of the defeated army and turned around and ran away without looking back. If he loses the war, he loses, and there is no shame in losing to the Austrians, and he does not want to stay as a prisoner.

As a thorn in the king's side and a thorn in the flesh, if it fell into the hands of the Austrians, the two sides could not make a py deal, and he would be wiped out, and Mahld did not dare to test the king's discipline.

"General Maherd, Marshal Badolio told us to hold on and wait for reinforcements, they will send troops as soon as possible!" A young officer said in surprise

"After receiving a letter for help, did the Sardinian army send troops immediately?" Maheard asked with concern

"No, they had a military meeting for an hour, and then said that they would send troops as soon as possible, and they probably had already set off at this time, right?" The young officer said uncertainly

Maherd's face changed drastically, and he reacted casually, and ordered: "Order the troops to speed up, our allies are about to arrive, everyone go to the front and join them!" ”

Ally? There is also a fart ally, such a perfunctory reply can fool these secondary two teenagers, but it will not work for an old fritter like Maherd.

Soldiers are fast, saving people is like fighting fire, where is there a slow discussion?

Since there are no allies coming, of course we have to run faster.
