The British now see Churchill as a savior, but does Churchill really have the talent or judgment to rival Reinhardt?

The answer is yes, not at all!

Not to mention that Reinhardt's ability to predict comes from the historical inevitability that has already happened, even through the perspective of God in later generations, Reinhardt's vision is much wider than that of his contemporaries.

Churchill, on the other hand, had predicted a great victory for Germany with a mentality of exaggerating the crisis in order to increase the degree of acceptance of his views among the masses. It just so happened that Germany really won a big victory, and this made Churchill's deliberately exaggerated conjecture come true.

What makes people laugh and cry is that Churchill, the savior in the eyes of the British, respected Mussolini, the Italian leader who secretly allied with Germany, as an idol!

As early as 1927, when Churchill visited Rome, he openly sighed: "If I were Italian, I would have worn the uniform of the Italian Blackwood Army." ”

Later, at a press conference, Churchill confirmed in public: "If I were Italian, I would definitely stand on the same side as Mussolini's party and fight against Bolshevism until I win." ”

In Churchill's view, the friendship between Britain and Italy began as early as the time of Garibal's and Cavour. The reason why Italy participated in the Allied war against Germany was also greatly influenced by the British side.

And Prime Minister Mussolini, as the leader of Italy, is simply a model for contemporary leaders in the eyes of Churchill!

Churchill did not even doubt that the Italian leader would leave a "lion-like footprint" in history.

More than once recently, he has reflected privately and summed up the reasons for such a development. Chamberlain's failure was that he had hoped that Poland would become a strong ally of Britain on the European continent, and ignored Italy, a traditional European power far superior to Poland!

The French Third Republic is already fighting side by side with the British Empire, so Italy's attitude will be the key to the final victory!

Italy helps Germany, and this European showdown at the level of a world war will become a 2v2 stalemate. Italy is on the side of the United Kingdom, so the future of the British side will evolve into a 3v1 landslide victory. Even if the Kingdom of Italy chooses neutrality, the duel between Britain and France and Germany will be a 2v1 duel that is more favorable to the British side.

As for the propaganda that Italy claims to have an army of 3 million, Churchill also believes that there will never be much water in it. After all, Italy in his eyes is a more centralized country than Britain and even Germany, with Italy's population base of 41 million, plus a large number of troops provided by the colonies, it is easy to form a force of 3 million!

But in fact, the reason why Italy has so many troops on paper is only by ordering a large number of civil servants to "put on military uniforms" and forcibly replenish the army. The number of Italian troops was barely 1.63 million, and this was the result of Mussolini's expansion during the Polish campaign.

But while Churchill was still indulging in the fantasy of wishful thinking to win over Mussolini, Mussolini, whom he admired, had already rushed to Berlin, Germany, to start a discussion with Reinhardt about the future of war.

"With all due respect, you, the great leader of Italy, have always been my spiritual mentor, and the fact that Berlin is able to welcome a great man like you will add to the city's infinite honor." As soon as they met, Reinhardt touted Mussolini to the sky.

"Hehehe, I can see that your words are from the heart." Touted by Reinhardt, the German Führer who had just won the Polish campaign, Mussolini's previous envy disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Looking at this conceited fool, Reinhardt had mixed feelings in his heart. Which eye do you have to see that I'm developing my heart? I suggest you should gouge out that dog's eye.

Although he despised it in his heart, Reinhardt's flattery did not stop at all: "I am so surprised that Mr. Leader speaks German so fluently. It's a blessing for the Italian people to have such talent. ”

"Hahaha, yes, you know each other very well. Not only do I speak German well, but I am also fluent in English and French. Mussolini's tone was full of unconcealed joy. For this talking German Führer, he liked it from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that Mussolini didn't notice that Reinhardt's seemingly respectful gaze showed bursts of contempt and disdain from time to time.

Can speak four Chinese? That's the job of a translator, not the task of a country's leader! This can only be said to be a skill of an ordinary person, and for the leader of a country, it is not a talent to be proud of. As the prime minister of Italy, he can't sort out government affairs internally, and he can't promote national prestige externally, and only by virtue of Germany's strength can he have the capital to ride on two walls, and he is not ashamed but proud.

What really surprised Reinhardt was Mussolini's next generous statement: "Although Italy had begun to contain the French army of one million troops in the Alps for the Germans as early as the Polish campaign, this was not the end. If, in the future, Germany could defeat the Anglo-French army to the point where it would fall with one more punch, the Kingdom of Italy would be happy to strike that blow to the Germans and send a large army to destroy the million-strong French army in the Alps. ”

What the hell is there in the Alps, where there are 1 million troops? This bald head must have drunk fake wine!

Let's not talk about how ridiculous Mussolini's practice of deliberately exaggerating the number of French troops opposite the Italian army for the sake of face. I, Reinhardt, am also the head of the Third Reich, and even if I don't rely on the prophetic advantage of the traverser, I can find out what the French army in the Alps is. Is there any point in lying about such things?

Besides, the guarantee that "the Anglo-French army will fall with a single punch, and Italy will immediately send troops" is to put the entire German top brass and make him a pig in the first place? !

It's really that far, Germany doesn't know how to deal with this final blow by itself, what else do you want Italy to do?!

Holding back his disgust for this bald man's self-inflicted clever behavior, and holding the psychology that you don't make trouble, Reinhardt pretended to be Mussolini's head and flattered without a bottom line: "As the conqueror of Ethiopia and the victor of the Spanish battlefield, this final blow of the Kingdom of Italy will definitely be thunderous and shock the whole world!" ”

Mussolini thought to himself, "How can this German Führer be so likable, not only speak well, but also 'work' for himself without noticing!" ”

Reinhardt was also thinking in his heart, "Anyway, you can fight whenever you like, and you can't beat it anyway." Italy, which claims to be the strongest in southern Europe, has it ever won the battle since 1939?! ”
