Germany, Berlin, inside the Führer's Palace.

Mussolini, who was asking Reinhardt for favors, didn't know at the moment that Rossi was finally hardened at home.

Now Mussolini was staring intently at Reinhardt, trying to read something out of the eyes of the German Führer.

Although Mussolini opened his mouth as soon as he came up, he put forward a bunch of extravagant conditions.

Whether to agree or not is still up to Reinhardt, the rightful French conqueror, to decide.

Mussolini, of course, knew that Reinhardt could not agree to all the conditions he proposed.

Yes, Mussolini was arrogant and ambitious, but that doesn't mean he's a fool.

On the contrary, Mussolini was even quite clever in this negotiation.

Seek it above and get it, and ask for it to get it below.

Mussolini, who knew the skills of negotiation, deliberately set the price very high, so that Reinhardt could bargain.

In fact, as long as half of his demands were met, Mussolini would be satisfied.

However, to Mussolini's surprise, Reinhardt seems to be even more bold than he imagined?!

I saw Reinhardt take Mussolini's hand and sigh with confidence: "Mr. Leader, you have always been an example for me to learn, don't say that you come to me today, even if you don't come, I will take the initiative to share a part of my vested interests with Italy, strengthen the friendship between our two countries, and strengthen the friendship between me and you." ”

Reinhardt's words can be described as half-truths and half-truths.

At first, he was indeed prepared to give Mussolini a share of the benefits. After all, Italy still more or less pinned down part of the French forces in the south.

But he didn't expect that Mussolini would open his mouth as soon as he came up, and he ignored his Reinhardt's rhetorical question, and kept talking to himself.

This gave Reinhardt a lot of insight.

He was a little strange that a person like Mussolini could live to this day without being killed.

How else to say that there are infinite possibilities in life?

Reinhardt, whose skin was thicker than the city walls, met Mussolini, who was not even ready to ask for a face. When the eldest brother meets the second brother, it is really difficult to communicate.

However, Reinhardt thought about it, and it didn't hurt to agree to Mussolini first.

Anyway, when Italy causes trouble everywhere and can't clean it up on their own, they will naturally run over to Germany for help, as they did in history.

Rather than rejecting Mussolini now, everyone will lose face. It is better to promise him first, but not to fulfill this promise seriously. By the time Mussolini had to turn to Germany, he probably wouldn't dare to pursue these promises.

When the time comes, Mussolini will be the only one who will lose face.

Reinhardt, who had found the "perfect solution", was overjoyed, and immediately grabbed Mussolini with his left hand, patted him on the shoulder with his right hand, and boldly agreed: "Rest assured, leader, after receiving the French reparation currency, I will urge the Ministry of Finance to pay 40% of the war reparation currency to the Kingdom of Italy." ”

So refreshing?!

Mussolini couldn't believe it for a while. Reinhardt didn't even save the bargaining process, he Mussolini asked for 40%, and Reinhardt gave 40%!

Happiness came somewhat suddenly, taking 40% of the war reparations paid by the French to Germany in one fell swoop, instead of the 20%, or even 10%, as Mussolini estimated. This made Mussolini very refreshed.

But what Mussolini didn't know. Most of France's war reparations treaties against Germany were paid for in goods.

In other words, most of what France allotted to Germany was oil, agricultural products, industrial goods, and other goods.

As for the monetary amount of the treaty indemnity, it was only a symbolic 100 francs.

Mussolini, then, would soon receive the 40% reparation money that Reinhardt had promised him.

Reinhardt didn't even have to say hello to the Minister of Finance, he himself could have given Mussolini the same amount of 40 francs as Newker to him.

It's just that Reinhardt didn't want to reveal the matter so early, so as not to be embarrassed.

After all, the Europeans at that time had not yet tried the wordplay of the 80-90s.

Although he has become a little slim, he has rarely been so shameless between countries.

However, Reinhardt traveled back in time after all. As early as when Germany implemented the Treaty of Versailles, he played a game of words, turning the Reichsmark as an indemnity into waste paper, and creating an Reichsmark as a new currency.

It's just that Mussolini did not accept the lessons of the French back then, and was once again bypassed by Reinhardt's word games.

In front of the happy Mussolini, Reinhardt continued to wave his hand and pretended to be very arrogant and promised: "When Italy occupies Egypt, Germany will immediately recognize Italy's ownership of Suez, and I, Reinhardt, will never compete with the leader!" ”

In fact, this is the eternal promise of a grandfather to his grandson, who promised to live until the day when Italy occupied the Suez Canal.

Mussolini was pleased, believing that his army would be able to defeat the British in Africa and the British annexes in Egypt. That is, the Suez Canal will soon be Italian.

Reinhardt was also happy, because he had succeeded in distracting Britain by sending Mussolini to Africa to do something.

The Third Reich was at odds with the British. Reinhardt and Churchill are also ruthless people who will not give up until they kill each other.

Mussolini's leadership of a large-scale war between Italy and Britain in Africa, then, could largely distract Germany from the pressure.

After all, in Europe today, the top three countries recognized as powerful are Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy.

Once two of the top three make a move against Britain at the same time, even in terms of public opinion, the British will not be able to hold on.

Italy entangled the British troops stationed there in Africa, and Germany went to settle down and prepared to land on the British Isles.

The two-pronged approach, so that Churchill could not take care of each other in the first place, was the ideal situation that Reinhardt envisioned.

But before that, we'll have to wait a little longer.

The British would not sit idly by while Vichy France owned the Algerian oil fields, because then the Allies would have a steady stream of oil from the French.

Therefore, with Reinhardt's understanding of Churchill, the Anglo-French African garrisons will soon have a war!

As for the Italians...... Reinhardt also prepared a good gift for Mussolini.

In Africa, there is no doubt that the Italian army will not be able to defeat the British.

However, in Africa today, it is not only the British power that can beat Mussolini.
