Chapter 297: Napoleon was assassinated

On August 10, 1858, Napoleon III and his wife were assassinated on their way to the Paris Opera House, and there was a commotion in Europe.

Everyone still remembers the bad luck Bismarck who was assassinated a few months ago. The Tsarist government found the Polish independent organization, which involved political struggles in the country. The Prussian government did not delve into it, and things passed.

Napoleon III is not a small character like Bismarck, but assassination of a country's monarch is a taboo, this matter is troublesome.

Vienna

After receiving this news, Franz's first reaction was to lie down. Under his butterfly effect, Napoleon III ascended the throne in advance, and actually caught up with the assassination.

Franz asked with concern: "Have the Napoleon III been shot?"

It is not that he is unscrupulous. In the history of the "Orsini assassination incident", there were many doubts. After being assassinated by a Sardinian Italian, Napoleon III and the Kingdom of Sardinia attacked Austria again.

The most normal operation should be to use this as an excuse to directly blame the kingdom of Sardinia, forcing them to cede compensation, or directly send troops to occupy the kingdom of Sardinia.

As a result, Napoleon III not only took the majesty of his monarch to pardon the assassins, but also went to help the Kingdom of Sardinia hit Austria and contribute to the unification of Italy.

Such a mentally dreadful operation, dare not write it like this in third-rate novels?

Unless the assassination was self-directed, in order to draw Austria into the pit, Napoleon III's brain really got into the water.

Of course, if it was self-directed and self-acting, Napoleon III was also flooding his head. Because he was not helpless, he was paid after the war, and the Italians did not appreciate him.

As a result of the Franco-Austrian war, France was politically isolated. At the same time, the two countries clashed with Austria and Italy. During the Franco-Prussian War, the two countries retaliated.

Tyren replied: "It is not clear that the French blocked the news and left blood on the scene, but it was not clear who was shot.

According to our secret information from the French government, the murderer appeared to have been arrested shortly after the assassination, and the identity is still unknown. "

Franz sneered: "First find out if something happened to Napoleon III. The murderer fell into the hands of the French. Their identity is not theirs!"

There was no way, Napoleon III did a lot of draughts, and Franz didn't know what would happen next.

In another time and space, without his selfless dedication, the United States, Italy, and Germany would not be so easy to unify, or even impossible.

The success of Bismarck, Gaffel, and Lincoln was based on the sudden convulsion of Napoleon III's head. Otherwise, none of these three will be associated with "great", and it is more likely that they will be on the gallows.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tyron replied

...

Berlin

The news of the assassination of Napoleon III came, and the Prussian government began to feel nervous.

The French's peep into the Rhineland is almost universally known. The fact that the six-tier army of the Kingdom of Prussia is now deployed in the Rhineland region is enough to illustrate the problem.

At other times, France wants to do something and European countries interfere. This time is different. If there is evidence that the assassination is related to the Kingdom of Prussia, then the Vienna system cannot stop the French.

Motivationally, it is very likely that the killer is a German, because the French intervention has lost the chance of reunification in the German region. There is enthusiasm for nationalist revenge, which is perfectly normal.

Foreign Minister Andrea explained: "His Royal Highness need not worry, this assassination was not planned by us, and even if the French wanted to bite, we could not rely on us.

The Vienna system was just established, and the French launched a war on far-fetched grounds, which would be hostile to all countries unless they were not afraid of a second anti-French alliance. "

Prince William-Frederick-Ludwig nodded his head. The French do not have a high chance of doing things at this time. It is not in their interest to break the Vienna system.

Vigilance is just an instinctive reaction. This is the aftermath of Napoleon's beatings on Europe. Even if time has passed, everyone is still very afraid of France.

"Well, under normal circumstances, the French will not take action, but we still cannot take it lightly and order the frontline troops to be more vigilant and don't leave the French an opportunity."

Although the world's first army power is still the Russians, the performance of the French Army in the Near East War still made most people think that the French combat effectiveness is the world's first, and the Russians can only suppress them by quantity.

There is also Franz's handwriting, which deliberately exaggerated the strength of the French, so that everyone's understanding of the French army stayed in the Napoleonic era.

This misunderstanding allowed the French to be restrained everywhere in diplomacy. Due to diplomatic pressure, Napoleon III rarely did anything on the European continent after his succession.

Even if they are jealous of Rhineland and Belgium, they have not taken any actual action.

It is obviously impossible to lift this lid. Napoleon III's government in the bureau did not know that the current combat effectiveness of the French army was not as great as it was then.

This is not a training gap, but an army soul that was not cast in the Napoleonic era. Especially after the tragedy of the Near East War, the morale inspired by the French army was almost exhausted.

However, due to the high casualty exchange rate between the two sides, the French army still maintained its reputation.

The only way to pierce this tiger skin is to fight a powerful country, and if you lose, you will be exposed. However, under the Vienna system, the chances of big countries to work directly are too low.

It's not just the Prussian government that is worrying. The Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Belgium are equally worried. Everyone is praying that the murderer should never have anything to do with his family.

Time passed minute by minute, and the assassination of Napoleon finally had the answer. On August 15, 1858, the French government announced the merits. The murderers were four Italians.

Upon seeing the name, Franz was speechless or the four Italian heroes in history, but this time they were unlucky, afraid that they could not wait for a pardon order.

Although the Napoleon III couple was okay, three of the accompanying guards were shot and one died on the spot.

If Napoleon III pardons the assassin again, he will probably be chilled.

Whether to consolidate the majesty of the monarch or to benefit him, he is looking for trouble in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Who will let the Kingdom of Sardinia border with them?

In the current international situation, it is too difficult for the French to expand on the European continent. Looking around, the best thing to bully is the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Now there are ready-made excuses at the door, and the French government will not give up without biting a piece of meat.

Originally preparing to order the frontline troops to prepare for battle, Franz gave up. If Napoleon III had a head blow, it would be better to take it home.

It is not necessary to consider the gains and losses of a city and a place. If the French were to target Austria, then Franz wouldn't mind attracting the king.

Limited to transportation and logistical supplies, the war of national destruction cannot be fought at all now. The difference in power between France and Austria is not large. Basically, whoever fights on the land of the war has a high chance of winning.

If the French main force can be flickered out, Franz does not mind first deliberately pretending to form an anti-French alliance to interrupt the French backbone at one time.
