Fascist editor Virginio Gayda warned Italy not to expect an immediate invasion of England. He said a gradual campaign using air attacks and submarine blockade would isolate Britain, with invasion likely only after the preparatory phase weakens resistance. Britain and Italy would also operate in the Mediterranean to erode Britain's strength.
