If Prime Minister Cavour were facing the historical Napoleon III, or any member of the Bonaparte Clan who was not a time traveler, his ideas would not be wrong. In the eyes of the vast majority of the French, the Austrian Empire posed a greater threat than the Kingdom of Prussia. The battle in 1851 was enough to show the power disparity between Austria and Prussia.
But unfortunately, Cavour did not know that he was facing a man from the future with clairvoyance, and his schemes were destined to be illusions.
However, at present, Cavour did not know that in the heart of the Emperor of France, Sardinia's weight was far beyond what Austria could match.
Based on opportunistic diplomacy, Cavour could only attempt to persuade his own king to join the ranks of the Anglo-French Alliance.
As long as Sardinia stood with Britain and France, the Austrian Empire would certainly not dare to act rashly.
