"Garibaldi of Sicily established the Italian National Republic, and how did the Kingdom of Italy react to Sardinia?" Lin Haoda frowned and asked.

After the fall of the Italian peninsula, the largest territory of the Kingdom of Italy is now Sicily and Sardinia, and as for the other small islands in the ocean, the area is too small for human habitation, and there is no potential for development.

Sicily and Sardinia are large islands in the Mediterranean, and the history of human existence and reproduction on them is not much shorter than that of the ancient countries on the European continent.

However, Sicily is the territory of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies annexed by the Kingdom of Italy when it was founded, and the former Sardinian royal family and the current Italian royal family have a very mediocre influence on the people and upper social classes of Sicily, after all, the unity of the Kingdom of Italy has not been long, and the dominance of Sicily is naturally not good, and Sicily has always been in a state of semi-autonomy.

Sardinia was the original homeland of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Italian royal family had deep roots in Sardinia, and the British could easily support Garibaldi, the Italian national hero (chosen by the tallest of the short), to control Sicily and establish a separate government, but it was difficult for Sardinia to identify with it.

To put it simply, in the mainstream countries of continental Europe at this time, nationalist ideas and loyalty to the royal family did not conflict, which was mainly due to the close alliance between the rich bourgeoisie and the feudal aristocratic royal family.

There is still an essential difference between nationalism and the 'red doctrine' of later generations.

Therefore, the people of Sardinia were quite supportive of the Sardinian royal family, which had ruled for a long time.

If Garibaldi had taken control of Sicily and declared his allegiance to the Italian royal family, which had suffered heavy losses, he might have been able to maintain the hard-won unification of the Italian kingdom.

However, I don't know if Garibaldi was suddenly ambitious and naturally rebellious, or the British made trouble from it, Garibaldi actually relied on the support of the British fleet in Sicily to establish the Italian National Republic!

The reason why it is called the Italian National Republic, rather than the Sicilian National Republic, is clearly an expression to the whole of Europe about the determination to counterattack the Italian peninsula and regain lost territory.

So, how should the Sardinian royal family, which ruled the Kingdom of Italy, behave themselves?

You must know that after the defeat of the Italian royal family in the battle with the Han army, the royal family members and henchmen who escaped fled to Sardinia, and Garibaldi's move was equivalent to cutting the Italian kingdom, which was already on the verge of extinction, into two halves......

Of course, both Garibaldi-controlled Sicily and Sardinia, controlled by the Sardinian crown, have lost most of their voices in the mainstream of continental Europe.

Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of people in Sicily and Sardinia, clamoring for a counterattack on the mainland of the Italian peninsula to regain lost territory, but whether it is Sicily or Sardinia, there are not many regular armies, and even the lack of weapons and ammunition is outrageous!

Therefore, the counteroffensive is just a slogan, and if the anti-Han alliance achieves an absolute victory, the Italian nation will naturally be able to counterattack with honor, and if the anti-Han alliance is defeated by Lin Haoda, the Italian nation will probably be removed from history......

Of course, once the Italian nation is removed, it will never feel lonely and lonely, and there will be a large number of white European nationalities who will be erased by Lin Haoda along with the Italian nation, from spirit to body, completely erased!

This is where the system of total war is hegemonic, it does not need the will of the people, it only needs to conquer and expand!

"The Italian royal family remained silent, neither supporting Garibaldi's establishment of the Italian National Republic in Sicily, nor denying criticism of Garibaldi's 'mutiny'." Qin Xue'er replied respectfully, not daring to show the slightest flattery, because today is a few days every month, and she doesn't want to provoke Lin Haoda's desires, otherwise, some places will suffer......

"Hehe, it seems that the performance of the Italian royal family in the Peninsular War disappointed the European powers of the anti-Han alliance, and they didn't even have the heart to support it a little, and Garibaldi was chosen by the British, which should be related to the momentum caused by the Sicilian guerrillas he established on the Sicilian Peninsula.

Although the combat effectiveness of those Sicilian guerrillas is not good, but the number is too many, involving a lot of mobilized troops, our current main infantry force is almost all placed in the Sicilian Peninsula to clear the guerrillas, the Italian Peninsula is really a place where the climate is suitable and easy to raise people, a large population is sometimes not a good thing......"

Lin Haoda's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he was thinking about how to solve the problem of the Sicilian guerrillas once and for all in his mind, although the massacre is the easiest and most trouble-free way to deal with it, but the key is that Lin Haoda also intends to use the human resources of the Italian Peninsula to form a security puppet army to make up for his lack of troops, so this butcher's knife cannot be cut down without a head, and a series of screening measures must be taken.

"Yes, master, although the Sicilian guerrillas did not have any great successes, they eventually involved a lot of our troops, which in the eyes of the anti-Han allies was the fundamental reason for our army's inability to continue its external expansion, and the British were naturally more willing to support General Garibaldi, who established the Sicilian guerrillas, to become the voice of the Italian nation.

The reason why the Sardinian royal family remained silent in the face of Garibaldi's blatant rebellion against the royal family is probably also related to the warning of the anti-Han allies, the current Sardinian royal family no longer has much capital and army, in the eyes of the anti-Han alliance, the Sardinian royal family is no different from an ant, they want to keep the family inheritance, they can only swallow their anger and be passively silent, at least, the anti-Han alliance did not ask Sardinia to owe allegiance to Garibaldi. ”

"Well, in any case, the anti-Han alliance is still a good thing for us, whether it is Garibaldi or the royal family of Sardinia, there is no longer any threat to us, and then the focus of our work will be shifted from siege to internal affairs and puppet army building, the church of Pius IX has our support, and even I myself have been proclaimed as an apostle of God, and it is time for the church to fulfill their promises.

Presumably, this period of time was enough for the missionaries of the Church to regain control of the faith of most of the rural civilians in the Italian peninsula, and the atmosphere of religious belief among the Italians was still relatively strong.

Next, we will settle the place through the church, and gather the 'Italian traitors' who have taken the initiative to join us to form the first batch of Italian puppet army, I request, within a month to see the first results! Lin Haoda ordered categorically.
