War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

The reason why Turin is so vulnerable is inseparable from Bellevue's daily actions and the arrogance and domineering French army.

Moreover, the speed of the Austrian army was beyond the imagination of the French army. Before the latter had time to organize its defense, the former was already preparing to attack the city.

The firepower of the Austrian main force was unimaginable by the French army. Tens of thousands of rockets exploded so that the French army could not even lift its head.

They finally raised their heads and saw the ferocious beasts flying in the sky and the neatly moving phalanx below. This was a fatal blow to the morale of the French army.

However, what is even more terrible is the uprising of the former Sardinian army and people in the city of Turin. They have long been unable to bear the oppression of the French. Before, they were just taking advantage of the strong strength of the French army.

The Austrians are also an invincible presence in the hearts of the Sardinians. The arrival of the Austrian army at this time is the best time for the Sardinians to take revenge.

The fact is exactly what they thought. The French army fighting with the Austrian army was unable to deploy troops in time to suppress the rebellion.

The rebels rushed to the Royal Palace of Turin and the shops on the street, frantically grabbing anything they could see.

In addition, everyone has a more important goal, and that is the initiator of everything-French Marshal Bellevue.

In addition to taking revenge on him, he could also sacrifice himself or his body to the Austrians outside the city, which must be a great achievement.

Suddenly there were rebels everywhere. The French troops in the palace guard looked at the dark crowd, the fire in the distance and the ferocious beasts among them. They instantly gave up their resistance and either surrendered or fled to become birds and beasts.

The remaining Sardinians naturally chose to join the rebels and rush to the palace together. Of course, there were also a small number of Bellevue's best friends, but they were quickly lost in the crowd.

However, when people rushed into the palace, Bellevue was nowhere to be seen. The angry people vented all their anger on this gorgeous palace.

At this time Bellevue had already left through the secret passage, and he couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the firelight rising from the city of Turin behind him.

Fame and wealth, beautiful cars, beautiful women, thousands of troops, all turned into a fleeting smoke in an instant.

Before Bellevue had time to sigh, he heard a burst of gunfire, and dozens of his cronies beside him were all shot to death.

Bellevue himself was shot twice and collapsed to the ground. Only then did he realize that he was attacked by a group of people dressed as monks.

They were applying wounds to the corpse, one in the heart and one in the head, and they seemed to be chanting the Requiem.

“Lord, grant them eternal rest and let eternal light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.

Amen. "

Seeing this group of people approaching him, Bellevue shouted.

"Who are you? Don't come here! I can give you whatever you want."

Before Bellvi could finish his words, his palm was pierced by a chained throwing knife, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

The one who threw the throwing knife was a nun in black robe. She slowly approached Bellevue and wrapped a chain around Bellevue's neck. The latter immediately struggled and spoke with difficulty.

"Who are you?"

"Want to know?"

the nun asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you!"

Then the nun hanged Bellevue from a nearby tree, and then a monk shot Bellevue in the forehead and chest.

News of Bellevue's death soon spread back to France, and Cavaignac could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Belvie committed suicide out of fear of crime. It's time for the peace-loving French people to take action!"

Under Cavaignac's control, major newspapers in Paris and private pubs, cafes, and restaurants began to denounce Bellevue, the chief culprit who started the war.

Soon anti-war people took to the streets, and Cavaignac was at the forefront to put pressure on Parliament.

At this time, the members of the Paris National Assembly realized that Cavaignac wanted to throw away all the blame on himself. However, the situation was a foregone conclusion and the members could only be forced to accept peace.

Of course, there were also mavericks who refused to vote in favor. They were either beaten to death outside the gates of Parliament by the angry people, or Cavaignac tried every means to get rid of them.

No one cares about the reason and purpose of their doing this, and no one cares about the twists and turns in the process. Everyone only knows that they are opposed to peace and are enemies of France.

The war-torn French readily accepted peace, and Franz finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the French to contain them on land, the British strategy could no longer be realized. No one except the Hungarians themselves would think that they were more powerful and reliable than the French.

There is another important reason why Franz wants to fight this battle, which is to give the conservative forces in the German Confederation a breathing space.

After all, Franz's banner in this battle was to save his fellow German Confederates, so the nationalists had no reason not to participate. Their participation in the war would definitely weaken their power in their own country.

King William II of the Netherlands took the opportunity to counterattack and sent all the domestic nationalist parliaments to the shared colonies in southern Africa of the German Confederation.

Not only the German nationalists in the Netherlands were exiled, but also the Dutch nationalists, Wilhelm II, also did not let go.

1848 was a heavy blow to the Dutch royal family, not only because William II was ousted, but also because many members of the Dutch royal family died, including his favorite second son, Prince Alexander.

All of this is inseparable from the fighting between nationalists. At the same time, William II also understood one thing. Both sides just regarded him as a pawn, and no one cared about his feelings.

However, William II was ultimately a man who lacked courage and decision-making, and he only imposed collective exile.

What happened in the Netherlands is actually a microcosm of the states in 1848. Almost all states chose to hold it high and then put it down gently.

Franz knew the logic of these cowards and fools very well, so he didn't have high expectations for them from the beginning.

The war in the Kingdom of Sardinia has basically ended, so Carlo Alberto immediately asked the Austrian army to leave Sardinia.

Naturally, Franz would not do what he wanted. After all, the kingdom of Sardinia's repeated jumps between France and Austria would be a problem after all.

Of course, he would not really want to carve up the land of the Kingdom of Sardinia like that idiot in Bellevue, but it was still necessary for him to understand his situation and status.

The temporary prisoner-of-war camp set up by the Austrian army on the banks of the Ticino River was filled with French prisoners of war. It was precisely because of seeing these prisoners of war that Carlo Alberto felt that the crisis had been resolved and it was time to rebuild his rule.

But when he saw the ruins of the city of Turin, he was stunned. Previously, the Austrian army would not cause any damage wherever it passed, but now what he could see was a mess.

Carlo Alberto couldn't help asking loudly and angrily.

"What did your country's army do? Why are they so cruel? Why are they so violent?"

The officers of the Italian Legion of the Austrian Empire were very angry, and Marshal Radetzky waved his hand to stop the angry people.

"We liberated the Kingdom of Sardinia and restored your rule. As for this devastation, you should ask the French, not your benefactor."
