Victor stopped walking and bent down to pick up a shell washed ashore by the waves. He carefully examined the shell's patterns: "Have the photos been taken?"
"The embedded reporter took them. Front, side, the rank is clear. Do we need to process them? He has a head injury, his face might be disfigured."
"No need to process them." Victor tossed the shell back into the sea. "Reality is the best propaganda. Send the photos out to all media we have contacts with. Especially to those in Europe."
"Yes."
"What else did Kitchener say in the telegram?"
Casare flipped to the second page: "The Chief of Staff suggested that given the Italian forces have collapsed and their defense zone has a gap, our army could take advantage of this opportunity to advance 5 to 8 kilometers northeast, threatening the Coalition's flank. But he also warned that other NATO forces might intensify their vigilance, or even contract their defense line."
