The implementation of the wartime management system in Italy surprised the other participating countries, and at the same time the thought flashed in their hearts, how can they still play like this?.

For Germany and Austria, Italy's wartime management system is worth referring to, and it can be combined with the details of their own countries to introduce a wartime management system that is more in line with their own.

For the Entente countries, Britain and Russia, the Italian system is also of reference significance. As for France, which had suffered the heaviest losses at present, it was directly implemented after obtaining the wartime management system of Italy.

It seems that all the countries involved in the war had the same understanding of the wartime management system, and each of them referred to it and promulgated or prepared to promulgate it.

While Italy was vigorously implementing the wartime management system at home, a grand welcoming ceremony was being held at the port of Mogadishu in East Africa to welcome the former Union Pacific Fleet, which had successfully arrived in Mogadishu after more than 20,000 kilometers. Why do you say original?

Because the fleet was disbanded as soon as it entered the port of Mogadishu, they were all integrated into the Combined Indian Ocean Fleet. And Vice Admiral Spee, who has made great achievements, will also become the deputy of Vice Admiral Hilma, the commander of the fleet, and continue to gallop the sea.

It was not easy for Spee to come back with the Combined Pacific Fleet, when the attack on Wellington was worse than that of Sydney, and the fleet shells were reduced to two-fifths of the stock. Naturally, there were many casualties among Wellington, with a total of more than 2,000 Wellington soldiers and civilians.

This angered Major General Craddock and strengthened Spee's view that he wanted to flee east. Having succeeded in misleading Rear Admiral Craddock, Spee and his fleet returned to the Tasman Sea from the southern part of the South Island, where they cautiously crossed the Tasman Sea into the Indian Ocean close to the Antarctic Circle.

The roaring westerly wind belt in the southern part of the Indian Ocean made the officers and men of Spee's fleet feel the wind and waves, and even caused many officers and men to feel seasick. You must know that these are people who have been drifting on the sea all year round, and no one has ever seen strong winds and waves. But the westerly wind belt here is different, because it does not have a time to subside, or only a brief time.

After this storm, the Spee fleet finally had good luck, passing through the waters of the Seychelles, actually encountered a small fleet of four British merchant ships, thanks to the gift of nature, the Spee fleet received enough supplies and fuel, and then finally arrived in Mogadishu.

Vice Admiral Spee was able to not only play the enemy with the fleet under the contrast of the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, but also turn Australia and New Zealand upside down. This has exceeded the expectations of the alliance camp for him, and since he has made such a meritorious achievement, it is impossible not to reward him heavily. However, given that it is in East Africa, there is no way to recall it, so it can only be held locally.

"Lieutenant General Spee, thank you for your guerrilla operations in Southeast Asia and Oceania, which have caused great losses in Australia and New Zealand. In recognition of your merits, the Emperor of your country has awarded you the Great Iron Cross and the Silver Cross of our country. Because of the war, it is not possible for the two monarchs to give you a grand investiture ceremony, so I have to do it for you. ”

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Hilma took out two medals from the tray beside him and put them on one after another.

"Salute."

As a salute sounded, the officers and men of the Indian Ocean Fleet present saluted Vice Admiral Spee in unison. At the same time, the ceremonial flowers and ribbons were also thrown into the air, and the scene was grand and heavy.

In the face of such a grand scene, Lieutenant General Spee's heart was satisfied, and he immediately returned the salute with his right hand.

Of course, in addition to the grand ceremony, there were also all kinds of food and wine to treat the stomachs of these hard-working officers and men, so that the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet, who had been adrift at sea for several months, were finally released. Singing, dancing, frolicking, and so on, today's highly disciplined Mogadishu military port has made a special exception for these officers and soldiers who have returned from a battle of 10,000 miles.

Ordinary officers and soldiers can do the same, but the generals, who are the top officials of the former Pacific Fleet, attended another banquet. This is specially prepared for them.

The long table was filled with a variety of food and drinks, and a military band played a cheerful tune. There are also girls from local tribes dancing local dances, which are so graceful and beautiful.

The captains in ceremonial clothes held various kinds of fine wines and chatted while drinking. It's like having a drinking party, and of course it's at least the captain's level.

Of course, everyone who came to the reception was not stupid, and knew that this was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other, so at this time at the reception, the captains continued to get to know each other and introduce each other. After all, I don't know when to go on a mission with the other party, and if I don't even know anyone, how can I cooperate.

As for several high-ranking members of the fleet, they gathered in a small circle and chatted.

"Lieutenant General Spee, I have a lot of admiration for your actions in Australia and New Zealand. Our Indian Ocean Fleet has simulated your tactics before, and it's perfect. ”

"Thank you for your praise, at that time, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and I also broke through the scalp to come up with a way for the fleet, but I didn't expect it to really go through."

For Lieutenant General Hilma's praise, Spee was quite polite at this time. After all, the next two will live together, compared to the German Navy in the Pacific Fleet, the Italian fleet is now the only one, so the respect that should be given must be there.

A fleet commander can't just understand military affairs, otherwise he won't be able to continue to be promoted.

Lieutenant General Spei was quite satisfied with Lieutenant General Spee's answer, and it could be seen from his words that he also had a lot of respect for himself, because he didn't want the two to have problems in the future. So he planned to inform him in advance.

"Vice Admiral Spee, originally I wanted to tell you in a few days, but considering the current situation of our Indian Ocean Fleet, I will let you know in advance."

"Your Excellency, Commander, please speak up."

"At present, our fleet is mainly stationed in the ports of Massawa and Mogadishu, and our enemy is quite strong. The British Indian Ocean Fleet has 8 pre-dreadnought warships, 16 cruisers, 27 cruisers, and more than 100 other destroyers, submarines, and torpedo boats. In terms of strength, it is more than three times stronger than us. At present, the main task of our Indian Ocean Fleet is to contain this fleet and threaten the other side's transportation lines at any time......"

Vice Admiral Hilma's introduction gave Vice Admiral Spee some insight into the current situation of the Combined Indian Ocean Fleet, and just as he wanted to thank Vice Admiral Hilmar for his introduction, he saw an officer holding a telegram and handing it to him.

Lieutenant General Hilma took the telegram and looked at it, his brow changing from nervous at first to soothing, which seemed to be good news.

After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Hilma waved to the military band, and the music stopped, as did the dancing tribal girls.

At this time, I saw Lieutenant General Hilma walking to the middle of the venue and saying loudly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you, just now our intelligence services have cooperated with Abyssinian King Ayasu to thwart a plot to overthrow the kingdom, and have arrested Princess Zorditu and Tafari, the governor of Harar Province, who are working with the British and conspiring to overthrow the kingdom."

"These damn Britons, they really have them everywhere!"

"That's right, these damn British bugs know how to conspire."

"Well done by the Kingdom's intelligence department!"

Lieutenant General Hilma's words caused the officers present to shout loudly, some cursing the British who played a role behind the scenes, and some praising the intelligence department.

"Alright guys, a toast to our staunch ally, King Abyssinia Ayasu."

"A glass to Ayasu."

With Lieutenant General Hilma's words, everyone present raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine.

The Abyssinian kingdom cracked a case of rebellion, and the incident was extremely beneficial to King Eyassus. With the help of the heads of the two princesses and the governor, the other governors and dukes put away their little thoughts.

At this time, unless the Italian East African army was defeated and important cities such as Massawa and Mogadishu were captured, no one dared to contact the British.

Of course, this also relieved the Italians in East Africa, and now they are united, just waiting for the British army to come to the door and try the results of Italy's military construction in East Africa for more than 20 years.
