This problem is easy to solve! Directly let the tank gun manufacturer produce a 47 mm 52 times diameter tank gun, so that the French Soma 35 tank is no worse than the German No. 4 tank.

Upon learning that the two Panzer Divisions integrated into his unit did not have good tanks, Rommel immediately asked Elsa's butler Davide to place an order for the production of six hundred Soma 35 tanks from a tank factory in France.

It is only May '40, and if history develops, Rommel will only go to Africa in February '41, and seven months is enough time for Rommel to arm his armored corps.

At the end of May, Speer arrived in Paris, France, where Rommel warmly received Speer, and at the same time Rommel gave Speer sufficient authority to integrate the French economy and enterprises.

Rommel is not good at the economy and the integration of enterprises, so he does not want to interfere indiscriminately, Speer's ability is very strong, this is undoubted, as long as Speer can integrate most of the French enterprises into part of the German war machine, it is a great achievement, so Rommel chose to fully support Speer's work.

Of course, he also explained to the Rothschild family in private, asking them to fully cooperate with Speer's work, and Rommel did not believe that Speer would not be able to do anything.

A few months later, when it was time for Rommel to send troops to Africa, Speer gave Rommel a huge surprise, and that's a story for later.

……

Italy in World War II should belong to the kind of country that is more funny. Their great dictator, Mr. Mussolini, was a standard scoundrel.

(Since Rommel will soon be going to Africa to fight alongside the hilarious Italian army, let's talk about this hilarious army here.) ）

Since Italy was the first country to establish a fascist regime, although it has no fart skills, it always likes to think of itself as the boss. Mussolini did treat Hitler as an apprentice and often lectured him in the tone of a teacher.

Once Mussolini said in a letter to Hitler

"No one knows more than I do, because I have more than 40 years of political experience."

The implication is that you Hitler knows a fart, and when Lao Tzu was playing politics, you still carried a porcelain basin to ask for food in Vienna!

Although Mr. Mussolini was a shocking cowhide, he began to play tricks when he encountered specific things - when Britain and France declared war on Germany, Hitler was eager for Italy to help.

Because according to the Steel Treaty signed by Germany and Italy:

"When one side is involved in a war, the other automatically enters the war."

This was a very bullish agreement, and it also proved that the Berlin-Rome axis was officially tied.

Mussolini, however, refused to admit it. His reasoning was:

"Italy will not be ready until 1942, but not now. Because our country lacks food, timber, and steel...... (Nothing is lacking anyway). If we do fight, once the British Navy blockades the Mediterranean, we will be finished. ”

Mussolini made it clear that military aid is impossible to drop, but we will support you in the spirit of dropping, Mussolini promised:

"Italian newspapers and radio will support Germany."

Mussolini at this time should be very embarrassed (if he has a sense of shame). On the one hand, he wanted to scrap the "Iron Pact" and turn against Hitler so as not to be dragged into the water.

On the other hand, he argues that democracies could repeat the Munich Treaty and that Germany could win another cheap victory. And he didn't want to lose the opportunity to share the spoils. Mussolini was torn between this psychology of gain and loss.

However, Hitler was a man of truth. Cheeky, he wrote a reply letter asking what the Italian army needed to complete its preparations. And hopefully Mussolini will make a list and see if Germany can help.

Naturally, this question was difficult for Mussolini. He wrote brilliantly, slightly changed the number of projects listed, and sent it to Hitler.

Since this list is too domineering, I have to type it out and let everyone bow down. In the words of Ziano, who participated in the preparation of the list, the list is "enough to infuriate a pig, if the pig knows the words".

The list of bids includes: 7 million tons of oil (Germany's strategic oil reserves and distribution is just that), 6 million tons of coal, 2 million tons of steel, 1 million tons of timber, 600 tons of molybdenite, 400 tons of titanium, and 20 tons of zirconium.

Again, this is just a military resource, and food and medical supplies are too cumbersome to enumerate. In addition, Mussolini needed 150 anti-aircraft guns to protect northern Italy.

It is now clear that this letter is more than a long list of supplies needed. Rather, a fascist leader who had flinched from the battle had already made up his mind to get rid of his obligations to the Third Reich.

At the end of the letter, Mussolini shamelessly wrote:

"Unless I can get these supplies, I demand sacrifices from the Italian people...... It may become futile and may damage the cause between you and me. ”

This cheap and face-saving letter made Hitler tremble with anger, and from then on he never dared to mention Italy's entry into the war.

However, things will change. In May 1940, Italy, which claimed to be fully prepared in 1942, clamored for war, and there were some who could not wait.

The victory of the German army in France made Mussolini restless. He felt that if he didn't fight at this time, he would lose the opportunity to share the victory. When the remnants of the British army began to board the ship in Dunkirk, Mussolini gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and went to war!

Mussolini:

"Ge Laozi, if you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of it, it's a bastard, brothers, Ge Laozi, brothers copy guys! Go to France to grab money, food, and women. ”

The soldiers cheered: "Long live Mussolini...... Oh yes. ”

Franco-Italian border commander: "Dudu ...... Assembled, assembled......****** where did everyone go, why didn't there be anyone. ”

The officer on duty, sweating profusely, hurried to report, and the Italian commander continued to ask:

"Where have the soldiers gone?"

"Report sir, a third of the brothers went to play football, a third of the brothers went to pick up the girl, and a third were in the girl's bed."

After the duty officer finished speaking, his pants suddenly fell to the ground, revealing white and white fart. The kid didn't even wear underwear, and the Italian commander went crazy on the spot:

"And which category do you belong to?"

"Sir, I'm in the chick bed."

"What about your panties?"

"Under the chick bed, forgot to wear it."

The Italian commander couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his leg and kicked the officer on duty to eat:

Nima...... Get lost. ”

The officer on duty was like an amnesty, and he ran away with his pants in one hand.

When the officer on duty ran away, the Italian commander also went to find a good cutie with his hands on his back, and he hummed as he went:

"I want to have a home, a family with her, during the day, at night, on the balcony, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, on the sofa...... Wake up cute. (It's pure fiction, don't take it seriously, hehe.) ）
