Mediterranean Hegemony Road

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 forced state, he took the Kingdom of Italy to war, and then lived a frightening life.

"Bewildering and confusing" is a true portrayal of this war. First the Allies prevailed, then the Allies prevailed, then the Allies prevailed, and now it was the Allies' turn to prevail.

The two major alliances seem to be taking turns in feng shui, which stimulates people's nerves crazily. Ordinary people can't see the direction of the world war.

It is a pity that Vittorio Emanuele III is not an ordinary person. As the king of Italy, he knows more than ordinary people.

Maybe he still can't judge who can win the final victory between the Allies and the Allies, 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 a dangerous state.

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

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

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

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the Germans are progressing very well, they have already killed most of the Russian Northern Front.

It's a pity that the wastes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are holding back. Not only did they fail to defeat the Russian Southwest Front,

Instead, they were pressed and beaten by others, and the Germans had to wipe their butts, delaying the end of the Eastern Front War! "

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

It is not without reason that the Italians accuse Austria-Hungary of waste, which has something to do with the composition of the Austro-Hungarian army.

Among them, 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 containing more than 700,000 Bulgarian troops, they have also held back more than two million Russian troops. They are already level.

In contrast, the performance of the Italian army this time is really unstoppable. As a navy 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 troops fought on equal footing. Even against the colonial troops of Britain and France, they were suppressed and beaten by the enemy when they had the upper hand.

Of course, it doesn't matter to the Italian 6th Army, even the African chiefs can beat them all over the place, and it's no big deal to lose to the British and French colonial troops!

Vittorio Emanuele III said coldly: "Well! You all know that the Allies are storming Sardinia, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to prepare for the invasion of Rome.

This time, the Allies gathered seven British colonial divisions, three French colonial divisions, and three Bulgarian main divisions, with a total strength of more than 200,000 people. Not to mention Sardinia, even if it covers all the islands in the Italian waters, they You don't even need 50,000 troops!

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

Apparently, Vittorio Emanuele III was expressing his dissatisfaction with the Italian bureaucrats.

The Foreign Minister thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the British have sent us a message through Switzerland. As long as we can withdraw our troops from the front, they will guarantee that the Allies will not attack our homeland!"

This news surprised everyone. What kind of shit are the British playing? At the beginning of the war, you didn't come to win me over, don't you think it's too late to pull people now after the war?

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

As for the casualties and losses caused by the Allies to Italy in the previous war, 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 chances of winning will be greatly increased, and everyone will not have to worry about it every day.

...

After a moment of silence, the Minister of the 6th Army asked, "What else? The area around the Port of Taranto, Sicily, and Sardinia are now being occupied by the Allied Powers. Did the British say anything?"

For politicians, other good discussions, the core issue is the 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 assured that the Allied Powers would not continue to attack us. As for the Allied Powers occupying our territory, we need to wait until the war is over before we negotiate."

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

Everyone knows that defeated countries have no right to speak. If Italy surrendered, wouldn't it be slaughtered?

After a pause, the foreign secretary added: "But the British also hinted that if we can defect, join 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 nervous, obviously not everyone was willing to join the Allied Powers.

Xiang glared at the Foreign Minister in dissatisfaction, as if to say: Can you speak? Do you know that half-talking will make people angry!

Then he said, "It's not that simple. Now the Allies are at a disadvantage on the Eastern Front, and they may fail at any time. Once the Russians are defeated, the German-Austrian coalition will definitely look west, and 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 able to draw hatred than the enemy in many cases!

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

Chancellor's words undoubtedly boosted the pro-Allied camp. That's right, it is the Allies who have the upper hand on the battlefield. If it's just because of a British proposal, will they defect?

As for benefits? Only by standing on the side of the winner, the Kingdom of Italy is qualified to divide up the interests, and the loser has no right to speak!

Even the pro-Entente camp has no objection. After all, no matter which camp they prefer, the first thing to consider is the interests of the Kingdom of Italy, and the second is their personal political inclination!

The chief of the general staff said hesitantly: "So, what should we do when the Allies are about to attack us?

The Allies have now gathered more than 200,000 troops. For the sake of safety, we must gather at least 500,000 troops to ensure the security of the homeland.

However, our strategic materials are limited, and we simply do not have the ability to continue to form a new army. Do we really need to send reinforcements from the front line? "

...

A small episode has just passed, and I have to admire John Bull's diplomatic ability is strong, and he is burying nails anytime, anywhere.

Maybe it seems that this is just an ordinary seed. Who knows that this seed will not take root and sprout in the future?
