One Thousand and Thirty-Six to Avoid the Plague

readx(); If anyone still remembers the calls that Akado made when he was determined to raid Italy, then he should remember what the other party said on the phone: "No problem, my head of state...just manpower There is a slight shortage in the field, and I hope to use part of the reserve force."

Akado agreed to this decision, so the German special forces mobilized all the men trained in the school and went to Italy to collect the weapons of the resistance forces. The trainees of these special forces are generally sent to less dangerous places to perform tasks, and they also won a large number of surrenders to the German army in these places.

Wren was ordered, along with two officers, to this not so troublesome barracks to collect the weapons of the approximately 1,000 Italian troops and order them to remain neutral in the conflict. However, there was a little more change than planned, because Italy sent a relatively tough direct descendant of Mussolini, which added some troubles to this recruitment task.

So Alice directly killed the unlucky direct descendant of Mussolini, and met such a female soldier who was shooting the enemy with a machine gun all day long on the front line, and it was truly unlucky to say that he was unlucky. As soon as this unlucky guy died, the situation was immediately controlled by the German army without any surprises. All the Italian defenders put down their weapons in cooperation and accepted the German army's incorporation.

After all, these Italian soldiers were all trained by the German army. Many people have seen the horror of the German army in terms of combat quality. Coupled with the chaos caused by Mussolini's temporary defection, there were not many Italian troops who were used to performing on the spot. Immediately forget the fact that they and the German army are no longer allies.

For these Italians, surrendering their weapons to their allies, the Germans, was not a sign of treason or cowardice. Some of them even supported Marshal Garibaldi more, so they surrendered as a matter of course.

The German tanks found a long-lost sense of propulsion in Italy. These armored vehicles with a large number of cavalry were advancing rapidly on the not-so-developed Italian roads. This can be said to be a real World War II German army attack on Italy. Under the leadership of horses and panther tanks, the unmechanized German army swept across the Italian army who had no fighting intentions. past.

The German J Army under General Hoth's command was not fully mobilized at all. The only 8th Panzer Army had been divided into battalion-by-battalion combat units because of its excessive advance speed, and it could not be gathered to form a combat cluster. Now General Holt has only one SS 10th Panzer Division as a reserve team, which is very pitiful.

But the Italian army didn't even plan to fight back, and most of the local defenders didn't retreat, but waited for the German army to enter the city, and then handed over the weapons in their hands to the German army who came to recruit them, even if they had completed their mission. Work. There were more than 400,000 Italian troops doing this, and the German army couldn't believe their eyes for a while.

Hundreds of thousands of Italian defenders put down their weapons and made the decision to incorporate the German army. On the one hand, Mussolini’s insufficient pre-war mobilization preparations in order to cover up,

On the other hand, most of the Italian army pinned their hopes on the conjecture that the German army only targeted Mussolini.

After all, Marshal Garibaldi made it easier for Italian power diplomacy to continue, and this deep military respected the marshal. Ten minutes ago, a statement against Mussolini was issued in southern Italy, exposing to the people of the whole country the ugly face of Mussolini abandoning the North African Army and disregarding the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers just for his own personal ambitions .

This incident caused the Italian army to turn back more in the face of the German attack. Although Mussolini quickly came out to refute the rumors, the morale of the army has been shaken at this time, and the entire defense line is in a stage of collapse. Soon the important port government announced its support for Garibaldi, and the defenders of Bologna also announced a change of flag.

The German army went all the way south, and the Italians surrendered and defected faster than the German Wehrmacht. On the 12th hour when the Italian Mussolini Group announced its withdrawal from the Axis Powers, the Governors of the Italian North African Expeditionary Force and Libya and other regions all supported Marshal Garibaldi. After 10 hours, Italy broke away from the Axis Powers for 22 Hours later, the expeditionary forces stationed in the Balkans declared their side with the Axis powers.

Before Mussolini had time to complete his second-layer defense system, the German army had already rushed all the way to the north of Florence and San Marino, occupying the entire northern part of Italy. The price paid by the German army for occupying such a vast area was 240 paratroopers killed and 1,700 injured.

General Huot had no confidence in his Italian offensive a day ago, because there were too few troops in his hands that could be assembled. But after the two sides fought for a day, he found that his troops were forced to stop due to fatigue, and most of the troops on the way hadn't even fought a decent battle.

Most of the German army didn't even get to the actual line of control between the two sides. They were forced to stop their steps and camped to rest in order to maintain a good combat effectiveness in the future. The defected Italian troops also controlled a large area where the Germans did not arrive.

The famous Italian city of Naples welcomed Marshal Garibaldi on this night, and tens of thousands of people held torches to welcome the return of the hero of the Italian expedition. People shook torches and sang songs to send the hero in their hearts to the city hall in Naples, and then the whole of southern Italy, including Sicily, declared to obey Garibaldi's dispatch and break away from Mussolini's rule.

An officer loyal to Mussolini had just arrived in Bari at this time, and the port was hoarding a large amount of supplies and equipment. Most of the goods are Jewish merchants who support their own country's purchases, such as equipment and food goods. There are even some private cars, and a large number of Jewish civilians preparing to pour into Israel.

The entire port was in chaos. After all, the founding of Israel had a huge impact on the Jewish world. Many people abandoned their prosperous life outside, willing to return to their hometown and live even in poverty. In addition to the construction projects and materials aided by Germany, the whole of Italy seems to be full of transport ships and goods.

In order to intercept this batch of goods, it was also an important reason why Mussolini was eager to launch. And this Mussolini's confidant officer rushed over at this time in a hurry, also because of the large amount of ammunition stockpiled in the port of Bari.

"The leader's order, the port must be closed here, waiting for further orders." The officer found the person in charge of the port and announced Mussolini's order. He hurried here all the way without even drinking his saliva. After finishing the order dry-mouthed, he began to arrange the task of how to transfer the port materials.

However, the eyes of the few officers who he was not ordered to leave were full of unfriendly looks. Soon the order to block the port was known to the Israeli officials who arranged for transportation and loading and unloading here, and sooner, these Israeli officials used banknotes to settle all uncooperative Italian garrisons.

The port was indeed blocked, but the goods were still being transported out of the port by ships one by one. The busy appearance was the same as before the blockade. Even the Italian destroyer responsible for the blockade mission did not trouble anyone.

And the trusted officer of Mussolini who was sitting in the office waiting for good news, was waiting for a dozen vicious guards. These Italian guards rushed into the office, and then used gun butts and leather boots, Beat the poor boss to death. A few minutes later, the port of Bari declared its support for all Axis actions and sent an army of 500 men to Naples to fight for Marshal Garibaldi.

Only 30 hours had passed since Mussolini announced his withdrawal from the Axis group, and two-thirds of Italy was out of his control. Mussolini's rule, which was originally invincible, collapsed in an instant. Even he himself didn't understand why Akado called the head of state to win the hearts of all the people in Germany, but he turned himself into a leader and ended up betraying his relatives.

The most trustworthy black shirt troops actually took off their black shirts and put on SS uniforms. These originally firm private armed forces have subtly become loyal believers of the German Greater German Party. They are no longer loyal to Mussolini, but loyal to an integrated and powerful Europe.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? Where are those staff members? Why haven't they come yet?" Mussolini got the news that half of Italy had fallen in just a few hours, and he was at a loss. Wandering around in his office, waiting for the staff who usually surround him to give him a slightly more decent idea.

But more than an hour passed, none of those staff and generals appeared in front of him. He sent people to look for some of them, and found that some of them had already left the city of Rome, and some of them were at home, but when they heard that Mussolini had invited them, they immediately refused to come.

Now as long as you are not a fool, you can clearly know that Mussolini is gone. No one wants to stand with the loser when standing in line, right? Therefore, those staff who had hoped to obtain high positions through Mussolini in the past, avoiding him at this moment is like avoiding the plague.
