章節 477: Chapter 377: Declaration of War! Declaration of War!

"The Italians still claim their loyalty to the Triple Alliance. However, the issue is that they also want to maintain their traditional friendship with Britain and France. The Triple Alliance takes on the obligation for defensive wars, but the Italians contend that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is currently carrying out an aggressive war without prior consultation with Italy. Even if the Russians intervene in this war, the Italians will not bear any obligations, and Italy will remain neutral in this war", replied Prime Minister Betman.

Although the Italians' argument seems reasonable, compared to Germany's steadfast support for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is simple nonsense.

The only reason Italy hasn't fulfilled its alliance obligations is that it wants to play both sides of the fence between the allied nations and the Allies, and join this war in a likely victorious manner.
