Chapter 307: Rebellion is in the Air
Both sides were preparing for a major zone of conflict to break out in the next few months. And it was universally understood by all the parties involved in the Great War that it would occur within the Alps. As Italy was the weakest link of those that remained at war with the Central Powers.
However, while minor skirmishes were occurring on the front lines that had held firm in a bloody stalemate for the course of a year, more intense engagements were occurring in the far east.
