My Italian Chapter 596

The talks between the three countries were mainly between governments on the first day, and what they talked about was basically the division of future interests and cooperation in industry.

Because the enemies faced by the Three Kingdoms are extremely powerful, and the talks basically do not involve core interests, but more about the future, so this also creates a feeling that the Three Kingdoms get along very well.

But this feeling disappeared immediately after one night, because the next three countries need to talk more about the pragmatic side.

"Your Excellency Simeone, our country needs your country to attack Serbia in the Kosovo area in order to achieve the intention of dispersing the power of the Serbs. At present, our country has assembled 200,000 people and will cross the Sava River from the north to attack the country. It takes your country's 80,000 people in Kosovo to support it, and the Serbs can be crushed."

During the one-day talks, this time the military of various countries acted as the protagonist, and it was General Hetzendorf, chief of staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who spoke at the moment.

He was talking about exactly what the Austro-Hungarian military needed.

The main content of today's talks is to coordinate the strategic consistency of the three countries. Naturally, the countries to be discussed need the military plans of allies to cooperate, and AustriHungary, which was the first to start the war, naturally needs to put forward its own demands first.

And what he first mentioned was that AustriHungary needed the assistance of Italy when it attacked Serbia.

"Your Excellency Herzendorf, your country's request is a bit difficult for our country at present, because our country is currently behind the Balkan territory with about 60,000 people. Can the current increase of troops catch up with your country's offensive?"

Simeone opened his mouth to talk about the current shortage of Italian troops. This is the time when Italy maintained the largest number of troops in the Balkans after the war with Turkey. On weekdays, the Chinese military only stationed 20,000 to 30,000 people here. Even during the Balkan War, Italy only had 50,000 troops stationed here. At present, more than 60,000 people are stationed, which is already a peak of the Italian garrison.

Some people may ask why Italy didn't station more troops in advance. The stationing of this army is not that simple. Before the mobilization order was issued, the total strength of the Italian army had just exceeded 600,000. Please keep in mind that this is the total strength of the Royal Italian Army. First, more than 80,000 people stationed in overseas colonies need to be deducted.

(There are more than 10,000 people in Borneo and more than 70,000 in East Africa. From the garrison, it can be seen who is more valued. Of course, this is also related to East Africa. It is because of Italy's nail in the Indian Ocean that Britain and France cannot use the Indian Ocean casually. Surrounding colonies reinforce the native land)

Secondly, Libya is an important oil and iron base in Italy, and it also needs to send troops to protect it, which has removed more than 60,000 people. Next, whether there is a need to station heavy troops on the French border, this will take another 240,000, and then whether it is necessary to station troops in various parts of the kingdom. In addition, the important areas of Sardinia and Sicily also need troops.

Then, does the military need to save some mobile troops, and the seeds for expanding the troops, just to be fully used. Therefore, as long as this force is used, it is never enough.

Of course, the troops we are talking about here are the troops formed by the Kingdom of Italy. As for the troops formed by the various colonial governments using local people, they are not counted.

The reason is simple. The combat effectiveness of the colonial army is worrying. Even the British Empire, which has always liked to use the colonial army, only used these cannon fodder to fill the trenches after the local army could not bear the high losses.

Admiral Herzendorf, who knew something about the situation in Italy, didn't care too much about it, but asked instead. "So how much can your country send troops to support our country in a week's time?"

Facing the inquiry from the Chief of Staff of AustriHungary, Simeone immediately spoke. "After a week, our Italian army can deploy 60,000 people to cooperate with your country's operations."

Since the Italians are still cooperative, General Hetzendorf will not ask too much, and then he talked with General Mao Qi about the cooperation between the two countries on the Eastern Front.

After the head of the Austro-Hungarian military finished talking, Moltke stood up and began to talk about Germany's combat needs.

"General Simeone, I wonder how many troops your country can mobilize to launch a diversionary attack on France in three days' time?"

As soon as Xiao Moqi said this, Simeone was shocked. Three days later, he would directly fight France. It seems that Germany has also planned for a long time.

"We can mobilize 300,000 troops on the French border to attack it."

Although he was surprised, Simeone was quite bold when he said this. In the expansion of the army, he was able to bring out 300,000 well-trained elite troops to cooperate with Germany's military operations. How can it not be described as heroic.

Little Moltke was very satisfied with Simeone's words, and after muttering a few words with other German generals, he took out a map and said. "Admiral Simeone, can I ask your country to launch a month-long offensive to France on the front line of the Alps to contain the strength of the French army?"

Little Maoqi's words were asking for help from Italy.

Because in these years, Little Moltke has been revising and promoting the Schlieffen combat plan, which is regarded as a treasure by the German military. Because this requires the German army to take risks and use risks to lure the French army to attack.

Little Mao Qi has always been worried about the thin left wing, and he wants to strengthen the thickness of the left wing. Therefore, if with the help of the Italian army, it can contain its 200,000 French troops, then the success rate of Schlieffen's plan will be greatly improved.

This is why Germany's requirements for Italy, except that the Suez Canal is too involved and has to intervene, the reason why other conditions are not modified.

If you ask for help, you must be courteous and virtuous.

Although the Germans don't understand the words, they understand the meaning.

"No problem, we can launch an offensive against the French army in three days. However, given the complex terrain on the border between our country and France, our country can only contain the French army in this area."

Simeone wants to destroy some illusions in Germany first~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Alps are not so easy to pass. It's okay to hold back, but if the other party has any excessive demands, then I'm sorry.

Regarding what Simeone said, Mo Qi and other high-ranking German soldiers did not offer any rebuttals.

Although many of them have never been to the terrain of the French-Italian border, the German military has also investigated it. The terrain is undulating mountains and ravines, which is very suitable for defense. As for attacking, it is very difficult. Even if the German army comes by itself, it will not be better than the Italian army.

Since both Germany and Austria have requested cooperation, and Italy has also met their requirements. Then when Italy comes to raise conditions next, it cannot favor one over the other.

Moreover, Italy's requirements are different from theirs. Italy has more needs for the navy.
