Chapter 252 Axis Powers
Germany conquered Austria without a single shot. This incident also made Hitler's position in the army high. Although the Prussian soldiers were quite arrogant, they also valued heroes, and Hitler undoubtedly already possessed the qualities of a hero, and Hitler had a keen sense of Strategic insight!
For the old-fashioned officers, the conquest of Austria had made the German Empire incomparably strong, but for Hitler, this was obviously not enough.
Austria, just a platform, conquered Austria, the next one is Czechoslovakia!
Just as Cyric was discussing with Hitler with great interest, how to divide up Czechoslovakia step by step, and how to stir up hatred between Poland and the Czech Republic, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
Here comes Mussolini.
For Hitler, Mussolini played an important role in his life. Mussolini was Hitler's idol and the revolutionary mentor who led Hitler to victory. At the beginning, after the failed coup d'etat in the beer hall, Hitler also brought him with him. Together with Cyric and others, they went to visit Mussolini in secret.
At that time, due to the large amount of gold bribes, Mussolini also graciously agreed to Hitler's request to sell Libya's oil exploration to Hitler.
Up to now, it seems that this is a joke. For more than ten years, nothing has been found in the Libyan desert. However, Mussolini also knew in his heart that Hitler wanted the Libyan desert in order to build a secret base. Just study something, these little actions, Mussolini can tolerate.
However, a few years ago, Mussolini and Hitler still had a little friction. When Hitler wanted to attack Austria, Mussolini expressed firm opposition and even sent troops to the border. Well, of course, it's the little things.
After that, the relationship between the two became closer again, thanks to Franco.
During the Spanish Civil War, Franco asked Italy and Germany for help, and the two countries helped Franco together. In this way, they became good brothers and good comrades-in-arms.
Moreover, during the Spanish Civil War, the Italian army suddenly discovered the strong combat effectiveness of the German army, which made them extremely envious. Therefore, in Mussolini's eyes, Hitler's status has gradually increased.
Although Mussolini still looked at Hitler from the position of mentor, there was no doubt that Hitler was already his best student.
The Spanish Civil War made Mussolini's stance lean towards Germany, and that's exactly what happened. Now that Germany and Austria have merged, Mussolini has no intention of intervening.
Just after Germany occupied Austria, why did Mussolini come to Germany so quickly?
With Cyric, Hitler cordially received Mussolini, and in the capital Berlin, after Mussolini reviewed the honor guard, he came to the conference room with great interest.
"Adolf, you are the most outstanding student I have ever met, and you have developed our career very well." Mussolini said, he still had a high mentality.
So Hitler could only nod his head: "Yes, we have held the swastika flag high and we have come to this point."
"The vertical line between Berlin and Rome is not a barrier, but an axis." Mussolini said to Hitler: "We share common ideals and common enemies, and we should cooperate closely in more aspects."
Because the two countries are on the same line of longitude, there is this saying, which is also the source of the Axis powers.
Now, Cyric understood that Mussolini saw the strength of Germany, and that Germany and Italy both had common opponents, so they wanted to combine more closely!
The combat effectiveness of the Noodle Army is obvious to all. Throughout World War II, Germany was actually fighting against the whole of Europe. However, Cyric had nothing against the alliance with Italy.
After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy! Even if the combat effectiveness of the Italian spaghetti army can only be used for fun, it can also contain some enemy troops.
Therefore, Cyric remained silent, watching the excited Hitler, and began to discuss the specific content with Mussolini, how to further cooperate, Hitler was very happy with the word axis.
No matter how bad Italy is, Hitler's admiration for Mussolini will not change. This is a great enough friendship in World War II, so great that when Mussolini was imprisoned, Hitler dispatched special forces to send Mussolini Solini was rescued.
There is nothing wrong with forming an alliance with Italy, but if Italy pulls Japan in again, be careful!
The group of dwarfs in the island country are all arrogant guys. In World War II, Germany was defeated, and there are reasons why they were led into the ditch by the island country.
Originally, according to Hitler's ideas, he very much hoped that when attacking the Soviet Union, the island countries could attack from the east and attack the Soviet Union from both sides. Unfortunately, the island people were afraid of being beaten during the Battle of Nomenkan, and they refused to live or die, so they had to launch an attack on the United States. There was a sneak attack in Hawaii.
As a result, the war giant of the United States was pulled in!
Throughout World War II, the United States had the strongest strength, and its industrial base was quite terrifying. Aircraft carriers could be made like dumplings, dozens or hundreds of them!
At that time, Hitler could not save face because he was an ally, and as a result declared war on the United States, which allowed Roosevelt to persuade the Congress and began to directly intervene in the European battlefield, and began to provide a lot of support to the Soviet Union!
Without the aid of the United States, the Soviet Union would not necessarily have won the Great Patriotic War!
Unconsciously, Cyric lost his mind. When Cyric regained his senses, he found Mussolini and Hitler, both of whom were looking at him!
"Cyric, are you willing to continue to return to Spain and command the most arduous battle in Madrid? The victory of the Spanish Civil War is just one step away." Hitler said again when he saw that Cyric had not responded.
This time, Mussolini came to Berlin, in addition to a series of further friendly agreements such as the formation of the Axis powers, another thing was to urge the Germans to hurry up!
Since the war has been fought, Italy has spent a lot of money, and it has long wanted to end the war as soon as possible! However, the battle in Madrid, which has been fought for so long, is still fierce, and there is no sign of an end in sight.
It's time to find someone stronger, this person, of course, is Cyric!
Cyric was originally the commander of the Condor Legion. When he was there, the Condor Legion went ahead and created miracles one by one. But now, the Condor Legion is slumped again. Mussolini very much hopes that Cyric will hurry up. Come on, let Italy pull out!
