Nine Hundred and Twenty-Six Attitude Questions

Germany has lost a prime minister who is like a sea god, and the impact of this incident will not fade away so casually. At least the handover of Germany's internal affairs will last for a long time.

Augustus is indeed a very powerful figure. He was trying his best to distract himself from the things he wanted to ask during his lifetime. He handed over all industrial matters to Speer, and the facts have proved that Speer is worthy of organizing industrial production. He alone provoked the burden of German industrial restructuring and made the entire European industry prosperous. up.

In terms of diplomacy, Ribbentrop took over German diplomacy, and then Germany and northern Britain completed a series of treaty exchanges, including border confirmation and survey, and North Sea minerals belonged to Germany, and Germany supported northern Britain in defense. Series Covenant.

In terms of the rest of the internal affairs, Dominis is also worthy of being a student of Augustus. Judging from the aspect that he took over the work left by Augustus, although the new imperial prime minister is insufficient in pioneering, it can definitely be said that he is more than conservative. Therefore, although there were many problems in the handover of internal affairs, it was calm and there was no unnecessary confusion.

But now Akado has no way to rush back to the eastern front. After all, without a Dinghaishenzhen in Berlin, Akado has to stay in his old lair and stabilize the specific situation behind him↗ . After all, this is a transitional period, and Akado, the head of state, sits in the core lair personally, which can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

And an important problem left by Augustus is the difference in the diplomatic caliber of the Axis powers. Dominis and Ribbentrop are meeting Akado at the Fuehrer's mansion because of this matter, and reported this very difficult matter to the Fuehrer.

"My head of state. More than half a month ago, American troops landed in Australia, and now they are fighting against the remnants of the Japanese army in Western Australia..." Dominis briefly introduced the situation. These intelligences from abroad are collected by the entire empire, some from Enemy radio stations, some from regular reports from spies.

"The problem is that when the United States landed in Australia, we, as a solid ally of northern Britain, expressed our attitude towards this matter." A terse statement: "The imperial position you stated at the time was: 'From now on, the war will never end until American troops leave the territory of the Axis allies!'"

He put down the document in his hand while talking, then picked up another document, and said to Akado: "But my head of state, the leader of Italy, Mussolini, did not express Italy's attitude. It is not good news that he chose to remain silent on the matter.”

"Mussolini... I really didn't see that he still has such ability!" Akado sneered, and then continued: "Have you communicated with the Italian embassy about this matter? Know them What do you think?"

"The staff of the Italian embassy don't know what their leader is up to,

We have our own people in there, so we can be sure that this kind of diplomatic action was made by people in their country, and they have not discussed with their embassy..." Dominis said regretfully: "It seems that they In this matter, a very irrational decision may have been made. "

After the end of the Balkan Wars, Italy became less interested in expansion. They are more enthusiastic about developing Libya's oil fields, and then reveling in their own annexation of a part of the Balkans to expand their territories. Mussolini is very satisfied with the benefits Italy has received at this stage. He is unwilling to carry out high-risk expansion, and instead hopes to end the war as soon as possible, turning vested interests into "fait accompli".

The oil fields in Libya allowed Italy to find the backbone of its future economy; the loss of front-line Italian troops and the disadvantages of combat made the Italians no longer willing to believe in the combat effectiveness of their army. Under such circumstances, Italy has been unilaterally seeking to be marginalized. Mussolini felt that it was in Italy's national interest to let Germany fight the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, this leader is not too interested in the affairs of the Axis countries. He is more willing to talk about the economic problems of Italy, as well as the longer-term colonial development and integration process.

Because of this, the Italian Navy's blockade of the Mediterranean was delayed. The German squadron that originally planned to enter the Mediterranean had to stay in the port of Vichy France because of Italy's resistance. The route from Italy to the Black Sea also failed to meet the requirements of the German army to reduce transportation costs. On the other hand, it also dragged down the German army's action plan in the Caucasus region.

In fact, as early as a month ago, Italy had already begun to advocate the truce and peace. Mussolini's idea was to "lose the expeditionary force, keep Africa, and negotiate peace with the United States."

The specific operation process is: here to provide Germany with hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops as insurance money to buy peace, then consolidate its vested interests in Libya and Egypt, and finally reach an armistice agreement with the United States to completely end this world war. Of course, it has nothing to do with Italy whether the Germans end it or not, as long as Italy ends it.

I have to admit that this foreign policy of Italy is indeed very attractive, adhering to the core idea that Italy has always imagined that it contributes the least and benefits the most, at least it is in line with the Italians' own appetite - treat the whole world as a fool, and then only Italy People are smart.

"Mussolini regarded me as a fool. And that President Roosevelt, whom I have never met, also regarded me, the head of state, as a fool." Akado glanced at Dominis and Ribbentrop, and spoke slowly. Slowly said: "The SS has been formulating corresponding countermeasures as early as six months ago. Reinhardt suggested that we use subversive means and kill Mussolini when necessary."

"The Italian king's attitude is very ambiguous. I can't judge what kind of impact it will have on Italy's foreign policy once the other side regains its power." Ribbentrop sighed and said: "Without a designated Until a pro-German heir appears, I suggest that it is best not to overthrow the Mussolini regime so easily that we will cause ourselves trouble."

Akado nodded. No matter how good he is in terms of this kind of international issues, he is still not as good as these geniuses in front of him, so at least in terms of listening to opinions, Akado does not resist the other party giving him more suggestions. So he said another alternative plan: "In fact, we are in Africa and have been focusing on training Marshal Garibaldi in Italy. I hope he can become the new leader of Italy."

This Marshal Garibaldi was the General Garibaldi who had always partnered with Rommel and served as Governor of North Africa and Commander-in-Chief of the Italian Army in North Africa. He was promoted to Marshal because of his meritorious service and became a national hero in Italy. And this marshal also has an unknown super background, that is, he and that Giuseppe Garibaldi are relatives.

The Marshal Garibaldi has always followed Rommel's lead. He is pro-German in his standpoint and believes that Germany's military strength is invincible. Because of this, he has always maintained a good relationship with Germany in North Africa, which also makes the Germans like to deal with this Italian general.

Rommel was able to organize attacks and hoard supplies in North Africa with peace of mind, all because of the support of such an Italian backer. After all, the German army asked for things under the banner of Garibaldi, and it would be easier for Italy to give them.

"You mean, shape him into Italy's Napoleon? Return to Italy from North Africa, seize power and become our loyal ally?" Ribbentrop immediately heard the rhythm behind Akado's words. With the participation of Fanny, a media tycoon, it seems that it is not difficult to create an Italian national hero.

"Once the operation starts, Mussolini will know what we are going to do. This is a last resort. There is still a little bit to take out now..." Dominis thought for a while and said: "We should let the embassy in Italy and Mexico Talk to Sorini and try to get him to give up flirting with the United States."

"If, I mean if, our final operation is forced to begin. My head of state, how sure are your troops that you can complete the complete control of Italy?" Ribbentrop was obviously not as optimistic as Dominis, and he directly Asked the last thing I wanted to know.

Akado thought for a while, and then replied: "We will do three things at the same time: first, let the Italian troops in North Africa and the Eastern Front support Marshal Garibaldi, and support him to return to China to seize power; second, General Hoth's Army Group J will immediately enter Italy and disarm the Italian troops; thirdly, the SS will obliterate all high-ranking Italians who obstruct our actions, including Mussolini and the King of Italy if necessary."

He paused, and then continued: "The disarmament of Italy is the most complicated thing, but I think overall, the possibility of us successfully controlling the whole of Italy is at least 70%."

After hearing this, Ribbentrop nodded slightly. He didn't care about the specific implementation of these plans, but only the success rate of things. Now that he had what the head of state said, he thought for a while and said to Akado: "I will do my best diplomatically to prevent Italy from withdrawing from the Axis group...One month, you give me one month, if I Failed, don't hesitate, please implement the plan against Italy immediately."
