Battle of the Third Reich

Mussolini and Hitler are almost opposite in character. It is strange that they can get along in harmony when they are together, and they can further reach the steel alliance.

Perhaps this is related to Hitler's thought of Mussolini as a senior idol in his heart, but when he saw the essence of the senior's strength and strength, the defeat of the Axis Powers on the battlefield was already present, and the unfavorable situation was hard to recover. .

The Italian National Fascist Party miraculously seized power. In its development context, Hitler received a lot of inspiration. You can see that during the initial period of the German Nazi Party, whether it was a system, a uniform or even a flag, many of them were from their Italian counterparts. What can be learned from, for example, the famous Nazi stormtroopers, has obvious traces of the Italian black shirt army.

Mussolini was indeed very close to Hitler. On the road of the Nazi reconstruction of the German Wehrmacht, Italy generously provided Germany with a batch of important military technical assistance.

Hitler, of course, also voted for it. Even if Germany was facing great pressure on the Eastern Front in the later period, Germany still did not stop providing Italy with weapons and various resources to help Italy maintain its front line in Africa and maintain the normal operation of the fascist government.

It was not until Mussolini was ousted that the ornate balloon was finally pierced, Hitler despised all the losers, Mussolini finally lost the respect and favor of the head of state. This leader became a vassal of the Germans, and then there was only one and a half years before the collapse of the entire Axis Powers.

However, in this time and space, Mussolini and Hitler, because of their premature death, became heroes of their respective nations and countries.

Although Italy has failed successively on the battlefield, Mussolini still has a large number of fans, especially the ordinary people at the bottom. They even regard this leader as a saint who saved the country.

Mussolini is certainly not a saint. He loves food and beauty, and likes all extravagant lifestyles. In order to be worthy of his prominent status, he even quietly modified his files and sent his first wife to a mental hospital. Even after marrying his second wife, he has maintained an underground lover relationship with several women one after another, almost seeing a love one, it is almost like a human-shaped planter.

From the perspective of emotional life, Mussolini is a complete scum, because his descendants continue to wash the guy.

Xu Jun has always held a despise attitude towards the big chin. He knows the Italian leader’s cards better than Hitler, otherwise he will not disregard the previous friendship between the two sides and repeatedly beat the leader’s face.

Of course, now that the person is dead, let him dissipate in the morning breeze in the past holidays, at least the head of state thinks so.

When meeting Mussolini's family, the German head of state behaved very kindly and did not pose a strong leader in the least. At the same time, the head of state did not hide his emotions. He could see that he lost a good friend. His heart was full of grief. When talking about emotions, the head of the head even contained clear tears, which made those sad. The families of the deceased are all moved by this.

After consoling the family, the head of state ordered the close adjutant to send away the sad widow and five children, but finally left Ziano alone. The excuse used was to prepare to invite the former Italian foreign minister to a welcome lunch in half an hour.

Only a few high-level people are aware of the fact that Ziano sold his father-in-law. The German has a tight tone, so no news is leaked.

Ziano's behavior was not exposed, so he did not destroy the feelings between him and his wife. Instead, Mussolini's sudden death eased the conflict between the young couple. For outsiders, the son-in-law of the late prime minister, half heir to Mussolini's career.

Ziano knew very well that Mussolini’s children could not have the opportunity to enter politics, because all Italian forces would not agree, and more importantly, the German head of state would not allow it. The former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs believed that this "Apostle of God" would never want to see another Mussolini born in Italy.

In the country of Italy, the children who are heirs of the bloodline are born with a strong appeal. At this time, only enough power is needed to promote behind the scenes. The children of Mussolini can easily take over the political legacy of this leader. The legacy even reconsolidated the already disintegrated forces within the national fascist party into a whole.

Ziano was very clear that the Germans would not allow this to happen, and in the usual style of the Nazis of Germany, even if there was a hint, they would act decisively to kill all possible things in the swaddle. Now they still have the lives of Mussolini's children, which can only prove that the Germans are fully prepared to deal with it. Ziano loves his wife very much and does not want to see her miserably die.

"Ziano, last time I met, I remember still in Paris." Xu Jun reclined on the chair and reached for a cigar from the cigar box on the table.

"Your memory is right, my head of state." The former Italian foreign minister used to call Xu Jun "My head of state" without hesitation, and it seemed to be completely free of psychological pressure.

"How is this time going?" Xu Jun handed the cigar to the other party.

"Thank you very much, my head." Ziano, with a flattered look, took the cigar from the head.

"Ada has returned to my side now. I'm going to take her to travel around the world after the funeral is over, maybe I can make her forget the pain of losing her father." Ziano replied.

"This idea is great, your wife should be very happy, because she has such a spoiled husband. By your words, I now suddenly have to put aside these tedious tasks, get rid of this group of guards, one person The urge to travel around the world." Xu Jun handed the cigar scissors to Ziano, and then picked up a special match from the table.

"My head." Disenhofen said aloud.

"Okay, okay, I understand, Eric, this is just a joke." The head of state smiled and comforted the surprised adjutant.

"Badoglio mentioned to me that he is going to arrange a position for you in the cabinet." The cigar was lit, and the head of the match flung the match.

"For the time being, I don't want to go out to work. After a few years, I really feel a little bit tired." Ziano said and lit a match.

"If it is working for me?" Xu Jun looked at each other's eyes with a sincere tone.

"I don't understand, what can the head of state, like me, do for you?" Ziano had considered a similar question, but never thought that the German head of state would be so straightforward.

"There are many things you can do, Mr. Earl, more than you think." Xu Jun was very satisfied with Ziano's response at this time. He turned his face and made a smug expression at Weierle.

"Thank you very much for your compliment, my head of state." I don't know if it was because of the conversation just now that Ciano said this more fluently.

"Badoglio will continue to appoint you as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy." Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray, then stretched out his hand in the folder at the table and pulled out a document.

"Italy will also set up a European Cooperation Committee, and you will be the first chairman." Xu Jun handed the document to Ziano.

"European Cooperation Council?" Ziano received the document. He had never heard of the cabinet preparing to form this unit before.

"The main task of this committee is to coordinate with the friendly European countries, to deal with the problems encountered by Italy in the new European order, and to oversee Italy’s domestic industrial and financial system so that they can better integrate into our new Order." Xu Jun explained.

"You will be a bond of friendship between Germany and Italy, Count Ziano." Weiler interjected.

"This position is too important, and I worry about my ability to be competent." Ciano wanted to get the job from the bottom of his heart, but he was worried about the pressure he would face. After all, Mussolini had no cover for him. The windshield is raining.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is his own bank, and there is absolutely no pressure on this, but the European Cooperation Council, although it sounds like an ordinary administrative body, actually manages quite a wide range of contents. If you have real power, in certain fields, Even being able to fight against the court with the Cabinet Chamber.

Although Badoglio has been in politics for a short time, there are many experienced staff around him, and it is impossible to see this danger, but he still agreed to establish this committee. Obviously, the head of state has exerted pressure to force the prime minister not to Disagree with this plan.

"Ciano, did you lose your original self-confidence? It doesn't seem to be the Earl of Ciano I know." Weiler encouraged with a smile.

"Don't worry about encountering unsolvable problems, you just need to accept this appointment. We have prepared a group of consultants with great work experience for you. Everything has been arranged, Ziano." Xu Jun picked up the cigar again , Took a deep breath.

"I see, my head of state." Ziano has understood the meaning of the German head of state. He must accept this appointment no matter whether he wants to or not.

"Very good. I’m glad you agreed to take on this difficult task. Unfortunately, your commitment to your wife may have to be postponed. I promise you that once the business goes on track, I will ask Badogrio The Prime Minister will give you half a year's vacation, and I will personally arrange this late trip for you." The head of the head hit his knee, and he could see that he was very happy at this time.

"Thank you very much, my head." Ziano nodded respectfully.

"Time is coming, my head." Disenhofen reminded at this time.

"The luncheon is all ready, Your Excellency, now the guests have begun to attend." An Italian bodyguard reported.

"Well, I solved a problem and made my appetite wide. I hope that the chef has prepared enough food today. I feel that I can eat a whole cow now." The head of state stood up from the cool chair with a joke. .

"Mingming just drank a pot of tea and ate two plates of biscuits in a row." Disenhofen felt sincere admiration for the head's good appetite. Since he followed the head of state in France, he has not found this food. Bottom line.
