At 6 a.m. on May 20th, at the Royal Palace of Caserta, Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Murphy Ros. Jolitti and Deputy Chief of the Army General Staff Petro. Admiral Badoglio hurried here. Neither of them expected that yesterday they got the news that the squadron ** might launch an attack on Italy, and as a result, this morning the Chinese had already launched a landing operation against Rome, the capital of Italy! For them, it was like a bolt from the blue. The speed of action of the squadron was completely beyond their imagination.

Vittorio. King Emmanuele II summoned Giovanni with a sleepy face. Prime Minister Jolitti and Petro. Admiral Badoglio, who doesn't seem to have understood what is happening. During this time, he was very stressed, often insomnia at night, and was only able to fall asleep in the morning. So after the stupid oh woke up, Vittorio. Emmanuele II was also in a very bad mood!

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

"What? The Chinese called? How is this possible? "Vittorio. Emmanuele II's eyes widened. The original drowsiness also disappeared at this moment. Squadron attack. It made him feel fear from the depths of his heart. If he can't resist the attack of the squadron, he may have to be the king of the country!

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

Although they were separated by more than 20 kilometers, the earth-shattering sound of the battleship's main guns exploding could be faintly heard in Rome. Vittorio. Emmanuele II didn't care at first, but now he calmed down. Sure enough, I heard it clearly.

"It's over, the Chinese are really calling, what should we do now?" Vittorio. Emmanuele II asked with a pale face? He now did not know what to do, and after asking the generals of the army last night, he already knew that the strength of the Italian army could not withstand the attack of the Chinese. Especially now that Rome's defenses are extremely empty, I am afraid that the fall of Rome is imminent!

"Your Majesty, I've already sent reinforcements to reinforce the front line! Moreover, orders have been given to the rest of the troops to reinforce Rome! However, we still need some time now! "Petro. Admiral Badoglio said.

"General Badoglio. Will we be able to withstand the Chinese attack? "Vittorio. Emmanuele II looked at Petro with a look of hope. Admiral Badoglio.

"Your Majesty, unless our troops on the front line can rush back in time. Otherwise, we will not be able to withstand the attacks of the Chinese! According to the report of the 14th Infantry Division, the sea was full of Chinese transport ships, and they had at least hundreds of thousands of people to land, and they were all elite troops drawn from North America by the Chinese. "Petro. Badoglio said with a blush. He did not sue Sù Vittorio. Emmanuele II, if the squadron really landed on a large scale, let alone resist the attack of the squadron in Rome, even if it was the whole of Italy, it was estimated that it would only end up defeated. Italy will obviously become the second country to be destroyed by China in this war!

Listened to Petro. After the words of Admiral Badogrio, Vittorio. Emmanuele II sat down in his chair at once, his eyes blank, and his whole body seemed to be struck down by the news!

"Your Majesty, Rome is no longer safe, let's evacuate Rome! Otherwise, when the Chinese call, we won't be able to leave! "Italian Prime Minister Giovanni. Jollidi persuaded. The Chinese launched a landing operation directly in Rome, apparently wanting to defeat Italy in one battle. If they continue to hold on to Rome, Italy will lose and will not 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!

"Humph! I'm not going to leave Rome! Even if it's death, I'm going to die in Rome! "Vittorio. Emmanuele II said stubbornly. The former capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia was Turin, and it was only 40 years ago that the Kingdom of Sardinia unified Italy and occupied Rome by armed force and made it the capital of Italy. Vittorio. Emmanuele II didn't want to flee Rome in such a disgraced manner.

"Your Majesty, we need to think long-term! Only by evacuating Rome and gathering the armies of the Kingdom of Italy will there be a chance to win! "Giovanni. Prime Minister Joliti persuaded.

"Haha! Your Excellency, are you kidding again? The Chinese have clearly stated that they are going to destroy Italy, no matter where we flee, it is useless, this war, Italy has already been defeated! General Badoglio, am I right? The Italian Army does not have the strength to defeat the Chinese? "Vittorio. Emmanuele II said.

Petro. Admiral Badogglio didn't say a word, but his expression already said that Vittorio. Emmanuele II was absolutely right. No matter where they flee, Italy will inevitably be destroyed!

Giovanni. Prime Minister Giolliti continued to persuade that at this time an officer had asked Petro. Admiral Badoglio reported that the Army's 14th Infantry Division had been routed by Chinese and that Chinese was making a massive landing.

Petro. Admiral Badogglio hurriedly retired, he needed to arrange the defense of Rome, and Giovanni. Prime Minister Giolliti continued to persuade the recalcitrant Vittorio. Emmanuele II evacuated the Italian royal family and government to northern Italy. In this case, Italy may still have a chance. But to convince the stubborn Vittorio. Emmanuele II is no easy task!

Petro. Not long after Admiral Badogglio returned to the Army Staff, he received the bad news again, and the remnants of the 13th and 16th Infantry Divisions and the 14th Infantry Division of the Italian Army, which had gone to reinforce them, had been bombed by Chinese aircraft, suffered heavy losses, and had collapsed. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Italian army. You must know that in addition to these infantry divisions, now Petro. Admiral Badoglio had only one infantry division in Rome.

Petro. Admiral Badogglio ordered the 15th Infantry Division in Rome to prepare for battle and at the same time collect the rout of the front, and also sent orders to those troops that were rushing towards Rome, telling them to speed up and reach Rome as soon as possible.

As this qiē was followed by Petro. Admiral Badoglio once again rushed to the Palazzo de Caserta and met with Giovanni. President Giolitti worked together to persuade Vittorio. Emmanuele II abandoned Rome. He knew that Rome would fall if he didn't wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Giovanni. Prime Minister Jolitti and Petro. Admiral Badoglio struggled to convince Vittorio. Emmanuele II evacuated Rome, which made the two breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the royal family and government dignitaries to start preparing for the evacuation. The reason why Vittorio. Emmanuele II would change his mind and be completely Petro. Admiral Badogrio's intimidation worked, and Petro. Admiral Badoglio sued Sù Vittorio. Emmanuele II, the Chinese are murderous without blinking, they killed tens of millions of whites in North America, and two cities in southwestern Spain were slaughtered by the Chinese. If Rome had fallen, they, the Italians, would not have been able to escape!

Vittorio. Although Emmanuele II did not want to flee Rome in disgrace, he still believed that saving his life was the most important thing at the most critical moment. Anyway, I don't have to worry about the lack of firewood! If the little life is gone, then it will be over.

It's just that when Vittorio. When Emmanuele II tried to evacuate Rome, they found that Rome was already surrounded! Squadrons have appeared in the north and south of Rome, and there are also quite a few squadrons in the east!

Petro. Admiral Badogglio was keenly aware that the encirclement of the squadron was still relatively weak, so he ordered the 15th Infantry Division to attack north, in a vain attempt to tear apart the encirclement of the squadron. However, they were attacked by a T5 'Cheetah' tank company and a T4 'Wild Wolf' tank company of the 7th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, as well as a mechanized infantry company! Although the 15th Infantry Division of the Italian Army had tens of thousands of men, the Chinese and Canadian who attacked them had only a few hundred, less than a thousand. But in the face of invulnerable tanks and armored vehicles, the attack of the 15th Infantry Division of the Italian Army lasted less than twenty minutes before it was repulsed! Subsequently, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Chinese Navy flew to Rome and carried out a fierce bombardment of the 15th Infantry Division of the Italian Army, which completely caused the collapse of this infantry division!

As more and more squadrons arrived in Rome, and the siege of Rome by the squadrons became more and more solid, it became delusional for the Italian king and the top of the government to escape from Rome! (To be continued......)
