My Italian: Chapter 553 secret mobilization

The long-awaited mediation tour of King Carlo ended quickly. After staying for ten days, the Italian delegation left on the grounds that the mediation failed.

After the Italian delegation left, Germany's attitude also became tougher. The military mobilization order issued by the German Ministry of War 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 partial to comprehensive. Under the general mobilization order, a large number of young and strong French laborers were recruited by the army.

As for the United Kingdom, the combat plan has been issued to the fleet, and the British Army has also begun mobilization.

Seeing that the situation is getting more and more dangerous, the neutral countries are clamoring 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 General Simeone in front of him. "I have read the army's mobilization plan, and it can be implemented."

Seeing the decree signed by the king, Simeone immediately spoke. "Your Majesty, the Army is ready for mobilization and will begin mobilization immediately."

The mobilization that Simeone said was a secret mobilization. Some reserve and retired officers and soldiers were recruited into the barracks for various reasons. These secretly mobilized reserve officers and soldiers are a relatively outstanding group in the mobilization system. 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 enemy's estimated military scale.

Since secret mobilization is so useful, why are there not many countries using it. Because it is not easy to keep secrets, if the number of people secretly mobilized is small, it will not be mobilized, and if the number of people is too large, it will be very easy to leak.

The army also finally came up with a very feasible plan after countless simulations and practices by Simeone. The army had actually operated it before, but it was not discovered. Now, this secret mobilization can be used.

The army is secretly mobilizing, and the navy, an important combat force, will certainly not lag behind. At present, all fleets of the navy have received orders to stop vacations, recall vacationers, wait for all staff, and inspect and repair warships and ammunition.

In addition, the major shipyards have also received orders. For the large and small warships under construction, each shipyard needs to increase the speed and work overtime.

Of course, these orders are all carried out in secret, but although they are carried out in secret, there will always be clues, but the military also knows that this kind of secret mobilization does not mean that it must be kept secret forever, as long as the time for the other party to know is delayed. It's good to delay until the time you expected.

In addition, Italy has some moves.

In the East African Governor's Palace, Cabrera had just put a read telegram into the brazier, and he waited until the telegram was burned to ashes before opening the office door and speaking to the secretary. "Immediately call Lieutenant General Timothy and tell him that 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.

Regarding the order of the East African colonial government, the Kingdom of Abyssinia immediately issued an order, asking the feudal lords to send people to deal with this year's recruitment task.

Speaking of which, the Kingdom of Abyssinia has been very happy with the recruitment over the years. The reason is very simple, because the colonial government really wants to pay, and gives some materials or funds every year according to the number of people recruited.

In fact, this money is not much, basically it is calculated based on 600 liras for each person recruited (to work for the colonial government for two years), and most of these remunerations are divided among the kings and feudal lords of the Abyssinian Kingdom, and the remaining The soup and water left behind will be left to 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 completed in two years and then go back, and some people lost their lives during this period.

And this kind of recruitment is mainly for hard work, which is heavy work such as road construction, mountain digging, and excavation, which is the kind of hard and tiring work.

The Borneo colony has always been the most economically valuable colony in Italy. Every year, the colony pays over 100 million lire in taxes to Rome (the latest statistics show that Borneo paid 212 million lire last year).

Not to mention the current economic crop planting in Borneo, which accounts for more than half of the world's 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 docking services.

Therefore, the Colonial Governor of Borneo has always been a high-ranking role, not to mention that he also managed the diplomatic work in the Far East before.

Looking at the candidates who have served as the governor before, the first governor Cairoli was the prime minister before. The next governor, Antonio, also became the prime minister of Italy. Although the subsequent four governors were not so vigorous, they were also not low. When they returned, they either served as ministers or became the president of the parliament. It can be seen from this that the Borneo colony is in the Italian government status.

But now, Governor Baron clicked on the lighter, and carefully placed the telegram he translated in front of him under the flame. Baron watched the telegram burn until it burned out in the brazier, and then he consulted with the local military chief, Major General Solis, for a day.

The next day, the Governor's Office in Pontianak issued an order announcing that 20,000 people would be recruited into the army within one month. Along with the order, government officials are required to count various materials in Borneo, both public and private.

This kind of order, which is obviously mobilization and counting supplies, immediately made some people feel that something was wrong. But no one can disobey orders, they can only execute them obediently.

It didn't take long~www.mtlnovel.com~The quota of 20,000 people was fully recruited, and most of the people who were recruited were local Chinese and aborigines, 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 Borneo colonial government, these people will be trained to be a qualified soldier.

In addition to these obvious things, 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 various materials. Except for a small part, the other materials will be shipped to East Africa and the mainland.

That's right, what the Borneo colonial government is doing now is the preparatory work before the retreat, preparing to move all the colonial funds and materials first.

Although the Borneo colony is very rich, it is too far away from the mainland. The surrounding forces of Britain and France occupy an absolute advantage. The combination of Italy and Germany will only increase the difficulty of the other party's capture, so Rome has already made plans to abandon Borneo. Prepare,.

The telegram received by Governor Baron was the beginning of Italy's preparations.
