Chapter 1064 The Most Boring German

Visconti, of course, is not a visionary. During his garrison in Albania, he had already figured out the strength of his opponent's enemy.

On the opposite side of his attack, there was only one 8th Infantry Division under the command of Major General Qasimitros, and the West Macedonian Group (division level) and Bandus Regiment were responsible for the backup and flank protection tasks, with a total strength of only 30,000 people, and Lack of heavy weapons such as tanks and howitzers, the air force is basically a display.

It can be said that, in his eyes, it is effortless to fight against Greece, which is just a good opportunity for him to accumulate military exploits and prestige.

Moreover, although he patted his chest and said that it is enough to rely on his own army, there will definitely be some reinforcements coming from Italy. If he can't win in this way, then he will be boring, and he will just retire. .

Visconti was very confident. Just after Mussolini made the decision, he was even more excited. After this war was over, let this old guy get out of the way and become the chief of staff himself!

However, at this moment, an urgent telegram from Germany arrived.

With a complacent smile on his face, Mussolini opened the telegram and saw the content on it. Suddenly, his smile froze.

"Leader, what did the Germans say?" asked Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law.

Mussolini tore the telegram into strips with both hands, and said quietly: "It's nothing, the Germans have shown great support for us, and wish our actions against Greece will be very smooth in advance."

Although he spoke without emotion, everyone knew that the real content of the telegram was definitely not like this.

At this time, Mussolini was angry in his heart. This Cyric is really no big or small. When I was making a revolution, you still played with urine cement! Now, dare to curse Lao Tzu!

There were only a few words on the telegram. Italy stopped its military operations against Greece, otherwise it would be completely defeated under the counterattack of Greece!

"If the Italians launch a military attack on Greece, they will definitely fail." In the wolf's lair, Cyric made a judgment immediately after receiving the news.

This Mussolini will really make trouble! Cyric knew how much the Italian army had. Cyric knew that if Italy attacked Greece, there would be no good fruit to eat.

"So, shall we remind the Italians?" Field Marshal Keitel asked.

"Reminder, immediately send a telegram to remind the Italians, but our reminder may be invalid." Cyric said.

My side reminded Mussolini not to attack Greece. How would Mussolini react? It's almost ashamed and angry, this self-righteous old guy! It's almost time to change someone to lead Italy!

"Greece relies on the Aegean Sea and is close to Turkey. If Greece is occupied, Italy will definitely continue to covet Turkey, which will stimulate the Soviets even more." Cyric said: "Mussolini made a bad move."

Now that Germany and the Soviet Union have just come out of the brink of war, Cyric doesn't want any more accidents to happen, but unfortunately, the Italians have come to cause trouble again.

Historically, Hitler had considerable respect for this revolutionary big brother. When Italy suffered a defeat in Greece, Mussolini asked Germany for help. As a result, Hitler immediately attacked Greece.

This fight has abruptly delayed the plan to attack the Soviet Union for more than a month. If there was no such delay, maybe the Germans would have been able to reach Moscow. Winter in Moscow.

Hitler respected Mussolini, but Cyric didn't like Mussolini, so he was thinking of finding someone to replace him.

"Tell the Italians, if they get into a fight with the Greeks, don't come to us for help when they are chased by the Greeks!" Cyric continued angrily.

Germany will not find this place for Italy, Germany has more important things.

Some stubborn enemies must be resolved through war, such as Britain and France, such as the Soviet Union and the United States. However, some enemies will be defeated without a fight. When Germany defeats the Soviet Union, the remaining countries in Europe will not have to Into the arms of Germany?

Greece doesn't need to fight at all, and will have to take the initiative to join Germany in the future. Now Italy is simply looking for a draw.

Cyric's judgment made the Italians unhappy, and Cyric's warning later made Mussolini even more angry. Isn't this looking down on Italy?

"Party leader, if you are determined to attack Greece, I suggest that we can draw some troops from North Africa. Those troops have been fighting with the Germans for a period of time, and they are the most effective." Seeing Mussolini's statement, After a long time, Marshal Badoglio finally proposed a compromise.

He was reluctant to fight, because he deeply knew the combat effectiveness of the Italian army and what Visconti was under. He knew that in the Italian army, the only combat effectiveness was the army in North Africa.

These troops accepted the command of the Germans, and Germany even installed some German instructors in the army, with serious discipline, training skills, and barely passing combat effectiveness. These troops followed the Germans and hit the Middle East together.

It's a pity that Marshal Bagdoglio still miscalculated. He didn't know that the most annoying thing for the party leader now is to mention the Germans. After leaving the Germans, it seems that he can't do anything.

Drawn from the North African Legion? Of course not! Those troops went with Germany, and Germany had to eat meat, and Italy had to drink soup. If the troops were withdrawn, the Germans would surely give Italy nothing.

"There is no need to recruit from North Africa. I think it can be recruited from our homeland. Yes, the Littoral Combat Brigade and the 3rd Alpine Division will be launched, and this battle must be fought well!" Mussolini said: "Restore what we used to be. The glory of ancient Rome, this is the mission entrusted to us by history!"

What else did Marshal Bagdoglio want to say, Mussolini had already stood up, looking at the sun outside the window, Mussolini murmured: "God bless, let us restore the glory of ancient Rome!"

Show those Germans that the Italian army is not so weak!

With Mussolini's final touch, a huge military operation kicked off like this. They only had half a month to prepare, they needed to transport a lot of materials, and they needed to prepare before the war.

Fortunately, all this was concealed from the Greeks. The Greeks were also not afraid of the sky and earth. Italy has threatened war, and they are still the same as before.

On October 28, day and day approached.
