At this time, Canaris was stunned, he would never be able to return to Germany, and if he, a dead national hero, betrayed Germany and betrayed Hitler, the fate of his people would definitely be sent to the concentration camp.

After reading the newspaper, Canaris's face was very quiet, and he went to bed early, but by the time the guards brought food to Canaris in the morning, Canaris had already hanged himself with the belt of his trousers.

Churchill was furious, the guard was hung up and tortured, and no useful information was found, and Canaris mysteriously hanged himself, no one knew why, but there was a man in this world who went out. That was Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun's telegram to Hitler reporting that Canaris had died honorably was doomed. Hitler personally presided over a memorial service for him, and also awarded him a medal and treated Canaris's family well, if Canaris does not die, not only Canaris will be hunted down by the world, but his family will also face extinction, Canaris will die if he does not die.

……

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 Ethiopia all over the ground.

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 is Vincent's Italian SS training, more than ten days, 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 SS Panzer 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, don't ask for it. ）

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.

When Mussolini arrived in Albania, he held a huge military parade and invited countless reporters to interview and take pictures, so that he and his Italian army could be displayed in front of the whole world in a majestic manner, and Mussolini also openly issued an ultimatum to Greece to accept the Italian garrison, and Greece of course immediately rejected Mussolini's unreasonable demands. (To commemorate the refusal to accept the ultimatum, this day is observed as a national holiday in Greece)

Greece, which was unprepared, immediately mobilized the whole country, and the existing army was transferred to the border overnight, and when the Greek army of 200,000 was already waiting on the Greek border, the Italian army was still in the barracks and did not set off, and Mussolini, who was like a stupid pig, completely lost the opportunity to attack Greece suddenly, and at the same time lost the initiative on the battlefield, if the Italian army attacked at this time, it was completely against the Greek army with perfect defense, how to fight this kind of battle, Mussolini could fight this kind of battle that did not occupy the time, the place, and the people? Is it just Mussolini, a real "stupid pig"? Don't think about it.

On December 5, 1939, Italy finally slowly rallied to the Greek border. On the morning of the 6th, Mussolini ordered 250,000 Italian troops deployed in Albania to cross the Albanian border and begin the invasion plan.

The main direction of the attack was directed towards the Bandus Mountains near the city of Ioannina, and there was some initial progress, as the Italian army crossed the Carastir River, but was quickly repulsed and driven back to Albania. The 250,000 Italian troops were pursued like sheep in front of the 200,000 Greek troops, who were much worse armed than them, and the slow end was annihilation, although Mussolini had shot more than a dozen Italian officers, but he could not prevent the collapse of the Italian army.

Within a week, the invaders in Greece were cleared, and the Italian Mussolini ordered a large reinforcement, but the southern mountains of Albania still fell into the hands of the Greek army, and the Italian soldiers were killed and 80,000 were taken prisoner. The 250,000 troops before the attack were almost half wiped out by Greece in a week, which made Mussolini furious.

By the time Mussolini mobilized 300,000 troops to reach Albania, the time was already December 20, when the cold wave came, the sky was drifting goose feathers and heavy snow, after several weeks of severe winter, the Italian army launched a large-scale counteroffensive on the entire front line on January 9, 1940, although the Italian army had an advantage in numbers and equipment, but still failed, after a week of fighting and paying the price of 30,000 casualties, Mussolini decided to stop the offensive and leave Albania after 12 days.

The defeat of Italy was due to the command of Mussolini's garbage was one aspect, the military generals did not allocate military resources enough in the operation, misjudged the winter weather, the lack of suddenness of the offensive, the lack of support from the Bulgarians, and even problems with basic equipment, such as the non-distribution of winter uniforms, while Mussolini refused to accept the advice of the military-industrial advisers. Historically, even Germany on the battlefield of the Soviet Union caused a large number of soldiers to freeze to death and frostbite because they were not issued winter clothes.

During a month's war against Italy, the Greek army eliminated the main forces of the enemy. Greece did not have its own military-industrial complex, and the supply of equipment and ammunition for the army depended on supplies from the British in North Africa and captured from the defeated Italian army. Italy suffered heavy losses in the entire Greek campaign, losing almost 200,000 men, and this kind of battle, which was hastily ordered by Mussolini, was carried out like this.

Fortunately, the Greek army did not dare to pursue the Albanian territory, allowing the remnants of the Italian army to escape. It was not that the Greek army did not want to pursue, but that the German ultimatum came, and Hitler sent a telegram to Greece very domineeringly.

"The Greek army immediately halted this pursuit, or else they will bear the consequences."

The Greek top brass immediately stopped talking and hurriedly withdrew the army fifty kilometers back and distanced itself from the Italian army. It took a telegram from Hitler to save the remaining 300,000-odd Italian troops from annihilation.

The Greek army was able to win for many reasons:

First, Greece is a war for the country, and all soldiers have the fighting spirit of forgetting their lives.

Second, the Greek army knew the Italian invasion plan in advance, and the Italian army occupied strategic points before the Italian army, leaving the Italian army entirely attacking the strong defensive line of the Greek army.

Thirdly, the secret support of Britain and France is also very important, as long as the Greek army needs it, Britain and France spared no effort to support Greece, it can be said that Britain and France helped Greece equip about half a million regular troops. In this kind of proxy war, imperialism is familiar with it.

Mussolini left the Albanian front in a gloomy state and hurriedly summoned Vincent to inquire about the situation of the Italian SS. Vincent looked at Mussolini, whose face was dark, his eyes were red, and his expression was haggard, and Mussolini was like a gambler with red eyes after losing.

"General Vincent, how is the training of our SS Panzer Corps, can we go to battle immediately?"

If Vincent was training the German ** team at this time, the soldiers drawn from the local SS would have been able to go to the battlefield after a month of armored cooperative combat training, but the Italian army, Vincent would never dare to pull the Italian SS into the battlefield at this time, a newly formed unit, the first stop must win, otherwise the military soul of this army will collapse.

It is impossible for Vincent to risk his hard-earned Panzer Army at this time, you must know that in order to buy a copycat Tiger tank, Vincent asked Mussolini to cut off three million tons of red wine imports from the Italian army, and now many Italian young masters are cursing Vincent behind his back:

"Vincent, who was raised by a bitch, can actually make a romantic Italian soldier drink without red wine, then you don't care if Lao Tzu goes to pick up girls, the gun under Lao Tzu's crotch is on Lao Tzu himself, when to release the gun, Lao Tzu is in charge, go; Brothers, find a girl to go on a date ......"
