Italy Wakes to War!!!
King not amused say insiders
This morning King Case was shocked to learn that Britain, France and Germany are on the brink of war.
In a meeting held during his breakfast the King berated the British ambassador for his government's failure to consult with the Allied nations before issueing such a blunt ultimatium to Germany. In particluar, the King questioned how a nation who recently issued a statement saying they wouldn't support other members of the Entente in the event that they attacked Germany can now threaten to commit the Alliance to a war with Germany.
German ambassador consulted
Following his breakfast, King Case sumoned the German ambassador to the palace. The King expressed the desire that war could be averted through negotiations between France, Britain and Germany.
The King informaed the German ambassador that despite his personal disaproval of the British actions, Italy remains a commited member of the Entente, and will fully comply with decisions made, and will fight alongside her allies should war break out over this issue.
King Case suggested to the German ambassador that perhaps a commitment not to base warships in the Netherlands and not to build rail links between Dutch and German cities could avert a regrettable war.
Military on alert
In light of recent developments, all leave in the Royal Italian armed forces has been canceled. Reservists have been notified to prepare for mobalisation at very short notice.
