    In Rome, the capital of Italy, the Italian Army Staff Headquarters near the Royal Palace of Caserta has been requisitioned by the Chinese Army and became the headquarters of the Chinese Army during wartime.  The entire Rome is already under the control of the Chinese Army. Although the Chinese Army's 7th Army and 8th Army are still landing, more than 150,000 people have gathered around Rome at this moment.  The most elite armored brigades, cavalry brigades, and artillery brigades of the two armies have gathered in Rome, ready to respond to the Italian Army's attack.

    However, for the Chinese troops who occupied Rome, the most difficult thing was not the Italian Army's counterattack.  The weak Italian Army was not taken seriously by them at all.  The most troublesome thing is that none of the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III and senior government officials were caught, and they all hid in the Vatican.  Although the Vatican is only 5 kilometers away from the center of Rome, they are two worlds apart.  Although the Chinese army has surrounded the Vatican, no one dares to rush into the Vatican to arrest people before getting an order.

    In the wartime headquarters, there were Admiral Li Haitao, Commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan, Chief of Staff, General Du Qizheng, Commander of the 7th Group Army, Lieutenant General Niu Fakui, Chief of Staff, General He Bingju, Commander of the 8th Group Army, and Zhang Ruifeng, Chief of Staff.  The lieutenant general and his colleagues gathered together to discuss how to solve the current problem!

    "What the hell, the Vatican or the Pope, why don't we just attack it! The Vatican only has a few hundred people's escorts, and one company of our troops can deal with them!" General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army, said directly  .  Hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked by a small Vatican, which made him very frustrated.  If it weren't for other people's persuasion.  He had already ordered the Vatican to be demolished!

    "Old Du. It's not as simple as you think! Although the Vatican is small, its influence in the world is not small, especially in the Western world. The Vatican can be said to rule the spiritual world of these Westerners. If we dare to use force against the Vatican  If so, I'm afraid we will become the target of attacks from the entire Western world!" said General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army!

    "What the hell! So what should we do now? Can't we just sit back and watch the people from the Kingdom of Italy deploy troops and generals in the Vatican?" General Du Qizheng cursed secretly.  The reason why the Chinese army launched this raid was to surround Rome in one fell swoop, then capture the Italian king and senior government officials, and finally force them to surrender to China and end the war.  But I didn't expect it.  At the most critical moment, the Italian royal family and senior government officials hid in the Vatican, allowing the Chinese team to fall short at the last moment!

    "I think it's better to report it to the country! The Emperor will make the decision. If His Majesty wants us to attack the Vatican, then we will flatten the Vatican directly!" said Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.  If it weren't for the Vatican's special status, he would have ordered the navy's carrier-based aircraft to bomb the Vatican into ruins.  As small as the Vatican, it only takes one bombing by two aircraft carriers of the Navy to completely destroy it!  However, if the Vatican is really blown into ruins, then China will definitely become the enemy of the entire Western world!

    "That's it, let's leave this problem to His Majesty! I'll go to the Vatican to have a look. If the Pope in the Vatican knows him, he will hand him over. If they don't know each other, he will wait until His Majesty the Emperor's order is issued.  Don't blame us for not giving them face!" said General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army.  In China, imperial power is supreme.  Other religions and the like also serve the imperial power.  Unlike here in Europe, divine power often overrides imperial power!

    The communications officers sent a telegram to the country about the situation of the Italian royal family and senior government officials hiding in the Vatican.  General Du Qizheng and General He Bingju went to the Vatican to test the Vatican's attitude.

    At 7 pm on May 20, General Du Qizheng and General He Bingju came to the Vatican.  At this time, the Vatican's Vatican Guards were confronting the 321st Regiment of the Chinese Army's 32nd Infantry Division.  More than 4,000 men from the 321st Regiment have surrounded the entire Vatican. The artillery company's 6 105mm light howitzers and 6 120mm heavy howitzers have been aimed at the Vatican. They are ready to bombard the Vatican as soon as the order is issued.  In addition, two T5 'Cheetah' medium tanks, four T4 'Wolf' light tanks and four Z4 wheeled armored vehicles of the 7th Armored Brigade were also parked not far away.  If they want to attack the Vatican, they will become the main offensive force and be responsible for breaking through the defense of the Vatican Guards.

    On the other side are the soldiers of the Holy See Guard.  Their equipment is very crude, they have no heavy weapons, not even machine guns, they are only equipped with rifles.  However, facing the squadron who were armed to the teeth, they had no fear at all. Instead, they showed contempt, as if they had really been blessed by God and were invulnerable.So.  As General Du Qizheng, the commander of the 7th Group Army, said, the Holy See Guards only have a few hundred people and are poorly equipped. Their combat effectiveness is not expected to be much better. The Chinese Army only needs to send one company of troops to sweep across the entire Holy See Guards.  .  It's just that, given the special status of the Vatican, it doesn't dare to use force against them easily!

    General Du Qizheng and General He Bingju, escorted by several guards, arrived at the gate of the Vatican.  The Holy See Guards suddenly became nervous when they saw the Chinese approaching them.

    "Hey, stop! This is the Vatican, the territory of God. You pagans are prohibited from entering the Vatican!" A captain-level Vatican guard soldier shouted in English to General Du Qizheng and General He Bingju!

    "We want to see the Pope!" General He Bingju said loudly!

    "The Pope will not see you heretics, get lost!" the captain of the Holy See Guard said disdainfully.  From the look of him, he seemed to be blaspheming God if he said anything to the Chinese.

    "You bitch, you are too arrogant. No, I will destroy the Vatican!" General Du Qizheng had never been so angry, and he immediately became angry.  The troops surrounding the Vatican are all from the 7th Army. If he gives the order, it will be enough to destroy the Vatican!

    "Lao Du, don't be angry, be careful not to spoil something big!" General He Bingju quickly grabbed General Du Qizheng, and then continued: "On behalf of the Chinese Communist Party, we want to negotiate with the Vatican. If the Vatican suffers a disaster because of you,  If there is a disaster, can you afford the responsibility?"

    The captain of the Holy See Guard hesitated for a moment, and then said a few words to the soldier beside him.  The soldier immediately ran into the Vatican, probably to report to the Vatican senior officials.

    About ten minutes later, a senior member of the Holy See, surrounded by a group of clergy, arrived at the gate of the Vatican. The person who came was Mariano Rampola, Secretary of State of the Holy See.  Important figures from the Chinese Army came to the door, and the Vatican had to treat it with caution.  After all, China is too powerful, and it is not Catholic. God's deterrence is of no use to these Chinese people.  If there is a conflict between the Vatican and China, these Chinese may really attack the Vatican.  By then, the Vatican will be completely destroyed.

    "Your Excellency, General, I am Mariano Rampolla, Secretary of State of the Vatican. What can I do for you?" Mariano Rampolla asked.

    "Your Excellency, Cardinal, you must be very clear about our purpose of coming. China has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Vatican, and we also ask the Vatican to hand over the Italian royal family and senior government officials to us!" said Admiral He Bingju.

    "In the eyes of God, there are no so-called kings and high-ranking officials, only his people. God loves the world and will not just watch his people being killed!" Mariano Rampola looked holy.  , as if full of divinity, that look made the surrounding clergy and the soldiers of the Holy See Guard go crazy.

    "Your Excellency, Cardinal, is the Vatican determined to be our enemy? In the eyes of Westerners, the Vatican may be very important. But in the eyes of us Chinese, it is nothing but bullshit! If you don't hand over people  If you come out, don't blame us for destroying the Vatican!" General Du Qizheng said with a dark face.  As if to match his words, several tanks and armored vehicles behind them started to launch. Amidst the rumbling sound of motors, several tanks and armored vehicles slowly approached the Vatican.  The tank tracks grinded against the ground, making a creaking sound that made people feel numb!

    "Any use of force against the Vatican is a blasphemy against God! It is a provocation to the entire Catholic Church! If the Chinese insist on doing this, they will be an enemy of the entire Western world!" Mariano Ram, Secretary of State of the Holy See  Paula said sternly.  He was really afraid that the Chinese army would use force against the Vatican.  However, he believed that the Chinese were just bluffing.  Although China is strong, it is not strong enough to be an enemy of the entire Western world.  Although the Vatican is weak, they who rule the spiritual world of the Western world have a lofty status. Even the world's powerful countries do not dare to do anything to them!  Even when the Kingdom of Italy occupied Rome with force, it only forced the Holy See back to the Vatican.

    "Kill these infidels! These blasphemers of God should be burned to death!" The soldiers of the Holy See Guards shouted one after another.  Obviously, General Du Qizheng's words made them feel as if they had been greatly insulted!  (To be continued)
