The smoke screen of the explosion, mixed with a large amount of sand, did not spread for a long time.

Almost instantly, violent explosions, dazzling fires, and shockwaves surged in unison.

More than fifty soldiers, under the impact and tearing caused by modern gunpowder, their heads were in different places, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

And the central figure that these soldiers were guarding was not spared because they were at the center of the explosion.

"Leader! Let's go see how the leader is! ”

In the panic, the party soldiers who saved their lives because of their position on the outside still did not forget the leader who was still in the explosion area because they had just passed the ghost gate.

"Let's go see the leader's car!" An accompanying Blackshirt colonel, who reacted with a bright spot, shouted to the dozen surviving Blackshirt soldiers around him.

"Yes!" Because the blackshirts also realized the seriousness of this sudden incident, they did not dare to rush to Mussolini's car according to the order without the slightest delay.

That's right, it was Mussolini who was attacked, and he had just come out of the hospital, and in an instant, he met the favor of the god of doom.

On the way back to the Palazzo Venezia, a squadron of bombers suddenly appeared over Mussolini's convoy and dropped a large amount of explosives at the first opportunity.

The bomber squadron moved quickly, leaving almost no time for Mussolini's convoy to react, and at the first moment it was discovered, it quickly dropped explosives.

After a concentrated round of bombardment, they turned around and left the scene of the incident, hurriedly evacuating.

Evacuation was done quickly to avoid leaving too much evidence behind. And only one round of bombing was carried out even more because the bomber squadron was confident that in such an intensive bombardment, Mussolini would not have survived at all.

Because it was a high-end sedan given by the German Führer Reinhardt, it has a good bulletproof and protective effect, so this sedan has miraculously not been exploded by air strikes.

Speaking of which, when Reinhardt gave away the car, Mussolini was still very stinky and wanted to refuse.

In Mussolini's opinion, how could the Italian leader not ride in an Italian-made car!

However, after discovering that Italy could not produce the kind of protective cars that the Germans had ordered for the leader, Mussolini chose to accept Reinhardt's kindness by default.

After all, no one will be at odds with their own lives. There are safer options, and few people like to choose the more dangerous ones.

In fact, Reinhardt would have given Mussolini the same bulletproof sedan as his own, also taking into account Mussolini's frequent assassinations.

Reinhardt has always been more concerned about his disobedient ally, but because of his huge ambitions, he had to cooperate with the Third Reich.

In Italy, it is not an easy and trivial matter to find a warfighter who is as important as Mussolini and has great ambitions, and who wants to go down the same path as Germany.

As the inner line recovered by Germany, Italy's largest Gestapo, Deputy Prime Minister Rossi's influence is increasing day by day.

But compared to Mussolini, he is still a little worse.

Although Mussolini has been losing face since he led Italy into the war. However, this does not mean that he is a completely incompetent leader.

Capable of sitting in the leadership of the Italian dictatorship, how could Mussolini be a stupid idiot?

In fact, Mussolini used voluntarism to control the minds of a part of the Italian population.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mussolini had all the talent needed to be a thinker.

The reason why he looks like a failure, but his level of thinking is not a problem.

Mussolini was a good idealist and demagogue, but not a good doer.

His ability to agitate the Italians to participate in the war is enough to show the level of incitement and control of his thinking. And this is precisely one of the key competencies that a country's leaders need.

Even Mussolini himself admitted that the Italians were unfit to see the world war, and said to Reinhardt after the Polish campaign: "You don't know the Italians, they don't like to fight." ”

Mussolini, apparently, was making excuses for Italy's failure to go to war. But in reality, what he said was all the truth.

And Reinhardt also admitted: "The only leader in the whole of Italy was the ancient Romans." ”

The leader in Reinhardt's mouth naturally refers to Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini himself.

Again, it seems that Reinhardt was only flattering Mussolini at that time, but in fact he was telling the truth.

The war-weariness of the Italian soldiers was actually very high, and only a small number of them really longed for war.

It was not easy for Mussolini to integrate this small number of people and most of the other Italians to prop up the war plan for the whole of Italy. At least, he really inherited the ambition and belligerence of the ancient Romans.

As for Reinhardt's protection of Mussolini, it was also because he needed someone to encourage the Italians to stay in the war, so that Germany would not be left alone.

From the point of view of Germany's interests, if there is a person who can drag Italy, which is generally war-weary, to fight all the way and fight side by side with Germany to share the pressure, then this person is what Germany needs.

Even though Reinhardt already had the allegiance of Italian Deputy Prime Minister Rossi, he still did not want to easily lose Mussolini, Italy's biggest and most persistent agitator of the war.

"The leader still breathes!"

In the smoke screen of the explosion, several blackshirt soldiers who quickly broke in took a lot of effort to pull open the door of the car that had been severely deformed.

Because of the huge impact of the explosion, the model of the bulletproof car was seriously deformed, and the door became unable to open due to the deformation, so it could only be pulled hard.

Fortunately, after pulling the car door, several SS soldiers were lucky to find that Mussolini, who had fallen into a coma and was still bleeding from his forehead, was breathing weakly.

"Come on! Take the leader out and rush to the hospital! The blackshirt major on the periphery also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the good news that the leader had survived, and quickly arranged for the next matter.

"Contact the nearest troops and ask them to send a car. We are located not far from the San Giovanni Hospital, and we will be able to get the leader to the hospital very quickly. The colonel naturally thought that Mussolini should be sent to the former San Giovanni Hospital.

Now that it is sent, the doctors who have been in contact with Mussolini before can still be familiar with the leader's physical condition, and even the prime minister's special ward or something can still be arranged as quickly as before.
