TNGF
SELECTED
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
primary
A tall, austere man in his late 50s with a sharply defined jawline and closely cropped salt-and-pepper hair. His military bearing is evident in his upright posture, though his shoulders carry the weight of defeat. Pale blue eyes that once held authority now show fatigue, with deep shadows beneath them from prolonged stress.
General Pietro Badoglio
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a stern, square-jawed face, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His military bearing is evident in his upright posture and commanding presence.
Austrian Staff Officer
secondary
A young man in his late 20s, with a lean but sturdy build, clean-shaven face, and short, neatly combed dark brown hair. His sharp blue eyes reflect a mix of professionalism and underlying tension. His posture is upright, indicative of military training, but there's a slight stiffness that betrays his unease.
Italian Aide-de-Camp
secondary
A young military aide in his late 20s, with a lean but sturdy build, clean-shaven face, and short dark hair neatly combed back. His sharp features and attentive eyes reflect his disciplined military training.
Villa Butler
background
A middle-aged man with a lean build, standing at average height. His face is lined with the marks of years of service, and his dark hair is streaked with gray. His hands are slightly calloused from years of labor, and his posture is one of quiet deference.
Dialog
General Pietro Badoglio
General Weber, the terms are as we have discussed. Article VII, subsection 3, requires your forces to withdraw beyond the Tagliamento River within 48 hours.
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
I am aware of the terms, General Badoglio. Though I must note, the logistics of such a withdrawal under current conditions... are challenging.
General Pietro Badoglio
The terms are non-negotiable. Your High Command has accepted them in full.
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
Very well. For the record, I sign under protest regarding the impracticality of the withdrawal timetable.
General Pietro Badoglio
Your protest is noted. But history will record this day as Italy's rightful victory.
General Viktor Weber von Webenau
History records many things, General. Not all of them... accurately.
