Chapter 241: The Italians on the Battlefield
At the beginning of World War II, during the war preparations, the Italians made a lot of jokes.
The first is poor combat effectiveness.
In the First World War, the British army had such a record, 25 people, surrounded 10,000 Italian troops, and captured 8,000 people.
The Italian army of 5,000 men encountered a company of British troops, set up a barricade in front, and 5,000 men surrendered on the spot.
During World War II, Italy was mainly responsible for the African theater.
But he carries extremely advanced weapons, strong ships and artillery, and occupies absolute airspace.
But even Ethiopia did not win.
The reason was that the Italian commander was convinced that if he slept, the enemy would also sleep, so he would not be attacked.
In this regard, it has suffered a lot.
At one time, they were beaten by the Ethiopian guerrillas and did not dare to leave the barracks, and even the indigenous people of Africa dared to sneak into the Italian barracks with javelins.
Such a thing as suppressing bandits, fierce ground warfare, does not exist for the Italians.
In such a situation, the Italians will simply choose to surrender, without the slightest psychological burden.
In a battle in North Africa, the British army came to the aid, and the few British tanks charged the Italian anti-tank gun positions, and at first, the Italians returned fire, but the whole battle lasted only two or three minutes before it suddenly stopped.
After a while, an Italian reorganization division on the opposite side waved a white flag and surrendered.
The British are incredible.
You must know that there are more than 20,000 people in one reorganization.
When receiving prisoners of war from the integrated division, the British commander found that the Italians still had boxes and boxes of ammunition, and asked them for specific reasons.
There was no crowbar, and the ammunition box could not be opened.
After the prisoners were captured, because there were too many prisoners of war, the British army did not have time to build a prisoner of war camp, so they only asked the quartermaster to issue raw materials to the Italian prisoners of war, and let them build a prisoner of war camp by themselves and lock themselves up.
Rommel found a British prisoner of war camp where Italian prisoners of war were being held, and came to the rescue out of comradeship, only to have the Italians run after the British as soon as the shots rang out......
Also in the North African battlefield, the United States people also had a glorious record of 287 people encircling an integrated Italian division, the 22nd Army, and the 64th Constantaro Infantry Division.
In desperation, the Italians appealed to the Germans for help.
The Germans only sent three tanks over and drove the Mi army back.
The victory was supposed to extend the victory, but the Italians were convinced that there would be an ambush, so they let the Mi army run away with 274 men and only capture 1.
On another occasion, the Germans were in the middle of the desert and received a request for relief from Italy, claiming to be trapped in the desert and requesting that they be airdropped.
The German commander could not position himself in the desert, and the airdrop would definitely not work, so he sent a squadron of troops to the rescue.
The squadron got lost in the desert and almost died of thirst and starvation in the desert.
Thankfully, the Italians were still waiting for help.
When I found it, I found that the other party was boiling pasta with precious water.
In World War II, Italy committed a total of 500,000 troops to the African theater.
But it was chased by the British team, 50,000 people, who were themselves five scum of the war, and the British happily threw themselves into the North African battlefield, and the German army was already very defeated and retreated in the Sulian battlefield, but had to divide their forces to support Italy.
In the end, with the support of the Anglo-American coalition, it failed.
Hitler once commented that Murtori was stupid, and that 100,000 Italians needed 500,000 Germans to protect them.
Pig-like teammates have seriously slowed down the pace of the Axis powers.
Another point is reflected in eating.
As we all know, Italy is the most particular country in Europe to eat and wear.
After the German army blitzkrieg attacked Poland, the Barbarossa plan was launched, and the German army mobilized 5.5 million troops alone, more than 3 million troops, and all military science and technology were preparing for strengthening the fighting machine.
As for the Italians, they did not prepare ammunition, and as soon as they received the mobilization order for the war, the Ministry of Justice used emergency plans to purchase 30 million tons of red wine from all over the world, on the grounds that they would not be afraid to fight if they were drunk.
Among the supplies captured by the enemy, there was more wine than ammunition.
Don't fight when you eat.
In the process of urgent preparations, he made every effort to develop marching food, making the quality of military food for the Italians the first in the world, and inventing countless patents.
When the army was deployed, they were surprised to find that they were busy preparing food, and most of the planes were not equipped with radios.
And it's true.
Italy, as a client state, originally had the mentality of playing soy sauce, trying to fish in troubled waters, wanting to reap enough benefits, but unwilling to make sacrifices.
I don't want to deepen the conflict with the British team.
In a word, surrender at any time.
But the sloppiness of the Italians and the rigor of the Germans, indeed, are well known.
......
The next level of talk is relatively broad.
And Fan Yang also basically figured out some concepts of this trade.
As far as the Department of Foreign Economic Cooperation is concerned, it wants to take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously promote light industrial products and expand export channels, focusing on ketchup and unifying various products of enterprises.
As the mediator, the most important thing for Fan Yang is to figure out the wishes of both parties.
The purpose is achieved.
Fan Yang took his leave.
Duan Zhengxing, Lu Zhengshan and others brought in the meeting room drank tea all morning.
Deputy Director Xiong arranged for a car to take them back to the district party committee guest house.
As soon as he got out of the car, Fan Yang couldn't help it.
Clenched his fist fiercely.
Connections determine the level.
I didn't expect that.
After getting acquainted with two Britons, the company was raised from the lowest trading company to the level of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation in just two months after its opening.
Holding Shang Fang's sword, mobilizing all resources, and talking with senior officials of ministries and commissions, this sense of accomplishment made Fan Yang unable to extricate himself.
Seeing Fan Yang's excited face, Duan Zhengxing asked, "Mr. Fan, what did you talk about?"
"This trade, the idea of the district committee, I have roughly figured out, mainly to promote ketchup, as well as their handmade products, and then it depends on Brian. ”
"Tomato sauce, what is this?" Duan Zhengxing asked.
"I know. Wenwen next to her raised her hand: "Is it the one that dips in the french fries? ”
KFC only entered the Chinese market in 1986.
At present, it is still high-end food, fashionable food, ordinary salary-earners, the family is frugal, and it can be eaten once a month for half a day.
The two girls have eaten it, but Duan Zhengxing and Lu Zhengshan don't know what it is.
"This is a fist product, very targeted, Chinese do not eat this, but Western countries have great demand, a long time ago, it was exported to Eros and Eastern Europe, but the situation of ketchup here, I don't know much, focus on investigating this." ”
Duan Zhengxing thought for a moment: "That's mainly for exporting to those countries?"
"Western Europe. ”
