The reason why King Ferdinand I refused to give General Banner 200,000 men was because he felt that part of the domestic army should be reserved to guard against the woolly bears in the north.

The woolly bears are now in Ukraine.

The Kelan area is inextricably linked to the White Army and the Allied Forces, and they may invade the Roniya territory at any time.

If some troops are not left behind just in case, let alone the king, he will not agree.

The nobles in the country will It is even more impossible to agree with the landlords!

Moreover, if the domestic troops are exhausted, if the nobles and landowners collude to oppose him, then he will be really in danger!

Therefore, in Ferdinand I's opinion, in addition to keeping the troops stationed in various places immobile, he must leave at least 50,000 troops around him to protect his safety!

In this way, he could bypass Parliament and directly allocate the army to General Banner, which would only be 100,000 people at most!

Hearing this number, General Buntner was very disappointed. One hundred thousand people plus his current army of 50,000 were only 150,000 people. 150,000 people sounds like a lot, but for the war between countries, As far as war is concerned, this is not much.

Moreover, before the Italians sent 100,000 troops to attack Odili, they got no benefits at all. Now that they have sent 150,000 troops, they probably won't get any benefits either!

Therefore, General Buntner felt very pessimistic about the progress of this war. He felt that he was likely to suffer a defeat!

...

On Odili's side, Mainz didn't know about the internal conflicts among the Ronnies, but since the Ronnies had not moved forward, he focused his attention on the Italians to the west!

Under Model's command, the German army gave full play to the active characteristics of flexible defense, attacking in all directions and robbing the Italians' rear with holes!

The Italians originally planned to send troops to rob them, but not only did they not get any benefits, but they were invaded into their hinterland several times by the German army. The entire Northern Italian army was turned upside down by the German army, and the people were in dire straits!

In mid-October, more than half a million Italian refugees who came south from the war-torn areas in the north finally arrived in the capital, Rome, after a lot of hard work.

However, the Roman authorities did not allow these refugees to enter the city. The reason was that if these people were allowed to enter the city, Rome's financial system would not be able to afford it, and with so many people flooding in all at once, Rome's social security would also collapse. They There are simply not so many police officers who can guard so many refugees!

So the government authorities directly sent troops to stop these refugees outside!

The refugees worked hard to reach the capital, and in order to get food in the capital, the government sent troops to stop them and refused to allow them to move forward. This made the refugees very angry, and some radical young people even started to Launched an armed attack on the army that intercepted them. When the army was attacked, they immediately used machine guns to shoot at them and dispatched cavalry to suppress them!

This move caused an uproar throughout Italy!

Originally, the people were very dissatisfied with the Italian government after the war. The reason for their dissatisfaction was also very simple. At the Iron Tower City Peace Conference, as the victorious countries, they failed to obtain greater benefits for Italy. They only got South Tyrol. Compared with the fat intestines and brains eaten by other countries, it can be said that they got nothing!

If the Italians had nothing to lose and paid nothing during the war, then this kind of treatment would actually be justified. However, the Italians paid a huge price in the war. There were more than 600,000 of them. Military casualties, in addition to hundreds of thousands of civilians lost their lives in the war.

The blood of millions of Italian people was only exchanged for South Tyrol. This naturally made the Italians very dissatisfied. After all, they were on the side of the Allies. As a result, the Allies took various To seduce them with benefits, they rebelled and joined the Allied camp.

After joining the Allied Powers camp, they have been working hard and diligently. They thought that if they were so dedicated, the benefits promised to them by the Allied Powers would be fulfilled, right?

The results of it?

The Allied Powers completely looked down on Italy and Italy, thinking that Italy was nothing more than a second-rate country.

This is true. According to Italy's strength, they can only be regarded as a second-rate country in Europe. Countries stronger than them include the Sun Never Sets, Gaul, Hans, Mao Xiong and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If it weren't for Ban Ya didn't participate in the war, otherwise it's really hard to tell who would be ranked sixth between Yi Daili and Ban Ya!

From the perspective of the Allied Powers, the victory of the war was mainly due to the efforts of the four countries, the United States, Britain, France and Tsarist Russia. However, Tsarist Russia has been destroyed, so when dividing the spoils, they only need to take care of the United States, Britain and France. As for other second-rate and For a third-rate country, just send them some random rewards and it's enough!

In the eyes of Britain, France and other countries, Italy is a second-rate country that rewards them with random rewards. Giving them South Tyrol is already a good deal. Is it possible that the entire Balkan Peninsula can be given to them?

Don't be ridiculous, that's impossible!

It cannot be said that the judgment of the Allied Powers is unreasonable, but in the eyes of the Italians who think highly of themselves, such a treatment is a humiliation to them. Therefore, the entire Italians feel like they have been deceived!

They felt that if the Allied Powers had not deceived them with their sweet words, they would certainly not have rebelled and joined the Allied Powers. Judging from the situation of World War I, the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers were actually about equal strength. If there was one missing person among the Allied Powers, If there was another Italian on the Allied side, the outcome of the war might be completely different.

In that case, perhaps the Allies will be the ones to win in the end.

Although the things the Allies promised them before were not as generous as those of the Entente, the leader of the Allies was Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the whole of Europe knew that this emperor was a middle-aged man.

The patient will definitely not break his promise, so although the Allied Powers promise less than the Allied Powers, the Allied Powers will strictly fulfill their promises and will not do one thing to their face and another behind their back like the Allied Powers!

Therefore, after the Treaty of Versailles came out, the whole of Italy was extremely dissatisfied. Not only did they hate the Allies, but they were also very dissatisfied with the incompetence of their own government. At this time, the government actually raised a butcher's knife against the people and started killing people. This makes the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people even more serious!

In this case, in Milan City, an important town in the north with the fashion capital, a guy named Mussolini formed the world's first French-Spanish political party, and began to unite with the Italian army in the north, preparing to attack March on the capital city of Rome!
