Chapter 158: Simeone's Choice
General Simeone, who had been waiting for him from all sides, finally returned home, and his return rekindled the wave of victory that had been quelled. Of course, the government, the military, and all aspects of the pushers have played a key role.
In the newspapers, the general Simeone was touted for his good life, and of course it was slightly processed on the basis of facts.
For example, in the Battle of Alem, he fought with the Abyssinian Emperor Johannes IV, and his Praetorian Guard became 110,000 Abyssinian warriors, and the enemy used rifles. And the 20,000 Italian troops he led became 10,000 troops, and the indigenous cavalry was not mentioned.
So in the newspapers, it turned out that he took 10,000 Italian troops, reinforced the 6th Mountain Brigade, and in the Battle of Alem, killed the enemy emperor and forced the Abyssinians to submit to Italy.
Such a person who opened up territory for Italy was not a hero, so he also felt the enthusiasm of the people, if he was not almost fifty years old, he would have received two bags of love letters. In fact, he also received more than a dozen love letters, but they were all thrown away by him.
You must know that Simone and his wife have been married for more than 20 years, and the relationship between the two is very good, he will not make such a mistake.
It was only after the communication with the people was completed that Simeone was given the time he could arrange freely. When it comes to freedom, he needs to visit several people. The first of them is His Majesty Carlo, who supported himself as the commander of the expeditionary force. As for the other army bosses, they must wait until they meet the king before they can visit them one by one.
So as soon as Simeone got a break, he immediately went to the palace to meet Carlo. Of course, the news also spread throughout Rome the fastest.
For this meeting with Simeone, Carlo did not put it in the office, but chose his own reception room. This is enough to see how much Carlo attaches importance to Simeone.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
In the reception room, as soon as he saw Carlo, Simeone paid his respects.
"Excuse me, as a hero who has made great contributions to the country, General Simeone, you look thinner, and you have darkened a lot, and you have worked hard."
In the face of Simeone's etiquette, Carlo stepped forward and helped him up, and his Excellency the lieutenant general was very touched by the words in his mouth.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, I'm fine, it's just that I was sunburned in Africa."
Looking at Lieutenant General Simeone in front of him, Carlo asked with concern. "So what are your plans to come back this time?"
"Not yet, I intend to return to the Third Army to continue leading the boys."
In response to Carlo's inquiry, Simeone stated his intentions. Although he was highly praised in domestic public opinion, Simone himself knew that this war with the Abyssinians would not add much to himself. The main thing is to fight the Africans, victory is what it deserves, if there are other results it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the commander, even Abyssinia, which is currently the strongest in Africa and the most difficult to attack in the terrain, is also classified in this category.
Although he knew that these Abyssinians were difficult to fight, the military top brass did not think so, which led to his brilliant victory, and he was accused of causing excessive casualties to the army. Perhaps, in the minds of these people, Africans should charge at them with spears, and the army only needs to set up a formation like hunting, and keep shooting and hunting.
Of course, he couldn't convince these people by relying on his mouth with the officers and soldiers of the expedition, so Simone didn't bother to say it. When the visit was finished, he returned to his Third Army to continue training them.
In this war, the Third Army led by himself did not have a small problem, although it seemed that he had good training on weekdays, but he knew that there were still many problems when he went to the battlefield. Of course, these problems are all minor problems, but there are no major problems that affect combat effectiveness, otherwise he should be in a hurry.
In response to Simeone's words, Carlo nodded and replied. "It's good to go back to the Third Army, at least you can calm down and train your troops. Now the War Department in Rome is a mess. ”
What Carlo said, Simone didn't dare to answer. Before he returned to Rome, he received news that the king did not have a good relationship with the upper echelons, which made him afraid to talk about it.
Seeing that Simeone didn't dare to answer, Carlo's temptation was over, and he changed the subject.
"How do you feel about facing the people these days?"
"Very good, although people are very tired, but seeing that I can be welcomed by so many people, I feel that the sacrifice and struggle of myself and the officers and men of the expeditionary force are worth it."
General Simeone, who had been waiting for him from all sides, finally returned home, and his return rekindled the wave of victory that had been quelled. Of course, the government, the military, and all aspects of the pushers have played a key role.
