"Bishop Antonelli!"

General Reginio's gaze was staring directly at Antonelli, his dark blue eyes like jewels seemed to be able to see all the filth and filth in Antonelli's heart, and the aura around him like a beast frightened the courtiers around the pope back several steps.

Antonelli, who was pampered in Rome on weekdays and was respected by the monarchs of various countries during his foreign visits, had never seen such a posture, and he said to General Regnio in a trembling voice: "General...... General, is it ...... Am I not right? ”

General Reginio continued to look at Antonelli with his sharp gaze and said slowly: "Monsieur Antonelli, don't you think a short thank you is too cheap? ”

"I ......" Antonelli was speechless with his mouth open, he understood the subtext of General Regnio.

What an insatiable guy!

Antonelli couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, now was the time when the French soldiers needed to recover Rome for them, and the only thing they could count on was the French Republic.

[PS: During the talks between France, Spain, Naples, and Austria over the Papal States, Austrian diplomats refused to provide assistance to the Papal States in accordance with the orders of Prince Schwarzenberg, the new Austrian Foreign Minister and Prime Minister, and sent France to France for the Pope's mission of reinstatement, in order to hold France back. The two countries of Naples and Spain, due to their lack of strength, could only follow the swing of the Austrian Empire's line. Pius IX could only rely on the French Republic. 】

"Cheap thanks are certainly not enough to express the gratitude of His Majesty the Pope to President Napoleon!" Antonelli showed a flattering smile, and his body was slightly rickety: "His Majesty the Pope told me that once he returns to Rome, he will continue to deliver the gospel of God in Rome!" ”

Then, he said cautiously: "I privately think that Mr. President should not be satisfied with the position of president. I believe that with God's blessing Mr. President, I will be further elevated......"

General Regino, who had received the promise of Pope Pius IX, smiled tightly, and his uncomfortable eyes like beasts gradually changed to those of the old man next door.

Antonelli breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that General Regnio agreed with the basis of the "return" plan he had proposed.

Quite here, Antonelli couldn't help but grow in courage and said: "Your Majesty's faithful hope that Bonaparte can return to their original position, and we also faithfully wish Bonaparte to protect France for generations to come!" ”

The Papal States, which once had some "deep hatred" with the Bonaparte Empire, have now become the "allies" of the Papal States.

This undoubtedly shows that the Papal States can cooperate with any country, as long as they can guarantee that their power is not violated in Central Italy.

Compared with the Papal States, which could freely move around in the field of diplomacy, the Austrian Empire, which was based on conservative diplomacy, was more like a "religious" state full of strong atmosphere. Franz was a more conservative guy than Pope Pius IX.

At least Pius IX had to pursue a conservative policy for the sake of his own power, Joseph. Franz himself was consistently conservative.

"I'm sure Mr. President will be pleased!" Regino nodded with satisfaction and added: "When Mr. President is happy, we are happy!" ”

"Yes! Be! Antonelli nodded and said to General Regino.

It was at this moment that Edgar. Ney ran in, and as General Reinio's lieutenant, he reported to General Reinho: "Commander, we have received news that Garibal's first group will break through to St. John's Gate this evening!" ”

Before General Regnio could respond, Bishop Antonelli, who was standing beside him, blurted out: "They must not be allowed to break through successfully!" ”

Bishop Antonelli, who knew something about the situation in the Roman Republic, certainly knew about Garibaldi's "great deeds".

If this person is allowed to escape, there will be no peace in the Papal States.

In fact, Antonelli still wanted to establish an armed force that had always belonged to the Pope alone, and the French army only needed to help restore the Papal States.

Antonelli's words caused General Regnio to communicate with Edgar. Ney's sideways gaze.

After almost a month of running-in. Ney and Regnio had already reached the "skill" of understanding each other's thoughts only by hinting at each other's eyes, and General Regnio gestured to Edgar with his eyes. Ney leaves.

Edgar. After saluting Regino, Ney left without Antonelli at all.

"Honorable Commander!" Antonelli looked at General Regnio with an anxious expression, and his words became more respectful.

"Don't worry! Bishop Antonelli, my soldiers and I will definitely leave Garibaldi here! ”

With that, General Regnio stomped his foot twice with the heel of his shoe and emphasized: "This (referring to the inner city of Rome) will be the place where he is buried!" ”

"But, in case ......," Antonelli said reluctantly.

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, I will personally oversee this battle! General Reinio assured Antonelli again, "Why don't you go with me to the battlefield and see for yourself how the French soldiers killed Garibaldi!" ”

Antonelli was a little moved.

However, Regino's next words dispelled Antonelli's thoughts: "I'm afraid that the bullet won't last long on the battlefield, in case you die unfortunately, Your Excellency Bishop......"

Reginio shook his head and sighed, as if Antonelli's fate was already destined to die on the battlefield.

Antonelli, who had plucked up his courage, instantly shrank back again.

The city of Rome was now full of traitors, who hated Bonaparte's loyal lackeys and, even more, Antonelli, the lackeys who followed the Pope.

The notorious Antonelli did not dare to place his hopes on the French army for his own safety.

"I'd better forget it!" Antonelli squeezed out a smile on his face and said humbly: "I will wait for the news of the general's victory in Civitavecchia!" ”

With that, Antonelli turned and left.

General Reginio, who watched Antonelli leave, had a look of disdain on his face.

After bidding farewell to Antonelli, General Regnio rushed to the battlefield on horseback and met with Edgar Edgar at the forward position in France. Ney Round.

It was already 6 p.m., and the setting sun was shining brightly, just as the Roman Republic was now coming to an end.

The French army, which had cleared the outer ring of Rome, was gradually closing in on the eastern side of Rome, and they were trying to eat Garibaldi's entire army in Rome.

"Commander!" Edgar with a command knife in hand ordering the soldiers to charge. Ney looked at General Regnio on the horse, he hurriedly ran to General Regnio and said anxiously: "Commander, the situation is urgent now, Garibaldi's hunter [sniper] is secretly shooting our black guns, you better dismount!" ”

"Major Edgar!" General Reinho, who was on horseback, didn't seem to hear Edgar. Ney's dissuasion, in his opinion, if he dismounted, did not mean that he was afraid of Garibaldi's chasseur troops, which invisibly dealt a blow to the French army: "Call Brigadier General Niel over!" ”

"Yes!" Seeing that General Regnio was dead and unwilling to dismount, Edgar. Ney had no choice but to order a few cavalrymen to surround General Regnio to protect him, while he acted as a herald and even Brigadier General Niel near the Quilina Palace.

"Binoculars!" Regino, who was on his horse, stretched out his hand and said to the cavalry beside him.

The cavalry handed his telescope to General Regnio, who saw the procession gathering around several abandoned villas in the distance.

This group of nearly 1,000 men rushed forward with heavy artillery against their abandoned positions, and they wanted to regain their lost positions.

The French commander who guarded the position was also a fierce man, and the two sides fought in the ruins that had already been destroyed.

"Not bad!" Regnio nodded in satisfaction, the French soldiers were already proving with their actions that they were always brave and good soldiers.

It didn't take long for Brigadier Neel to meet with Edgar. Ney came to General Regnio, and the two saluted him separately.

"Brigadier General Niel, let your troops quickly shrink the encirclement and compress the encirclement to the vicinity of the church of Lalange to the Gate of St. John!" General Reinho gave the order to Brigadier General Niel.

Brigadier General Niel showed a surprised expression from Edgar. Knowing that Garibaldi was about to break through from St. John's Gate, Ney couldn't understand why General Regnio had followed Garibaldi's wishes.

However, as a subordinate of General Regino, he only needs to obey orders.

By the time Brigadier Nière had left, the French army, which had been in a few distant villas, had also been victorious after receiving reinforcements.

General Regnio looked at Edgar. Ney asked, "Major Edgar, how did you know that Garibaldiwan had broken through from St. John's Gate!" ”

"This ......" Edgar. Ney hesitated for a moment and then said to General Regnio, "General, you come with me!" ”

General Regnio on horseback with Edgar. Ney arrives at a palace that is still in ruins, where they meet a young missionary.

Edgar. Ney introduced the excessively young monk to General Regnio.

General Regnio hurriedly and respectfully addressed the monk "Your Highness".

This is Jérôme. Bonaparte's nephew, Lucien. Louis. Napoleon.

"General, this is what I learned from my father's mouth! Hope it helps! "Lucien. Louis. Napoleon said to General Regnio.

"Is Prince Curnow in the house?" General Regnio asked cautiously.

"My father has no interest in politics, so he ......" Lucien. Louis. Napoleon looked apologetic.

"Then we won't bother Prince Kono!"
