Chapter 363
The Bronx, one of the main gathering places for Italians in the United States, is also the stronghold of Italian independent organizations.
Compared with other revolutionary groups, the Italian independent organization is really lively. Originally, they had leaders, and the most influential coal-burning party in the revolutionary group was the main force, and its influence spread all over Italy.
With the outbreak of the assassination of the king, the Charcoal Party has become the most well-known terrorist organization in the world, and even the kingdom of Sardinia, which is regarded as a place of hope, has been destroyed.
The Italian revolutionary group also split. Originally, the Carbon Burning Party was the boss, but it was because they were powerful and influential. It did not mean that everyone was really obedient.
Now that something has happened, one by one will of course be cut off with the charcoal-burning party. With the name of a coal burning party, even if the revolution succeeds, the coalition forces will be intervened to death.
Even overseas, members of the Charcoal Party dare not disclose their identities. They are not wanted by one or two countries, they are on the blacklist of all the monarchies in Europe, even in the United States they must remain anonymous.
After the exile, the Charcoal Party erupted into fierce infighting. Everyone accused the blame and criticized the other party for their reckless actions, which ruined the great situation in Italy.
Anyway, the assassination case was planned by someone else and has nothing to do with me.
External attacks and internal struggles, the brilliant coal burning party naturally split, and now: the Italian National Salvation Army, the Italian National Salvation Association, the Italian Liberal Party, the Italian Mafia...
Don't get me wrong, the Italian mafia of this era was not the gangster organization of later generations, and played a very important role in the process of Italian independence.
(Note: The Italian name for "Mafia" is "mortoallafrancia, italiaanela" abbreviated as "mafia", which means: destroying France is Italy's thirst")
After the Kingdom of Sardinia was occupied by France, anti-French became the biggest enemy of Italians. The "Italian Mafia" used the slogan of the Sicilian people against the French invaders 600 years ago.
After the split, the coal burning party is far less influential and powerful than it was at the beginning. Because of their different ideas, different revolutionary organizations also have different ways of doing things.
At the beginning, most of the Italian revolutionaries were active in the European continent, especially Paris was the most popular. To trouble Austria, France has been their biggest benefactor.
Things can always change, and after the assassination of the king broke out, their life was not easy. At that time, the French government decided to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, and these revolutionary organizations became hidden dangers.
If the people of Paris were not too enthusiastic and tipped off in advance, most of the backbones of these revolutionary organizations would have fallen into the hands of the French government.
As the impact of the assassination case fermented, many people discovered that the situation was not right and fled the European continent one after another.
At this time, it is also helpless for everyone to choose the United States. Making a revolution also requires capital. Originally, the British were a good funder, but the trouble was too great, and the diplomatic pressure exerted by France and Austria was too great, and the London government could not stand it.
After all, this kind of thing can be done secretly, if it goes too far, it will only hurt both parties. The British could support the Italian Revolutionary Party, and Fao could support the Irish Independent.
Exile in the United States is different. First of all, the distance is far enough, and it is difficult for everyone to find the French and Austrian countries. Second, there are many Italian immigrants in the United States, and there are sufficient human resources and financial support.
Now the Italian revolutionary organizations use the cover of local gangs, and the federal government pretends not to see it. The wanted list of the joint investigation team is just a display here.
Goulart, one of the Italian-American immigrant leaders, asked: "Everyone, what do you think of the American proposal?"
Many people are powerful. Although Italians are discriminated against in the United States, there are also millions of people. The social influence is not comparable to the Poles and Hungarians.
Naturally, the federal government could not make a rude threat, but instead cooperated, that is: funding them, arms and ammunition, in exchange for them to launch an uprising in the Italian region.
Gabriel, the leader of the Italian National Salvation Army, suggested: "Anyway, we will have to launch an uprising sooner or later. Having American funding can also reduce everyone's burden, and you can promise them."
No way, after France occupied the Kingdom of Sardinia, Gabriel and his supporters were unwilling to admit defeat and launched an armed uprising.
Next, there is no doubt that the insurgent army was taken care of by the French army in three or five times.
The uprising failed and became a wanted man for the French, and the Italian region could not stay. On the issue of fighting the Italian revolutionary organization, France and Austria have reached an agreement, and the European continent is not safe.
After the outbreak of the Polish uprising, the Italian independent organization was stimulated, and the armed revolutionaries headed by Gabriel could not sit still and wanted to continue the armed uprising.
Antonio, the leader of the Italian Liberal Party, objected: "But now Fao is so powerful that even if the uprising succeeds, it will not be able to stop their counterattack.
Before the situation on the European continent has changed, we should not act rashly, lest the precious revolutionary forces be wasted in vain. "
This is the opinion of most people. Looking at the revolutionary organizations of various countries, the situation in Italy is the worst except for Poland.
Although Poland is occupied by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, as long as the revolutionaries calm down, they are only fighting for independence in Russia, and they have the support of European countries. There is only one enemy in the short term.
It would be a tragedy for Italy to become independent
Spain is a hindrance, many European countries sympathize with them, but few dare to support them.
Including the British who originally supported them, they have now suspended their support. There is no doubt that John Bull did not think that they could overthrow the two mountains of Fao and unify the Italian region.
In this context, the success rate of launching an uprising is low, and it is easy to get burned. Don't think that you are safe in the United States. Get in a hurry. France and Austria have organized coalition forces to directly land in New York to find their bad luck.
In this era, the great powers are so domineering. They didn't make a big fight before, that's because they didn't pay attention to them, and it's not worth fighting with them.
But if they are in a hurry, Paris and Vienna will kill them at any cost, and the current US federal government has no ability to protect them.
If Fao is willing to compromise with the federal government now, maybe tomorrow they will be deported as wanted criminals. Politicians' promises are only valid within the scope of their own interests.
Gabriel explained: "We only promised an uprising in Italy, but not where.
In areas such as Sardinia, Lombardy, and Venice, the strength of the enemy is so strong that we have no chance of success at all.
But what about another way of thinking? Why must it be difficult first and then easy? Can't we go to areas where the enemy's strength is weak?
The lessons of history have taught us that the road to unification of Italy from the northern Italian region cannot succeed.
Why did the kingdom of Sardinia fail? It's not that you found the wrong target from the start!
What if in 1848, instead of Lombardy and Venice, we attacked Central Italy and Southern Italy first?
At that time, France and Austria were deeply involved in the revolution and could not intervene. We first unified the central and southern Italian regions, and finally left Lombardy and Venice. Can the French still swallow us? "
Everyone can reflect, although there is a bit of hindsight, but everyone has to admit that the strategic thinking from the beginning was wrong.
The Sardinian Kingdom made a strategic mistake, and many people present were credited. Take it for granted that Austria is vulnerable and can easily defeat them and then unify the Italian region.
Under this misunderstanding, everyone manipulated public opinion to force the government to launch the Ossa War, and then ruined the national fortune of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
What's even more pitiful is that the assassination of the king planned by an unknown genius directly buried the Kingdom of Sardinia, making the road to Italian unification even more distant.
Italian Mafia leader Vargis asked suspiciously: "It's not that easy, the central and southern Italy is also controlled by foreign powers, once we launch an uprising, Austria, Spain, and France may all send troops to intervene.
The current chaos in Europe is not enough to keep them from reaching out. No matter which family sends troops, we can't handle it. "
Gabriel smiled coldly and said, "What's there to be afraid of, this uprising is not just us.
Americans want to ease the pressure they are facing, and it is impossible for us to be the only one who supports them. The French Revolutionary Party, the Spanish Revolutionary Party, the Hungarian Independence Organization, etc. are all our allies.
When everyone launches it together, the enemy will also prioritize. As long as we have defeated those rotten Italian states, we have succeeded in the first step.
After unifying the central and southern Italian regions, we are also a medium-sized country, and even France and Austria cannot swallow us all at once. Taking advantage of the contradictions between European countries, we can survive.
Once you have the capital, you will slowly build up your strength and look for suitable opportunities to unify the entire Italian region. "
This is to boost morale. There are many revolutionary organizations in Europe, but few really have strength.
The Polish Independence Organization is already in action, and it is very hard to fight with the Russians, and it is impossible to count on it.
The revolutionary enthusiasm of the French Revolutionary Party has been greatly reduced recently. Stimulated by the annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia, many people have turned to fans and began to support the rule of Napoleon III.
The Irish Independence Organization has nothing to do with them, the UK is not an obstacle to Italian independence, and the two sides have no basis for cooperative interests.
The Spanish Revolutionary Party has been persevering in the struggle, and uprisings are commonplace. Their base is in Spain, and there is only a small branch in the United States.
It is estimated that the one that can complete the containment task is the Spanish Revolutionary Party. The question is why do people help? Don't think that the world's revolutionary organizations are really one family, and that there are many conflicts in the face of interests.
The most typical example is the conflict between the French Revolutionary Party and the Italian Revolutionary Party. The radical idea of Greater France includes the Italian region, and the French Revolutionary Party also mostly supports Napoleon III's annexation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Conflict arises, and it is still irreconcilable. Besides, French revolutions were almost always so dramatic that they didn't need their leadership at all.
As long as the monarch was angry, or suddenly angry with them, as long as there was an uprising, the people of Paris would spontaneously participate.
For details, you can refer to the February Revolution. After the demonstration, a few people beat up a few policemen in anger and declared the revolution. From the beginning of the uprising to the success of the revolution, the number of casualties was less than 10.
This jaw-dropping revolutionary movement is unique to France. Other countries can't learn it at all. If anyone does learn it, they will keep corpses everywhere.
The bloodshed of the French Revolution usually took place after the revolution.
Before that, or in the course of the revolution, the death of thousands of people would be considered heavy casualties; but in the later period of struggle, if tens of thousands of people died, it would be embarrassing to call it a revolution.
add
Pori has long wanted to revolt in Sicily, but unfortunately his strength is not good, and there are too few supporters to be sure.
After all, the Kingdom of Sardinia is gone, even if you want to gather a red shirt army of 1,000 people, it is not an easy task.
Military spending and personnel aside, how to get people to their destination is a huge problem. If no one cooperates, they may be sent to the sea to feed the fish on the way.
Even if they landed in batches, without the cooperation and cover of the local revolutionary organizations, such a big move could not be hidden from the eyes of the rulers.
...
After some heated arguments, everyone finally decided to do it. Everyone agreed to launch an armed uprising in central and southern Italy. As for Sardinia, Lombardy, and Venice, whoever likes these hard bones will go.
Even if the entire Italian region is not unified, many people are satisfied with the ability to unify the central and southern regions. After all, they just used this slogan to fool ordinary people, and if they took it seriously, they would be stupid.
The Italian region has never been unified, and now it is only driven by capitalists for their own interests. Don't think that the Italian people agree with the great unification.
...
During this period of time, the United States was not calm, and many revolutionary organizations exiled here were meeting and discussing. There are those who decide to take action, and there are those who sit on the sidelines.
