Idiot! Don't you know how to deal with rats? ”

Looking at his subordinates who were still confused, Marshal Adrien explained helplessly: "Use cats to catch mice, can't you even think of such a simple question?"

If the enemy does not come forward, he will find a way to lure them out. Find a few local snakes and let them catch the disruptive party.

Coercion and temptation are all used for me, not everyone is hard-boned, as long as you catch one, you can bring out a litter. ”

Coercion and inducement are not a new method, they have been used by France at the beginning of its annexation of Italy, and the effect is quite good.

It's just that things have gradually changed over time. After domestication, the cat's life is too comfortable, and even the ability to catch mice has deteriorated.

The middle-aged officer was puzzled: "But marshal, we have no right to meddle in local affairs, and I am afraid that interfering will cause dissatisfaction among the local government." ”

If a country wants to be stable, the separation of military and political affairs is an indispensable link. There is no doubt that France is a country where the military and the government are separated.

The military can arrest members of Italian independence organizations who sabotage logistics and transportation, but it is politically taboo to co-opt powerful factions at the local level.

After a moment's hesitation, Adrien nodded. In his current position, Adrien is not a political novice.

There are many inconspicuous unspoken rules in officialdom that cannot be violated, even if he is a high-ranking French marshal, he cannot be an exception.

"Send a telegram to the cabinet explaining the situation, and ask them to find a way to coordinate with the local government and cooperate with us to eradicate the Italian rebels who collude with Austria."

The-urine nature of the French bureaucracy, Adrien is clear. Those who can hold high positions are the ones who pursue the principle that "more is better than less".

If the central government does not intervene and the military directly intervenes with the local government, the final result will be a no-brainer.

No matter how important the overall situation is, it is not as important as the hat on everyone's head. As long as no major incident occurs, the local government will never admit that there is a disorderly party in its jurisdiction.

London

The outbreak of war in Europe should have been great news for the Italian revolutionary organization, but Vittorio Emanuele III was not happy now.

Since the outbreak of the war, the police force arranged by the British around the area has increased significantly, and even people have been tracked and protected 24 hours a day when traveling.

There is no doubt that Vittorio Emanuele III, who was a pawn in Britain to intervene in Italy, was placed under house arrest.

Although there are no restrictions on personal freedom, it is limited to activities in the British Isles, and it is impossible to go abroad.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and the British took in the Italian independence organization, and they contributed money and effort, so it was natural for them to play a role.

In this regard, Vittorio Emanuele III still has a lot to think about. It's nothing more than a matter of interests, as long as you can support his recovery, the rest of the things are negotiable.

"Finn, how is the communication with the British, are they willing to support our restoration now?"

The foreign policy of the British was fickle, and support for the Italian independence organization changed frequently.

Whenever Anglo-French relations were at their worst, the Independent Organization was able to receive large sums of money, and it was the most difficult time for the Independent Organization anyway.

It stands to reason that now that Britain and France are allies, the days of the Italian Independence Organization should be sad.

However, there are exceptions, and the London government is now counting on a lose-lose situation for both France and Austria. Until the situation is clear, the British will not let Vittorio Emanuele III go.

After all, his political value is high, and if the French win the war, the Italian Independence Organization is a sharp weapon to counterbalance the French.

If Austria had won the war, they could have supported the Italian Independence Organization to unify the Italian regions and cause problems for Austria.

Whatever the future holds, the British could not let Vittorio Emanuele III out of control.

"Your Majesty, the British, citing the uncertainty of the situation, rejected our proposal."

From the desperate look on Fian's face, it was clear that the situation was even more serious than he said.

The Italian Independence Organization now had Austrian support, and if the British simply did not support it, it would not make Fien despair.

After sighing, Vittorio Emanuele III said helplessly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. There have been so many guards outside lately, and it's obvious that they're watching us.

It seems that Britain is going to support the French this time, fearing that we will now go back and join forces with the Austrians and let the French lose the war. ”

Vittorio Emanuele III now regrets nothing but regret. Prior to this, the Austrian minister had repeatedly invited him to Milan to direct the Italian independence movement at close range.

In order not to become a puppet of the Austrians, Vittorio Emanuele III decisively chose to refuse.

How can I hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. escaped the risk of becoming a puppet of the Austrians, but ushered in the darker British.

When the Austrian puppet was only temporary, Vittorio Emanuele III still had a chance to restore the country after the war, which was barely a bargain.

It would be a different matter to stay in London and watch the situation unfold, not only would it not be able to lead the independence movement in Italy, but even the opportunity for restoration would be buried.

Even if the French were defeated and the Italian region regained its independence, it had nothing to do with Vittorio Emanuele III.

The Viennese government could not have been so kind as to hand over the results of its fortunate victory, and Vittorio Emanuele III was not the only one in the Kingdom of Sardinia who was entitled to inherit the throne.

Prime Minister Leonid said categorically: "In any case, we must leave London as soon as possible and go back to presiding over the independence movement."

The more the British did not want us to return home, the more it showed that the French were at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and they feared that our return would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now is the closest time we are to recovering the country, and if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to restore the country in the future. ”

The European Continental Balance Policy is a trick of the British, and it has nothing to do with everyone, even if it is to be considered, it is a matter after the successful restoration of the country.

As long as he can restore the country, Prime Minister Leonid doesn't care who is the boss. Anyway, no matter who became the hegemon of Britain, France, Russia and Austria, it was impossible for the Kingdom of Sardinia to become the hegemon.

Vittorio Emanuele III nodded: "The Prime Minister is right, we have to find a way to leave, and this opportunity must not be missed."

It's just that the British are staring at us to death, and we can't leave the British Isles at all, even if it's smuggling. ”

In order to restore the country, everyone present was a social activist, and often went in and out of various banquets.

The British policemen on duty outside could probably clearly call each of them by name, and it was simply unrealistic to want to leave.

As if thinking of something, Foreign Secretary Fion had a smile on his face, and then quickly disappeared again.

After much hesitation, he spoke: "Everyone leaves together, and it is certainly impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of the British."

If it's just a matter of sending one or two people away, there's still hope, but it's just taking some risks.

If the British see through it, they may even ......"

Before Fien could finish speaking, Vittorio Emanuele III interrupted: "You need to take risks in everything you do, and the restoration movement we are going on is the riskiest in itself.

Say your plan, Fian. As long as Italy can be revived, I am willing to take any risk. ”

It was not that Vittorio Emanuele III had a fearless spirit, but that under the European political system, there was little need to worry about safety as kings, and their personal safety was protected by all countries.

Except for the revolutionary party in the second middle school, no normal person would kill the king. Even if Vittorio Emanuele III had done something that disgusted the British, the London government would not have been able to snap him.

Even in the hands of the French, Vittorio Emanuele III was confident that he would be safe, and that he would even be courteous.

Anyway, there was no danger to his life, and Vittorio Emanuele III naturally didn't mind being brave in front of his supporters.

Finn nodded: "My plan is for His Majesty to pretend to be sick first and reduce contact with the outside world."

The British will certainly send someone to check on them in the short term, but they will not be able to keep watch 24 hours a day, and this vigilance will not last.

After waiting for a while, the British let their guard down, the frequency of inspections decreased, and the opportunity came.

His Majesty's personal physician is our man. Arrange for a person who is similar to His Majesty's size to enter the manor and replace His Majesty's identity with His Majesty under the guise of Dr. Jack's assistant.

There are many people who have seen His Majesty, but the people who have been in close contact with His Majesty are all big shots, and the guys outside are just looking at it from a distance, and they should not be very familiar with His Majesty's facial expressions.

In the evening, we left with Dr. Jack, and under the cover of night, we put on some makeup for His Majesty, and the chances of hiding from the guards were very high.

The evening is the rest time, and even if someone comes to visit, we can use His Majesty's physical discomfort to prevaricate.

We can first contact the Austrians and arrange for a ship to meet them in advance, and your Majesty will leave London by boat overnight after leaving the manor.

Even if it was discovered by the British the next day, the ship left the port. For a while, the British could not determine the direction of the ship, and even if they wanted to send the navy to intercept it, they did not know how to pursue it.

To be on the safe side, we could also have the Austrians arrange a few more boats to sail in different directions at the same time, distracting the British. ”

The typical Li Dai Tao stiff, with little technical content, is Vittorio Emanuele III's best choice to get out of the cage right now.

As for whether the British will be annoyed afterwards, it doesn't matter anymore. No matter how angry the British government is, it is impossible to wipe off those who remain.

The government in exile in Britain these years is not one or two, and if it goes too far, the other government-in-exile will die sadly.

Without these organizations, the British would have been in a passive situation internationally, and it would not have been so easy to get things done.

In essence, Britain took in these governments, in addition to getting an opportunity to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, more for the purpose of making political deals in secret.

To put it simply, if you are pro-British and everyone has a good time, then nothing will happen; If one day you turn against the British, then they support the government-in-exile to restore you.

It may not be enough, but the bad is definitely more than enough. Especially for small countries, because they could not withstand this kind of toss, they had to make political and diplomatic concessions to the British.

Vittorio Emanuele III said fiercely: "I decided to gamble! For the sake of great Italy, the next thing is to get rid of everyone. ”

The risk is controllable, and even if it fails, the situation will not be worse than it is now, and everyone naturally has no reason to oppose it.

……

In times of crisis, the efficiency of the independent organization was still very high, and Vittorio Emanuele III fell ill on the same day.

In order to disgust the British, the Independence Organization also secretly released the news that Vittorio Emanuele III was sick by the British.

In these years, medical technology is not developed, and getting sick is very fatal, and the slightest problem can kill people.

The king's illness was no small few, and even though Vittorio Emanuele III was an exiled king, he was valued by the British government because of the European War.

Famous doctors in London went in and out of Vittorio Emanuele III's estate one after another, but they could not find the cause.

Even in the newspapers, there was news that Vittorio Emanuele III had spent a lot of money seeking medical treatment, as if his life was imminent.

In the Downing Street Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Gladstone, who had just finished a busy day, stumbled upon a newspaper on his desk, which happened to carry the news of Vittorio Emanuele III's serious illness.

Soon Prime Minister Gladstone's brow furrowed, and at a time like this, the Italian Independence Organization had become a bargaining chip for Britain to intervene in the European War, and Vittorio Emanuele III was at the heart of that bargaining chip.

Although the weight of the chip was not very large, the number of chips available to Britain was now running out, and the importance of the Italian independence organization became apparent.

If Vittorio Emanuele III had died, the already fragmented Italian Independence would have been completely nullified.

For Britain, this was undoubtedly a very bad outcome. According to the plan, Prime Minister Gladstone also wants to rewrite the political landscape in Europe after France and Austria are both defeated.

The ideal outcome would naturally be to split France and Austria at the same time. South Germany was separated from Austria and merged with North Germany to create a small German empire.

Let the Italian region become independent from French rule, and add Lombardy and Vinicia to form an Italian kingdom.

The importance of the Italian Independent Organization is self-evident. Although it does not have the strength, the political appeal is ......
