After a quick judgment, the pilot turned the heavy glider sharply to the left and turned on the retro again, this time the plane quickly reduced its altitude, and the nose fell in the direction of the hotel, and when the barbed wire fence around the landing skid (the purpose was to shorten the distance of the landing slide) was cut like a thin rope by the gravel on the ground, the whole plane vibrated violently and stopped only 40 meters from the hotel entrance steps.

Skorzny commanded his men to quickly rush the glider and subdue the Italian guards around the hotel, and then pushed General Soletti towards the hotel, when he saw Mussolini's face appear next to a window on the second floor, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Retreat, get out of the window." ”

And the iron-faced Soletti shouted to the Italian guards: "Don't shoot, we don't need to shed blood." ”

The Italian soldiers really didn't like to fight, and some of these guards laid down their weapons and stood still, while others fled into the mountains and forests.

When the other gliders landed one after another, Skorzny's group had already rushed into the hotel with submachine guns, first subdued the radio communicators in the hotel, and smashed the wireless communication equipment with the butts of the guns.

The Italian guards in the hotel were in a mess, and as more commandos swarmed in, the Italian soldiers raised their hands and surrendered.

Skorzny then went straight to the room where Mussolini was being held, the former ballroom of the hotel, and under Mussolini's persuasion, the two Italian officers in charge of guarding him in the room also raised their hands and surrendered without resistance.

The whole rescue process was very fast, from the landing of the first glider (No. 3) to the control of the hotel only 4 minutes, and almost no resistance was encountered, Mussolini was rescued without firing a single shot.

At this time, the bearded Mussolini was very excited, he hugged Skorzny tightly, and said in a choked voice: "I know that my old friend Hitler did not abandon me. ”

When all the situation calmed down, the gliders No. 6 and No. 7 of the commando team had just landed, and the last aircraft to land, No. 8, taxied and crashed into the bulging hillside outside the hotel, severely destroying the plane and injuring all the crew members, who were the only injured in the operation.

The success of the landing rescue made Skorzny and others very excited, and finally missed their faces, and it was still without loss of personnel.

But after rescuing Mussolini, the next task was how to get him away safely.

At this time, the cable car station had been occupied by the Germans, but there were still a large number of Italian troops on the opposite side of the valley who could not break through and descend the mountain, and since all the radio installations were destroyed, they could not communicate with the Germans, and it was not known whether the Germans had occupied the Aquila airport,

As a backup plan, Skorzny had arranged for an HS-126 aircraft to take Mussolini away before the operation, but the plane was damaged during landing, and the plane ran out of fuel and could not take off again.

The plane was specially sent by General Student to observe the rescue operation, and its pilot was the German ace pilot Captain Grach, who was also Student's adjutant and personal pilot, and when Student learned from the radio that Skorzny had succeeded, he was still a little skeptical, but he ordered Grach to find a way to help the commando,

Having received the order, Grach began to depress the flight altitude, hovering over the hill, preparing to land,

Skorzny commanded the commandos and the Italian soldiers, who had already surrendered, to push aside the glider behind the hotel and roughly trim the ground in preparation for the landing of the reconnaissance aircraft,

At this time, several German war correspondents who followed the 1st Battalion of Paratroopers to occupy the ropeway station at the foot of the mountain were allowed to come to the mountain via the ropeway, and these unknown reporters used their cameras and camcorders to record the events that followed, including the footage of Captain Grach carefully landing the plane on this temporary runway, and after the plane landed, everyone stepped forward and pushed the light plane, which could only carry two people, to the predetermined take-off position.

When it was learned that Skorzny was going to leave with Mussolini on this plane, Grach very firmly refused, because the plane was designed to carry two people, and it was doubtful that the plane would be able to take off if it carried a 90-kilogram Mussolini and a commando captain weighing the same 90-kilogram.

But after Skorzny insisted that he personally escort Mussolini to safety, and hinted that it was Hitler's instructions, Grach relented,

The 12 commandos stood at the tail of the plane and dragged it tightly until Grach raised his arms to signal that the engine was ready to take off, and the plane sped up and down in the makeshift clearing, almost hitting a large rock, but under the maneuvering of the experienced Grach, the plane staggered into the sky, circled around the hotel, and then flew straight to Platica Airport outside Rome.

After landing safely, Skorzny escorted Mussolini on a He-111 plane to Vienna, and Operation Oak was completed.

After Mussolini arrived in Vienna, with the help of the German army, he began to establish power in northern Italy, because there was more time, Mussolini flew to Munich on the 19th, where he met his wife and two children who had fled Italy,

On December 22, Mussolini established the "Italian Social Republic", also known as the "Republic of Salo", a puppet regime completely controlled by the Germans in Salou, northern Italy.

Skorzny received a heroic welcome in Vienna and Berlin, and he became famous overnight, of course he was directly promoted to colonel, which was instructed by Hitler, and the special forces he led were expanded several times.

Radio stations across Europe were broadcasting news about the rescue over and over again, and his name appeared in the newspapers in the largest bold font.

Although the rescue of Mussolini itself was not of great strategic significance to Germany, the German propaganda department clearly recognized the huge propaganda effect of this operation, and under their vigorous exaggeration, Skorzny became a well-known German combat hero, and Goebbels also sent a film crew to the Great Sasso Mountain to reshoot the rescue process,

The German propaganda propaganda focused on promoting Germany's attitude of never giving up and never abandoning its allies, even if the allies contributed little to Germany, and in fact German propaganda was very successful.

Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria are more closely revolved around Germany, for Germany to drive,

And the face of the allies, especially the Americans, is a little unbearable, but he shamelessly betrayed the interests of Britain and France in the Pacific, as well as the interests of the governments and people of Australia and New Zealand.

Although the United States has given compensation, there are some things that cannot be repaired after they have happened, and the people of the allies will remember this from the Americans, and the Americans can resettle Australians because there are few Australians.

But if such a thing happens to France and Britain one day, will the Americans still resettle, obviously not, the Americans will not take care of tens of millions of non-Americans.

Of course, Germany also took advantage of this to disgust Japan, and Germany and Japan broke off diplomatic relations, Hitler was very reluctant from the day of the alliance, he has always looked down on the Japanese monkeys who can only fish on the seaside,

If it weren't for the fact that China was too chaotic at that time, the ideal alliance object in his mind was China, but now it's not bad, China is still back,

As for Japan's courage to abandon Germany and compromise with the United States alone, it is really unforgivable, originally Ribbentrop suggested not to break off diplomatic relations with Japan to avoid provoking Japan, but Hitler refused without hesitation, it is enough for Germany to have China, when the Japanese confront the United States, they can still contain the United States, and now they have made peace with the United States, is Japan still useful to Germany?

Japan and Germany are either separated by the Pacific Ocean, the American continent, the Atlantic Ocean, or the Eurasian continent, whether it is China or the Soviet Union in between, the strength is far stronger than Japan, as far as Japan's cross-eyed appearance can threaten Germany, besides, Hitler never thought that even if Japan really fought with Germany face to face, what could Germany do, it would definitely be defeated, Hitler was very confident that a division of German troops could deal with at least 5 Japanese troops who would only be able to charge long live,

Originally, I was going to wait for Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union to clean up and then clean up the revenge of Japan for the First World War, but now it is just time to kick out Japan, and it will be more convenient to find a reason when the time comes.

After Japan was abandoned by Germany, they were still very disappointed, Germany has always been an insurmountable peak in their eyes, just like the status of China in their hearts before the Qing Dynasty, now that they have been abandoned, they naturally feel uncomfortable, which is clearly looked down upon.

However, they soon forgot about it, and instead plunged into the intense mass immigration, as soon as the United States and Japan signed the peace treaty, Japan organized manpower and material resources to prepare for the great migration to Australia.

Now there is almost no resistance in the Pacific, and the Americans have agreed to the demands of whites all over Oceania, so these people no longer resist, anyway, they can't fight, and the Yankees are willing to take them in, so why stay here and wait for death,

And Britain and France can only protest in the face of the actions of the Japanese, strictly speaking, they are still hostile countries with Japan, the Japanese are too lazy to bird them, and they have no way, those strategic ships of Britain have no ability to resist in front of Japan's aircraft carrier battle group, so Britain chooses to forbear, France is even more so, the German threat is the most important thing to solve now, it is finally recovered, they don't want to fall for the second time, it doesn't feel good to be a slave of the country,

The Americans are gone, Britain and France are out of reach, China is busy fighting the Sino-Soviet war, of course, the main thing is that China's naval strength cannot compete with Japan, so the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean have completely become Japan's world, and China's navy basically stays near the shore and rarely goes out,
