Among the many member states of the Holy Alliance, Italy is undoubtedly the most tragic country. Due to its geographical location, this country is destined to be China's first target of attack! China's three most important bases in the Mediterranean, regardless of whether it is the first target of attack.
It is Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, both very close to Italy. Germany can use Italy as a springboard to attack China's bases in the Mediterranean. This is also the beginning of the war when Germany attacked the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force.
The solution adopted at the time!
After a arduous battle, China finally regained air supremacy in the Mediterranean and then landed on Italy as soon as possible! The 20th Army of the Chinese Army landed in Naples and doubled in Naples, severely hitting Italy, which was coming to reinforce.
The army annihilated more than 100,000 enemies, including Italy's most elite 2nd Armored Division.
Although Italy still has millions of troops at this moment, these troops were basically recruited after the war began. Even though they were equipped with standard weapons from the German Army, it seemed that they could not turn them into heroic warriors.
! Therefore, when the main force of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army began to march towards Rome, the entire Italian government was panicked. The Italian king, Vittorio Emmanuele III, fled Italy at the first time and went to Germany
Berlin seeks help, of course, this is just nominal, but in fact it is going to take refuge! Although Vittorio Emmanuele III hated China very much and hoped to avenge the previous shame. But when I saw it, I saw that
After the hopeless victory, he chose to save his life first. In the last world war, he fled to the Vatican to escape. However, the Chinese did not even give the face of the Vatican Pope. Therefore, this time Vitori
O. Emmanuele III fled directly from Italy!
After the Italian King Vittorio Emmanuele III fled Italy, all the power of the country was handed over to Prime Minister Mussonili, who only needed to telegram to Vittorio Emmanuele III.
Just report it! As for the military aspect, it is the responsibility of the Italian Army Chief of Staff General Bardorio.
On January 17, the 20th Army of the Chinese Army had approached Rome. The vanguard, a powerful search battalion directly under the 20th Army, was less than 40 kilometers away from Rome. The Chinese once again came to the city of Rome. The Italian government was greatly promoted.
For fear. Although Rome had assembled more than 500,000 troops at this time, and the 20th Army of the Chinese Army had only more than 200,000 people in total. However, the Italian government still had no confidence to defend Rome. Many Roman residents were in the Chinese Army.
Before the main force of the 20th Army arrived in Rome, they began to flee Rome and went to the countryside to take refuge. Among them, there were many wealthy people living in Rome and some politicians. Of course, the Italian cabinet members are still in the city of Rome. However,
, No one knows how long they can stay. As long as the Chinese Army shows a stance to attack Rome, they will definitely escape as soon as possible!
Italian Prime Minister Mussoniri was frustrated. Cabinet members kept asking whether the Italian army had the strength to resist the Chinese attack. If they could not resist, they might as well give up Rome and retreat to northern Italy to calculate.
, even went directly to Germany to form an exiled government in Germany. This view is very marketable among the top Italian government leaders! In their opinion, it is impossible to beat the Chinese anyway, so it is better to run away and escape to Germany
.When Germany defeats China, they will be fine. Of course, if Germany is defeated by China, it will be nothing. The wealth they hold is enough for them to live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives!
Mussonilli doesn't want to escape from Italy just like this. He is an ambitious man. He has a humble background and finally becomes the prime minister of Italy. If he gives up now, all his efforts will be in vain! If he escapes
If Italy goes to Germany, although he is still the Prime Minister of Italy, his power will be greatly reduced, which is not in his interest!
However, if you stay, once Rome is captured, he will become a prisoner of the Chinese, and even his life will be threatened! This makes Mussonilli a little embarrassed and doesn't know how to choose!
On the evening of January 17, Mussonili summoned the Italian Army Chief of Staff General Bardorio to seek his opinion!
"His Chief of Staff, is the army confident of resisting the Chinese attack?" Mussonilli asked straight to the point.
"Prime Minister, please rest assured, the army will do its best to ensure the safety of Rome. Now we have gathered 500,000 people in Rome, and more troops are on the way! The expansion of the northern region has also accelerated its speed, very quickly
We will have more troops!" said Admiral Bardorio!
However, Mussonilli was very unaware of these nonsense. He asked directly: "His Excellency Chief of Staff, I want to listen to the truth! How much can we defend if we stick to Rome?"
Admiral Bardorio hesitated for a while, and then said, "Prime Minister, we have no advantage except for our troops! The Chinese have the advantages of tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft, although our troops are stronger than them.
Much more! But if they make up their minds to attack Rome, we can withstand a week at most!"
Mussonili's face suddenly turned black like a pot. The 500,000 Italian troops could only withstand the Chinese for a week. The combat effectiveness of the Italian army was a little too trash, right?
"What if we retreat to the north? Use the terrain of the northern mountainous areas to deal with the Chinese!" Mussonilli continued to ask!
"His Excellency Prime Minister, the road facilities in the northern mountainous areas are backward, and the Chinese tanks and armored vehicles cannot go! We can hold on! However, that will be quite difficult! Without the support of the plains in the central and southern regions, our logistics supply will be
Relying on the Germans all! It can be foreseen that Germany will not give us too much support! After all, all countries are now expanding their troops wildly, and the Germans have suffered a lot of losses under the counterattack of the Chinese. If they can give us support,
There are even fewer! Therefore, if the Chinese do not invest in the new army, we may be able to keep going! But if the Chinese do invest in more troops, we may not last long!" said Admiral Bardorio
.
Mussonili had no expectations for the Italian army. Whether it was to stick to Rome or retreat to the north, it would end up the same. So, why did they still fight this war?
"His Chief of Staff, if that's the case, why do we still have to fight this battle?" Mussonilli asked.
"Uh! Your Excellency Prime Minister, Italy joins the Holy Alliance, which was strongly requested by His Majesty the King. And at the beginning, we also believed that Germany could gain an advantage in the war. At that time, even if Italy would pay a certain amount of losses, it would be after the war.
What was made up for! But I didn't expect the battle situation to develop like this!" Admiral Bardorio said with a wry smile. The Luftwaffe's sneak attack did indeed gain the initial advantage! But this advantage did not last long, only short
A few days later, the Chinese Air Force dispatched a large number of reinforcements from the country, easily defeated the Luftwaffe and regained air supremacy in the Mediterranean region!
"Hmph! His Majesty the King has fled to Germany!" Mussonilli said with some dissatisfaction. He was so angry that Vittorio Emmanuele III would leave the mess and leave the mess for him.
Mussonilli was very dissatisfied with his behavior!
"Prime Minister, tell me, what should we do? I promise that the army will obey your arrangements!" said Bardorio. At this moment, he also understood that Mussonilli must have plans to summon him to the ground.
of!
"His Excellency Chief of Staff, I think we can't continue the war! Italy suffered heavy losses in the last war! If we continue this time, we will lose millions or even more people
!The people are innocent, they should not become victims of the war of great powers! There is no need for Italy to get involved!" Mussonilli said with a look of serving the country and the people!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you mean?" asked Admiral Bardorio.
"Surrender to the Chinese, only when we surrender to China can Italy be preserved! Otherwise, Italy will be completely finished!" Mussonilli said firmly.
General Bardorio hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. As the chief of the Italian army, he knew better that if he continued to fight, Italy would not have any chance of winning, so it would be better to find a little surrender!
"Haha! Very good, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the people will definitely thank us!" Mussonilli said with a smile!
Later, Mussonilli sent a special envoy to meet General Zhang Ruifeng, commander of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army, and made a request to surrender. Mussonilli had only one request, that is, after Italy surrendered to China, he would continue to become Italy.
Prime Minister of the Government!
In response to this, General Zhang Ruifeng did not dare to make a decision privately and immediately asked the theater command. The theater command also directly reported it to the imperial emperor Yuze.
In the end, Wang Yuze agreed to Mussonilli's request. Anyway, with China's current strength, even if Mussonilli becomes an Italian dictator, it will not pose any threat to China!
On January 20, Italian Prime Minister Mussonilli officially announced Italy's surrender to China! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
