"Report!" An official in charge of receiving foreign visitors knocked on the door of Reinhardt's office, interrupting his communication with Ribbentrop.

"The Führer, the Prime Minister of Italy, Mr. Mussolini, has arrived at the airport on the outskirts of Berlin and has asked to discuss it with you."

"Oh?" Reinhardt said with a strange face: "He still has the face to negotiate terms with me?" ”

The labor division went out to attack in multiple directions with 32 main divisions. In the end, the French army took 3 divisions of Belente as the vanguard, with a total of no more than 5 divisions, and fought a classic counterattack.

In the face of the French army, which had been wiped out by the Germans, they attacked more and less, and still attacked suddenly, but finally ended up in a crushing defeat.

Gambal is also a famous army general of the Italian generation, and under the premise of taking advantage of the situation, he was abused by a French lieutenant general named Bérente.

With Reinhardt's knowledge of Mussolini, although he himself was disgraced and failed to get benefits from the French, it was shameful enough. However, he was cheeky enough to ask the German allies to divide the spoils, and he was able to do it again.

In fact, even Mussolini himself really feels a little shameless now.

He didn't understand why he had such a thick skin to go to Germany again and again.

In fact, Mussolini had already been to Berlin three times.

The first time he went to Berlin and told Reinhardt that Italy was not ready for war and would not declare war on Britain and France immediately, making Italy seem useless.

The second time he went to Berlin and told Reinhardt that Italy had declared war on France, and that it wanted to grab some of the fruits of Germany's victory, which made Italy seem to be very speculative.

This time he was going to Berlin again, and told Reinhardt that he would ask Germany to take into account Italy's interests and feelings in the matter of France's surrender, and to give Italy a little benefit.

In these three times, Italy has not been looking for trouble for Germany, and no one else has the cheekiness to continue to make trouble for Germany.

As the saying goes, there are only three things.

"What face does Italy have, and what face do you have for me to go to Germany again and again, so that the invincible Germans in the European theater consider our bullshit feelings? Is it just our cheekiness to ask for German aid? ”

As early as on the plane, Mussolini yelled at his men.

At this time, he clearly remembered the Italian Army's surprise attack on the French army in southern France not long ago.

Originally, the Italian army wanted to take advantage of the French army's inattention and take advantage of the French army with its superiority in strength.

But Admiral Gabala, who commanded 32 divisions of heavy troops, was easily beaten by the French, which caused Mussolini to make a fool of himself after his speech.

But then Mussolini fell silent.

For, as his men had said before, Italy had to reap certain benefits from France, after all, they had to think about the future and destiny of the country.

The Germans signed an armistice with France, and the war was almost over.

At this time, he should think about how to divide the benefits after the war, instead of dwelling on past failures.

After further consideration, Mussolini, who had definitely lost face in front of the French, preferred that the British would not immediately give in when Germany attacked.

Because in that case, the Italian army would not have a chance to really fight the British army and regain face.

Mussolini not only believed that Italy was capable of helping Germany in the war with Britain, but also thought that Italy would be an important part of the war with Britain.

Of course, no one knows where Mussolini came from, confidence in his army.

As far as Ciano learned of Mussolini's careful thinking, he also hoped that the Germans would suffer at least 1 million casualties when they invaded England, so that Italy would be able to show their importance, so that the Germans would know how important the Italian army was to them, and that they could not do without them!

According to the characteristics of Mussolini's character, he was not satisfied with winning the honor without exerting much effort.

He wanted a military victory, not a compromise peace.

He's a fanatical warmaker!

However, he himself had little command or combat ability, as can be seen from the defeats of Italy.

While in Italy, he learned from Grandi and other diplomats returning from London that Britain was on the verge of collapse, thus further justifying his contempt for the "Anglo-Saxon nation" and his propagandists about the British army's fear of life and death.

This thought encouraged Mussolini to demand special treatment for the Italian army in the invasion of England in the presence of Reinhardt

Britain, a weak country, under the iron hooves of the Italian occupation army, must also learn to keep a low voice and behave as a human being.

In Mussolini's eyes, the Italian army was invincible in the world, and at most no one but the Germans could defeat them. Although, they have already lost more than one war.

Italy had previously lost to the French Army, but now the enemy that defeated Italy had been wiped out by the Germans.

Now, then, we have to imagine that among the armies of the remaining countries, no one except the German army can defeat the Italian army, which is also reasonable to a certain extent.

It's a pity that Solini, as the supreme commander of Italy, has made many rash decisions, so that the Italian army, which could indeed become stronger, has been pulled back again and again.

First, he demobilized part of the army to provide labor for the harvest.

As a result, many of the Italian soldiers became peasants.

Although Tuntian is good, it should not be a mistake in the most basic military training. It so happened that the Italian army made this mistake.

Second, Mussolini took it for granted that Italy had complete sea and air supremacy over the entire Mediterranean, and thus refused to engage in in-depth naval and air military cooperation with Reinhardt.

And he wanted to deepen the cooperation with the German army, but others Reinhardt was not willing.

At the same time, he believes that 100,000 people can walk through the 600-kilometre desert in the middle of summer without encountering difficulties or risks.

It has to be said that Mussolini was really a very assumed leader. This time, he believed that the biggest negotiating card with Reinhardt was to launch a large-scale attack on the British colonies by his Italian army in the African desert in response to Germany's military action against the British mainland.
