Bulgarian Empire

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

In a state of coercion, he led the Kingdom of Italy to war, and then lived a life of fear.

"Complicated and confusing" is a true portrayal of this war. First the Allies gained the upper hand, then the Allies gained the upper hand, then the Allies gained the upper hand, and now it is the Allies' turn to gain the upper hand.

The two major alliances seem to be taking turns, crazily stimulating people's nerves, and ordinary people can no longer see clearly the direction of the world war.

It's a pity that Vittorio Emanuele III is not an ordinary person. As the king of Italy, he understands things much deeper than ordinary people.

Maybe he is not yet able to judge who can win the final victory between the Allies and the Entente, but he knows that the current Kingdom of Italy is in jeopardy.

In other words, from the moment the navy was severely damaged, the Kingdom of Italy was in danger. After the Allied Powers took control of the sea, they could land on the Apennine Peninsula at any time.

Either out of hatred or for profit, King Vittorio Emanuele III chose to send troops to France, preparing to join forces with the Germans to kill the French and win the world war.

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

"President, how is the situation on the Eastern Front? How long will it take for the Germans to defeat the Russians?" asked Vittorio Emanuele III

Xiang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the progress of the Germans is very smooth, they have already killed most of the Russians' northern army.

It's a pity that the wastes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were delayed. Not only did they not have the Southwest Front Army that could defeat the Russians, but they were suppressed and beaten by others. The Germans had to wipe their buttocks, delaying the end of the Eastern Front War! "

The conflict between Italy and Austria has a long history. Even now that the two sides are still allies, everyone still looks down on each other.

It is not without reason that the Italians accused the Austro-Hungarian Empire of being a waste, which has 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. Under this special background, the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army is greatly limited!

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

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

The 6th Army was even worse. The 1.5 million troops on the front line and the 500,000 Allied forces were evenly matched. Even against the British and French colonial troops, they were beaten by the enemy when they had a slight upper hand.

Of course, it doesn't matter to the Italian army, even African chiefs can beat them all over the floor, and losing to the British and French colonial troops is no big deal!

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

This time, the Allied Powers gathered a total of seven British colonial divisions, three French colonial divisions, and three Bulgarian main divisions. There is no need for 50,000 troops!

We must prepare for war in advance. Once the Allied Powers attack, we must have enough troops to protect the safety of Rome. What do you guys think? "

Obviously, Vittorio Emanuele III expressed dissatisfaction with the Italian bureaucrats.

The Foreign Secretary thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the British have sent us a message through Switzerland,

As long as we can withdraw the troops on the front line, they guarantee that the Allies will not attack our homeland! "

This news surprised everyone. What kind of moths are the British playing? You didn't come to win me over at the beginning of the war, and only now after the war is over, don't you think it's too late?

However, many people who are pro-Allied countries have new ideas. Perhaps it is a good choice to switch from the Allies to the Allies. At least they can seize large tracts of land from the old enemy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

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

The most important thing is that once Italy jumps against the Allies, the odds of winning will be greatly increased, and everyone will not have to live in fear every day.

...

After a moment of silence, the Minister of the Army asked, "What else? The area around the port of Taranto, Sicily, and Sardinia is now occupied by the Allied Powers. Has the British given any explanation?"

For politicians, among other things that are easy to discuss, the core issue is interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, there is nothing that cannot be discussed!

The Foreign Secretary shook his head and said, "No, the British just ensured that the Allied Powers would not continue to attack us. As for the Allied Powers occupying our territory, we need to wait until the end of the war to discuss it."

After hearing what the foreign minister said, everyone was full of anger. The British were simply asking Italy to surrender, and they had no sincerity for peace talks at all.

Everyone knows that the defeated country has no right to speak. If Italy surrendered, wouldn't it be allowed to be slaughtered?

After a pause, the Foreign Minister added: "However, the British also hinted that if we can turn our backs, join the camp of the Allies and declare war on the Allies, then these issues are easy to discuss!"

After hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and many people became tense. Obviously, not everyone was willing to join the Allies.

The minister gave the Foreign Minister a dissatisfied look, as if to say: Can you speak? Do you know that half-talking will make people mad!

Then he said: "It's not that simple. Now the Allied Powers are at a disadvantage on the Eastern Front, and they may lose at any time. Once the Russians are defeated, the German and Austrian allied forces will definitely look west. Now Britain and France can't stop it at all!

Then the British have no good intentions to win over us on the eighth floor. Don't forget that traitors are more capable of attracting hatred than enemies in many cases!

Most of the British want to use us as cannon fodder to delay the German-Austrian coalition forces to buy them time! "

The words of the Prime Minister undoubtedly boosted the momentum of the pro-Allied camp. It is true that the Allies still have the upper hand on the battlefield. If it is just because of a proposal from the British, will they turn against each other?

As for benefits? Only on the side of the winner, the Kingdom of Italy is eligible to share the benefits, and the loser has no say!

Even the pro-Entente camp did not object tacitly. After all, no matter which camp they prefer, they must first consider the interests of the Kingdom of Italy, and then their personal political inclinations!

The chief of the general staff hesitated and said: "Then, what should the Allied Powers do when they are about to attack us?

The Allied Powers have now gathered more than 200,000 troops. To be on the safe side, we must gather at least 500,000 troops to ensure the safety of our homeland.

But our strategic materials are limited, and we simply don't have the ability to continue to form a new army. Is it really necessary to draw reinforcements from the front line? "

...

A small episode just passed, and I have to admire John Bull's diplomatic ability is tough, and he can bury nails anytime and anywhere.

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