Chapter 49 Peacekeeping Forces

On November 26, 1858, negotiations began in earnest between France and Sahar over the assassination.

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 sent a note to the Kingdom of Sardinia as soon as the incident occurred.

As a result, the relationship between the Sardinian government and the evil organization is much deeper than we expected. Instead of apprehending the murderers, they offered them shelter, ignoring France's well-intentioned advice.

We are now here to declare that if the Sardinian government is unable to apprehend the perpetrators, we do not rule out the possibility of taking strong measures. ”

Auvergne is obviously not a simple person, he never mentions the matter of compensation, and he insists on arresting the murderer to win everyone's sympathy and support.

The threat of force only showed their hard-line attitude, and they never mentioned the matter of the reparations for the cession of land by the Kingdom of Sardinia, which was completely different from the previous private communication between the two countries.

Prime Minister Cavour has a headache, and his opponents are obviously professionals, and the positions of governments on the issue of punishing the murderers are basically the same.

Cavour replied stubbornly: "Your Excellency, the murderer has been caught, and everyone has found out his identity, and this matter has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Sardinia. ”

This had been agreed with the British in advance, and the Sardinian government could never admit any involvement in the assassination. Only by denying it to death can we have a chance to get through the current hurdle.

Auvergne sneered and said, "Enough, at this time, you still have to quibble, are you really a bully in France?"

These four murderers are all members of militant organizations in your country. The organization's goal is to annex the entire Italian region, and the funds for its activities are still supported by your government, you tell me it doesn't matter! ”

Looking at Auvergne's murderous gaze, Cavour knew that the French were really angry this time. At this time, he couldn't admit that it had anything to do with this matter.

Cavour explained: "Your Excellency, calm down. The four murderers had only once joined the charcoal burning party, but they had already been expelled for their misbehavior, and they had even emigrated.

Just because you were a member of the Charcoal Burning Party does not mean that the organization is considered evil. As far as I know, His Majesty Napoleon III also joined the organization, do you think that His Majesty is also an evil element? ”

Auvergne scoffed: "Nonsense, when did Your Majesty join this evil organization, he just heard that the organization is engaged in the slave trade and drug trafficking.

I went deep into it to investigate this organization, but unfortunately, the evidence that Your Majesty had worked so hard to collect was finally taken away by your government. ”

When it comes to playing scoundrels, who is afraid of whom? Engaging in the slave trade and drug trafficking are not Auvergne's nonsense.

The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are a few slave traders and drug dealers in the charcoal burning party, so what's so strange.

Others dare not lift the lid, but Auvergne is not afraid of offending people. No matter how powerful the capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia were, they were not capable of doing things in France.

At this time, the Austrian representative Martic also sneered: "Mr. Cavour, you seem to have something to say. It seems that your government is really going to do whatever it takes to provoke a war between France and Austria! ”

Cavour hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, this is a misunderstanding, and we have absolutely no intention of sowing discord between the two countries. ”

Although he also wanted to provoke a Franco-Austrian war, he could never say it. Do it in secret, as long as you don't find out, everything is easy to say, and once the thing is exposed, it's over.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Thomas could not save the game. I have already greeted Cavour's whole family in my heart, even if it is to provoke relations between the two countries, it cannot be so obvious.

This assassination is very obvious, no matter how much you throw the blame, you can't throw it on the Austrians, even if you change the topic, you can't stimulate the Austrians!

There is no one to bully among the powers, and the retaliation is definitely enough for the Sardinian government to drink.

"Okay, the matter has happened, and there is no need to talk about these inconsequential issues, let's talk about compensation directly!"

Auvergne sneered and said: "Mr. Thomas, it's better to open up the issue first, don't be in a hurry about compensation, we are here today to punish the murderer, not for compensation." ”

Martic cooperated: "We must not tolerate an evil organization that is committed to upsetting the balance in Europe and provoking war. ”

Thomas was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency, what does it mean to provoke 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 also happened to be members of the organization.

By the way, they also became French citizens. The aim was to provoke a conflict between France and Austria and break the Vienna system in order to realize the ambition of the Kingdom of Sardinia to annex Italy.

Of course, perhaps not just for the annexation of Italy, their slogan was to rebuild the Roman Empire. ”

Hearing this explanation, everyone's faces changed greatly, and the eyes of Cavour were different. I have seen those who do death, but I have never seen such a toss.

Thomas asked incredulously, "Lord Martic, is this all true?" ”

Martic took out a document and said: "Of course, this is information from China, everyone can look at it.

There are detailed investigation results above, and the identities of these people can be verified. This assassination and the assassination in Paris were planned by the same gang.

It was found that these people had been lurking in Vienna for more than half a year, and it was the Sardinian government that financed them. ”

Hearing the news, Cavour almost fainted. They were all brought to the table and said, obviously the evidence was conclusive. Even if it's not 100% real, it's a high imitation.

In particular, to accuse the Sardinian government of financing the assassination is simply a matter of human life. This charge was confirmed, and there was no need to say anything, and the kingdom of Sardinia was doomed.

At this time, Cavour regretted it very much. If he had known that there were such talents in the charcoal burning party, he would not have asked the government to provide them with financial support.

Although this organization is contributing to the unification of the Italian region, its ability to cause trouble is terrifying.

Assassinate the Franco-Austrian emperors, provoke a war between the two countries, and then unify the Italian regions. 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 don't dare to implement it. The slightest mistake can cost you your life.

Now it's good, and one on both sides has been caught. Cavour now understood why the Viennese government had suddenly changed its position, and that anyone who had encountered such a thing would take revenge.

If they receive the message in advance, they can also figure out how to solve it. Now he was caught off guard and was not given a chance to act at all.

After a cursory look at the funds, Thomas directly chose to shut up. At this time, it is necessary to be prepared to meet the wrath of France and Austria, and it is clear that the London government is not ready for this.

If France and Austria mistakenly believe that they were responsible for this assassination, that would be the real big trouble.

Now that the four major European powers are in a balanced overall balance of strength, no one country can defeat one against the other, so everyone must be cautious in diplomacy.

Even if the Russians win the war in the Near East, it will be Russia and Austria vs Britain and France, and if the Russians fight Britain and France alone, the final result will be the same as in history.

Ivanov, the Russian representative who had been making soy sauce, suddenly said: "In view of the current complicated situation, the Sardinian government has been implicated in the assassination, and it is no longer realistic to rely on them to arrest the murderers.

I propose that a joint investigation team be formed to temporarily take over the Kingdom of Sardinia and carry out a comprehensive inventory of this evil organization. ”

Thomas's eyes lit up, and it was a good idea. International condominium is also better than letting France and Austria divide up, and as for the investigation of the murderer, it is only incidental.

He is also very interested in this possible mastermind, this kind of bold Lord will not be caught, and Thomas is also worried that one day he will give them a visit.

Thomas echoed: "Marquis Ivanov is right, we can't relax on this evil organization, and if we don't wipe them out, peace in Europe will be threatened at any time." ”

The representatives of the countries present were all smart people, and they quickly discovered the benefits of the joint investigation team, and naturally responded one after another.

As for the attitude of the Sardinian government, it no longer mattered, and Cavour stopped talking. At this time, the joint investigation team was refused to be stationed, and it was time to meet the Franco-Austrian forces.

Although the Viennese government had no interest in the Kingdom of Sardinia, they did not know that they had missed the last chance to preserve their sovereignty.

France and Austria were the only ones left who had not expressed their position, and Martic took an indifferent attitude and left the opportunity to perform to Auvergne.

"It will be easy for the joint investigation team to enter the Kingdom of Sardinia, but given the role played by the Sardinian government in this incident, there is reason to believe that they will engage in sabotage, destruction of evidence, and even murder.

In order for the investigation to proceed smoothly, it was imperative to send troops into the Kingdom of Sardinia and cooperate with the investigation team.

As the largest victim, the French government was willing to send 80,000 troops into the Kingdom of Sardinia to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation. ”

When the poor picture dagger is seen, it is easy to ask God to send God. Once the French army entered the Kingdom of Sardinia, it was not so simple to get them to leave.

Martich said very face-savingly: "We have no opinion, if we do not eradicate this evil organization, peace on the European continent will always be threatened."

The Austrian government was 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, the other sent 3,000 troops, such a huge disparity, and the fool knows the attitude of France and Austria.

If it was to divide the Kingdom of Sardinia, Austria would not have been able to send such a small number of troops, which obviously meant that the Vienna government had no interest in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The eyes of the crowd surrendered to Auvergne, and the occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia by 80,000 French troops was almost enough, and no one believed it if it was not for the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

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 at all.

Besides, with so many of our countries here, how can you make your family take on all your obligations?

In this way, our government of England will send 5,000 troops to cooperate with the investigation team and ensure the stability of the Kingdom of Sardinia. ”

It's not that Thomas doesn't want to send more troops, it's that the London government can't come up with more troops right now. Even if you can take it, it's useless, and it costs money to send troops.

The French are in order to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, and no matter how many troops they send out, there will be a time when they will recover their costs in the future, so they are really volunteering this time, fulfilling their international responsibilities, and balancing the French by the way.

Then it was lively, and all countries responded to you one hundred and two hundred, and the countries together also made up a thousand peacekeeping troops.

It fully demonstrates what is called the spirit of internationalism, and as for the question of balancing France, everyone is very face-saving and leaves the opportunity for the British to perform.

The scalp of the target was numb, and Auvergne made a concession and directly reduced the number of troops by 30,000, but the final result was no different.

Coupled with the 1,000 men promised by the Russians at the end, the combined forces of various countries barely managed to make up 10,000, and it was simply impossible to balance the French.

Everyone refused to help, and Thomas couldn't do anything.

This time the troops were completely brought into battle, and apart from gaining international reputation and a wave of presence, it was not profitable at all.

If military checks and balances can't be done, then it depends on political and diplomatic checks and balances, and Thomas immediately made a decision - to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
