Austrian Commander Vukcevic looked at the scene before him with disbelief.
"Being defeated by the French Army I can understand, but what does it mean to be crushed by the Italians?" he muttered under his breath.
As he spoke, his left flank was being scattered by the red-clad Italian troops, while the blue lines of the French Army were still some distance from his front line.
Vukcevic's Chief of Staff said in a low voice, "Things might really be as that Frost said, times have changed, our troops can't keep up with the times anymore."
Vukcevic turned his head sharply and glared fiercely at his Chief of Staff: "Do not speak such bewitching nonsense here! Have you been hiding enemy propaganda leaflets?"
The Chief of Staff shrugged: "Everyone here has read the newspapers put out by the Italians, which fully reprint Frost's articles about the nation-state and national self-determination. He makes some good points."
