Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Vol 4 Chapter 95: Buried nail

The sudden world war not only disrupted the strategic layout of the Italians, it was also a disastrous start for Vittorio Emmanuel III.

In a state of persecution, he took the Kingdom of Italy to war and lived a life of fright.

"Misunderstanding" is a true portrayal of this war. First, the Allies took the upper hand, then the Allies took the upper hand, and then the Allies took the upper hand.

The two alliances seem to be taking turns, and they are madly stimulating people's nerves.

Unfortunately, Vittorio Emmanuel III is not an ordinary person. As King of Italy, he knows more than ordinary people.

He may not be able to judge who will win the final victory in the Allies and Allies, but he knows that the Kingdom of Italy is now at stake.

In other words, from the moment the navy was severely damaged, the Kingdom of Italy was in a state of danger. After the Allies had control of the sea, they could land on the 6 Apennine Peninsula at any time.

Either out of hatred or for the benefit, King Vittorio Emmanuel III chose to send troops to France, ready to join the Germans to kill the French and win the world war.

The joint military action of Britain, France, and France in the Mediterranean is undoubtedly an indication that they are going to attack the Kingdom of Italy. Sardinia is just the beginning, and Rome may be their real goal!

"Similarly, how is the situation on the eastern front, how long will it take for the Germans to defeat the Russians?" Asked Vittorio Emanuele III

I thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Germans are making good progress. They have already killed more than half of the Russians.

Unfortunately, the waste of the Austro-Hungarian Empire dragged their hind legs. Instead of defeating the Russian Southwest Front, they were crushed and beaten. The Germans had to wipe their buttocks, delaying the end of the Eastern War! "

The contradiction between Italy and Austria has a long history. Even now, both sides are still allies, everyone still looks down on each other.

The Italians accused the Austro-Hungarian Empire of waste for no reason, which had something to do with the composition of the Austro-Hungarian army.

More than 75% of the officers are Germanic, but only 25% of the soldiers can speak German. This special background greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the Austrian-Hungarian army!

However, the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this war has been very good. On the premise that it has restrained more than 700,000 Bulgarian troops, it has dragged more than 2 million Russian troops. They are already level.

In contrast, the performance of the Italian army this time was really unsuccessful. As a naval power, the navy was eliminated in the first place, and naturally there was no record of people.

The 6th Army was even worse. The 1.5 million troops on the front line and the 500,000 Allied Forces fought evenly. Even the colonial troops in Britain and France were slightly overpowered and were beaten by the enemy.

Of course, this is inconsequential for the Italian 6th Army. Even the chiefs of Africa can find them full of teeth, and the colonial troops lost to Britain and France are not a big deal!

Vittorio Emanuele III said coldly, "Well! You all know that the Allies are storming Sardinia. Their purpose is very clear. They are preparing for the invasion of Rome.

This time, the Allies have gathered a total of seven British colonial divisions, three French colonial divisions, and three Bulgarian main divisions. The total strength has passed 200,000. Not to mention that Sardinia is based on all the islands in the Italian waters. Do not need 50,000 troops!

We must prepare for the war in advance. Once the Allies have attacked, we must have enough troops to defend the security of Rome. What is your opinion? "

Apparently, Vittorio Emmanuel III was dissatisfied with the Italian bureaucrats.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs thought for a moment and said, "His Majesty, the British passed us a message through Switzerland. As long as we can withdraw the frontline army, they guarantee that the Allies will not attack our homeland!"

The news surprised everyone, what kind of moths are the British playing? At the beginning of the war, you did n’t come to draw me in, and you did not come to draw people until the war started, do n’t you think it ’s too late?

However, it has also made many people who are pro-allies have new ideas. Perhaps it is also a good choice to jump from the ally to the allies. At least you can seize a large area of ​​land from the old enemy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

As for the casualties caused by the Allies to Italy in the previous wars, this is a misunderstanding. As long as there are sufficient interests, these are not the problems!

The most important thing is that once Italy jumps the anti-allied country, the odds will greatly increase, and everyone will not have to worry about it every day.

...

After a few moments of silence, the Minister of the Sixth Army asked: "What else? Now that the area of ​​Port Taranto, Sicily and Sardinia is occupied by the Allies, has the British given their opinions?"

For politicians, the other core issue is interest. As long as the interest is sufficient, nothing is impossible to talk about!

The Foreign Minister shook his head and said, "No, the British just promised that the Allies would not continue to attack us. As for the Allies to occupy our territory, we need to wait until the war is over to discuss.

After hearing the words of the Foreign Minister, everyone was full of anger. The British were just letting Italy surrender. There was no sincerity in the peace talks.

Everyone knows that the defeated country has no right to speak. If Italy surrenders, it will not be allowed to slaughter?

After a pause, the Foreign Minister added: "But the British have also hinted that if we can go back and join the Allies and declare war on the Allies, then these issues are easy to discuss!"

After hearing this, many people were relieved, and many people's expressions became tense. Obviously, not everyone is willing to rely on the Allies.

The dissatisfied glanced at the foreign minister, as if to say, "Will you speak?" Do you know that speaking half annoyingly kills you!

Then he said, "It's not that simple. Now the Allies in the Eastern Front are in a disadvantage and may fail at any time. Once the Russians are defeated, the German-Austrian coalition will certainly look west. Now Britain and France can't stop it!

Then the British came to draw us to the eighth floor without reassurance. Do not forget that traitors are more capable of pulling hatred than enemies!

Most of the British people want to use us as cannon fodder, dragging the German-Austrian forces to give them time! "

The words of the words undoubtedly boosted the pro-ally allied camp. It is true that it is the allies who have the upper hand on the battlefield or the allies. If only because of a proposal from the British, it would be impossible to go against each other.

As for the benefits? Only by standing on the side of the winner will the Kingdom of Italy be eligible to divide the benefits, and the loser has no say!

Even the pro-allies camp has no tacit understanding. After all, no matter which camp they prefer, the interests of the Kingdom of Italy must be considered first, and the personal political tendency is second!

The Chief of General Staff hesitated and said, "So ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ What should the Allies do about us?

The Allies have now concentrated more than 200,000 troops. For the sake of insurance, we must assemble at least 500,000 troops to ensure the security of our homeland.

However, our strategic materials are limited, and we have no ability to continue to form a new army. Is it really necessary to draw troops from the front line? "

...

An episode has passed, so I have to admire John Niu ’s diplomatic ability is powerful, and he is always burying nails.

Perhaps now it seems that this is just an ordinary seed, who knows that this seed will not take root in the future?
