Chapter 1094 The King of Italy

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you." In the Italian royal palace, the thin Bagdoglio met the Italian king in front of him, Vittorio Emanuele III.

When it comes to the three giants of the Axis Powers in World War II, almost everyone is familiar with it. The leader of Italy is Mussolini, but few people have noticed that on the head of Mussolini, there is also the King of Italy.

Italy is a country ruled by the monarchy. The prime minister of Italy is appointed by the king, and the current king has been in power for 40 years. He has experienced wars with Turkey and a war. Time is engraved on his face. After the imprint, he was already a seventy-year-old man.

At this age, people seem to be a little old and confused. For example, the current Emanuele III has almost become a puppet of Mussolini.

When the Ethiopian war was launched, Emanuele III did not agree. At that time, Britain and France were still watching, but he could not control Mussolini's actions. If Mussolini wanted to do it, the Italian army did it. .

In the past few years, there have been rumors outside, but Bagdoglio knew that His Majesty the King, his thinking is still sharp, he is now pretending to be confused, just waiting for an opportunity.

And now, he thinks the opportunity has come.

"Badogglio, I heard that Mussolini has expelled you from the army?" The old king and Badoglio had the same thin face and the same upturned beard, but the old king's The beard has begun to turn white.

"Yes, Your Majesty, during the years of Mussolini's rule in Italy, nothing has improved, and Mussolini has no ability to lead our country, so I implore you to withdraw Mussolini's appointment, Looking for someone new to be our prime minister," Badoglio said.

Hearing this, the old king shook his head: "Although Mussolini has not achieved any victory in the past few years, after all, he has contributed to the kingdom, and if he resigns, many people will not be willing. "

As a king, he is the ruler of this country. From this point of view, the old king is really too embarrassed, and he has to take into account the opinions of the public.

At the beginning, it was the black shirts who were clamoring and rioting in Rome, and finally the old king had to appoint Mussolini as the prime minister and let him form a cabinet.

"But now it's different. In the past few years, Mussolini has not made any credit. In the army, everyone is still loyal to His Majesty the King, not Mussolini." Bagdoglio said: "Mussolini Rini is incapable of leading our country, and he should not continue to stay in that position! Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the army will keep Rome safe."

Bagdoglio said this, of course, is meaningful, he wanted to tell the king, everyone is still loyal to the king, that Mussolini, it's time to get out!

"So, what about foreign countries? Now, our European affairs are not up to us."

Emanuele is definitely not stupid. Of course he knows that the most important thing is the attitude of the German head of state Cyric!

In those days Hitler was a student of Mussolini. What would Germany think if he wanted to touch Mussolini? If Germany does not agree, its own conspiracy will go bankrupt in minutes, or it will drive him out of the king.

The Italian army is also scum in front of Germany.

"When I went to Germany this time, I saw Führer Cyric." Bagoglio said: "Führer Cyric was quite dissatisfied with the headstrong Mussolini, and they wanted more capable people. Come and be Prime Minister of Italy."

Badoglio would not forget the conversation between Cyric and himself at that time, Cyric patted his shoulder: "Your Excellency Marshal, Italy needs a prime minister who can lead Italy to glory, not a prime minister who can't do anything well. Party leader, I'm optimistic about you!"

Badoglio doesn't actually have much ambition. For him, it doesn't matter if he is not the prime minister or even the marshal. However, Italy can't let Mussolini's random command be badly damaged!

Moreover, what gave him even more confidence was the arrival of the Tenth Army. In name, the Tenth Army was the most powerful force in Italy, but in fact, these combat capabilities were created under the leadership of German instructors.

In other words, this army, on the surface, obeyed Rome's orders, and if something really happened, the German instructors inside gave orders, and the Italian soldiers dared not refuse to listen. This almost became a German army.

The Tenth Army is just outside Rome. As long as you raise your arms, the Tenth Army will definitely respond at the behest of Germany. Mussolini, it's time to get out.

Why does Cyric support him? The reason is actually easy to know when you think about it, because Mussolini's qualifications are too old, older than the qualifications of Hitler, Germany's first head of state.

The young Cyric would not watch Mussolini keep putting his old credentials there, and Italy didn't listen to Germany, so they needed a new agent, and the Germans chose him.

Badoglio had no choice.

In particular, after returning, Mussolini put all the responsibility for the defeat on Bagdoglio. As an old marshal, this has made him intolerable.

"So, what are we going to do with Mussolini?" the old king continued to Bagdoglio: "A seditious man like him, even if he leaves Rome, will continue to fan the flames in Italy and make our country unstable."

Then imprison him! Bagdoglio just wanted to say this, and suddenly understood what the old king meant.

In any case, Mussolini is the leader of the Italian party. Such a person cannot be directly dismissed by the king, otherwise, the German side will come to find a place for Mussolini.

exile? Inappropriate, imprisonment? It is also not suitable, the only suitable way, there is only one!

I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it when I was in Germany!

"At three o'clock this afternoon, Mussolini will come to the palace to report the latest situation." The old king said, and has already started to walk back: "I am old, and everything is starting to be confused. The future of Italy, It also depends on someone with qualifications and prestige like you."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mussolini came to the palace to report? In this case, Mussolini's route from his official residence to here is completely determined. It seems that the old king has long wanted to get rid of Mussolini!

Since this is the case, then I can only risk it myself, for the future of Italy!
