However, the attack on Moscow was postponed for four weeks, which was caused by the Soviet political commissar inciting the soldiers to resist stubbornly, and the Germans were blocked in Kiev for four whole weeks. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Germany was successful in tactics, the Battle of Kiev could only increase Germany's strategic superiority on a small scale, because its main purpose, the decisive victory in the war was not achieved, and Stalin, with the full support of Britain and the United States, could continue to bounce.

Stalin, taking advantage of the time that Kiev bought for him, had already organized a defense system of a million troops in the direction of Moscow, and weapons and equipment were continuously sent by Britain and the United States, not to mention that the military industry of the USSR was not bad.

When the Soviet troops paid huge losses, they bought time to defend Moscow,

Moreover, the Soviets had learned the lesson of this and other encirclement battles, and they would do their best to avoid being surrounded by the Germans in the subsequent Battle of Moscow.

The Soviet army was beaten smartly by Germany, they learned about war in the war.

……

Mussolini has always felt uncomfortable these days, and he thought that he was just occasionally feeling cold, so he didn't take this feeling to heart at all.

In fact, Mussolini was not happy, when Italy launched a war with foreign countries, Italy did not come out of the Great Depression.

Mussolini wanted to use the way of plundering other countries to let Italy survive the economic crisis of his own country, but Mussolini's troops suffered defeat without accident, and Italy had to turn to Germany for help.

This was true in Greece, but it was also true in Africa, where Germany helped Italy repel the enemy, but these lands were also occupied by Germany.

The Italian dictator Mussolini originally wanted to use the war to make a fortune, but the result was that he lost his wife and lost his army, and Italy has not reaped the slightest benefit since entering the war.

This result was undoubtedly a deep blow to Mussolini's rule in Italy, and many Italians began to be dissatisfied with Mussolini's rule.

Organized demonstrations broke out one after another in Italy, and the Italian dictator Mussolini urgently sent troops to suppress the demonstrations in a city in Italy.

Mussolini, the dictator, could not have completely withdrawn himself from the stage of history, and he made territorial claims to Germany at the instigation of a group of think tanks.

Mussolini demanded that Germany return all Libya and Egypt to Italy, that is, for the oil of Libya and Egypt, and as long as there were oil revenues from these two countries, all Mussolini's predicament would be solved.

Will Führer Rommel give Libya and Egypt back to Italy? That's absolutely impossible! Libya and Egypt now produce more than 80 percent of Germany's oil.

If Germany gave Egypt and Libya to Italy, then Germany would have no source of oil, even if Germany could buy it with money.

The Führer Korommel had already used the money of Germany and the occupied territories for the production of weapons and equipment, so what did Germany use to buy oil from Italy? Germany simply does not have extra money to buy oil.

Rommel might not have made up his mind to kill Mussolini if he hadn't spoken out in public against Germany, but Mussolini had sent 300,000 troops to the Libyan border.

The Axis Alliance was originally a loose alliance, and many countries joined the Axis Powers voluntarily or by force for the sake of Germany's great martial arts, so the Axis Powers did not have much cohesion at all.

Mussolini, the initiator of the Iron Alliance, actually stabbed Germany in the back when Germany was in a fierce war with the Soviet Union, and in any way, Rommel had to kill Mussolini in order to make an example of the monkey.

General Edward, who followed Rommel to learn to fight in Africa, became the executor, and it was King Emmanuel III of Italy who gave the execution order to Mussolini, and Rommel executed Mussolini, the Italian prime minister, justifiably.

Three SS divisions sent by Italy to the Soviet Union were traveling by train day and night to Rome, the capital of Italy, while Mussolini was also in Rome to meet with journalists from various countries, and at a press conference, he continued to make high-profile demands for the return of Libya and Egypt by Germany.

If Führer Rommel did not accede to his demands, he would withdraw from the Axis and join the Atlantic Charter Allies, and open all Italian territory, territorial waters, and airspace to Britain and the United States.

Even if Britain and the United States did not send ground troops to Italy, they could send some tactical air forces to blow up several heavy industrial areas in Germany.

Mussolini was really not stupid, he knew that he could not defeat Germany, and he wanted to blackmail Germany through betrayal, so as to gain countless benefits, but Mussolini was an indecisive person, and he did not want to betray the invincible and invincible Germany at this moment.

He wanted to blackmail Germany through this trick, and Germany's main forces were now fighting in the Soviet Union, and Mussolini estimated that the new German Führer would definitely agree to his request, otherwise he would really join the side of the Allies.

On June 1, 1941, Mussolini made a public speech and made territorial claims to Germany at the conference, to which the German Führer Rommel did not respond.

The next day, Mussolini held a press conference, at which Mussolini declared that if Germany did not return the territory, he would go to war against Germany, and Mussolini immediately sent troops to Africa.

When Mussolini learned of this, he was furious and scolded the more than 100,000 Italian troops stationed in Libya and Egypt:

"Even if it's 100,000 pigs, the Germans can't catch them in half a day!"

On June 5, Mussolini, knowing that he could not get Libya and Egypt by force, held a second press conference, this time in a changed tone, saying that he was considering withdrawing from the Iron Alliance and then joining the Atlantic Alliance.

This news immediately gave the whole world a bombshell, and the governments of the world applauded and warmly welcomed the entry of Italy, which is almost all Atlantic allies, such as Britain and the United States.

There are those who curse the Italian government for its perfidy, these countries are mainly the Axis powers, and the rest are silent, Germany is at the peak of its military force at this time, and these countries are very interesting.

The leaders of Britain and the United States were overjoyed to hear that Italy was going to join the side of the Central Powers, and they immediately sent envoys to Rome overnight to negotiate with Mussolini.

Mussolini, on the other hand, asked the Allies to provide great assistance to Italy, such as 5,000 state-of-the-art P40 aircraft, 6,000 Sherman medium tanks, 100,000 tons of aluminum alloy, 5 million tons of fuel oil, and so on.
