Chapter 370

In Sicily, in a manor house, Negary joined forces with the local revolutionaries.

"Mr. Gápoli, our strength was severely damaged after the last uprising. We won't be able to launch another armed uprising in the short term."

The local revolutionary leader, Drax, raised an objection. Revolutionary organizations in Sicily had a long history. In 1848, the Sicilian January Uprising was the prelude to the Great Revolution.

However, its influence in Europe was limited, and it wasn't long before it was suppressed. The outside world tacitly agreed that the February Revolution in France was the beginning of the Great Revolution.

In 1860, the Sicilian revolutionaries launched another armed uprising. When Gápoli heard the news, he formed the famous Red Shirts Army and entered Sicily, opening the curtains of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies' revolution.

Time and space had changed, and the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860 had fallen into French hands. Naturally, it was impossible for Gápoli to organize the Red Shirts Army.

Without a capable force, the armed uprising in Sicily was suppressed once again, and the local revolutionary organizations suffered heavy losses.

Drax was against starting an uprising now, but he had no choice. In recent years, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies government had been keeping a close eye on them, and the revolutionaries had no choice but to hide and didn't have the ability to expand their ranks.

Gápoli calmly said, "Mr. Drax, this is a very rare opportunity. The revolutionary organizations in Europe will start an uprising in January, and we can minimize the chances of the Great Powers intervening.

If we miss this opportunity, we won't just have to face the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies government, we'll also have to face the interference of the three Great Powers.

To be honest, I don't think there's any hope of victory in the face of the intervention of the three Great Powers, even if we're ten times or a hundred times stronger.

No matter how risky it is to start an uprising now, it's lower than when we face the intervention of the three Great Powers. If we miss this opportunity, we might never see the revolution succeed in our lifetimes. "

It was true that everyone started an uprising together, but it was hard to say how effective it would be. It was completely unknown whether the three Great Powers would intervene or not.

Gápoli wasn't sure either, which was why he chose Sicily as the first stop of the revolution. The Great Powers weren't philanthropists. They wouldn't help for nothing without ample benefits.

Unless they were certain that there was no way to suppress the rebellion, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies government would try their best to suppress it themselves and wouldn't ask for help from the outside world.

This was an opportunity. As long as they survived the most difficult period, even if the Great Powers intervened later, they would have gathered a certain amount of power and wouldn't be killed the moment they appeared.

Drax hesitated. The intervention of the Great Powers had always been their biggest concern. Some even proposed to keep the king to reduce the risk.

"Mr. Gabriel, we can cooperate with you, but I can only organize a hundred people at most to participate in the uprising."

This meant that Drax had relinquished control of the revolution. It was not that he did not want to fight for it, but he had no choice. There were many revolutionaries in Sicily, but not many could participate in the uprising.

Most, but but "Gabout, it, was, he., he. "G, Most in," Most, "God," Most, "Rebel."

Whether it was in terms of strength or reputation, Drax couldn't compare to Gabriel. It was inevitable that he would give up his dominance.

"…"

On January 5, 1865, the Italian National Salvation Army led by Gallipoli launched an armed uprising in Colleone. Because the rebels wore red shirts as a symbol, they were also known as the "Red Shirts".

Three days later the revolution began, and the Spanish Revolutionaries revolted at Elda.

Isabel II's life was full of love affairs, and her reputation among the people was very bad. Because his father passed away early, the monarch's education was lacking, and his performance in politics could be said to be clumsy.

Faced with endless revolutions and court conspiracies, she only knew to change governments frequently. In 25 years, Spain had 34 governments and seven constitutions.

If it weren't for Spain's solid foundation, it would have been destroyed. Against this background, conditions for revolutionary activities were created.

However, as the stronghold of the conservatives, Spain's traditional forces were very strong. Although they didn't like the fatuous and tyrannical Isabelle II, they hated the revolutionaries who broke the rules even more.

With the help of the conservatives, Isabelle II barely managed to maintain her rule. This support wasn't unlimited. In the end, the conservatives couldn't stand her anymore. In 1868, the Glorious Revolution broke out, and Isabelle II was forced into exile in France.

In Venetia, Stephen and the others finally organized a revolutionary team. Of course, most people didn't know that they had already joined the revolutionary party.

The Hungarian Independence Organization was broken up and recruited a large number of Italians in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Papal States, Lombardy, and Venetia under the banner of the Fao Colonization Company and gave them simple military training.

These colonization companies were real. Stephen and the others used the power of the Americans to register them in England and France.

They were good at acting, so they quickly adapted to their roles. It was also common in Austria for colonization companies to hire armed men to open up overseas colonies.

However, the Austrian colonization team rarely hired Italians. Even if they were hired, they were mostly sailors and laborers. They were rarely used on the battlefield.

The romanticized Italians were not suited for battle. This was the conclusion of many years of experience.

Of course, there would never be a lack of people who didn't believe it. Although the combat power of the Italians was doubted, they were cheap!

Their overall combat power was low, but there were a few exceptions. If he was lucky and selected carefully, it was still possible to hire Italians with strong combat abilities.

Looking at the large force gathered in his hands, Stephen fell into hesitation. He even wanted to try to launch an armed uprising. What if it succeeded?

He quickly dismissed the idea. Thousands of armed men gathered in Venetia. How could it not attract the attention of the local government?

If it wasn't for the fact that they had contacted the Austrian intelligence organization in advance, they would have been suppressed. They were not much better now. If it wasn't for Vienna's intention to eliminate dissidents, they wouldn't have had a chance.

Lombardy Venetia had always been the most unstable region in Austria. Of course, this instability didn't mean that there was an uprising every day. In fact, since the Great Revolution, there hadn't been an uprising with more than a hundred people.

It was mainly due to the awakening of nationalism in the Italian regions. Many Italian intellectuals, some capitalists, and the declining nobles still wanted independence.

These people had been secretly linking up, but they hadn't taken any substantial action. Austria, as a country with laws, naturally couldn't convict them just because they might have independence tendencies.

The role of Stephen and the others was reflected. Now they were constantly visiting the big shots in the region as merchants of the colonial company.

In the manor outside Milan, the members of the Hungarian independence organization gathered in twos and threes. Prudence complained, "I'm exhausted. I finally completed the task. I don't know if it was right or wrong."

Mariut sneered, "Since you've made a decision, you can't regret it. After this show, we'll be free men. "

Once people gave up the bottom line, there was nothing they couldn't do. In order to disappear from the list of political prisoners in Austria, they had to choose to cooperate.

Stephen said cautiously, "Well, since these people have been targeted, even if we didn't, there would be other revolutionary organizations looking for them.

Anyway, they'll be in trouble sooner or later. It's better to make use of waste and get out of it for us.

Now we've visited the people in Lombardy and Venetia. The next step is Hungary, but in order to avoid complications, we won't go there ourselves.

Give the list to the people below and ask them to contact these members to launch an armed uprising. Everyone, go make your own arrangements!

He reminded them carefully not to let them lose the name list. It's the result of years of operation of our independent organization. "

Looking at Stephen's serious face, everyone was too lazy to complain. It was indeed the result of years of operation. The list was provided by the Austrian intelligence organization, and they were only responsible for connecting the people.

No, it wasn't connecting. To be exact, it was dragging these people into the water.

Now that the situation in Austria was stable, there was no future for a rebellion at this time. These people, who were deeply influenced by nationalism and wanted independence, didn't dare to make trouble.

But they were secretly promoting nationalism, which Franz couldn't tolerate. The enemies on the surface weren't scary, but the enemies in the dark were always the most difficult to deal with.

Based on the principle of striking first, since these people wanted to be independent, he would give them a chance. It just so happened that the Hungarian independence organization came to his door, so Franz decided to let them join the organization.

Even if they weren't Hungarians, they could still collude with the Hungarian independence organization. In short, Franz wouldn't give these people a chance to grow.

Stephen and the others now had families and businesses, so they didn't want to continue the revolution. He also needed an explanation to the Americans, to prove that they hadn't taken money for nothing over the years, and that both sides were taking what they needed.

The thousands of Italian mercenaries were a bunch of unlucky people. They had nothing to do with it, but now they were involved in a muddle-headed way.

How could there not be a major case when a large number of rebels were involved at once? And they were the initiators of this major case. Thousands of armed men rebelled, which was enough to drag everyone involved in it.

Mariut echoed, "Mr. Stephen is right. The Spanish Revolutionary Party and the Italian Revolutionary Party have both rebelled. Now it's our turn to revolution."

It was indeed a revolution, but the revolutionary's fate had changed. If they wanted to put on a show, they had to go through with it. They had fabricated many letters from important people.

Now, they were just one step away. According to the script, they encountered an accident, leaked information, and were forced to rebel in advance. Then they were suppressed and finally exiled overseas.

Since they encountered an accident, there was naturally no time to destroy these letters. When the time came, these letters and the secret meetings before the outbreak of the rebellion would be evidence that these people supported the rebellion.

Stephen said seriously, "Now everyone go and get ready! According to the agreed time, we will launch an armed uprising at 4: 30 in the morning on February 15, 1865. Everyone must inform everyone of the news. "
