Chapter 722: Be generous to your allies

In Paris, it was drizzling.

When the plane landed at the Paris airport, Mussolini looked at the welcoming procession, which consisted of only a few German diplomats.

As the de facto ruler of Italy, he came to meet with Ciric, which was originally a big event, but now, as if the German ceremony, was not so grand.

At the very least, the foreign minister has to welcome him, right?

Thinking of this, Mussolini was even more unhappy, he stepped off the plane, saw the German personnel who had come to greet him, and without saying a word, got into the car.

The light rain outside the car window always made Mussolini's heart haunted with a faint sadness.

Originally, Mussolini was the most dazzling figure in the whole of Europe, and when he carried out the revolution in Italy, Hitler and Ciric were still his students!

I remembered that in the past, Hitler and Cirek went to see him, and at that time, he was still on top.

But what about now?

All over Europe, Germany has always been in the limelight, and now, Germany has conquered the European continent!

Germany's strong military peak, directed at Britain, after defeating Britain, Ciric also established an immortal feat!

And Italy, what are they doing?

They want to do something big in North Africa, and the result? Defeated by the British, they wanted to attack France from the south when France was about to lose, but they were beaten back by France.

In this war, Italy is simply playing the role of soy sauce.

Nothing!

"Party leader, it's here." A voice sounded in his ears, and Mussolini saw that there was a manor house in front of him, and sure enough, Ciric did not set up his palace in a palace in Paris, but here, keeping it as secret as possible.

Mussolini got out of the car and walked in step by step, until now, he still has fire in his heart, even if he didn't go to the airport to greet him, now he has arrived at the door, standing at the door to greet him, it's always okay, right?

No, there was no one at the door, only the tall and handsome soldiers of the SS standing guard.

Where is Ciric?

Soon, Mussolini got the answer.

On the other side of the conference room, a voice came: "We can't delay any longer, within this week, we must cross the channel and land on the British mainland!" ”

Germany's front is now very long, they want to cross the English Channel, it is not so easy, Ciric is definitely presiding over a military meeting, no wonder he did not greet himself.

Thinking of this, Mussolini was relieved, in fact, he didn't think that this was just him looking for himself to get under the stairs.

"Party leader, have you arrived?" Seeing Mussolini standing at the door, Ciric put down the command pole in his hand and walked over to Mussolini: "I'm sorry, the military is too busy to go to greet him in person." ”

"It doesn't matter." Mussolini said: "Now it is important to command the battle, and it seems that the war in Britain is already on the way." ”

Mussolini's eyes were also looking at the arrows above, and those arrows were pointing at Dover.

It seems that, as is rumored in the outside world, Germany will start from Calais, cross the narrowest English Channel, and advance towards England on the opposite side.

Suddenly, Mussolini's eyes widened, and this large-scale map indicated not only the European battlefield, but also the North African battlefield!

Looking at that long front, Mussolini couldn't believe his eyes, Germany's appetite was really big! The whole Middle East will be occupied by Germany!

Wait, what about Italy?

Thinking of this, Mussolini couldn't help but speak: "FΓΌhrer Ciric, I am here this time mainly for the issue of army command in the North African battlefield. ”

As soon as Rommel went to North Africa, he was just in time for the plane crash of Italy's commander-in-chief of North Africa, and as a result, the Italian troops in North Africa could only temporarily obey Rommel's command and march forward together.

This made Mussolini quite unhappy, after all, in Mussolini's eyes, Egypt should be Italy's fat, but it can't be cheap Germany!

"Command in North Africa?" Hearing Mussolini's words, Ciric repeated as if he had never thought about it: "Does this need to be said? Of course, it was General Rommel who commanded the entire army in North Africa, and didn't we come to an agreement? ”

Hearing this, Mussolini was stunned for a moment, when did he agree?

At the beginning, according to the agreement, the Germans fought in the west and the Italian army fought in the east, and after that, the Germans have been fighting Germany without taking into account the French colonies in the west, but now, France has surrendered, Germany does not have to fight, and those colonies are considered to be conquered.

However, in the East, the Italian army suffered a defeat, so he asked Germany to send troops into the North African theater to help fight the British army.

At that time, I didn't say that I wanted a German general to be the commander-in-chief?

"Is it possible to beat the British army with an army like Italy?" At this moment, among the German generals below, I don't know who made such a voice.

Hearing this, Mussolini's old face turned red.

In the eyes of a group of German generals, is the Italian army really so unbearable?

Mussolini wanted to fight back, but he didn't know what to say, considering that in recent years, there are really no good examples to come up, but he will never give up when he is humiliated like this.

"The combat effectiveness of the Italian army is somewhat poor, but I believe that with the help of our German instructors, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army will be able to improve rapidly and reach the same level as ours." Just then, Ciric spoke.

When he heard this, Mussolini's mind suddenly went into a trance.

German instructors? Let the Germans serve as instructors for their own army? Is that appropriate? Could it have given Germany control of the Italian army?

However, the second half of the sentence made Mussolini's heart warm.

At the same level as the German army, now, the combat effectiveness of the German army is recognized throughout the European continent, and France, which is known as the first power in Europe, surrendered in a few days!

If it achieves the same combat effectiveness as Germany, then the Italian army will be able to dominate the world!

"We have always been generous to our allies." "We really hope that the Italian army can fight alongside us and not hold back," Ciric said. ”

For Italy, Germany is really good enough, Italy has been procrastinating, and only when France is about to be taken down can it be regarded as a declaration of war on France, but it was beaten by the French.

However, when France surrendered after the war, the Germans generously demanded that France cede part of their southeastern territory to Italy as war reparations!

The Italian navy did not do much, but after the end of the war, they gained control of the entire eastern Mediterranean, and fought with the French navy for so long without any benefit, as a result, Germany generously won enough benefits for Italy.

Germany was generous to its allies.
