Having received the promise of American support, Mussolini once again convened a meeting of his confidants. At this time, they began to hammer out some of the details of the operation, and many things had already been decided. However, because everything was being prepared against Germany, the progress seemed to be very slow.

This time, another meeting was over, and the staff members came out of Mussolini's office, all with their own thoughts. After all, the betrayal of Germany is a game of risking their lives, and if they win, they can become Italian heroes, but if they lose, they will really accompany Italy into hell.

"I say, this time, how sure are we that we will be able to stop the German attack?" said a senior staff member who had been following Mussolini, with a warm smile on his face, asked a senior army general who was walking beside him down the stairs.

The senior general had a sad face, with an expression of a dead mother, and when he heard someone ask him, he stopped and turned around, and whispered: "I know that you are very close to the leader, and he listens to you with many questions...... Can you help the leader change his mind and cancel the plan for the Germans?"

"Why is that? From our current point of view, it's obviously more advantageous to be on the side of the Americans. The staff member's expression froze, and then he lowered his voice and asked: "You don't know, what kind of big European Union are the Germans are doing recently, many people are clamoring for the establishment of a unified continental European Union, this is a political problem, you don't understand it too much, in short, if we still want to have the power to control Italy, then we can't succumb to the shadow of Germany forever......"

"Sir, I understand all of this, but if I tell you...... The fortifications on the border are not as well built as they are...... The border guards are also not sure to resist the 100,000 troops in the hands of the ****, what do you think?" the army general gritted his teeth, and finally revealed some of his little secrets.

"The line of defense of the border is not finished? How is this possible. It's been almost 2 months since Mussolini supported you with shady funds, and you haven't finished building the fortifications that are not difficult?" the staff was startled by the general and almost cried out. However, he suppressed his voice, but his big eyes widened.

The general took out a check from his briefcase and stuffed it into the palm of his staff: "Several generals of the army have taken benefits, this is not my idea alone...... Who would have thought that we would suddenly start a fight with our allies, so we feel that these fortifications are not so eager to be used......"

Glancing at the numbers on the check, the staff's round eyes also returned to a casual appearance, the numbers on them really made people's hearts beat faster, and they were also very tempting for a person like him with a good family background. So the staff member immediately began to think from the perspective of the army: "How much have you taken, or how much ...... have you completed the fortifications?"

"This ......" saw the staff put the check into the pocket of his clothes, and the general knew that he had pulled the other party into the water, so he coughed, adjusted his original expression of fear to sweat, and said: "In fact, except for a small fortress, the rest of the fortifications are civil structures, without cement, underground bunkers, and permanent machine-gun bunkers...... Let's just say that we only spent a fraction of the budget. ”

Once again, the staff widened their eyes at this bold army general - this group of moths did not even repair a decent fortification, and directly divided all the expenses. And the border fortifications on the border, on which Mussolini pinned high hopes, simply do not exist.

"Oh my God...... In this case, if the leader makes a wrong judgment, doesn't that mean that all of us are dead?" the staff member said hesitantly, frowning, touching the stubble on his chin.

"So I'm telling you the truth...... If you hadn't stopped me, I would have visited you in your apartment later. The general took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "The leader must be stopped, and this will make us all doomed." ”

"You don't need to say it, I know it! Hell, you go first, I'm going to talk to the leader, and at least delay this plan for 10 days!" The staff member came up with an idea with a roll of his eyes: "I'll find a way to delay it for 5 days first, and then you can use army supplies and other methods to find a way to delay it for 5 days, so that we have 10 days to carry out a proper buffer!"

He leaned close to the general's ear and continued: "Use these 20 days to mobilize your troops, dig with shovels, dig with your hands, and dig a similar line of defense for me! Otherwise, at that time, when war really breaks out, we will really be completely finished!"

Ignoring the stunned generals, the staff member turned and ran to Mussolini's office. When he walked into the house, Mussolini was getting dressed and getting ready to go out to meet the American guests living in the villa once again. He saw his staff walk into the office and asked, "What's wrong?

"Leader, just now, General Diego of the Army and I talked for a while. He wanted us to postpone the whole plan, because he was worried that if war broke out, it would affect his business on the German side......" The staff sneered, explaining the reason for going and returning.

"What business? When did General Diego have a business in Germany? How could I not know?" Mussolini was stunned for a moment, and then threw the coat that was already in his hand on the sofa at the door: "At this time, I will come to you to convince me to cancel my operation against the Germans...... What the hell is he trying to do?"

"He told me that if I convince you to abandon this operation, he will give me another ......half," the staff member said, pulling out the cheque from the Swiss bank from his pocket and pressing it on Mussolini's desk.

Mussolini looked at the check, which turned out to be a full $300,000, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for his staff. He knew that his staff could not have so much money, and they could not have brought it with him so coincidentally during a meeting.

As a leader who has fought in high positions for many years, he certainly has a suspicious personality and an innate sense of smell. He knew that this was not an easy matter, but that it meant that his men were reuniting between him and the Germans.

This is not a good sign, at least, it is not good news for him to carry out a whole set of secret plans of action. He picked the check off the table, slipped it back into the staff's pocket, squeezed out a smile, and said, "If he gave it to you, then you will keep it!"

"He asked me to delay for five days, and then he used the lack of military supplies as an excuse to delay for another five days. The staff softly replied to Mussolini's question: "He said that I don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and then I will get another 300,000 ...... from him."

"Very good! Very good!" Mussolini laughed angrily, and the expression on his face became hideous and terrifying, and he swept the pen holder on the table to the floor with a strange smile, and then cursed: "Then of course don't worry about it, I will be hanged by the Germans, and those who are loyal to me will be sent to concentration camps! So what do you have to worry about? What about him? Will he be the leader of this country?"

"Don't be angry, leader. At least I'm loyal to you, so we've seen their plots, aren't we?" the staff leaned over Mussolini and said in a slightly grim tone, "I think we might as well really postpone the operation for five days and then ...... He would ask for a postponement for another five days. At that time, we will deal with him first, take the Germans by surprise, and then decisively launch the plan, and the victory will always be yours and your Italy. ”

I was speechless...... When Mussolini heard the idea, he immediately furrowed his brow. In this way, you can deceive the German intelligence services, and you can have more time for yourself - a very good suggestion.

So he looked at his staff, and there was a feeling of "how about my daughter marrying you" in his eyes, and then he stretched out his hand, patted the staff member's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am very pleased with your sincerity...... I am also very pleased with your wisdom...... If the plan succeeds, you will be the deputy prime minister in the new regime I will establish!"

"Thank you, leader, for your cultivation! I will definitely continue to unswervingly support you and give advice to your new regime!" the staff member smiled and lowered his head, as if he had been taught. He replied with a smile, but from an angle that Mussolini could not see, there was a flash of cold light in his eyes.

After two taps on the shoulders of his staff, Mussolini stopped talking, but walked to the couch and picked up the coat he had thrown on it. As soon as the staff saw the scene in front of them, they hurried over, took the coat, and helped Mussolini drape it behind him.

Then Mussolini waved his hand and signaled for his staff to step back. When the staff member left his office, Mussolini snorted coldly: "It's all a bunch of scheming dogs......! Sooner or later, I'll clean you and Diego together!"

There is a supplement in the middle of the night today, so you can watch it tomorrow morning!
