Tiertini knew exactly what Dinakkale was here for.

With the strength of the city of Turin, it was difficult to resist the all-out attack of the 8th Army, and they had to come up with some way to solve the current difficulties, and they were obviously their breakthrough.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to help the rebels, but he also had family, and his family was in Rome.

"Mani, my friend." As soon as he saw General Tiltini, Dinakale greeted him with a spring breeze on his face and hugged the general: "I think you must know the purpose of my visit." ”

"Yes, my friend." Tiltini smiled and said, "Are you ready to surrender?" Ah, in the shoes of a friend, I can guarantee your life. ”

"Look, where do you think you're going?" Dinakale was also smiling there: "The uprising has just begun, the Republic of Turin has just been formed, do you think we will surrender?" No, on the contrary, I am here to persuade you to take the side of the revolutionaries......"

Tiltini laughed out loud: "You have a good sense of humor, friend. My tanks can crush the fragile positions at any time, and my artillery can destroy Turin. But what did I do not do that? For my heart tells me not to slaughter my own people...... However, I must tell you that Commander Donani of the 8th Army has given me a death order, and if you still refuse to surrender to-morrow, I will have to carry out the commander's order and take your city completely. ”

"Then you will become the greatest sinner in Italy......" Dinakale was not in the slightest intimidated by the other party: "You will be ruined, you must admit it." You will become the general that everyone in the Italians spits on. You have to admit it, too. Your family, will suffer the cold eyes of all Italians and then live their lives in shame...... Are you really willing to do that? ”

Tiltini fell silent...... As he himself said. He was not willing to turn himself into an executioner......

"Look, our disagreement is in our attitude towards this." The change in the general's expression did not hide the slightest hint from Dinakale: "I know your attitude, and I also know that you are an upright person, and you will not allow your hands to be stained with the blood of your compatriots. Not today, not tomorrow, not for the rest of my life. Mani, my loyal friend. Please join us, we are more eager than ever for you to join us......"

Psim brought them a drink and interjected, "What you said was so light-hearted. Mr. Dinakale. The general's family was in Rome, could he have given them up? You are fighting for freedom, and the general and I sympathize with you, but this sympathy is not based on sacrificing your own family......"

"Yes. We don't want to sacrifice anyone. Dinakale quickly said, "So." Our allies have already launched a rescue effort for your family, and if all goes well, they will be in safety by this time tomorrow. ”

"What?" Tiltini was taken aback, unable to believe what he had heard: "You are rescuing my family?" Your allies? Who is it? ”

"That's a group of big men with great wealth and power...... Dinakale said lightly, "Do you really think that we will revolt unprepared?" Or do you think we don't have any chance of success? I think there's a big problem with your judgment. I can honestly tell you that we are not alone, we can achieve our dreams. Moreover, the weapons and ammunition that we need, our allies will also be delivered to Turin soon......"

Tiltini shook his head. He couldn't believe what the other party said...... Judging by all the information, the Turin uprising was a relatively fortuitous event. If, as they say, they have a strong alliance, then the situation should not be the way it is.

Dinakale was completely able to understand the other party's doubts: "I don't have to hide anything from you anymore, did you see the bombing of the Air Force?" No matter how old the plane is, it is impossible to drop bombs so aimlessly, maybe the great dictator of Rome does not understand anything, but as a professional soldier, do you think of something? ”

Lieutenant General Tiltini fell silent...... Yes, as a professional soldier, he has long discovered the existence of the Air Force. General Enise, who had fought in the Second World War, was a veteran soldier at Manis Air Base, and he could not have made the mistake of not even hitting Turin with a single bomb.

Vittorio. Mussolini didn't understand military affairs, he didn't understand anything at all, and it was easy to fool him, but a real soldier could not be fooled.

Could it be that General Enisei was bought by these insurgents? No, the insurgents don't have that much ability, or maybe the powerful allies they say really exist.

If that's the case, then things start to get complicated......

"I can have planes bomb your barracks tomorrow......" Dinakale began his own intimidation: "We are not alone, more and more true patriots will join us. What about you? Are you a true patriot? Are you willing to be bombed? ”

"No, I don't want to see that happen." Tiltini's face darkened: "What do you need me to do?" ”

"I've already said it, join us." Dinacarle repeated his words again: "For the revolution, but also for the future of Italy." You can't do both, Donani won't let you go, and Vittorio won't let you go. You have to have your own only choice......"

Tiltini picked up his pipe, lit it, and took a deep breath.

This is not a trifle, but a betrayal. If the revolution can succeed, then he will be a meritorious feat. But what if the revolution fails?

He and his family will be forced into exile......

At this time, Pismo spoke: "General. I have followed you for a long time, and I know that you are as sympathetic to the insurgents as I am, and I know what you are worried about. But. As we have just discussed, what did Italy become the way it is? How far do we want our country to fall? Can't we really change all that? Donani is Vittorio's lackey, but why doesn't he come to the battlefield himself to order us to attack? Because he is just as unwilling to take responsibility. Wanton slaughter, even if successful, will leave us with a shame that we will never be able to erase. The real executioner, on the other hand, gets away with it, and the responsibility is all on your own. I think we can make a choice. But I can assure you. Whatever choice you make, I'm firmly on your side......"

Tiltini's gaze fell on his best friend: "Do you approve of me joining their team?" ”

Psim nodded without hesitation......

"I hope you can keep my family safe." Tiltini was quick to make his request, and received an affirmative answer. The lieutenant general put down his pipe: "If the revolution fails and I am really forced to go to the gallows, then I think I am the ...... who left this world with a smile."

"Thank you, Mani. My friend. Dinakale was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would actually succeed.

The defection of the 82nd Panzer Division would change the passive situation of Turin to a great extent.

The dawn of the victory of the revolution may not be far off......

．．．．．．

On March 30, 1966, after the outbreak of the Great Uprising in Turin, a seismic event occurred within the 8th Army, which had been ordered to carry out the task of suppression.

On the morning of that day, the commander of the 82nd Panzer Division, Lieutenant General Tiltini, addressed the nation.

"I am a patriot, I was, and I am, loyal to my country. It's unmatched by anyone. I love this country to the same extent that no one can match......" The lieutenant general said in his opening remarks:

"On the soil of our country. Some major changes are taking place, such as the Republic of Turin. I received a message from the leader Vittorio. The orders of Mr. Mussolini, and the commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, General Donani, who ordered me to brutally suppress the insurgents. However, when I came to the front, I found many real things...... The rebels of Turin, they are not traitors, they are true patriots like me! They love this country immensely, and they are worried about the future of this country. They were destitute, and they initially wanted to fight for their survival by marching, but our government rejected their reasonable demands and issued the order to suppress them as soon as possible...... I believe that no one will give up all their strength to survive, and it is under such circumstances that the great uprising broke out......

Should we slaughter our own people, or should we listen to their suffering? Should we let our hands be covered with blood, or should we keep our people alive? Should we concentrate our wealth in the hands of a few, or should we allow every Italian citizen to live with dignity? I think any upright, moral person will make the right choice for himself......

As an Italian general, as an Italian, I will not turn my guns on my countrymen. So I decided to lead my army, join the ranks of the insurgents, and give everything I have for this country! I will receive accusations, I will even be sentenced to death by a military court, but I do not regret it because I know very well what I am doing...... Like all the insurgents, I am not a traitor, I, the Tiltini, will be the greatest patriot! ”

I, Tiltini, will be the greatest patriot!

Lieutenant General Tiltini's speech, as well as the battlefield defection of the 82nd Panzer Division, shook the whole of Italy at once!

This is a rare scene in the history of Italy, and it is a shocking scene!

A whole panzer division has defected!

The insurgents cheered their victory as if they had just won a great victory on the battlefield. And the commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, Donani, was on the verge of collapse.

Half an hour after Lieutenant General Tiltini spoke, Donani was attacked by Vittorio. Mussolini's harshest reprimand, the leader scolded him for dozens of minutes. Then the 8th Army must leave and attack, completely annihilating those who betrayed and rioted.

Donani is caught between a rock and a hard place...... After the mutiny of the 82nd Panzer Division, only one 8 Infantry Division and one motorized brigade remained of the 19th Army. With such a force. There is no competition with Turin.

He had to face countless insurgents, the 82nd Panzer Division and, of course, the Itagu Infantry Division stationed in Turin!

Even with the same amount of strength, he couldn't guarantee victory, not to mention that they were far inferior in strength now.

Donani was picked up by the leader, and he thanked the leader for his kindness. But now he had to think about his future.

He had never been worried when he received the order to suppress them, and it seemed to him that the riots would have been put to rest in a day. However. Now he is in such a predicament.

The rioters—ah, no, it might be more appropriate to call them revolutionaries. The power of these revolutionaries is rapidly gaining strength, and the flames of revolution will soon spread throughout Italy. No one can deny that......

Will Vittorio still be able to sit comfortably on his throne? If he falls. So what should you do?

The revolutionaries who have seized power will not let themselves go.

Perhaps, it's time to think of a way out for yourself...... Like Tiltini, becoming a "patriot" or a very good choice......

Driven by this mentality, Donani did not immediately launch an attack on Turin, but secretly made contact with the Republic of Turin while inquiring about the movements of Rome.

Who doesn't think more about their future?

News from Rome soon arrived, and a wave of massive protests and solidarity with the Republic of Turin was spreading uncontrollably throughout Italy. The Allied side was slow to make any statement about the situation in Italy. That's the most worrying thing.

With the full support of the Allies, especially the United States, Donani would not hesitate to remain on the side of the Italian leadership.

But now the attitude of the United States is too ambiguous......

Donani knew exactly what it was about. Italy's poor performance on the battlefield has long caused serious dissatisfaction among the Americans. Coupled with the destruction of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Division of the US Army, the Americans felt even more angry, and the secret investigation of Italy had already begun.

Great dictator Vittorio. Mussolini's position was already in jeopardy.

Even if he is like this, can he still guarantee the future of his subordinates?

Donani was completely shaken......

Contacts with the "Republic of Turin" were quite smooth, and Turin nevertheless sent Dinakale as a negotiator, in which Dinakale, on behalf of Turin, welcomed General Donani's uprising, promised him a suitable place in the Republic, and assured that he would be an Italian meritorious service after the success of the revolution.

At the same time, the gift to Donani also included a check for half a million dollars.

Listening to the other party's conditions and looking at the check in front of him, Donani took a deep breath.

These are all things that leaders cannot give to themselves......

"Am I a patriot?" Donani asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"Yes, there is no doubt that you are a great patriot." "And the whole country knows that you are a great patriot," said Dinakkale with great certainty. The revolution needs your coming, Marshal Donani! ”

"What do you call me?" Donani was taken aback.

"Marshal Donani!" Dinakale was very sure of his name: "After a study and decision of the Supreme Council of the Republic, you will be awarded the title of Marshal of the Republic!" ”

Donani was satisfied, and Donani was completely relieved.

On March 31, 1966, the day after the 82nd Panzer Division declared an uprising, the commander-in-chief of the Italian 8th Army, Donani, also declared an uprising and joined the "Republic of Turin"!

The President of the Republic of Turin, Catadona, immediately declared Donani a patriot, awarded him the title of Marshal of the Republic, and appointed him Chief of the General Staff of the newly created General Staff Headquarters Department.

Another "patriot" was born.

In the newly created Ministry of Defense and the General Staff Headquarters, Marshal Congio rightfully became the hungry Minister of Defense, and the post of Chief of the General Staff was stolen by the speculator Donani.

As for the real insurrectionist, Manosia and his comrades were ruthlessly abandoned.

What is Revolution? This is called a revolution.

No one cared what Manusia and his comrades thought, and even the rebels thought it would be more appropriate for someone like Catadona to lead the Republic of Turin, rather than Manusia, who had no political experience from a civilian background.

This has been the case with countless revolutions throughout history. So the real success is not a revolutionary like Manusia, but a "patriot" like Cartadona or Donani:

A bunch of opportunistic politicians!

When the uprising did succeed, Manicia and his companions would soon be forgotten, and perhaps killed. Then, Cartadona and his speculative friends could enjoy the countless enthusiastic cheers of the citizens. They will forever be recorded in history as any great man in history.

What is sad is not whether the revolution will fail, but what is sad is the unspeakable thing behind the success of the revolution.

The revolution in Italy has seen the dawn of "victory"! (To be continued......)
