Italy's fragile defeat caught the British and French Allied Forces command off guard, and even caused extreme panic on the entire Western Front. Their reaction was quite rapid. They quickly dispatched 15 divisions to follow the French-Italy border to reinforce the Lombardy area, stabilizing the battle situation in the direction of Milan. However, on the southern front, the Italian army was defeated thousands of miles away, and the situation was no longer controlled.

According to Skina and Xiafei's estimates, if we want to stabilize the situation in Italy and avoid its fall, the Allies will send at least 1.2 million people to the Apennine Peninsula, but they are now unable to piece together so many troops.

The intention of Britain and France to win over the Italians was to let the Italian army restrain the Austro-Hungarian Army and create conditions for Russia to counterattack on the Eastern Front. But now it is almost winter, and due to the rapid collapse of the Russian army on the Eastern Front, no winter will definitely not be able to slow down. Now let alone attack, even self-protection has become a problem.

Contrary to the British's wishful thinking, the British and French now have to withdraw troops to defend Italy.

Skina and Kaffie made the decision to give up on the Italians.

Now the German and Austrian army is running a running competition on the front line of the Apennine Peninsula. The Austro-Hungarian 3rd and 7th Army and the German 12th Army crossed the Apennines Mountains and quickly advanced towards Rome.

Victor Emanuel III sent a telegram to Lee Haydn, asking him to protect Italy for his relatives. Lee Haydn called back and said that he had no intention of Italian territory and demanded that Italy withdraw from the war.

So, on October 22, less than two months after the Italian battle began, the king ordered the Italian army to surrender.

The entire Italian battle lasted less than two months, and the rapid collapse of the Italian army shocked the whole world. The reasons for this result were many aspects: the Italians, who had been independent for only fifty years, did not have enough cohesion and were originally unstable in the war, and the Italians were not interested in the war.

The entire Italy was in disaster just because of the promises of the British, and of course it was lucky enough to be preserved in the end. The Italian army, which was mobilized in a hurry, had no combat power and lacked equipment. Before May, the Italians saw the sweetness of the Russians' smooth advance in Galicia, but after it declared war on Austria and Hungary, the rapid collapse of the Russian army and the powerful side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in fighting the Russians made the whole of Italy panic.

Before General Cardona barely launched an attack in August, the Italians were shouting to withdraw from the war, which made the morale of the army shake. The entire Italian army lacked the desire to fight, and the dissolution of the existing political F. The political division was also another important reason for the collapse of the Italian army.

Of course, fear of war is also one of the reasons for the collapse.

But no matter what, the Italian war was over.

Although the British and French coalition forces in Lombardy were still resisting, it was no longer helpful.

According to the armistice agreement reached between Germany and Austria and Italy, the territory of the Lombardy and Veneto regions, including Milan, will be occupied by Germany and Austria. The Italian army will disarm under the supervision of Germany and Austria, and only 100,000 people are allowed to be retained for maintaining domestic security.

According to the armistice agreement, the main force of the Italian naval fleet and submarines will be seized as part of the war compensation. The Austro-Hungarian fleet led by Admiral Negovan and the German Mediterranean fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Mauf blocked the port of Taranto. Under their supervision, the Italian fleet was temporarily disarmed and sealed in the port, waiting for the acceptance of Germany and Austria.

Italy's rapid collapse caught Britain and France off guard and hurriedly ended the doomed Battle of Gallipoli, but their landing forces were unable to withdraw from the country. The main fleet of Austro-Hungarian Navy entered the port of Taranto, cutting off the ties between the East and West Mediterranean.

Because the British Royal Navy had to deal with the increasingly frequent harassment of its maritime transportation lines by the German naval battle patrol, all the new warships were transferred back to the country. The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and the French Fleet, which had only 8 old battleships, were not currently the opponents of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

The French had made it clear that its fleet needed to stay at home to defend the coast and would not enter the Eastern Mediterranean again, and the British had to withdraw their troops to Egypt.

After the Italian Battle, the 3rd and 6th Austro-Hungarian Army were quickly transferred back to the Balkans. Under the instigation of the British, the Arabs under the Ottoman Empire rose up one after another, and the British army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack in Mesopotamia and occupied Baghdad at the end of August. The Ottoman Empire was in danger.

The highest military adviser of the Ottoman Empire, the actual military commander General Sandra, called on the Ottoman Empire to have almost consumed all weapons and ammunition. If the Allies do not open up the supply line on the Balkans for blood transfusions, the Turks will not be able to hold on.

Falkenhein was busy with the war on the Western Front, and the French launched another large-scale suicide attack in Ischer, so the Germans sent General Markensen to the Balkans, and this time he only brought the 11th German Army.

In addition to the 5th Army, General Kovis led the Austro-Hungarian Army on the front line of Serbia, and formed the 15th Army by local troops. A total of 400,000 troops and 450,000 Serbia and Black coalition forces fought for more than a year across the Danube River. Serbia on the other side of the Danube River has become scorched earth, and Belgrade has become a piece of rubble, with almost no intact building.

Due to the huge losses in the Battle of Sermia, Serbian Prime Minister Basic passed crazy recruitment and a large number of mergers and abolished and upgraded local troops, which maintained the field troops at the level of 350,000. However, in Serbia's rural and urban areas, healthy men from the age of 16 to 60 were basically extinct.

Basic was able to maintain the national economy in this situation and ensure supply ahead in order to imagine the pain. While he was struggling to survive, he also hated the "Black Shadow" organization that caused trouble in his heart.

By September 1915, although the southwestern front maintained a confrontation, the Black side was like "a dry bone wrapped in armor", and it seemed that it would collapse at any time with a slight push. However, Li Haidn still hoped that the Germans would take the lead, so he did not issue an order to launch a full-scale attack on Serbia.

On July 16, 1915, seeing that the battle situation on the Eastern Front was settled, Bulgaria officially joined the Allies and entered the war with revenge and taking the opportunity to make a fortune. The reason why this traditional pro-Russian Slavic country participated in the Allies' war against the Allies without hesitation was just to avenge the huge hatred that was caused by the joint defeat of Serbia and Greece in the Second Balkan War.
