In response to Sardinia's request for aid, the somewhat blunt Major General Trox sternly pointed at the Sardinian Kingdom officer's chest and reprimanded, "What is going on with you Sardinians? Faced with the same sudden shelling, why is your army still not ready, while our French Army can quickly organize a counterattack!"
Major General Trox's reprimand left the Sardinian Kingdom officer feeling a wave of shame.
The French Empire had indeed done its utmost for the Sardinian Kingdom. His Majesty the Emperor not only did not treat them disrespectfully as traditional vassal states but also equipped them with an artillery legion and thirty heavy cannons. He once heard Marshal La Malamor say that His Majesty had transported a total of fifty heavy cannons from France, leaving Sardinia with thirty and themselves with only twenty.
