Although the Chinese Navy has been in the army for a short time, it has experienced no fewer major wars than any other country.

From the beginning to the end of defeating the Japanese Navy to the US Navy several times, even the world's maritime overlord British Navy suffered many times under the Chinese Navy. Although the Italian navy is not weak, it is very difficult for them to win in the face of the Chinese Navy.

"His Majesty the King, should we consider it again? The navy is now confronting the navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Adriatic Sea. If we provoke the Chinese again, our navy will probably be difficult to resist!" Giovanni, Prime Minister of the Italian Kingdom Government.

Jolliti said with some concern.

"His Excellency Gioliti, you have to figure out that it is not us who are provoking the Chinese now, but they are provoking us! The Chinese sent large troops to land on Sicily. If we do not fight back in time, the entire Sicily will be occupied by them! The Chinese are all insatiable. After they occupy Sicily, they will definitely continue to eat up other parts of the kingdom, perhaps Sardinia, or perhaps Italy's native place! These are definitely not acceptable to the descendants of Caesar. We must use our powerful force to let those despicable yellow-skinned monkeys know that it is simply delusion to find a bargain in Italy!" Vittorio.

Emmanuele III said firmly, as if the Chinese navy was completely vulnerable.

"His Majesty the King, according to the information we have obtained, the main forces of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet have all gathered in the waters of Sicily. The Chinese have eight battleships and one battlecruiser, while our navy has only six battleships. The number is three fewer than them, and the Austro-Hungarian Navy is eyeing it. If you don't pay attention, the kingdom's navy will suffer a catastrophe!" Giovanni.

Jolliti persuaded.

"Our main ships have fewer than theirs, but our main ships have more main guns. Our six main ships have a total of 77 main guns, while the eight Chinese Navy battleships only have only 71 main guns. Moreover, our main ships are all new battleships that are new and new. More than half of the Chinese main ships are old battleships. After serving for twenty years, those old battleships are not our new battleships at all.

Opponent. Besides, they have three battleships that are captured British and French battleships. The initial type of battleship cannot be compared with our battleships. As for another battleship, it has been proved in the decisive battle between Britain and Germany that the battleships have no ability to fight back in front of the battleships. Therefore, I firmly believe that the Italian Navy has an overwhelming advantage against the Chinese Navy!” Vittorio.

Emmanuele III insisted on the way. Although the king's power was greatly restricted by the government, as an ambitious monarch, he did not know nothing. Especially after the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet occupied the Suez Canal, he also had a deep understanding of the Chinese Navy. At least, according to his analysis, although the Italian Navy's main battleship was smaller, its combat power was definitely above the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.

"As for those Austro-Hungarian warships, they were already scared. Now they can only stay in the military port of Asia. After we defeat the Chinese, we will kill them!" Vittorio.

Emmanuele III said with great enthusiasm.

Giovanni.

Prime Minister Gioliti looks at Vittorio.

Emmanuele III was so persistent that he knew that his persuasion was useless. This king, who was very ambitious and talented, was already angry because the army invaded the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, a powerful country like China was not something Italy could resist. This was very likely to bring disaster to Italy.

Army Secretary Geronimo saw Giovanni.

Prime Minister Gioliti was worried, so he said, "His Majesty the King, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Now our Kingdom of Italy is a member of the Allies. We have been attacked by the Chinese, and Britain and France cannot ignore it! In the Port of Toulon, there are three new French navy battleships, and they should be here to assist us in the battle. In addition, the British navy has defeated the German navy and there are so many battleships left. They should also be sent to the Mediterranean to deal with the Chinese. Otherwise, once the Chinese occupy Sicily, it will also be a huge threat to both of them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, we can ask Britain and France to send navies to assist us. When their fleet arrives, we will launch an attack on the Chinese. Then it will be foolproof!" Giovanni.

Prime Minister Joliti said quickly.

"The government can give a note to Britain and France, but I insist that this battle should be completed by the Italian Navy alone. The Italian Kingdom joined the war when the situation was clear. If Italy cannot show enough strength in this battle, then we must not get more war dividends after the war. Therefore, we need to use this battle to improve Italy's international status. The navy must win!" Vittorio.

Emmanuele III looked at Giovanni.

Jolitti and Geronimo said.

Giovanni.

Jolitti opened her mouth, but in the end he did not refute. He also agreed with Vittorio.

In Emmanuele III, Italy, as one of the world's major powers, is not a major member of the Allies. Once the Allies defeat the Allies and China and divide the world again, it will be very difficult for Italy to gain more benefits. The only way is to prove Italy's strength in the war, so that Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries dare not offend Italy easily. Only in this way can Italy get the benefits it deserves after the war.

"Okay, Your Majesty the King, I also hope to receive good news from the Navy!" Giovanni.

Prime Minister Jolitti compromised.

"Haha! I believe General Boshini will not let us down, he will definitely defeat those Chinese!" Vittorio.

Emmanuele III said with a laugh, as if he was sure to win.

After the king and the government reached an agreement, they immediately referred to King Vittorio.

Emmanuele III and Prime Minister Giovanni.

In the name of Gioliti, General Bosini, the commander of the Italian Navy, asked him to lead the Italian Navy south immediately, defeat the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean fleet, and create conditions for the army to board Sicily and completely eliminate the Chinese army.

After receiving the order, Admiral Boshini, who was in Venice, did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the fleet to set sail, sail south along the Italian coastline, preparing to leave the Adriatic Sea, enter the Ionian Sea, and attack the Chinese Navy Indian Ocean Fleet.

The Italian Navy's flagship is the latest in service, Andrea.

Doria-class, the first ship among the battleships, "Andrea".

Doria, the battleship, the other one of this class is

‘Kayo.

Duillio, the battleship. Both battleships were new battleships that were only in service last year. They are the most powerful battleships equipped by the Italian Navy. This battleship has a displacement of 26,000 tons, equipped with three triple 5mm main guns and two double 305mm main guns, with a total number of main guns reaching 13. Except for the multi-turret monsters built by the Chinese Navy for the Chilean Navy, no battleship has a number of main guns that can exceed this battleship.

At 11 a.m. on July 10, the main fleet of the Italian Navy set off from Venice. In addition to six battleships, it also included 8 armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers in total. This has gathered 90% of the Italian Navy's combat power.

The Italian Navy was dispatched in full swing, which immediately attracted the attention of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Ferdinand, immediately ordered the intelligence personnel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to figure out the trends of the Italian navy. At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Navy was ordered to prepare for battle. Compared with the Italian Navy, the Austro-Hungarian Navy had only four "joint force-class and battleships, which were much less than the Italian Navy in number. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, after the Italian Navy entered the Adriatic Sea, the Austro-Hungarian Navy entered the Yast military port to avoid war.

In less than two hours, the Austro-Hungarian Navy learned about the movements of the Italian Navy. The Italian Navy did not come to the Austro-Hungarian Navy, but went south and took the initiative to find trouble for the Chinese Navy.

"Haha! I didn't expect that our Chinese allies had already taken action. At this moment, all the Italians' main forces have gone south. I really don't know who will win this naval battle! Send telegrams to our allies and let them be careful of the Italians!" Grand Duke Ferdinand said excitedly.

"His Excellency Da Gong, should we set sail and cooperate with the Chinese navy to attack the Italians?" a naval officer from the Austro-Hungarian Empire suggested.

"No need, I think our allies have enough ability to deal with the Italians, so we should not join in the fun. Order the fleet to set sail, and we will attack the Italians' coastal cities and give the Italians a little more powerful look!" Grand Duke Ferdinand ordered.

"Yes, Lord Grand Duke!"

The Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet only received information that the Italian Navy had already moved south at 2 pm. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's warning was passed to the Chinese government through the embassy and then sent to the Indian Ocean Fleet from the country, which was a waste of time. At this time, the Indian Ocean Fleet was already on the Ionian Sea.
Chapter completed!
