Giovanni's Ideas

"The fate of the Empire rests on the outcome of this battle. Let each man do his utmost."

-        Tōgō Heihachirō, Battle of Tsushima, before engaging the Russian Baltic Fleet

All of these factors pushed the skeptical thoughts questioning Giovanni's loyalty leaving him an entire army to command, but still he joined the army too as their marshal making strategic decisions, a tradition left to him by the past Roman emperors, for the countless amount of rebellions and coups when the general's prestige is higher than the autocrat in that army, and of course, together with him came another person with a special kind of occupation that mainly  exists in the Imperium Romanus and the Ottoman Sultanate in Europa – the Eunuchs.
