Chapter 1097 Roman Unrest

Mussolini's greatest military force was the Black Shirt Army, and in addition to the Black Shirt Army, Mussolini also had his personal guard, code-named "The Leader's Musketeer." (It is also called the Italian Gendarmerie)

This is Mussolini's personal guard. Eight thousand people were selected from the armed forces of the country. After layers of screening, only four thousand remained.

It can be said that the title of the Italian army's noodle army is a general army, and the current Mussolini's guard is definitely a steel army.

They only obeyed the orders of Mussolini alone, and no one had the right to mobilize them, and now, for the benefit of the entire party, Ciano himself came to the guard's quarters.

"Our leader has been assassinated." Ciano said to the brigade commander Cannavaro of the guards: "Now, we are at the most dangerous moment, and now I ask the guards to obey my orders and protect Rome together. stability."

As Mussolini's son-in-law, Ciano and Cannavaro have a pretty good relationship. At this juncture, he must win Cannavaro's support.

At the same time, Ciano also knew that although this troop was powerful in combat, their loyalty was not that high. To impress them, they could not rely on their loyalty to the leader, but on enough interests.

"When this incident is over, the army will undergo a purification." Ciano said: "Cannavaro, you will become the chief of staff of our Italian army."

Mussolini had already designated Garibaldi, but at this most critical time, Garibaldi was not there, making the powerful Tenth Army unable to be mobilized. When this matter passes, Garibaldi will definitely not be moderated. It is reassuring that Cannavaro is chief of staff.

Sure enough, Cannavaro was tempted.

"What are we going to do?"

"Set up sentries in the city of Rome, put a martial law on the city, and arrest Bagdoglio and his accomplices." Ciano thought for a while, and continued to add: "Protect the safety of the king."

"Okay, then we'll be dispatched immediately to avenge the party leader!" Cannavaro said.

Assemble, go!

Soon, the leader's musketeers started out from the troop station. In their hands, they were holding a German-made submachine gun. This is the most elite troop!

Ciano originally planned to act with Cannavaro, but when he came out with the troops, he was blown by the cool wind outside, and his mind suddenly became clear.

At this time, it is not him, nor Bagdoglio, nor even the King of Italy who can decide the whole situation in Italy. It is Germany and Cyric who can really decide the fate of Italy!

"Quick, take me to the German embassy!" Ciano said to his driver.

be quick!

Italian Royal Palace.

Emanuele III paced back and forth, occasionally looking up at the map on the wall.

The western part of Europe has all been planted with swastikas, Rome, and Berlin are on a warp coil, belonging to the axis, but now, Germany has taken action against Mussolini.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the current chaos in the city of Rome is the result of the secret instigation of the Germans. The Germans want to find a suitable agent in Italy again.

Mussolini's qualifications are too old, such an old guy will not die well, and Cyric is not a good stubble. As for Badoglio, I am afraid it will not end well. He actually listened to the words of the Germans and came back to provoke this conflict.

Bagdoglio's biggest shortcoming is that he is not a party member! Look at the countries that Germany controls now, which one is not governed by the Workers' Party? The Germans are not at ease with a nonpartisan person like Badoglio.

In the eyes of Emmanuel III, with vicissitudes, the Kingdom of Italy belongs to him, but now, as he sees the chaos in Rome, he must stay out of it!

At this time, no matter what he did, it was wrong. All he had to do was watch silently, see who came out victorious in the end, and then come and pay himself allegiance, appoint him Prime Minister himself, and that's it.

Emanuele III felt a little sad.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Badoglio was ambushed by the leader's musketeers and was seriously wounded."

"The musketeers of the leader have taken control of the northern part of the city of Rome, and the Roman garrison has taken control of the southern part of the city of Rome, and the two sides are at war."

The gunshots outside were not very loud, and these troops who exchanged fire deliberately avoided the palace so as not to disturb the king.

Emanuele III did not speak, he knew that this result was what the one in Berlin wanted most.

However, when he looked at the other corner of the map, he was still stunned in his heart. Rome was in chaos, and Italy's top levels were in turmoil. At this time, Italy was still invaded by foreign enemies!

The Greeks will not miss this opportunity!

When they learned that Rome was in chaos, Greece was the most excited. Their army almost drove the Italian army in Albania into the sea. At the same time, they were swarming ships everywhere, preparing to cross the sea and teach them a lesson. Teach the Italians a lesson, no matter whether they can gnaw the next piece of land or not, let the war burn on the mainland of Italy!

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Mediterranean, calm.

The absence of wind is not good news for ships sailing at sea, and deck crews are busy on the flat-deck Goethe-class aircraft carrier.

After Germany completely occupied the Mediterranean Sea, and when Rommel continued to develop in the Middle East, the Mediterranean route became one of the busiest routes in Germany. Therefore, German escort aircraft carriers often operate in this generation to undertake their own cargo ships. Escort mission.

"Prepare to eject." In the middle of the deck, the front landing gear of a FW190 fighter hooked the piston of the catapult, and the power of the engine was turned to the maximum. was ejected easily.

Although it is a fighter jet, there is a bomb hanging under the belly. This FW190 is already a fighter jet of the Naval Air Force. For a small Goethe-class aircraft carrier, it is only equipped with this kind of aircraft, which can facilitate maintenance and other operations. .

Due to the low speed of the Goethe-class aircraft carrier, if you want to take off, you must use a catapult. Germany has been investing in the development of aircraft carrier catapults. In addition to the old hydraulic catapult, this steam catapult is also Trying to enter service state has already begun, and even a boiler has been added to this Goethe-class aircraft carrier to provide steam pressure.

The pilot pulled the control stick, and the fighter quickly climbed after takeoff and flew in the direction of Greece.

Behind him, planes ejected one after another, and soon, dozens of planes flew to Greece in formation.
