Mussolini, of course, was not willing to accept defeat.

After asking Germany for help, Mussolini felt even more ashamed in his heart, he would never let the Germans see his jokes!

So Mussolini mobilized his army again, and the stupid Visconti-Poraska was removed from Mussolini and replaced by Lieutenant General Sodu.

However, Lieutenant General Sodu did not bring much good luck to Italy, and when the year 41 came, Italy reorganized its attack, but it was counterattacked by the Greek army, and the Greek army took advantage of the victory to enter Albanian territory and occupy the famous city of Corca.

It seems that the Greek army will be able to occupy the whole of Albania after a little more fighting, and the Italian army will have to retreat back to Italy itself!

Faced with this ending, Mussolini was simply furious!

"In the army of the Greeks, there are troops of the Finns, these Finns are so brave that they are not even afraid of the Soviets, our fighters are defeated by the Finns, not the Greeks!" A senior military officer reported to Mussolini.

Hearing this, Mussolini immediately said angrily: "Immediately protest to the Finnish side and demand that they withdraw their troops from Greece, if the Finns do not retreat again, we will declare war on Finland!" ”

The enraged Mussolini had no political considerations at this time, and was completely an angry bull.

A day later, Mussolini received a reply from the Finnish side.

"The Finns said that the Finnish army left in Greece was only three people." Ziano said.

There were only three of them, and the Finnish side was simply mocking their side, and Ziano looked at Mussolini and knew that he would definitely be angry.

Sure enough, Mussolini stood up and shouted: "Tell the Finns that these are the people I am talking about!" If these men remained in the Greek army, it would be an insult to our Italy, and we would declare war on the Finns! ”

At this time, Mussolini was extremely angry, it was these Finns who let Italy lose the battle!

"Party leader, why don't we ask Berlin for help again?" The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Badoglio, said to Mussolini.

Mussolini, who was stubborn and self-serving, would not have been the result if he had not launched a second war to invade Greece, and Badogglio had already known about the last time Mussolini went to Berlin to hit a wall, but there was no choice, the only thing they could rely on now was Germany.

Mussolini stood up, looked out the window, at the rising sun in the east, where the evil Greece was, and without looking back, he said, "Badoglio, you go to Berlin." ”

Mussolini would not run into a wall again, and he knew that he could only rely on Germany now, so it would be better to let Badogglio go.

Badoglio was stunned for a moment, go by yourself? Mussolini only met with the foreign minister of the other side, and if he went, the other party sent himself away with any officer.

However, he could not disobey Mussolini's orders, so he nodded: "Okay, then I'll go." ”

On the plane to Berlin, Badoglio's heart was worried, he was thinking that in the past few years, Italy has not made any progress, while Germany has made earth-shaking changes, Italy has hardly won, all of which is caused by Mussolini's leader.

If Mussolini's leader is gone, it would be much better to go up with a new one.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, this idea must not be known to others, otherwise, he would be at risk of being executed!

Badoglio's life is also extremely bumpy, several ups and downs in the sea, several times off the military uniform, at the beginning, he did not support Mussolini's government, as a result of leaving the army, when the Italian army invaded Ethiopia, Italy's early progress was not smooth, until Badoglio was reactivated, it was considered to be a victory.

And now, he has once again begun to retreat, and, if the invasion of Greece fails, Mussolini will certainly find another scapegoat, and as the chief of the general staff of the army, Badoglio is the most suitable, and he is afraid that he will be kicked away again.

Such thoughts constantly tormented Badoglio, who was on the plane and had a lot of worries.

When he got off the plane, he found that the German foreign minister had come to greet him personally, and after getting into the car, he walked a long way, passed many outposts, and even he was dizzy, and finally stopped.

Here, it is a secluded mountain, and the scenery is quite beautiful, you can see that there is snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, but the trees below are lush and green.

"Marshal Badoglio, please come with me, Führer Ciric is waiting for you."

After getting out of the car, before he could retract his gaze from the beautiful scenery, Badoglio heard such a sentence, which immediately made him extremely excited.

When Mussolini came, Ciric ignored him, and when he came, he was actually received by the head of Ciric, which was really a surprise.

"The Führer of Ciric." Seeing Ciric, Badogglio saluted Ciric and sat down.

Badoglio was a thin man, with two large beards, almost out of proportion to his face, and when he sat down, he sat up straight.

Ciric glanced at Badoglio for a few moments, and then said, "What do you think about the Greek war?" ”

"In this war, we were not well prepared and did not anticipate the various risks in advance, which led to the deterioration of the situation now." After thinking about it, Badoglio spoke.

"So, whose responsibility is it for all this?"

As soon as Ciric asked, Bagolio's back suddenly sweated again, he had already guessed something, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, it was terrible.

The first failure, so to speak, was Visconti's ambition, but what about the second?

The most fundamental thing is that Mussolini is arrogant and commands indiscriminately, but can this be said?

Badoglio's face turned red like this, he didn't know what to say or say, but it seemed too rude not to say it.

"Rest assured, nothing will leak here." "Marshal Badoglio, in fact, I am personally not satisfied with the current state of affairs in Italy, what we need is an Italy that can be on its own at any time, not a drag bottle, which cannot do anything well, and we Germany have to solve it." ”

"You say, who caused such a result? How did the mighty Roman Empire, with its long history, become such a weak state? Don't you want to change that? Your Excellency, I am personally very supportive of you. ”
