Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

As soon as Germany occupied France during World War II in the original time and space, it immediately started to get excited.

First, factories and equipment were dismantled, and then various famous museum paintings and artworks were either sent to German museums or put into private pockets. In addition to things to watch and use, don't miss out on food and drink, especially all kinds of drinks.

At that time, all major wine-producing regions in France were forced to pay tribute to Germany in large quantities. These guys not only want to pay tribute, but also like to mess around. For example, the officials appointed by the German government to manage the Champagne region almost destroyed the entire inventory of the Champagne region, plundered and ruled tyrannically, and all the champagne they could find was They were all seized and sold to finance the war or to be used by the army.

Germany at that time was likened to a jackal at the door by the French. When they surrendered, they thought that the French would be better off if they didn't fight. They never imagined that after surrendering, they could only watch in stunned silence as boxes of top-notch wine collections that the French were proud of were moved into Officer Nader's private room. The wine cellar is collected, and Salon Champagne, with an annual output of less than 50,000 bottles, is squandered at celebration banquets.

The battle can be lost and the army can surrender, but our wine, champagne and brandy are absolutely not allowed to be wasted by you bastards!

At that time, the French people were much more self-righteous than the Italians who happily printed "bar drinking warriors" on their wine bottles and succumbed to the Fascists. They proudly formed a united front behind the battle and started drinking wine. The defense battle is no less exciting than a guerrilla fight on a certain road.

In the city, well-known French restaurant owners and wine merchants always played tricks on these German officers. As a result, the German officers always entered Paris's high-end restaurants with uneasy thoughts such as "Is the food I ordered edible?" "Is the wine I ordered real?" and so on. Some restaurant owners even brought mice to the restaurant. Shit was spread all over the floor in order to prevent the Germans from destroying the restaurant.

In rural areas, wine farmers, winery owners and ordinary people, everyone tries their best to find the most secret and safe places - blind caves at the end of wine cellars, secret holes in basements, sealed passages, abandoned Wells, corrals or vegetable gardens, etc., allowed their wine to escape the clutches of their enemies. Until the restoration of France in 1944, the wine war between the French people and Germany never stopped. Even after France was recovered, the war continued, but this time it was the French's turn to follow the Allied forces into Germany to steal wine.

Later on, Chateau Laurent Perrier became one of the most famous champagne brands in the world; the heir to the chateau at that time, Bernard Nonancourt, was a former French army officer, a resistance organization behind enemy lines, and heir to the chateau with many attributes. During the occupation period, he often caused obstacles for the German army. As soon as the German army escaped at the end of 1944, this man led his troops into Germany with Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division and snatched back more than 500,000 bottles before they were lost to the Germans. The stolen wine. This man's heroic act of stealing wine was finally awarded by the French army and he received the Cross of Valor.

In Yannick's opinion, these actions were simply ridiculous. Just for some wine to arouse the resentment of the people in the occupied territories, it was really a shameful act.

Of course he would not make these mistakes, and required every German soldier to strictly abide by the "Ten Commandments of Soldiers." Anyone who made a mistake, from private to marshal, would never tolerate it.

Just when Yannick and Pétain were chatting happily, Reinhard hurried in. "Your Highness, something big happened in Italy. Just now, Mussolini assassinated Vittorio Emanuele III."

"Poof!" The tea that Prime Minister Pétain had just taken into his mouth spurted out without any image. Fortunately, it was sprayed on the ground and did not hit Yannick sitting opposite. He didn't care about his image. He didn't even bother to wipe the tea juice from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Reinhard in disbelief and asked. "What's going on? Is that Mussolini crazy?!"

Reinhard looked at Yannick, saw Yannick nodded, and then answered. "According to intelligence, after our two countries signed the armistice agreement, Vittorio Emanuele III opposed Italy's war with France, so he and Mussolini had a quarrel. Just this morning Mussolini Rini held an army parade. During the parade, several soldiers suddenly rushed onto the parade platform and beat Vittorio Emanuele III and Crown Prince Umberto into a sieve with submachine guns. Now in Italy It was a mess.”

"..." Prime Minister Pétain's eyes widened in surprise. This Mussolini is really crazy! ! What grudge does France have against him? To attack France, he even killed his own king?

Yannick muttered quietly. "Is it possible that this guy wants to be the king himself?"

Prime Minister Pétain shook his head speechlessly. "It's not like this. To assassinate the current king and crown prince so blatantly, and then sit on the throne yourself? The Italian people will not agree to it."

King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy was the only son of King Umberto I. Born in Naples on November 11, 1869. He was named Prince of Naples on the day he was born. In addition to studying history, politics and law, he also received military training and served as a leading member of the Military Command of the Kingdom of Italy in 1887.

In 1900, his father King Umberto I succeeded to the throne after he was assassinated by anarchists in Monza. As a constitutional monarch, he actively supported the development of economic and social reform policies, and played a positive role in overcoming the social and political chaos and economic crisis in Italy at the end of the 19th century. In terms of foreign policy, he continued to maintain the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria, but strengthened relations with Britain, France, and Russia on the condition of recognizing Libya, which Italy had occupied through the Italian-Turkish War.

In general, this Vittorio Emanuele III was not only not an inhumane tyrant, but could be regarded as a wise king, and he did not push Italy into a situation of anger and resentment. How dare you openly shoot the king and crown prince under such circumstances? No matter how political an idiot you are, you wouldn't pull such a trick, right?

Yannick took a sip of tea and said slowly. "Maybe Mussolini has some way to solve these troubles. I'm wondering if he will continue to go to war with your country. After all, now that the king who opposed the war is dead, no one can stop him, right?"

"..." Pétain might have been worried before signing the armistice agreement with Germany, but now Vichy France has become an ally with Germany. "Now our two countries are allies. Even if Italy looks down on France, he must also be afraid of Germany, right?"

Taking advantage of allies so quickly? Yannick chuckled in his heart and nodded. "I never treat my friends badly. But the British are such bastards. Is Prime Minister Pétain interested in teaching them a lesson?"

"Teach Britain a lesson?" Prime Minister Pétain was a little confused. Aren't we talking about the Italian issue now? Why did it involve Britain again?

"Teach Britain a lesson, and teach it a hard lesson!" Yannick stood up and went to a giant map hanging on the wall, and tapped twice on a certain place on the map. "I am ready to pull out the two nails of Gibraltar and Malta, and I need your country's support."
