Mussolini, who was far away in Berlin, had just received the report of the Battle of Oran.

He can be said to be in a good mood now.

During the afternoon negotiations, Reinhardt readily agreed to a series of demands. Although it was different from what was expected, in general, Mussolini got what he wanted.

The first is the 40% currency of the French reparations. Taking advantage of Mussolini's being kept in the dark, Reinhardt shamelessly gave the 40 francs as a favor to Mussolini, who did not know.

Moreover, Reinhardt also asked for a deferral of payment, in order to reveal the truth later.

At the same time, Reinhardt also promised not to implicate the ownership of the Suez Canal after the Italian occupation of Egypt. This made Mussolini, who thought he could occupy Egypt and defeat the British army in Africa, very happy, thinking that he had picked up a big bargain for nothing.

On the other hand, with regard to Italy's request for a French African colony, Reinhardt agreed and promised to give it.

However, what Reinhardt gave was not Tunisia, but the Free French colonies that had taken refuge in Britain.

In other words, Italy will eventually need to claim these territories on its own with rifles and shells.

As for Mussolini's request for a 49% stake in the big oil field, this Reinhardt really decided to give it.

However, he only gave 49% of the shares of the oil fields that have been discovered in France, not all the shares of the oil fields in Algeria as a whole. In other words, what Mussolini got was just the tip of the iceberg.

To put it mildly, Mussolini took a 49% stake in the current initial exploration of the oil field. However, after the gradual development of the surrounding oil fields in the future, this stake will definitely not exceed 10% of Algeria's total oil field shares.

Even so, this share was not given for nothing. Italy needed to eliminate Britain's H-Fleet in the Mediterranean before it could qualify for it.

The delivery process will also be given gradually in installments, and it is planned to be fully paid around 1955.

As a result, Italy would have to remain on the same side as Germany for at least the entire duration of World War II and for the 10 years after the war.

There is another point that Reinhardt did not make clear. Because Algeria's oil reserves are not deliberately exaggerated at 30 billion barrels, but about 12.2 billion barrels.

By 1955, many of these small oil wells in the initial exploration should have been abandoned for a long time, and the remaining points should have run out of oil.

At that time, even if Italy takes all the profits brought by these small oil wells in the early stage, it is estimated that there will not be much.

As for Mussolini's request for French warships, Reinhardt promised Mussolini the battleships Brittany and Provence, which had been sunk during Ballista operations, and the damaged battlecruiser Dunkirk.

Anyway, it's all sinking, hurting.

At that time, Mussolini may have to happily thank the Germans for giving him so many ships to salvage and repair.

This salvage of wrecked ships and repair of broken ships can also lead to the creation of jobs in Italy, right?

All in all, Reinhardt's reply to Mussolini is not unpleasant, but it is all a reply that is detrimental to the morals.

After all, between countries, it is really like what Churchill said, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

Since Mussolini had the cheekiness to make a big offer, Reinhardt didn't mind being cheeky enough to talk nonsense with him.

It's not that Reinhardt doesn't have a sense of the big picture, it's not that he doesn't know between countries and shouldn't be fooled.

But every time he saw Mussolini, the bald man, he just couldn't help but want to hit someone.

If you don't hit anywhere else, you will be slapped in the face!

The key is to fight and not to fight, and others are still the leaders of a country.

That's okay, let's treat it as a son.

Judging by Mussolini's idiot and megalomaniac personality, Reinhardt may not be able to resist finding someone to kill him one day.

As a result, it seems that there is really no need to have a good relationship with Mussolini.

Of course, when this negotiation is over, in the end, Mussolini can only eat the yellow lotus dumbly, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

After all, those French battleships that were sunk, Reinhardt probably didn't know what they were.

Mussolini was negotiating, and Reinhardt was sitting across from him.

In this case, the Battle of Orlan took place at the same time, and it is not clear what the casualties were.

As for why the several battleships named by Reinhardt were all sunk or wounded, there is no other explanation than a coincidence.

Of course, if Mussolini had been willing to admit that Reinhardt was an all-knowing and all-powerful God, he might have suspected that he had been fooled.

But how could Mussolini's conceit believe such a thing.

Joke! Even if there really is an all-knowing and all-powerful God in the world, it should be Mussolini.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, at least for now, Mussolini is happy.

"This Reinhardt is still quite acquainted." Sitting on the landline back to Italy, Mussolini smiled and said to his subordinates with a satisfied smile.

The German Führer agreed to almost all of his demands and conditions in one go, and whoever this is said should be in a state of flux for a while.

Waving the battle report in his hand, Mussolini smiled even brighter: "The submarine forces of the Germans, together with our Italian fleet, defeated the main task force of the British sneak attack on France in one fell swoop. Then they delivered all the captured British warships to us. ”

If the Germans promised the benefits, they could not be seen for a while. Then this telegram from China can really be confirmed!

The aircraft carrier Ark Royal, a wounded battleship, and four more new British destroyers were the great trophies of the Italian Navy.

It can be said that this is the largest surrender of the British Royal Navy in the history of the British Royal Navy.

And the direct beneficiary of the surrender of the British army this time was the Italian navy, which rushed to pick up the leak.

What satisfied Mussolini the most was that the captured aircraft carrier Ark Royal was only slightly damaged, and with a little repair, it could immediately appear as an Italian aircraft carrier!

This will be the first aircraft carrier of the Italian Navy!

A high-class aircraft carrier picked up for nothing!

Even in the British Navy, HMS Ark Royal is the most advanced aircraft carrier.

For Italy, which has always been limited by national strength and lack of awareness, and has not built aircraft carriers, suddenly having a large aircraft carrier that is of excellent quality in modern times is tantamount to a relief in the snow.

From the preparation of funds, to the construction of aircraft carriers, to the commissioning of sea trials. Among them, what is needed is countless manpower, material resources, financial resources, and a lot of time and running-in.

But now everything is saved, and Sir Forbes, the commander of the British Navy, directly packed a finished product and sent it to the Italian Navy.
