Vol 4 Chapter 120: Italian surrender

In the Roman battlefield, Walicotte was worrying at this time. In the first week of the counterattack, the Italian played at an excessive level, and the bravery he showed surprised him.
Of course, if this is the case, it is not enough to worry him. The more brave the Italians are, the greater their casualties. If they can continue to maintain this level, it will be a Roman version of Verdun ground meat. machine
Unfortunately, he soon discovered that the Italians had returned to normal levels again. It was possible that the second middle-aged boy who had dared to fight and kill was almost dead, and the rest were old fritters.
Well, if Wallicot has no ambitions and only wants to hang around, then it is the best state now. Anyway, he only needs to hold Rome, and it is not a problem to increase the ranks after the war.
However, if he wants to have greater development, this is not enough. The Bulgarian army and the new generation of officers with comparable records are also double digits. It is not easy for him to stand out from the crowd.
The army is where the record is to be spoken. Unfortunately, because of the limited strength of the Italian, his combat skills must be discounted. The ranking of the combat effectiveness of the military forces of various countries by the Bulgarian General Staff is a good reference.
After the outbreak of the World War, the Bulgarian General Staff conducted a comprehensive assessment of the combat effectiveness of the army of each country again based on the performance of the military of various countries on the battlefield.
The full score is 100 points. Simply put, based on the performance on the battlefield, the record is the main factor, and many factors such as the army's morale, weapons and equipment, and logistics supplies are integrated.
The Germans still occupy the top of the list with a total score of 71 points, mainly due to severe logistic and strategic deductions, which lowered the score.
While the Italians continued to take the bottom, the Bulgarian staff gave them a five-point comedy. Since the beginning of the war, there have been no victories in battles of more than a thousand people. The morale of the army is low, the weapons and equipment are backward, and the logistics supply is bad
Ferdinand ’s comprehensive evaluation of the Italian strategy is very clear, but unfortunately he has no ability to implement it.
Walicott was a little embarrassed. Although he had killed hundreds of thousands of Italian troops, his record was still unconvincing.
Unless he can defeat the Italian, and then go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is best to hit Germany all the way, so that he can be recognized as the first person of the Bulgarian Army's new generation.
Of course, this dream is good to do while sleeping. Unless he can open it, it can't happen under normal circumstances.
Day by day, the Italian's offensive intensity is getting lower and lower, and Valicotte is still stable, but his officers and men are already in a hurry.
Where do the Italians go for such a good opponent? In the event that the Italians suddenly surrender, they wo n’t fly.
A young staffer suggested, "General, let's fight against the Italians. The total strength of the Allied Powers on the Italian peninsula is still nearly 300,000. To bring them all together, we and the Italians may not have a battle."
Under the influence of Ferdinand, the senior members of the Bulgarian army did not like to continue taking risks and increasing variables when the overall situation was set, and Walikot was no exception.
Wallicot thought for a while and said, "No, we can concentrate our forces. The Italians will also concentrate their forces. Here is their homeland. In the current situation in Italy, they can still concentrate 1.2 million troops.
With 300,000 vs. 1 million, of which there are nearly three-quarters of the colonial forces, the risk is too great
It might as well delay the time like now. I am afraid that food panic has already begun in Italy. They ca n’t hold it for long. "
The staff said unwillingly, "General, do we just wait and do nothing?"
Wallicot smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible that since the Italians don't come, can't we go to them?"
Time passed in a hurry, and it entered 1917 in a flash. The world war broke out again, and the Italians finally could not hold it. After Christmas, they surrendered.
Of course, Italy's surrender or not has little impact on the military. Anyway, they still have so little strength and cannot affect the direction of the world war.
However, the political influence was too great. From the start of the war in 1915 to the present, members of the Allies have hung up Belgium, while the allies have hung up a series of younger brothers. Now even the big country of Italy has surrendered
Although the Italians announced their withdrawal from the war last year, everyone knows that they want to speculate again, and even some people think that the Italians were asking too much, and they were posed by John Niu.
But no one can think of it. The Italians announced their surrender so soon. It ’s also a power.
Even Ferdinand was a little confused. This time the Italian surrendered too simply. Because of the opening of the southern battle, he has not paid attention to the Italian battlefield for a long time.
"What happened, why did the Italians surrender so quickly"
Acting Chief of Staff Klosf said gloat, "Your Majesty, in fact, the Italian government has now announced its surrender.
In order to counterattack Rome, the Italians have exhausted their last war potential. In a few months, they paid at least 200,000 casualties, but they still did not succeed. The brutal casualties caused the Italian army to collapse.
In fact, in addition to the amazing courage erupted in the Italians for more than a week, they soon returned to their normal level.
On December 2 of last year, our troops in Rome launched a surprise attack and accidentally captured a captive of an Italian division, which was twice the number of people we went to attack.
General Valicotte determined that the morale of the Italians had collapsed, and then concentrated all the allies of the Allied Powers on the Italian mainland and fought against the Italians. Although the Italians still had several times their strength with us, they still Is in a disadvantage.
On Christmas Eve, the Italian army unexpectedly mutated again, and the frontline troops seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
Nearly 100,000 Italian soldiers came into our prison of war camp. The only requirement was for us to give them matching treatment. Some even asked our soldiers for Christmas gifts.
Even if the Italian government wants to continue the war, there is no way, because they do not know when the frontline troops will surrender. "
Ferdinand rubbed his forehead. He thought he had heard it wrong. How could such a strange thing happen? But thinking about Italy in history, Ferdinand felt that it seemed like nothing happened to them.
In history, a pilot can parachute an Italian infantry regiment when they parachute. The British and the Italians fought. The capture of prisoners was calculated in acres.
Now that the Italians are beginning to surrender on a large scale, Ferdinand can guess without thinking about the following reasons.
1. They are desperate for this war and do not want to fight anymore;
2. There was a problem with the supply of logistics materials, such as the food standards of the soldiers fell; Remarks Italian soldiers have high requirements for food ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Unfortunately, their logistics can not be met at all, there have been too many A large-scale surrender of soldiers to the enemy because the food standard is too low
3. The casualties are too big for them to stand
It seems that these three major iron laws now appear in the Italian army, and surrender seems to be their normal operation.
As for courage, can this be eaten? In addition to the beginning, everyone knows that John Niu was played by him and lost Rome. Suddenly, the blood surged up and he wanted to fight desperately with the enemy. After calming down, the Italians found it looks like this war Playing badly
It ’s not worth it to pay for your own life for a war that has failed voluntarily.
Even if Rome is recaptured, nothing can change the outcome of this war. Moreover, the recapture of Rome by force will certainly destroy Rome, and in the end it will not be Italy.
Why the Italians surrendered is not important. The key is aftermath. Anyway, Italy was once a member of the great powers, and still has some family members. As a victor, it is necessary to divide up.
Ferdinand pondered for a moment and then said, "Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicate with Britain and France. Let's see what conditions the British will give. We can trade in other places on the issue of dividing Italy."
Obviously, it is impossible for the British to allow Bulgaria and the French to divide up Italy easily, otherwise, how will John Cow gain a foothold in the Mediterranean in the future?
Of course, no matter how aggressive John Niu is now, it would not be possible for France and France to easily make concessions if they did not offer real gold for exchange.
From the outbreak of the World War to now, Bulgaria has been supporting it. From the Arabian Peninsula to the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria now has millions of square kilometers of new territories. It is time to digest it.
