Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2357 Don't Try to Run Away

After the Battle of Volga, the situation in the Axis countries became worse and worse, and Mustache was very anxious.

Probably after the end of the Battle of Moscow, Mustache’s spirit became abnormal. He could not listen to any persuasion, was self-willed, suspicious of everyone and everything, and appeared less and less in public.

In Moustache's view, the situation with fat and bald heads is obviously more serious.

But the fat bald head didn't realize that after returning to Italy from Germany, the fat bald head took the initiative to visit Victor Emmanuel III, hoping to get more support from the king.

What the fat bald head doesn't know is that Victor Emmanuel III has reached an agreement with the Italian Chief of Staff General Ambrosio and the Duke of Aquilona to replace the fat bald head with Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Become the new flag of Italy.

It was Mustache's attitude towards Italy that prompted Victor Emmanuel III's decision.

Mustache made it clear that Italy should behave like the Russians on the battlefield and turn Italian cities into the graves of the Allies.

This request was collectively opposed by the Italians. The Italians only wanted to follow the Germans to pick up cheap, and did not want to gamble everything for the German cause.

Mustache's requirements don't stop there.

Accompanying the fat bald head to meet Ambrosio with the mustache, hoping that the fat bald head can get more support from the mustache.

The fat bald man didn't know why, but he didn't make this request to Mustache.

This made Ambrosio completely disappointed with the fat bald head. When the fat bald head and Ambrosio returned to Italy, Badoglio suggested that Victor Emmanuel III arrest the fat bald head in the palace and send the fat bald head to Italy. The bald head is under house arrest, so that the so-called "decency" in Italy can be guaranteed.

Victor Emmanuel III adopted Badoglio's suggestion and made preparations in advance when the fat bald head had an audience.

After conquering the Abyssinian Empire, Pietro Badoglio was created Duke of Addis Ababa and continued as Chief of the Italian Staff.

In the first stage of the Greek campaign, the Italian army suffered a disastrous defeat. As a scapegoat, Badoglio was dismissed by the fat bald head and kicked out of the general staff.

The fat bald head had an audience with the king on the 26th. Before that, on the 24th, the National Party where the fat bald head belongs was going to hold a general meeting. This was another conspiracy against the fat bald head.

The meeting was proposed by Dino Grandi, a National Party patriarch, former foreign minister and ambassador to Britain, who disapproved of Italy's declaration of war on Britain and was supported by his fat, bald son-in-law, Ciano.

Even his own son-in-law opposed the fat bald head, which shows how precarious the status of the fat bald head in Italy is.

The meeting was held at 24:[-] pm on the [-]th, at the Palazzo Venezia, and the police were responsible for security, not the bald chubby private guard Lancers.

Grandi was the first to launch an attack, demanding that the fat bald head return more power to the king so that the king could shoulder the responsibilities he should bear.

The fat bald man realized that the situation was not good at this time. He instructed the Secretary of the National Party, Skorza, to try to postpone the meeting until the next day to buy himself more time.

Grandi was well prepared, and did not give the fat bald head a chance to fight back. He said forcefully: We must solve this problem today, no matter how late it is.

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, nine hours had passed since the start of the meeting, and the members attending the meeting were hungry, thirsty and exhausted.

In the final vote, 19 votes were in favor of returning more power to the king, 7 votes against, and 2 abstentions. Grandi won a complete victory.

For the next two days, there was a dark tide in Rome, rumors were flying, and everyone realized that something big was about to happen.

The most obvious changes were in the police station and the Ministry of the Interior. The staff loyal to the fat bald head were arrested and inspected, and the telephone terminal was also taken over by people loyal to the king. The fat bald head had lost his external communication channels. He knew nothing about it. Prepare a speech for an audience with the king.

On the 25th, Rome was again bombed by the Southern African Air Force.

The fat bald head came to the palace ahead of schedule to meet the king.

At this time, the fat bald head was still full of confidence. He believed that he would definitely get the support of the king, so that the fat bald head could use the king's influence to regain control of the National Party.

Different from the past, today's palace is extraordinarily heavily guarded. In the past, the security of the palace's perimeter was handled by the police, but now it's all replaced by military police.

It is also understandable that Rome has been bombed by the Allied forces for many consecutive days, and it is normal for Victor Emmanuel III to strengthen the security measures of the palace based on concerns about safety.

Wearing the uniform of a marshal, Emmanuel III stood at the gate of the palace to greet the fat bald head, and gave the fat bald head enough courtesy.

After the two greeted each other and walked into the palace together, Emmanuel III was preoccupied.

"My dear leader, the situation is very bad now. It has reached the most critical moment. Italy is about to fall apart, the morale of the troops has plummeted, and we have lost Sicily. This is an unprecedented blow to the confidence of the people." Emmanuel III With a serious expression, he has decided to take back the power he personally granted to the fat bald head.

"The vote of the Grand Council is terrible. At this moment, you are the most hated person in Italy. You only have me as a friend, and I can guarantee your safety. Don't worry, I decided to let Marshal Badoglio temporarily serve as your friend." After the situation calms down, you still have a chance to come back." Emmanuel III gave the fat bald head a bad check, and the fat bald head's expression was nothing but astonishment.

Before walking into the palace, the fat bald man fantasized about rallying and uniting Italians, as he had done 21 years earlier.

The king's words directly determined the fate of the fat bald head. Power is illusory, and the power granted by the king will be withdrawn at any time. At this time, the fat bald head recalled the words of the mustache and regretted it.

After Mustache came to power, the first thing he did was to amend the constitution and legalize his power permanently. The German president was completely emptied and became a mascot in the deep palace.

The fat and bald head's power came too easily. It only took five years between being a veteran in 1917 and being appointed by Emmanuel III to form a cabinet.

Even after forming a cabinet, Fat Bald never really took control of Italy, not even the National Party.

When things are going well, everyone is flattering, and when you look down from the trees, all you see are smiling faces.

Once the building is about to collapse, the trees will fall and the monkeys will disperse, and even my own son-in-law will join the hostile camp, and the life of the fat and bald head will end in tragedy.

Of course, the conclusion has not yet been reached at this time, and the fat and bald head thinks that he can still save it.

"You're making a wrong decision. Many people now think that as long as someone is fired, then this will be over and peace will come. This is also wrong. The morale damage to the army will be extremely serious-- "The fat bald man tried to struggle.

"You don't have to worry about this. Marshal Badoglio will control the army. He is a talented person." Emmanuel III abandoned his fat and bald head like a pair of shoes. He has forgotten now that when he called the fat and bald head to form a cabinet , also said the same thing.

Only then did the fat bald man see Marshal Badoglio, who was also wearing the uniform of the Generalissimo, sitting on the single sofa in the center of the living room.

In the past, when the fat bald head had an audience with Emmanuel III, this single sofa was the place where the fat bald head often sat. As long as the fat bald head was present, no one would dare to grab this sofa.

Now Marshal Badoglio obviously has no intention of giving up the sofa.

He didn't even get up, just sat on the sofa safely, smiling and looking at the fat and bald head.

Only then did the fat bald man realize that everything was irreversible.

The scene was extremely embarrassing, and the bald fat man took the initiative to leave.

At this time Badoglio finally got up, and he and Emmanuel III sent the fat bald head to the gate of the palace.

The fat bald head walked towards the car he had come in.

Suddenly, a captain stopped the fat bald head.

"His Majesty the King sent me to protect your personal safety—" the captain was serious.

The fat bald head was so distraught that he didn't notice the captain and continued walking towards his car.

"No, no, we're going to take this one." The captain pointed to an ambulance next to him.

The fat and bald man frowned, and when he looked back, Emmanuel III and Badoglio had disappeared at the gate of the palace.

"Must it be like this?" The fat and bald man didn't want to take an ambulance. An ambulance is not as comfortable as a custom-made high-end car.

"Yes, it must be so," insisted the captain.

The fat bald man let out a long sigh, and walked into the ambulance with the secretary.

In addition to the captain, there were a lieutenant, three military policemen, and two officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the ambulance.

"Hey, take this away a little bit." Fat bald reminded, worried that the rifle would go off.

The military police were unmoved, and fixed their serious eyes on the fat bald head.

The ambulance drove fast all the way, and two days later, the fat and bald head was sent to Pencha Island.

On the 25th, a little later, Emmanuel III ordered Marshal Badoglio to form a new cabinet including soldiers and civilians. That night, Marshal Badoglio announced the news.

When the news reached North Africa, both Alvin and Leonard Capet were surprised.

The Italians were finally efficient once in a while, but they dealt with their own people. It seems that the toughness of the Italians is internal rather than external.

"Marshal Badoglio's personal representative has arrived at St. Peter's Basilica. The Italians hope to withdraw from the war in a decent way. For example, if we send a division to Rome, Marshal Badoglio will cooperate with us." Ray Nader Capet was delighted that Italy's withdrawal from the war would be another major victory for the Allies.

No, it should be the biggest victory of the Allies since the outbreak of the war.

Compared with Italy's withdrawal from the war, victories of this level in the Defense of Moscow and the Battle of Volgograd are obviously dwarfed.

In particular, this victory was facilitated by Free France and Southern Africa. This is extremely important to Reynard Capet, which is the political capital for future political competition.

"It is not up to us to decide this matter. The way for Italy to withdraw from the war must be unconditional surrender, all the troops lay down their arms, disband the National Party, and hold all war criminals accountable." Alvin did not give the Italians a chance to bargain, and sent a division to airborne If you go to Rome, you might become a hostage to the Italians.

"This is unlikely. If all war criminals are to be held accountable, then Emmanuel III is also duty bound." Leonard Cape felt that Alvin's request was too harsh.

"Then hold the king accountable, and no one can escape trial." Alvin was not polite, which was also Rock's request.

Another allied country in time and space did not fully pursue responsibility after the war. Germany, which was dismembered, made a deep introspection after the war, but the other Axis countries did not pay the due price. To put it bluntly, many damned people did not die. In the victorious country, the interests of some countries are regarded as victims of the exchange of interests.

In this time and space, Rock absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen. Even the king should bear his due responsibilities, otherwise it would be a betrayal of those who died in the war.

"Doing this may make the relationship between Italy and Germany stronger." Leonard Capet was in a bad mood, and the duck he got was about to fly.

"Then let them perish together." Alvin didn't care about political capital, but cared more about the national interests of southern Africa.

The easiest and most effective way for Southern Africa to expand its influence in Europe is to overthrow and rebuild.

In these European countries, no matter France or Italy, if after the war is over, the vested interests still rule the country, then everything will return to the original point without any change.

There are too many benefits of overthrowing and rebuilding. In this process, Southern Africa can maximize its influence, cultivate its own interest spokesmen, and foster a new interest group. This is more in line with the interests of Southern Africa.

Like Marshal Badoglio.

If given the chance, Alvin would like to have a personal talk with Marshal Badoglio.

Being the prime minister is not as comfortable as being the president directly.

The power of the prime minister comes from the king. See what happened to the fat and bald head. The king can grant power to the prime minister, and he can take it back at any time.

If the king is deposed and the method is changed, everything will be completely different. Everyone takes turns being the president, which is equivalent to taking turns being the king. Except for the king who is unhappy, everyone else is happy.

If Badoglio agrees to this point, then every Italian president will have to first obtain the consent of certain interest groups in southern Africa before he has the opportunity to compete for the presidency.

So did Leonard Capet.

After the war, the Free France and Vichy France merged into one. At that time, it will be dominated by the Free French group or the old forces of Vichy France.

At present, it seems that the hope of Free France is even greater.

However, it is not without variables. It depends on who other allies, mainly southern Africa, support.

Rock and Petain are no strangers, although the relationship is not as good as Rock and Leonard Capet, but when it comes to national interests, anything can happen.
