Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war on Serbia seems to have opened a safety valve in Europe, and countries that have long been overwhelmed by pressure have fried the pot.
The day after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia announced a general military mobilization order, which was a strong response to Austria-Hungary moving its younger brother.
With Russia’s general military mobilization, Germany, which had already promised Austria-Hungary, also immediately announced a general military mobilization. The German response fell into the eyes of the French, so the French also carried out a general military mobilization.
The current situation has fallen into a passive state as all countries have announced military mobilization. At this time, everyone is playing a game of cowards, and no one dares to take a step back. Because of the surging public opinion, they have no way out.
As for Italy, as an ally of Germany and Austria, after so many years of benefits, Italy also needs to fulfill its obligations as an ally. Besides, Austria-Hungary also took out the Tyrol region as a benefit, and Italy is even more obliged.
So the day after Germany announced the general mobilization, Italy was also preparing for the general mobilization.
In his office, under the watchful eyes of the Prime Minister and the military, Carlo signed his name on the General Military Mobilization Act.
This Italian military mobilization order will allow Italy to recruit militia reserves into the army, and transportation and its tools, military industry and various departments will enter military control. It can be said that as long as Carlo signs the decree, Italy will enter military control.
After recruiting a large number of reserves and militia, the Italian army will reach the scale of 1 million within three months and 1.5 million after half a year.
Carlo then handed the signed decree to Prime Minister Cruz.
“Prime Minister Cruz, now I authorize the general mobilization of the military by Your Excellency.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Amid the crowd’s attention, Prime Minister Cruz took over the bill.
All walks of life are looking forward to this military mobilization decree.
Nationalists saw this as a sign of the rise of Italy, and the Kingdom of Italy should attribute all Italian-speaking territories to the kingdom. In addition, Italy should, like the Roman Empire in history, bring the Mediterranean into its own jurisdiction.
The same is true for the business community. The kingdom should occupy more territory and colonies, and let its own products sell well in the world under the glory of the kingdom.
For ordinary people, under the conscious propaganda of the government these years, they have also linked their own destiny to the kingdom. For them, when the kingdom is stronger, their days will be better. For a better life in the future, they must stand up and make sacrifices for the kingdom. These sacrificed people are great and will be passed down by future generations. It lives in everyone’s heart.
Is it very familiar? Yes, this is someone who has passed the essence of Confucianism to the public little by little over the years. Of course, in these years, the rapid development of Italy and the victories in several wars made the people of the kingdom choose to accept it.
If it is replaced by repeated defeats and economic downturn, you will see whether the people believe what you say.
As for Cruz, he is also confident in this game. However, unlike the blindness of the public, his confidence is more reflected in the data.
Because of his position, Cruz knows the preparations of the kingdom. He believes that no country can prepare better than Italy. All kinds of war preparation materials have already filled the Italian storage warehouse, and as early as a few years ago, Italian military enterprises have begun to operate at full capacity.
He really couldn’t think of any reason for the kingdom to lose in this war.
As for the military, let alone. The military is in addition to the equipment, training and morale of the military. They can also be very proud to say that their own reserves of weapons and ammunition alone are enough to expand the Italian army to three million, and to meet the combat reserve for half a year.
Fighting is about logistics. The Italian military has long understood this concept, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, for the upcoming war, the military is also full of confidence and is ready to show its strength in this war and seize enough benefits for the Kingdom of Italy.
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the government and public opinion have completed preparations for war. In addition, various departments have been studying and negotiating plans for wartime economic control and national material rationing, and it is expected that the results will be available in three months.”
Cruz took over the bill, stating to Carlo what the government needs to prepare next.
Yes, Cruz was talking about wartime economic regulation.
For every posterity, it is very natural for the war to enter into wartime regulation.
At this time, countries also had wartime controls, but they were very crude, and could even be described as an afterthought.
For Carlo, this kind of wartime control of pediatrics does not meet the needs of Italy. Although it is difficult to make Italy have a national wartime system like a red country, it is still possible to learn the essence of it.
Therefore, combined with Italy’s own national conditions, the Italian version of the wartime system was gradually perfected under the auspices of Carlo. The main focus was on squeezing the losses in the production phase, devoting every ounce of Italian energy to the war. The core of this wartime system is the rationing of national materials. To put it simply, the government controls the needs of daily life, and the government must distribute how much food each person eats every day.
Some people may ask, isn’t that farmers who can grow their own food and sell it?
Yes, farmers’ grain can indeed be sold, but there can only be one buyer, and that is the government. Others buy directly from peasants and will be punished according to the decree, and the most serious ones will be distributed to the battlefield to atone for their sins. Do the hardest and most tiring work, and still can’t enjoy the treatment that a soldier should have.
Of course, in addition to food, other factories in Tawau that produce daily necessities are under the jurisdiction of the government at this time. The original owner of the factory can become the management, but must obey the government’s orders.
Of course, this system is not perfect, and there must be people who exploit loopholes, but as long as it can ensure that the vast majority of people follow the requirements and publicize the punishment of those arrested for exploiting loopholes, it will be enough to ensure the implementation of the Act.
At present, the government has not issued the Italian version of wartime control. The reason is very simple. Many officials have not yet figured out many things. If you want people to implement them, they must understand that they are not.
“Prime Minister Cruz, this is hard work for you.”
At this time, the captain of the guard came in with a secret telegram, and he muttered in Carlo’s ear. “Your Majesty, both Germany and Austria-Hungary agreed to hold an urgent negotiation in Munich to discuss the war trend of the three countries. The time will be set for tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, I see.”
After replying to the captain of the guard, Carlo then opened his mouth to the military and political officials present. “Everyone, Germany and Austria have agreed to our request for talks in Munich, but in view of the current situation, I will lead the team to negotiate with the two ministers of the Navy and the Army and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, while the others stay at home for the pre-war. final preparations.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
This emergency negotiation was initiated by Carlo, but it was also in the interests of the three countries. After all, before the battle, some things needed to be negotiated. In particular, Italy’s ambitious demand for the Mediterranean needs to be negotiated before the war. As for why we chose to talk about the war, this is a matter of what the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom.
