    At 6 a.m. on May 20, at the Royal Palace of Caserta, Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Joe and Army Deputy Chief of Staff Petro.  Admiral Badoglio rushed here in a hurry.  Neither of them expected that they only received news yesterday that the Chinese army might launch an attack on Italy. As a result, this morning the Chinese had already launched a landing operation against Rome, the capital of Italy!  For them, this was simply a bolt from the blue.  The speed of action of the Chinese army completely exceeded their imagination.

    Vittorio.  King Emanuele II summoned Giovanni with a sleepy look.  Prime Minister Giolitti and Petro.  General Badoglio, he didn't seem to understand what was going on.  During this period of time, he was under great pressure. He often suffered from insomnia at night and could only fall asleep in the morning.  Therefore, after Ben Oh woke up, Vittorio.  Emanuele II was also in a very bad mood!

    "Your Majesty, the Chinese are coming. They are now attacking Fiumicino and Lido di Roma! The 14th Infantry Division is resisting the Chinese attack, but the Chinese attack is too fierce. It may be difficult for the 14th Infantry Division to resist  Chinese attack!" Petro.  Admiral Badoglio reported.  Although he had sent reinforcements to the front, he himself was not sure whether the reinforcements of the two infantry divisions could stabilize the situation.  Although there are 200,000 troops around Rome, except for these infantry divisions, other troops are still some distance away from Rome, and it will take some time to get to Rome.  He only hoped that it was not too late to start gathering troops now!

    "What? The Chinese are calling? How is this possible?" Vittorio.  Emanuele II's eyes widened, and his original sleepiness completely disappeared at this moment.  The attack of the Chinese army made him feel fear deep in his heart. If he could not withstand the attack of the Chinese army, he might become the king of subjugation!

    "Your Majesty, listen, Chinese warships are pouring artillery shells on our position!" Petro.  Admiral Badoglio said.

    Although they were more than twenty kilometers apart, when the battleship's main gun shells exploded, the earth-shattering sound could be vaguely heard in Rome.  Vittorio.  Emanuele II didn't pay attention at first, but now he calmed down and heard it clearly.

    "It's over, the Chinese are really calling. What should we do now?" Vittorio.  Emanuele II asked with a pale face?  He now doesn't know what to do. After asking the military generals last night, he already knew that the strength of the Italian Army could not withstand the Chinese attack.  Especially now that Rome's defenses are extremely empty, I'm afraid the fall of Rome is imminent!

    "Your Majesty, I have sent reinforcements to reinforce the front line! And I have given orders to other troops to reinforce Rome! But it will take some time for us to do it now!" Petro.  Admiral Badoglio said.

    "General Badoglio, can we withstand the Chinese attack?" Vittorio.  Emanuele II looked at Petro.  General Badoglio.

    "Your Majesty, unless our troops on the front line can rush back in time, we will not be able to withstand the Chinese attack! According to the report of the 14th Infantry Division, the sea is full of Chinese transport ships, and there are at least dozens of them.  Ten thousand people are going to land, and they are all elite troops transferred from North America by the Chinese." Petro.  Badoglio said with a slight blush.  He did not tell Vittorio.  Emanuele II, if the Chinese army really lands in large numbers, not to mention resisting the Chinese army's attack in Rome, even the whole of Italy will probably be defeated.

    Italy will obviously become the second country destroyed by China in this war!

    I heard Petro.  After the words of General Badoglio, Vittorio.  Emanuele II suddenly slumped down on his chair, his eyes blank, and his whole body seemed to be knocked down by the news!

    "Your Majesty, Rome is no longer safe. Let's evacuate Rome! Otherwise, when the Chinese come, we won't be able to leave!" Italian Prime Minister Giovanni.  Giolitti persuaded.  The Chinese directly launched a landing operation in Rome, obviously hoping to defeat Italy in one battle.  If they continue to hold on to Rome, Italy will lose and will never have another chance.  Only by evacuating Rome and going to the north of Italy, where there are still millions of troops, can Italy have hope!

    "Hmph! I will not leave Rome! Even if I die, I will die in Rome!" Vittorio.  Emanuele II said stubbornly.  The former capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia was Turin. It was only after the Kingdom of Sardinia unified Italy that it occupied Rome and made it the capital of Italy. It has only been 40 years ago.  Vittorio.  Emma Lai II didn't want to justSuch a dejected escape from Rome.  !

    "Your Majesty, we need to think long term! Only by evacuating Rome and gathering the army of the Kingdom of Italy will we have a chance to win!" Giovanni.  Prime Minister Giolitti advised.

    "Haha! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are you kidding again? The Chinese have made it clear that they are going to destroy Italy. No matter where we flee, it is useless. Italy has been completely defeated in this war! General Badoglio, I said  Is that right? The Italian Army does not have the strength to defeat the Chinese?" Vittorio.  Emanuele II said.

    Petro.  Admiral Badoglio said nothing, but his expression already said it, Vittorio.  Emanuele II was absolutely right.  No matter where they fled, Italy would inevitably be destroyed!

    Giovanni.  Prime Minister Giolitti continued to persuade. At this time, an officer asked Petro.  General Badoglio reported that the Army's 14th Infantry Division had been defeated by the Chinese, and the Chinese were landing in large numbers.

    Petro.  Admiral Badoglio quickly resigned. He needed to arrange the defense of Rome, and Giovanni.  Prime Minister Giolitti continued to persuade the stubborn Vittorio.  Emanuele II evacuated the Italian royal family and government to northern Italy.  In this case, Italy may still have a chance.  However, it is necessary to convince the stubborn Vittorio.  Vittorio Emanuele II is no easy task!

    Petro.  Not long after General Badoglio returned to the Army Staff Headquarters, he received bad news again. The Italian Army's 13th Infantry Division, 16th Infantry Division and the remnants of the 14th Infantry Division, which went for reinforcements, were attacked by Chinese aircraft.  bombing, suffered heavy losses, and collapsed.  This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Italian army.  You must know that in addition to these infantry divisions, now Petro.  General Badoglio had only one infantry division to garrison Rome.

    Petro.  General Badoglio ordered the 15th Infantry Division stationed in Rome to prepare for battle and at the same time collect the broken troops on the front line. In addition, he also sent an order to the troops rushing towards Rome, asking them to speed up and must  Get to Rome as soon as possible.

    After all this, Petro.  Admiral Badoglio once again rushed to the Royal Palace of Caserta to meet with Giovanni.  President Giolitti persuaded Vittorio together.  Emanuele II abandons Rome.  He knew that Rome would fall before reinforcements arrived.

    Giovanni.  Prime Minister Giolitti and Petro.  Admiral Badoglio spent a lot of effort to convince Vittorio.  Emanuele II evacuated Rome, which made the two men relieved, and they quickly asked the royal family and government officials to start preparing for the evacuation.  Why Vittorio.  Emanuele II would change his mind entirely because of Petro.  General Badoglio's intimidation worked, and Petro.  Admiral Badoglio told Vittorio.  Emanuele II, the Chinese are murderers without blinking an eye. They have killed tens of millions of white people in North America. Two cities in southwestern Spain were also massacred by the Chinese.  If Rome falls, Italians like them will definitely not be able to escape!

    Vittorio.  Although Emanuele II did not want to flee Rome in despair, at the most critical moment, he still believed that saving his life was the most important thing.  Anyway, you can keep the green hills and don¡¯t have to worry about having no firewood!  If there is no life left, then everything is over.

    It¡¯s just that when Vittorio.  When Emanuele II wanted to evacuate Rome, they found that Rome had been surrounded!  Chinese troops have already appeared in the north and south of Rome, and there are also many Chinese troops in the east!

    Petro.  General Badoglio was keenly aware that the Chinese army's encirclement was still relatively weak, so he ordered the 5th Infantry Division to attack north in an attempt to tear apart the Chinese army's encirclement.  However, they were met by a TB 'Cheetah' tank company of the Chinese Army's 7th Armored Brigade and a TP

    ¡®Wild Wolves, a tank company and a mechanized infantry company attack!  Although the 15th Infantry Division of the Italian Army has tens of thousands of people, the Chinese and Canadian troops who attacked them only have a few hundred, not even a thousand.  But faced with the attack of invulnerable tanks and armored vehicles, the attack of the Italian Army's 5th Infantry Division lasted less than twenty minutes before being repulsed!  Subsequently, the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft flew to Rome and violently bombed the Italian Army's 5th Infantry Division, completely causing the collapse of the infantry division!

    As more and more Chinese troops arrive in Rome, the Chinese army¡¯s siege of Rome becomes more and more stable. It has become a delusion for the Italian king and high-level government officials to escape from Rome!
