Seeing that Cavour was shocked, Victor couldn't say a word for a long time. Yin Manuel II spoke again to Cavour in a slightly solemn tone.

"Prime Minister Cavour, what do you think we should do now?"

Hear Victor. Yin Manuel II's inquiry, Cavour frowned, and replied in a firm tone. "Your Majesty, we must not restrict the liberal system and restrict the press in Sardinia!

If this is done, the alliance between the kingdom and the liberals will cease to exist, and it will be very difficult for the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify the Apennine Peninsula!"

For Cavour, the unification of the Kingdom of Sardinia could only be achieved if it united with the liberals and nationalists in Italy, so that liberals and nationalists could identify themselves with the laws promulgated by Sardinia.

Otherwise, even if the Kingdom of Sardinia took Lombard and Venice, it would fall into the same fate as the Austrian Empire.

Not to mention, the Kingdom of Sardinia was not the only one capable of uniting the Apennines.

The Kingdom of Sardinia was stronger than other kingdoms and principalities, and they reached an agreement with the Italian liberals, who would not be a stumbling block to Sardinia like other countries, but could be a helping hand for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Having given up this significant advantage, the Kingdom of Sardinia was not much different from the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal States.

"But!" Vidocq. Concerned Cavour, Men Manuel II replied, "If we reject the French Imperial Foreign Office, will they attack us?"

Vidocq. Yin Manuel II feared that the French Empire would therefore sever ties with the Kingdom of Sardinia, which wanted to unify Italy and had to hug Jérôme. Bonaparte's thighs can be walked.

Angered Jérôme. Bonaparte, the unification of Italy will become elusive.

"Your Majesty, I know!" Cavour replied in a dejected tone, and then said with a determined look, "But even so, we can't give up on restricting the liberals and nationalists in the country."

Although Cavour repeatedly stressed that the liberals could not be abandoned, Vidocq. Yin Manuel II did not think so.

Compared to the alliance with the liberals, Victor. Yin Manuel II was clearly more focused on hugging France's thighs.

"Prime Minister Cavour, I ask you what you should do now!" Victor. With a hint of anger, Yin Manuel II asked Cavour, "Instead of listening to you repeat again and again, we can't give up our alliance with those damned kingkillers!

I know that the liberal alliance is important, but it is also very important with the French Empire.

If we lose the protection of the French Empire, the Austrian Empire will probably act against us without any qualms.

What will we do when the time comes? Who can we rely on?"

Vidocq. The harsh reality of the Cavour Anger was that the Kingdom of Sardinia, in alliance with liberalism and with the French Empire, had now become two conflicting choices! ….

In such a situation, Cavour would be detrimental to them no matter which choice he made.

"Your Majesty, I think we have to get Jérôme . Emperor Bonaparte realized that by alliing with us against the Austrian Empire, we would be able to maximize the interests of the French Empire!" Cavour vs. Victor. Yin Manuel II solemnly replied that he had chosen the third way between suppressing liberals and hating the French Empire, "Only in this way will he give up the suppression of liberalism, and at the same time he will not alienate France from this issue!"

"What are you going to do?" Victor. Yin Manuel II then asked, and then he thought of something, and replied to Cavour with wide eyes, "You don't want to satisfy the previous demands of the French Empire, do you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the only way to satisfy the French Empire." Cavour sighed, then puffed out his chest to Victor. Yin Manuel II said.

"It's a cession

Savoyin, Nice, or cede Sardinia, or choose a member of the Bonaparte family for my daughter, and marry him!" Victor. Yin Manuel II said to Cavour in a slightly depressed tone.

"Your Majesty, Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte already had a wife, and his son was currently only about 4 years old!

Not yet at the age of marriage!" Cavour vs. Victor. Yin Manuel II reminded him.

"So there's only one way to cede the land!" Victor. Yin Manuel II felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he would one day go to the point of selling his land for glory.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to give the lands of the Kingdom of Sardinia to the French!

For now, that's the only option we have!" After a wry smile appeared on the corner of Cavour's mouth, he said to Victor. Yin Manuel II said.

"Do you know that if you do this, you may be assassinated by some ultra-nationalists, and your life will be in danger!" Victor. Yin Manuel said to Cavour with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, I know!" Cavour spoke calmly to Victor. Yin Manuel II said, "I was ready to die before I became prime minister!"

"Which piece of land are you going to cede?" Victor. Yin Manuel II to Cavour.

"Your Majesty, I am ready to cede all three pieces of land to France!" Cavour vs. Victor. Yin Manuel II replied.

"What!" Vidocq. Yin Manuel II raised his voice, and then pointed at Cavour with a slightly trembling finger, "You're going to give Savoyin, Nice, and Sardinia to France once!"

"Your Majesty, it's not a one-time thing!" Cavour replied with a stinging reply, "We can give one of these three territories to France first, and the remaining two to France after they have helped us defeat the Austrian Empire!"

If you were to exchange three pieces of land for the entire Apennine Peninsula, I don't think anyone would be willing to refuse!"

"This ......" Victor. After thinking for a moment, Yin Manuel II said to Cavour: "How can you guarantee that Jérôme. Bonaparte, when he receives the territory, will certainly help us in Sardinia." ….

"I can't guarantee it!" Cavour spread his hands and spoke frankly to Victor. "If France is not willing to be an enemy of the Austrian Empire, then the territory we have given to France will be gone!"

However, I will try to make Jérôme as much as possible. Emperor Bonaparte made a pact with me!

to ensure that the French Empire will not backtrack."

"Jérôme. Will Bonaparte choose to sign a pact with us?" Victor. Yin Manuel II asked Cavourd again.

"I can't guarantee that, either!" Cavour shook his head again at Victor. Yin Manuel II said.

At this moment, Victor. Yin Manuel II's emotions finally exploded, and he pointed at Cavour and rebuked, "Prime Minister Cavour, you can't guarantee anything just now, how can I believe that you can get the French Empire to help Sardinia and unify Italy!"

"Your Majesty, we all know very well! Whether the Kingdom of Sardinia can be unified or not is actually not important to our army or domestic politics.

What matters is whether there are countries willing to support our reunification!

Cavour spoke bitterly to Vidocq. "The only people in Europe who can help us resist the Austrian Empire's attack and expel the Austrian Empire from Lombardy and Venice are Britain and France, and the Kingdom of Britain is a maritime power that is itself outside the continent!"

Therefore, the only one we can rely on is the French Empire!"

From 1848 to 1849, Britain jumped left and right to mediate, which is really fresh in Cavour's memory.

This also made Cavour determined that Britain could only add to the scene, not the charcoal in the snow.

Although Cavour discussed many things with the Kingdom of Britain, he never had the luxury of expecting the Kingdom of Britain to help them unify.

There are only flanges that can help them

Western Empire.

"Cavour, you can do it yourself!" Victor. Yin Manuel II replied to Cavour with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty!" A smile appeared at the corner of Garfuld's mouth, and he hurriedly pleaded with Victor. Yin Manuel II was able to make him personally visit Jérôme in Paris. Bonaparte.

For Cavour thought that he was the only one who had done the matter with Jérôme. It would be useful for Bonaparte to discuss it himself, so he had to go to Paris.

Victor. Yin Manuel II sighed and said to Cavour, "All right! Cavour! Do you need anything else?"

Cavour told Victor. Yin Manuel II, he wanted Victor. Yin Manuel II was able to give him part of the collection of the Royal Palace of Turin, preferably a high-end collection.

Cavour needed to use those collections to bribe those who could sway the emperor's will.

Victor. A hint of reluctance flashed in Yin Manuel II's eyes, the collection of the royal palace of Turin was already very rare.

If this continues, the royal palace of Turin will probably become poor and white.

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

Despite the fact that Victor. Yin Manuel II was reluctant to give up, but he still chose to send someone to bring Cavour into the collection room.

Cavour in Victor. In the collection room of Yin Manuel II, some beautifully carved objects were indeed found.

Witnessed by his attendants, Cavour took the collection one by one.

After Cavour left, Victor. Yin Manuel II asked his attendants the number and variety of items that Cavour had taken from the collection.

The attendant honestly told Vidocq the type and number. Yin Manuel II listened.

"Damn Cavour! Damn old French!" Vidocq. Yin Manuel II complained quietly.

96.
