Age of Rebirth

Hitler's sense was very keen. From the silent attitude of his subordinates, he knew that his words might not convince these arrogant subordinates. The German army swept across the European continent and became the overlord of the European continent. The Soviet Union, the old enemy for many years, will be destroyed.

Now, with the strength of one family, they singled out the United States and Canada in North America. It's no wonder that his subordinates are hot-eyed, and Hitler is also a little helpless about this.

Hitler was not prepared to entangle too much on this issue, and his subordinates could eagerly try to get the German navy involved in the Pacific Ocean, but as the German head of state, he couldn't get over his head. The country is full of mystery and awe, and I dare not underestimate my old Chinese friend.

Therefore, Hitler did not want his subordinates to do things that would affect Germany's main goal because of their coveted Pacific Ocean, so he said in a warning tone: "No matter what you think in your heart, I warn you that Germany's only The task is to conquer the North American continent and erase the United States from the world, other than that, any unnecessary thoughts are inappropriate, especially regarding the Pacific issue!"

Now that the Führer has issued a warning, the officials also know that talking about allowing the German navy to enter the Pacific Ocean at this time will undoubtedly make the Führer unhappy. Who would touch this bad luck, they can only suppress their inner regrets.They all nodded, and then said nothing.

The other dignitaries can keep silent, but not Foreign Minister Ribbentrop.He still has something to do. The Japanese delegation is in Berlin. He has to ask for a bottom line. After thinking about it, he said respectfully: "My head, the Japanese delegation is still in Berlin. Shall we immediately reject their plea?"

"In addition. According to the information obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japanese delegation sent a delegation to Rome in addition to Berlin. It is the same at present. They met with Mussolini and asked Italy to send warships to the Pacific Ocean to resupply the Japanese. Escort on the Australian battlefield!"

"It is said that the Japanese brought a large number of oriental cultural relics, as well as antique jade wares, and prepared to give them to Mussolini. Also, the Japanese offered to transfer the land west of the Delera Mountains in the western United States to Italy unconditionally. In exchange for Italy dispatching the fleet, my head of state, will Germany come forward. Remind the Italians not to get involved in Asian affairs?"

"No no no!" Hitler's head.Shaking like a rattle, he said: "Dear Ribbentrop, we have no right to interfere with our allies. When it comes to things other than the North American War, the Italians are free to do what they do!"

"Ribbentrop, based on what you know about my old friend Mussolini, will he agree to the Japanese request?"

Before Ribbentrop could answer, Goebbels grabbed the conversation and said contemptuously: "My head of state, everyone knows your friend Mussolini very well. Overseas lands and personal collections are his favorites. , I think he will definitely agree to the request of the Japanese, but I'm sure he will also take the opportunity to blackmail the Japanese and take advantage of the fire, which is also one of his strengths!"

"Hahaha!" Hitler and a group of senior officials laughed wantonly. Obviously, they agreed with Goebbels' words very much, "Tang Qiuli and Mussolini are both my old friends. I really don't want to see them interact with each other. What conflict happened, but this is beyond my control, I am very sad!" Hitler said in a compassionate tone.

"Let Mussolini learn, my old Chinese friend is tough and powerful!" Hitler rolled his eyes and said cunningly, "Dear Strong, in the name of the General Staff, Report this to my old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli!"

Including Hitler, the party, government and military officials of the empire have seen through the leader of the ally Italy, Mussolini, and they are very clear about his greedy and arrogant, stupid and arrogant character. In people's eyes, the Italians are teammates like pigs, and their leader Mussolini is a real pig!

Goebbels' judgment was correct. Looking at the vast land in North America and the dazzling array of jewelry and jade, Mussolini hardly thought about it, so he agreed to the Japanese request and sent 34 An expeditionary fleet composed of three warships went to the Pacific Ocean to escort the Japanese logistics supply fleet.

As for what Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who had beaten the Japanese and had to go to Italy to ask for help, Mussolini didn't think about it at all. In his impression of China, it was probably the Manchu Qing decades ago. The situation, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces for many years, has Italy No. [-].

Of course, as Nazi Party Propaganda Minister Goebbels said, Mussolini's greed is deeply rooted in his bones, and he will never let it go if he has the opportunity to make a fortune. Included in the bag, taking Emperor Hirohito's body, and laughing at it, he also proposed, "The daily military expenses and expenses of the Italian escort fleet going to the Pacific Ocean are all borne by the Japanese!"

Not to mention, Mussolini really blackmailed the Japanese, "In addition, Japan also needs to pay additional military expenses to the Italian fleet!" The number reached more than eight figures, and it must be made of gold Hard currency payment.

Mussolini opened his mouth wide and demanded a lot of money. Hearing this, the head of the Japanese delegation below, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chun Chuan, stared at gold stars, and the flames flew straight, wishing to kill this fat pig-like leader of the Italian Nazi Party.

Mussolini has his own plans, he wants to take all the benefits, and take advantage of the cheap. In addition, he also has ambitions. Since the Germans do not want to send a fleet to the Pacific, is it possible for the Italian fleet to go to the Pacific? It is very possible to win a few overseas colonies for himself, he is very confident!

But Chunchuan couldn’t and didn’t dare, who made the Great Japanese Empire fall to such an extent, he was so low-spirited that he asked others. In addition, there was news from the German delegation that the Germans rejected the request of the empire. Now, Italy is The only hope of the empire, knowing that Mussolini took advantage of the fire to rob and the lion opened his mouth, the Empire of Japan can only bite the bullet and be slaughtered!

For the future of the Great Japanese Empire, everything must be tolerated. After Chunchuan signed a series of documents with Mussolini at the fastest speed, he sent this good news containing bitterness and humiliation back to China, allowing Emperor Hirohito and Rest assured.

In Mount Isa in central Australia, at the headquarters of the Independent Division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurried over with an angry look on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he said loudly: "Master, the General Staff Office has just received a letter from the German General Staff. The Germans said in the telegram that the Italians have accepted the Japanese request and sent an expeditionary fleet consisting of more than [-] warships to the Pacific Ocean to escort the Japanese logistics supply fleet!"

"It's really unreasonable. That Mussolini has lost his head. We are fighting the Japanese. Why are the Italians involved? Teacher, are you going to lodge a strong protest to the Italian government in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government?" A telegram was placed in front of Tang Qiuli.

"Italy?" Tang Qiuli frowned slightly, picked up the telegram and read it carefully, then looked at Zhao Yuhe with a smile, and said, "Yuhe, is this worth your anger?"

"Speaking, how can I not be angry!" Zhao Yuhe was still furious. "The Italians sent a fleet, obviously to embolden the Japanese. To put it bluntly, they are helping the Japanese to fight us!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile, and said calmly: "The Japanese are hungry, and Mussolini is greedy for cheap, so he can do it immediately. However, even if the Italian naval fleet sets off now, he can reach Australia in less than a month." East Coast, so, forget about it!"

"You think, we can still give Ito Yanzaburo more than a month's breathing time. If after the final general offensive begins, Mussolini really doesn't know the heights of the sky and helps the Japanese. I don't mind sending any Italian expedition fleet, All in the Pacific!"

When Tang Qiuli said these words, his eyes were full of murderous intentions. To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to Italy. During World War II in history, the performance of the Italian army was enough to make any opponent look down on him. Mussolini still It's ridiculous to send out an expeditionary fleet, and you're going to kill yourself!

On the east coast of Australia, the encirclement of the Independent Division, by the end of November, more than 100 million Japanese troops had been surrounded by the Independent Division for more than four weeks. General Ito Genzaburo’s most feared thing finally came. The entire Australian Front Army In the logistics department, there is no more food, and it is very tragic that it has fallen into a situation of food shortage.

The Italian fleet, eagerly awaited by the Japanese from top to bottom, has just arrived in the waters of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, and is still [-] miles away from the Japanese mainland. According to this speed, the fastest It will take more than [-] days to escort the Japanese fleet and deliver the life-saving food to the encirclement on the east coast of Australia.

General Ito unceremoniously drove out the Minister of Logistics of the Front Army who came to report the situation, the Chief of Staff Akutagawa who came over after hearing the news, and a large group of generals who came to discuss ideas, and sat in the room alone like a fool , he can no longer send telegrams to the base camp, he is very clear that the base camp has tried its best, and even gave up the interests of the North American continent in exchange for Italy to dispatch the fleet.

Admiral Ito is betting, and the whole of Japan is betting that Tang Qiuli will not dare to open fire on the Italian fleet, and dare not take the initiative to provoke a conflict with this European power. In this way, the encirclement of the independent division will be useless, and the Australian front, which is on the verge of extinction, will Bringing the dead back to life, as for the result after losing the bet, the Japanese dare not think about it and are unwilling to think about it.
