stared at it for a long time, until Zhao Jian showed his "short ♂ knife", and Hood suddenly realized that his current behavior was voyeurism, and then he ran away as if he was fleeing. Richelieu glanced at the back of the other party fleeing, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

After fleeing the scene, Hood ran to the restaurant area in a panic, and because it wasn't a meal, he couldn't see many people. Hood casually found a seat by the flowerbed, wanting to go back when she calmed down, but as soon as she sat down, she heard a conversation coming from across the flowerbed.

"Miss Edda, if we meet here, won't it cause misunderstanding on that occasion?"

"It's okay, General. This is Star Castle, and nothing can escape his eyes. When we talk about business, it will be better to be generous. ”

"Alright then......"

Hearing Edda and an Italian general say that they wanted to "get down to business", Hood immediately pricked up his ears and eavesdropped through the flowers with bated breath. Although the two were talking in Italian, this was not a problem for Hood, who was fluent in several languages.

The person who spoke to Eda was Anzu of Italy. Admiral Aquino, who led the remnants of the Italian fleet to surrender to the Zhao ship in the last Star Fort attack and defense battle, became the highest-ranking general captured by the Ghost Hunters since its establishment. Coupled with the survivors on the Andrea before, the Italian Navy is currently on the Star Castle, with nearly 7,000 people, ranking first among prisoners!

For these good Italian prisoners, Zhao Jian did not throw them to mine, but raised them with good food and shelter, and even allowed high-ranking personnel like Admiral Yaquino to move freely in the designated area. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these sailors is also maintained very well.

And the purpose of Eda to meet Admiral Aquino is to use these soldiers and horses and himself to prepare an alternative "back road" for his homeland Italy!

During the years she was a prisoner at Star Castle, Edda had been paying close attention to the developments in the outside world, and as she gradually grew up, she was no longer the arrogant and impulsive female pilot she was back then.

Today's Italy, although nominally the "second leader" of the Axis camp, is in fact in the eyes of the Germans. They, like Japan, are just a slightly more powerful client state. And with the successive defeats in military operations, Italy's situation became more delicate.

In the middle of '41, Germany didn't want to wait for Japan. Bursting with self-confidence, he launched a war against the United States on his own. In addition to the lunar mainland, the Germans drew two-thirds of their forces from Venus, which were then replaced by Italian, Romanian, and Bulgarian troops.

At first, this really excited the Italians, who took over a large number of defense areas from the Germans, and Mussolini even had the illusion that Hitler gave Venus to himself. But soon they found out. It's not a pretty bad thing.

Thanks to the generous funding from Star Castle, the resistance on the Venus side is very strong, and their individual weapons and equipment are far better than those of the Italian soldiers. Less than a month after the Italian army took over the defense zone, tens of thousands of casualties were paid in the French occupation zone alone.

Soon after, the British navy, which had been besieged for a year, launched a large-scale raid to cover the expeditionary fleet's breakthrough. Admiral Cunningham, who commanded the operation, thought it would be a tough battle, but the Italian navy was more weak than he imagined.

So Admiral Cunningham, who seized the fighter, boldly divided his troops into two ways, one way continued to contain or beat the Italian fleet, and the other team was led by him himself. Escort the expeditionary fleet for a while, and go to the moon to see if you can smash the old home of the Germans with your hand.

It was precisely because of the lack of strength on the ground and in space that the Germans began to be disappointed in the Italians, and even considered them a group of dispensable burdens. But the fuse that really intensified the contradictions between the two sides was the recent joint offensive.

"General Aquino, you should know very well that the Germans are not reliable, they only care about themselves! If Italy continues to be in the company of this villainous country, sooner or later it will be treated as an outcast by Hitler. When it really comes to that time, it's too late! ”

"But Edda...... We're already on this speeding chariot and jumping down so hastily that no one will take it. That's dangerous. ”

"So we can learn from the French!"

As we all know, there are two "governments" in France today!

One is the Pétain government, which controls Venus itself and belongs to the Axis camp, and the other is the government of Charles de Gaulle, which is heavily funded by the Star Castle and belongs to the Allied camp. The two governments are hostile to each other, but are "officially recognized" by their respective camps. This means that in the future, no matter which side wins the final victory, France can sit in the seat of the "victorious power".

So Edda hoped to follow de Gaulle's example and form an Italian government-in-exile that would side with the Allies. But to achieve this goal. It wasn't enough for her to stand up and shout, she also needed the strength to be recognized by Britain and France, and Star Castle was the reinforcement they needed.

Without the support of the Star Castle, de Gaulle would not have a capable army in his hands, Free France was still an empty shell organization under the fence of London, and the US government would not have recognized the legitimacy of the de Gaulle government so happily in order to sell Zhao Jian a face.

So after figuring it out, Eda didn't hesitate to use medicine to "take" Zhao Jian!

"General, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, for the sake of Italy, I am willing to give my own qiē, but this is not enough, I still need your support."

"Ada, you don't want to overthrow your father, do you?"

"It's because he's my father that I'm doing that. Let me overthrow him, and I'll just put him in jail, and if I change the guerrillas, they'll hang him on a lamppost. ”

I shook my shoulders helplessly, judging from the current intelligence, the situation of old Mussolini is already very dangerous. The betrayal of the joint operation has not only angered the Italian people, but also made them feel sincerely dissatisfied with the pro-German prime minister.

Large numbers of people took to the streets to demand Mussolini's resignation, and a number of military politicians with evil intentions, including Edda's husband, were secretly plotting to replace him.

Since you can't kill your daughter, you can only try to your father-in-law! (To be continued.) )

PS: In the past few days, I have been visiting the imperial capital, mainly going to the National Museum (because there is air conditioning, free), and some familiar authors.

In addition, I think many people should know that the "intensity" in the second half of the year has increased, and the whole chapter was directly rewritten yesterday. xh118R1052
