The bright sunshine shines in the blue sea, and there is no special flavor.

In the windy and beautiful day, there was a bonus to be handed out, and Colonel Richard was very comfortable.

With years of experience, he found out that there was a problem with the boat ahead, tried to chase it, and it turned out.

Ordinary merchant ships would also stay away when they saw the Royal Navy on the high seas, but no matter how far away they were, they would not sell their goods in the sea just to run away.

Although the Royal Navy has a history of guest pirates, that is all past tense, and it has converged a lot in recent years.

Even if it is a robbery, it will be disguised. When the navy flag is hoisted, at most, a protection fee is extorted.

Those with a relationship background can also enjoy discounts on climbing relationships. As long as the money is in place, even if it is smuggled.

The performance of the Fulda is undoubtedly telling them that there is no silver three hundred and two in this place. Such a fool is rare, and Captain Richard will naturally not let it go.

The officer in charge of the slogan said excitedly: "Colonel, we met Vittorio Emanuele III, just on the warship in front, he has already identified himself."

In order to catch Vittorio Emanuele III who was on the road, the London government was cruel, and the Royal Navy almost came out.

Nor can it be said that arresting, after all, a king, John Bull also has to pay attention to international influence, so the mission of the Royal Navy is to invite people back.

Hearing this good news, Colonel Richard looked overjoyed. To know that in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, the country has offered a reward.

As long as you can bring Vittorio Emanuele III back, you will not only have a huge bonus, but you can also go up one level.

Richard is already a colonel, and he will cross the threshold of generals. It seems that there is only a line, but in fact this is the difference between heaven and earth.

There are a lot of colonel officers in the Royal Navy who can really cross the threshold of generals. There is no way. It is a time of peace. It is naturally difficult to advance without advancement.

"What are you waiting for, let them stop the ship immediately, and please come to Vittorio Emanuele III."

The word "please" Colonel Richard bite very hard. The fallen king, who is also a king, must be given enough respect.

There is no way, the relationship between the European royal family is very chaotic, relatives are everywhere when going out, and the relationship between any royal family should not be underestimated.

The young officer's face suddenly became ugly, and he replied with a headache: "We have already sent out an invitation, but Vittorio Emanuele III did not agree.

And warned us not to keep up, or we will be responsible for any accidents that occur halfway. "

In the end, the young officer made a decisive choice to avoid the weight, and did not directly say the threat of Vittorio Emanuele III.

Colonel Richard was dumbfounded. He never imagined that Vittorio Emanuele III was so uncooperative.

The threat of firing is impossible. In case of bad luck, Vittorio Emanuele III saw God, and no one was charged.

Glancing at the young officer, Colonel Richard reprimanded: "He refused, you won't persuade!"

Yes, it is to persuade, no matter how down, for most ordinary people, Vittorio Emanuele III is a big man.

Seeing the young officer's face confused, Richard continued to add: "Idiot, Vittorio Emanuele III. We can't move. Can't you still try to intimidate other people on the ship?"

Go down to speed up and put pressure on them ... "

...

Facts have proved that the slogan is still not perfect enough. At least when expressing threats, the deterrent is not strong enough.

After confirming that the British did not dare to fire, the people on the Fulda quickly recovered. Of course, the emotions were still a little excited.

The opening of Vittorio Emanuele III's gold mouth, everyone is noble, provided that King Sardinian can successfully return to the country.

Anyone who lives on the sea knows that wealth and wealth must be sought in danger. Captain Petra also exaggerated the success rate appropriately and told everyone that the French were at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

In order to save the failure of the French, the despicable British government seized Vittorio Emanuele III.

Nothing wrong, it is a mean and shameless British government. Do n’t look at everyone being British, but there is a difference between the British and the British.

Although it is a temporarily arranged ship, it is impossible for the Austrian Embassy to not conduct an investigation. The Fulda can be selected, naturally because the crew is Irish.

If the crew were all English who belonged to Britain the strongest, it would be another situation now.

The distance between the two sides continued to be narrowed, and the atmosphere on the Fulda became tense, and Vittorio Emanuele III had to personally appease the people.

Suddenly, a few black spots appeared on the horizon, and the crew on the observation deck reported back: "The fleet was found ahead, and we are heading in this direction."

Vittorio Emanuele III breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "That was the ship that came to meet us, and leaned over immediately."

After that, he pretended to enter the cabin calmly.

The accompanying middle-aged man couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, this time we left the route selected by ourselves. Even the Austrians do not know the specific route and did not arrange for the ship to respond!"

After so many years in exile, the Italian independent organization was also severely beaten by society, and now no longer trusts anyone.

Even if he is now an ally with Austria, Vittorio Emanuele III did not accept the escape route arranged by the Austrian embassy, ​​but instead temporarily changed the route and boarded the Fulda.

Vittorio Emanuele III said slowly, "It is not important now if anyone answers, as long as someone knows that I am on the Fulda."

It is now less than a hundred nautical miles from the Netherlands, and there are only two British warships chasing after them. They are unable to kill all the people in a fleet together.

Once approaching, tell them that there is a noble king on the Fulda. As long as the British officers chasing behind were not stupid, they would let us go. "

In theory, the Royal Navy does not dare to kill the king. But there are accidents in everything. In this vast sea, it is not a big deal to miss a boat.

The fact that Vittorio Emanuele III boarded the Fulda was completely temporary, and only a limited number of people knew.

And these insiders are all in London. Once the British are ruthless and come to a murder, who can prove that the British did it?

It may leave clues, but the problem is that someone has to check it down, not ordinary people.

The people on the Fulda are all temporary children, and their loyalty simply cannot stand the test. Earlier I said that the British did not dare to do it, it was to encourage morale.

...

On October 9, 1890, under the **** of the Royal Navy, Vittorio Emanuele III arrived in the Netherlands.

The political consciousness of the chasing Colonel Richard is still very brilliant, and he made a decisive change at a critical moment, defining this trip as an **** for Vittorio Emanuele III.

As for the unpleasantness that happened halfway, that's a small problem. Not to mention that Vittorio Emanuele III has not succeeded in the restoration, even if he really became the king of Sardinia, he could not offend the British.

He is not as good as human beings. He must eat what he does not eat. He even has to be happy to prove to the outside world that Yingsa is friendly.

On the Western Front, after half a month of fighting, the anti-French alliance is already at an absolute disadvantage.

Even in local operations, Belgium has not been able to counterattack in the face of absolute strength gap.

The Austrian reinforcements are still on the way, the German Federal Action is slow, the Belgian Luxembourg line has been crumbling, and even the Rhineland defense line has problems.

The form on the battlefield is becoming more and more serious, and Leopold II has lost the spirit of the past.

"The situation is increasingly detrimental to us. When will the German and Austrian reinforcements arrive?"

Frankly speaking, the performance of the Belgian army this time is still passing. Being able to resist the French offensive on the battlefield for half a month with inferior forces has already taken the shot.

Foreign Minister Juul replied: "The main force of the Austrian army arrived in Baden yesterday afternoon. The vanguard has arrived in the Rhineland region and is expected to enter our country in five days.

The mobilization of the German Federation is slower. At present, only the western states have completed military mobilization, while the eastern states are still in progress.

However, the troops mobilized by the western states did not arrive at the front line for the first time. We and the German Federal Government communicated with them, and they could not take these states. "

Inconsistency of command is a persistent illness of the German Federation. If there were no such internal problems, they would have joined the power clubs for a long time.

Leopold II asked doubtfully: "A few days ago, did George I say he wanted to come to the frontline and watch the war, how could there be no movement?"

War is a risk and an opportunity, and the emperor's throne, which was finally taken up, will naturally not give up easily.

In fact, the throne of George I was not stable. In addition to staring at the Austrian tiger, the most important thing was that his personal monarch prestige was too low.

This is a problem left over by history. The German Federation is the product of a special period, and it is an empire imposed on the German people by European countries such as Britain, France, Russia and other countries.

The empire created by force cannot naturally satisfy everyone. Especially for nationalists, this empire is a shame.

In this context, the following small states will naturally not buy the accounts of the central government.

In order to weaken the authority of the central government and protect its own power, some people even deliberately preached Hanover's theory of traitorship.

The newspaper publicly proclaimed that the crown of the Gotha dynasty was a reward from the powers for hindering the unification of the German region.

There is no way, Hanover ’s limited strength, inability to subdue this group of small states, and the fact that the people do not support the central government, the German Federation has been in a weak position since its establishment.

In order to change this passive situation, the two generations of German Federal Emperors have made many efforts, such as: a series of measures such as efforts to develop the economy, open up colonies, and merge the Kingdom of Prussia.

The results are remarkable, and the effect is so-so. After all, these things cannot satisfy the nationalist appetite.

In a sense, this anti-French war is already George I's last chance. As long as enough prestige is established in the war, it will be effective after the war.

"Your Majesty, the internal problems of the German Confederation are too troublesome. George I wanted the prestige in the war without the support of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The problem is that after the lessons of the two Russian-Russian wars, the Prussian government has gradually become more conservative and unwilling to continue to take risks.

Because of the political changes and the conditions they had originally met, the Prussian government is no longer ready to perform the contract.

George I is working hard to persuade the Prussian government. From the current situation, there is a high probability of failure.

The main reason was that the Austrian would not give him this opportunity. Once the Vienna government intervened, all the efforts made by George I were in vain. "

Foreign Minister Juul explained that Leopold II wanted to cry without tears. Whether the German region is unified, this has nothing to do with Belgium.

Whether it is the integrated German Confederation or the unified Shinra Empire, for Belgium it is the difference between elephants and baby elephants.

Elephants can't afford it, and small elephants can't afford it either. Anyway, they all live with their tails in the end, and the end result is the same.

After pondering for a while, Leopold II said fiercely: "Let's urge the Vienna government again and tell them that if there is no more reinforcements, we will vote ... and we are done."

Fortunately, Leopold II reacted in time, or he would make a joke about threatening his allies by "surrendering."

...

Although the reinforcements did not arrive, the army regiment had already reached the front line.

In order to win the final victory, Franz sent Albrecht directly to the Western Front.

This is also a helpless move, not that Austria has no generals, the key is that the Western Front needs joint command.

There is no doubt that the command of the coalition forces fell to Austria. Even if the two countries want to fight, they have no confidence.

It is easy to get command, but it is not easy to command a multinational coalition. There is no one with enough weight to be the coach, but he can't hold back his position.

The most loudly declared Grand Duke Albrecht in the Austrian Army became the best candidate.

The formation of the coalition forces has not been completed, but the coalition headquarters has been born in advance, and the Grand Duke Albrecht has begun to perform his duties in advance.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the coalition forces, and looking at the Ardennes forest will be impossible. After dropping the information in hand, Grand Duke Albrecht could not sit still.

It seems that the present war has little to do with Austria. Anyway, it is not the Austrians who died. The loss is also an ally's matter.

But in fact, it is not so. Both Belgium and the German Confederation are important forces against law. Now that they have suffered heavy losses, the important task of countering France in the future can only be resisted by Austria itself.

In particular, they also control strategic points. Once they fall into the hands of the French army and then want to recapture them, they must pay a greater price later.
