Chapter 82: Military Alliances

Sure enough, early the next morning, as soon as Lyon and Sophia had finished breakfast at the hotel where they were staying, Mussolini's envoy came over.

"General Leon, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." In pure German, he said embarrassedly, "Our great leader, Mr. Mussolini, wants to meet you, I wonder if you are free?" ”

Leon smiled: "I was about to visit Mr. Mussolini, and I have to thank him for giving so much for my wedding." ”

"That's great." The envoy didn't expect Leon to be so easy to speak, he was ready to be rejected by Leon and then scolded by Mussolini, "Then, we'll go over now?" ”

"Okay." Leon nodded, then smiled at Sophia, motioning for her to wait for him to return.

The hotel where Lyon stayed was not far from Mussolini's villa, and after a dozen minutes' drive, Lyon met the famous dictator at the door of the villa.

"Mr. AndrΓ©s, we meet again." Mussolini shook hands with Lyon affectionately and led Lyon into the villa.

"Haha, Mr. Mussolini, I didn't entertain you well at the wedding banquet last night, please don't be surprised." Leon laughed.

The two entered the villa and sat down on the sofa in the living room, and then a young and beautiful girl came up and poured them a cup of tea.

"Who is this?" Lyons thanked him and asked Mussolini suspiciously.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, sorry." Mussolini said, "This is my daughter, Eda Mussolini." ”

"Hello, Miss Mussolini, I'm LeΓ³n AndrΓ©s." Leon greeted her with a smile and introduced himself.

"I know you, Mr. Leon." Eda replied shyly, and ran away.

Instead of calling Leon "Mr. AndrΓ©s", she called him "Mr. Leon" like an old acquaintance.

This embarrassed Leon a little, he didn't know what Eda meant.

Mussolini looked at the two from the sidelines and said with a smile: "Eda has grown up and knows that he likes people." ”

"Ahem!" Leon, who was drinking tea, choked on this, and he thought to Mussolini and said, "This is not good, Mr. Mussolini, how old is Miss Mussolini?" ”

"Just turned 16." Mussolini smiled and said,

Beauty Trick! Leon quickly came to this conclusion, Mussolini is really perverted, oh no, really powerful!

But it was indeed Mussolini who was to blame, and Eda did have a crush on him.

Although Mussolini had always done anything to achieve his goals, it was impossible for him, as a father, to use his daughter as bait.

"Monsieur Mussolini, first of all I have to thank you for making such a great effort for my wedding." Leon decided to go straight to the point and break Mussolini's "trick", "Secondly, I wonder what happened to Mr. Mussolini's appointment with me this time? ”

Mussolini was overjoyed to hear this, and he didn't know how to bring the topic to the point, when Lyon himself offered to talk about it.

"I wonder what Mr. Lyon thinks of the international relations of Europe today?" Mussolini asked cautiously.

"Overall peace, local undercurrents." Leon understood that Mussolini was probably trying to form an alliance with Germany this time, but he did not know the specifics, so he was also cautious.

"I wonder if the undercurrent you are talking about refers to the contradictions between Britain and France?" Mussolini probed.

"Yes." Leon nodded and said, "In your opinion, in the end, will Britain win, or will France win?" ”

Mussolini secretly spoke when he heard this, Lyon is really powerful, as soon as this question is raised, he has to express his position first, and he is anti-guest-oriented!

He gritted his teeth and decided to go straight in: "I guess Germany will win!" ”

Leon glanced at Mussolini in surprise, he didn't expect Mussolini to be so direct, he coughed, and said, "How do you say that?" We in Germany have always been suppressed by the treaty. ”

"Treaty?" Mussolini smiled, "Are you talking about the Treaty of Versailles?" Or the Portsmouth Peace Treaty? Or the New Portsmouth Peace Treaty? ”

Leon was silent when he heard this, he understood the meaning of Mussolini's words, which meant that the treaty has no binding force on you, so let's not talk about the treaty.

"Okay." Lyon didn't care, no matter how tempted, some things had to be brought to the table after all, and he let it go, "Yes, we in Germany have been trying our best to get out of the present situation, and want to take revenge on France." But you Italy may not be 'peaceful' there, haven't you always wanted to turn the Mediterranean Sea into an Italian inland sea? ”

Now it was Mussolini's turn to be frightened, and it was his lifelong dream to turn the Mediterranean Sea into an Italian inland sea, and to restore Italy to the glory of the Roman Empire, but this dream would be hidden in his heart and never told anyone.

However, Lyon is a descendant, and he dug up Mussolini's biggest secret with a single word.

"You, how did you know about my plan?" Mussolini was at a loss, and at one point he even planned to call the guards outside to come in and kill Leon!

"Don't worry." Leon saw a fierce glint in Mussolini's eyes, but he was not nervous, because he knew that as long as he said the following words, Mussolini would never do anything to him.

"We have no conflict of interest with you, and we even have common enemies." Leon smiled and said, "If you want to gain the interests of the Mediterranean coast, you must have the consent of France, and France will not easily allow you to develop in the Mediterranean, let alone turn the Mediterranean into your inland sea." ”

Mussolini calmed down when he heard this, and he nodded.

"So you have to fight France." Leon continued, "And if we want to take revenge on France, we must also crush the French army." ”

"So, we have a common enemy, right?" Leon was still smiling.

"You're right." Mussolini's tense body relaxed, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

"Form an offensive and defensive alliance." Leon said directly, "I think it's a very good idea, what do you think?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Mussolini laughed happily, originally he called Lyon over today only to test Germany's views on the current international situation, and did not think that he could form a direct alliance.

"Can that make the guards outside the villa stand down?" Leon looked Mussolini in the eye, "My ally, sir?" ”

"Haha." Mussolini gestured to the air and sneered, "Those guards are looking straight at us to keep us safe." He explained palely.

"That's really Mr. Lao's trouble, I will send a plenipotentiary to discuss the details of the alliance with you." Leon stood up and shook Mussolini's hand, "It's getting late, I have to go back and report to Sofia, you know." ”

"Haha." Mussolini stood up and sent Leon out, "Welcome to my ally, Mr. Come, to my villa in the future, I'm sorry I didn't entertain you today." ”

"Haha, it's fine." Leon said and got into the car, "You are also welcome to visit Berlin at any time!" ”

This young man was terrible, Mussolini thought as he watched the car fade into his sight.

And at this moment, Leon in the car is also thinking, thinking about whether the alliance with Mussolini is appropriate.

After all, Mussolini's plan was too dangerous, and he thought that he would have to keep a certain distance from Mussolini in the future.

Leon didn't notice that perhaps his own ideas were the most dangerous!
