Battle of the Third Reich

Italian cuisine continues from the Roman Empire, so that the Apennine peninsula is known as the birthplace of Western food culture, and the Italians pay more attention to the benefits and tastes compared to the French meal that is not a favorite. In terms of diet, the Germans are much rougher. Potatoes, peas and pork are everything. Add up to a few salted boiled eggs.

The Italian chef exhibited everything, the dishes at the luncheon were rich and delicious, and the unique charm of the Mediterranean diet was displayed here at this time. But for the guests who came to the banquet, the German head of state was obviously more attractive than the food in front.

Xu Jun still wore his famous German army marshal uniform, holding a marshal cane with a platinum stick in his hand, and the knightly cross medallion between the necklines, shining under the crystal light. The uniform hand-stitched by famous Berlin masters perfectly shows the tall posture of the young apostle. The red generals on the iron-grey breeches are welted, as brilliant as flames. The high riding boots made of lambskin are painted black and shiny, and the heels of the boots are also equipped with silver-plated steel shoes. The head of the empire walks on the marble floor of the palace aisle, and the sound of footsteps with a pleasant click.

The guests were standing quietly on both sides of the aisle of the restaurant. When Xu Jun walked in front of a certain guest, the other party either bowed their hands or saluted, just as they had seen the Italian king in the past.

This is a grand welcome banquet. The officials and nobles there are more than 200 people. These are the remaining backbone of Italy. Without any status and relationship, they are not eligible to appear at this banquet.

Before and after the Nine-Day War, the aristocracy in northern Italy suffered heavy losses, some of them died heroically in the process of resisting invaders, and others were attacked by thugs in their respective territories after the war ended. The perpetrators were extremely cruel. The attacked party was often killed in full and their property was looted.

Among them, there are many family members with private armaments. They took up weapons to resist tenaciously, but their opponents were obviously more powerful, and the resistance finally ended up in the end. The terrible thing happened after the war. Occurred frequently within two weeks, and caused serious panic in the aristocratic circles in northern Italy. Many nobles gave up luxury villas and farms in the countryside and fled to the nearby big cities with their property and wives.

Regarding these **** cases, the official Roman investigation report was that these people unfortunately encountered “fleeing soldiers scattered among the civilians”, and the government stated that it was mobilizing its troops and fighting all those scattered soldiers.

These nobles were not stupid. After one or two times, they all knew what was going on. So in order to save their lives, wives and children, and nobles, the nobles of northern Italy actively invested in the German camp. After being protected by the Germans, the "scattered bandits" that had been rampant in northern Italy soon disappeared.

The Italian aristocracy knew who was behind the scenes. This was Mussolini's means of revenge on the Savoy royal family. The prime minister of the kingdom, a farmer, wanted to be a member of the nobility. In the past, he had maintained good relations with the old aristocracy and even married his daughter to Count Ciano. This good cooperative relationship continued until the day of Emmanuel III's coup.

The northern Italian nobility is the largest and most loyal supporter of the Savoy royal family. Although most of the ancient families have gradually declined, they still have a lot of contacts and resources inside and outside the Italian government. Mussolini determined that it was with these nobles behind him that Emmanuel III had the confidence to initiate this stupid coup.

When a truce agreement was signed with Germany, Mussolini could not wait to start. Of course, his most faithful running dogs, officers and soldiers of the Italian Black Shirt Corps, these people did not perform well on the regular battlefield, but they were very Have the gift of being a robber. As a result, things got too big and provoked the German troops stationed in the north. If they did not get in touch with the Germans in time, these people were almost sent to the prisoner of war camp by unwitting German soldiers.

The atrocities of these people helped the Germans a great deal. They successfully let the traditional aristocracy in northern Italy put down their stereotypes about the Germans and began to cooperate with the invaders willingly.

Most of the guests attending the banquet were from the northern provinces of Italy, many of them were nobles who had a cooperative relationship with Germany. Compared to southern Italy, which is still controlled by Mussolini's National Fascist Party, Xu Jun also trusts these northerners more.

The contradiction between Italy's north and south has been deeply entrenched, and I am afraid that it cannot be reconciled in another century. Although Mussolini was dead, his party and power still existed. Once the fascist mind was hot and wanted to inherit the leader's "will," the northern part of the war that was so badly damaged in the war had no power to stop it. Only the Germans provided protection for them.

These nobles were the first to see the German head of state. Although they had seen countless photos of the apostle in newspapers and magazines before, when they saw the young leader with their own eyes, they were all impressed by their temperament and style. This European ruler is more handsome and handsome than in the photos. The military uniform adds a military dignity, but without compromising his elegant temperament. Standing in the middle of a group of distinguished high-ranking officials, it is as dazzling as the sun **** Apollo. .

Italian ladies are known for being passionate. The ladies and ladies present at the moment all looked at the handsome heads with obsessed eyes. If they were not worried about the occasion at that time, one by one would wish to rush forward and pour in In the other's arms.

The appearance of the head of state is really too cute. Every European girl once had the image of a prince. Blond is riding a white horse. Isn't it like the look in front of him?

Xu Jun felt the fiery eyes from the surroundings, but he was already used to it. Compared with his experience in Paris, France, the Italian ladies at the moment showed considerable restraint.

Xu Jun knows how powerful his charm is. In Germany, he receives several sacks of love letters every day. Many of them are famous aristocrats in Europe, and some of them still hold the title of true princess.

Being able to marry the most powerful ruler in Europe has become the dream of countless European families. Numerous girls of all ages in European countries dream of being the bride of God's apostle.

In fact, it’s not just Huaichun’s young girl who is fascinated by this madman, handsome and handsome heads of empire, but also terrible lethality to those housewives. In addition to love letters, the Prime Minister’s Office will receive various specifications The parcels are all gifts made by the German Dragoons for the head of state, most of them are sausage bacon and baked snacks of various flavors, as well as some knitted embroidery and simple handicrafts.

However, Xu Jun didn't have the idea of ​​love and love at this time. He had just passed half a year to this time and space. Although he had obtained supreme authority, he still didn't feel much security in his heart.

Before coming to this time and space, he was a history scholar and liked to drill the old bookworms. The strict tutoring made him very self-discipline in dealing with emotional issues. He didn't have a formal girlfriend until he studied in Germany. To put it bluntly, he is a tyrant and a technical mansion, and he has no idea how to face a love.

After this time and space, Xu Jun did not intend to change this situation. Although he was loved and admired by many beauties, his vanity was very satisfied, but when he was really required to face emotional problems, Xu Jun would usually choose far Flee away.

The reason given by His Excellency the Head of State is very straightforward. He has to devote all his energy to the sacred cause that led to the rise of Germany. Compared with this great goal, personal feelings are negligible.

The welcome banquet went very smoothly. During the banquet, Badogrio also represented the Royal Government of Italy and presented a medal of knighthood to the German head of state. Thank him as a foreign leader for his efforts to maintain the national stability of Italy. Excellent contribution.

Even the most lively banquet always has an end. In the sad eyes of Italian ladies, the head of state said goodbye to the guests who welcomed him.

As he walked out of the banquet hall, Xu Jun found Ribbentrop and an ensign officer standing at the door and waiting.

"Ribbentrop? Why are you here? When did you come out?" the head of state asked in surprise.

"Just five minutes ago, my head of state." The Vice Foreign Minister replied respectfully, and immediately took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Xu Jun.

"This is the telegram I just received, and there have been new changes in Shanghai. A Japanese army force forcibly entered the public concession and exchanged fire with the guard brigade guarding the mission." The Deputy Foreign Minister reported.

"Wait a minute, don't discuss these here, you come with me!" Xu Jun took the telegram and then turned and strode away.

ps: On the last day of the month, tomorrow is a new beginning, cheer yourself.

Thank you for your encouragement and support, thank you bookmates for their rewards and monthly tickets, I will continue to work hard.
