Mussolini's greatest military force was the Black Shirts, and in addition to the Black Shirts, Mussolini also had his personal guard, the Musketeers codenamed "Leader." (It is also said to be called the Italian gendarmerie)

This was Mussolini's personal guard, 8,000 people were selected from the armed forces of the country, and after layers of screening, only 4,000 remained.

It can be said that the title of the Noodle Army of the Italian Army, that is the army in general, and now this guard of Mussolini, that is definitely the army of steel.

They listened only to the orders of Mussolini alone, and no one had the right to mobilize them, and now, in the interests of the party as a whole, Ziano personally came to the station of the Guard.

"Our leader has been assassinated." Ziano said to Cannavaro, the brigade commander of the Guards, "Now, we are at the most dangerous juncture, and now I ask the Guards to obey my orders and maintain the stability of Rome together." ”

As Mussolini's son-in-law, Ciano had a good relationship with Cannavaro, and at this juncture, he had to win Cannavaro's support.

At the same time, Ziano also knows very well that although this guard is strong in combat, its loyalty is not very high, and if you want to impress them, you can't rely on loyalty to the leader, but on enough interests.

"When this event is over, the army will go through a cleansing." Ziano said: "Cannavaro, you will be the chief of staff of our Italian army. ”

Originally, Mussolini had already designated Garibaldi, but at this most critical time, Garibaldi was actually absent, so that the powerful Tenth Army could not be mobilized, and when this matter passed, Garibaldi must not be neutralized, and Cannavaro was the chief of the general staff, which was reassuring.

Sure enough, Cannavaro was tempted.

"What are we going to do?"

"Set up a guard in the city of Rome, impose martial law on the city, and capture Badoglio and his accomplices." Ziano thought for a moment and continued to add: "Keep the king safe." ”

"Okay, then let's go out immediately to avenge the party leader!" Cannavaro said.

Assemble and go!

Soon, the leader's musketeers drove out of the troop station, and in their hands they were holding a German-made submachine gun from Yishui, which was the most elite of the troops!

Ziano had planned to act with Cannavaro, but when he came out with his troops, he was blown by the cool breeze outside, and his mind suddenly cleared up.

At such a time, it is not him, nor Badoglio, nor even the king of Italy, who can decide the fate of Italy, but Germany, Chiric!

"Quick, send me to the German embassy!" Ziano said to his driver.

Be quick!

The Royal Palace of Italy.

Emanuele III was pacing back and forth, occasionally looking up at the map hanging on the wall.

The western part of Europe has all been planted with the swastika flag, Rome, and Berlin are on the same warp coil, which belongs to the axis, but now, Germany has done it to Mussolini.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the current chaos in the city of Rome is the result of the secret provocation of the Germans, who want to find a suitable agent in Italy again.

Mussolini was too old, such an old guy would not die well, and Ciric was not a good one. As for Badoglio, I'm afraid it didn't end well, he actually listened to the Germans and came back to provoke this conflict.

Badoglio's biggest drawback is that he is not a member of the party! Look at the countries that Germany now controls, which one is not in power by the Workers' Party? Non-partisan people like Badoglio, the Germans are not at ease.

In the eyes of Emmanuele III, there were vicissitudes of life, the Kingdom of Italy was his, but now, he saw that the city of Rome was in chaos, and he had to stay out of it!

At this time, whatever he did, it was wrong. He just watched quietly, watched who won in the end, and then came over to pay allegiance to him, and appointed him prime minister, and that's it.

Emmanuele III felt some sadness.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Badogglio was seriously wounded in an ambush by the Leader's musketeers."

"The Leader's musketeers, who control the northern part of the city of Rome, and the Roman garrison, which controls the southern part of the city, are at war."

The gunfire outside was not very loud, and these troops who exchanged fire deliberately avoided the palace so as not to disturb the king.

Emmanuele III did not speak, he knew that this result was what the Berlin man wanted most.

However, when he looked at the other corner of the map, he still chuckled in his heart, Rome is in chaos, Italy's top is in turmoil, and at this time, Italy is still being harassed by foreign enemies!

The Greeks will not let go of this opportunity!

The Greeks were most excited when they learned that Rome was in chaos, and their army was almost about to drive the Italian army in Albania into the sea, and at the same time, they were spreading their ships everywhere, preparing to cross the sea, and teach the Italians a hard lesson, whether or not they could gnaw a piece of land in the end, and let the flames of war burn on Italian soil!

And at such times, the situation suddenly changed.

The Mediterranean, calm and calm.

The absence of wind is not good news for ships sailing on the sea, and deck crews are busy on this straight-decked Goethe-class aircraft carrier.

When Germany completely occupied the Mediterranean, when Rommel continued to open up in the Middle East, the Mediterranean route became one of the busiest routes in Germany.

"Prepare for ejection." In the middle of the deck, the nose landing gear of an F190 fighter hooked the pistons of the catapult, the power of the engine was turned on to the maximum, and with the command to catapult to take off, a stream of steam drifted over the deck, and the carrier-based aircraft was easily ejected.

Although it is a fighter, under the belly, there is a bomb hanging, this F190 is already a panacea fighter of naval aviation, for the narrow Goethe-class aircraft carrier, only equipped with such an aircraft, which can facilitate maintenance and other operations.

Due to the low speed of the Goethe-class aircraft carrier, if you want to take off, you have to use a catapult, Germany has been investing money in the development of the aircraft carrier catapult, in addition to the old hydraulic catapult, this steam catapult has also begun to try to enter service, and even for this Goethe-class aircraft carrier has added a boiler to provide steam pressure.

The pilot pulled the control stick, and the fighter quickly climbed up after takeoff, heading in the direction of Greece.

Behind him, planes catapulted and took off one after another, and soon, dozens of planes flew in formation to Greece.
