    Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini announced his surrender to China, and Italian Army Chief of Staff Badoglio also ordered all Italian Army troops to lay down their weapons and surrender to China, which caused an uproar around the world.  Just over half a month after the war began, Italy, a major member of the Holy Alliance, surrendered, which undoubtedly poured cold water on those members of the Holy Alliance who were frantically expanding their armies.

    Among the many member states of the Holy Alliance, Italy is also considered one of the powerful countries.  And now, the Italian Army has expanded to 1.3 million people. However, under the attack of China's army, navy and air force, Italy could not hold on for even a month, and even the king fled. This undoubtedly gave the Holy Alliance other opportunities.  A great shock to the member states and the world.  Originally, many neutral countries believed that this world war would be a protracted war, even longer than the First World War.  After all, both the Holy Alliance led by Germany and the Eastern Alliance led by China are much stronger than the original Allies and Central Powers.  It may take several years to defeat such a powerful enemy.  However, Italy's sudden collapse now calls this view into question.  Many people even believe that the Chinese may quickly win the war again!

    King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, who had fled to Berlin, was very angry about Mussonini's surrender. He gave a speech in Berlin, claiming that Mussonini had betrayed him and betrayed all of Italy.  He also called on the Italian army and people not to surrender to China, but to continue fighting until the Chinese are driven out of Italy!

    However, very few people responded to Vittorio Emanuele III.  Only a handful of the Italian troops who finally surrendered to the royal family refused to surrender to China and fled to the mountains of northern Italy, persisting in fighting guerrilla warfare with the help of the Germans.  However, they will no longer have much impact on the overall situation!  In order to ensure its own safety, the German Army also crossed the Alps from the Austrian side and entered the mountains of northern Italy.  but.  They are not attacking southern Italy, but occupying the transportation arteries in the mountainous areas of northern Italy and building fortifications in these dangerous areas to prevent the Chinese from attacking the German mainland from northern Italy!

    The rugged terrain in the mountainous areas of northern Italy is not conducive to the actions of the Chinese Army¡¯s armored forces.  Because of the backwardness of roads and other infrastructure, it was unable to support the march of large troops.  therefore.  The Chinese Army's 20th Group Army also did not attack Germany from northern Italy.  The same goes for defense.  However, because Italy fell into the hands of China, China could build airports and deploy tactical aircraft in the northern Italian plains.  In particular, after the F11 Vulture fighter jets are deployed to the airport on the northern Italian plains, their combat radius can already cover the southern part of Germany, and they can just in time escort long-range bombers carrying out strategic bombing.  To reduce the losses of long-range bombers!

    As China continues to carry out strategic bombing of Germany, more and more German industrial cities have been bombed, although the specific effects have not been reflected yet.  However, this is definitely not a good thing for Germany.  If this continues, not only will German industry be severely affected, but the German people's confidence in this war will also be shaken.  By the time.  It will be even more difficult for Germany to win this war!

    Italy¡¯s surrender has sounded the alarm to other members of the Holy Alliance, especially Spain, which is also located on the Mediterranean coast, and Portugal in the west, who are afraid that China will shift its next target to them.  Even the Kingdom of Serbia, which wanted to join the Holy Alliance before the war began, is now silent.  The Kingdom of Serbia assassinated Ferdinand I.  directly led to the outbreak of this world war.  Originally, they wanted to fish in troubled waters, join the Holy Alliance, and cut off a piece of fat from the disintegrated Austro-Hungarian Empire.  but.  The Kingdom of Italy has learned a lesson from the past. If their actions cause a counterattack from China, the gains will outweigh the losses!  Therefore, all the troops originally used by the Kingdom of Serbia to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire were transferred back to the hinterland.  As for joining the Holy Alliance and declaring war on China, that is out of the question!

    After Mussonili surrendered, China did not make things difficult for him.  On the one hand, China does not want chaos in Italy. When the war is in full swing, China will not have too many troops to maintain stability in Italy.  On the other hand, Mussolini was also very knowledgeable. After China promised to continue to serve as Prime Minister of Italy, he immediately became China's lackey. Together with General Badoglio, Chief of Staff of the Italian Army, he devoted himself to China's  Busy for profit.  Actively ordered the Italian army to build airports for China and transport logistics supplies.??, while maintaining the stability of Italy, etc., these all make China very satisfied.  Mussoniri was able to become the Prime Minister of Italy because he had two skills.  As for whether Mussoniri will pose a threat to China after becoming the dictator of Italy.  On this point, everyone in China is very reassured.  With China's current strength, there is no need to be afraid of a small Italy.  Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is so weird. As long as Mussonili didn't have a problem with his head, he would not provoke China!  After all, if China can support him to become the prime minister of the Italian government, it also has the power to bring him down. In order to maintain his status, he can only turn to China!

    After Italy surrendered, China continued its aggressive attacks in the Mediterranean.  However, the only ones that can be dispatched are the air force and navy!  The main force of the army needs to be mobilized from home, and it will take a certain amount of time.

    January 31, 1919, is New Year¡¯s Eve.  However, due to the outbreak of the war, this New Year's Eve was very simple.  The emperor Wang Yuze did not hold a New Year's Eve dinner at Xinhua Palace. The important ministers of the empire were also busy with the war. Everyone hoped that the empire could win this war.  As long as the empire can win this war, then the empire will consolidate its position as the world's hegemon, and for a long time to come, no country will be able to challenge the empire!  At the rate of development of the empire, as long as the future rulers of the empire are not fools, there will be no day when the empire will decline!

    On February 1st, the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor held an imperial meeting in Xinhua Palace. The focus of the meeting was the war against Europe!  Although most of Europe is still in a world of ice and snow.  However, due to the early outbreak of the war, except for Italy, which had already fallen, the other countries of the Holy Alliance were frantically expanding their armies and preparing for war.  Moreover, due to their industrial strength and social system, their military expansion and war preparations have been mostly completed!  Next, it can be foreseen that many member states of the Holy Alliance will definitely launch a new round of attacks in order to restore their disadvantage!  However, all of China's main forces have not been dispatched to the front line due to weather and long distances.  Therefore, in the next period of time, China may be on the defensive!

    "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, there are two main directions for the Holy Alliance's attack. One is Russia! The main forces of the German Army and the Russian Army will launch a fierce attack on our positions in the Ural Mountains and the Volga River! The current Volga River  It is still frozen, which is conducive for them to launch an attack! In another month, the river will thaw, and then they will lose the opportunity to attack! In the other direction, it is Gibraltar. What the Spaniards said about the last Gibraltar  They have always been brooding over the tragic defeat! They joined the Holy Alliance just to avenge themselves. At the request of Germany, the Spaniards are very likely to launch a large-scale attack on Gibraltar in an attempt to take Gibraltar back!"  Chief of Staff Marshal Cai Yun said.  After the war started, he became very busy, and now he looks very tired!

    "Can our defense line from the Ural Mountains to the Volga River withstand the attacks of the Germans and Russians?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Your Majesty, the Ural Mountains are not conducive to large-scale attacks. Therefore, the General Staff has judged that the Volga River will be the focus of the Russian offensive! Now, we have deployed three armies on the Volga River defense line, and two more on the second line.  Army Group, in addition, the fourteen cavalry brigades of the five Central Asian ethnic groups have also arrived at the front line and are ready to go into battle at any time! In the past few years, we have been building the Volga River defense line! To withstand the attacks of the German and Russian armies  , It¡¯s not that difficult!¡± said Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff.

    "Where is the air force? We must seize air supremacy on the battlefield!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Your Majesty, the Air Force will deploy three wings of F11 Vulture fighter jets on the Volga River frontline to compete for air supremacy in Eastern Europe! If necessary, we can also deploy more fighters at any time!" said Marshal Long Feiyu, Minister of Space.  After the war broke out, China's various aircraft manufacturers also received orders and began to fully produce the fighter aircraft needed by the army, navy and air force.  New fighter planes are also under intensive development!

    ¡°The Army Aviation Force will also invest in two wings of F11 ¡®Vulture¡¯ fighter jets, two wings of H9C ¡®Canghu¡¯ dive bombers and two wings of Q5 ¡®Night Owl¡¯ attack aircraft!

    With the guarantees from several military giants, Wang Yuze felt relieved!
