The Cottage Type 99 tank has a powerful 120 mm smoothbore tank gun, a road speed of 65 kilometers, and relatively strong defensive capabilities. The copycat Type 99 tank is fully in line with the category of main battle tanks, while the copycat Tiger tank can only be regarded as the category of heavy tanks, and it will be eliminated after World War II, but in World War II, the Tiger tank is still a proud existence.

"Great Chancellor, I need tanks, I need advanced German heavy tanks, not our iron tanks, I want to build an invincible SS armored force for Italy, I ask the great Chancellor to communicate with the German Führer."

Vincent is more straightforward, and he doesn't care too much about Mussolini's ** status, maybe Vincent's aristocratic status has long developed this habit, and Mussolini still likes Vincent very much, otherwise Mussolini would not spare any effort to promote Vincent. Mussolini did not mind Vincent's presumptuousness and arrogance at all.

"My general, you are now a lieutenant general, don't shout so loudly in my office, you need to pay attention to your noble identity, the army you need I have ordered to assemble, they are all selected elites and veterans of various troops, the elite of a whole army!! I am very much looking forward to my generals to bring me infinite victories and surprises. ”

Vincent had no choice, he said for a long time that the prime minister didn't mention the tanks he needed, an army of Italian elite infantry, this is not what Vincent wants, Vincent wants an armored corps equipped with five hundred German heavy tanks.

Vincent had no choice but to sit down on Mussolini's desk and muttered to himself angrily:

"I want German tanks, and I won't leave without giving me German tanks."

Vincent actually used that trick on Mussolini, Mussolini didn't want to give Vincent tanks, you must know that Italy's financial situation is very bad now, all kinds of combat material reserves are very small, to buy an army's tanks and related equipment, it is definitely a lot of expenses, Mussolini does not want to lose face in front of Hitler, go to this junior on credit.

"My general, you should know that the military procurement budget for this year and next year has been used up, and I really took out such a large sum of money to purchase so many German tanks for you."

Seeing that Mussolini began to complain to himself, Vincent hurriedly took out a purchase order from his arms, pointed to the above purchase item and said:

"Great Prime Minister, look at it, the purchase of five million tons of red wine, is this red wine also military supplies, our soldiers are not here to enjoy the troops, I suggest that this red wine be reduced or cut off."

This is not funny, in the more than three years that Italy entered the war, 30 million tons of red wine were purchased from all over the world. The packaging of a famous Italian red wine has the slogan "When you are drunk, you will not be afraid to fight". Among the supplies captured by enemy troops, there were more red wine than ammunition.

Eating and drinking well is the humorous rule of the super cute Italian army, even more than the threat of the enemy, if it's time to eat, the super cute Italian soldiers will immediately stop fighting, and then the whole army eats, even if they are captured by the enemy.

The procurement list that Vincent took out was Italy's procurement budget for next year, and the procurement of weapons and ammunition was only 40 percent, and the remaining 60 percent was in terms of food and clothing.

I don't know how elite Mussolini is looking for Vincent, how elite will be, in history in a North African campaign, a small number of British ** tanks charged at Italy's anti-tank gun positions, at the beginning, Italy also fired back, but after two or three minutes it suddenly stopped, waving a white flag and surrendering...... Afterwards, the British asked the reason, and the Italians replied confidently: The ammunition box was not opened ...... a crowbar, and the elite selected by such a super cute army was really worrying.

Mussolini really had no choice but to be entangled by Vincent, so he finally agreed to Vincent's request and reduced the purchase of red wine by half, using these funds to buy equipment for the Panzer Army, and 2.5 million tons of red wine could completely purchase the equipment of the German Panzer Army. Now that Germany has won successive victories in the war, this undoubtedly stimulated Mussolini's nerves, as the oldest French * Si * Si, Hitler can only be regarded as a little brother for Mussolini. Now the younger brother has made huge gains on the battlefield, which undoubtedly makes Mussolini very red-eyed.

Mussolini has already begun to plan to do something to some countries in Africa, the combat effectiveness of his own army, Mussolini is still very clear, Mussolini personally can not change the Italian army's funny will to fight, but there is still hope for the establishment of an army like Germany, Vincent is Mussolini's chosen general, on the one hand, Vincent's noble aristocratic blood, on the other hand, Vincent's tenacious will to fight and excellent command ability.

In order to have an invincible SS Panzer Corps like Germany, Mussolini planned to put down his old face and beg Hitler to buy Mr. Germany's heavy tanks, and Mussolini's visit to Germany was hastily decided. And Vincent's armored army can be regarded as exchanging the red wine of the Italian army, but I don't know which Italian soldiers will find Vincent desperately after knowing that their red wine has been reduced by half.

……

Vincent finally made sense that Mussolini would buy German heavy tanks for himself, and as for Mussolini's visit to Germany, it was not Vincent's concern. As soon as Vincent left Mussolini's office, he hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhang Jun, and Vincent, of course, asked his old chief to help him and try his best to facilitate the purchase.

In fact, this matter does not need Vincent to report, Zhang Jun will try his best to help, Italy's super cute army, if there is no decent army, it can only drag Germany back, Zhang Jun is not afraid of god-like opponents, he is afraid of teammates like "pigs", and "pig friends" are going to kill people. In addition, Italy is also an important part of Zhang Jun's strategic arrangement, and with these two points, Zhang Jun will do his best to facilitate this deal.

Since Mussolini agreed to Vincent to go to Germany to buy tanks, then there should be hope for this matter, so far Vincent's mood suddenly opened up a lot, and suddenly felt that the autumn air was refreshing, with such a happy mood, Vincent drove a jeep to a huge military camp outside Rome, where the newly built Italian SS was stationed, and now only three divisions were stationed here, and the elite soldiers who were drawn were just in place, and the officers at all levels were also dispatched.

In Vincent's heart, it's been more than ten days, and these elites should start military training at this time! But when Vincent drove the cart into the huge barracks, he was dumbfounded, the whole camp was full of smoke, tens of thousands of troops and countless beauties were cooking macaroni and grilling steaks on the grass of the playground, and there were dinner cloths on top of it, on which all kinds of snacks and red wine were arranged, and all kinds of laughter were endless.

"Hey! The general will come down and have a drink. ”

A beautiful woman very warmly invited Vincent to get out of the car to drink a glass of red wine, and Vincent was very helpless. smiled and rejected the beautiful woman's warm invitation.

"Miss Beauty, I am very honored to be invited by you, but I still have important things to do, and I am very sorry for Miss Beauty, and I have disappointed your hospitality."

"Giggle...... Handsome general, you are the most handsome general I have ever met, and it is a great pity that I could not invite you to lunch. ”

Vincent didn't ink with the beautiful woman, but drove directly to the telegraph room and sent a second telegram to Zhang Jun. Their discipline is even comparable to the local SS in Germany, this group of elites in Mussolini's mouth, is a pure rabble, such tens of thousands of troops put on the battlefield, Germany only needs one armored regiment to annihilate them all, Vincent, who has stayed in the German ** team, can no longer stand the romantic feelings of the Italians, they are soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield, not to come for picnics and pickles.

Vincent, who arrived at the telegraph room, immediately sent a second telegram, asking his old commander to urgently support his 6,000 to 10,000 SS veterans and officers at all levels, the obedience of the Italians was still very good, and Vincent hoped that those brave and fearless SS soldiers would lead these romantic Italian "elites".

When the dull, strict, cold, and disciplined German SS came to the Italian SS as commanders at all levels, the hard days of the Italians came. A flock of sheep under the leadership of a lion can also burst out with amazing power. You must know that the German SS always sent those who violated military discipline to a court-martial, and it was normal to shoot soldiers who violated military discipline.

Vincent, who had been in the German SS, was not at all accustomed to the warbler Yanyan here, so he had to drive out of sight and out of mind.

……

Zhang Jun received two telegrams from Vincent in one day, Vincent's two requests, Zhang Jun is fully supported, for the purchase of weapons, this Zhang Jun also intends to do his best to help Vincent, of course, those tank SS do not have, must let the Wehrmacht squeeze out 500 copycat Tiger heavy tanks to Italy, and Zhang Jun's quid pro quo is James.

Last time Zhang Jun arrested James, a spy, Zhang Jun didn't kill James for two reasons, one didn't want Britney to be sad, and Zhang Jun looked at Marshal Keitel's affection, Germany's actual second-in-command, that is, it was necessary to have a good relationship, and Kettel also sent someone to intercede alone, and James's matter Zhang Jun did not expand, even Marshal Keitel, no matter how it is said, Kettel owes Zhang Jun a great favor. If Zhang Jun deliberately wants to make things bigger, Keitel's fate will be the same as Varner's, retirement. (To be continued.) )
