Imperial Overlord

Just this sentence, Ribbentrop was stunned there. He may know a general idea about the assassination of the Führer through various channels, but of course he cannot know it now. Li Le told Heydrich that the person who assassinated him spoke English.

After all, it was still a secret. If Heydrich was so stupid that he couldn't even keep this sentence a secret, he probably wouldn't have lived until 1942. Because Li Le will start earlier than the assassin and personally kill this stupid second-in-command of the SS.

So at this time, Li Le took out his identity as an assassin and tested Ribbentrop. Test Ribbentrop's reaction to this.

Did Li Le really want to kill Mussolini? of course not! Li Le is not a fool, planning to kill Mussolini at this time, isn't that idiotic behavior?

He has no reason to kill this Italian ally now, and even gives him a different path - if Li Le hadn't shot himself in the Berlin bunker in the end, then Mussolini probably wouldn't have been hanged from a telephone pole …

"What?" After being stunned for about two seconds, Ribbentrop finally recovered from his shock. He looked at Li Le with a look of disbelief, and finally continued to ask, "My head of state, are you sure?"

In the process, Ribbentrop went through countless considerations. He is weighing, weighing whether all this is an opportunity or a trap for him.

First of all, he is weighing whether the head of the empire in front of him is fake, or whether his order is correct.

Then, he was still thinking about what kind of benefits he would bring to himself by going to Italy to launch such a huge and dangerous plan to assassinate the leader Mussolini.

In the end, what he is most puzzled is that if he is in a normal thinking mode, shouldn't the Führer leave this kind of thing to the SS or the Gestapo to deal with it?

Murder! This is an assassination attempt! Is it not a joke that you hand over the command and preparation to a civilian official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Have you ever thought about the fatal impact on the Axis Alliance once it fails or the plan is revealed? Have you considered my ability?

How much Ribbentrop wanted to rush up at this moment, grabbed Li Le by the collar, and shouted these words out loud...

Unfortunately, after only looking at Li Le's sharp eyes for half a second, Ribbentrop flinched—this is Xiaoshou's fate, it's habit...

"Yes, I'm sure! I want you to get ready and leave for Italy tonight, is there any problem?" Li Le stared at the other party and confirmed.

"I didn't plan such a thing... It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the plan..." After weighing for a few seconds, Ribbentrop made his choice.

To question the identity of the head of state, he has to visit other high-ranking officials after he goes back.

In the same way, it takes more powerful people to persuade the Führer to take back his life. At least Himmler and Heydrich have more experience in killing people.

So, Ribbentrop decided to get out first, and then make other plans. He didn't even think about following Li Le's order and left Berlin for Italy tonight.

As for really killing Mussolini - Ribbentrop is not a fool, so he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

Even if Mussolini really turned against the Fuehrer, it would still be a matter of the Wehrmacht and the SS, and had a half-cent relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? The big deal is that I hold a press conference to declare war on Italy. At least the press conference is not life-threatening, right?

Who knew that Li Le laughed, with a look of smugness and satisfaction, and walked around for a long time before coming out from behind the huge work desk that made people play.

The smiling Führer stretched out his arm, slapped Ribbentrop's arm twice, and said with a satisfied smile: "Okay, Ribbentrop! My loyal Ribbentrop! Very satisfied with the response!"

"Assassination of Mussolini was just a joke, because I want you to go to Italy to perform a secret mission, and you must be mentally prepared." Li Le supported Ribbentrop's hand and walked to the other side of the office. In that huge reception area.

There are terrifyingly luxurious sofas here, as well as a giant reception table with a huge block of marble carved into the top—yes, these things, in addition to being highly suitable for human use, are surprisingly bulky.

It can also be easily seen from here that Yuan Xiansheng has a love and preference for huge bodies. Every detail in the entire office reflects the theme of "big", without exception.

Just looking at this office, it is not difficult to understand why the head of state likes giant weapons so much. It is estimated that the artist's strange aesthetic is at work.

In this way, it is not difficult for Li Le to understand why the real head of state who died would like to build a giant junk like the Basemarck; why would he make weapons like the Gustav cannon; why would he play that Plant a mouse tank weighing hundreds of tons; why stand in front of Speer's model of Berlin's giant building when you have nothing to do?

According to Ribbentrop, who had been mentally and physically tortured to the point of collapse, and still had a smile on his face, he sat on the sofa, and Li Le still had a satisfied smile on his face.

To be honest, Li Leda never thought that Ribbentrop was perfunctory and weighing. He felt that Ribbentrop in this state was ready for use—just like a part, after being hammered and polished, it could be installed on the The machine is on.

"Trust me, I don't need you to assassinate anyone. I have too many people doing murder for me, but I still have to rely on you to do my diplomatic work." Li Le found a sofa and sat down. The result was so soft that it almost felt like wrapping him all over.

Hearing the Führer say this, Ribbentrop suddenly felt moved by the grace of knowing. Originally, the kind of life that kills people and steals goods has no technical content, but diplomatic mediation is full of wisdom.

Of course, the main reason for this feeling is that the Führer just cancelled the stupid plan to "assassinate Mussolini".

"Although you don't need to assassinate anyone, your trip to Italy this time is not easy." Li Le said to Ribbentrop while sitting on the sofa, tapping on the armrest of the sofa.

"You must sign an agreement with Italy, an agreement that can be compared with the importance of the alliance between the two countries!" Looking at the other party, Li Le finally came up with his own plan.

"The negotiation is full of unknown factors. My head of state." After entering his profession, Ribbentrop immediately showed off. This is his domain, and the head of state has always trusted and never questioned.

"That's why I came to you, to test you personally, and to tell you so much." Li Le interrupted Ribbentrop's eloquence and said solemnly, "This plan is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. !"

Hearing the Fuhrer say this, Ribbentrop knew that this diplomatic activity was already important enough to make the Fuhrer nervous. He had to shut his mouth and listen to Li Le continue to talk about the plan.

"I need an authorization for oil exploration in Libya, which Italy has no right to ask about!" Li Le explained his plan. This is one of the most important steps in his steps to revitalize the German Third Reich. one.

Hearing Li Le reveal his plan, Ribbentrop frowned. This is indeed a diplomatic action that is not easy to achieve, and the scale is not easy to grasp.

Germany lacks oil, and Italy lacks even more. If it weren't for the lack of heavy oil supplies, Italy's huge fleet would not have been passively defended, allowing British warships to be a blessing in the Mediterranean.

So if you want to monopolize the oil exploration in Libya under Italian control, even if a contract is finally signed, Italy will probably default on the debt and get a share of the pie.

"Don't be too nervous, in fact, I am also willing to share these oil resources with my allies. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Li Le looked at Ribbentrop with some hesitation, and said comfortably.

"If they want to share some, then I can tolerate it. It's about 10% to 30%, it's up to you to weigh! The less the better! Understand?" Li Le took out his own request, this request does not seem to be too much.

Of course, if Ribbentrop knew about Libya's oil reserves and the scale of future exploitation, he might have slapped Li Le directly: Would you dare to be more greedy? Do you want some face?

It is a pity that nowadays, not only Ribbentrop and Mussolini, but even many oil exploration experts in Italy feel that Libya is a barren land without oil.

But with a little brainstorming, Ribbentrop realized a rather serious problem - the head of state seems to be very optimistic about the presence of oil in Libya.

"My head of state, tell me bluntly, before meeting you today, I have never heard news about Libyan oil. At this time, I have to pay all kinds of prices. Is it a bit too taken for granted that Libya has oil?" After a moment of his own language, Ribbentrop persuaded.

"Don't worry about this. Since I want you to talk, I naturally have my own plans." Li Le assured his subordinates confidently.

It's a joke, in future generations, he has been staring at the Libyan oil map more than once, and he has confirmed it thousands of times that there is no problem in exploiting Libyan oil with the technology of World War II.

And Li Le knew all the places where the oil was mined. He just had to send someone to confirm it, and then wait for the oil production and refining base to be built. To Germany, served the German war machine.
