My Italian: Chapter 553 covert mobilization
The much-anticipated mediation trip of King Carlo came to an end soon. After ten days, the Italian delegation left on the grounds that the mediation failed.
After the departure of the Italian delegation, Germany's attitude was also further toughened. The military mobilization order issued by the German War Ministry began to recruit reserve forces.
In the face of Germany's tough attitude, Britain and France are not afraid. France also expanded the scope of mobilization from local to comprehensive. Under the general mobilization order, a large number of young French laborers were recruited by the army.
As for the United Kingdom, the battle plan has been issued to the fleet, and the British Army has also begun to mobilize.
Seeing that the situation is getting more and more dangerous, the neutral countries are crying out for peace, and many people are running for it.
However, the attitudes and remarks of these people cannot affect the current situation, especially Carlo who returned to Rome after his visit.
In his office, after Carlo signed his name on a mobilization decree, he spoke to Admiral Simeone in front of him. "I have seen the Army's mobilization plan and can start implementing it."
Seeing the decree signed by the king, Simeone said immediately. "Your Majesty, the army is ready to mobilize, and it will start mobilizing immediately."
The mobilization in Simeone's mouth is secret mobilization, and some reserve and retired officers and soldiers are recruited into the barracks for various reasons. These secretly mobilized reserve officers and soldiers are a relatively outstanding group in the mobilization system, and most of them will be recruited from various departments. Force together to form new troops.
As for the replenishment of troops, it can be carried out after the official mobilization order is issued. At that time, Italy can complete the mobilization in the shortest time, or the mobilization in the same time exceeds the estimated military scale of the enemy.
If covert mobilization is so useful, why aren't many countries using it. Because secrecy work is not easy to do, the number of secret mobilization is too small to achieve the effect of mobilization, and the number of secret mobilization is very easy to leak.
The Army also came up with a very feasible plan under Simone's countless simulations and practices. The Army had actually operated it before, but the result was not found. Now, this secret mobilization can be used.
The army is secretly mobilizing, and the navy, as an important combat force, will certainly not fall behind. At present, all the naval fleets have received orders to stop vacations, recall furloughed personnel, wait for all staff, inspect and maintain warships and ammunition.
In addition, major shipyards have also received orders to increase the speed and work overtime for the large and small warships under construction.
Of course, these orders are carried out secretly, but although they are carried out secretly, they will always leave clues. However, the military also knows that this kind of secret mobilization does not mean that it should be kept secret until the end of the world, as long as the time for the other party to know is delayed. It's good to delay until the time you want.
In addition, Italy has some moves.
In the East African Governor's Palace, Cabrera had just put a telegram he had read into the brazier. He waited until the telegram was burnt to ashes before opening the office door and speaking to the secretary. "Immediately get Lieutenant General Timothy and say I have something to look for him."
The next day, the East African colonial government sent a telegram to the Kingdom of Abyssinia, asking the other party to recruit another 30,000 people to work for the colonial government.
In response to the order of the East African colonial government, the Abyssinian Kingdom immediately issued an order to let the feudal lords come forward to deal with this year's recruitment task.
Speaking of which, the Abyssinian Kingdom has been very happy with the recruitment over the years. The reason is very simple, because the colonial government really wants to pay, and give some materials or funds every year according to the number of people recruited.
This money is actually not much. Basically, it is calculated on the basis of 600 lire per person recruited (to work for the colonial government for two years), and most of these rewards are divided up by the king and feudal lords of the Abyssinian Kingdom. The soup and water will be reserved for the family members of the conscripts.
Even so, it is also a way out for these conscripts. Some people will take over their families if they do well in two years. Of course, most of them are done in two years and then go back, and some people lost their lives during this period.
And this kind of recruitment is mainly to sell hard labor, which is some heavy work such as road building, mountain opening, digging, etc., which are hard and tiring.
The Borneo colony has always been the most economically valuable colony in Italy, and the colony pays more than 100 million lire in taxes to Rome every year (the latest statistics show that Borneo paid 212 million lire last year).
At present, Borneo's economic crop cultivation industry, not to mention, accounts for more than half of the global rubber production. Pepper and sago also occupy the first place in the world, and the output of rice and coconut is not low. In general, 80% of Borneo's economy is driven by cash crops, and the other 20% is driven by Balikpapan Oil, ship repair and berthing services.
Therefore, the colonial governor of Borneo has always been a high-ranking role, not to mention that he has also hosted the Far East diplomatic work before.
Looking at the candidates who have served as the Governor before, the first Governor Cairoli was the Prime Minister before. The second Governor Antonio also became the Prime Minister of Italy. The following four Governors were not so fierce, but they were also not low. When they returned, they were either ministers or parliamentarians. It can be seen that the colony of Borneo is in the Italian government. status. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
But now, Governor Baron lit the lighter with a snap, and carefully placed the telegram translated in front of him under the flames. Balon watched the telegram ignite until it was burnt out in the brazier, and then he approached the local military chief, Major General Solis, to discuss it for a day.
The next day, the Governor's Palace in Pontianak issued an order announcing that 20,000 people would be drafted into the army within a month. Along with the order came a request for government officials to count all kinds of materials in Borneo, both public and private.
This is obviously an order to mobilize and count materials, and someone immediately felt that something was wrong. But no one can resist, they can only execute obediently.
It didn't take long for the 20,000 people to be recruited. Most of the recruits were local Chinese indigenous people, and only less than 1,000 people were white.
And these mobilized people will spend more than half a year in the barracks. Of course, with the rich financial resources of the colonial government of Borneo, these men would be trained to be qualified soldiers.
In addition to these obvious, in fact, His Excellency the Governor also issued a secret order. Only a few people know that the Borneo government will go all out to purchase all kinds of materials. Except for a small part, all other materials will be shipped to East Africa and the mainland.
That's right, what the Borneo colonial government is doing now is preparing for the retreat, preparing to remove all the colonial funds and materials.
Although the Borneo colony is very rich, it is too far from the mainland. The surrounding British and French forces have an absolute advantage. The combination of Italy and Germany only increases the difficulty of each other's capture, so Rome has already done a good job of giving up Borneo. Prepare,.
The telegram received by Governor Baron was the beginning of Italian preparations.
