The report that the coalition forces used force to flatten Venice was shocked, and the international community condemned the coalition forces' barbaric actions of destroying historical monuments and ignoring the treasures of civilization. The Council of the League of Nations also held an emergency meeting on this and entrusted the German government to mediate and mediate the war.

The Germans mediated, and representatives of both sides of the war quickly sat at the negotiating table. According to convention, the troops of both sides should suspend military operations during the negotiations. When the two sides were negotiating on the mode and deadline of a temporary ceasefire, 600,000 Italian troops were surrounded by the coalition forces between the border between the Italian-Austrian border and the Piave River to step up the resistance of the trapped Italian troops, launching fierce attacks on the Italian positions day and night. In just 24 hours, dozens of towns and villages guarded by the Italian troops were captured, and the remaining Italian troops were divided into multiple areas. As long as the troops were concentrated, the Italian troops could be defeated one by one and won a complete victory in a large-scale annihilation battle.

At this moment, the Italian government was frustrated and the Italian negotiators were frustrated. In order to prevent the main force of its side, which was besieged by the coalition forces, they accepted the harsh demands of the New Austrian government to unconditionally release captured coalition pilots and naval officers and soldiers, unconditionally repatriate special personnel in custody (that is, captured spies), and unconditionally stop all destructive operations against the New United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in exchange for a short truce of 4 o'clock.

On the one hand, it was the public mediation of the German government, and on the other hand, it was the high attention of the international community. When the armistice requirements were met, the New Austrian government had to announce that its troops would maintain the current situation and make a truce on the whole line for 4 o'clock.

The Italian government fought for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north with a very humiliating attitude and a glimmer of hope. However, the Italian people did not buy it. They were already very resentful and resentful about the Italian army's weapons, bloated personnel, and lax preparations. Now seeing our team exposing their tactical and unhindered tactics on the battlefield, their equipment was outdated, and their bear soldiers were weak. The indignation broke out irresistibly. The **** in the north took the lead in protest marching. People in Turin, Florence, Ancona and other places immediately responded. On that night, tens of thousands of people held a bonfire rally in the largest St. Peters Square in the capital Rome, despite the obstruction of the police and the military, demanding the reorganization of the government's cabinet, reforming the military system, and reorganizing the national defense system.

Seeing that the government had completely lost the people's hearts, the army's performance on the battlefield was completely defeated. Even if we mobilized new recruits and reorganized troops, we could not stop the coalition's tiger and wolf army division. After all night of consultation, King Emanuele III announced early the next morning that the cabinet would be dissolved, the positions of senior generals such as the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the Italian General Staff, and he himself served as the Supreme Commander of the Italian Army. **** Umberto served as acting chief of staff, and appointed the pro-German Earl Cabrey as prime minister to implement reforms to the government and the army.

While removing the former Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Chief of General Staff and other scapegoat positions, the elderly Emmanuele III also instructed the armistice negotiator to strive to reach a formal armistice agreement within the scope that Italy could accept. Therefore, regarding the ceded territory proposed by the new United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian government, providing war compensation, no longer intervening in the war in the Middle East, and stopping the transfer of military technology to non-European countries, the Italian representatives expressed principled agreement, and only bargaining on the ceded territory and the amount of war reparations.

The two-day armistice deadline is approaching, and the Italians who are worried about internal and external troubles are worried. The situation is so clear that no matter how skilled diplomats come, they cannot turn the situation around. With 30 minutes left before the armistice deadline, the Italian representative finally expressed his acceptance of the existing armistice conditions. On the basis of the German government's guarantee and the promise of New and Austrians not to interfere with the Italian monarchy system, they agreed to sign this "more robbers than robbers" armistice agreement.

According to this agreement, the Italians not only handed over the territory they acquired during the Pakatan-Austria War to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also gave away most of the colonies they plundered through the Italian-Turkish war to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and promised not to support the Italian residents in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in any way to cause trouble. In addition, the Italian government would also pay huge war compensation of 24 billion and 26 billion marks to the new United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire respectively, and allow the Italian government to compensate part of the compensation with industrial equipment designated by the two countries and specific valuable items

The war came to an end, and it was obvious that Italy became the biggest loser. The new United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire not only made a fortune at a small price, but also gained a once-in-a-lifetime training opportunity. The Germans won the reputation of the peace envoy, and beat up one of the "rebels" in the camp of the Western Allies, and re-established the absolute authority of the camp leader.

Once the armistice agreement came into effect, officials from both countries quickly formed a team to Italy to strictly prevent the transfer of Italians and hide advanced equipment in various industrial fields. In fact, the new Italian cabinet had no intention of obstructing the coalition's "grabbing" from the coalition forces. They agreed with the king and ****. As long as they could try their best to protect their fleet, keep the military posts, and let Italy continue to stay on the list of European powers, the remaining losses would be acceptable.

When learning that the armistice agreement caused Italy to lose the Venetian province in the north, the Dodecanese archipelago in the east and the prosperous Benghazi area, public protests that had stopped for less than two days swept across Italy again. The Italians who were extremely desperate at the top could not bear to launch a marche of magistrates and put forward the slogan of overthrowing the royal power and establishing a republic. Emmanuele III tried to resolve the public outrage crisis in a gentle way, but Umberto and his followers believed that this demonstration was exploited by those with ulterior motives. Only by shocking the people with tough and resolute means could the outbreak of the revolution be stopped.

Emmanuele III was in power for nearly half a century, witnessing the demise of the Tsarist Russian Manov dynasty and the distant Windsor dynasty in Britain. He knew that the defeat of the war was enough to overturn a long-standing and deeply rooted dynasty. He had always felt that Russian-style dangerous ideas had already penetrated, so he was very worried that Italy would break out in a deadly revolution like Tsarist Russia. Under the persuasion of **** Umberto, he agreed to transfer the army back from the front line to quell the storm as soon as possible.

The armistice agreement has just come into effect, and the troops of both sides are breaking off contact in an orderly manner. In order not to allow the large-scale mobilization of front-line troops of the Italian army to cause misunderstandings, and also to seek understanding and support from various monarchs, Umberto not only informed the armistice supervision team formed by representatives from the four countries, but also assigned diplomats to communicate the matter separately to the heads of government of Germany, the new United Kingdom, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the royal family. Unexpectedly, the news leaked, which caused an uproar among the Italian people and the army.

Bo. The Italian soldiers who encountered setbacks on the front line and were dissatisfied with the superior staff command organization refused to set off to the rear. Not only did they not come forward to appease the soldiers, but they used military laws to punish the disobedients, resulting in mutiny in multiple troops. In order to control the army, Umberto hurried to the north. Although the situation of the army did not continue to deteriorate, the mutiny seriously affected the traffic between the front line and the rear, and congestion occurred in multiple ports for evacuating troops and transferring materials.

****Umberto was overwhelmed by the problems of the front-line army. In the capital Rome, under the persuasion of military and political officials such as the Earl of Cabri, King Emanuele III decided to stabilize the domestic situation by delaying the army, that is, to determine the future of Italy through a referendum. The Italian people who were determined to make trouble did not buy it, and more and more people joined the rallies, especially those radicals who had long advocated the republican system. They judged the situation and proposed political views that made the Italian people excited, so that many police officers who maintained order also joined the marches.

If the hardliners represented by Umberto were transferred from the front line in time, this dramatic scene might not happen next: because the scale of the rallying and marches in the capital Rome has been higher and higher, the police and garrison troops are no longer enough to cope with the situation. Earl Cabri and military officials are worried that hundreds of thousands of people may attack the palace and threaten the safety of the king and royal family, so they suggested that Emanuele III temporarily go to the northern region under the control of the army to avoid the limelight.

Emmanuele III was old and had neither the courage and courage of his youth nor the flexible mind to analyze the situation and weigh the pros and cons. He quickly accepted the suggestions of his subordinates and took the royal family members and important military and political officials to Milan on a special plane. As a result, as soon as the king left, the **ists who learned the news waved their flags and swaggered into the palace, and announced to Italy that the provisional government that exercised state power on behalf of the will of the people had been established!

Although this power-up, which does not have any legal effect, is more like a farce of an angry young man rather than a coup announcement, the Italian powerful people who fled the north were panicked, especially the **** Umberto, who had been in power for many years but had not worn a crown for one day and had been on the throne for one day. After hearing the news, he wanted to take his personal guards back to Rome immediately.

Under the comfort of his subordinates, the older **** calmed down a little. Given that the current situation in Rome is unclear and the railway road to Rome is not smooth, he and the officers discussed a good way to quickly fight and decide quickly, which is to first dispatch elite paratroopers assault troops to airplane the Roman airport, use this as a pedal to advance, and use transport planes to generals to be more stable in their morale. Several infantry regiments trusted by the officers were transported over urgently, and use this force to regain the palace, control the traffic routes and tactical strongholds in the central city, and then he himself took action to suppress this despicable and shameful coup in the palace, and declare the arrival of a new iron-fisted era!
