After much discussion, Ziano Jr. was ultimately unable to get Mussolini to lower his demands. This makes Italy a shameless idler: he doesn't do anything, but he demands the best in return. What embarrassed little Ziano even more was that these conditions required him to propose to Hitler and become this villain. And who made him the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy and the son-in-law of Mussolini? Now that Mussolini still wants to preserve his last dignity in front of Hitler, then whether it is public or private, it can only be little Ziano to be this white face!

In the nervous or depressed mood of Mussolinion and his son-in-law, the luxury train traveled thousands of miles and finally slowly drove into the Munich train station. I saw German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop personally leading the team to greet him on the platform, and that warm and friendly attitude made Mussolini, who was originally apprehensive, a little flattered. When they drove to a villa on the outskirts of the city, Mussolini had the illusion of going back in time: it was in this mansion that he had acted as a mediator to facilitate the signing of the Munich Agreement between Britain, France and Germany, which was the pinnacle of his political career.

Mussolini's heart was stirred and he had some hope for the upcoming meeting. It seems that Germany still has to rely on Italy as an ally, and Hitler has not forgotten his favor. In a few moments, Hitler's figure appeared at the door of the parlor, and Ribbentrop leaned forward like a dog's leg to raise his hand to say hello. Looking at the oncoming German Führer, Mussolini's pupils suddenly contracted, although the face of the person in front of him was no different from 2 years ago, but the majestic and heavy temperament was suppressive, making him faintly breathless!

A few steps away, little Ziano's eyes were also filled with consternation and shock. Suddenly, Hitler standing in front of him seemed to be an emperor, and although there were no targeted words and deeds, he still felt intimidated and awe-inspiring, and could not give birth to any thoughts of confrontation. Little Ziano knew that this was the aura that would inevitably accompany the ruler after the authority of the ruler was greatly enhanced, but he never expected that Hitler's coronation would come so dazzling and fast!

"Yes, Germany has swept Poland and Northern Europe one after another, and now even Britain and France are about to become prisoners, and Hitler is already the second Napoleonic emperor...... No, he was stronger than Napoleon! Little Ziano whispered in his heart that he no longer had any contempt for Hitler and the country he ruled. After a while, he suddenly thought of something, and his face gradually became bitter - he was afraid that it would be difficult to get what he could not get on the battlefield during his visit to Germany.

Ziano Jr.'s hunch was not wrong. After the pleasantries, Hitler went straight to the point, and although he spoke at a gentle pace without any pyrotechnics, what he said was not at all a consultation with the Italians, but an informative agreement. Hitler informed his allies that in order to prevent the French government from fleeing to North Africa or London to continue the war, the war would be prolonged, and that both the armistice demands and the peace treaty to be signed in the future must be moderate. France needed to maintain a government capable of exercising its powers at home so that its fleet would not get out of control and be used as a lifesaver by the starving British.

As for Britain, which was denounced by the German propaganda machine as a "sower of hatred," "an executioner of the peoples of the world," and a "vicious pirate," Hitler showed an extremely rare tolerance. He claimed that as long as Britain recognized the defeat of the war and Germany's European supremacy, and gave Germany adequate compensation for its overseas colonies, then London would be immediately at peace. Even Britain did not even have to sign an arms limitation treaty with Germany, as long as the former wanted to, it could still pursue the glory of the world empire after the war.

Hearing Hitler's words, little Ziano's eyes once again showed a look of extreme surprise. In the face of Britain and France, which were almost on the chopping block, Hitler chose to take the initiative to take a step back and make peace with them decently! If Germany had worked hard to win the current situation, it would be fine, after all, a tired country can no longer withstand the wear and tear of a long war, and it would be nice to be able to end this hellish torture soon. Today, however, Germany has won epic victories one after another, and its brilliant successes, which are as swift as lightning meteors, have shocked the whole world and made the whole world tremble at the great feats of the German nation!

According to preliminary estimates by the Italian military, the Germans lost only about 250,000 soldiers in total during the 10-month war in Europe. While this figure is heart-wrenching enough in peacetime, it is hardly worth mentioning in the vastness of the national war - considering that the German army suffered 250,000 casualties or missing in the Battle of the Marne, and this was only one of a dozen large-scale battles waged by both sides during the four long years of fierce fighting on the Western Front. Compared with the old empire of Wilhelm II, the size and heritage of today's Germany, the "Great Germany", have obviously far surpassed their predecessors, and Germany can fight at least 20 more wars like the current one!

Therefore, it is not said that the present war should be prolonged, that is, to seize by force all the colonies of Britain and France in the world, and the German people can fully bear it, and will devote itself with infinite enthusiasm. After all, this is a righteous revenge against a long-cherished revenge that has been accumulated for more than 20 years, and I am afraid that no one will retreat!

But Hitler took this step back. At a time when the whole of Germany was cheering for its successive great victories, Hitler did not indulge in the earth-shattering power of his extreme divine weapon! The former corporal, who came from the grassroots, remained unbelievably sober: he knew that ending the war now would be the best outcome for Germany, and that the weak and female Britain and France would give Germany everything it needed at the moment, without causing the entire world order to collapse and give other countries a chance. For this reason, he would rather give up the intoxication and honor that comes with using this power, but also be pragmatic and grasp the benefits that can be obtained firmly in the palm of his hand.

Rao is an aristocratic little Ziano has always looked down on Hitler, who was crowned by the monkey, but at this moment, seeing Hitler's cautious and shrewd performance, he still can't help but admire. Now Hitler is like a gambling god who continues to draw himself and has good luck, but he can calmly get up after a round and announce that he will accept it when he sees it. This calmness and self-control are absolutely beyond the reach of a human being, and little Ziano asked himself if he was in this position, he would never be able to maintain such sanity and sobriety.

Thinking of this, little Ziano glanced at Mussolini beside him, his father-in-law was more than a star and a half worse than the German Führer in front of him, both in talent and temperament.

In this case, Mussolini's attempt to brazenly snatch food from Hitler's bowl naturally fell through without suspense.

Despite the whispering of almost pleading, Hitler flatly rejected Italy's demands to occupy Marseilles, Toulon, and other places, saying that the basic decency of post-war France must be preserved. Mussolini did not even gain the right to attend the armistice negotiations, which Hitler had decided to use to wash away Germany's humiliation, and naturally would not allow the belated ally to act as a third party and share the victory with him. Of course, in order to appease the Italians, Hitler expressed his willingness to support the signing of a separate armistice between Italy and France, and until this agreement came into force, the fighting between Germany and France would not stop.

Seeing that Hitler was unexpectedly arrogant and heroic, but gentle and quiet more than before, Mussolini, who could not find any breakthrough, had to leave in discouragement after a period of awkward conversation. He realizes that he is a second-rate character in the truest sense of the word, and that as peace approaches, he will no longer be able to achieve his lifelong dream: glory on the battlefield. From now on, the political core of the world fascist movement will also quietly change hands. Mussolini, the inactive founder, will be forgotten, and only Hitler will be the spiritual leader who hangs high in the sky.

"My Lord, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, has arrived at the official office and asked to meet you."

No sooner had Hitler seen off Mussolini on the platform than the adjutant Ringer came running up to him and reported to him. Hitler raised an eyebrow, a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth. Raeder was so anxious to chase Munich to meet him, so you could understand with your toes that his intention must have come for the French fleet. At present, the German Navy only has the number of aircraft carriers to meet the demand, and other auxiliary ships are still scarce to a considerable extent, while the French Navy has more than 100 active first-line ships, which is enough for the German Navy to lay a solid basic lineup.

"French fleet...... Hitler whispered in his heart, his gaze gradually becoming deep and solemn. According to his original plan, this force would be completely reserved to the French as the sincerity of the German armistice: anyway, after the war, France could no longer afford to support such a large fleet, and in a few years it would dismantle most of this fleet by itself, and in the end the remaining scale was far from being able to compete with Germany and Italy.

However, it seems that it is also possible to consider salvaging a number of ships from the French fleet for their own needs now. You must know that even destroyers can take one and a half years to build, and if Britain is stubborn, or if the situation changes and the navy needs to continue fighting, this ready-made force is an excellent help.

After a moment of silence, Hitler decided to explore Raeder's appetite first. If conditions permitted, it would not be a matter for the French Navy to suffer part of the pain of the German High Seas Fleet. Thinking of this, Hitler couldn't help but sigh at Raeder's petty family: if Britain and France surrendered smoothly, Germany, which had reaped massive war dividends, would inevitably be able to restart Plan Z.
