"Long live the Führer!" Alfred saluted Leon with a haggard face, "I'm back!" ”

"It's good to be back." Leon patted Alfred's shoulder, he looked at Alfred's haggard look, and said movingly, "This half month in Austria...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Führer, I'm fine...... Alfred had tears in his eyes, "but can you tell me why you want the Italians to be our allies?" God knows what I've been through in the past half month......"

"Alas, I've wronged you." Leon said helplessly, "There is no way, who made Italy similar to ours." ”

"Tell you the truth, Führer, the thought of having to fight alongside that group of people in the future, I, I ......," Alfred said, his eyes red again.

"It's okay, your grievances will not be in vain, Mussolini will come to receive people tomorrow, and I will make him pay." Leon said with a smirk.

At this moment, Mussolini, who was far away in the Roman villa, felt a chill.

"Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?" Mussolini, who was reprimanding his men, muttered.

"Rice bucket! Their bunch of rice buckets! Turning his head, Mussolini continued to curse his henchman, Graziani, the chief of the General Staff of the Blackshirts. A total of 21 people! went to assassinate Xu Shinige, and was arrested before he even entered the door! It just disgraced my Mussolini face! ”

"Leader, this, it's just that they are not well prepared...... Graziani said in a cold sweat, "or I will let our four infantry divisions on the border go straight in." ”

"Are you crazy?! If I wanted to start a military conflict, would I send someone to assassinate me? Idiot! Mussolini scolded, "You're a rice bucket too!" What subordinates are taught? How many years did our Black Shirts predate the German SS? But now? Look at the SS, the combat effectiveness is close to the Wehrmacht! Look at us again! ”

"We, our combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Royal Italian Army." Graziani said with a little pride.

"That's because the Royal Army is also a bunch of rice buckets!" Mussolini glanced at Petro Badogrio, the chief of staff of the Royal Italian Army, and said mockingly, "It's just that people have more rice than you." ”

After scolding, Mussolini let out a sigh of relief and said, "I may be able to make things difficult for me tomorrow when I go to Berlin and Lyon." ”

"Leader, then you'd better not go." Graziani advised, "Just let those fools fend for themselves." ”

"No, I have to go to Berlin, but I'm just bringing back those idiots, and I have more important things to discuss with Lyon." Mussolini said, "Our military operation, code-named 'Quick Knife,' is about to be executed. ”

With that, Mussolini pushed a document in front of the two men.

On the cover of the material are written four large characters - "Treaty between Italy and France".

"France has acquiesced to our 'quick knife'?" The two said in surprise.

"Yes, this is the treaty signed by French Foreign Minister Pierre Reival and me the day before yesterday." Mussolini pointed to the Italian-French Treaty.

The two hurriedly opened the treaty.

"France agreed to our occupation of Ethiopia, and all we had to pay was to form an alliance with them against Germany." Mussolini laughed.

"Against Germany, isn't Germany our ally?" Badoglio wondered.

"Yes, Germany is our ally, and it is the most in our interests, the most staunch ally!" Mussolini laughed, "But who said that if I signed this agreement, I would have to fight against Germany?" It's another thing to promise to promise, to do it or not! ”

"The leader is amazing!" Graziani boasted, "What about England? They're a nuisance. ”

"Britain?" Mussolini said disdainfully, "Britain is afraid of going to war with us, and what kind of continental balance they are engaged in requires them to win us over, after all, Europe is a little unbalanced now." ”

"That's great." The loss of two of the biggest constraints made them happy.

"Leader, if everything is ready, then I ask to go on the expedition!" Badoglio said to himself, "I will bring glory back to Italy!" ”

"You should train the army at home with peace of mind, I have already chosen the marshal of the expeditionary force, it is General E. de Bono." Mussolini said, "He will lead 500,000 Italian warriors to win land for us!" ”

At noon the next day, Mussolini's plane slowly landed at the Berlin air base in Germany.

"Welcome, welcome to Berlin with Mussolini leader." Lyons greeted Mussolini at the airport with a large group of SS troops.

"Haha, I haven't seen President Andrés for a long time, but you still have the same style." Mussolini shook hands with Lyons and laughed.

"Alas, where is the style." Leon waved his hand and said, "There have been a lot of worries lately, and I feel like I've been listless all day. ”

"Annoyance?" Mussolini asked subconsciously, but as soon as he said this, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

What else is Leon's recent troubles, isn't it the catch of the Blackshirts? Mussolini thought.

Sure enough, as soon as Leon heard this, he immediately looked at Mussolini meaningfully, and said slowly: "Isn't it the 21 Blackshirt assassins who have been caught in Vienna that have been 'acting without permission' recently?" Mr. Mussolini, you say, how should I deal with such an incident that has damaged the relations between our two countries? It's really annoying to me. ”

"Ha, haha." Mussolini sneered, "I will clean up those people fiercely, and I will also compensate for the losses caused to your country, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Hmm." Lyon nodded with satisfaction and asked Mussolini, "I don't think Mr. Leader will let me chill Germany, right?" ”

"Of course, of course!" Mussolini nodded repeatedly.

"Then I'll take you over to see those people, right?" Leon said with a smile that he wanted Mussolini to take those men too much.

"No, no." Mussolini refused, then leaned into Leon's ear and said in a low voice, "I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Leon, I don't know if I can?" ”

Leon glanced at Mussolini suspiciously, and then asked in the same words that only two people could hear: "Mr. Mussolini, you didn't come this time for those 21 people?" ”

"Yes, I have something important to tell you." Mussolini whispered, "We would like to reach an understanding with you regarding our recent military operations in Italy. ”

"Military operations?" Leon pondered for a moment, "Could it be, Ethiopia?" ”

"Yes, Ethiopia." Mussolini nodded.

"Okay, let's go to my presidential office and talk."

After saying that, Lyon took Mussolini into the car and drove towards the presidential palace.
