Italians are busily discussing Anning's military achievements as he comes out from the headquarters.
The Milanese Redwoods watched as Julian, the General's horse boy, led the General's horse over. The bearded man joked, "This horse boy would be a perfect fit for Baz to work as; I wonder if the General would like an Italian horse boy."
Someone immediately responded, "Baz wanting to become the General's horse boy would need a name change. I heard that the horse boy changed his name to Julian, which is the name of a Roman Emperor."
Italy also had a Rome, so Italians inherently see themselves as the true successors of Rome, especially the revolutionaries against Austria, using this to mock the Holy Roman Empire.
Voltaire's famous saying was very popular in Italy under the rule of the Holy Roman: "The Holy Roman Empire is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."
The General mounted the horse and waved to the Italians as he passed.
