AHC: Italy as a military power

It tis very plausable. What Italy must do Is invoke mass conscription. Next they should immediatly declare war on the Ottomans. Have them destroy Ottoman forces and take Libya. From there have the Italians invade and sieze Tunisia. Sue for peace with the Ottomans shortly thereafter and look Tunisia and Libya are under Italian control.
Next find some way to integrate southern Sicily and Sardinia into the Italian empire.
Have them pass laws approoving more births and take advantage of Tunisian and Libya. Resources. Have them build many railroads after looting Libya and Tunisa of gold. Then have massive reforms occur in the army by some genius general.
Rough sketch but should work.

That might work in an RTS, but not in real life. More territory and resources do not necessarily translate into more power, institutions to take advantage of those resources are what translates into a stronger state. And institutions take a long time to build.
