"Our miracle of war is coming soon!" In Rome, party leader Mussolini announced to his party people with excitement.
Originally, it was Mussolini who created the fxs party, which blossomed throughout Europe. When Mussolini became the ruler of Italy in Rome, the German student next door had not launched a coup in the beer hall!
As the mentor of the revolution, Mussolini was very beautiful, but now, throughout Europe, who remembers Mussolini? Even Hitler is rarely mentioned, the most popular is Cyrik!
Under Cyric’s leadership, Germany launched a war of vengeance. Now, the whole of Europe belongs to Germany. In contrast, what has Italy done?
As a prestigious country, as a member of the Axis powers, Mussolini certainly wants to create some miracles.
Now that Italy has occupied Albania, using Albania as a springboard, it can quickly conquer Greece!
In this way, Italy can form a horn with Libya, a colony on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and consolidate Italy's "big power status." Now, the entire Middle East is German. Italy has to grab something!
"The leader of the party, Italy actually disagrees with our request and cedes their territory in exchange for peace. I think we will send troops directly and occupy Greece!" said Lieutenant General Visconti-Polaska.
Now, Visconti is the commander of the 25th Army of the Italian Army in Albania. He looks at the opposite Greece every day. He has long been unable to help it. Moreover, he hopes to accumulate merits through a military victory and obtain the chief of the general staff. Position, get rid of the old fellow Badoglio!
"The leader of the party, the Greek army is very poor in combat effectiveness. We only need 3 Italian divisions to enter the hinterland of Greece. Within two weeks, the Greek government will bend its knees and surrender. Ancient Rome has conquered Greece through four wars. People do better." Visconti said vowedly below.
Visconti is definitely the main warrior. After occupying Albania, he could not wait for a long time, looking at Greece every day.
And now, Greece has rejected Italy's request, then, then, it can only be solved by war!
Hearing what Visconti said, Mussolini's heart was even more happy: "Yes, with our powerful Italian army, we can definitely solve Greece as soon as possible and expand our territory!"
Then Mussolini turned to look at Marshal Badoglio, the chief of staff next to him, and said: "Well, the time is set for October 28, how about it?"
October 28th was of great significance to Mussolini, because it happened to be the anniversary of the fascist seizure of the supreme power in Italy in 1922.
Now, 18 years have passed. It is really great for the Italian army to occupy Greece and defeat this world enemy as a tribute to Mussolini.
However, upon hearing Mussolini’s words, Marshal Badoglio on the side shook his head like a rattle: “No, the leader of the party, our army is not ready yet. Time is too tight. I don’t think it depends. With the three divisions of our 25th Army in Albania, we will be able to defeat Greece."
Marshal Badoglio was quite dissatisfied with Visconti. This guy has no such ability at all, but he has to pat his chest and speak big words!
"Greece is not the same as Albania. Greece has enough strength. I think we must mobilize at least 20 divisions to have an overwhelming advantage. But now, as many as 500,000 soldiers in our army are allowed. Temporarily demobilized and returned to the countryside to help the autumn harvest. I suggest that we can postpone the offensive until December and wait until our army is re-mobilized before attacking Greece."
Hearing what Badoglio said, Mussolini's face suddenly sank, and that was what he didn't want to hear.
Seeing Mussolini’s face, Visconti’s heart was even more happy. He continued to fan the flames: "Your Excellency Marshal, you are so old and short-sighted, you can’t see the true strength of our army. We are no longer the same. We have an army. After reorganization, we already have the same combat effectiveness as the German army, especially our 131 armored division, which has very advanced equipment."
Now it is different from history. The Italian tanks are no longer the CV33. The Italian Fiat company received technical assistance from Germany a year ago to transform its own production line.
While producing the updated M13 medium tank, they are also producing the P26 heavy tank.
This tank model has also appeared in history, but now, this Italian tank is completely different from the historical model. This is a new tank produced according to the drawings of the German Panther 2 tank.
Yes, the 20-ton Panther 2 tank is at most a medium tank by German standards, but when it comes to Italy, it becomes a heavy tank Fiat has specially used its own high-power gasoline engine It was transformed and installed in the tank, and everything else remained almost unchanged.
In particular, Fiat’s technicians, after training in Germany, can finally weld the car body and the turret. Due to the fragile military industry, the previous Italian tanks were directly bolted to fix the armor when the armor was hit. At the same time, bolts or rivets flew out, causing terrible damage, and now, welding is finally adopted.
This makes them more confident.
Among Visconti’s three divisions, there is an armored division, and this armored division has been equipped with 30 such P26 tanks, and the rest are M13.
This is also the reason why he has confidence.
"There is still a certain gap between our equipment and the Germans, but even if we bring German equipment, we cannot fight the same as the Germans, because our soldiers lack the morale of the Germans." Marshal Badoglio saw clearly: "Unless we are in North Africa, we hand over our army to the Germans and fight side by side with the Germans."
Hearing this, Mussolini was even more unhappy. He is now the most tired of telling others how brave the German army is and how incompetent his own army is. He wants to fight Greece and just wants to show the Germans. The Italian army is also capable of combat!
So, with a gloomy face, he said to Visconti: "Visconti, now, I order you to prepare for battle and launch an offensive on October 28! We must conquer Greece! Create our Italian military miracle!"
The Italian officers present all looked at each other, only Visconti looked excited: "Yes, I will definitely complete the task." ()
