Marshal Radetzky's reply surprised Carlo Alberto, who was a king and had a very noble status, but it was not much more difficult for the former to crush the latter than to kill an ant.

Carlo Alberto could only smile wryly.

"I'm all, the French are too cruel and tyrannical!"

To be honest, Marshal Radetzky is 82 years old, has a good cultivation, and usually looks like a kind old man, so the soldiers like to call him Daddy Radetzky.

But Carlo Alberto's words did infuriate him, and at least 10,000 Austrian soldiers were buried forever on this land throughout the war, and many more were wounded.

Typically, for every soldier killed or injured in a war, there are dozens, if not dozens, of civilians.

Although burning, killing and looting is an immoral act, it is a very effective means of relieving pressure for the army.

As far as Marshal Radetzky knew, all armies throughout the ages, even the crusaders of the crusade in the name of God, were not immune.

But by this time the army of the Austrian Empire had done it, and he was sincerely proud of the lads in his army.

Government and church propaganda, strict discipline, and a combination of good pay, royal oversight, and nationalism combined to create such an army in this era.

And now Carlo Alberto, the villain, dares to wronged these bravest people in turn and let them be wronged, even if the old marshal has no temper and no matter how good his cultivation is, he can't bear it.

Although the Grand Duke Franz asked to minimize the harm to civilians, Carlo Alberto is not a civilian after all, is he?

On the night of the withdrawal of the Austrian troops, Carlo Alberto's temporary palace was attacked and millions of lire's worth of belongings were looted.

After the handover of the Austrian army and the king of Sardinia***, dozens of prisoner of war camps***...

The anti-French volunteers directly became a local separatist force after the withdrawal of the Austrian army.

Carlo Alberto and his ministers had nothing to do in the face of this situation, and what could they do about the problems that the French could not solve?

In fact, Garibaldi was also in Radetzky's army, and he would have liked to meet Carlo Alberto, the last hope of the Italian nation.

(This is what Cavour said of Carlo Alberto in the newspaper Recovery, which he founded.) ）

However, the sight outside of Turin disappointed Garibaldi.

After the departure of the Austrian army, chaos arose within the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Carlo Alberto made a foolish move, which completely disappointed Garibaldi.

Soon after, Carlo Alberto signed the Po Treaty with the Austrian Empire to establish the Panpo Free Trade Zone.

Garibaldi became the first commander of the Po Guard, an army that was actually 80% Austrian and tasked with protecting free trade and occasionally helping the Kingdom of Sardinia with minor problems.

Garibaldi was also given an Austrian account by Marshal Radetzky, Jose Giuseppe Zoppo (Italian for lame. ), Colonel Emperor ***, Commander of the Po River Convoy.

The French army trapped in the Kingdom of Sardinia was repatriated by the Sardinian side and collected ransom from the French, and Carlo Alberto never had the courage to do so.

However, in order to suffer less beatings in the future, it is still necessary to make some small moves to reduce the effective strength of the French army.

Incitement to attack French prisoners of war was a good idea, at least for Carlo Alberto.

In addition, the Alps, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and it is normal for some French troops to have some accidents, right?

As a result, less than 100,000 of the 200,000 French soldiers returned home alive.

After making sure that the group did not sign any bullshit declaration of honor with the Austrians, Kafenjak dragged them all into battle to quell the rebellion at home.

The signing of the Po Treaty, in addition to the establishment of the Pan-Po Free Trade Zone and the Po Guard, also guaranteed the Austrian Empire's retention

The interests of the Naya region.

According to Franz's plan, some of the wounded soldiers would be directly recovered, and the land would be their reward.

As for the Genoese peasants who lost their land, they would enter the factories, but of course Franz was more image-conscious, these factories were run by local compradors, and even the funds had to be paid by themselves, and the Austrian Empire only provided them with markets.

Most of the first compradors were Genoese bankers and local gentry who had been associated with the Austrian Empire before, but there were also some notable names.

Among them was the famous Camilo Benso Cavour, one of the three famous Italian heroes in history, a famous constitutional monarchist and patriot of the Kingdom of Sardinia at this time.

Some people may not be able to understand Cavour's behavior, but Franz finds it not surprising, after all, how can a capitalist not get along with money?

Of course, understanding this, Franz would not have the joy of the world's heroes being in my hands, he just smiled calmly.

With the entry into force of the Treaty of Strasbourg, the Austrian Emperor and the German coalition began to withdraw their troops completely.

As external pressure eased, the French government felt much less pressure, but instead of continuing the civil war and eradicating dissent, Kafenjak opted for peace negotiations and promised fair elections.

In fact, Kafenjak has always been very concerned about his identity, and he has always felt that he is not coming from the right way as president, so he must hold an election to strengthen his position.

The news quickly spread, and a middle-aged man in a London tavern picked up a glass of wine and drank it down.

"France is going to be in chaos again. What an idiot Kafenjak is, he doesn't know that France at this time can't be without a backbone?"

"Maybe he thinks he's the backbone."

"Self-righteous guy, he only deserves to be a police chief!"

"Are you still going back? Your countrymen don't seem to welcome you very much."

The middle-aged man glanced at the person who spoke, and there was a fire burning in his eyes.

"Looks like you have an idea."

"Haha, of course. How could our big guys give up? Like Mr. Hugo's imprisonment will shut him up?"

"Isn't Mr. Hugo a councilor? How could he be sent to prison?"

"Haha! The kings have been driven out, and what is impossible."

"That's right."

"But the situation in France is not optimistic, last time we lost half of our men, this time we will be wiped out.

You have to think about it."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If it weren't for our big guy, I'd still be in that madhouse."

"Haha, interesting! Interesting! I'm going to see how far you can go."

"Count me in!"

"And me!"

At this time, the middle-aged man finally put down his wine glass and put an end to the noise in the tavern.

"France! Your Emperor is back!"
