The Great Turin Uprising has broken out!

It was an uprising that no one had anticipated before, it was just an ordinary protest. But when Wang Weiyi intervened, everything changed.

Turning what was not an opportunity into an opportunity is what Wang Weiyi is best at.

As mayor of Turin, Catadona couldn't imagine what was going on, and he was involuntarily involved in the uprising.

Dinacale, Giorgio, Congio, almost all of them betrayed Cartagona. In fact, to be precise, it can't be said to be a betrayal, it just dragged Catadona into this troubled water completely.

The establishment of the "Republic of Turin" was somewhat sudden, but it was also inevitable. And at this time, Cartadona must make his own choice:

Whether to embrace the "Republic of Turin" or to become an enemy of the "Republic of Turin".

Catadona wasn't a fool, and he knew what choices he could make in such a situation.

He ultimately decided to take a gamble with fate and either succeed and become a hero in Italy. Either fail and put yourself on the guillotine.

At 10 a.m. on March 27, 1966, the mayor of Turin, Italy, Catadona, issued a statement in which he declared his support for the uprising in Turin and his willingness to fight for the freedom and survival of Turin. At the same time, he also announced his acceptance of the post of president of the "Republic of Turin".

At the same time, the chief of the Turin police, Giorgio, and the commander of the Itagu infantry division, General Congio, also declared themselves supporters of the uprising at the same time......

Cartagona appointed Giorgio as Prime Minister of the Republic and Congio as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic. Promoted to marshal. His senior staff member Dinakale was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic.

He personally occupied important positions within the Republic...... Manusia, who led the armed uprising, was appointed Vice-President of the Republic and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces......

At the same time, Manusia was also entrusted with a special assignment by President Cartagona. Arm all the rebels and set up a defensive line outside the city of Turin against the impending offensive of the army of the great Italian dictator Vittorio.

Manosia and these rebels, deprived of the fruits of the uprising, are nothing more than victims......

But Manosia and his followers didn't care, what they needed was the true freedom of Turin. They took the rudimentary weapons and received the modest ammunition and explosives allocated to them by Commander-in-Chief Congio. Singing songs, he walked onto the battlefield.

They swore that they would defend the city with their lives and blood!

At this time, "Monsieur Moyol" met with the President of the Republic of Turin, Mr. Cartagona, and important officials of the Republic.

His presence as "Special Envoy Plenipotentiary of Monsieur Piperpendu" also made Dinakale and his companions treat him with great respect.

Cartadona is very strange. Their own officials would be so respectful to a young man. Little did he know that it was Mr. Piperpendu's cheque that contributed to a large extent to the functioning of the "Republic of Turin".

"I am here on behalf of the 'Freedom Alliance'......" Wang Weiyi did not directly name Mr. Pipondou, but used the title "Freedom Alliance" for the first time: "I can assure you, Mr. President. It is an alliance of great wealth and power. We can do everything we thought was impossible, and we can get all the help we can get for you......"

Cartadona didn't particularly understand: "What kind of help you can offer us, Mr. Moyol." ”

"We're going to give you a $1.5 million loan." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "I am sure that this loan can bring you great help...... At the same time, a large number of weapons and ammunition are on their way to Turin...... I need you to believe, Mr. President, that the Republic of Turin is by no means alone......"

"Mr. Moyol" made Catadona, who was already lacking in confidence, excited: "If it can really be the same as you say, then it will be crucial for our victory." But we need allies now. Ah, I guess maybe Germany is a good choice? ”

"Nope. Mr. President, Germany cannot be chosen for the time being. Wang Weiyi quickly said: "If the Republic of Turin declares an alliance with Germany, it will soon arouse the wrath of the United States, and they will not hesitate to choose to support the great dictator Vittorio and carry out the most brutal and bloody suppression of the new republic, which is not what we want to see...... Moreover, Germany cannot provide you with direct assistance......"

Catadona nodded, he now trusted "Mr. Moyol" even more......

Wang Weiyi's ultimate goal is to break Italy and the United States and deal a fatal blow to the Allies, but now is obviously not the time. What he has to do now is how to keep the Republic of Turin alive if it causes a ripple effect in Italy.

Then, it was the best time for him to implement his ultimate goal.......

"I think the United States is also waiting and ...... now," Wang Weiyi said slowly: "The poor performance of the Italian army on the battlefield has caused great dissatisfaction in the United States, especially with Vittorio...... Mr. President, this precious time is a rare time for you to send a strong message to the United States that the Republic is opposed only to the great dictator Vittorio, not to the alliance with the United States. The survival of the republic will do more good than harm to the Confederates......"

Caradona nodded frequently, yes, this is the best choice in the current situation......

"Thank you, Mr. Moyol, for your efforts to the Republic." "But we also have to face a serious problem," he said very respectfully. The enemy's counterattack will soon come, but we have only one regular armament of Itagu's division, and what about the enemy? They have an all-round advantage. Especially the aerial bombardment that will come soon. The civilians are not very reliable. ”

"Yes, that's something we should be worried about." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "But what I can guarantee is that the threat of the Italian Air Force to Turin will be reduced to negligible." ”

Money is always the most advantageous weapon in Italy...... Mr. Pipondou's true envoy has already carried out a full range of activities in Italy......

Now, Cartagona is closely associated with the "Republic of Turin", with "Monsieur Moyol" and with his "Liberal Alliance......

Even if he wanted to turn back, there was no possibility......

．．．．．．

The Great Revolt in Turin. The establishment of the Republic of Turin shook the whole of Italy.

Italians, who have suffered as much as the people of Turin, are heartened. They aspired to be as brave as the people of Turine, to overthrow the great dictator in Rome by means of an uprising.

Rome, on the other hand, was in a deep panic. Mussolini knew perfectly well that if the uprising could not be suppressed as soon as possible. Then a chain of terrible things will happen in Italy.

He quickly appointed the commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, Donani, as commander-in-chief of the front. Responsible for counterinsurgency and all commands. At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the Italian Air Force, Marshal Netas, was ordered to directly direct the bombing of Turin.

But there's one thing that's probably Vittorio. What Mussolini did not expect was that Marshal Netas, who had been a friend of Mr. Pipondu for many years, had already been secretly bribed.

And this is also the reason why Wang Weiyi said that Turin will never be really bombed by the Italian Air Force......

Wars, in many cases, do not have to be resolved on the battlefield.

The power of money and political mediation will be able to do what airplanes and artillery cannot.

Marshal Netas "faithfully" carried out the leader's orders, and immediately ordered the Manis air base, the closest to Turin, to bomb Turin.

But General Enise, the commander of the Manis Air Force Base, who had received a secret order from Marshal Netas and was also a close friend of the marshal, already knew what to do......

A large number of planes appeared in the skies over Turin. This immediately caused an uncontrollable panic among the people of Turino. If Turin were bombed, the confidence and morale of the resistance would have suffered a serious setback. If you don't take a firm position, you will even give up the uprising.

But. The Italian planes seemed to be blind, and the bombs they dropped fell aimlessly at a distance of 108,000 miles from the bombing target.

Turin, as "Monsieur Moyol" assured, suffered no substantial harm at all......

This boosted the morale of the resisters......

What's more, what makes Vittorio even more blameless is that the Italian Air Force is so backward in its models and poor in its pilots that it is well known to the world that they are unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of bombing alone.

Once the threat from the air is lifted, the rebels in Turin will only have to face an attack from the ground.

The commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, Donani, was Vittorio. Mussolini's cronies, who had been single-handedly raised, were still very loyal to the great dictator, and as soon as he arrived at the front line in Turin, he gave the order to attack.

A large number of old tanks and armoured vehicles, in conjunction with the infantry, attacked the makeshift positions of the Turin insurgents. Although they were all equipped during the Second World War, they were still a great threat to the insurgents.

The artillery fire flooded the battlefield of Turin in an instant......

Admittedly, despite the poor performance of the Italian army on the battlefield, the rebels in Turin showed a very different fighting spirit from the Italian soldiers.

They used their rudimentary weapons to fight the regular soldiers to the death.

The 82nd Panzer Division, which was responsible for the forward force of the 8th Army, was not particularly enthusiastic about the fighting spirit of the division commander, Lieutenant General Tiltini, who, in his opinion, could have resolved such an uprising by negotiations, and could fully meet some of the demands of the insurgents, rather than by bloodshed.

Anyway. He wants to suppress his own compatriots......

It was precisely because of this mentality that the 82nd Panzer Division's attack was not so fierce.

But the threat remains......

．．．．．．

"In today's attack, the 82nd Panzer Division carried out a total of two attacks." In the temporary "office of the president". Marshal Congio gave a rough account of the battle: "I was amazed by the performance of the civilian forces, who managed to repel two attacks by the 82nd Panzer Division. However, they also lost more than 100 people. ”

From Congio's introduction, Wang Weiyi could quickly judge that the attack of the Italian regular army was not fierce. Otherwise, with the loss of more than a hundred civilians, it is simply impossible to withstand the attack of an armored division.

"The threat remains." Wang Weiyi groaned: "Who is the commander of the 82nd Armored Division? ”

"Lieutenant General Tiltini." Congio quickly replied: "I think Minister Dinakale has more say in this lieutenant general than I do. ”

Wang Weiyi's gaze fell on Dinakale......

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the "Republic of Turin", Dinacalle, cleared his throat and said: "Yes, I have maintained a friendship with Mani for many years...... Ah, my friends like to call Tiltini Mani...... He's a very nice guy. He opposed the severance of diplomatic relations between Italy and Germany, and he was equally opposed to the war. What he hates most is to let his people bleed. Even he described himself as a completely unqualified military man......"

Wang Weiyi became interested at once: "Is it possible to win him over?" ”

"I think we can give it a try." Dinakale was quick to say: "But there is a prerequisite. He also values his family very much, and he will never allow them to be harmed in any way. At this time, his family was living in Rome. ”

A smile appeared on Wang Weiyi's face: "General Tiltini's family in Rome, I will be responsible for rescuing them safely." But I need someone to go and meet with the general in secret. Fight for his defection. ”

"If you can really save his family. Then I am willing to act as such a messenger. Dinakale replied without hesitation for a second.

He's not one of those particularly brave people...... He did so because he saw the hope that the "Republic of Turin" might succeed...... If you can accomplish some important tasks at this time, then you will have enough bargaining capital in the future political spoils.......

This is a little secret in Minister Dinakale's heart......

．．．．．．

"I hate wars like this, and no one hates them more than I do." The sky had already darkened, and Lieutenant General Tiltini, who had finished the day's fighting, looked at the sky in a daze: "Our soldiers are bleeding on the front line, and the country is still bleeding. We intervened in a war in which we did not have to intervene at all, and what was the result of that? The economic situation in the country is very bad, and the discontent of the population is at its peak. Mr. Pism. What do you think about this? ”

As a close friend of Lieutenant General Tiltini and chief of staff of the 82nd Panzer Division. Major General Pism also sighed softly: "I've also been reflecting, why is Italy doing this? From the First World War to the Second World War, we have always been a laughing stock on the battlefield. Mussolini, the arrogant dictator, always liked to use his own fantasies to do everything, but the end result always hit him head-on. Everyone knows that his son Vittorio is by no means a good successor, but the dictatorship still made Vittorio the lifelong leader of Italy, and the successor of the great dictator is still a great dictator, they only care about their own interests, they never really think about the interests of Italy...... I think this is the root cause of the current deterioration of the situation in the country......"

"Mr. Pism, you can only say these things here." Tiltini's eyes were full of worry: "Anything against him will bring disaster to you if it reaches his ears." But I have to admit that there are constantly people full of greed and selfishness who lead a country, and all they bring is harm and suffering. The Great Turin Uprising broke out, and I think there will be more and more followers soon. What does the future look like for Italy? Fall to pieces? Losing everything we once had? No, as a patriot I don't want to see this happen! ”

Pismus sighed deeply, "I know you are reluctant to shoot at your own countrymen, but just an hour ago, Commander Donani called again, urging you to destroy those who resisted tomorrow and launch a direct attack on Turin, and you cannot disobey his orders. ”

"That's what hurts me the most." Tiltini shook his head slowly: "If I were ten years younger, I would even be willing to follow those rebels. ”

"General, a man named Dinakale wants to see you at once."

At this time, a report interrupted their conversation, and Psim glanced at the general: "Dinakale? That's our friend. ”

"Also the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turin." Tiltini smiled slightly: "I think he should be acting as a lobbyist on behalf of the Republic of Turin." ”

"And what are you going to do?" There seemed to be some anticipation in Pismu's words.

Tiltini straightened his uniform: "Let me see how this Mr. Foreign Minister is going to convince us!" (To be continued......)
