My Italy

Chapter 266 Complex Issues

The village of Colkit is located on the banks of the Drin River, only 31 kilometers away from the Albanian city of Shkodra. It is located on the main road from Albania to Kosovo, so there has always been an endless stream of caravans passing through the village, which also allows the residents of the village to profit a lot.

Although the number of caravans traveling on this road has decreased a lot due to the war, the income of the village has not been reduced much because the Italian army frequently passed through this area.

On a new day, the villagers got up one after another, and they were busy. The fruits and vegetables in the farmland were a huge profit for them. Although the rulers have now been replaced by foreigners from the Apennine Peninsula, years of experience tell them that if they want to keep to themselves, it will not have much impact on them. After all, they need to pay taxes.

In fact, it’s not just local residents who have this idea;

There is a small military camp located two kilometers east of the village of Colkit. There is a company of Italian troops stationed here. Its main responsibility is to ensure the stability of the surrounding area and keep the road to Kosovo open at all times.

But today, the commander of the military camp, Captain Gurela, received different orders.

"Are you sure it came from the division headquarters?"

Captain Gurera had understood the order, but still wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes, this order was issued by the division commander himself."

Faced with Captain Gureira's slightly questioning words, the messenger was not surprised, because nine out of ten commanders had asked this question. Although the questions asked are different, the core content is the same.

When he heard that the order was given by the division commander himself, Captain Gureira said nothing more. Captain Guerrera has been in the army for a long time, and he also knows a lot about the temperament of the division commander, Major General Brazo. This division commander rarely issues orders directly. He usually issues them in the name of the division headquarters, and in his own name. The orders issued in the name of the People's Liberation Army are all urgent and serious orders. Such orders cannot be changed or questioned. The troops below must strictly implement them 100%.

Since the messenger said this, Captain Gurela must strictly implement it even if he has any doubts.

After seeing off the orderlies, Captain Gurera called for the orderlies. "Call the deputy company commander and squad platoon leader in immediately. We have a mission now."

"As you command, Captain."

As the orderlies found the deputy company commander and squad platoon leader one by one, a meeting on operational deployment was held in the military camp. This meeting didn't last long, and it was over after an hour. After the meeting ended and the squad platoon leaders left, Captain Gurera spoke to his deputy company commander. "Then we just need to wait for people from the government to arrive."

The people from the government that Captain Gureira said were actually ready, but the Albanian Governor's Palace in Tirana had not yet issued an order.

Because as the governor of Albania, Viscount Aykut Demir is still a little hesitant.

Viscount Demir, who previously held a position in Italy, finally managed to become the governor of Albania this time, is also a sign of his desire to make progress. You must know that before this, Italy had only two and a half governors (the governor of Sicily could only be counted as half due to many domestic restrictions). Look at the governors of East Africa and Borneo, they are almost half the prime minister (last year, the governor of Lanfang was renamed the governor of Borneo. From the name change, you can see Italy's ambitions for the island).

Although Italy has established three new governors this time, his ability to seize the second most important governor of Albania is also a manifestation of his ability.

One more thing, the most important governor in the new establishment is the governor of Kosovo. Italy plans to invest the most money because it has discovered large quantities of much-needed minerals in the area. Then there is the governorship of Albania that he served as. As for the governorship of Libya, because the land is sparsely populated and full of desert, no one wants to eat sand, so he is a despised position.

In addition to him, the Governor of Kosovo, Mills, has just arrived. As for the Governor of Libya, Harward Jogi, he has only just set foot on that land with the army. It is estimated that even where to live is still a problem.

It's just that they didn't expect that when they were all in place and not familiar with anything, this fatal order came from the country.

Expelling all the locals from the country. If this order were issued by another person, no matter who it was, even the Prime Minister, Viscount Demir would dare to spray him to pieces. This is simply adding chaos and not giving them any time to prepare. You must know that before they came, the plan was not like this. Now that they suddenly made earth-shaking changes, it would take time for people to adapt.

Although he doesn't like these pagans who believe in the Koran, he can't just drive them away because of this.

Just the expulsion and the delay in immigration made him and the newly established Albanian government extremely busy.

It's just that the person who gave the order didn't dare to say anything, so he could only execute it silently.

Of course, it is impossible for him to implement this policy alone, and a large number of officials are needed. This raises another problem, that is, most of the officials sent with Viscount Demir are Not ready yet.

Yes, it seems very simple to drive away the locals. All you need to do is send troops and officials to drive them away. But in fact it is very complicated and requires someone to receive it. In addition, a series of tasks such as planning the route, arranging escort, and registering the property are also required.

In addition, there is another very important reason, which is to change the philosophy of officials.

Being an official in the colonies and being an official at home are two different styles. In the colony, as long as you complete the work assigned by your superiors, then at other times, if you compensate yourself a little, nothing will be said. Look at the officials who have returned from Borneo and East Africa in the past few years. They all bring rich wealth, which makes many people envious. In fact, Rome is well aware of this. This is a kind of compensation for the various risks they bear.

We must know that colonial officials cause nearly a hundred casualties every year due to various diseases, accidents and other factors. Especially in Borneo, which has a tropical rainforest climate, accounting for 70% of the total. Without adequate compensation, how can people work with peace of mind?

As for China, due to the stable environment and the political clean-up in recent years, it is no longer possible to make as much money as we did nearly ten years ago.

In China, nearly a hundred officials at all levels are sent to prison every year for corruption and bribery.

When Rome issued an order to expel the locals, it was obvious that they wanted to operate this place as a native land. Since it is local, then laws and regulations must be implemented in accordance with local regulations. This will make many people disappointed, and Viscount Demir needs to adjust the mentality of these people first.

Viscount Demir, who had just finished the meeting, returned to his office and drank a large glass of water first.

"Governor, the military came to ask again and asked us when we will send people there."

Before he could take a breath, the secretary informed him of the military's urging.

"Tell them to give us three more days."

After hearing the secretary's words, Viscount Demir answered without raising his head.

Doesn't he know what the military is thinking? It just wants to get more benefits from this operation. That's why he urged himself one after another. After all, the military has been here for several months, and he and the government officials have been here for less than half a month. There are too many ways to take advantage of information asymmetry.

Viscount Demir is a man who is good at this, and the military can take advantage of this.

So the first time he came here, he immediately arranged for someone to get to know him. Judging from the information learned so far, Albania has a lot of property, and he needs to arrange manpower to keep an eye on these properties.

Three days can be said to be fast or slow, but no matter what, within three days, the government sent many people to compete with the military's troops to carry out the eviction.

A military security operation is about to begin.
