War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Geneva, Switzerland.

The delegation of the Orthodox Alliance once again came to the temporary meeting place of the Federal Parliament, and the representative of the Liberal Alliance was still Joseph Loy.

There was still no consultation or negotiation, not even a cup of coffee. Joseph Loy threw a draft document to the representatives of the Orthodox Union.

The representatives looked at each other, confused. But he still carefully picked up the document that was deliberately thrown away. There were two short sentences on it:

"End the civil war and dissolve the Orthodox Alliance."

Representatives from the states of the Orthodox Union were even more confused.

"The negotiations haven't started yet! Have you already drawn up an agreement?" an Orthodox Alliance representative asked angrily.

Joseph Roy sat leisurely in his seat and answered softly.

"No, it's over."

"You have gone too far! You have no sincerity at all! I will not sign this agreement! Let's see the outcome on the battlefield!"

The representative who spoke before stood up angrily and prepared to leave, and the representatives of the surrounding Orthodox Alliance also stood up one after another.

But they were not able to leave, but were forced back to their seats by two Free Alliance soldiers with bayonets.

Joseph Loy asked calmly: "Are you going to start a civil war?"

"It's you who want to provoke a civil war!" the Valais representative replied angrily.

"No, I am giving you a chance. Whether it is peace or war, I hope you can choose carefully."

"We will not accept your peace, we are federal MPs and you have no right to restrict our personal freedoms and ask us to leave."

"Sir, what's your name?" Joseph Loy asked politely.

"Representative of the Canton of Valais, Hulocker"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a "bang" and the man fell down, clutching his chest.

The gun in Joseph Loy's hand was still smoking. Sister Brandi who was present immediately let out a scream. The remaining deputies wanted to escape, but were stopped by the guards.

"Quiet! Quiet! Shut up!!!" Joseph Roy roared, and the room finally became quiet.

"I just executed the traitors who disrupted the peace. You can choose to sign here, so that you can still retain your official position and corresponding treatment.

But if you want to destroy the peace of the peaceful country, Mr. Hulokell will be your fate. Okay, I don't want to waste time, please give me an answer before I finish smoking this cigarette, okay? "

Joseph Loy lit a cigar and started smoking.

He looked relaxed and content, but the representatives of the Orthodox Alliance were sweating profusely and trembling all over.

Finally, the representative of the canton of St. Gallen walked over to the agreement and signed his name, then the representative of the canton of Aargau also walked over, and then the representative of the canton of Ticcheneau

As soon as everyone saw someone signing, they stepped forward to sign their names and stamped the seal of their state government.

In the end, only Sister Brandi from Lucerne was left who refused to sign.

Joseph Loy was very satisfied. In fact, the representatives of the three states of St. Gallen, Aargau, and Ticeno had already been bribed by him. Only two states refused to sign, which was far beyond his expectation.

But he still had to curse in his heart, "A bunch of weaklings are worse than a woman. If the virtue of the Orthodox Alliance does not perish, it would be unjust."

"Except Miss Brandi, you can all leave."

Three days later, officials of the Free Alliance went to take over the states of the Orthodox Union with the agreement between the two parties, but they were rejected.

The reason is that there is no signature or seal of the state representative. This time the Orthodox Alliance is smarter. They only recognize documents signed by the state representative and state governments.

January 26, 1847.

After negotiations between the two sides failed, Joseph Loy declared the Orthodox Alliance unconstitutional, and the war officially began.

When the news reached Friborg, the officers of the Orthodox Alliance could not help but admire the "Invincible" Bishop Minofel.

The bishop had anticipated that the Free Alliance would launch a war before the negotiations began, so at this time the Freeburg State had well-equipped troops and strong fortresses.

And the troops of the Free Alliance really began to encircle them on all sides, just as the bishop said.

Now as long as Bishop Minofel said the same thing and concentrated his troops to break through a little bit, victory in the war would be just around the corner.

Faced with the adulation of the crowd, Bishop Minofel showed extraordinary magnanimity and raised his hand to stop the noise.

"Soldiers! Evil heretics have surrounded us! But the light of the Lord is everywhere!"

"eghieghoa!" (All kinds of noisy cheers, because in addition to the three languages ​​​​of German, Italian and French there are a lot of dialects.)

"We have only fifty thousand soldiers in Friborg at this time, but the heretics who besiege us have an army of one hundred thousand. But our fifty thousand are like a fist, and their one hundred thousand are like a blank sheet of paper.

As long as we poke with our hands, we can break through their defense! Soldiers, follow me on the expedition! Suppress the heretics! "

"victory!"

"Long live!"

At the beginning of the war, the Swiss Confederation of Free Arms made Henri Dufour commander-in-chief of the Free Army and the rank of general.

To be honest, this veteran who participated in the French Revolution really didn't want to be stained with the blood of his own countrymen, but he knew very well that there were not many experienced generals in Switzerland.

This is not to say that the Swiss have never fought in battles, but they have never fought in regimental battles, or even commanded a team of tens of thousands of people.

As soon as he took office, Dufour stated that he would "minimize the evils caused by war."

His tactics were quite satisfactory. He first concentrated the main force to capture the isolated area of ​​Friborg.

However, before Dufour's main force was assembled, he received news that the northern fortress of Friborg was attacked.

North of Fribourg, Free League Fortress.

This time Bishop Minofel almost launched an attack with his entire army. Facing a fortress with no more than 500 troops, 50,000 troops appeared confident.

Although the war has not yet started, the Jesuit priests have already begun to sing praises for the bishop.

The officers of the Orthodox Alliance were also very confident, and they begged Bishop Minofel to speak in front of the battle. The latter naturally agreed happily. After all, such achievements as the recovery of the Holy City are not common.

Bishop Minofel was very eloquent and could speak for two hours, enough time for the defenders to block the road with stones and trees.

——

This is the orthodox alliance soldier who is watching the enemy blocking the road——

After walking on the mountain road for a long time, Bishop Minofel was already thirsty. After talking for such a long time, he had to ask the attendant to bring him a glass of honey water and drink it in one gulp.

"Soldiers! I know that you are afraid and scared. This is human nature. So His Majesty the Pope has specially prepared this for you!"

At this time, Bishop Minofil asked his Jesuit priests to carry several heavy boxes, which even stirred up dust when they landed on the ground.

The soldiers in the audience began to whisper.

"His Majesty the Pope actually prepared a reward for us."

"Long live His Majesty the Pope!"

Several Orthodox Alliance officials also felt that the Papal State was still the most powerful, and the surrounding countries did not send aid. It seemed that only God could be trusted.

(In fact, all the aid was sent to the enemy, but they didn’t know it yet.)

Also guess what’s in the box?
