The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 789 Aid?
The decision to support the canton of Friborg was signed by the new State Representative Konstantin Siegvoort with the support of the cantonal representatives.

It has been a week since the news reached Archduke Karl. In fact, it was also instructed by Minofir. After all, the former is an Austrian Grand Duke. If there is a dispute with him, it may destroy the harmony within the alliance.

"Grand Duke Karl, that's what happened. Bishop Minofer completely disrupted your deployment and took a lot of troops and supplies to Friborg."

Captain Ulrich Sallis recounted the matter exactly, and said apologetically that he was afraid that the old general would just give up the pick. After all, Bishop Minofer's previous arrangement was wasted. .

Captain Ulrich Salis is currently acting as the field marshal of the Swiss Orthodox Alliance, because the Orthodox Alliance really lacks a commander, and this has nothing to do with studying in Austria.

Minofir took away two-thirds of the Swiss Legitimacy Alliance's strength in one breath, but Archduke Karl was not angry, on the contrary, he let out a sigh of relief.

Because the quality of the Swiss army is too low, most of the [-] troops of the Orthodox Alliance are farmers and unemployed craftsmen.

Due to the lack of officers in the Orthodox Alliance, the lack of crisis awareness, and the lack of supplies, most of these soldiers have never even fired a gun, let alone systematic training.

Moreover, these soldiers have obvious geographical characteristics, and they are severely divided among each other. They are timid in public battles, brave in private battles, difficult to command, and often disturb the people.

"Except for the security and logistics forces, he can take them all away."

Marshal Ulrich Salis thought he had heard wrong.

"That's not good."

"It's nothing bad, they can't help here except wasting food."

Marshal Ulrich Salis thought that Archduke Karl was talking angrily.

"Grand Duke Karl, don't worry. I will definitely try my best to recruit another army for you. I promise. We have already asked for help from neighboring countries, and I believe that the help will arrive soon."

The reality is that the Legitimacy Alliance did send a signal for help to the surrounding countries, hoping that the Great Powers would provide military support, but the armies of the Great Powers were threatened by the Freedom Alliance.

Joseph Lowy stated that if the troops of the great powers dared to enter Switzerland, the Freedom Alliance would blow up all the passages leading to the outside world in Switzerland.

At the same time, Britain's credentials also arrived, reaffirming Britain's position that it did not want any country to intervene in the Swiss civil war.

In fact, at this time, the Liberal Alliance launched the war in the name of demanding that the Orthodox Alliance fulfill its promise of unified taxation, not to annex the other side.

This directly circumvented the previous "1843 Agreement" initiated by the Austrian Empire, that is, "only if the 1815 treaty is not violated, the inviolability of the neutrality of the Swiss Confederation will be respected.

If the Swiss Confederation cannot strictly abide by the content of the treaty, Austria will have the right to withdraw its previous commitments. "

Among them, the French were the first to respond to the Swiss Orthodox Alliance. This behavior of Louis Philippe was not only to seize the opportunity, win over allies, but also to please the domestic church.

Louis-Philippe very much hopes to win over Switzerland as an ally. After all, at this time, the old rivals of Germany and coastal lowland Austria have already taken advantage, and the Kingdom of Sardinia in Italy is also its in-laws.

So Switzerland has become an important target to fight for. After all, if there is a war between France and Austria one day, and the three roads are unilaterally facing Austria, then this battle will be too difficult to fight.

However, it was threatened twice by Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and at the same time, the Austrian Empire did not make much action.

The French cabinet began to weigh seriously. After all, if France sent troops at this time, would it be considered a destruction of the Vienna system in 1815?

So Soult was more hesitant than Louis-Philippe. The former just wanted to retire honorably, didn't want to get into any trouble in his later years, and didn't care about any bullshit honor, as long as he didn't lose his security at the end of the year.However, the current situation is that as long as he is a little careless, he may not be safe at the end of the festival. Historically, it was Guizot who strongly advocated supporting Switzerland, but this man is still in North America at this time, so he cannot participate in this incident.

There was silence in the cabinet of the July Dynasty, and no one wanted to be this early bird, but everyone knew that if Switzerland continued to fall to the Habsburg side, what awaited France would be a three-pronged ending.

In the end, a young officer named Charles expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, and distinguished ministers. France cannot lose Switzerland as an ally."

"Do you need to say that?" A cabinet member interrupted rudely. The Bonapartists have always been an anomaly in the July Dynasty, but in the final analysis, the dynasty itself is an anomaly.

The young military officer was not as enthusiastic as an ordinary young military officer, but analyzed the situation like a seasoned politician. Of course, everyone knows these things well, so I won’t repeat them too much.

Finally he gave his advice.

"We can also have a volunteer army like the Austrians."

"Then who will lead the team?"

The former cabinet member said again that because of such non-government behavior, not only may not be recognized by the government, but even pensions may not be obtained.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go. Long live France!"

The cabinet member had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. After all, it would be best if someone was willing to do such a life-threatening thing.

Louis Philippe couldn't help but take a second look at this young man named Charles. He was also the one who handled crisis management when the German mission came to visit.

The former patted the latter on the shoulder and said.

"You are capable of both literary and military skills. You are truly a role model for the younger generation in France. Come back alive and I will promote you to the rank of general."

Theoretically speaking, Louis Philippe did have this power at this time, but it was just a matter of whether he should use it and whether the army would accept it.

Although the scene of being ordered to go into danger and going deep alone is very touching, the IQ of the French commander at this time is equally touching.

For example, they want to send a batch of weapons to help the Swiss Orthodox Alliance, but when they leave Nazjatar, Switzerland, they will not only have to pay taxes to King Pu, but after they leave Nazjatar, they will be paid by the states of the Free Alliance.

At the same time, the French High Command is also studying the delivery of supplies and weapons from Lake Geneva in Switzerland. After all, heavy artillery or something, the mountain road of Nazjatar is too slow.

As a result, France's weapons and material assistance to the Orthodox Alliance have become enemies. The most important thing is that Dufour finally obtained the heavy artillery he was thinking of.

Note: At that time, the level of Swiss weapons was very low, and only some simple smoothbore weapons could be produced. After all, the quality of ironware was extremely poor, and there was often a risk of bombing.

Of the 5000 volunteers, only 1000 and [-] of Colonel Charles managed to sneak into Switzerland.

Although there are many French people in Switzerland, these people are basically Protestants, and their living habits and accents are also different. It is still very easy for locals to distinguish them from the French.
