With the Russian Empire completely in control of sea and air supremacy, the attacks of the Russian Empire’s marines and army on Sicily and Sardinia went very smoothly and met with almost no decent resistance.
Or rather, the main thing is that the army combat effectiveness of the Caesar Kingdom is too bad. Their morale plummeted when they learned that the Russians had landed in Sicily and Sardinia in large numbers, that they had been cut off from the Apennine Peninsula, and that they were already in a state of isolation. Many of the soldiers of the Caesar Kingdom no longer even had the courage to fight.
Under such circumstances, there were quite a few troops of the Caesar kingdom that surrendered to the Russian Empire. There were even formed surrenders of troops.
This makes the advance of the Russian army in Sicily and Sardinia very smooth~.
In just a few days, the Russian army completely occupied Sicily and Sardinia.
However, after occupying Sicily and Sardinia, the Russian army did not continue to attack the Apennine Peninsula, but began to build a defensive line, build airfields, and have a long-term garrison here.
Although this made the hearts of the high-ranking people of the Caesar Kingdom couldn’t help but mention their throats, they were finally relieved.
If the Russian army, after capturing Sicily and Sardinia, launched a landing operation directly on the Apennine Peninsula. Well, in order to ensure the security of the Apennine Peninsula, to protect their country from destruction. The Kingdom of Caesar probably has no other choice but to desperately resist the attack of the Russian army.
Originally, the Caesars kingdom was also worried that the Russian army would soon launch an attack on the Apennine Peninsula. However, seeing that half a month has passed, the Russian army is still building fortifications and airfields in Sicily and Sardinia, and it seems that it is not attacking the Apennine Peninsula with the trend. However, the air raids of the Russian Imperial Air Force on the Caesars Kingdom continued, as if to prevent the Caesars Kingdom from building an airport and controlling air supremacy over the Apennine Peninsula.
This approach of the Tsarist Russian Empire also made the high-level of the Caesar Kingdom a little puzzled.
“What the hell are the Russians trying to do? They don’t always attack us, just for Sicily and Sardinia, right? If that’s the case, why are they making such a big fuss! Mussolini felt like he was going crazy.
This feeling is as if a person who has committed a capital crime is about to be executed, but the knife in the executioner’s hand does not fall. However, it is not known when the executioner will do it.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Russians are strengthening the defenses of Sicily and Sardinia and at the same time building large-scale airfields on the islands. It seems that they will station a large number of aircraft here next. Marshal Petrobadoglio said.
Mussolini nodded: “Well, what is the real intention of the Russians?” ”
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Russians may have done so in preparation for an attack on the Apennine Peninsula. Perhaps when they are ready, they will launch an attack on the Apennine Peninsula. However, in fact, the Russians now have an overwhelming advantage in the sea and air, and they have no need to waste time at all. The more we drag on like this, the better prepared we will be. At the same time, our reinforcements will soon arrive. In this case, wouldn’t it be more difficult for the Russians to capture the Apennine Peninsula? Marshal Petrobadoglio was also a little puzzled.
“Bastard! These damned Russians! Mussolini couldn’t help but curse.
This simply makes them uncomfortable, making them very uncomfortable!
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, perhaps the Russians do not want to attack the Apennine Peninsula. In other words, he did not want to attack the Apennine Peninsula for the time being, and did not want to start a large-scale war with the kingdom now. “The commander of the navy, Marshal Paul Leifel, put forward an idea.
“What do you mean?” Mussolini asked.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the main attention of the Russians should still be on the entire North African war. They launched an attack on Sicily and Sardinia, and after taking them, vigorously built airports. The purpose is probably also to be able to deploy a large number of fighters here, and then station a large number of warships to strengthen the control of the western Mediterranean waters. This ensures that the armed forces fighting in North Africa can receive strong naval and air support. At the very least, not to lose air supremacy.

Perhaps, after winning the North African theater, the Russians will also launch an attack on the Apennine Peninsula. However, after all, it is not now. ”
Marshal Paul Leifel continued.
Mussolini nodded, agreeing that the idea was very possible.
“If this is the case, then the Russians have also gone to great lengths to win the battlefield in North Africa.” Mussolini said.
But it has to be admitted that the Russians’ plan has succeeded. They have already taken Sicily and Sardinia. Moreover, it will soon be possible to station a large number of fighter units here. Relying on shore-based aircraft, the Russian navy could enter the western waters of the Mediterranean smoothly. Their troops fighting in North Africa were now supported by the navy and air force. Marshal Petropadoglio sighed.
“The Russians are so cunning. Let us inform our allies of this now. Next, it will be very difficult for us to defeat the Russians on the battlefield in North Africa. Mussolini scolded.
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, if we can defeat the Russians on the battlefield in North Africa. Then our crisis may also be resolved. How many troops will the Russians be able to deploy on just two islands? They simply can’t pose much of a threat to us! Marshal Petrobadoglio said.
Mussolini nodded repeatedly: “We must win victory on the battlefield in North Africa.” If we can defeat the Russians, maybe we will soon be able to organize an army to retake Sicily and Sardinia.
By the way, this may also be a trick of the Russians. Therefore, the defense of the Apennine Peninsula must also be strengthened. There must be no loopholes to avoid being exploited by the Russians! ”
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” The high-ranking officials of the Caesar Kingdom all answered.
The crisis in Caesar’s kingdom seems to have been temporarily lifted.
But what if the Russian Empire won victory on the battlefield in North Africa? Then, they will definitely launch an attack on the Caesar Kingdom in the next step! It’s just a matter of time.
