"Are the Germans in Sicily really moving places?"

After a long time, Mussolini suddenly stopped and asked General Ambrosio, who was very calm in the Italian General Staff beside him, anxiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"According to our intelligence officers lurking in Sicily, and we should be deployed there by Kesselring's ace mechanized division; and the soldiers of the other four field divisions, as well as the officers, have confirmed that it is true.

Because they were also on the scene, observing the German army's every move.

"How can this be! Could it be that Hitler is going to come to us again this time like the last time! Last time, he and Kesselring coerced me to send the navy and air force to rescue the remnants of the Bang Kok Peninsula! A one-time loss of a large number of our planes and ships! Now both the Navy and the Air Force are complaining about me! And they constantly ask me to give supplies, personnel and weapons and equipment to replenish them! ”

"But now I'm going up there to get so many ships and planes to replenish them! Hitler and Kesselring, those two bastards! The supplies and weapons and equipment they promised me, and the compensation they have not yet received! ”

Hearing this, Mussolini was like a shrew scolding the street, and kept scolding loudly.

"Leader! In that case, then in order to save our Italy from the dire situation! I suggest that you do the same this time and transfer our troops from Sicily back to Rome as the Germans did! Let them keep our capital safe! What do you think of this? ”

General Ambrosio, the general of staff, waited for Mussolini to gradually calm down before he slowly stepped up to suggest the premise.

"But if I do this, will Hitler and Kesselring find an excuse to send more troops into our Italy?"

Mussolini glanced at the other party and said worriedly.

"Even so, we will bring back our troops back to Rome; Otherwise, only our Italian troops will be stationed in Sicily, which will be a bit unstable! If the Anglo-American Allies suddenly carry out a Sicilian landing, or attack our Italy from somewhere else; So isn't our empire and people in danger? ”

General Anbrosio, Chief of the General Staff, retorted in a reproachful tone.

"But if the Germans do move a large number of troops into our Italy, then what will we do? Or is there a better way to deal with Hitler's redeployment? ”

Mussolini hesitated for a moment before saying.

"It's hard! First of all, the few remaining navies of our present are cowering like turtles in the harbor; It doesn't matter if the sky falls, they won't go to sea to fight the Anglo-American allies again! And they were also sneakily, radioing to the British base camp in Malta, transmitting information about the deployment of German troops in Italy! ”

"And our air force, except for the small part of the air force on the island of Pantelleria, has not reacted much, and the other pilots and officers are clamoring that if the Germans don't give them new planes to replenish, they will never go to war again from now on and engage in air battles with the British and American allies!"

"Therefore, in order to calm the fierce emotions of our naval and air forces, I think the leader you will either withdraw the Sicilian troops to Rome, or send a telegram to Hitler, asking him for a large number of weapons and equipment and supplies to replenish our troops, so as to quell the protests of our naval and air forces!"

General Anbrosio, the chief of staff, spoke in a heartfelt tone, and gave a proposal.

Mussolini listened morbidly and dumbfoundedly, and did not answer immediately.

Since 1943, Mussolini's health has deteriorated; There was even a time when he was so sick that he almost couldn't get out of bed.

During that time, he was only able to be fed liquid food and sedatives for pain.

So now he is enduring the pain, and at the same time he is in the unfavorable situation for his own position and in Italy; And worries, and anger at Hitler's unpromises.

"It's all about Hitler and Kesselring, the two bastards, digging and digging to hurt me! If only I wouldn't have to worry so much now! And lose the morale of the army! ”

"In that case, then they don't blame me for retaliating with a tooth for a tooth! Call me Hitler first, and if he can't replenish the weapons and equipment and military supplies promised to us within a week, then we will not fight the Anglo-American Allies! Let them, discredited bastard Germans, go against the Anglo-American allies on their own! ”

Mussolini, having figured it out, gave the order in a rage.

"The leader should be clear! But I feel that if we also begin to withdraw the Sicilian forces to Rome now; Then I believe that the actions of Hitler and Kesselring, and the reply, will be a little faster! ”

General Ambrosio, the General Staff, smiled wickedly and continued to suggest.

"Good! I listen to you! ”

Mussolini nodded in agreement as if he didn't see the other man's evil smile.

"Wise leader, we are saved in Italy!"

General Ambrosio, the General Staff, said respectfully, after giving a military salute.

Then he turned around and left without looking back.

Mussolini, on the other hand, was so anxious that he went to get the medicine and eat it.

At this moment, he didn't know why he suddenly felt very tired, very tired, and wanted to go to sleep......

And at this time, in distant Algiers.

Carl Andrew Spatz, commander of the 8th Air Force, which was mainly based on B-17 bombers, and Arthur Travers Harris, commander of the British bomber force, joined forces and stormed Eisenhower's temporary headquarters in a fit of rage.

"Hmmm! Why did you two come to me in such a hot spot? ”

The transportation of various materials for the Sicilian landing operation and the coordination of troop movements are being studied; Eisenhower, who had worked out the strategy and tactics, looked up at Carl Andrew Spatz and said in amazement.

"Don't you know? Commander! Our air force and fleet are again under a massive sneak attack by the Germans! These bastard Germans are simply despicable and shameless! The last time they carried out such a large-scale raid on the island of Pantelleria and on the Cape Bang Peninsula caused heavy losses to our air force! Our 12th Bomber Group was completely annihilated in blood, and we haven't come back with a revenge! And they came to challenge us one after another! ”

"I can't take it anymore! I decided that I wanted to launch a massive air counterattack against the Germans! Even if I wipe out my Eighth Air Force, I'm going to get back the dead American soldiers in one breath! We in the United States of America are not easy to bully! The blood of our Air Force pilots will not be spilled in vain! ”

Eisenhower's astonishment immediately added fuel to the fire, and further detonated the anger of Carl Andrew Spatz; And let the other party's eyes widen, panting like a cow roared angrily.

"That's right! Commander Carl Andrew Spatz was right! Our air force of the British Empire is not said to kill if you love to kill! Our bomber unit also decided to fight the Germans desperately and let them know how powerful our British Imperial Air Force is! We want them to pay with blood! Avenge our dead Air Force pilots! ”

Arthur Travers Harris also chimed in in a rage.
