(Sorry.) TURN ORDER: PATRIA -> VENICE -> CATALONIA ケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケ Once more, the nation is in a state of crisis, and any control the prime minister had managed to restore in the opening months of the war has been almost completely shatterd as heavy decentralisation grips the nation, the popularity of secession flares in Venetia, and the demoralised soldiers on the front begin questioning the high command's orders. However, the fear of Syndicalism keeps the nation together, barely. Massive blackouts and communication cuts from heavy patrian bombing have destroyed all connection between the army and government, intelligence arrives in slivers every few weeks, and is often distorted from original orders, basic government orders to try build telegraph lines between short distances begin, with the hopes being that if they are hidden well enoguth, and construction continues for longenoughh, there will be a chain allowing for orders to be issued to the fronts eventually, and for the lines to be safeguarded by airstrikes. Once telegraphs are eventually online, basic orders will be delivered to the frontline. The generals in the encircled territories, left with no options, begin digging in. They will utilise the basic engineering equipment available to them to try to construct trench networks, while also purposefully shelling the lands directly in front of them to create a no-man's land and increase the difficulty of offensives. ammunition and food is rashend, and soldiers take their positions. In Lazio, we will prepare for its inevitable fall, troops will begin training locals in guirilla warfare, and we will begin attempting to establish a partisan network there, setting up safe houses, hidden arms depots, and formalising structures while also teaching basic espionage and sabotage, this will also take places in other regions, and we will try use the telegraph network under construction to help the partisans eventually coordinate. On the frontline troops will begin preparing fall back positions and planning for a phased withdrawal. Ideally, they will attempt to hold the territory, but if not, troops are to retreat to fall back positions and also attempt to destroy military infrastructure that can be used by patria.
