Chapter 508: Mussolini and his Prasca

As we all know, the history of Poland is tragic, since the founding of the country, a total of three times since the founding of the country, but throughout Europe, there are more tragic than it - Albania, for example.

Albania was first destroyed in 167 BC, when the Roman Republic occupied the entire territory of Albania, and since then Albania's history of suffering has begun.

After the 9th century, the Byzantine Empire, the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Kingdom of Serbia, and the Venetian Empire ruled Albania in turn. In 1385 the Turkish Ottoman Empire invaded Albania militarily, but was unable to defeat it. In 1415 the Turks made a comeback, this time Albania failed to withstand the Turkish onslaught, and the country remained under Turkish rule for 500 years.

During these 500 years, the Albanian people staged many uprisings, but they were suppressed by the Turkish rulers, until January 1912, when the Albanian Liberation Organization took advantage of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire's parliament and the election of new members, launched another uprising, and at the same time, several Balkan countries that had just been liberated from Turkey formed a Balkan anti-Turkish alliance. In October, the Balkan Anti-Turkish Alliance declared war on Turkey, and the coalition forces beat the Turkish army along the way, forcing it back to Edirne, Ioannina, and Shkodrë.

On May 30, 1913, the Treaty of London was signed, and Albania finally gained the coveted and nominal independence, although it remained more or less under the control of Britain, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

A year later, World War I broke out, and Albania, which had just become independent, was drawn into what it claimed to be "the war that would end all wars", and the armies of Austria-Hungary, Italy, and France soon occupied the poor country, and it was once again destroyed.

Fortunately, the war did not last long, and in 1920, Albania once again declared its independence.

Although the situation in Albania was very turbulent since then, and various forces fought each other for the control of the government, the name "Albania" was at least recorded on the list of the League of Nations. It wasn't until 1939 that a noodle-rich country invaded Albania under the leadership of a self-proclaimed "Axis leader," causing the ill-fated country to lose its independence again.

And now, the "axis leader" who made Albania lose its independence is standing on Albanian territory, smiling as a train roars into the platform.

"Your Excellency, this is the last personnel transport train of the 11th Army of Army Group 'Albania'." When Plaska saw the train entering the station, he smiled and saluted Mussolini, who was standing half a step in front of him, and said, "When these soldiers are finished, the 'Albanian' army group will be ready to attack Greece at any time!" ”

"Good!" Mussolini nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Plaska and said, "Plaska, you are one of the generals I admire the most, as long as you fight well this time, I have enough reasons to promote you and let you into the coalition command, do you understand?" ”

Indeed, Plasca was indeed the most popular of all Italian generals, and the reason why he was so popular with Mussolini was not because he was a member of the powerful Visconti family, but because he had "a deep strategic vision that ordinary Italian generals do not have." ”

Plasca, whose full name is Sebastiano Visconti Plata, was born in Rome in 1883 and was a member of the powerful Visconti family. Beginning in 1904 he served in the army, subsequently in the Italian-Turkish War, serving mainly in the Higher Academy and the General Staff in the First World War, after which he served as a military attache in Belgrade for six years.

When he returned to Italy, he began to command the troops, and in the 30s, he published a book in which he trumpeted the idea of a quick offensive and a quick victory, which was very fashionable in the era of static warfare in the trenches, and only Germany wanted to develop its army in this direction at the behest of Lyon.

As a result, Mussolini was full of praise for him and decided to invade Ethiopia, of course, at this time, Praska had only just been promoted to brigadier general, so it was not his turn to be the commander of the Ethiopian war.

After the rapid destruction of France by the German army in a blitzkrieg, Mussoli was even more convinced that he was a contemporary Bole, and Plaska was a contemporary Maxima, so although Plaska's qualifications were extremely low, Mussolini still tried his best to promote Plaska to lieutenant general in 1940, and at the same time appointed him as the commander of Army Group "Albania", hoping that he would also use blitzkrieg to destroy a country, so that he could find face in front of the younger brothers of the Axis powers.

Of course, history has shown that Mussolini was a fool, and Plaska had a very peculiar experience: after the surrender of Italy in '43, he joined the resistance against Germany, and then he was captured by the German army, sentenced to death in Berlin, and then escorted to a prisoner of war camp in Potsnan to await execution.

Just when he was depressed and lamented that his magnificent life was about to end at the hands of the Germans, the Soviet Red Army invaded Potsnan, and seeing a great opportunity, he slipped out of the prisoner of war camp and joined the Soviet Red Army......

That's right, he joined the Soviet Red Army, joining his former nemesis! Looking at the major generals of the Axis countries, I am afraid that he is the only one who has served in the Red Army......

Of course, this is only the original history, and the history of this life has been completely rewritten because of the arrival of Leon, and it is difficult to say what the future holds.

"Yes! I understand! Hearing Mussolini's promise, Plaska nodded excitedly, "Didn't the Germans take France in two months?" I promise to take Greece in just one month! Let the Germans, the critics in the Axis countries, and the cubs in the staff who doubt your vision take a good look, our Italian soldiers are ten thousand times stronger than the German stinky brothers! ”

"Good!" Mussolini was even happier when he heard this, the reason why he fought Greece was to let the critics in the Axis countries have a good experience of the power of Italy, he just wanted to tell them that I, Mussolini, was the boss of the Axis countries!

"I'm relieved to have you say this!" Mussolini laughed and patted Plasca on the shoulder, "You can fight here with peace of mind, just say whatever you need!" I'm optimistic about you! ”

"But I'm not optimistic!" Just as the two were laughing maniacally, a cold voice interrupted their laughter.
