The Kingdom of Italy, a country that had just completed its unification. However, now the people of the whole kingdom no longer have half of the joy after the reunification, but instead have a deep sense of fear. As a member of the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the Kingdom of Italy is simply a joke in this war. The Kingdom of Italy, with its 1.5 million troops, did not send a single soldier to participate in the battlefield. All the armies were used by them to defend the country. So much so that they could only watch the North Atlantic military alliance lose the war, and finally, the armies of the countries of the Eurasian military alliance began to approach the Kingdom of Italy.

Originally, the Kingdom of Sardinia was originally part of the Eurasian military alliance. However, King Vittorio. Unable to withstand the temptation of the North Atlantic Military Alliance, Emmanuele II betrayed the Eurasian Military Alliance and joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance. Their betrayal once made the European front of the Asia-Europe military alliance very tense and completely at a disadvantage. The Kingdom of Sardinia also thought that their joining of the North Atlantic military alliance would serve as the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this way, they will be able to be victors. Not to mention, as a condition for co-opting the Kingdom of Sardinia, France would voluntarily give up its protection of the Papal States.

France withdrew its troops from the Kingdom of Italy on its own initiative, allowing the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify the entire Kingdom of Italy without much effort. Such a light yì accomplished the goal of successive monarchs of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which made Vittorio. King Emanuele II was very excited. However, it was not long before disaster struck. The navy of the Chinese Empire launched an artillery bombardment of the coastal cities of the Kingdom of Italy, and countless Italians died tragically in the shelling of the Chinese navy. Coastal city after coastal city was bombed into ruins.

The territory of the Kingdom of Italy is like a boot reaching into the Mediterranean. The coastline is very long. This leads directly to the fact that many of Italy's important cities are located on the coast. After being heavily shelled by the Chinese Navy. The Kingdom of Italy suffered heavy losses. Large numbers of Italians had no choice but to flee inland from their homes. And this directly put the newly unified government of the Kingdom of Italy under great pressure.

Italians are very hostile to the Chinese who have destroyed their homeland. But for the culprit of this qiē, Vittorio. Emanuele II was also full of hatred. They think that if it weren't for Vittorio. If Emmanuele II had betrayed the Eurasian military alliance, Italy would not have been attacked by the Chinese navy. You must know that the Eurasian military alliance also supported the unification of Italy by the Kingdom of Sardinia. Unfortunately, under the temptation of England and France, Vittorio. King Emanuele II still chose to fall to the North Atlantic Military Alliance, and this. It directly leads to the grim shape that the Kingdom of Italy is now facing.

With the successive victories of the Apasian military alliance in the war, the North Atlantic military alliance has continued to fail. One powerful nation after another perished, which also led to opposition within the Kingdom of Italy against Vittorio. Emanuele II's voice grew louder and louder. At the same time, revolts against the king broke out throughout the kingdom due to food shortages, which made the Kingdom of Italy anxious.

What frightened the Kingdom of Italy even more was that with the end of the major wars on the European continent, the eyes of the Chinese Empire and other Eurasian military alliances had turned away from other European powers. It was transferred to the Kingdom of Italy. It is foreseeable that soon the armies of the Chinese Empire and other member countries of the Eurasian military alliance will launch an attack on the Kingdom of Italy. This made the entire Kingdom of Italy very nervous.

Win the war. They don't count on it. Even the powerful countries of Britain, France, Russia, Austria and other countries are not opponents of the Eurasian military alliance, how can the Kingdom of Italy win the war? If war breaks out, what awaits them will surely be a failure. When the time comes. The Kingdom of Italy, which had been united with great difficulty, would surely fall apart again.

Rome, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. The Catholic Church, which originally ruled the Papal States, has been driven to the Vatican. The entire royal palace of Rome already belonged to Vittorio. Emanuele II. But. Sitting high on a throne, Vittorio. Emmanuele II was not a little excited or happy, but was replaced by a deep horror and worry.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest information we have received, the warships of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy have returned to Gibraltar one after another for rest. Their next target, most likely, will be directed at us. In addition, a large part of the millions of troops deployed by the Chinese in France also began to advance south. The War Department believes that we must strengthen the defense of the border! Pilimonte, Minister of War of the Kingdom of Italy, said.

At the beginning, betraying the Asian-European military alliance and defecting to the North Atlantic military alliance, Pilemone was on the side of King Vittorio. On the side of Emanuele II. Now, as it turns out, this choice is undoubtedly extremely wrong. Soon, the Kingdom of Italy will have to pay for it.

"Are the Chinese still coming? We've waited so long, and this day is coming! "Vittorio. Emanuele's face was full of loneliness. He knew that this day would come sooner or later. However, when this day really came, his heart was filled with fear.

For the victory, Vittorio. Emanuele II was completely unexpected. The Chinese* army has proven themselves invincible in this war. The Italian army's combat effectiveness was already very low, and it was impossible to expect them to defeat the formidable Chinese army unless it was a manifestation of God. However, after the expulsion of the Papal States, Vittorio. Emmanuele II has become the object of Pope Pius IX and the curse of the Catholic See, how can God still help the Kingdom of Italy? Don't even think about it.

"Can our army resist the attack of the Chinese?" Count Cavour, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Italy, asked. This position is equivalent to the prime minister of other countries.

"Your Excellency, we can only fight as best we can. Although there are quite a few of our troops, most of them have to be deployed in the coastal areas to prevent the Chinese from launching landing operations, and there are not many troops deployed on the northwestern border. Pilemont said.

Count Cavour nodded, and said no more. Originally, Vittorio. Emmanuele II wanted to betray the Chinese Empire, and he tried to prevent it. However, in the end, it was not possible to convince His Majesty the King. After the outbreak of war, he also did his best to increase the strength of the Kingdom of Italy, but now it seems that it is all in vain. The unification of the Kingdom of Italy has just been completed, not only the strength of the state, but also the people's desire for Vittorio. The approval of King Emanuele II was very low, and it was almost impossible to expect everyone to unite against a foreign enemy in the event of an invasion.

Count Cavour was almost certain that if the Eurasian military alliance led by the Chinese Empire attacked the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Italy would be defeated. In the event of failure, the Kingdom of Italy, which had been united with great difficulty, would fall apart once again, and there would never be a chance of unification again.

Originally, if the Kingdom of Sardinia had not betrayed the Eurasian military alliance, they would have been able to unify the Kingdom of Italy in the war. And, as the victor, the Kingdom of Italy will share the benefits of the post-war period with other countries. With the help of this war, Vittorio. The reputation of King Emanuele II will also rise to the next level, winning the love of the Italian people. By that time, the Kingdom of Italy had become a truly unified nation.

However, all of them failed. Because of Vittorio. The paranoia of King Emanuele II directly led the country to a catastrophe. The efforts of the kings of the Kingdom of Sardinia will also be wasted for this purpose.

"What about the Prussians? What happened to their troop movements? "Vittorio. King Emanuele II asked.

The Chinese Empire posed a direct threat to the Kingdom of Italy. After defeating Austria-Hungary, the Prussian army was also able to cross the border and attack directly into the northeastern part of Italy. Vittorio. King Emmanuele II believed that the Prussians would not miss this opportunity to slaughter the Kingdom of Italy.

"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, the Prussians have amassed more than 100,000 men on our border with Austria-Hungary. And that number is rising. War Secretary Pilemont said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it now seems that the end of the Kingdom of Italy is near. In the face of the offensive of the Eurasian military alliance, we cannot win! "Vittorio. Emanuele II's face turned pale. He did regret it now, if he had known, he should not have betrayed the Eurasian military alliance for the sake of the little interests proposed by Britain and France, and became a traitor, not to mention, it would make the Kingdom of Italy pay an unbearable price.

Everyone was silent, especially those who supported the betrayal of the Asia-Europe military alliance and joined the North Atlantic military alliance in the first place. The Kingdom of Italy was undoubtedly destroyed at their hands. Had it not been for their short-sightedness, the Kingdom of Italy might not have come this far.

Count Cavour shook his head and smiled bitterly, he knew today, why bother in the first place? Now, it's too late to say anything. This time, the Kingdom of Italy may not be able to escape the catastrophe. The Kingdom of Italy, which has been unified for less than a year, will be divided again, and everyone's efforts will be in vain! (To be continued......)
