Chapter 277: Invincible Italy

"My teacher, how do you feel about how our paratroopers are being used this time?"

At this time, Li Mo was in high spirits, excited and a little lonely, of course, Rommel was also smiling, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Li Mo:

"Li Mo, in this Wiesel exercise, you have used the paratroopers to the extreme, and at the same time have achieved unparalleled brilliant achievements, it seems that the role of this paratrooper is to cooperate with our super blitzkrieg, then the power of our super blitzkrieg will have unprecedented attack power, but unfortunately those three elite paratrooper divisions are the command, we can't intercept them, hey...... It's a shame. ”

"Huh...... My commander, you seem to be disappointed in what you said, I said that we can keep these three paratrooper divisions, do you believe it? ”

"Ah!! It's great that you can keep three paratrooper divisions, but the high command probably won't want to. ”

Li Mo saw that Rommel had not yet opened his mind, so he had to tell Rommel directly:

"My Commander!! Let's use Denmark and Norway to exchange for the three paratrooper divisions of the high command, no matter how you say it, the command has taken a big advantage, and our Seventh Panzer Army has suffered a big loss, in fact, we can't be so insatiable at all, holding all the benefits in our arms, and we must give up some major benefits to the high command, understand? We clearly gave the benefits to the Command, and the Command should also show it a little, so they gave us the paratrooper division we borrowed, do you think the grandsons of the Command can withstand such a temptation? ”

"No, the command will definitely change."

"That's not a solution. Our battlefield is not here, what do you want this Denmark and Norway to do. Now these two countries are chicken ribs for the Seventh Panzer Army, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, it is better to exchange it with something useful, so that it is worth the money.

In addition, our contribution this time is not small, I will operate the expansion of the Seventh Armored Army into a group army, teacher, you just wait to recognize the commander of the group army! ”

"Ahh

……

Limer's telegram soon reached the German High Command, and Field Marshal Keitel did not dare to make up his mind, and Führer Keitel really did not dare to decide such a big matter privately. Hurriedly called the other commanders-in-chief of the army, navy and air force. Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch, Navy Commander-in-Chief Raeder, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Catherine, several people found a small conference room. Close the door and start a secret discussion.

"Look at this telegram. It was sent secretly by Li Mo. He wants to hand over control of Denmark and Norway to our command, and it seems that this kid is still very interesting, but the kid wants us to lend us the three paratrooper divisions under his command. At the same time, the 7th Panzer Army was formed, and everyone shared their views. ”

This time, it was the commander-in-chief of the army who said it first, in fact, Brauchitsch still admires Li Mo very much, and Germany just needs young people like Li Mo to have momentum. It seems that there have been some changes in the perception of the German Seventh Panzer Army within the High Command, which is mainly due to the crazy achievements of the German army and the fighting style of daring to gamble for their lives, which makes people look sideways.

"Well, this deal is a big advantage for us, the control of these two countries is very important, resources and manpower can add our strength, and of course our additional subsidies will be a little more, so I agreed to exchange."

"Our navy also agreed to exchange that as long as we control Denmark and Norway, our warships and submarines will be free to enter and exit the Atlantic, which is too important for the German navy."

"Since everyone agrees, let's call back! Let's just say that we are all for Germany, and we agreed in principle to the application for the formation of the 7th Panzer Army, but this requires the approval of the Führer. ”

……

Germany's great success also stimulated one person, that is, Mussolini, a blind and arrogant guy, his ally Germany, first Austria, the Czech Republic, then Poland, and now Denmark and Norway, Germany's great success made Mussolini unable to suppress his fanatical desire and decided to invade Greece.

Now Italy has actually fallen into the quagmire of war, hundreds of thousands of Italian troops are wandering around the mountains of Ethiopia, those romantic and funny Italian troops, where the opponents of the mountain guerrillas, are often beaten by the indigenous people of Ethiopia to find their teeth.

Beginning in 1935, when Mussolini announced the annexation of Ethiopia. After that, the Ethiopian War of Resistance entered the stage of guerrilla warfare. The Ethiopian military and civilians summed up their experiences and lessons, analyzed the situation between the enemy and us, and resolved to take advantage of the plateau, desert, and other geographical conditions to carry out guerrilla warfare. The patriotic armed organizations 'Black Lions Club' and 'Solidarity and Cooperation Committee' were established one after another. 、

The emperor established a provisional government in Gori on behalf of Duke Imru, and led the rest of the northern front and the local guerrillas to persist in the war of resistance. The guerrillas in various places often attacked the Italian army garrisons, bombed warehouses, cut off communications and communications, and smashed the Italian army's 'encirclement and suppression' on many occasions. By the beginning of 1939, the partisans had grown to 400,000 men, forcing 250,000 Italian occupation troops to retreat around large and medium-sized cities and along major lines of communication.

Italy has been struggling for more than four years in the quagmire of war in Ethiopia, spending 12 billion lire on the war and nearly 200,000 Italian soldiers in Italy. Under such circumstances, Mussolini actually wanted to invade Greece, and Mussolini did not weigh his own weight.

How long does Vincent's Italian German armored division train, more than ten days, and the time it takes to get rid of Vincent's integrated troops, the real training time will not exceed five days, in this case, Vincent will not let his armored troops go to the battlefield anyway, for Mussolini's inquiry, Vincent told Mussolini bluntly that his Italian German armored division armored corps needs at least three months of training.

But Mussolini couldn't wait, Mussolini couldn't bear to be ignored as an old Nazi, he needed to prove his leadership skills, and he needed to gain more power and voice in the world to come.

Mussolini was annoyed that German leader Hitler had not asked him about his war policy, and wanted his independent military action to demonstrate Italy's military might. So Mussolini wanted to prove his superior leadership and Italy's invincibility through the conquest of Greece, (a country that he thought was easy to defeat, pigs laughed, Italy's invincibility, O Nima!). Don't cheat like this. )

On November 27, 1939, Mussolini personally flew to Albania to inspect the Italian army, in fact, Mussolini came to personally command the Italian army to invade Greece, Albania is an Italian colony, bordering Greece, both countries are Mediterranean coastal countries.
