Paris, it was raining lightly.
When the plane landed at the Paris airport, Mussolini looked at the welcoming line outside. There were only a few German diplomats.
As the actual ruler of Italy, it was originally a big event to come to Cyric for a meeting. Now, it seems that the ceremony of the Germans is not so grand.
At least it must be the Minister of Foreign Affairs to welcome him?
Thinking of this, Mussolini was even more unhappy. He stepped off the plane and saw the German personnel who came to greet him. Without a word, he got into the car.
The light rain outside the car window always made Mussolini's heart a touch of sorrow.
Originally, Mussolini was the most dazzling figure in all of Europe. When he was revolutionizing in Italy, Hitler and Cyric were his students!
I remembered the time when Hitler and Cyric went to visit him. At that time, he was still aloof.
But now?
Throughout Europe, Germany has always been in the limelight, and now, Germany has conquered the European continent!
Germany's formidable soldiers pointed directly at the United Kingdom. After taking down the United Kingdom, Cyric also established a world-renowned merit!
And what is Italy doing?
They want to do something vigorous in North Africa, the result? After being beaten back by the British, they wanted to attack France from the south when France was about to fail. As a result, they were beaten back by France.
In this war, Italy is simply playing the role of soy sauce.
Nothing!
"Party leader, here." There was a voice in his ear. Mussolini saw that there was a manor in front of him. Sure enough, Cyric did not set his palace in the palace of Paris, but here, the biggest Keep it secret to a great extent.
Mussolini got out of the car and walked inward step by step. Up to now, his heart is still angry, even if he didn't go to the airport to meet him, now he is at the door, standing at the door to greet him, it is always okay. ?
No, there was no one at the door, only the tall and handsome soldiers of the SS standing guard.
Where is Cyric?
Soon, Mussolini got the answer.
From the conference room, a voice came: "We can't delay any longer. Within this week, we must cross the strait and land in the UK!"
Germany's current front is very long. They want to cross the English Channel, but it is not so easy. Cyrek must be presiding over a military meeting. No wonder he did not welcome him.
Thinking of this, Mussolini was relieved. In fact, he did not expect that this was just looking for a step for himself.
"Party leader, are you here?" Seeing Mussolini standing at the door, Cyric put down the baton in his hand and walked towards Mussolini: "Sorry, the military is so busy that I can't come to meet him personally. "
"It's okay." Mussolini said: "Now, commanding the battle is important. It seems that the British war is on the line."
Mussolini's eyes were also looking at the arrows above, and those arrows all pointed to Dover.
It seems that, just like the rumors outside, Germany will start from Calais, cross the narrowest English Channel, and head towards Britain on the opposite side.
Suddenly, Mussolini's eyes widened. This large-scale map not only indicated the European battlefield, but also the North African battlefield!
Looking at that long front, Mussolini couldn't believe his eyes, and Germany's appetite was really great! The entire Middle East will be occupied by Germany!
Wait, what about Italy?
Thinking of this, Mussolini couldn't help but speak: "Führer Cyric, I am here this time mainly for the issue of commanding the army on the battlefield in North Africa."
As soon as Rommel went to North Africa, just in time for the crash of the Italian commander-in-chief of North Africa. As a result, the Italian army in North Africa could only temporarily listen to Rommel's command and march forward together.
This makes Mussolini quite unhappy. After all, in Mussolini's eyes, Egypt should be the fat of Italy, but Germany can't be cheaper!
"Command of North Africa?" Hearing Mussolini's words, Cyric repeated it, as if he had never considered it before: "Does this still need to be said? Of course, General Rommel is in charge of the entire North African army. , Didn’t we reach an agreement?"
Hearing this, Mussolini was taken aback. When did he agree?
At the beginning, according to the agreement, the Germans fought the west and the Italian army fought the east. After that, the Germans have been fighting Germany without taking into account the western French colonies. As a result, France has surrendered, and Germany does not need to fight. Those colonies are even conquered. Up.
However, in the East, the Italian army suffered a failure, so he asked Germany to send troops into the North African battlefield to help fight the British.
At that time, didn't he say that he wanted a German general to be the commander in command?
"Is it possible that you can beat the British team with an army like Italy?" At this moment, among the German generals below, I don't know who made such a voice.
Mussolini's face blushed at these words.
In the eyes of a group of German generals, is the Italian army really that unbearable?
Mussolini wanted to fight back, but he didn't know what to say. Think about it in recent years There are really no good examples. However, he is absolutely humiliated. Won't give up.
"The combat effectiveness of the Italian army is a bit poor, but I believe that with the help of our German instructors, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army will be able to increase rapidly and reach the same level as ours." At this moment, Cyric Speak.
When he heard these words, Mussolini's mind suddenly went into a trance.
German instructor? Let the Germans be instructors for your own army? Is this appropriate? Will it allow Germany to control the Italian army?
However, the second half of the words made Mussolini's heart hot again.
At the same level as the German team, now the entire European continent, the German team's combat effectiveness is recognized, and France, known as the number one power in Europe, surrendered within a few days!
If it achieves the same combat effectiveness as Germany, then the Italian army will be able to cross the world!
"To our allies, we have always been very generous." Cyric said: "We sincerely hope that the Italian army can fight alongside us instead of dragging us back."
For Italy, Germany is really good enough. Italy has been procrastinating. When France is about to get on the ground, it can be regarded as a declaration of war on France, but it was beaten by the French.
However, when France surrendered after the war was over, the Germans generously requested that France cede a part of their southeastern territory to Italy as war compensation!
The Italian navy didn't use much hands. As a result, after the war ended, they gained control of the entire eastern Mediterranean. They fought for so long with the French navy and didn't get any benefits. As a result, Germany generously won enough benefits for Italy.
Germany is generous to its allies.
