General Simeone, whom all parties had been waiting for, finally returned home. His return rekindled the wave of victory that had originally subsided. Of course, promoters from the government, military and various aspects all played a key role.

In the newspapers and public opinion, General Simeone was praised a lot, and of course they were slightly processed based on the facts.

For example, in the Battle of Alem, when he fought against the Abyssinian Emperor Johannes IV, his Praetorian Guards became 110,000 Abyssinian warriors, and each enemy used rifles. . The 20,000 Italian troops he led became an army of 10,000, and the indigenous cavalry was not even mentioned.

So in the newspapers, it was said that he led 10,000 Italian troops to reinforce the 6th Mountain Brigade. In the Battle of Alem, he killed the enemy emperor and forced the Abyssinians to surrender to Italy.

The person who opened up and expanded Italy in this way is not a hero, but a hero, so he could feel the enthusiasm of the people. If he hadn't been almost fifty years old, he might have received two big bags of love letters. In fact, he received more than ten love letters, but he threw them all away.

You must know that Simone has been married to his wife for more than 20 years, and they have a very good relationship. He will not make such a mistake.

After the communication with the public was completed, Simeone was given free time to arrange. It was freedom, but he needed to visit several people. The number one among them is His Majesty Carlo, who strongly supports himself to become the commander of the expeditionary force. As for the other army bosses, they had to wait until they paid a visit to the king before they could visit them one by one.

So as soon as Simone got a rest, he immediately went to the palace to meet Carlo. Of course, the news spread throughout Rome as quickly as possible.

For this meeting with Simeone, Carlo did not put it in the office, but chose his own reception room. This is enough to show how much Carlo attaches importance to Simeone.

"I have met His Majesty."

In the reception room, Simeone paid his respects to Carlo the first time he saw him.

"Excuse me. As a hero who has made great contributions to the country, General Simeone, you look thinner and darker. Thank you for your hard work."

Facing Simeone's etiquette, Carlo stepped forward and helped him up. The words in his mouth moved the lieutenant general very much.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. I just got sunburned in Africa."

Looking at Lieutenant General Simeone in front of him, Carlo asked with concern. "So do you have any plans to come back this time?"

"Not yet. I plan to return to the Third Army and continue to lead the boys."

Faced with Carlo's inquiry, Simeone stated his plan. Although domestic public opinion praised him very highly, Simeone himself knew that this war with the Abyssinians would not gain him many points. Mainly fighting against Africans, victory is what is deserved. If any other result occurs, it is the commander's negligence. Even Abyssinia, which is currently the strongest in Africa and has the most difficult terrain to attack, is also classified into this category.

Although he knew that these Abyssinians were difficult to fight, the military brass did not think so, which led to his brilliant victory and being accused of causing excessive military casualties. Perhaps in these people's understanding, Africans should charge at them with spears, and the army only needs to form a formation like hunting and keep shooting to kill.

Of course, he could not convince these people by talking to the expeditionary officers and soldiers, so Simeone was too lazy to talk. After the visit was completed, he returned to his Third Army to continue training them.

In this war, the Third Army led by him had a lot of problems. Although it seemed that the training was good on weekdays, it was only after going to the battlefield that he realized that there were still many problems. Of course, these problems are all minor problems, and there are no major problems that affect combat effectiveness, otherwise he would get angry.

Faced with Simeone's words, Carlo nodded and replied. "It's good to go back to the Third Army. At least I can calm down and train. The Army Department in Rome is in a complete mess right now."

Simone didn't dare to accept Carlo's words. Before he returned to Rome, he received news that the relationship between the king and the senior officials was not good, which made him afraid to talk about this issue.

Seeing that Simeone did not dare to answer, Carlo's probing was over and he changed the topic.

"How do you feel about facing people these days?"

"It's very good. Although it's very tiring, seeing that I can be welcomed by so many people, I feel that the sacrifices and struggles of myself and the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force are all worth it."

General Simeone, whom all parties had been waiting for, finally returned home. His return rekindled the wave of victory that had originally subsided. Of course, promoters from the government, military and various aspects all played a key role.
