My Italy

Chapter 288 Expansion

When purging other military leaders, Cardorna also did not forget those moths in the army.

Although these moths have low official positions, they still hold the key to the procurement and storage of materials in the army. The harm they cause to the army is not low. In addition to lining their own pockets, they will also quickly form a huge network of connections like a spider web. This is why they have become a chronic disease in the military. Cleaning one pulls out a large area, making the task of cleaning it up significantly more difficult.

These borers were also the targets that Cadorna wanted to eliminate after he took office as Minister of War. The army is not a garbage dump, and any garbage can be thrown there. An efficient and clean army can ensure combat effectiveness.

Of course, Marshal Cardorna himself had received benefits before this, but it was just to paralyze the delaying tactics of those fighting against the kingdom's military leaders. What do you know?

But as the saying goes, only after you break away will you feel how bad your previous situation was.

So taking advantage of this trend, Marshal Cardorna naturally aimed his gun at these moths.

The Urituna Army Reserve Warehouse in Turin is one of the five major warehouses of the Army. Due to the tense relationship with France in recent years, the warehouse has also received considerable attention and was renovated quickly. Moreover, all materials purchased by the Army will basically have a share in this warehouse, so this is also an area hardest hit by corruption.

"Lieutenant Colonel Pavel, we are from the Military Police Department, and we need to find out something from you."

A team of military police suddenly broke into the office of the warehouse chief, Lieutenant Colonel Pavel, and said the above to the fat lieutenant colonel.

But after hearing the words of the military policeman, Lieutenant Colonel Pavel's face turned pale. The power of the word military policeman in the military can be seen.

The military police officer leading the team looked at the warehouse officer who was slumped in the chair with disgust. He waved his hand and the two men behind him lifted the fat pig up.

"You can't treat me like this, I'm a lieutenant colonel..."

Lieutenant Colonel Pavel screamed and struggled. The fierce struggle made the two military police holding him lose control. Seeing this, the leading officer punched the lieutenant colonel, letting the lieutenant colonel know the consequences of resistance.

Lieutenant Colonel Pavel, who was in pain and wanted to bend over but couldn't, no longer struggled without paying.

The leading officer, satisfied with the effect, looked at him. "Are you awake now?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lieutenant Colonel Pavel, who had become honest, was taken away by the military police. As for how much impact it will have on warehouse personnel, I don’t know.

After possessing the evidence like Lieutenant Colonel Pavel, many people were taken away directly. These were the ones who had been too high-profile before, so they were also the first batch of targets to be attacked.

Of course, in addition to these conclusive evidences, the Army also cooperates with the government to dig deep into the hidden bugs. Of course, this kind of hidden moth is much harder to dig out than those that can directly convict someone.

In an office in a storage area, a military police officer looked at the major officer sitting opposite him and said. "Major Avola, I'm sorry to interrupt you this time, but we have a question to ask you."

Major Avola looked at the officer opposite him without changing his expression and said in a surprised tone. "Your Excellency, if you have something to say, I will tell you everything. My time here is precious, and I hope to keep it short."

Looking at Major Avola with an innocent look on his face, the military police officer secretly praised him for his good psychological quality. Most people would not be afraid to see him, let alone being talked to alone.

It's a pity that such a good psychological quality would do such a wrong thing.

But then again, if he didn't have such a good psychological quality, how could his superiors and subordinates think that he was reliable and honest?

"Major Avola, I would like to ask you. We found that your wife has a huge deposit in the bank, amounting to more than four million lire. Please explain to me why a housewife who does not work has such a It’s so much money, how can you not save so much based on your salary alone?”

The military police officer's words made Major Avola look shocked.

"You mean my wife has more than four million lire in savings? No wonder you came to me. You must think that I embezzled the money."

In terms of acting skills, Major Avola is absolutely outstanding. He vividly showed the shock of an upright officer when he heard that his wife had a huge sum of money. At the same time, he also showed that he finally understood why the military police officer came to him, and showed understanding and reception. The grievances were all revealed in just a short moment.

"Okay, Major Avola. Stop pretending. Your wife has admitted that the money came from you. Now you can explain it."

"This is impossible, how could she wrongly accuse me like this..."

"Bang" the office door opened and the officer came out.

"How's it going? Has he taken it?"

A military police officer who had been waiting outside the door asked the man who had just come out.

"No, he insisted that he had no knowledge. How was the interrogation over there?"

After putting a cigarette in his mouth, the officer who had just come out asked his colleagues.

"There is still no progress. His wife just said a word and she doesn't know why there are so many deposits in the bank."

"So have you found any clues at the bank?"

"Don't mention it. The employee who was responsible for handling his business has resigned. I'm sending someone to look for him."

"Damn it, these banks must be shirking. They are afraid of affecting their business, but they have to comply with the government's orders, so they will blame it on the employees who have resigned. They expect that we can't do anything to them."

"Don't think about these useless things. This is beyond our control. Just do your own thing and bring Major Avola to justice first."

The brief conversation between the two illustrates the difficulty of punishing corruption in the military. In fact, this is also the current problem in punishing corruption in Italy. Without enough evidence, those corrupt elements cannot be convicted at all.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, the military also has its own way to solve the problem, but this method is not very comfortable.

That is to order the officer to retire, determine that the officer is unfit to serve in the army for other reasons, and kick him out of the army.

But this method should only be used as a last resort. After all, you know that the other party is embezzling and accepting bribes, but you can't deal with the other party. Instead, you watch him leave with the stolen money. Doesn't this dampen the morale of the military police and other supervisory agencies? Who wants to see this happen?

Of course, no matter what, the investigation work in the army continues. Examples like Major Avola's can only be considered a very small number and cannot be used as evidence that the supervisory agencies are not doing their job.

Of course, no matter what, after the purge of the new officer Marshal Cadorna, the future combat effectiveness of the Italian Army is worth looking forward to.
