The Sun Never Sets In Spain
Chapter 166: Italy surrenders
In the end, there was no alternative, Nasan had to send envoys to Austria-Hungary and the United States, hoping that they could borrow some money from the friendship of alliance and sales assistance.
However, Austria-Hungary itself is not very wealthy, and the relationship between the United States and Bonaparte is relatively bad. It is possible to borrow some money, but 15 million pounds will definitely not be collected.
On the other side, the military parade on the Champs Elysées ended smoothly.
Prussia immediately dismantled most of the fortresses in Paris to ensure that they could easily seize the city when needed.
After leaving Paris, the soldiers failed to return to their hometowns, but continued to go south to prepare for the next war.
Although in theory Prussia has already won, what is left is the French's own business and has nothing to do with them.
But in fact, if they don't continue to fight, they won't get 100% of the 400 million francs in compensation.
Moreover, from an international perspective, the Bonapartists have gradually become a minority in France.
Without outside help, it is unlikely that the royal family will successfully survive this crisis.
At this time Prussia retired, and the new France came to trouble them again, which was tantamount to giving up the fruits of victory by themselves. No one dared to take this risk.
In addition to the French Republican government which made Prussia a little troublesome, there is also a fraternal country that did not let them worry about it.
On the day of the military parade, the city of Milan, which had placed Italy’s last hope, was broken by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Italians fought very tenaciously. Through street fighting, they lost 50,000 themselves, leaving the Austro-Hungarian Empire 40,000 dead.
This may be the best battle loss ratio in the Italian-Austrian War, but it also failed to change the situation on the battlefield.
After the defeat of this battle, King Vittorio could no longer stand up.
If the fight continues, it will really anger the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and maybe even the Kingdom of Sardinia will not be left to him.
In order to preserve the ancestral land, on January 6, 1871, King Vittorio announced his unconditional surrender.
Since then, the Italian-Austrian war of nearly three months has finally ended.
The war is fast, but not easy.
Italy suffered more than 300,000 casualties, and the active army basically changed.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire also suffered more than 140,000 casualties, a bit more than the Battle of the Pau Brothers.
Unlike the Franco-Prussian War, Italy surrendered unconditionally. How to arrange it all depends on the meaning of Habsburg.
All forces moved after hearing the news. Countries such as Britain, France, Posey, and Ottoman have all proposed meetings, hoping to express some opinions on this matter.
This is a major event to slaughter a quasi-power, and it will seriously affect the future political structure of Europe. No amount of prudence can be overstated.
However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire only agreed to the request of Spain and France to meet.
Among them, France only considers the number of alliances, and only Spain can really talk.
Alfonso had no choice but to respond to Habsburg's face, so he temporarily put aside the affairs of France and went to Austria-Hungary by boat in person.
On January 8, Alfonso landed at the Port of Split, and the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Rudolf came to greet him personally.
Sitting on the train to Vienna, Alfonso sighed with emotion. He has not seen him for more than a year, Rudolph seems to be a little mature, and the whole person seems to be a little bit murderous.
Compared with before, this is a little bit like heir to a big country, of course, it's just a little bit.
"Rudolph, are you on the battlefield?" Alfonso hesitated and asked. He felt that it was difficult for a person to change so quickly by relying on education and natural growth.
"Can you see this too?" Rudolph was surprised. He added: "Not only did I go to the battlefield, I also killed people with my own hands."
"Emperor Franz was willing?" Now it was Alfonso's turn to be surprised. Franz Joseph is just such a son, now he is only 13 years old, how dare he.
"A prisoner was executed." Rudolph scratched his head, as if he was afraid that Alfonso would look down on him. He patted his pockets, took out a handful of revolver, and slapped it in front of Alfonso. .
"It was used to kill."
In front of Alfonso was a beautiful silver revolver, probably an improved version of Colt, with six bullet nests.
"It's amazing." Although Alfonso didn't think that killing a prisoner was something to be proud of, the most important thing for a child was encouragement, and he immediately praised him.
This is a bit embarrassing for Rudolph, after all, being praised by beautiful peers will make him somewhat shy.
"No way, didn't you and I killed 6 people when you were about the same age."
Rudolph responded with some admiration and said: "I didn't think there was anything in it before. After I committed suicide, I realized how impossible it was.
Alfonso, how did you practice? I told my father and sister that they all think you are cheating, but I know you are not such a person. "
"This..." Alfonso still gave out the reason he used to perfuse Eugenie: "I am born with supernatural power."
When Eugenie was given this reason, the other party was dubious, but Rudolph did not suspect him.
However, the curiosity of children is endless. These years, the train runs slowly, and it takes a full day to reach Vienna.
During this period Rudolph had been pestering Alfonso, begging him to perform.
"Please, Sister Gisela wants to see it too. Didn't you have a good chat in your letter?"
Alfonso didn't get tired of it, so he had to promise him that he could show his hand in front of the Habsburg family if there was an appropriate time when he arrived in Vienna, such as hunting activities.
After receiving the promise, Rudolph was satisfied and reciprocated, saying that Alfonso could also ask him to do something.
...This promise is not very useful now, and it will be more useful when Rudolf becomes the throne.
However, Alfonso knew that as long as the other party made a slightly excessive request when he grew up, he would not accept this promise 100%.
So he didn't mean to keep it, but asked bluntly: "What will Austria-Hungary do next? Will war on Prussia be declared?"
"It's possible." Rudolph sold state secrets without any pressure, completely ignoring that the guards were behind the car door.
"As far as I know, King Ludwig made some very important promises to his father. As long as France can sustain it, there will be no shortage of people who want revenge in the country."
Hearing this, Alfonso frowned. If Austria-Hungary quickly turned around and hit, Prussia might not be able to hold it. French hegemony was not what he wanted.
But he couldn't tell Rudolph straightforwardly. After all, his face was set up as "Zhigentubao", but because he didn't want to interfere in internal affairs, he didn't directly send troops to help take three.
Fortunately, Rudolph added: "But time may be longer, everyone wants to see the continued bleeding of the popularization of law."
After speaking, he hesitated and said: "Afonso, do you want to save Bonaparte? Maybe I can persuade my father."
"No, no." Alfonso waved his hand immediately: "I don't interfere in other countries' internal affairs. Whoever you want to fight and when you fight is your own business, and you don't need to consider my opinion."
