Charlie Albert waved his hand and said, “Just teach them to use guns, it’s all too late to care about that much.

The focus now is to boost morale and inspire their patriotism, if training is not enough, use courage to make up for it.

As long as we dare to fight, even if we trade three soldiers or five soldiers for one enemy soldier, we can equally stall the Austrians and create favorable conditions for negotiations!”

Combat power god horse he has long been disillusioned, Sardinia Kingdom’s regular army was hung, now the temporary formation of the cannon fodder troops, but also can not go against the sky?

Quality can not then use the number to come together, local combat they have plenty of people.

After a long period of government propaganda, the ordinary people have remembered the hardship of life in Austria, and now they have a mass base.

Minister of War Li Qi said apprehensively, “Your Majesty, our weaponry is severely lacking, many soldiers are sharing a gun between two or three people, this is still the result of us encouraging soldiers to bring their own weapons.”

Having lost the battle naturally speaks with no backbone, if it wasn’t for Marshal Badorio killing himself at the last moment and resisting all the responsibility, the sky might have changed within the Sardinian Kingdom by now.

Even so, the pressure of the government was also increased greatly. It can be said that the Austrian army’s presence in the city at this time saved the Sardinian government to a certain extent.

Political skillful King Charles Albert, took advantage of the opportunity to shift the domestic conflicts, under the banner of defending the country, put all the unstable elements into the army, and placed in the front line of the war with Austria.

If the Austrian army can help him get rid of all these people, it is estimated that Charles Albert would not mind giving them a big medal.

Of course, this was impossible, Charlie Albert would not be grateful to the Austrians. Unless after taking out these people, the Austrian army would just go home.

Unfortunately, this is the weakest time of Sardinia, if we don’t bite a piece of meat, how can Austria still be ashamed to call itself a great power?

“Mobilize the people of the country for fundraising, I personally take the lead, all the collection of firearms are donated, how much can make up how much, not enough will be equipped with some cold weapons first to make do with.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is communicating with Britain and France, it won’t be long before we can get enough weaponry.” Charlie Albert said thoughtfully

Li Qi’s heart is collapsing, he really wants to greet the king Charlie Albert how he thinks, what kind of goods is your collection, don’t you have a little bit of force in your own heart?

The guns that can be used in the country have long been requisitioned, and now the royal family’s collection is basically antique guns, and the oldest one is still a 14th century fire rope gun.

These weapons can be used for decoration, but if they are used on the battlefield, it is murder.

Sardinia Kingdom as one of the origins of the Renaissance, the nobles here are in pursuit of historical and cultural heritage, and naturally, the older the weapon collection is, the better the historical story is.

During this mobilization, all of the noble children of Sardinia Kingdom’s youth of the right age, entered the army to serve, and the weapons that could be used they had brought out long ago.

This is even if, even the oldest weapons, as long as they can fire the bullets out, they are all able to kill people, the big deal is that they are disposable.

The most tragic thing is to take cold weapons to fill up, this is probably to prepare for a physical fight with the Austrian army, in the face of the unreliable boss, Li Qi finally chose – “Your Majesty is wise.”

This Prime Minister Azeglio couldn’t help but open his mouth and say, “Your Majesty, the French have rejected our request to buy weapons, and they even followed the example of the Swiss next door who strictly investigated smuggling and banned the flow of weapons and ammunition into our country.”

The Franco-Austrian secret pact is no longer a secret, except that for the Sardinian Kingdom, one Austria is killing them, and if another France comes along, they don’t even have the courage to resist.

The entire Sardinian government chose to play dumb, attempting to rely on the internal contradictions of the French government to get out of this crisis.

But now they can’t pretend anymore, the neutral country Switzerland has embargoed their weapons, that’s normal operation. Now that the French are playing the same game, it’s just blatant malice.

Don’t forget, before the outbreak of this war, the French government encouraged them to send troops, and also promised a bunch of weapons assistance. Now, not to mention assistance, even normal trade can not be carried out smoothly.

There’s no way, even if they promise benefits to the French any more, they can’t do it as dry as Franz did.

Austria could have ceded half of Sardinia to the French, that would have been generous at the expense of others, and the Sardinian government would never have been able to make that decision.

In the face of benefits, politicians’ promises are similar to farts.

The French had long had ambitions for Italy, and because of the hold of the Habsburgs, they had tried in vain for centuries.

Now the opportunity came to their doorsteps. The politicians needed the political prestige that would come from expanding their territories, the capitalists needed to gain access to a larger market, and the aristocratic officers needed to gain military success.

So many people have interests in, naturally, not the diplomatic efforts of the Kingdom of Sardinia can be blocked, if it is not an internal struggle for dominance, this time the French army are killed over.

“Bang”!

Charles Albert slammed the table fiercely and said angrily, “Damn Frenchmen, they should all go to hell. I should have known that we shouldn’t have let them off so easily in the war against France!”

The crowd chose not to hear the king’s rant. What was the situation of the Kingdom of Sardinia in the war against France, did it even need to be said?

“Your Majesty, the British have promised to mediate this war, and by this time the British Foreign Minister, Mr. Palmerston, has already departed from London and is on his way to Vienna.” Prime Minister Azeglio hurriedly spoke out the good news

……

When the life of the Kingdom of Sardinia was hanging in the balance, the internationalist Parisian people launched the June Uprising and saved the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The June Revolution in Paris was very legendary, and once the French bourgeois government succeeded in seizing power, it managed to hook up with Austria and Russia.

The Prussian liberals sent a note to France inviting the French government to join them in supporting the Polish independence movement, which was naturally rejected by the French government.

After the news came, in solidarity with the Polish revolution, 150,000 Parisian workers took to the streets on the morning of June 15, 1848, and occupied the Parliament building, demanding the French government to form an expeditionary force to support the Polish independence movement.

Undoubtedly, such internationalism was rejected by the French government, and the conflict between the two sides began to intensify, and on June 23 the revolution broke out again in Paris.

France was internally destabilized, and in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, the Paris government had to cancel its plan to send troops to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
