Chapter 675

"My Fuehrer, 400000! 400000 Italian volunteers join the German army to fight for the Third Reich! It's completely under the command of Germany. In addition, we'll send another 300000 people to be trained by the German defense forces and fight with them. " Mussolini almost begged to acado said: "Italy's war preparations have not been completed. It is obviously unrealistic to deploy 2 million troops. It is all we have to find a way to take out 700000 troops."

Mussolini is really telling the truth. After all, part of Italy's troops are still in North Africa. It is quite sincere to move 700000 troops to Germany in the east line. In fact, Italy's territorial expansion has reached its limit. Even if it sends its own troops to participate in the war again, it will not be able to do so, It is impossible to gain more peripheral benefits.

Germany has no excessive requirements for the Mediterranean, but it has signed the "Balkan fast track agreement" with Turkey and Italy, which stipulates that Germany can build and use a railway highway composite transportation line extending from Germany to Athens, and can develop or cooperate in the development of oil and gas pipelines on this line in the future.

This ensures that Germany has an easy access to the Mediterranean Sea, together with enough control of Crete, a crucial Mediterranean unsinkable aircraft carrier. And once it controls the Suez Canal, Germany can continue to transport oil from the Middle East to Germany. What no one knows is that Germany has an unknown reserve card of North Sea oil and gas fields. If the supply of Romanian oil fields is added, Germany's future oil and gas resources can meet its own oil and gas consumption.

Mo sonili put on a posture that he wanted to kill, cut, hit and get. On the contrary, acardo had no reason to go down the drain. He even gave up the idea of investigating the responsibility of the Italian Navy generals because Mussolini offered a sky high price for the compensation of the dead paratroopers.

Of course, when akado asked for the port of Alexandria and the Suez Canal in Egypt, Mussolini also nodded and agreed. He just used this important chip to get a certain amount of Middle East oil share. This kind of exchange was even a little servile, which made akado feel that the Italians really realized their mistakes this time.

After seeing Mussolini off, akado stood on the Berlin platform with his hands on his back. He felt that this meeting was unexpected. He could not say what was wrong, but he had an intuition that something was wrong. So he stood there in a daze, hoping to recall the flaws in the whole meeting.

Augustus stood beside him with an expression of Old God. In the end, he decided not to let acardo worry about such a small thing, and said the truth: "Italians are confused. It's no surprise that they admit defeat so simply this time, but they didn't show any reluctance. This matter deserves our attention."

"You mean? Do the Italians have some advice? " Acardo frowned and did not think of any of Italy's famous strategists during World War II. This nation is just relying on the habitual two sides of the wind. As for the strategic vision, it seems that there is nothing special about it.

"If Mussolini had an expert by his side, the Italians would not rush out to France and defeat Ethiopia in a muddle. Now there is such a mess." Augustus shook his head and said, "it's very simple. If it's not the American behind the scenes, it's the hell."

"Americans? You mean? Are Americans in contact with Italy? " The intelligence department deployed by acardo in Italy has reported this. There is no formal change between the United States and Germany, or between the United States and the axis powers, so the performance of the U.S. Embassy in Italy is still quite active. At least they meet with the Italian high-level frequently and seem to have signed some small contracts such as humble economic agreements.

"Recently, several espionage cases uncovered by Gaskell, including the case of buying small capitalists and other marginal espionage cases, all have some American shadows behind them." Augustus, with one hand behind him and the other on crutches, walked up the stairs by the platform, and akado followed him.

"The axis group accounts for almost half of the world's industrial base, and it also sits in the granaries of Ukraine and Poland. Most of the ore and industrial raw materials are also in control... If the integration is good, it can even be said that it has been in an invincible position." As he walked, Augustus said, "if it's me who can't beat the huge alliance with external force, the best way is to break up inside."

"Isn't that funny? Although Italy is in the heart of Germany, the Mediterranean is in my hands. As long as the canal of gibraltarian and Suez is still under our control, how big waves can Italy turn up even if it mutinies? " Akado felt that he would not draw up such a plan. On the surface, at least, it seemed that the rebellion doomed to failure was meaningless.

"It's not about Italy really beating us." Augustus, of course, did not think that just one Italy could cause any uncontrollable crisis in front of Germany. However, he went on to say: "shaking the alliance system of the axis powers is already a good business with less investment and quick results. After all, the Americans have just opened up a lot of conditions, just like Australia's changing its flag. Disgusting, we are actually enough."

He went to the stairs and stopped. Then he turned to acardo and said, "my head, I'm not worried about what's going on in Italy right now. I'm worried that if the war gets stalemate, it will come out and do us harm. Although it is not enough to succeed, it is more than enough to fail. " Acardo nodded. He agreed with Augustus. He thought about it carefully, and then said, "two plans, either start now, and come directly once and for all... Or leave hort to wait for them to make a move first, and then we can get a right name."“ Keep an eye on the hostile forces operating in Italy, then draw up a feasible emergency plan and adopt a second plan. " Augustus also thought deeply, and finally chose the second plan: "now we take the initiative, there is no evidence to say. In the end, it will seriously affect the trust within the axis. After all, it is not a good thing for many allies to think that we are too overbearing." After Augustus finished, he walked down the steps with acardo and entered the underpass. The light became dim. Acardo waved his hand and motioned the following guards and entourage not to follow. Some people guarded the entrance, while others immediately turned around and ran to the other side of the underpass. In the passage, Augustus suddenly remembered something and said to akado: "I almost forgot that the formal protest sent by the United States earlier today asked us not to try to get close to the Middle East. In private, they revealed to our diplomats that they were willing to give part of the oil share and hoped that we would maintain the actual control line of Egypt." After hearing this, akado laughed, and then said with a smile: "Americans are really getting more and more funny. When they can fight, they say they will fight. But when they can't fight, they even think that if we give a little money, we can end the war if we want to. Are we beggars in the Third Reich? "“ What about us? " As soon as Augustus's eyes brightened, he knew that acardo might make a bigger move this time“ Keep playing silly Without thinking deeply, akado gave a long-standing solution: "since they don't mention why the American forces in the Middle East appear in Egypt, we will continue to fight on the side of the Suez Canal! They will either recognize the dumb loser by pinching their noses, or they will lift the table to fight a real war with us! " As they spoke, they walked out of the underpass. The exit was full of SS soldiers, military generals and foreign journalists who were not royal media such as the great German newspaper. They had been waiting here for a long time to press the shutter to the most powerful people in the Third Reich“ Mr. Fuehrer, what do you think of the outcome of this meeting with the Italian leader, Mr. Mussolini? Is it satisfactory? Mr. Fuehrer, do you think the military cooperation in North Africa will extend to the Suez Canal? " All the people keep asking the topics they are interested in, staring at the protagonist with a look of expectation“ I had a very pleasant meeting with Mr. leader. We have carried out cooperation and consultation on many issues. It is not convenient to disclose the specific contents and secrets, but the friendship between the two countries remains unchanged. " Akado smiles at the reporter's flash and speaks in a numb official tone. Now that the dirty performance has begun, let's go on stage together! Akkado waved to the camera and thought: when the curtain falls, who is the clown and who is the protagonist!
