Chapter 1105 Planning an uprising
Under Cavour's persuasion, Mazzini's will began to waver, and he began to agree with Cavour's theory that "there was an Italian state first".
The Italian nation has been ravaged for centuries, and there is really no need to waste its strength on the question of the national system.
So, after a long silence, Mazzini finally said what Cavour had always wanted to hear from his mouth.
"Mr. Cavour, when do you want me to start an uprising!"
Mazzini's answer made Cavour, who was sitting on the side, feel an unprecedented sense of ease.
Before Mazzini said this, Cavour had been worried that Mazzini would choose to reject him, which would make his original plan a twist.
After all, there are not many leaders who are willing to use the power of their party to fulfill others.
What's more, they are two groups with completely different political philosophies.
The political positions of Cavour and Mazzini cannot be said to be completely identical, but can only be said to be in opposite directions.
Cavour can only bet his hopes on Mazzini's personal integrity.
A party leader who has not experienced the baptism of politics is far more idealistic than realist.
It is only after repeated political beatings that party leaders gradually abandon idealism in favor of realism.
Of course, most party leaders could not survive the political beating and died outright.
Cavour had also undergone a transition from idealism to realism, which led him to believe that in Mazzini's mind, the unification of Italy was far greater than the idea of a republic on the Italian peninsula.
Cavour was betting on the outcome, and luckily for him, Cavour was right.
Mazzini was indeed a "gentleman", and Cavour took advantage of the love for Italy in his heart to deceive him into serving the expansion of the Kingdom of Sardinia in disguise.
The big stone that was originally accumulated in my heart landed smoothly because of Mazzini's consent.
Agitated, Cavour thanked Mazzini and said, "On behalf of the Kingdom of Sardinia, I thank you for your cooperation!"
Hearing Cavour's thanks, Mazzini's eyes showed undisguised disgust.
"Monsieur Cavour, I am not willing to cooperate with you in your actions, not for the sake of the Sovereign of Savoy!" Mazzini showed no mercy to Cavour, and he bluntly said angrily, "In my eyes, the monarchs of the Austrian Empire and the monarchs of Savoy are antiques that should be swept into the dustbin of history!"
The reason why they can continue to stand on the head of the people is nothing more than relying on the wisdom of the people, and I believe that as long as more and more Italian people understand the sins committed by the monarch, they will spontaneously expel the monarch from the country!
It will not be long before you and your master are triumphant, and you will be ruthlessly abandoned by the people!"
As vicious as Mazzini's curse is, for a politician like Cavour, it is even more threatening than a harsh diplomatic rhetoric.
Cavour replied with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mazzini, I will take your admonition to heart!
In order to prevent the future Italian people from expelling the royal family, I will definitely persuade the royal family to be kind to the people living in the Italian peninsula after returning to Sardinia!"
"Humph! I hope you will do what you say!" Mazzini snorted coldly.
Immediately afterward, Mazzini asked Cavour again when he needed them to start an uprising!
"Mr. Mazzini, we can't be completely sure of the exact time!" Cavour spread his hands and replied to Mazzini.
After listening to Cavour's answer, Mazzini laughed angrily: "You want me to start an uprising to cooperate with your actions, but you don't tell me the exact time of the uprising!
What exactly do you want to do? I doubt your determination to unify Italy now!"
"Mr. Mazzini, please calm down!" Cavour hurriedly reassured Mazzini.
"Calm down? How do you calm me down! I
To be responsible for the comrades who started the uprising, should I tell the comrades who started the uprising that you chose to revolt for the sake of the Kingdom of Sardinia?" Mazzini excitedly said to Cavour, "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then I don't think there is any need for our cooperation to continue!"
Hearing that Mazzini wanted to give up the cooperation, Cavour had no choice but to tell Mazzini some details.
I saw Cavour put his hands together between his legs, and with a serious expression on his face at the same time, he said solemnly to Mazzini, "Mr. Mazzini, I will only say these words to you alone, and when I leave this room, I will not be responsible for what I said!"
After seeing Cavour's serious attitude, Mazzini understood that Cavour was going to tell him some details, and he responded to Cavour in a calm tone: "Mr. Cavour, I promise you!
All the words you have said here will not fall into the ears of the third man!"
Afterwards, Cavour said to Mazzini, "The reason why we can't reply to you is because we haven't received official consent from the Kingdom of Britain!"
"The Kingdom of Britain has agreed to help you unify Italy!" Mazzini had a surprised look on his face, and asked Cavour in a particularly excited tone.
In Mazzini's mind, the Kingdom of Britain is a typical country of "no rabbit and no eagle", and it is even more difficult to obtain the recognition of the Kingdom of Britain than to ascend to the sky.
Not to mention the "selfless" help of the Kingdom of Britain.
If the Kingdom of Britain was really willing to help unify Italy, it would only prove that Cavour's plan would indeed allow the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify Italy.
But if Cavour is no more than 70% sure of unifying Italy, then the Kingdom of Britain will definitely not bet
These are some of the lessons that Mazzini learned when he lived in the Kingdom of Britain in recent years.
Looking at Mazzini who was so out of shape in front of him, Cavour understood that Mazzini must have misunderstood.
Cavour, however, was not prepared to explain anything to Mazzini.
After all, Cavour still needs Mazzini to sacrifice for him, and pulling the British tiger skin as a banner can convince Mazzini more.
Cavour nodded, and said vaguely to Mazzini, "The Kingdom of Britain is willing to give some help to the Kingdom of Sardinia during the unification of Italy by the Kingdom of Sardinia (Mazzini thinks that the Kingdom of Britain will help Sardinia send troops against the Austrian Empire, but in fact Britain is only ensuring the security of Sardinia itself under the premise that Sardinia has not officially sent troops)."
After listening to Cavour's words, Mazzini was silent for a moment, and then replied to Cavour: "If that's the case, then I'm willing to wait a while!"
"Mr. Mazzini, please rest assured!" Cavour assured Mazzini, "We won't keep you waiting too long!
I believe it won't be long before the Kingdom of Britain answers!"
After the two agreed on the timing of the uprising, Mazzini began to ask Cavour for funding for the uprising.
"Mr. Cavour, you should understand that it is impossible to fight the Austrian army for a long time with your bare hands, and my comrades and I must have a certain amount of armed strength!
Otherwise, the uprising would be an egg hitting a stone!"
Cavour also understood that there was no such thing as a trade in the world that allowed the horses to run and the horses not to graze.
He did not expect Mazzini's rebel forces to hold back Austria for long, but he also did not want to see the rebel forces face a situation of collapse at the touch of a blow when they engaged the Austrian imperial army.
"Mr. Mazzini, please rest assured! Weapons and money, we'll give it to you!
However, there are some channels for these supplies to be sent to Switzerland, and you just need to let your comrades receive them in Switzerland!" Cavour replied to Mazzini.
"Okay!" Mazzini nodded and said to Cavour, "I will personally go to Switzerland to receive supplies!"
I hope that the supplies you have given me will be helpful to the cause of the uprising!"
"Don't worry!" Cavour to the horse
Zhini replied.
Long before arriving in London, Cavour had agreed with Victor Emmanuel II that all the supplies and firearms for the charcoal burners would be Dreiser's firing guns.
This would have been able to confuse the Austrian Empire and draw the Kingdom of Prussia into the game.
Who in all of Europe did not know about the filthy affair between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire.
It did not seem impossible for the Kingdom of Prussia to aid Mazzini in stirring up Bardy and Venice.
If Cavour's plan had succeeded, the Austrian Empire would have placed troops on the frontier to prevent a surprise attack by the Kingdom of Prussia.
This would also reduce the pressure on Mazzini's rebels and Garibaldi's Red Shirts.
Immediately afterwards, Cavour and Mazzini discussed the details of the uprising.
Mazzini told Cavour about the plan of the uprising he had been planning, and after listening to Mazzini's plan, Cavour encouraged Mazzini to expand the number of people he had drawn from the Lombard and Venetian elites to all members of Lombard and Venice, and gave Mazzini some political promises.
For example, the exemption from tobacco taxes, the confiscation of the property of Austrian nobles in Lombardy and Venice, etc.
Concerned that such a political promise would not be fulfilled, Cavour told him that their fundamental goal in Venice and Lombard was to delay the armies of the Austrian Empire.
Mazzini eventually agreed to Cavour's suggestion, choosing to use more radical slogans to unite the people of Venice and Lombardy.
……
After discussing the details of the uprising, Cavour felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer.
If he were found to be with the revolutionaries, Sardinia would face another unwarranted catastrophe.
Cavour Krypton stood up and held out his hand to Mazzini.
Mazzini also got up, and after a moment's hesitation, he also reached out and shook Cavour's hand.
"For Italy!"
"For Italy!"
