In the command post of the Allied Forces security organization, General Onorato di Giva, the chief commander of the Sardinian Army, looked at the order document in his hand, and after a long time, reluctantly said: "Isn't this taking too long?
"Perhaps I should return and report to His Majesty the King..."
The French officer in front of him smiled and said: "Please rest assured, the General Staff has already obtained the approval of His Majesty Emanuele IV. I believe his courier will soon arrive in Ancona."
This officer was an official from the General Staff of the Mediterranean Security Organization.
Just now, he delivered the General Staff's order to General Giva—that in order to prevent Naples from launching a retaliation and to ensure that they strictly adhere to the ceasefire agreement, the security organization decided to station troops in Ancona on a rotating basis.
Ancona is a city adjacent to the west side of Abruzzo, only five or six days' journey away from the latter.
