My Italian Chapter 679

The battle in the Nice area is very important to Italy, but the battle in the Nice area is not all of Italy.

At this time, as the brain of the kingdom, the city of Rome is extremely busy, and all departments in the city are busy without touching the ground. At this time, bills and orders were sent from Rome to various places, commanding the huge Italy to fight in this war.

"This document is given to the Ministry of Education."

"yes."

In this way, a plan to improve the patriotic curriculum and military training in universities, middle schools and primary schools was submitted from the Ministry of the Army to the Ministry of Education. As long as the Ministry of Education feels that there is no problem, then each school will implement this plan.

"Give this report to the Home Office."

This is a plan for the Ministry of Education to organize a student patriotic parade to request protection of internal affairs. I believe the Ministry of the Interior will not refuse, even if the Ministry of the Interior is busy like a dog right now.

The war connects the military and government departments like gears, pushing the Italian chariot to fight on the stage. And the person who masters this chariot, no need to think about it, is King Carlo, who is very prestigious in the kingdom.

At this time in the palace, which is the core of politics, Carlo is meeting a special person at this time.

"Tell me about your impressions of fighting in Tunisia."

Carlo sat behind the desk and asked about his son, Crown Prince Vittorio. At this time, he was still very satisfied with his son. Although the battle was mainly commanded by his deputy, Lieutenant General Brazo, Vittorio also corrected his attitude and did a good job in logistics, so that the Eighth Army could fight The city of Tunis has no logistical worries.

In front of the Eighth Army with priority in firepower and at every step, the Tunisian Army of the French Lieutenant General Achino was retreating steadily, and soon could only rely on the city wall for defense. Unfortunately, in the face of the Eighth Army's unparalleled superior artillery, Tunisia's civil structures simply cannot withstand blows.

Therefore, at the end of May, the French army could not withstand the blow. More than 50,000 French troops surrendered, but most of them were recruited from the colonies, and the French army had only a few thousand local officers and soldiers.

The Tunisian army of more than 200,000 people fought for two months, and only more than 50,000 people remained. One can imagine the combat effectiveness of its colonial army.

Faced with his father's inquiry, Vittorio expressed his feelings. "Although I did not participate in this battle, I still feel it is not easy. The logistics work must not be sloppy at all, otherwise it will cause serious consequences. In addition, I also commanded a regiment-level battle, and saw soldiers bleed and die in the battle , I feel a heavy responsibility on myself. It is not easy at all to let the soldiers survive the battle as much as possible. I think I am still a long way from being a qualified officer, which requires me to continue to work hard .”

What his son said made Carlo feel very gratified. The battlefield is indeed a big furnace. Even if he didn't go to the front line in person, he still made his son's character stronger. This is the character of a future monarch.

Thinking of this, Carlo looked at him with a hint of warmth. "That's right, you've made great progress. I'm very pleased. When the Battle of Egypt breaks out, I'm still waiting for your Eighth Army to perform well."

"Father, don't worry, I will show you with the Eighth Army." After finishing speaking, the crown prince announced with a standard military salute that what he said was not empty words, but a promise.

"I trust you."

Carlo said and patted the crown prince on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Facing his father's words of encouragement at this time, Vittorio showed a bright smile.

Facing his son's smile, Carlo has a little reflection at this time, is he being too strict with him?

But he quickly dismissed this idea. If he was an ordinary person, even a prince, he would not be so strict. But he is the future king, and he needs to bear too many responsibilities, so he can't relax a bit.

"Okay, you go to see your mother, wife and children first. You have been away for more than two months, and they miss you very much."

"Okay father, I'll go see them first."

Vittorio knew that his father had too many things to go away at this time, so he didn't bother. To be honest, he really missed his mother, wife, and children.

When Vittorio walked out of his father's office, he saw his mother, wife and children watching him.

Looking at the family waiting for him, Vittorio said with moist eyes. "I'm back."

Carlo missed the reunion of his son with his family because of many things.

At this time, the son had just left, and the guards notified the ministers of the sea and the army to see him.

It must be something very important for the two military heads to come together, so Carlo immediately let the two come in.

Sure enough, after the two came in to salute, Admiral Yagier, Minister of the Navy, spoke. "Your Majesty, this is our plan to attack Egypt."

As he spoke, he put a thick battle plan in front of Carlo.

Carlo opened it and looked, while the two military leaders waited silently.

This military plan is quite satisfactory. First, the navy will dispatch a combined fleet to seize sea power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Then the army marched from the coastal area, first capturing Alexandria, the home port of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, and then capturing the Cairo Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula. For Italy, Egypt has been a long-awaited goal, and now Italy is finally about to reach out and seize it.

In terms of plan, this is similar to the plan of the German-Italian Allied Forces in World War II, and they all go to the coastal areas.

This is also impossible. The land passage from Libya to Egypt is only in the coastal area, or else it can only pass through the Sahara Desert composed of long yellow sand. Is it possible for hundreds of thousands to pass?

And there is another advantage of going to the coastal area, that is, you can get supplies from the sea. This benefit is great. Think about how much material consumption your hundreds of thousands of troops need. The demand for water alone requires nearly a thousand tons per day, not to mention food and other supplies.

However, there are only dirt roads from Egypt to Libya, and the traffic conditions are worrying, let alone supplies from the sea.

In response to the desolation and lack of ports along the eastern coast of Egypt, the Navy has formulated a special supply plan, which is to use landing craft to complete the supply plan for the last section from sea to land.

Using landing craft to complete the last section of sea transportation can be said to be quite the best use of everything.

Of course, all of this requires the navy to suppress the navy of the Allied Powers, and the navy has full confidence in whether it can suppress the enemy.

Taking the current combined fleet as an example, the strength of 13 battleships and 5 patrol ships is far stronger than the 12 battleships and 3 patrol ships of the United Fleet of the Allies.

Not to mention in terms of quality, the two Roman-class battleships (Rome, Empire) crushed the audience. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Although the two Roman-class battleships have only been in service for less than half a year, and the latest Imperium has only been in service for less than a month (the paint is not dry), but it is equipped with a 380mm main gun and can defend against 350mm The shell armor will definitely become a well-deserved heavy cavalry in naval battles, and no one can block its attack.

As long as there is an advantage in naval warfare, the supply lines on land will be unimpeded.

After reading the battle plan, Carlo looked up at the two military leaders and said. "This plan says that I am very satisfied, so let's implement it according to the plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, the Egyptian campaign entered the preparation stage, and the next step was to deploy troops from various places and transport sufficient supplies. It is impossible to start the Egyptian campaign within three or four months. This is because the military has already transported a lot of personnel and materials within half a year.

Of course, to start the Egyptian campaign, other battlefields need to end. Fighting two major battles at the same time is unaffordable for the Italian military industry.
