Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 107: , Cultural store

This is an era of mere profiteering. The sudden explosion of the farce of the Allied Powers quickly disappeared with the changes in the British foreign policy. &1t;/p>

But the impact was far-reaching. The Italians were the first to be unlucky. Now they don't know what to do. &1t;/p>

Jump back to the Entente, right? People's attitude is obvious, it's not welcome! The French coalition forces have occupied Rome. Who can believe that the benefits promised by John Bull can still be fulfilled? &1t;/p>

No, there is no chance to join the Allied Powers. The Bulgarians and French have a tough attitude, either unconditionally surrender or continue to fight! &1t;/p>

Well, the enemy has seen the reality of Italy. There is no need to attack at all, the food crisis has already come, and Italy will collapse on its own in a few months. &1t;/p>

Stay in the Allies? Sorry, it’s not so easy to be a traitor once, and it’s not so easy to turn around. At least when I asked the Germans for assistance, I was already lacking confidence! &1t;/p>

For the Italian government, it doesn't matter which side to join now, tragedy is doomed anyway! &1t;/p>

If the Allies win, they are defeated. If the Allies win, they will also liquidate the traitors. They are no longer humans inside and out! &1t;/p>

Vittorio Emanuele III is now truly unbroken, and the Italian government is also divided. &1t;/p>

The main battle faction advocates fighting to the end with the Allied powers. They have received the support of most of the Italians. They have just been put together by the British. How can they not retaliate? &1t;/p>

The main party advocates ending the war. This is the case anyway. No matter who loses or wins, Italy can't have good fruits. Just admit it! &1t;/p>

Well, the main and peaceful factions are now the surrender faction. They are pessimistic about this war, believing that if Italy continues the war, there will be no gains other than increased casualties! &1t;/p>

After participating in the war for more than a year, in addition to the millions of casualties, Italy's domestic economy was also greatly damaged. Without overseas trade, it would be difficult for them to fill their stomachs. &1t;/p>

In terms of personal feelings, Vittorio Emanuele III is the main battle. The Allies have not been defeated yet, so Italy is bullied by the Allies; if the Allies are finished, should Italy not be divided? &1t;/p>

But intellectually, Italy can no longer continue this war. The reason why he agreed to the British terms was not because Italy was short of food and could not pass this winter. &1t;/p>

Moreover, the entire Confederate nation is currently short of food. Otherwise, why do Germany and Austria-Hungary leave Bulgaria not to fight and run to grab food? &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

The Minister of the Sixth Army said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the actions of the Allied Powers have aroused the hatred of the Italian people. Now the morale of our army is very strong. As long as you give us an order, we can take back Rome and drive the enemy out of the sea!"& 1t;/p>

Vittorio Emanuele III nodded with a wry smile. There is no way he wants to stop the war now, and he has to take back Rome before he can negotiate with the Allies. &1t;/p>

At the same time, he was also desperate for the Italian Sixth Army. Nima is now morale high, why did he go early? As long as they worked a little bit before, they wouldn't let Rome fall in one day! &1t;/p>

Little did he know that the escape of him and the Italian government was the culprit responsible for the loss of Rome. If they organized an army to resist in time, it would be impossible for more than 200,000 Italian troops to stop the enemy for a day! &1t;/p>

Vittorio Emmanuele III asked helplessly: "What did the British representative Gilmour say?"&1t;/p>

The Foreign Secretary replied embarrassingly: "Gilmore apologized to us. He has already contacted the country, and they can't do anything about what is happening now.&1t;/p>

He suggested that we surrender directly to the Allied Powers, and the British government will try its best to protect the interests of the Kingdom of Italy [31 novel network] benefits! ”&Amp;1t;/p>

Vittorio Emanuele III sneered and said: "An apology is over? Don't they even give a reasonable explanation?&1t;/p>

Let us surrender? Does he think we are all idiots? Dare to believe them anymore? ”&Amp;1t;/p>

The final disillusionment was disillusioned, even if the Allied Powers told him that it was just a misunderstanding, and then surrendered Rome, he would treat him like nothing. &1t;/p>

Unfortunately, John Bull didn't even bother to do the perfunctory work, and directly handed over Italy's dominance to France and Bulgaria. &1t;/p>

The Xiang said angrily: "Your Majesty, order an attack! There are less than 200,000 enemies in the city of Rome. We have gathered 800,000 troops and will soon be able to drive the enemy to the sea!" &1t ;/p>

Vittorio Emanuele III knew that the Italian government was now dominated by the main combatants, and even if someone wanted a truce, he did not dare to say it directly. &1t;/p>

"Okay, then attack, and at all costs, we must regain Rome as soon as possible!"&1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

And now in Rome, Valicotte is busy sharing the spoils with the French. The British didn't want to attack Rome, so he was beaten to the railroad. Naturally, the spoils won't have their share. &1t;/p>

After conquering Rome, besides arranging defenses, the most important thing was robbery. Banks and gold shops were horrified for the first time, then machine factories and shops, and finally the nobles and capitalists' luxury houses. &1t;/p>

Even the palace of Vittorio Emanuele III has not been let go, and now the trophies gathered from it are piled up into hills. &1t;/p>

The only fly in the ointment is that letting go of the church, here is the stronghold of the Catholic Church, Ferdinand is still a "pious Catholic", and Walikot is naturally unable to make a mistake. &1t;/p>

If conditions permit, he really doesn't mind even the Vatican being robbed. Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing. If he really does it, don't mix in Europe. &1t;/p>

Valicotte said enthusiastically: "Mr. James, I think this distribution is very reasonable. This is already taking care of you!"&1t;/p>

Major General James retorted: "No, everyone is allies. I represent the French Republic. We should distribute the spoils equally!"&1t;/p>

Valicotte just stared at him and smiled without answering. &1t;/p>

After a moment of silence, James shrugged and said: "At least it is also four or six. We have already made concessions!"&1t;/p>

Valikot said calmly: "No, or we just don’t divide, whoever we grabbed! You see so many soldiers now, if someone hides privates, we don’t know, even if the distribution ratio is determined, If you don’t show it, no one knows!"&1t;/p>

James said angrily: "No, you have advanced to the city, and you have robbed all of the good things first, so we have some leftovers!&1t;/p>

37 points, this is our bottom line. Otherwise, let the two foreign ministries come to court! ”&Amp;1t;/p>

Valikot said calmly: "Are you sure? If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is involved, will these spoils still have your share?&1t;/p>

It doesn't matter to us, when all the spoils fall into the hands of the government, can you still get it back? ”&Amp;1t;/p>

James's face changed. The troops in his hand were all colonial cannon fodder troops. It is undoubtedly an idiot to take out these spoils from the government! &1t;/p>

After the war, the French government is still clanging poorly. Even the regular French army may not be able to take it out of the government! &1t;/p>

James reconciled and said: "Damn! At least we have to take a quarter, otherwise we won't talk about it!"&1t;/p>

Valikote smiled and said, "Okay! Then a quarter, happy cooperation!"&1t;/p>

The two men looked at each other with ghosts and smiled. As the commander of the coalition army, Walikot naturally leaned towards the Bulgarian army when setting up combat missions. &1t;/p>

This is already a practice. Anyway, the French are now holding colonial troops. Except for more than a thousand French officers, the remaining black uncles are worthless, and Major General James naturally doesn't bother to care about their lives. &1t;/p>

This time is no exception, but James is too lazy to care, if they really let them take charge of the main attack, it is estimated that Rome is still in the hands of the Italians? &1t;/p>

If the strength is insufficient, the distribution of the spoils will naturally suffer. But it doesn't matter. At least he personally made a lot of money. The French officers who came with him made all the money. As for Uncle Black, they still want to divide the money? &1t;/p>

Except for some of them to be turned over to the military, the rest is divided into more than 1,000 people. The total amount is not as big as Bulgaria's, but their per capita gain is big! &1t;/p>

Valikot is even more indifferent. Bulgaria's military laws are strict, and the possession of spoils is to be lost. Anyway, they must be turned in uniformly before they can be distributed. &1t;/p>

For most soldiers, they still don't want to divide the money directly, and it would be more cost-effective to convert them into land after the war. &1t;/p>

Of course, the most important thing is that what everyone distributes is big goods that cannot be hidden, such as small gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and the like. Of course, it is in whose hands it is, and most of them will not admit it anyway. , Can't search the other side's barracks! &1t;/p>

For example, if the Bulgarian army ransacked the bank vault, the gold in it disappeared, leaving only a pile of Italian currency, and some krona and mark disappeared. &1t;/p>

Valikote smiled and asked, "Is our harvest statistics available?"&1t;/p>

The Director of Logistics replied: "We have roughly counted them, but the specific value is still difficult to estimate. Even if the piles of calligraphy, paintings and pots are cultural relics, we can't count them!"&1t;/p>

Valikote nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Don't worry about so many, keep them as cultural relics for me, and transport them back to the country for the government to deal with them!"&1t;/p>

It has to be said that the Italians still have a family background. After looting a Rome, all the wealth obtained can build a British Royal Fleet. &1t;/p>

Of course, this refers to the value before the war broke out. After the war broke out, the value was greatly depreciated. As a historical capital, the most valuable thing in Rome is not gold, nor machinery, but works of art and antiques! &1t;/p>

But now these are worthless. Ferdinand is just a bargain. Before he attacked Rome, his cultural company followed the logistics department to the front. &1t;/p>

Now it is naturally open for business, specializing in the acquisition of trophies in the hands of the French army, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and waiting for the Italians to sell them themselves. &1t;/p>

Anyway, the spoils that the French officers have embezzled can not be seen, of course, it must be realized as soon as possible. In line with the fact that one can be counted as one, it doesn't matter if you can't. Now the antique cultural relics are all cabbage prices. &1t;/p>

As for the Italians, the food in the city is now under control. Every person has 300 grams of rye every day. This is all their rations. &1t;/p>

Of course, for the poor, this can still be persisted. Three hundred grams of rye can still make six to seven hundred grams of brown bread. &1t;/p>

For the rich, these days are nowhere to go. Who can stand to eat brown bread every day? &1t;/p>

Naturally, other foods can only be bought. Anyway, as long as they have money, basically any food can be bought from the state-run stores opened in Bulgaria. They can still live the same luxury life as before the war. &1t;/p>

If you are hungry, the rich can only buy it obediently. After all, the stomach can't deceive people. The Italian lira cannot be spent anymore. Pounds, francs, and leves are the currencies in normal circulation. Of course, gold is better. &1t;/p>

Then Ferdinand’s cultural company started to become a hot business, buying a large number of antique cultural relics at the price of cabbage. &1t;/p>

In the end, I didn’t even bother to distinguish the true from the false. Anyway, there was no way to distinguish the true from the false. Ferdinand couldn’t find so many experts on antiques and cultural relics. &1t;/p>
