Although Chen Dao is young, he is an out-and-out heavyweight. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|

Not to mention other identities, the identity of the brother-in-law of Marshal Goering, the number two German person, was enough to make Marshal Graziani look at him differently.

A grand reception ceremony is naturally indispensable, and as soon as the participants from Germany and Italy appeared, Chen Dao found that the two sides could be said to be distinct, at least from the outside.

On the German side, the new commander of the 7th Panzer Division, Major General Funk, the commander of the Greater German Motorized Rifle Regiment, Colonel Starkhausen, and even a number of military commanders, including the commander of the Afrika Army, Rommel, all had the same image as Mandolfel, and the military uniform on his body was also stained with a layer of light dust, except for Chen Dao.

On the Italian side, on the other hand, the senior officers led by Marshal Graziani wore neat and neat military uniforms, the medals on their bodies were shining, and their faces were even more glamorous.

Chen Dao approached them, and a pungent smell of perfume hit his face, making his nose itch.

Chen Dao rubbed his nose to dispel the urge to sneeze, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that as soon as the negotiations with Marshal Graziani were over, he would move to the barracks outside Tobruk to share the weal and woe with the soldiers.

Whether in the East or in the West, the wine table is always a place that can quickly bring people closer together.

Between Chen Dao and Marshal Graziani, one wanted to deliberately win over, and the other was intentionally befriended, and the two frequently raised their glasses, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet one after another.

Two glasses of belly, I didn't count at first, I drank three rounds, became a relative, drank to a catty, and was closer than my own brother is the true portrayal between Chen Dao and Marshal Graziani.

At the end of the banquet, Chen Dao and Marshal Graziani, who had become long-lost friends, were staggered back to their respective quarters by their respective men, and reluctantly agreed to drink another day before leaving.

At 8:30 a.m. the next morning, Chen Dao, who had been woken up by the alarm clock, crawled out of bed in Tobruk's hotel room with a smell of alcohol. It took half an hour to wash up and rush out of the hotel. He drove with his men to the garrison of the Herman Goering Division outside Tobruk.

After inspecting the troops for a day and having lunch with a group of old subordinates such as Mandolfer and Lieutenant Colonel Schumacher, Chen Dao returned to the hotel where he was staying before dark.

After entering the luxurious suite of the hotel, Chen Dao really saw the person he was looking for, Remtsma, a member of the board of directors of the Solon Group.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two immediately discussed in secret for a while, and then drove to Marshal Graziani's headquarters in the south of Tobruk.

After identifying themselves, Chen Dao and Remtsma were immediately ushered into the office of Marshal Graziani.

"Dear General Rosen. I didn't expect you and Mr. Remtsma to be good friends, which was really beyond my expectations. Marshal Graziani smiled and handed each of them a cigar.

Remtsma took out a lighter and lit a cigar for Chen Daohe himself, took two puffs and said, "Mr. Marshal." Allow me to solemnly introduce to you, Heinz. Feng. Mr. Rosen. Chairman of Solon Investment Co., Ltd., as for who I am, you know, I am only a member of the board of directors and general manager of Solo Corporation. ”

Marshal Graziani glared at Chen Dao and Remtsma with a cigar in his right hand, and he stammered for a long time without speaking.

As early as the end of June, Mussolini ordered Italian troops stationed in Libya to attack Egypt in order to fulfill his dream of rebuilding the Roman Empire.

Marshal Balbo, who was still alive at the time, knew that the Libyan garrison was vulnerable to combat, so he delayed it again and again, citing the lack of sufficient equipment. Until in July, he suspiciously died under anti-aircraft fire from his own people.

Marshal Graziani took over the post of Marshal Balbo. At the same time, it also took on the pressure exerted by Mussolini on the Libyan garrison to attack the British army in Egypt.

Just as Marshal Graziani was racking his brains about how to deal with Mussolini, Mr. Remtsma from Germany came to the fore.

Under the presentation of the German Ambassador to Italy Streicher. Remtsma quickly became Graziani's guest of honor.

After the two got acquainted, Remtsma showed that Germany urgently needed to seize the Suez Canal to weaken Britain's ability to control overseas colonies, but Mussolini wanted to swallow the Mediterranean alone, and the German ** team was not allowed to borrow the road. He hoped that Marshal Graziani would help blow the wind in his ears in front of Mussolini, and promised that he would be grateful when the deed was accomplished.

Graziani was so excited that he said that he was having a headache about the attack on Egypt, and the Germans sent him a special medicine for the headache.

Marshal Graziani, with the idea of letting the Germans die, immediately hit it off with Remtsma, and then began to lobby Mussolini and successfully persuaded Mussolini to allow German troops to enter Libya.

Marshal Graziani's efforts were not in vain, and on 2 August his grandson Graziani the Younger married his beautiful bride in a "newly-bought" luxury villa outside Milan, to which the generous Monsieur Remtsma was also a special guest.

Graziani smiled as he reflected on his past with Remtsma.

"General Rosen, your identity is really a big surprise to me."

"Mr. Marshal, don't call me General Rosen, that's too rusty, just call me Heinz, can I get this honor?" Chen Dao said.

"Well, Heinz, what is the purpose of you and Mr. Remtzma coming here today? It won't just tell me who you are as chairman of Sauron, will you? ”

"I'm here to see you as the chairman of the Sauron Company, of course, to talk to you about business, a big business." Chen Dao said.

"How big a business? Why look for me, and no one else. Graziani asked, confused.

Chen Dao replied unquestioned: "As far as I know, Mr. Marshal is fifty-eight years old this year, and he will retire in a few years, don't you want to earn some more rich assets for your family before you retire?" Don't you want to receive an honor that will go down in history before you retire? ”

Graziani's eyes flashed with greed, and after taking two puffs of his cigar, he regained his composure.

"Heinz, you might as well talk about the details and see if we can reach a consensus?"

"The honor I am talking about is easy to understand, as the conqueror of Egypt, your great name will surely leave a mark on the history of Italy, and of course, the troops I lead will also support you in the background, so that your personal reputation will reach its peak in the war against Egypt."

Graziani said lightly: "I'm old, I don't care much about these false names, I am more concerned about some practical problems. ”

Chen Dao suddenly asked, "Mr. Marshal, do you know about the naval battle that took place on September 11?" ”

"We managed to ambush the Mediterranean Fleet and achieved a major victory, what does this have to do with the business we are going to talk about?"

"It's very big, do you know how we learned about the movements of the Mediterranean fleet?"

Graziani shook his head.

"Because we have spies within the British government, and he is the one who tells us about the movements of the Mediterranean fleet."

Marshal Graziani's eyes lit up.

"You mean the spy also sent back some intelligence about Egypt?"

Chen Dao nodded heavily, and then said to Graziani: "007 has sent back a lot of information about Egypt, and I think the most important one is about Egypt's oil reserves. ”

Chen Dao raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers to Graziani.

"Five billion tons, Egypt's oil reserves are five billion tons. You think about what a fortune this is, and if we can set up an oil company to extract this oil, that's what I'm here for you. ”

"007 is the spy's code name? Is his message reliable? Graziani asked.

Chen Dao nodded and said: "Absolutely reliable, if you think about the Battle of 911, the movements of the Mediterranean Fleet were notified to us by 007." ”

"Where is the place of five billion tons in Egypt?" Graziani then asked.

Chen Dao smiled at Graziani and did not speak.

Graziani's face flushed suddenly, and he knew that he had asked a very stupid question, and then he immediately asked, "Why me?" ”

"The reason is simple, you are the commander-in-chief of the Italian garrison in North Africa, and in the future when we occupy Egypt, the Egyptian garrison will also be led by you. With your backing, our operations in Egypt will be unimpeded. ”

Graziani folded his arms in thought.

"You're not afraid that I'll monopolize that oil by myself after I occupy Egypt?"

"Since I dare to come to you, of course I believe that you are a person who keeps his promises." Chen Dao said.

"The Italian friends I know are all very trustworthy people, such as Mr. Ziano, General Garibaldi, and of course Mr. Marshal, you are the most committed person, so we give priority to working with you." Remtsma said with a smile.

The muscles on Graziani's face jumped unnaturally a few times, and the implication of Remtsma's words was obvious, if they didn't cooperate, they could always leave themselves behind and go to Ziano and the others to cooperate.

After pondering again for a while, Graziani suddenly raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers.

"I want 50 percent of the proceeds." (To be continued.) (lwxs52０。 om))
