Chapter 724 Generosity to Allies
Paris, it is raining lightly.
When the plane landed at the Paris airport, Mussolini looked at the welcoming line outside, consisting of only a few German diplomats.
As the actual ruler of Italy, coming to meet in Cyric was originally a big event, but now, it seems that the German ceremony is not so grand.
At least the Minister of Foreign Affairs has to welcome him, right?
Thinking of this, Mussolini was even more unhappy. He got off the plane and saw the German personnel who came to greet him. Without saying a word, he got into the car.
The light rain outside the car window made Mussolini always have a faint sadness in his heart.
Originally, Mussolini was the most dazzling figure in the whole of Europe. When he carried out the revolution in Italy, Hitler and Cyric were still his students!
Recalling the time when Hitler and Cyric went to see him, when he was still on top.
But what about now?
Throughout Europe, Germany has always been in the limelight, and now, Germany has conquered the European continent!
Germany's powerful Bingfeng pointed directly at the United Kingdom. After the United Kingdom was defeated, Cyric also established an extraordinary feat!
And what is Italy doing?
They want to do something big in North Africa, and the result? They were beaten back by the British in disgrace. They wanted to attack France from the south when France was about to fail, and as a result, they were beaten back by France.
In this war, Italy is simply playing the role of soy sauce.
No achievements!
"Party leader, here we are." A voice came from his ear, and Mussolini saw a manor in front of him. Sure enough, Cyric did not set up his palace in a palace in Paris, but here, the largest keep it a secret.
Mussolini got out of the car and walked in step by step. Until now, his heart was still full of anger. Even if he didn't go to the airport to meet him, he was already at the door. It was always alright to stand at the door to meet him. ?
No, there was no one at the gate, just tall and handsome soldiers of the SS standing guard.
Where is Cyric?
Soon, Mussolini had the answer.
There was a voice from the conference room: "We can't delay any longer. Within this week, we must cross the strait and land on the British mainland!"
Germany's current front is very long. It is not so easy for them to cross the English Channel. Cyric must be presiding over a military meeting. No wonder he did not greet him.
Thinking of this, Mussolini was relieved. In fact, he didn't think that it was him who was just looking for a step for himself.
"Party leader, are you here?" Seeing Mussolini standing at the door, Cyric put down the command pole in his hand and walked over to meet Mussolini: "I'm sorry, the military is busy and I can't go to meet him in person. "
"It doesn't matter." Mussolini said: "Now, it is important to command the battle. It seems that the British war is already on the line."
Mussolini's eyes were also looking at the arrows above, and those arrows were all pointing to Dover.
It seems that, as rumored, Germany will start from Calais, cross the narrowest English Channel, and head towards the opposite side of Britain.
Suddenly, Mussolini's eyes widened. This large-scale map not only indicated the European battlefield, but also the North African battlefield!
Looking at that long front, Mussolini couldn't believe his eyes, Germany's appetite was really great! The whole Middle East will be occupied by Germany!
Wait, what about Italy?
Thinking of this, Mussolini couldn't help but speak: "Führer Cyric, I am here this time mainly for the issue of the command of the army on the North African battlefield."
As soon as Rommel went to North Africa, he just caught up with the plane crash of the Italian commander-in-chief of North Africa. As a result, the Italian army in North Africa could only temporarily listen to Rommel's command and move forward together.
This made Mussolini quite unhappy. After all, in Mussolini's eyes, Egypt should be the fat of Italy, but Germany can't be cheap!
"Command in North Africa?" Hearing Mussolini's words, Cyric repeated it as if he had never considered it: "Does it need to be said? Of course, General Rommel will command the entire North African army. , isn't this what we have reached an agreement on?"
Hearing this, Mussolini was stunned. When did he agree?
At first, according to the agreement, the Germans fought in the west and the Italian army in the east. Since then, the Germans have been fighting Germany, ignoring the French colonies in the west. As a result, now that France has surrendered, Germany does not need to fight, and those colonies are considered conquests. .
However, in the east, the Italian army suffered a defeat, so he asked Germany to send troops to the North African battlefield to help fight the British army.
At that time, he didn't say that he wanted a German general to be the commander-in-chief?
"Is it possible to beat the British army with an army like Italy?" At this moment, among the German generals below, I don't know who made such a voice.
Mussolini blushed when he heard this.
In the eyes of German generals, is the Italian army really that bad?
Mussolini wanted to fight back, but he didn't know what to say. Thinking about the past few years, there were really no good examples to come up with, but he would never give up after being humiliated like this.
"The combat effectiveness of the Italian army is a bit poor, but I believe that with the help of our German instructors, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army can be rapidly improved to the same level as ours." At this moment, Cyric speak.
When he heard this sentence, Mussolini's mind suddenly went into a trance.
German instructor? Let the Germans come to be instructors for their own troops? Is this appropriate? Will it allow Germany to take control of the Italian army?
However, the second half of the speech made Mussolini's heart warm again.
At the same level as the German army, now, throughout the European continent, the combat effectiveness of the German army is recognized. France, known as the first power in Europe, surrendered within a few days!
If it achieves the same combat power as Germany, then the Italian army will be able to traverse the world!
"We have always been generous to our allies," Cyric said. "We sincerely hope that the Italian army can fight alongside us, not hold us back."
For Italy, Germany is really good enough. Italy has been procrastinating, and when France is about to be killed, it can be regarded as declaring war on France, but it is beaten by the French.
However, when France surrendered after the war, the Germans still generously asked for France to cede part of their southeastern territories to Italy as war reparations!
The Italian navy did not do much. As a result, after the war, they gained control of the entire eastern Mediterranean Sea, and they fought with the French navy for so long without getting any benefits. As a result, Germany generously won enough benefits for Italy.
Germany is generous to its allies.
