The Skopje offensive and defensive battle in full swing has begun, and when the officers and soldiers of the two sides are desperately fighting, Carlo, who is far away in Rome, also has his own problems.

However, his difficulty is much less difficult than that of the Italian officers and soldiers who fought **** battles.

Perhaps to some, this is the king making a fuss.

"This is the change your Department of Transportation made?"

Looking at the document in his hand, Carlo looked at the Minister of Transport Pedersen in front of him with an unhappy expression.

The Pedersen, who was watched by Carlo, complained inwardly. Why did this monarch suddenly care about the Ministry of Communications, and saw the rectification plan of the Ministry of Communications in person. With so many departments, is your own department directly selected?

Pedersen didn't understand, but he knew what to do now.

Facing the anger from the king, he immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "I will take this rectification plan back and negotiate again, and I will definitely come up with a better rectification plan."

In the face of this old-fashioned transport minister, Carlo coldly put the rectification plan in front of him again. "I will wait for the new rectification plan from the Ministry of Transport."

Being so concerned by Carlo, I don't know whether Pederson should be happy or sad.

After sending the Minister of Transport away, Carlo rubbed his face. He was busier than before. Among them, the reason for the renewed war with Ottoman is only a small part. The more reason is that, like the Ministry of Transportation, it is necessary to review the rectification plans of various departments.

The biggest reason for Carlo to insist on rectification of various departments during the war was that after the war, the government departments and even the military continued to make mistakes in all aspects.

Take the military as an example, there are various flaws in the lists of recruits, and even those who have died for several years are recruited, which fully shows that the military's work is not in place.

In addition, there are countless mistakes in the preparation of materials. Take the Ministry of Communications, which Carlo pointed out to criticize, it is common for railway transportation to be delayed, and some are even delayed by more than ten hours. The reasons for all this are also multi-faceted. In addition to various discomforts in the face of the sudden increase in tasks, there is also the lack of awareness and thinking of the original personnel.

Of course, other departments also have various problems, which are not listed one by one. As for why the Ministry of Communications was proposed separately, it is also because road traffic plays a huge role in military, economic and political matters, whether it is on weekdays or in emergencies such as wartime. Otherwise, the motherland in the afterlife will not build a large number of various communication lines.

Bringing everyone closer, and even letting them feel the information from the outside world, can have a huge effect on them. To put it badly, this also makes it easier for the Royal Government to control everyone and families. After all, the saying that the emperor is far away is not unique to China.

Therefore, the necessary rectification is also imminent. As for the election in wartime, this is better understood. It's not that wartime requires more time, but wartime is easier to cut through the mess. After all, wartime is quick and urgent, but the efficiency is better than other times.

And just when Carlo was about to continue to attack the government department, the captain of the guard hurried in. "Your Majesty, the Ottomans of Adrianople have acted."

Filimic's words surprised Carlo. "When did it start?"

"Just this morning, this was a telegram from our frontline advisor in Bulgaria."

Although Carlo doesn't know much about the military, he also knows that the battle in Adrianople is very important to Italy.

Carlo took the telegram and immediately read it. On the telegram, the Italian advisor from Adrianople detailed the scene of the war.

At about 7 o'clock this morning, the Ottoman army from Adrianople launched a large-scale artillery attack, and the thick artillery fire shrouded the Bulgarian positions.

Although the Bulgarians built their positions, this time the Ottomans seemed to have pulled up all the artillery in the whole country. Although the number of artillery pieces of the Ottoman army was not too many, there were a lot of heavy artillery among them. The experienced Italian consultant heard three The roar of shells over 100mm caliber.

He can put his hand on the Bible and swear that it is definitely a heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm. Although the Ottoman army has not been equipped with such a huge artillery, considering the introduction of coastal defense artillery, it is self-evident where it came from.

These Ottomans were really bold and dismantled the coastal defense artillery guarding Istanbul and shipped them over. Are they not afraid of the Italian fleet breaking into the strait and shelling Istanbul?

Although I don't know what Osman is capable of, he dares to do so. But the effect is really obvious.

Although this kind of heavy artillery has an impressive rate of fire, its power is quite large. Basically, one shot will kill or injure people within the range of most of the football field. Such a powerful artillery bombardment is naturally terrifying, and no one can remain calm in the face of such a powerful heavy artillery bombardment. Fortunately, the rate of fire of such a heavy artillery is impressive. The Ottoman artillery is well-trained to make one shot every minute. In addition, there are only two artillery pieces on the front line, and the number of other Ottoman heavy artillery with a caliber above 150 mm is also rare, so the Bulgarian army bites. The teeth resisted, although it still had some impact, but it was not enough to let its morale collapse under the shelling.

With the end of the shelling and the appearance of the Ottoman infantry, the morale of the Bulgarian army began to pick up.

Yes, you read that right, the morale of the Bulgarian defenders increased under the onslaught of the Ottoman infantry.

The main reason for this spectacle is the lack of combat effectiveness of the Ottoman army in Adrianople. At present, the well-trained Ottoman army has either been defeated and annihilated before, or has been besieged. Especially the more than 100,000 Ottoman troops currently besieged in Macedonia are the absolute elites they have trained for many years.

This has also led to the fact that there are currently nearly 300,000 Ottoman troops in Adrianople, of which less than 80,000 were pre-war troops, and the rest were temporarily formed after the outbreak of the war. Among them, there are nearly 100,000 people who have formed a brand-new army in less than a month. What can you expect from these recruits who can't even shoot a gun?

Carlo is not clear about the actual situation of the Ottoman army, but at least in this report, Bulgaria blocked the news of the Ottoman attack, which gave him a sigh of relief.

After putting down the telegram, Carlo asked the captain of the guard in front of him. "Has the Army got any news?"

"I already know."

"Then do they have any countermeasures?"

"Not yet, but I think the War Department should have a countermeasure."

Ferimić was right, the news that the Ottoman army had launched an attack in Adrianople made the War Department respond immediately.

The two divisions that were originally going to be used to seize the island were immediately changed by the War Department and ordered to turn to Thessaloniki. As for whether the reinforcements will support Skopje or Adrianople, it depends on the actual situation.

As for the battle of Skopje that Admiral Cadorna is commanding, I believe he definitely received the news earlier than Rome. As for what to do, there is no need to remind the battle-hardened chief of staff.
