To tell the truth, Benito Mussolini, the dictator of Italy, was a fascist in the true sense of the word, it was he who came up with the word fascism, it was he who formed the fascist party, and it was he who always presented himself as the fascist leader of the world.

Mussolini's rapid rise to prominence after the First World War was well suited to his opportunistic policies because of the circumstances after the end of the First World War. In order to gain popular support, he exploited the fear of a growing movement, while appealing to the growing patriotic discontent of the people over Italy's lack of access to post-war negotiations.

On March 23, 1919, he directed the launch of a "fascist movement" that established the world's first "fighting fascist party" in Milan. The political program of this group is a combination of syndicalist and nationalist slogans.

During the turbulent years of 1919-1922, Mussolini used his Blackshirt stormtroopers to fight against striking workers,* the Socialists. In 1920 the threat of * people receded. In the 1921 general election, twenty-two fascists were elected to the National Assembly. Fascist parties were organized throughout the country.

Mussolini founded the National Fascist Party, and Mussolini was called the "leader". In 1922 a long general strike was broken by the "stormtroopers". Thus the well-planned "Roman March" (October 28, 1922) cleared the way. During this crisis, Mussolini himself remained in Milan until the hesitant Emanuel III refused to arrest Mussolini by his advisers, summoned him to form a cabinet (31 October), and was appointed prime minister to take power.

The Italian fascist leader, who had always been very dissatisfied with Germany's current policy, did not want to see a moderate and radical German foreign policy, and he needed a madman to support his grand expansion plans.

He had already found the candidate for this madman, Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany. So Mussolini's stormtroopers had always been the main supporters of the Nazi Party's Brownshirt stormtroopers, and without Italy's support, the Nazi Party's violent apparatus would have been wiped out long ago.

Now you know the origin of the German Nazi Black Shirts, right? It's a complete copy of the Italian fascist Black Shirts. Do you really want to know the name of the German Nazi SA now? This is really the plagiarism of Hongguoguo, who doesn't even bother to change the name. ――It seems that the cottage is not the invention and patent of the Chinese, everyone has developed it from that time, and the crow should not laugh at the coal black......

This time, Mussolini was invited to visit Germany, which was actually a compromise measure that Italy had to take. The Nazi Party, the face of the fascist party in Germany, was suppressed for a long time, and eventually a man named Accardo Rudolph ascended to the pinnacle of German power, marking the complete failure of Mussolini's series of investments in Germany.

Now, on the victor's side, Accardo Rudolph extended an invitation to Benito Mussolini. At any other time, Mussolini could have put on a posture to avoid the meeting, but now that the invitation was issued against the backdrop of the Austrian and Czechoslovak issues, Mussolini could not hesitate.

Mussolini had to hurry to meet a German man who made him very unhappy. For in Italy he was revered as a leader, and in Germany the man named Accardo was also revered as a leader - as a common rule, there must be an open and secret struggle between the two leaders.

In fact, before this meeting, the Soviet government had secretly acquiesced in the fact that Germany had annexed Austria, and they would no longer do any bullshit justice for Austria, they were just wary of Germany's development and growth, and they took this opportunity to develop and strengthen themselves.

The French government, due to the economic crisis, the domestic financial turmoil and the financial burden used to build the Maginot Line, could not form a threat of force against Germany in a short period of time, and could only allow the Germans to stir up trouble in Austria. Moreover, the French Marshal Petain overestimated the Siegfried Line being built by Germany, believing that the French * team "would pay countless lives on this line."

Mussolini's visit to Germany was therefore seen by the whole of Europe as the last diplomatic effort of the Great Powers to maintain the status quo of Austria's independence. Along with this diplomatic effort, four Italian divisions were sent to the border, and Mussolini made it clear in an interview with reporters: "Austria's independence must first be ensured." ”

To tell the truth, the Acadorians did not have a good impression of Italy under Mussolini, and throughout the course of World War II, the Italian army has been sleepwalking, and they are now beaten in Yugoslavia and other regions to lose their armor, and let the British torture and kill them again in North Africa, and when the Soviet-German war started, the Italian army had little combat effectiveness at all.

According to a wild history that Accardo had read in his previous life, after the Battle of Stalingrad, Mussolini flew to Berlin to ask Hitler about the losses of the Italian army, and the exasperated Führer replied: "No! Italy has no losses! Because they are all gone!"

So Accardo has not been in a hurry to find Mussolini like Hitler and study the so-called "axis of the world". This is the main reason why the relationship between Accardo's Greater German Party and Mussolini's Fascist Party is not close.

Therefore, Accardo really did not pay attention to the matter of Italian troop mobilization, he was very sure that he could easily defeat the Italian provocation by relying on two divisions of German * team, and the only thing that worried him was whether the Luftwaffe, which was still in the cradle, would prematurely reveal its strength.

But this does not mean that Accardo despises Italy, on the contrary, he has carefully prepared for this meeting with Mussolini. After all, the country is now one of the leading European powers, with naval and air superiority that Germany cannot compensate.

Accardo hoped to use the meeting to win Mussolini into his camp and gain Italy's support on issues such as Austria, while Mussolini wanted to make an expedition to Germany to teach Germany's new leader a lesson and tell him who was the boss of the dictators. So Accardo and Mussolini, two people with their own ghosts, met in the German chancellor's office.

But the leader of the country is the leader of the country after all, and Mussolini put on an intimate appearance as soon as they met, hugging the tall and thin man who was half a head taller than him: "Accardo, my friend, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Accardo, of course, was not left behind, and was very friendly to put up various p0ss for the reporters to take pictures, after which the reporters left, leaving the two of them for a separate meeting. The atmosphere suddenly became less friendly.

"Chancellor Accardo, I have always wanted Germany to be a democratic and free country. Mussolini banged on the table and put on a big brother's educational face: "So I don't want to see the deportation and mistreatment of democrats in Germany." ”

"Italy must be a democracy. Accardo sneered, and his momentum was not weak at all: "Since everyone is doing the same thing, don't accuse each other of this kind of thing, you and my butts are not clean." ”

Accardo was very satisfied with his answer, if he was the prime minister of the Manchu government, he would definitely not be able to say such a reasonable counterattack, and Bacheng could only nod with a smile on his face. It seems that having a strong country behind it is indeed a very proud thing.

"I propose that you cooperate with the Nazi Party, after all, you can only sit in one position, and it is in your own interests to give up the chancellor to Monsieur Hitler, and I have the support of many other countries!" Mussolini did not seek any advantage, but could only change his strategy, after all, he did not expect to reap any benefits in Germany this time, mainly for Austria and other issues. When it comes to Hitler's Nazi Party, it is just a bargaining chip.

Accardo laughed: "Don't think how great it is that you can be the leader of Italy, on June 10, 1924, I heard the news that Yacomo Matteotti had been killed. Now you understand? We are not enemies, but we should be allies who move forward side by side. ”

Who knew a man named Accardo Rudolph in 1924? Mussolini frowned and looked at the young man across from him, who had been in the grip of a coup d'état in a distant country ten years earlier, and it was incredible. So at this moment Mussolini felt the danger, and he knew that Italy's national power could not threaten the current Germany, which was surviving the economic crisis.

"We can certainly be friends, or even staunch allies in the signing of treaties. After thinking about it for a while, Mussolini decided to soften it first and avoid some unpleasant disputes, and as for Hitler's Nazi Party, which he had always supported, of course, he also secretly decided that he would not give up lightly, and now not to mention the arrogant words of being able to support Hitler to the throne, it would be good for Hitler to drag Accardo back.

However, he made his basic position clear for the first time: "But I still don't want to see the influence of the Nazi Party continue to decline in Germany. ”

"It's the choice of the German people! Accardo said with a smile: "And Germany has passed a bill to prohibit all kinds of activities and propaganda of radical parties. ”

Accardo got up and walked to the front of the map, smiled at Mussolini, who looked inexplicable, and said: "You better not interfere in the internal affairs of Germany, I think you came this time mainly for the problems of Czechoslovakia and Austria." So let's stop going around in circles. ”

"Italy will not budge on this issue! Austria must maintain its independence!" Mussolini snorted coldly: "This is my final bottom line." ”

"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions, Mr. Mussolini. Accardo pointed to the text on the table and motioned for Mussolini to take a look: "You take a look at my chips first, and then think about my chips." ”
