"Fortunately, we found the loophole on the side of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in time, otherwise Italy would have declared war on the United States by now."

A Gestapo official from the Italian branch sent by Italian Prime Minister Rossi reported to Reinhardt with some fear: "This is a hidden danger left by former Prime Minister Mussolini when he was in power. At that time, he and the traitor former Foreign Minister Chiano made a guarantee to Japan to declare war on the United States, and as a result, the relevant officials kept the file, and this time the newcomers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs went through the declaration process according to the previous file. ”

"A declaration of war guarantee? This kind of thing is obviously just a matter of words, and the Japanese can't delve into it, and he Mussolini really arranged the relevant matters honestly?! Reinhardt asked with a little tears and laughter.

"Yes, Prime Minister Rossi was also surprised, and all the personnel, including our entire Italian branch, did not know that Mussolini had made such an arrangement." The Italian secret policeman who had rushed to Berlin nodded and explained: "After a while, Prime Minister Rossi will arrange for Mussolini to be held accountable, after all, he almost caused a major diplomatic accident, which is a good topic." ”

Reinhardt was stunned when he heard this: "What? Hold Mussolini accountable? Didn't I remember that the former leader of Italy died of serious injuries? ”

The Gestapo nodded again and replied: "Mussolini is seriously wounded, but not incurable, my Führer." ”

"Oh...... That's not dead yet! Reinhardt understood what he meant, and he always thought that Mussolini had been seriously injured and died after that assassination.

It's been a long time since I've heard Mussolini fuss, so it's no wonder Reinhardt thinks so.

While thinking, Reinhardt teased another Gestapo attendant from the German headquarters next to him: "Did the Italians mix sand in the bombs?" How did you make Lord Lingxiang come back to life? I thought he was dead. ”

The entourage was not from the Italian Gestapo branch, and he was responsible for the security of the Führer in Germany, and he did not know the details of the incident in Italy, so he just said suspiciously: "Führer, Italy is our loyal and reliable ally, and it is not appropriate for us to ridicule the other party's former leader like this, right?" ”

Reinhardt obviously didn't realize this before, after hearing the reminder of the entourage, he pondered for two seconds, and then realized a lot of things, and thoughtfully patted the entourage on the shoulder and said: "What you said makes sense, I should tease in front of the former Italian leader, so that I can show my integrity, right?" ”

Retinue:......

As if not seeing the strange expressions of his entourage, Reinhardt continued to say to himself: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mussolini's reflective head for a long time. ”

He looked at his entourage and asked with interest, "You say, should we go to Italy to visit their seriously injured former leader?" ”

The entourage was sweating after hearing this, but fortunately he had not forgotten that Rossi had sent a letter specifically on this matter: "My Führer, the commander of the Italian side, Rossi, has written from me before, saying that the current situation of their former leader Mussolini is not optimistic. For Mussolini's better recovery, please ......"

Before the entourage could finish speaking, Reinhardt interrupted with a bold wave of his hand: "Please let me go to Italy as soon as possible to see my old friend for the last time, right?" Okay, I got it. Arrange a plane and we'll go to Rome tomorrow. ”

It wasn't until Reinhardt finished speaking that the attendant continued, "...... Please postpone your visit. ”

In fact, Rossi hoped that Mussolini's health would get better as soon as possible, so that he could arrange for Mussolini to be held accountable, so that the former prime minister and his enemies of Rossi would be ruined.

Rossi hoped that Mussolini would be able to experience the same pain he had experienced in his awake state. That's why he wanted Mussolini to get better first.

Anyway, Rossi had already seized the power of Italy, and Mussolini would not help if he came to his senses, so he was not worried.

But Reinhardt and Mussolini did not have so much hatred, he simply wanted to take revenge on Mussolini.

After all, during the Polish campaign, Mussolini's bad behavior of opening his mouth to his lion, Reinhardt, who held a grudge, has not forgotten it to this day.

Fortunately, Mussolini was seriously injured and hospitalized halfway, otherwise if he had gone to Yugoslavia and Greece to toss, maybe the result of the Soviet-German war would have been that Germany would have cooled down!

Mussolini, the big pit, the biggest traitor in the Third Reich in the formation of the Iron Alliance, of course, I Reinhardt himself had to take revenge.

I saw Reinhardt shake his head at his entourage and say, "No, no, no, as an old friend of Mussolini's leader, I know that he must be waiting for my arrival now." Believe me, no one knows the leader of Italy better than I do. After I pass, he will get better faster. ”

It's a pity that the entourage can only suggest that the Führer's arrangement cannot be refused, so he nodded in a cold sweat: "Okay...... Okay Führer, I'll go arrange the plane. ”

So, July 5, 1941. The German Führer once again came to visit his "old friend" at the San Giovanni Hospital in Italy.

When Reinhardt and his entourage, accompanied by Rossi and the guards of the Italian Gestapo he had arranged, entered the Giovanni Hospital and came to the door of Mussolini's room, he saw a tightly wrapped "mummy" looking at this side in a wheelchair.

This "mummy" is Mussolini, who was seriously injured by the bombing and rescued in the hospital.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Guardsman! Guardsman! Come on, mummy! The mummy is resurrected! Reinhardt exclaimed in surprise at Mussolini, who was in a wheelchair with a plaster bandage.

Although it was a thick plaster, it seemed to others that they could feel what Mussolini's face would look like now.

An Italian entourage with a twitch in the face followed up to Reinhardt and explained: "Great German Führer, there are no mummies here, and in a wheelchair is our former leader Mussolini. ”

"What? This mummy is my old friend...... Mussolini? Reinhardt pointed to Mussolini, the wheelchair, and pretended not to know the situation in advance.

The face of the Italian official twitched again: "Yes, honorable German Führer." ”

Reinhardt smiled, with a gloating expression, and turned to look at Mussolini in a wheelchair: "Oh, Your Excellency, Leader. I know you've always loved Egypt, but there's no need to dress up like that! If you really like it, I'll ask Rommel to dig up the pyramid tomorrow and bring you a real mummy. ”

Mussolini, who was in a wheelchair, shook his plaster head slightly and made a "whine" sound. It could be seen from the angry look in his eyes that the former leader was not in a very happy mood right now.

It is no wonder that after all, before Mussolini's attack, he had already dreamed of countless military parades in Cairo, but when he reached this situation, he was suddenly washed by Reinhardt.

If he doesn't get angry, he won't be Mussolini!

But Reinhardt continued to provoke Mussolini: "Don't get excited, leader! I know you want to say thank you to me, but who made me your best friend! Don't say thank you, we've already communicated in our hearts. ”

The people on the side were already dumbfounded. They could only see through the gap in the plaster, and Mussolini in his wheelchair was now wide-eyed. It's hard to imagine what this once invincible leader is thinking at this time.

It would be nice if it was just that, but the point was that Reinhardt didn't even mean to stop, and then he sat down on the sofa next to Mussolini with a big grin, and continued his teasing.

And after Reinhardt found that Mussolini's hands and feet seemed to be completely immobile, he began to play with his flexible hands and feet, changing various postures to raise Erlang's legs, or turning his hands into the shape of various animals, rotating around the top of Mussolini's head!!

In the end, even Rossi, who had a deep hatred for Mussolini, felt that he couldn't bear it, and simply dragged Reinhardt out of Mussolini's hospital room on the pretext of discussing the war in Europe.

At this time, Mussolini had collapsed on top of the wheelchair with his mouth foaming at the mouth.

As a result, before taking away, Rossi also saw Reinhardt turn around, point to Mussolini who was paralyzed in a wheelchair, and charge a good person with an anxious face: "Nurse, hurry up, he's fainted!" ”
