My Italian

The Crete provisional government certainly could not accept the outbreak of armed rebellion in Hania, and then the provisional government sent more than 3,000 armed forces to counter the rebellion.

And since the banner was raised, of course Vidade Solari knew that it would lead to his suppression. In addition, in order to show its momentum, the government forces must be repulsed.

So Vedad took more than 2,000 people recruited from Hania and went out to the Rodri Mountain Pass to defend.

Although the strength of the two parties in Crete is not large, this battle has attracted the attention of all parties.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is the Rodri Pass, located in a gap in the northern part of the Sitia Mountains. Currently, more than 2,000 people are stationed under the leadership of President Candido Solari's son Vedad, while the Cretan rebels have sent More than 3,000 people attacked them, and the opponent is currently confronting them outside the mountain pass."

An army staff officer was explaining the situation in Crete to Carlo.

Beside Carlo, there are many military leaders.

After listening to the staff officer's narration, Carlo looked at the marked military map and said. "For this military conflict, what is your military's plan?"

Facing Carlo's question, Admiral Simeone, the Minister of War, glanced at Admiral Yagier, the Minister of the Navy, and replied. "Your Majesty, at present we have sent weapons and ammunition to Vedad's rebel army, and our army has also sent military advisors to help them."

In addition, according to the report of our intelligence department, the rebels after the coup d'état have been supplemented with arms from Greece, and several Greek officers have helped them. However, neither the Greek nor the British army took any other actions. Our military believes that this is because the other party is concerned about our intervention, and intends to use the Cretan rebels as the main force to eliminate the team led by the uprising Vedard. "

After listening to Simeone's narration, Carlo almost guessed the thoughts of Britain and Greece.

First of all, the Greeks definitely want to merge with Crete, but in view of Italy's huge deterrence, it must be supported by Britain.

However, because of the fear of Italy, the United Kingdom did not want to go to war for Crete, so it wanted to fight a proxy war. Let the two factions on Crete decide for themselves. Of course, sending consultants to support weapons and ammunition is also a normal operation, isn't it the same in Italy.

Of course, Italy has to do something, it still needs some action, otherwise it will think you are afraid.

"Since this is the case, then your military must pay close attention to the situation in Crete. You must ensure that the Vedad armed force cannot be eliminated. In addition, the Greeks in the generals will make statistics. If there is any bad change in the situation, then these volunteers can Help it block the attack of the Provisional Government Army of Crete. In addition, the navy needs to ensure the safety of Chania Port, and the external passage of Vedad's armed forces cannot be blocked."

The meaning of Carlo's words is already very clear, and Italy's influence cannot be driven out of Crete.

Facing Carlo's words, the military present certainly understood.

After receiving Carlo's instructions, the Italian military also took action. First of all, on the navy side, a small formation was sent to patrol the west of Crete.

Although this has attracted protests from the Greeks, will Italy listen to the opinions of the Greeks? Even if it gained a large area of ​​territory in the Balkan Wars and its national strength has been greatly improved, a small country will eventually be a small country. When it comes to the confrontation between big countries, their opinions are barking, and it doesn't matter if they don't listen.

In addition to the navy, the Italian army also began to recruit Greeks among the generals. There are very few Greeks in the Italian army, less than 2,000 after a count. Many of them were recruited from the Southern Dodecanese Islands.

To be honest, the Southern Dowel Islands have been in the hands of Italy for more than 20 years. However, due to its small size and small population (a total of more than 100,000 people), more important things have no strategic value. So Italy doesn't care too much about it. Of course, the southern twelve islands, which are not very concerned, still rely on the take-off of the Italian economy, which has brought huge benefits. The fishery and animal husbandry of the archipelago are well developed, making the residents of the island generally richer than people in other surrounding countries.

And if it weren't for the support of soldiers from the Southern Dodecanese Islands, the Italian military could gather hundreds of people at most.

And these more than a thousand people were first called together by the Italian Army, and then it will depend on the outcome of the battle between the two forces in Crete at the Rodri Pass.

It didn't take long for the battle at Rodriguez Pass, which was much-anticipated, to start.

The two sides fought fiercely at the mountain pass. On the first day, the armed forces of the two sides lost nearly a hundred people. On the second day, they lost more than 70 people. On the third day, they lost more than 60 people. After fighting for a week, the two sides lost a total of more than 400 people. A week later, the government army said that it was unable to attack and asked for reinforcements.

And according to the report of Italy's consultant in Vedard's force, the battle between the two sides was completely at the level of weapon fighting. In addition, the infantry did not cooperate. Once the artillery from the government army even blew up on one of our own people.

Thinking about it, both sides are not from military background, and have not received professional training, so it is already very good to be able to play like this. As for why there is no military training, because there was no army in the Republic of Crete before, only the police and armed police, and the training was to arrest prisoners.

However, although the government forces stopped their offensive, Vedard had other ideas. Under the advice of the military adviser, in the early morning of the third day after the fighting stopped, Vedad led a thousand people to attack the government camp at night. pot. Nearly 3,000 people fled in all directions, but only 1,000 people returned in the end. Of course, it does not mean that more than a thousand people were wiped out, and many people fled directly from the army.

According to the statistics of Italian military advisers, only more than 600 government troops were killed and captured. However, a large amount of barracks materials were seized by him, the most important of which was that 7 artillery pieces and corresponding ammunition were obtained by him.

But in any case, Vedard's first appearance was very good, defeating the attack of the government army.

The victorious Vedad did not stop. Under the advice of his military adviser, he led his own army to capture Rethymnon, the third largest town in Crete, and pushed the battle line to Hill at the foot of Mount Iji. Sodium town. As long as you turn over the Iji Mountain, you can see the capital Heraklion.

The victory of Rodri Pass ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ also had a huge impact on the rebel army. First of all, the residents of Crete have become more positive about it. Not only that, after the news of this big victory spread, towns such as Castelli, San Rumeli, and Paleohora announced the recognition of Vidade. regime.

These towns are located in the eastern part of Crete, and belong to the scope of being influenced by the affectionate faction, but they are only limited to influence. Vedard sent someone to contact them before, but they were all rejected. And now this big victory is enough to increase the influence enough for them to make a decision.

As for the government army that failed in the crusade, this defeat has sobered up its mind that was dazzled by the victory.

It immediately recruited more troops, and in view of the poor performance in previous battles, the government army also hired retired Greek officers to train the armed forces under its control.

As for the rebel army led by Vedard, they are also doing the same thing. Now both sides are actively preparing to lay the foundation for the next battle.
