The Italian Minister of the Navy, Francisco, is a middle-aged man, he is not from the navy, and the reason why he was able to sit in this position is entirely because of his relationship with King Vittorio? Emanuele III had a good personal relationship.

With a layman leading the navy, it is no wonder that the Italian navy is terrible.

Francisco stood guard in the Admiralty's telegraph room, awaiting the outcome of the naval battle. He knew that both the king and the prime minister were waiting for the outcome of the naval battle. For the Kingdom of Italy, this naval battle is really crucial, and it is directly related to the fate of the kingdom!

"Why hasn't there been any news yet? Did we lose? What should I do? Francisco was worried.

For this naval battle, Francisco is actually very pessimistic. Although he did not come from the navy, he was also very aware of the strength of the German navy. It is precisely because of this that he does not have much hope for the combined fleet. Although, the strength of the Combined Fleet is not weak, but the German Navy is even stronger! If the Combined Fleet wanted to defeat the German Navy, it was almost unlikely.

Now, many high-ranking officials in the Kingdom of Italy are also very dissatisfied with betraying the Central Powers and joining the Entente to fight. To think that this is completely self-defeating. If the Kingdom of Italy had remained with the Central Powers, they would have won the war and shared in the dividends. It will not be the same as it is now, and it will be about to perish.

"Your Excellency, a telegram from General Paul." The secretary reported to Francisco.

Francisco snatched the telegram from his secretary almost with a snatch, and immediately read it. However, when he read the telegram, his face was already pale.

"Damn, I really lost. What's wrong with this? Francisco muttered.

The Combined Fleet unsurprisingly lost the decisive battle, and the losses inflicted on the German Navy were very small. It can be said that the German Navy once again won a complete victory in this decisive battle at sea. However, this was undoubtedly a disaster for the members of the Entente.

Francisco immediately rushed to the royal palace and asked King Vittorio? Emanuele III and Prime Minister Antonio? Sarandra reports on the results of the naval battle. Now that the naval battle has been lost, then they have to prepare early. Otherwise, once the German army launched a large-scale attack on the Kingdom of Italy, how could they resist it!

When Francisco arrives at the palace and reports to Vittorio the news of the defeat of the navy? King Emanuele III and Antonio? When Prime Minister Sarandra was Prime Minister Salandra, both of them were stunned.

"Sure enough, it failed! I knew a long time ago that we would not be able to defeat the Germans, and we would definitely lose! "Vittorio? King Emanuele III looked remorseful.

Antonio? Prime Minister Sarandra's face was also very ugly. Now that the navy had lost in this battle, the fate of their current Kingdom of Italy was almost certain.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to regret it. Since, the Navy has already lost. Then, we don't have a chance again. Now we have to find a way to preserve the Kingdom of Italy as much as possible. "Antonio? Prime Minister Sarandra said.

"Yes, yes, we want to preserve the Kingdom of Italy." Vittorio? Emanuele III nodded repeatedly. Although the battle was lost, the Kingdom of Italy must be preserved. It has only been more than 40 years since the unification of the Kingdom of Italy. They said they were not willing to allow the Kingdom of Italy to perish and divide again.

"Get the Foreign Secretary, if you want to negotiate peace with the Germans, the Foreign Secretary is the best candidate." Antonio? Prime Minister Sarandra said.

To this, Vittorio? Emanuele III, of course, had no objections.

Soon, Foreign Secretary Paul? So Boselli came to the palace. When he learned of the complete defeat of the Combined Fleet, his face was also very ugly.

"Your Majesty, since the war situation is already like this, then, no matter what, the war cannot be continued. If we want to keep the Kingdom of Italy, we must make peace with the Germans and end the war. "Paul? Boselli said.

"Yes, I think so too. Therefore, I have decided to appoint you with full responsibility for peace talks with the Germans. "Vittorio? Said King Emanuele III.

Paul? Boselli nodded: "Your Majesty, it is my duty to contribute my own strength to the kingdom. However, this time we were defeated, and if we wanted to make peace with the Germans, we would probably have to pay a great price. Otherwise, the Germans would never have let us go. ”

Vittorio? A hint of pain flashed across King Emanuele III's face. He also knew that this time he was probably going to bleed profusely. Although, he was a little reluctant in his heart. But he knew that if he could not satisfy the appetites of the Germans, perhaps the Kingdom of Italy would indeed be destroyed by the Germans. Unable to preserve the Kingdom of Italy, he had no choice but to beg the Germans for mercy. Who let the simple ghost be confused, betrayed the Central Powers, and joined the Entente? This is simply self-defeating!

"Talk to the Germans as much as you can, and make the kingdom pay as little as possible. In this war, the kingdom has paid a heavy price. If it is blackmailed by the Germans again, I am afraid that the kingdom will not be able to hold on. "Antonio? Prime Minister Sarandra said.

The Kingdom of Italy suffered a lot of losses in this war. The army was heavily damaged by the German-Austrian forces in the north, and even lost a lot of territory. The main fleet of the navy is now completely annihilated. Such a loss was completely unthinkable for the Kingdom of Italy, which was bent on taking advantage of the war.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I will do my best. However, I think we still have to be prepared to be blackmailed by the Germans. The Germans had too much advantage in this war. If they wanted to, they could even destroy us outright. So, expecting them to be kind and let us go will be almost impossible. "Paul? Boseli reminded.

Vittorio? Emanuele III and Antonio? Sarandra nodded repeatedly. They also knew how unfavorable the situation was for the Kingdom of Italy. It is already God forbid to be able to ask the Germans to raise their noble hands and spare them, and as for the rest, I am afraid that the only way to satisfy the Germans is to satisfy them as much as possible.
