Chapter 196: The Style of a Great Power (Add. 1)

"I'm sorry, but Berlin thinks that everything that happened in Rome belongs to Italy's internal affairs, and we are also shocked by the death of Mussolini's leader, and we remember this senior, but we in Germany will not interfere in the political situation in Italy, which is also a sign of respect for Italy."

After entering the German embassy, Ziano approached the German ambassador, who had become allies with Italy over the years, and the German ambassador had a fairly good relationship with them here.

Ziano originally planned to ask the German side for help to stabilize the situation in Rome, and at the same time, the German side instructed him to see who in Italy dared to disagree, and even the king had to listen to the German appointment.

Who would have thought that the German side would actually mean this!

"However, if we continue to mess with Rome, it will have an impact on the whole of Europe, especially if the Greeks will take the opportunity to attack us and put Italy in danger." Ziano did not give up and continued to speak to the German ambassador.

"Yes, we also see the Greek threat, so we decided to teach the Greeks a lesson." The German ambassador said: "Italy does not have to worry about Greece. ”

Don't worry about Greece, Germany helped deal with external problems, and then let Rome continue the chaos? It's simply too... Ciano gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I know, please tell Führer Ciric that our Italian party will not disappoint Führer Ciric's expectations." ”

Ziano, who is good at speculation, wouldn't he understand the meaning of the German side, the one who wins in the end, and then make friends with Germany is enough, he must rely on his own ability!

You only have the Guards at hand, and you have to win against those who support Badoglio!

Inside the city of Rome, chaos continued.

In Berlin, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop met with the Greek ambassador in Germany.

"We want to keep peace in the Balkans." "We are concerned about the current situation in the Balkans, so we ask the Greek troops to withdraw from Albania and restore the situation before the war," Ribbentrop said. ”

The face of the Greek ambassador was ugly, and at this time, the Germans were going to rely on their strength to suppress people.

"When Italy attacked us, why didn't we see Germany come out to mediate? Now it is clear that we have won the war, and we are about to occupy the whole of Albania and drive the Italian army into the water, and at this time, Germany has stepped up? The Greek ambassador almost barely mustered up his courage and said to Ribbentrop: "We protest! ”

Now, it's different from history.

Historically, Britain has firmly controlled the Middle East, and at the same time, Britain is also giving Greece a blood transfusion and cheering it up, how could Greece almost beat Italy without the support of the British?

And Hitler also used the German army, and it took a month or two to win the war against Greece, divide Greece, and become the area controlled by the Axis powers.

At present, Germany does not intend to use force against Greece, and it is best to surrender without a fight.

"According to our steel treaty with Italy, we should have sent troops with Italy to fight Greece, and if we had sent troops as well, Mr. Ambassador, do you think we can fight Athens?"

Ribbentrop said it almost with a smile, but there was a cruel truth in his smile.

Until now, Germany has not lost! Not to mention Europe, Germany conquered cities in North Africa and soon hit the Middle East, and if Germany came to fight Greece, Greece would not be able to withstand it at all.

Greece does not have a military industry, all the weapons in Greece are imported, in fact, by now, Greece has almost been emptied.

"If Greece does not accept it, then we will control all the routes of Greece, and it will be impossible for any Greek ship transporting goods to enter the Mediterranean." Ribbentrop said: "We will also control the airspace of Greece, and it will be impossible for any Greek aircraft to leave." By the way, I forgot to tell you that our fighters, having already taken off from the aircraft carrier, are on their way to Greece, and they will protect the airspace of Greece. ”

The Greek ambassador wanted to stand up, scold the other side for his shamelessness, and use his strength to oppress people, but in the end, he still didn't.

The Germans, seizing on the soft underbelly of Greece.

In this era, it is impossible for any country to develop itself behind closed doors, trade has long been global, Greece is next to the Mediterranean, can only go to other countries by sea, if Germany closes Greece's sea gate, Greece's own economy will collapse.

Germany has the ability to do this.

"Britain used to be our enemy, and in desperation, we used a special bomb to bomb Exeter." Ribbentrop continued to press: "If Greece makes us lose patience, maybe we will also use this kind of bomb on Greek cities, such as Athens, it's a pity, in fact, we cherish the ancient city of Athens, and we don't want to see the whole of Athens in ruins!" ”

Ribbentrop has already begun to be aggressive, agree or disagree?

If you agree, then immediately withdraw your troops and return to their original territory, everything will be treated as if nothing has happened, if you don't agree, then Greece will wait for destruction, even if Germany does not send ground troops, the navy and air force will do it, Greece will not be able to withstand it!

This is the style of a strong Germany, which does not need to use force, but can make the other side unbearable by mere intimidation!

In later generations, the United States has democracy in one hand and force in the other, and the two big sticks are playing happily, but the nuclear bomb has never dared to be sacrificed and used.

The Greek ambassador's body was slowly trembling, and as a proud Greek, he wanted to refuse, but he knew that refusal meant destruction.

"Please wait a while, I need to report back to Athens." This was stated by the Greek ambassador.

"As soon as possible, our plane will soon be able to fly over Athens." Ribbentrop's words were lighthearted.

It was not long, and in less than half an hour, the Greek ambassador met with Ribbentrop again.

"We have decided to agree with your proposal, although it is a bitter fruit for us. We also ask you to keep your promise that we in Greece are peace-loving, and that we will not be afraid of war if our homeland is invaded. The Greek ambassador continued.

"Of course, we will keep our promises, and no one will dare to invade Greece." Ribbentrop continued: "Now that we can talk about other things, now that the euro has become the currency of Europe, Greece should also think about promoting it throughout the country. ”
