Age of Conquest Reborn

The ambition to open overseas colonies for the Kingdom of Italy in Asia and the Pacific was shattered by the disastrous defeat of the army. In order to avoid the gradually boiling public opinion of the domestic people, Prime Minister Mussolini stayed behind closed doors and disappeared from the public eye.

Within a few days, according to people in the Prime Minister's Office, the Prime Minister fell ill, and was very seriously ill. △

Nocerino hid away from people, but the Italian people did not agree. It was easy to talk about the soldiers who died in the war. After all, the people were gone. The government had pension standards. It was normal for people to die in war, but those hundreds of thousands

What should we do with the captured officers and soldiers? The government must come up with ways to deal with them no matter what. We can’t always be detained by the Chinese, right?

Prime Minister Mussolini went into hiding, the government collectively lost its voice, and the relatives of the captured officers and soldiers quit. As a result, after domestic public opinion fermented to a certain extent, it turned into dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister and the government. Many major politicians in Italy

Demonstrations of varying degrees broke out in cities across China, demanding that the government negotiate with the Chinese government as soon as possible and allow captured officers and soldiers to return home as soon as possible.

Demonstrations in various places became more and more intense and tended to sweep across the country. From blaming Mussolini to doubting the Nazi Party's ability to govern, Mussolini could no longer sit still. If it were before, each would march and demonstrate on their own.

The brown shirt army composed of Nazis had been sent to suppress it long ago, but this time it didn't work.

There are hundreds of thousands of captured officers and soldiers, with a few relatives standing behind them, plus some immediate family members, that is more than ten or more than twenty people. I am afraid there is a huge base of millions. What is the total population of Italy?

, we can’t put everyone in a concentration camp. Wouldn’t that mean that Italy has become a huge prison?

Mussolini felt that his ruling position was unstable. He convened a meeting of senior party, government and military officials at the Prime Minister's Office. They urgently discussed countermeasures and finally came to the conclusion that if he wanted to facilitate the return of hundreds of thousands of captured officers and soldiers, he could only go to

Go to the German head of state Hitler to communicate with the Chinese Tang Qiuli. The relationship between the two is good. Moreover, the Prime Minister must go to Berlin to interview Hitler in person. The other people are not important enough.

There is nothing we can do about this. Since the Chinese government declared war on Italy and Italy responded to the war, all the embassies in China have been evacuated. The channels of communication have been cut off. It will definitely not work if we directly negotiate with the Chinese with a blank look. They are the victors.

One side.

After careful consideration, Mussolini knew clearly that if the prisoner of war issue was not resolved, his position as prime minister would be unstable. He decided to immediately set off for a secret visit to Germany, and repeatedly warned his son-in-law and foreign minister.

Ciano, your visit to Germany must not be made public. Keep a low profile. The lower profile the better. He knows it. Go ahead and ask for help. It is a shameful thing. Can it be made known to everyone?

Mussolini, who had always been flamboyant and pompous, arrived in Berlin in a very low-key manner. At the repeated request of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even the welcome ceremony at the airport was cancelled. An ordinary car took him to the German Parliament Building

The Führer's office, Hitler is waiting for him in the office!

As soon as the two met, Mussolini almost burst into tears. He took his old friend's hand and said eagerly, as if he was seeing a savior: "Führer, my secret visit to Germany is because of something."

Please come..."

Hitler calmly listened to the cry of his old friend, but in his heart he despised this dark-faced, fat guy. When Mussolini decided to attack Tang Qiuli, he personally went to Rome to dissuade him.

His eloquent and sincere statement was powerful. What was this guy's attitude at that time? He was so arrogant! He was so arrogant!

Now I know that I cried and wiped my eyes to beg myself to come. What can I say, Italians will not learn a lesson unless they have a bloody head and a big head. Even when I was dealing with Tang Qiuli,

They all treat each other as equals and don't dare to show the slightest contempt. How dare you, an Italian who is just following behind Germany and taking advantage of others, dare to clamor to defeat the Chinese?

Hitler felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, and felt pity for Mussolini, who was also a member of the Nazi Party, so he said kindly: "My old friend, Germany and Italy are eternal allies, natural allies, old

I will not stand idly by when my friends encounter difficulties, and it is my duty to communicate with Tang Qiuli and the Chinese government!"

When he heard this, Mussolini shed tears. He was so moved. He did not expect that Hitler, who had always been strong, would be so reasonable and see and understand his difficulties. After all, when Italy declared war on China, they

He went all the way to Rome to dissuade himself, but he pushed him back without saving any face. Looking back now, what kind of thing did he do?

"But!" Hitler changed his tone and said seriously: "I am only responsible for conveying the words of my old friend to Tang Qiuli. As for what conditions Tang Qiuli proposed, that is a matter for negotiation between the two of you. Germany will not participate.

, I don’t want to, let alone participate in it!”

"It's done!" Mussolini nodded like garlic and said with tears of gratitude: "As long as the head of state can communicate with Tang Qiuli and facilitate negotiations between the two parties, I and the Italian people will be grateful.

Let’s go back to China and wait for the good news from the head of state!”

Before Mussolini could even sit firmly, he returned home anxiously. Looking at his fat body, staggering out of the office, Hitler shook his head and said helplessly, "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!"

In Busan, the Korean Peninsula, at the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked into the office of division commander Tang Qiuli and said: "Division Commander, I just received a telegram from Deputy Commander Liu!"

Tang Qiuli picked up the telegram, read it carefully several times, and pondered for a long time before saying: "Call back to Deputy Commander Liu, Brother Tiehan, I have received all the incoming calls. I am very pleased that my brother has won the battle in North America, but he has won the battle of Diller in the western United States."

To annihilate the Japanese-occupied area to the west of the Lashan system and completely wipe out the Japanese and Italian troops is only the first step in the North American strategy!"

"Brother said that the situation in the western United States is certain, but in Qiu Li's view, it is not the case. Without a huge military force actually existing in the region, actual control is just a lie. I understand what my brother wants, but control

The area from Alaska to the western United States and Canada, and even Central America, is related to the actual control of the entire Pacific Ocean in the future and preventing other forces from getting involved. Such a big event requires heavyweight generals like Brother Tiehan to be in charge!"

"Today, the German army, the American army and the Canadian army are fighting fiercely in the eastern United States. There is no sign of the war ending in a short time. The Germans' consumption on the North American battlefield is also very huge. Eventually, the independent division troops will also intervene.

We are fighting in North America, so the existence of my brother’s troops is very necessary!”

"Not only that, after the battle to attack the Japanese mainland is over, the strength of the East Point troops will also be increased. Brother Tiehan is recuperating in the western region of the United States, training troops, paying close attention to the battlefield in the eastern United States, and getting ready for war. When an opportunity arises, Brother's troops

, it is a wonderful move, I hope brother can understand the secret! My brother Qiu Li wrote it himself!"

Now that the East Pointer's more than 400,000 troops have established a foothold in the western United States, Tang Qiuli must not throw away the fat in his mouth. Not only that, his appetite is not limited to such a small piece of land in the western United States.

Italy has been eliminated from the North American battlefield by itself. In terms of the division of interests in North America after the war, the Chinese should get their deserved piece of the pie.

Moreover, it is his unswerving strategic goal to control the North American continent and even Central America's land on the Pacific Ocean and turn the entire Pacific into an inland sea for the Chinese. Liu Tiehan's East Point Force, stationed in the western region of the United States, has the only mission of

Otherwise, if there are only tens of thousands of Italian soldiers staying in the San Jose area of ​​Central America, would it be worth sending out heavy troops to the east and going to war?

Tang Qiuli understood Liu Tiehan's wish to personally command the army and attack the Japanese mainland, and even felt the same. However, in the face of the larger strategic goal, he could only let this brother who had followed him all the way.

Sorry!

After putting down the telegram, Liu Tiehan felt very complicated, including understanding, loss, and regret, but mostly a sense of responsibility for the new mission. Tang Qiuli's telegram opened up a magnificent picture of the future for himself, and he was even more

I watched the young people growing up and was impressed by the grand plans they had in mind.

"Ketian, order the troops in the western region of the United States to immediately rest and recuperate on the spot. At the same time, send a certain number of mid-level officers to participate in the management of local civil affairs and restore the local economy as soon as possible. We have hundreds of thousands of people plus ten

With tens of thousands of Italian prisoners, we cannot rely solely on supplies from Australia. Being able to handle some of it ourselves will also reduce the pressure on the logistics department!" Liu Tiehan said to Chief of Staff Yang Ketian: "We will be stationed in North America permanently!"

Yang Ketian wanted to kill the Japanese in their homeland even more urgently than Liu Tiehan. He also read the division commander's telegram himself. To be honest, he felt very unhappy. When Liu Tiehan said this, he couldn't help but complain: "Deputy

Division Commander, several other regiments have participated in the battle to attack the Japanese mainland, but we are the only one who points the main force eastward but stays in North America!"

"What's the point of keeping so many troops when we watch other troops dig out the Japs' lairs and defeat the Japanese and Italians? Without a fight, hundreds of thousands of people will be idle in the future!

"

"You think so?" Liu Tiehan glanced at Yang Ketian and said: "There will be wars in the future, and the scale will not be small! The division commander has great plans for the North American continent, and has high expectations for our East Point troops!"

"Is it possible that the division commander wants us to participate in the war between the Germans, Americans, and Canadians?" Yang Ketian's brain reacted quickly, "Then according to your judgment, deputy division commander, it is most likely to follow?"

"Not sure!" Liu Tiehan smiled mysteriously and said, "Just wait and see what happens. In short, the battle must be fought. By the way, Ketian, where have the troops heading south to Central America reached now?"
