Chapter 365: Reinhardt and Mussolini

There is war in the west, training in the east, so what is happening in the south of Germany?

Oh, and it's next to Italy to the south, so it's fine. What can happen in Italy?

However, nearly a month after the Kingdom of Italy pretended to be deaf and dumb, after the main force of the Anglo-French alliance was completely defeated and retreated to Dunkirk, the great Italian Prime Minister Mr. Mussolini came to Germany to meet Reinhardt.

"Führer Reinhardt, since I learned of the surrender of Belgium, I have decided to lead Italy into this war on June 5. We will fight together and fight together for our interests........"

Who's going to fight with your bald head?! Reinhardt thought hard to find out what was shining in Mussolini as a person. It's a pity that he couldn't find the merits of this guy after thinking about it for a long time.

"Now, too, the Italian people are anxious to fight side by side with the German people against a common enemy, which is a great boon for a bitter Germany....... "Mussolini continued to boast about himself.

"Ahem......!" Reinhardt, who was on the side, was so shocked by these words that he coughed one after another.

When did Germany get into a bitter war? The situation on the front line here is very good, and we are about to win a big victory! And this gospel says, how confident are you in the Italian army.......

Thinking of the "terrifying" surrender rate of the Italian Army, and then looking at the confident Italian leader in front of him, Reinhardt really wanted to laugh, who gave him the courage to say that?

However, before Reinhardt could speak, Mussolini offered Germany another price: "From a political point of view, I think it is necessary to extend the war to the Danube and the Balkans, and Italy must also receive supplies from this region, and no one can point fingers at it." ”

Mussolini meant this, that is, he was reminding Reinhardt that the Balkans were Italy's sphere of influence, and you Germany could not have any intentions.

"Let's put the Balkan business aside for now." Reinhardt was kind enough to remind Mussolini: "On the contrary, I have some suggestions for the entry of Italy into the war, and I would like to give it to Mr. Leader." ”

Reinhardt's reminder was in fact purely out of the fact that he did not want this bald ally to make too much of a fool of himself in the future, so as not to disgrace the German-Italian steel alliance.

But Mussolini didn't think much, he thought that Reinhardt wanted to urge Italy to enter the war and relieve the military pressure on Germany to fight alone, so he gave advice to Italy to enter the war.

Thinking of this, Mussolini smiled slightly, then pulled out a list from his bag and shook it in front of Reinhardt, intentionally or unintentionally.

Good guy, I'm bringing a list at this juncture, I want the lion to open his mouth! Reinhardt swallowed his saliva in a daze, and looked directly at Mussolini, this bald guy wants to engage in wool?!

Clearing his throat, Mussolini smiled and said: "700,000 tons of oil, 600,000 tons of coal, 300,000 tons of steel, 200,000 tons of wood, 50 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 trucks....... This request has been reduced by a full ninety percent compared to the supplies we put forward before the Polish campaign, but you don't have to be too polite. ”

You're welcome, you big-headed ghost! If Reinhardt had a mace in his hand, he would probably knock Mussolini's bald head directly. I'm embarrassed to mention the Polish campaign, you're fucking addicted to supplies.

In addition to supplies, Mussolini also asked for the latest German No. 5 tank blueprints, Germany's Messerschmitt Me-109 fighter technology, and all the benefits that Germany could offer.

Otherwise, human beings are full of infinite unknown possibilities, Reinhardt used to think that he was one of the best without face, but now look at Mussolini, he finally believes in what it means to have someone outside the world!

How can there be such a good thing if you dare to ask for so many benefits when you send 300,000 people to fight a France that is about to collapse?!

If you send troops early, it will not be impossible to give you benefits. But you didn't send troops when you first started the war, and you still don't send troops now, and you have to wait until June 5 to send troops.

What do I want you for?!

Reinhardt was sweating profusely when he heard this, and finally had to wave his hand directly: "Don't don't, Mr. Leader, when I didn't say it." I don't have a suggestion to give it to you, you can fight the French battle as you want, and if you don't want to fight, you won't fight, don't force it. ”

Why, Germany doesn't want Italy to send troops anymore? Mussolini was somewhat surprised.

"Actually, we can solve this French battle by ourselves, and we don't have to bother the Italian allies." Reinhardt said bluntly.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was, even if you work hard, you can't use it, why should you go, don't bother here.

"However, we have already helped Germany very much diplomatically, and I think it is necessary for Germany to compensate Italy with a lot of technology." Mussolini was stunned for a moment, and did not bother with why Reinhardt did not ask for his own troops, and continued to brazenly ask for a price.

He was in no hurry to send troops in the first place, and since you Germans said that we don't need to bother, then we won't bother. If we can, let's Italy wait for the day when the French and Germans sign the surrender agreement and then send troops to pick up the leaks.

However, the benefits still have to be wanted, and who makes us allies? Mussolini thought to himself that the Germans would have to pay a little more.

Fortunately, Reinhardt was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately patted his chest and agreed loudly: "No problem! Drawings of the Leopard tank, right? I'll send it to you. And the Metzschmidt fighter, we can do a joint R&D project. ”

Rose, who had been accompanying him, was stunned when he heard Reinhardt's casual promise to send high-secret weapons information.

Although it is an ally, it is impossible to send the core technology as soon as it is said!

After sending Mussolini away, he immediately went to Reinhardt to remind: Führer! Are we really going to send the latest tank 5 drawings to Italy? That's ......."

"Short-sighted! This war is not something we can win on our own! Reinhardt solemnly pointed out: "We are in the same boat as the Kingdom of Italy, and we cannot be stingy with anything that can increase the combat power of the Iron Alliance!" ”

"Oh!" Rose looked at Reinhardt adoringly and nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Go back and let the R&D department make the appearance data of the Leopard tank more beautiful and beautiful. Strive to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight! Reinhardt tilted his head sideways and said with a gloating smile: "As for the internal structure drawings inside, I still have to take them out and keep them, so I can replace them with the structural drawings of E79 (the advanced German tank drawings that did not appear in World War II, let alone Italy, even Germany itself can't make them). ”

"If they can really solve the technical difficulties of E79 infrared night vision, automatic loading, low-horizontal torsion bar suspension and 128 high-magnification cannon...... Forget it, they're still dreaming! ”

"Hmm!" Rose nodded heavily, looking into Reinhardt's gaze with more and more admiration.
