After making it from the Navy conference room, Li Le found Adrian. www.biquge.info The officer who had just inherited Canaris' position as Minister of Intelligence of the High Command was one of the most loyal senior officials in the Führer.

It turned out that he was only a loyal officer, and he was selected to this position by virtue of loyalty to the Führer. For him, the Führer is faith, everything to him.

"Victory! Monarch! After Adrian walked into Li Le's office, he stood up and saluted and shouted.

Li Le waved his hand, for those loyal subordinates, he didn't care about these red tape. He preferred his men to show their loyalty by completing his tasks rather than by saluting and shouting slogans.

The first born of the Yuan who had crossed over opened his mouth and said to his henchman Adrian: "In order to cooperate with the actions of the naval fleet, we are going to use the pawn of Canaris!" ”

Adrian heard the Führer say this, and his eyebrows unconsciously raised. This means that the Führer has decided to use the position of Canaris once in order to add to the British's blockage.

"My Führer, this nail has already had a precursor to wavering in Turing's affairs." Adrian opened his mouth and said: "Using the Canaris line, will it create pressure on the navy because of failure?" ”

Previously, someone had already disguised himself as Canaris and sent false information to the British, misleading the British top brass into believing that Turing was a "member of the Shadow Force".

But Turing died too quickly, and too weirdly...... This made the German side a little uncertain whether the British were really deceived.

The direct effect of the uncertainty was that the Germans could not determine whether the line had really been discovered by the enemy.

"Don't be nervous, we're just using the worthless means in our hands to add some blockage to the British high-level." Li Le sneered confidently and spoke.

In Li Le's opinion, the set he played was all to create a more relaxed external environment for his fleet's sneak attack.

As for whether such a small measure can really work, Li Le doesn't care at all. All he had to do was to maximize his superiority as much as possible and strive for the best conditions for victory for his troops.

Even if these methods fail, Li Le will have nothing to lose. He can even judge whether Turing and his codebreaking team have been eliminated by the success of these small means.

"I see! After I go back, I will immediately implement the "Mr. Zhou Plan" that you ordered us to formulate! Adrian is absolutely obedient to Li Leke, and this is the most important thing he makes Li Le feel at ease.

This "Mr. Zhou Plan" is a plan of action formulated by Li Le to drive a wedge between the top brass of the opposing navy. Originally, it was a reference to the Battle of Chibi in ancient China, and the familiar passage of Jiang Gan's book theft.

As a result, due to the problem of vocabulary translation, when the name of the project was finally decided, Zhou Lang was translated into the weird Mr. Zhou......

In any case, Li Le plans to use the "Jiang Gan" created by himself - Canaris to kill the British Cai Mao Zhang Yun.

……

On the border between Italy and Greece, in a bare clearing, the Italian soldiers, under the sound of orders, cautiously jumped out of their trenches and launched an attack on the other side's position.

They were greeted by a rain of bullets from the old heavy machine guns of the Greek defenders. Tracer bullets weaved between the clearings, knocking down the hapless Italian soldiers.

The remaining Italian soldiers were forced to retreat back to where they had set out, and an attack was easily repulsed by the Greek defenders.

Inside the Italian headquarters behind the bunker, two regimental battles stood in front of an Italian general, scolded.

After several days of continuous fighting, their troops were very tired. Lacking heavy weapons and shells, they were unable to attack enemy fortifications.

Compared to their ally, Germany, the Italian forces were almost a World War I-era armed force. They were dominated by infantry and artillery, with only a small number of tanks.

Relying on the flesh and blood of the infantry, as well as the lack of ammunition, to attack the fortified defensive positions of the enemy troops, the Italian army paid a heavy price.

However, their results were pitiful, and even because of the counterattack of the British army, even some of the land they had swallowed before was forced to be returned......

"This is your offense? My artillery shelled the enemy for ten minutes! As a result, you only attacked for 5 minutes and were repulsed? The general yelled angrily.

He had watched the attack just now. The Italian soldiers had no determination to attack at all, and as soon as the enemy's heavy machine guns rang out, their attack was defeated.

"Sir, our troops are short of provisions, so there is really no way to continue the attack." A regimental commander replied in a depressed voice.

Another regiment commander also nodded in agreement: "Sir, the soldiers have not eaten a normal lunch for three days, their morale is very low, and there is no way to fight at all. ”

The Italian army's operations in the Balkans had already made Mussolini's attack difficult, and his offensive operations were almost declared a failure, but he still had no intention of asking Germany to join the war.

Mussolini had always wanted his troops to control the Balkans, and now it seems that his army was not capable of carrying out his orders.

On the side, the German 12th Army was waiting for the rest of the day, and German troops had already begun to be stationed in Romania and Hungary.

As soon as the Italian forces could not hold up, or Germany received a request from Italy, the German troops here would enter Yugoslavia, occupy it and move south to Greece.

It was not the strength of the enemy that was stopping the German offensive now, but Italy's insistence on its control of the Balkans.

The clock was ticking, and the dangers on the border between Germany and the Soviet Union, as well as the changes on the part of the British, were changing with the insistence of Italy.

So Mussolini's persistence came at a heavy price. He even returned 5 percent of the shares in the Libyan oil fields, which had already begun to make money, to Germany, only to gain a few precious days.

Unfortunately, the end that made him feel helpless was that his troops did not use the time of these few days to break the stalemate, and did not even advance a single step.

Even Mussolini himself could not stand such a passive situation, and he constantly called his front-line commanders and asked them to attack.

Unfortunately, his troops were not able to advance, and the situation of the battle did not change in any way, except for the casualties.

Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, the Italian general had no choice but to give up the investigation. He also knew that his troops were undersupplied and ammunition were not suitable for such large-scale combat operations.

Therefore, he could only report the situation to his superiors, saying that his troops had encountered the enemy's main forces and could not break through the enemy's defenses.

What he did not know was that almost all of the Italian units, with the exception of his troops, had encountered the main forces of the enemy and could not move on......

Such a report was sent to Mussolini's office with a bit of child's play. When the Italian leader saw this result, he was completely furious.

"Coward! My troops are a bunch of cowards! They don't even have the slightest hint of Roman spirit! He roared loudly in the office, silencing everyone.

Even through the office door, people outside could hear the shouting inside. This time Mr. Leader was really angry, and he was disappointed in his army.

"Count Ziano whispered on the side of the Germans, and we came up with a lot of profit distribution so that the Germans did not interfere in the war in the Balkans!" He yelled at his generals and marshals as he hammered his desk.

Before anyone else could speak, the Italian leader continued to scold: "Result! You've wasted all the opportunities you can! In the end, it didn't solve the problem at all! ”

Several Italian generals and marshals kept their mouths shut and did not speak, who wants to be the first bird to speak at this time? The fact that everyone did not speak made Mussolini even more angry.

You know, he had enough of the defeat of the Italian troops. Because of defeat after defeat, Italy has conceded too many benefits.

North Africa, which was supposed to be Italy, is now shared by Germany and Italy. The Libyan oil fields, which were supposed to be the sole possession of Italy, are now dominated by the Germans.

The Suez Canal has now become the pocket of the Germans, and I wonder if the Middle East will also become a trophy of the Germans in the future!

Now, asking Mussolini to cede another part of the Balkans is really too much for him to willingly.

But...... What if you are not willing? It's already November 6th, and if the Balkans are not settled, the German Army will really join the war.

After all, neither the Führer nor the top brass of the Wehrmacht wanted to watch as the more than 40,000 British troops in the Balkans left calmly after annihilating a large number of Italian living forces.

"Tomorrow, the deadline given to us by the German diplomatic service, if we still can't settle the Balkans on our own, the Germans will intervene......" Mussolini said, looking at his men, suddenly stopped growling.

As he spoke, he sighed lonely: "What else? My troops have never won since the beginning! What else can I do as a leader? ”

It's really no wonder that Mussolini was so out of shape, starting with the Battle of France and going all the way to the Balkans...... His troops really didn't win a game......
