Battle of the Third Reich
Vol 5 Chapter 450: Rome chaos (2)
Badoglio's mentality is very stable now. He believes that he has done all the work he can do, and the rest can only rely on God's arrangement.
The Field Marshal firmly believed that the benevolent Lord still loved the Kingdom of Italy and the devout people in this land, so Mussolini had to step down, even if he was praised by the Pope as a "Providence (Providence)".
The Vatican’s attitude has always been somewhat ambiguous, but it doesn’t seem to be a big problem in Badogrio. At this time, as long as the church remains neutral, it is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of this coup.
The transitional government only needs to continue to recognize Mussolini’s agreement with the Vatican, then the group of God’s shepherds will not stick to some seeming problems, they may ask for some benefits from it afterwards, but by then the overall situation has been decided, There is time and this group of greedy guys are slowly pulling the skin.
Badogrio slowly climbed the steps of the Venetian Palace. He wanted to perform the last performance for the arrogant dictator. The Field Marshal confirmed that everything was ready and the leader’s ending could not be changed.
"Good morning, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Badogrio strode into the room and raised a hand to the dictator standing behind the desk.
"Good morning, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is something important that you need to come by yourself." Mussolini simply raised his wrist, then reached out and made a gesture of sitting down.
"Thank you, no need. I brought His Majesty the King's will this time. He wants to invite you to see him immediately." Badogrio thanked him slightly.
"Is there anything urgent? Why not call me first."
Mussolini was not surprised by the king’s summons. He only visited the Quirinal Palace once on the second day of the war, and then never saw the majesty again. In the current situation, Vittorio. Emmanuel III (Emmanuel III) will of course have some ideas. After all, the war-torn name is his country.
"Do you know what your majesty has to do with me?" Mussolini sat down, deliberately opened a folder in front of him, and pretended to have a bunch of official duties to deal with.
"To tell the truth, I didn't know very well. I asked Colonel Paul the same question before, but unfortunately the head of guard was completely unaware." Badogrio turned to look at the head of the court behind him, and the other party nodded quickly.
"Okay, give me half an hour. You go to the lounge for a rest. I will change my clothes. I can't wear it to meet your majesty." Mussolini pulled his uniform.
"Okay, sir, we are waiting for you downstairs." Badogrio resigned respectfully and turned around to give Mussolini a fascist ceremony before leaving.
Mussolini's face sank as the landing marshal left. This army marshal just behaved just like it used to be, but from the moment he entered the door, Mussolini felt a strange feeling in his heart. Today There seemed to be something hidden under that obedient face, especially when the Field Marshal looked at himself, he had a creepy feeling, as if he had encountered a certain natural enemy.
Badoglio seems to be a little too active during this time, and now the power of the chief of staff has expanded sharply because of the war, and he already has more than two-thirds of the armed forces in his hands. Is it because of this I felt threatened, and it seems that this should be a reasonable answer after all.
Mussolini stared at the documents on the table for a while, and finally decided to go to the king first and wait to look back before contemplating how to conquer the military marshal's military power.
Mussolini still retains a certain degree of loyalty to the royal family. He did consider studying the German head of state for a while, overthrowing the royal family and becoming an Italian leader. However, the situation in Italy is different from Germany, and the Italian royal family still retains a lot. Political strength, and there are many supporters in the civil society. The Savoy dynasty has not lost its popular support at this time. Mussolini cannot take the risk of splitting Italian society to satisfy his personal ambitions.
The influence of the royal family is still throughout the entire Italian society. Emmanuelle III is not a mediocrity. He does not have the dazzling political skills, but just steadily stays in the center of the power network and controls the balance of Italian forces. This is a figure similar to Emperor Hirohito. The Italian royal family took advantage of the war, but finally relied on a rebellion, easily evading the investigation and trial of war responsibility.
This time, Emmanuel III put the chips on the side of Badoglio. The starting point was actually the same. He was afraid that the Germans would ask him to count the old accounts. It was because of his rebellion in the World Wars that Italy only invested in the Allies. One side.
In the German dictionary, the king may have equated the betrayal. If the Germans can no longer be satisfied this time, the Savoy dynasty may really become history. He has seen more in these years. In view of the dismal scenes of those royal families in exile, they do not want to be part of them at all.
Since the German head of state hated Mussolini, then the resignation of the prime minister as a gift, presumably the apostle of God will be very happy.
Mussolini never dreamed that the biggest black hand behind the whole thing was the Italian king who he fully supported. It was Mussolini’s Fascist movement that saved the royal crisis, and when the dynasty again faced the threat of life and death, it was his turn to be abandoned by the royal family without hesitation.
ps: After eating, there is a chapter later. (To be continued.)
