Age of Rebirth

In Rome, the Italian capital, in the prime minister's residence, Mussolini ran away. On his desk, there was a telegram from the distant Pacific Ocean. The officers of the Italian expeditionary fleet were still very dedicated, and they hung the white flag to surrender Immediately afterward, the situation that occurred in the waters of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, and the situation encountered by the expeditionary fleet was truthfully sent back to China.

So, after reading the telegram, Prime Minister Mussolini, who has always been pretentious, ran away. His obese body moved back and forth in an office covered with expensive Persian carpets, cursing Chinese people loudly, especially that Tang Qiuli, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and a dozen or so Italian party, government and military leaders watched in horror, and the Prime Minister was as furious as a fat lion.

After scolding for more than ten minutes, Mussolini stopped, lit a cigar, and took a deep puff. The light blue smoke blurred his plump purple face, and turned towards the party, government, and military leaders standing beside him. The members shouted: "I, as the prime minister, order you to start immediately. The battle plan for the expedition to the Asian and Chinese mainland must mobilize all the troops of the army, navy and air force!"

"I want those ignorant Chinese to know the disastrous consequences of Italy's anger, and let that arrogant Tang Qiuli know that if I destroy one of my fleets, I will destroy the whole of China! The invincible Italian army must appear on Chinese soil in two months!"

"Also, Foreign Office and General Staff, contact the Japanese immediately and inform their Emperor Hirohito of my thoughts, Italy is willing to form the latest bilateral military alliance with Japan against our enemy - the hateful China people!"

Mussolini's roar.Echoing in the spacious office, those Italian party, government and military leaders.Looking at each other, no one dared to argue.Originally, many of them, Prime Minister, disregarded the international situation, coveted the interests of the Japanese, sent some expeditionary fleets to the Asia-Pacific region to serve as thugs for the Japanese, and fought against the Chinese who had never had any ties or grievances. .

However, the Prime Minister at the time.The mood is in full swing, and he has the ambition to open up overseas colonies in Asia and the Pacific region. No one can listen to what he says. However, the prime minister is now in a rage and wants to use all the power of the whole country to travel thousands of miles to Asia. , to fight a national war with the Chinese.This is not a trivial matter, it is related to the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Italy, but the Prime Minister cannot be allowed to mess around!

The number one boss of the Italian military, the Minister of Defense and Chief of the Army General Staff General Mario.After thinking about it for a while, I didn't take Mussolini's words very seriously.Sending troops to attack China thousands of miles away, are you just kidding?

How far is italy from china.The prime minister doesn't know?How big is China, and how big is Italy?Is the Japanese army not as powerful as the Italian army?These.Don't you know the Prime Minister?

The big bosses of the party, government and army kept their own thoughts in their minds, but none of them responded to Mussolini's words. The atmosphere in the office was dull.Depressed and awkward.

Seeing that his subordinates did not respond to his call, Mussolini felt ashamed, and immediately flew into a rage, shouting: "What? No one carried out my order? Since this is the case, I don't mind replacing the Italian Army, Navy and Air Force with a Approve generals who can resolutely carry out the orders of the prime minister!"

Mussolini’s words were all for this reason. The expressions of the leaders of the party, government and military suddenly became colorful. General Mario had to express his opinion, “Your Excellency Prime Minister, please calm down. They even took the initiative to attack our Italian fleet, and we must give a resolute counterattack to this deliberate provocation and contempt for Italy!"

"However, Your Excellency Prime Minister, sending troops to Asia to fight in mainland China is a big deal. It must be well-planned and well-planned, and it can't be done in a short period of time. My personal opinion, whether to consult our Allies, opinion of the Germans."

"After all, a war with China requires the help of the Germans in many things. Besides, it is said that Tang Qiuli, the actual leader of China, has a very close personal relationship with Hitler, the head of state of Germany. Even if we decide to send troops to China, we cannot Don't care about the attitude of the Germans!"

Mario's words definitely had a miraculous effect, like a bucket of cold water, calmed down Mussolini immediately, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the current Pacific region is almost similar to Borderlands, then, Why don't the Germans reach out? On the North American continent, there are more than 600 million German troops in the Pacific region, but it is much more convenient than Italy.

As for Hitler, the head of state of Germany, maybe others don't know it, but I know it well. It is greed for territory. He is a sick guy with strong strength. Even Hitler doesn't extend his claws to the Pacific region. What is he worried about?

There must be something wrong here. Almost instantly, Mussolini regained the shrewdness of a politician, immediately put on a smiling face, and said with a haha: "Just now, my emotions are a little out of control. Okay, the meeting is adjourned." , As for whether to attack the Chinese, wait for my next order!"

After the party, government and military officials left, Mussolini dictated that he recorded to the secretary of his cronies and sent a private telegram to Hitler, the head of state of Germany. The core content of the telegram was about his desire to send troops to mainland China. The Chinese, who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, asked Hitler for his opinion on this matter.

In Hitler's hand, he was playing with Mussolini's telegram, with a sneer of contempt on the corner of his mouth, and his mustache was shaking non-stop. A group of German party, government, and military officials stared intently at the expressive face of His Excellency the Führer.

For Mussolini, a pig-like teammate, Hitler knew too well. He could even judge that his old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli, who had a strong and tough personality, must have swallowed the Italian fleet. Without blinking, Mussolini gave Tang Qiuli more than [-] warships for nothing.

Now, Mussolini is going to send troops to China. Hitler can only describe his feelings in speechless words. He really can't figure out whether the leader of the Italian Nazi Party, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, has something in his mind. Even an idiot wouldn't have such an absurd but dangerous idea?

Hitler still intends to send a telegram to Mussolini. After all, he is his old friend, "Your Excellency, Germany cannot interfere with your country's sovereign actions. Sincerely remind old friends, once you leave the war with my old Chinese friend Tang Qiu, Italy will not only gain nothing, but will also anger a strong and fierce tiger!"

Hitler really didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Mussolini. He was worried that once this pig-like teammate had a conflict with the Chinese, it would affect Germany's ongoing North American war. Otherwise, he would be happy to see it, the Italians Go to war with the Chinese.

Then, Hitler said with emotion to the party, government and military leaders around him: "Now you all know that my old friend Tang Qiuli is such a person. That fleet belongs to our Germany, and if Germany cannot give him an explanation that satisfies him, he will order his fleet to do the same without hesitation!"

Holding Hitler's telegram, Mussolini was dumbfounded. He understood the meaning of the telegram. After a long time, he sighed. The political and military leaders are also so happy, a war between the two countries that was almost going to happen, just disappeared like this.

A day later, Tang Qiuli received a telegram from Germany, which was sent by Hitler himself. In the telegram, Hitler not only told Tang Qiuli in detail that Italian Prime Minister Mussolini wanted to send troops to mainland China, but also vaguely Hinting that he had persuaded Mussolini, it is very likely that the Italians died down.

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but sneered, and immediately called Hitler back. Of course, polite words are indispensable. I have to thank Hitler for his patience. Will succumb to foreign pressure, as for Qiuli himself, he will not accept any external threats and war blackmail, no matter which country it is, or which person and which side!"

"Qiuli has fought the Japanese, the British, and the Soviets. Now, he is still fighting the Japanese, and he doesn't care about one more Italian. Please tell the head of state to Mussolini. If he has the courage, he will let him go." Come here!"

Tang Qiuli's call back was absolutely domineering. There was no need for euphemistic diplomatic rhetoric, diplomatic protests, or warnings. As long as Mussolini dared to come over, he would see the truth in his fist.

Tang Qiuli has been a human being for two lifetimes and has unparalleled experience. How can he fail to see the meaning in Hitler's telegram, which vaguely has the intention of threatening and warning. It means that Italy is completely under his own constraints, and Hitler can decide on his own. Which side is the Italian's fist hitting!

After returning the telegram to Hitler, Tang Qiuli quickly forgot about it. As for Mussolini's reaction, it's none of his business. An Italian warship, very caring, specially sent a telegram to Tang Qiuquan, urging him to treat those captured Italian officers and soldiers kindly. They are all ready-made talents. more necessary.

Tang Qiuli's current main energy is devoted to the aftermath of the Australian war. In addition, there is another decisive event that is imminent, that is, the combat strategy for attacking the Japanese mainland.
