Garibaldi was distraught by the disillusionment that a free army should not be like this.

Garibaldi did not experience the war against France, and those who witnessed it were mixed, but at this time the French did absolutely nothing good in this war.

They took everything they could take as they retreated, and destroyed what they couldn't, and the oath of the sanctity of private property seemed like a fart to them.

Radetzky's army was well-disciplined, and most of the cities that gave up resistance along the way were unscathed.

For the towns that resist to the end, Radetzky will directly use rockets to turn the cities into a sea of fire, and the army will not stop, after all, their primary goal is to take Genoa.

Although the vanguard advanced quickly, Benedek, as the battlefield commander, moved slowly.

Benedek always believed that the French army would definitely send strong reinforcements, and he must be ready to retreat at any time, deploy defenses along the way, and send a large number of reconnaissance troops as early warning.

However, instead of sending troops to support Genoa, the French army even continued to transfer Genoese troops to Piedmont.

The expected bitter battle didn't happen, not even a decent battle. Benedek's caution seemed pointless, but here was the crux of Marshal Radetzky's words.

Garibaldi also didn't understand that as a low-ranking soldier who had made a mistake, he didn't have many channels to get information, but he had obviously heard that the French army numbered hundreds of thousands.

Was the process of fighting in Genoa as the focal point of this war too dull?

Like the battle in Venezia, the Austrian army seemed to have only two states, either chasing someone or being chased.

When you arrive at the port of Genoa, all the mysteries are revealed.

Genoa had already planted the flag of the Austrian Empire, and the Marines were drinking and playing cards in front of the gates.

They did not hide the contempt in their hearts, looked at their belated army comrades with disdain, and even deliberately sang improvised saliva songs in the Venetian dialect.

"The sun rises from the sea, and the earth sleeps.

The brave sailors have taken the victory under the guidance of the waves,

The stupid duck on land is still wandering in his dreams.

They can neither swim nor run, stupid ducks of Sicily."

In fact, the northern Italians, especially those near the Venetians, were very contemptuous, and even somewhat hostile, to the southern Italians, represented by the Sicilians.

Most of the officers in the army could not understand, and some of the officers from northern Italy could understand but pretended not to hear, so the handover between the two sides was smooth.

Only the Sicilian refugees, who had temporarily enlisted in the army, were indignant, but the facts before them could not be refuted.

The navy had already taken Genoa, and even forced the French to abandon their plan to hold on to Genoa and shrink their forces.

The strategic objectives were accomplished, the soldiers were rewarded with their pre-war promises, and most of the soldiers from Sicily had forgotten about their previous unhappiness.

But Garibaldi was not happy, obviously he was fighting for the liberation of Italy, but why should those Venetians laugh at themselves. …。。

It was the same in the Papal States, where people were more likely to keep their own land and gain more power.

Every ruler paid lip service to the liberation of Italy, but they never practiced it.

Whether it was Alberto, Manin, the Pope, or the Roman republicans, the liberation of Italy in the mouth of the French was just a deception.

Everywhere is ruins, displaced refugees are everywhere, the once laughing and laughing port has become depressed and lonely, the warm and noisy bars are now darkly lit, and the war has consumed everything.

In the middle of the night, there are constantly transactions in the dirty alleys that are darker than the night and dirtier than the alleys.

Garibaldi, however, was not in a position to condemn all this at this time, because of this

Everything seems to have been caused by him and them.

War did not become a flame that consumed the old world, but magnified the original darkness without limit.

Garibaldi took out all his possessions and borrowed a lot of money, but it was still a drop in the bucket for the huge number of refugees.

And when his comrades learned of Garibaldi's actions, instead of supporting him and encouraging him, they began to urge him to pay back the money.

Garibaldi was a brave warrior, he was never afraid of death and difficulties, he has won countless times with less, he has won from defeat to victory, and he has also escaped death countless times, and he has stood at the forefront of the team in eye-catching clothes many times

He has experienced countless deeds in his life, and he has experienced countless times, and his bounty has been ordered in both the northern and southern hemispheres, and his fame alone has surpassed that of Blackbeard, who once dominated the Caribbean.

None of this defeated him, but Garibaldi was about to be driven crazy by himself.

Fortunately, Riberio was always by Garibaldi's side, and the wife's method of waking up her husband was very simple and rude, which was a slap in the face and the same sound in one night.

The next day, Garibaldi stood on the beach with a lame leg in tow, but this time he did not feel sorry for himself and wanted to jump into the sea, but simply felt the broadness of the sea and admired the magnificent beauty of the sea.

At this time, Garibaldi noticed that merchant ships with the Austrian flag were approaching the port, and he soon found that they were full of grain.

The food was accompanied by a group of officials and clergy, who requisitioned the city's churches and town halls to distribute relief meals.

However, Franz understood that to restore the vitality of a city, it was not enough to rely on methods to remedy it, and excessive control could only lead to the rampant black market.

First, the Austrian government will buy land from people whose houses have been reduced to ruins, and then rebuild the city according to the drawings given by the Austrian Imperial Institute of Urban Design in order to start a new round of cash-for-work.

Wait until the city is built to sell the finished house to the Genoese, of course, the original owner can enjoy a certain degree of discount.

This is mainly to prevent some people from playing Pirai

In addition, priority should be given to the rehabilitation of the port and entertainment, catering and service facilities, because these are the fastest ways to get money.

Of course, Franz could not have done all this in vain, and all transactions during this period required the use of new banknotes of the Austrian Empire, which could not be used in any currency other than the new banknotes of the Austrian Empire.

As for the reasons, there should be more or less, such as preventing the infiltration of enemy countries, easy relief, easy management, and even directly saying that the paper money of the Austrian Empire was better to use and safer than the currencies of other countries.

There was little opposition, for the Genoese had just suffered a catastrophe, and almost all of their valuable things had been robbed by the French, and these paper money, which had purchasing power, had been exchanged for their houses that had become ruins.

Everyone felt that they had picked up a big bargain, and Franz was no exception.
