Chapter 1099 Don't Forget the Tenth Army (Plus 2)
Just relying on some intimidation can make Greece stop, which has demonstrated the strength of Germany.
The Greeks retreated to the national border. Although they won, this victory made them quite speechless, and the farce in Italy and Rome should come to an end.
In the past few days, gunshots have been fired in the city of Rome, and citizens have been hiding in their homes and dare not come out.
"If this continues, our Rome will be destroyed, at the hands of those who seize power!" In the palace, the Duke of da Aosta said to the king: "Your Majesty, we must do something to make Our country is back in order."
Emmanuel III looked at the old duke he trusted most and said, "Then what should we do?"
Restoring order, whether it is to appoint Ciano's group or Badoglio, will not satisfy the other group. Now that the battle has become public, one of them must be eliminated.
But now it seems that both groups are equally incompetent, and no one can gain the upper hand.
Ciano's guards were strong in combat, but Bagdoglio had a large number of men, and the two sides fought hard, and in order to protect the capital, they did not use heavy weapons, and street fighting was quite time-consuming.
"Beyond our city, there is also the largest military force, the Tenth Army, which we returned from Libya, is now outside the city, and they still have the most important armored force, as long as they come in, they can stabilize the order of Rome! ' said the Duke of Daosta to the king.
Yes, for the past few days, the Tenth Army has been standing still. No matter who it is, they will not listen. In the eyes of the old king, of course, they know what they are doing.
Germany has spoken, this is Italy's internal affairs, Germany has no right to interfere, and now, Rome is still in turmoil, and the people are already miserable.
"If we were to order the Tenth Army, who should we appoint as prime minister?" said Emanuele III.
"We should take back the power of the country, under the control of the king, and limit the power of the prime minister," said Duke Daosta. He is a staunch imperialist. Over the years, look at what Mussolini has tossed the country into. !
Hearing what he said, the king shook his head. His own cronies still haven't seen the current situation clearly.
The Italian army in Africa was already under the control of Germany. Why did the Tenth Army stand still and not listen to anyone's orders? Because they are waiting for orders from Germany!
Perhaps a few years ago, Garibaldi was a loyal Italian officer, but following Rommel and fighting in Africa and the Middle East for so long was enough to change his heart. In his eyes, the invincible Germany was the only He deserves allegiance.
The entire Tenth Army is such a unit, and now there are so many German instructors in the Tenth Army, who are firmly in control of the army!
Now, the Germans have set a game. Ciano's side and Bagdoglio's side will continue to fight. Whoever is weak will be supported by Germany, and Rome will be ruined and Italy will be crippled.
The only way to solve this situation is to reuse Garibaldi and make him the Prime Minister of Italy. At the same time, the entire Italian army will completely become the servants of Germany, and there is no other possibility.
What should I do myself?
Think more for the Italian people. If this continues, it will damage the interests of ordinary people. Emanuele III feels that he is getting old. Let this country be left to the Germans. Follow Germany, maybe Italy to be powerful.
Thinking of this, Emanuele III has decided to break the jar.
"I immediately wrote an edict, appointed Garibaldi as the new prime minister, and asked the Tenth Army to enter Rome to calm the turmoil in Rome. What will our capital look like." Sitting in his chair, Emanuele Sanshi spread out the edict.
Tenth Army Station.
Hiding in his own station, but claiming that he is not there to the outside world, Garibaldi just doesn't want to mix in the mess, it is possible for both sides, whoever comes to power, it is not too late for him to swear allegiance.
Garibaldi was drinking brandy and was chatting with several of his cronies and the leader of the German instructors.
General Pietro Maletti poured the wine from his glass into his stomach, and said to several other people: "What do they call fighting, they are simply fighting guerrillas. If my troops go up, they will directly use tank guns and shoot the other side. It's all smashed into scum!"
"It's our capital, and using tanks there is disrespectful to His Majesty the King," another said to him.
"Hmph, it's not His Majesty the King who can lead us to glory in Italy, it's Germany, it's Cyric!" General Pietro Maletti said carelessly.
"General Pietro Maletti, you've been drinking too much." Garibaldi said, "We didn't hear anything just now."
The Italian people, who are still loyal to the King of Italy, are now despising His Majesty.
"Marshal, General, His Majesty the King has sent someone, just outside." At this moment, a guard ran in and said.
Has His Majesty the King sent someone? Garibaldi stood up and glanced at the few people present.
"I'll avoid it first." The German instructor leader said, walking back.
The king's messenger soon came in and read the king's edict to several people.
Appoint yourself as prime minister? Garibaldi was also stunned, he was not mentally prepared for this!
After the messenger finished reading the edict, he went back, leaving a dazed crowd behind.
"Prime Minister Garibaldi, congratulations." The leader of the German instructor came out again, congratulating Garibaldi: "What are you waiting for, dispatch the army immediately, obey His Majesty's call, and enter Rome to maintain order!"
After he finished speaking, he said to Pietro Maletti next to him: "Our armored troops should be dispatched as soon as possible. How can we stabilize the order without starting the tanks? General Pietro Maletti, your credit this time is great, enough to become the new king of the kingdom. Chief of Staff!"
Let them quickly nod their heads in agreement with the words of the German instructor leader. After all, the German instructor leader's orders have always guided them forward.
The entire station took action immediately after receiving the order. Although many people were on the move, it was in an orderly manner, which was completely different from the cluttered and unorganized troops in the past.
The German instructors in the army stared at their subordinates.
Well, yes, although it is still close to the German elite, but in the Italian army, it is definitely a first-class level.
Soon, the tanks were launched.
