On 29 April, Allied forces in the Caucasus tentatively launched an offensive against the Russian steppes of Central Asia.

They soon discovered that there were not many Russians, and that the long front was almost defenseless, allowing the movement of armored forces unhindered.

When Kuster learned about it, his confidence also swelled unstoppably.

He hastened his deployment, but lacked adequate preparations, and some troops were called upon to attack enemy cities before they even had time to regroup.

If these cities were not garrisoned by enemy troops, perhaps they would not have swaggered in.

On the same day, about 12 divisions received orders to attack.

With so many people, it shouldn't be difficult to occupy large areas.

But the reality is always the opposite of the ideal, and as of the next day, the Caucasus has not formed a complete encirclement of the remaining Russian army, and the few hectares occupied are still too few for Russia's vast territory.

Moreover, they don't have enough troops, thinking that Sandezi invested millions of people back then and couldn't fill the entire front, it is really delusional that the 400,000 people of Kuster want to do such a big vote.

A quick blitzkrieg against Russia was simply not feasible, the mud of spring had just passed, there were still ruins left on Russian soil, and the poor infrastructure made it impossible to move an inch.

These major economic problems, on the contrary, helped Russia a lot during the war, greatly slowing down the advance of the Allied army, which was more than its Russian soldiers.

It seems that there is still hope for everything in the war.

Unfortunately, internal crises are often the most urgent, and they come much faster than those external pressures.

The situation in Russia is not as simple as it was yesterday, the scale of the rebellion is rapidly expanding, and the people of almost all regions except Siberia are rising up against the brutal tyranny of the tsarist autocracy.

Interestingly, the people who led these were scattered at first, but they were soon gradually unified and controlled by the bourgeoisie.

But they didn't do anything impulsive, just asking the tsar to stop conscription and allow them to take over the businesses that had been supported by the government.

The Tsar did not want to suffer such a big loss, so naturally he would not agree, but even the royalists dissuaded the Tsar from delegating some power to prevent a greater crisis.

The commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Brusilov, stopped the offensive only in order to force the tsarist government.

The Tsars rebelled and had to negotiate with the bourgeoisie and signed the Entente with their own hands.

Experts estimate that the Tsar's losses this time should be very large, and the Romanov dynasty will basically not recover after the war, but it is not yet known whether they will survive the war.

Fortunately, after the signing of the treaty, the capitalists quickly stopped, and the remaining rebellions were basically started by the hungry people, and it did not take long to put down.

But all of a sudden, Russia almost lost its ability to fight, the tsar's dictatorship was crushed, Russia's centralized autocracy ceased to exist, and power was delegated to the bourgeoisie, and the entire Russian politics was rapidly dispersed, and it was completely impossible to solve the problem quickly, let alone mobilize troops in a unified manner.

When King George V learned about it, he trembled and could not speak for a long time.

French President Poincaré was also haggard and couldn't believe the newspaper in his hand.

In their view, although the era of the criminal Tsar casually executing people was over, the price came at the loss of a very precious ally.

It was now understood that it was too late for Germany to really attack, and everyone in British and French politics could not but deplore and deeply regret their actions.

In order to make up for this loss, the Entente had to find another ally.

And this ally is undoubtedly Italy, which has betrayed the Central Powers not long ago, and it is almost impossible to have any relations with them.

Although it is not good to find a wall grass, at this time it is difficult for the Entente to protect itself, and if it can pull a few people in.

It's easy to extend an olive branch, the question is how they pull Italy in.

As a wall-to-wall grass, Italy only does things that harm others and benefit itself, and although its own strength is difficult to describe, its ambitions are not ordinarily small.

They called themselves "the true heirs of Rome" and believed that they should have the territory of the Roman Empire at its peak.

Coupled with the fact that the Allies swept the world with the victory of Eastern Europe, most of the countries in Europe were deeply affected by it, and Bulgaria directly entered the war.

Such a bad war situation made everyone worry about the strength of the Entente, and almost no one would be with him, but the United States was very happy to sell arms.

However, Italy itself was also threatened by the Allies, and the Kaiser kept clamoring for revenge, especially after the continuous victories on the Eastern Front, his assumptions became more and more daring, and the export of Zaun to Italy continued to increase.

Thinking of the pressure brought to them by the Germans not long ago, Britain and France trembled their legs, and Italy did not dare to squeak.

Britain and France then jointly declared that the remaining powers in Europe should unite against the dictatorship of the Kaiser and break their ambitions to conquer Europe.

But in fact, few people agreed, and the Scandinavian countries politely sent a few ambassadors to get acquainted, while Switzerland ignored them at all.

Only Italy affirmed this, but fearful of completely enraging Germany, did not openly express their intentions.

Britain and France said that as long as Italy entered the war, they would do their best to support Italy's "Roman dream".

The British Prime Minister made it clear that he would give part of his colonies to Italy after the war, but did not specify which part.

The French also said that they would cede their North African colonies to Italy after the war, and that if Turkey collapsed after the war, they would help Italy conquer the Middle East.

The French government even said that if Italy entered the war, they would return Corsica directly to Italy.

These conditions were clearly attractive to Italy, and even though some thought it was a blank promise, the Italian government secretly agreed and said it would wait for an opportunity to enter the war.

Seeing Italy so upright, Britain and France, which had been tormented by the war, finally showed a glimmer of vitality.

However, considering that Italy could not even defeat an ancient African country, France secretly sent troops to the Alps to support the local Italians.

The Italian government acquiesced in France's actions and soon aftered granted the Entente military access, which was almost indistinguishable from a direct participation in the Entente.

So on May 2, Italy went to war without declaring it.

Hundreds of thousands of Italian mountain troops, together with the French, attacked Austria-Hungary in Tyrol, taking the Allies by surprise.

But those Tyroleans who have been crawling in the Alps and have long been familiar with the mountains, how can they be well along?
