Chapter 1098： The farce is over

The Maleti Armored Group is an ad hoc mechanized combat unit of the Royal Italian Army, which was also established in the Italian North African Army after German instructors began to command the Italian army.

The German mechanized warfare made the Italians quite envious, and they desperately wanted to have similar combat units. After that, they were formally established.

Italy has begun to produce Panther 2 tanks in accordance with German production drawings, and has been given the number of P26 heavy tanks, and this newly formed armored group has about 80 Panther 2 tanks.

Although the gasoline engine was switched to, the torque of this tank at low speeds was insufficient, and the endurance was greatly reduced, but it is still the most advanced tank in the Italian army.

The Aresca armored group was in the forefront. The commander, Colonel Aresca, was sitting on one of the Panther 2 tanks and sent orders to his subordinates via radio.

"As long as you see the armed men, order them to surrender. If they don't lay down their weapons, no matter who they are, they will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!" Echoes came from the radio. No matter what reason they have, they dare to do it in Rome. That is to contempt the royal power of Italy and they should be punished!

The track of the tank was turning, and amidst the rumbling sound, the tank drove into the lost city, and it happened to meet the leader of a group of musketeers.

When they first saw these tanks, they were still cheering happily, thinking that their reinforcements had arrived, and then they were surprised to see the tanks running over!

The tank doesn't even need to fire, just roll it up! The Italian tankers learned this trick from the German tanks. When the track crushed over, they felt extremely excited.

The musketeer of the leader behind was instantly scared. When they saw their companions turned into sludge under the tracks, and saw that their lower body had been torn and the upper body was still struggling and shouting in a pool of blood, they immediately collapsed Up.

No matter how elite infantry is, it is impossible to defeat tanks.

They immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

The leader’s musketeers are elites selected from the army. Their tactical skills are quite superb, but they lack actual combat experience. Mussolini cherishes his own guard and is totally unwilling. Throw in any battle, afraid of being damaged in the battle.

This resulted in their troops having no actual combat experience at all. It was okay to fight a street battle with the opposite Wehrmacht infantry. Now, when the tanks rushed up, they were immediately confused.

The tank was invincible and moved all the way. In the end, a cordon was established outside the palace, and the other troops that followed took control of the streets one after another.

It didn't take long, half a day or so. When night fell, the entire city of Rome had fallen under the control of the Tenth Army. The two sides who had fought for a week, died of death, wounded, and fleeing.

Among the insurgents, both Ziano and Grandi were missing, but Badoglio, who was severely injured and persistent, was controlled by an infantry of the Tenth Army in the hospital, waiting to fall.

After the dust settled, Garibaldi took his team and the German instructors into the city of Rome. He went to the palace before the starry night to visit the king of Italy.

Under the intervention of the powerful Italian African Army, the coup in the capital Rome is like a farce. After the tempering of German instructors, the Tenth Army has become Italy's trump card, and they are Italy's hope.

"Your Majesty, these days have shocked you. Because there is no authorization from His Majesty the King, our Tenth Army has been waiting outside the city for orders, please atonement." Facing the king, Garibaldi was very humble.

"It was because I was too hesitant to let Rome go through a storm. Fortunately, it's calm now!" Emmanuel III exclaimed, "The Tenth Army is indeed a regiment from North Africa. It is really efficient to calm this storm."

"Yes, these are all because of the help of German instructors." Garibaldi said: "Our army must receive the training of German instructors in order to greatly improve combat effectiveness. Your Majesty, I request that we have a closer relationship with Germany. Cooperation, especially to increase the number of German instructors, invite German advisers to participate in the formulation of our military plan. If there are German advisers to help us, we will fight Greece and we will definitely not be what we are now."

Garibaldi is not a fool. Of course, he knows the reason why the king chose him as prime minister is because behind him is the support of Germany. Now that he has become prime minister, he needs to get closer to Germany.

"You are right, Garibaldi, I look forward to your leading Italy to greater glory."

Coming out of the palace Garibaldi is still immersed in the conversation just now. His Majesty the King has given more powers, which allows him to use his hands and feet. With the help of Germany, Italy will definitely be able to seize more More land, continue to expand abroad!

"Prime Minister Garibaldi, congratulations." After he came out, Garibaldi saw the leader of the German instructor. He said to Garibaldi: "Time is running out. We must start work as soon as possible to bring the entire army of the Kingdom of Italy. , Have become the same elite as the Tenth Army."

...

"As Italy falls into our control, we can arrange a large number of our instructors in the Italian army, and arrange consultants at the top, so that after the war begins, we can provide us with at least 300,000 outstanding troops. Under command, they will no longer be the noodle army." At this time, in Wolf's Den, Keitel said to everyone: "Up to now, we have 2.6 million German troops in the predetermined position. The battle against the Soviets is about to Start!"

Killing Mussolini and causing a turmoil in Rome, what good is it for Germany? That is to completely control the Italian army!

There is a raging soldier and a raging nest. The Italian army is called the noodle army, mainly because of their poor combat effectiveness. Among them, the Italian officers have to bear the main responsibility!

When the German instructors have completed the transformation of the Italian army, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army can be raised to a new level, and it can even face the Soviet army!

And Spain, Finland and other servant countries will contribute a certain amount of soldiers. In this way, when Germany launches an attack on the Soviet Union, it will dispatch an army of more than three million!

This will be a nationwide war. Germany has not mobilized more than one million troops in the previous wars! ()
