TNGF
SELECTED
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a sharply defined jawline and deep-set, shadowed eyes that speak of sleepless nights. His short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair is impeccably groomed despite the circumstances, and his posture maintains military rigidity even in defeat. A thin scar runs along his left temple, a relic from earlier campaigns.
General Pietro Badoglio
primary
A middle-aged Italian general with a stern, square-jawed face, piercing dark eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His posture is rigid, and his build is stocky, reflecting years of military discipline. His presence exudes authority and unyielding determination.
Austrian Staff Officer
secondary
A young man in his mid-20s, slender and slightly hunched from hours of desk work. His smooth, clean-shaven face betrays his youth, with sharp cheekbones and nervous brown eyes that dart between documents and his superiors. His dark hair is neatly parted and slicked back with pomade, military regulation length.
Italian Diplomat
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, precise build. His sharp features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed mustache and cold, calculating eyes that scrutinize every detail. His posture is rigid, exuding an air of bureaucratic efficiency.
Austrian Courier
background
A young man in his mid-20s, slightly built but wiry from hard riding. His face is flushed from exertion, with streaks of mud and sweat tracing lines through the dust on his cheeks. His hair, slightly long and unkempt, clings damply to his forehead beneath his cap. His hands are rough, with dirt ingrained in the creases, and his boots are caked with dried mud and straw.
Dialog
General Pietro Badoglio
Article Three stipulates the immediate withdrawal of all Austro-Hungarian forces behind the pre-war borders. This is non-negotiable.
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
It is understood... yet His Majesty’s regiments require orderly transit. Disorder now serves neither of our nations.
Italian Diplomat
Subsection B clarifies the timeline: seventy-two hours for full compliance. Any delay constitutes a breach.
General Pietro Badoglio
The guns fall silent at 3 p.m. tomorrow. That is the final concession.
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
So it is written.
Italian Diplomat
The signing will commence at once. Witnesses are prepared to attest.
