Chapter 137 Admiral

The Japanese Restoration attracted the attention of Europe for a short time, and soon, the dark clouds of the Piedmontese War, the main body of Sardinia, became the focus of Europe, and the mobilization for war was very nerve-wracking and economic, and Austria first lost patience and issued a three-day ultimatum to Sardinia, either Sardinian took the lead in disarming, or "you will fight if you want to."

After the three-day deadline, the Austrian army of 220,000 troops officially launched an attack on Piedmont, and then the Franco-Sardinian treaty came into force, and 170,000 French troops swarmed into Piedmont to form a coalition of about 240,000 men with Sardinia, and the war broke out on May 20.

The weather in Piedmont in May was harsh, the countryside was flooded, and the Austrian army's first-mover advantage did not benefit them, and after twenty miles into Turin they had to retreat, re-crossing the Ticino and holding their ground. This is the reason why Tang Ning is very taboo about land warfare, if he changes his mechanized troops, they will still be restricted in the face of bad weather, and they may be stricter than infantry. It's better to honestly do his promising healing output career.

As the conditions for a decisive battle between the two sides were brought into effect, a full-scale battle began, mainly in the positions of Majanta and Sofelino. The encounter between the French and Austrians at Sofolino was a complete accident, and after a day of fierce fighting, the French broke through, causing the Austrian Eighth Army to separate from the main force, setting the tone for the victory of the Franco-Saxian forces. In this war, the French side had 312 guns, the Sardinia had 90 guns, and the Austrians had 824 guns, but the losing side was Austria with more artillery.

The Austrian Eighth Army retreated to Pozolengo and successfully held its position, but the main force of the Austrian army had fully retreated to the quadrangular fortress, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was not breached during the European Revolution in 48.

As the Austrian army showed signs of decline, Austria's vassal monarchs in Italy fled, the Grand Duke of Tuscany had left, and both the Duchess of Bama and the Duchess of Modena had retreated to safety. Cavour immediately sent the Administrator to take possession of these places, which had long been ruled by the Austrians.

France won the war, this does not mean that Napoleon III was wise, his army was also a tragic victory, there was no such as the Crimean War during the Windsor military hospital treatment output, the tragedy happened again, the bad battlefield environment caused the wounded soldiers to die in batches, many dying soldiers asked their comrades to give themselves a good time, Piedmont was shrouded in a miserable storm, and the French army fighting away was particularly depressed. The 170,000 army is half of the French ** team, when Napoleon III was criticized by French public opinion that he should not participate in a war that has nothing to do with France, the third had to curse the Grand Duke of Luxembourg every day for not helping the French army to provide medical assistance, and what is even more terrible is that the Franco-Prussian border came from the Prussian army to gather bad news.

Prussia and Austria have long fought for the dominance of the unified German region, and the contradictions are very great, but there are also contradictions between Prussia and France, and France does not want to see the emergence of a unified and powerful German empire, so Prussia will not help Austria, but it is not happy to see France seize too much interests in the Ossa War, and the Prussians can't sit still when they see the French army win.

The important difference between the fake Napoleon the Great and the real one is courage, in the case of the real Emperor, the Prussian intervention would have been prepared long ago, either with reliable allies to help the fist, or with the confidence to resist the Prussians with a small number of troops, how could they rush to end the battle on this side? The false emperor was not only afraid of the Prussian invasion, but also did not have the face to meet the Italians, so he actually sent someone to the Austrian military camp with the armistice building.

After all, the Austrians were defeated, and the False Emperor handed over the Lombard Kingdom to France, and then France transferred it to Sardinia, and got back a Lombardy to Italy through the hands of France, maybe Italy would not be so angry, and France would take possession of Nice and other areas that originally belonged to Italy with peace of mind, and I will not fight the adjacent Venetia, and leave you to play by yourself.

Napoleon III thought that he could not refuse to build Austria, but unexpectedly, France was most afraid of what happened, and the ill-intentioned Grand Duke of Luxembourg really wanted to reach out, he gave Austria a better choice, Austria did not even have to hand over the Kingdom of Lombardy, as long as he was appointed as the governor of Lombardy and Venexia, he would help the Austrians to regain Lombardy from the French, on the surface Austria did not lose an inch, but appointed a "powerful" new governor.

What did Austria gain or lose after Downing became governor of the Italian provinces? In the first place, Lombardy, which had been lost, would have fewer benefits, and only a tiny fraction of the tax would be given to Austria, but a little better than nothing, and Austria's interests in Venesia would remain at the same level, and with Downing's economic push to Venice, Austria would profit only more, not less.

Before Napoleon III's envoy to the peace talks left, the Austrian Emperor Joseph I, brother-in-law of Downing, who married Princess Helen, the sister of Princess Sissi, announced the "invitation" of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg to be the governor of Lombardy and Venice, and awarded the title of General of the Austrian Army, responsible for the war on the Fasa front, and the Austrian emperor no longer had the confidence to fight.

Napoleon III and Cavour were overwhelmed when they heard this, and the situation was completely out of control!

The Windsor Military Hospital, which had already been prepared in Windsor Harbour, landed from Venice under the cover of the fleet of the Austrian Imperial Navy and went to the front line to treat the wounded, and the treatment output specialists began to operate again.

Bismarck sent a congratulatory telegram to the Grand Duke congratulating him on his ascension to the throne of the Viceroy, which was no longer just the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, but also the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, with the world-famous city of Milan and the floating capital of Venice. The entire nominally governor's area was almost as large as the territory of Sardinia.

Bismarck is now the minister to France, but the regent Prince Wilhelm is obedient to him, Bismarck is now the leader of Prussia's foreign policy, Downing's congratulations to him are heard and known, Downing's rule of these two regions is a blow to France and Austria, the balance of power in Prussia is the best choice, and the new Austrian imperial army general has found an international ally.

The Admiral was not a war maniac, although he did not intend to go to war because of the morale of the Austrian army that had been greatly boosted by his ascension, and asked Bismarck, on behalf of Prussia, to invite France and Sardinia to Geneva for peace talks.

Napoleon III was so afraid of fighting the Austrian army, which was supported by the Windsor military hospital, and it was another Prussian peace negotiation, and he feared a great force that could threaten his lair, and he had to agree. The boss agreed, and Cavour, knowing that his pace of unifying Italy had been frustrated, frustrated and reluctantly participated in the Geneva peace talks.

Downing's proposal for France, Sardinia, and Prussia was: I happen to have a factory in Geneva called Swiss Precision Instruments, and there are some very interesting equipment that can be controlled by mechanical computers.

Knowing that someone wants to show off their technology, no party can refuse this kind of ****, Napoleon III not only wants to go to Switzerland in person, even Empress Eugénie strongly asks to go. Prime Minister Cavour came from Sardinia, Bismarck came from Prussia, and the people and places for the four-party talks were decided. The eyes of the world are focused on this.

When Cavour rushed to the Swiss precision instrument factory arranged by the Swiss military with high security, he was surprised to see his "old friend" Mazzini, and the cunning prime minister couldn't help but beat his heart wildly, obviously something completely unexpected.

Cavour lost his voice and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Mazzini once launched an uprising in Milan, but was suppressed by Austria, and even Mazzini was once a policeman in Switzerland, and now he actually appeared here, in the factory of the "army general" of the Austrian Empire, how can it not be shocking? Mazzini is a die-hard republican, an idealist, and obviously did not get any help from the Cavour, a member of the Diligence King's party, although they all worked towards the same goal, they all wanted to make the troubled Italy ** and unification, Mazzini's appearance here represents his abandonment of the dream of Italy**?

"Mr. Mazzini knows the Apennine Peninsula better than I do, so I will ask Mr. Mazzini to help govern Lombardy and Venezia, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." The voice of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg came from behind the flanks, his tone lighter than a feather, but it struck the heart of the Prime Minister of Sardinian like an Alpine. The Archduke of Luxembourg's self-confidence and arrogance were unsettling, as if Lombardy had been trampled under his feet. And the existence of Mazzini, the famous ** sports politician and thinker, added a perfect footnote to the self-confidence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who had been persuaded by the Grand Duke to even be willing to serve the Grand Duke in the name of Austria?

The kingship of the Kingdom of Sardinia was in its prime, and Mazzini could no longer achieve his republican dream by his own strength, and at this time, Downing found him. The Grand Duke of Luxembourg was a strange man, not many people knew what he liked to meddle in international affairs for, and he also had precedents of betraying his friends, such as: Hugo, who was a staunch republican like Mazzini, and Downing's best thing was to bring Hugo to Lugano to meet Mazzini together, so that Mazzini found that the split between Hugo and Downing was not a betrayal of one side as previously rumored, and they still maintained friendship and a certain kind of trust.

And Hugo, who was by Downing's side at this time, the republican soul who was expelled by Napoleon III, was actually brought to the negotiation site by Downing, wait a minute, will Napoleon III's face look better than Cavour?

Well, he guessed right.

His Majesty the Emperor of France and His Majesty the Empress arrived.

This was the first time Downing had met Napoleon III, and seeing that his face was not very good before he met Hugo, was it because the war was not going well? Have you already understood that you are not a true emperor after all? The emperor is not so easy to be, only those who know themselves and their opponents, are outstanding, and are wise and martial arts can be the emperor. Now Napoleon III is a burnt emperor, and the empresses are much calmer than him.

Hugo's appearance really made Na III's face change, and he almost spoke to question, and glanced at the queen, hoping to get her approval, but the queen's talking eyes told him to be patient. You must know that the French emperor was in a dilemma both internally and externally, and his foreign ministers were quite dissatisfied with France's involvement in the war with Austria, and tried in every possible way to mess up this matter, both openly and secretly.

Tang Ning couldn't embarrass the French emperor too much, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how is your body?" ”

This is a disguised reminder to the Emperor that your life was saved by Windsor Hospital, both to remind Napoleon III to remember his kindness and to hint at the power of the healing output.

In their eyes, it was as if a circular aura appeared above Tangning's head in an instant, which was the characteristic of the healing output profession.

Napoleon III is not too young, and he feels that the future is terrifying, and now in his eyes, Downing is already an absolute power, what is a thousand troops? Downing is simply a great magician, who can conjure a powerful army with a single forbidden magic. In 1857, Downing cast a forbidden spell, and with a bang, the entire East India Company's mighty army of hundreds of thousands became his power, a formidable force that the entire French navy could not necessarily compete with the East India Company's fleet, which was born out of the tradition of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Now, the Great Magician has cast another spell, and he has turned the Austrian army of 200,000 into his strength, at least in this war, it is his strength, terrible! Terrible magic.

Just let me see what kind of magic the great magician has, he is ready to see what kind of thing the CNC machine is. Napoleon III collected his feelings and said, "Why not go straight to the point?" We can't wait to see the mechanical computer control zhì industrial machine tools. ”

Tang Ning: "According to the arrangement, you have come from afar, I am half the host in Switzerland, I should invite you to have a cup of tea or something, but since Your Majesty is not in a hurry, then I might as well obey my fate respectfully." This side please. ”

At this time, Tang Ning secretly glanced at Eugenie again, well, it seems that she is still quite young and beautiful, the queen has been doing it for a long time, and her noble temperament is even more rare in the world. Especially on diplomatic occasions, the queen's shelf is up, tsk, handsome, no, beautiful.

After that, Tang Ning stopped talking, and led his top elite observation group to the Xuanji Shi yàn room, where a typical CNC machine tool is placed, which can automatically process all kinds of rotational molded things, make various geometric holes in the hard metal, and even the square can be drilled out after subtle geometric transformations, and can also automatically turn out perfect gears and complex curves, and the accuracy is 500 streets, in short, it is difficult for you to imagine how many years and months it takes to learn and how many mistakes to make when such an object is manually cared out. How much material to waste, even after proficiency, how many mistakes will be made, and CNC machine tools almost never make mistakes, once the mature program is set, manufacturing the exact same machine is as simple and convenient as dumplings.

This...... This......

Magic, absolute magic. (http：／／.)。 Bismarck and Cavour were already swallowing their saliva, what a tempting and great black technology, they seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their trip and their sacred mission, and were shocked by the miracle.

The voice of the great magician was as magical as magic: "One day, all labor will be replaced by intelligent machines, and on the road of this civilization, physical and mental workers will come more and more easily and capable." Nature's most formidable traveler is probably the golden eagle, which spreads its huge wings and soars effortlessly over kilometres of air thanks to updrafts. However, even with the bicycle, humans can outperform all animals in nature in terms of travel ability as long as they have the tools. Yes, the energy consumed by humans when using bicycles is smaller than or better than that of golden eagles per unit weight, not to mention hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and other means of transportation. ”

Hugo was so excited that he was so excited that he had to write a poem when he went back, and he said, "Science is great." It is the only one that can transcend national, national, and religious barriers. Okay is good, no good is no, and a qiē quarrel seems redundant and stupid. ”
