The Third Reich in Desperation

It is not certain that Italy, which owns the Leopard tank, will turn against the water again one day, and come to an armored raid to blitz southern Germany.In that case, it is really nerve-wracking.

Don't make your neighbor's army too strong, this is a question that any politician should consider.Even cooperation among allies cannot touch such core interests!

"The army should start preparing, and the air force will start dispatching immediately." Mussolini ordered in a non-negotiable tone: "The navy has seized a British cruise ship and sank a British cruise ship cruising in the Mediterranean Sea." Destroyer. In other words, the war has already begun, and there is no turning back!"

Don't be in a hurry, everyone else Reinhardt is almost finished, but it is Mussolini who thinks he is the most ambitious, but there has been no movement.

The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than the paper. This describes Mussolini's current situation.

In fact, when Mussolini ordered to join the war, he did not forget to send a list to Reinhardt.

In the list, Mussolini clarified his point of view that in terms of the future armistice conditions proposed by Italy against France, France must be allowed to surrender land including the southern territories, Corsica, Tunisia, and French Somania to the Kingdom of Italy.

And Reinhardt's reply was also very polite: "The ones that were shot down belong to you. The leaders who were not shot down went to talk to the French. I believe they would not dare to refuse."

In Reinhardt's reply, the German head of state suggested that Mussolini should follow Italy's strategy to fight a war first, and wait until France is hurt, and see what the French can do to reject Italy's request .

When Mussolini thought about it, he felt that Reinhardt's words were reasonable, so he was aggressive and prepared to beat up the French first.

Although France had been basically defeated by Germany at this time, the "cautious" Mussolini invested a full 32 divisions of heavy troops and launched a multi-line attack on a front of more than 200 kilometers from Mont Blanc to the Mediterranean Sea.

However, before the Italian army had achieved success, the ships that they had not had time to recall, or were sailing at sea, or docked in foreign ports, were quickly seized by the United Kingdom.In other words, the war has not yet started, and Italy has lost one-third of its merchant ships.

This kind of mistake would never be made in other countries.It just happened that the Kingdom of Italy made such a big mistake, which caused its merchant ships to be detained without receiving a timely warning, which caused extremely serious and bad effects.

........

"It seems that the leader of Italy finally couldn't help himself." After learning that Italy hadn't even carried out mobilization and merchant ships hadn't been recalled, he declared war in a daze, Reinhardt, who has always been talkative I was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to evaluate it.

Looking at Reinhardt with a smirk on his face, Rose next to him asked with a puzzled look: "What? Do you think the Italians shouldn't do it now, Führer?"

Although he doesn't know anything about military affairs, Ross also understands that Italy's dispatch of 35 elite military divisions to deal with the defeated army in southern France has a great chance of winning in theory.

Perhaps Italy did not need to mobilize at all?

As for the merchant ships that are not to be detained, hasn't the Italian leader already explained it?After the victory, the surrendered France will naturally give up some merchant ships to compensate the Kingdom of Italy.

"Italy should not do it now, they should never do it." Reinhardt smiled and commented on Rose: "Even from the perspective of our alliance, Italy should launch an attack in East Africa. They did not come to France to snatch the fruits of victory from us. Since they are neither willing to discuss long-term strategies with Germany nor follow our suggestions, then wait to make a fool of themselves!"

Although Reinhardt suggested in the letter that Mussolini beat up France so that France could surrender obediently.But in fact, what he waited for was France to repair Italy well, so that this not-so-good conceited ally could learn a lesson.Also let them know that Germany's victory was not picked up, but also achieved abruptly. If they want to negotiate terms with Germany in the future, they had better weigh their own weight first!

"Just wait and see, France only needs to transfer 3 more divisions to the Alps, and the Italians will come and go back wherever they should." Reinhard predicted without doubt.

Of course, in fact, France did deploy an additional army to deal with Italy's surrender.The leader is none other than the newly promoted French general, Lieutenant General Berente!

Body 4 Chapter Eleven Entering the City

"Have you heard? I heard that the German army will enter Paris today." A reporter from a Parisian newspaper was discussing with his colleagues in the office. They worked at the Parisian daily and published news of the defeat of their own country's army every day. I am also extremely disappointed with the French army.

"My God, how so fast? They will enter Paris today?" Another newspaper editor turned pale with fright, staring at his colleagues around him, imagining his future.

Because the French government has been exaggerating the evil deeds of the German army through newspapers and other media in order to make France full of resistance to the German army.Therefore, the influence of the French people on Germany has always remained at an extremely bad level.

"These Germans are murderous demons without blinking an eye." An editor said: "Didn't an official from the government come to our newspaper last time to let us report the evil deeds of the German army in Dunkirk? I don't know. How will they destroy us Parisians when they enter Paris?"

"Who's to say no, I have to go home and hide," echoed another.

A female reporter retorted: "Why, I saw German soldiers when I was reporting on the battlefield in Dunkirk. They all looked friendly, and there were many handsome guys among them. When I passed by them, they He also smiled at me in a friendly manner. Could it be that this is all a random lie made up by people from the army and the government!"

His companion shrugged his shoulders and replied: "But I really don't believe in this statement. Although the Germans are hateful, the soldiers are not wrong. If you want to blame, you have to blame the devil named Reinhardt. The soldiers just obey orders That's all."

The citizens of Paris, who had never seen the true colors of the German army and could only get news from newspaper reports, were not so lucky in comparison.

They were all silent in fear, and they all believed that the German army was as terrifying and ruthless as the government and newspapers reported.

Citizens discussed one after another: "I heard that they will rape women and children, rob food and money, and arrest all men. Those who are strong will be sent to labor camps, and the old, weak, sick and disabled will be thrown into the wilderness to be fed to dogs."

Not far away, there is another fat French businessman who is asking his subordinates: "Have you found out clearly? Are these rumors true or false? I can decide whether to leave Paris today."

Further afield, various questions and answers took place one after another.The early withdrawal of the government and the army made the people who stayed in the city panic all day long.

However, on the morning of this day, some German vanguard troops had actually entered Paris, but these German troops did not stay for too long, because their mission was just reconnaissance.

They came to look for the main force of the French army, and when they saw that there was no soldier in Paris, the French capital, they naturally left.

These German armored soldiers roared past the edge of the city with their tanks, looked at the Parisian buildings with closed doors, and continued south to look for French troops.

And Paris, the capital of France, has no French troops to resist here, and the German army actually doesn't understand the reason at all.

And while these frightened French citizens were horrified to comment and imagine the German invaders, those German reconnaissance soldiers with dusty faces and a week without a bath were also commenting on their opponents.

However, their comments were not fearful, but mocking: "This group of French people is really shameful. They fled without even daring to shoot a single shot in the capital."

"Yes!" The commander of the reconnaissance force nodded, and then said: "You can't blame them, they also want to protect their capital from harm, I think if they dare to resist in Paris, then our The Air Force will drop 3000 bombs on them and turn their capital into a ruin. Then you won’t be able to find Paris. Because the city will disappear from the map forever.”

The commander smiled: "That's fine. Do you want us to clean up the battlefield on the ruins of Paris, or do you want us to wipe out the French army in the wild without a single soldier? I think it's me, I would prefer the latter."

Perhaps the city of Paris has not been so empty for a long time. Before the war came, because of the exaggeration of the French government, the French citizens hated and feared the German army very much, so they fled about one-third, 300 million Paris, France More than a million citizens fled before German troops moved south and approached Paris.

And now even those who have not escaped are all afraid to come out of the house, so the streets of Paris look so empty.

But who would have thought that just a few days ago, the fleeing citizens and the French troops were still crowded on various roads. They mixed with each other, making the traffic in the entire Paris area extremely congested.

And it was these hordes that crowded the roads that provided the Luftwaffe with the best targets.You must know that these crowded crowds are simply living targets for German bombers. At that time, Catherine ordered the German Air Force to dispatch thousands of bombers in one go, causing heavy losses to the civilians and French troops retreating south. casualties.

After the German reconnaissance troops discovered that Paris was already an empty city and the French army had fled south, the German army immediately decided to march into Paris with a large force.

The sound of tanks and tractor truck engines resounded in Paris, and the real German troops finally revealed their true colors in front of Parisians and left-behind officials.

A newspaper reporter stood on the street, looking in horror at these German soldiers who were described as demons by the local newspapers in Paris before, and a strange thought came to his mind: "Actually, the Germans really don't look like demons, but on the contrary, they They are just children, each of whom is only about 20 years old, and they still have childlike smiles on their faces, and they are also human beings, not so-called demons."

The first troops to enter Paris, France, was the only cavalry unit in Germany. They all rode tall horses, and the humming sound of horseshoes on the ground could be heard clearly even miles away. Clearly, these German cavalry tried their best to keep their horses in step, rolling forward on the roads of Paris, in order to let the people of Paris feel the might of the German troops.

Following the cavalry came the infantry division, each of them walked behind the cavalry with sonorous and powerful steps with resolute and deep eyes. Although they did not have the tall and handsome horses of the cavalry, they were equally sonorous. powerful.

And their tactical vests are hung with grenades, map bags and other small bits and pieces, which makes people look professional.

Behind them, they were all carrying firearms of different lengths, and the butts of the guns collided with their belts under their neat steps, making a framed sound. This sound was more like a marching song to German soldiers. Let them hit their stride.

These soldiers from Germany did not look sideways, some rode through the city on horseback, some walked through the city with neat steps, some drove armored vehicles or tractor trucks roaring past, but their number was a bit surprising , back and forth continuously, it seems that there are tens of thousands of people.

Body 4 Chapter [-] The Last Round of Attack

"This group of German cold-blooded cavalry and soldiers marched through the city of Paris with all kinds of weapons and equipment. Parisians will not be surprised even if they see any marching team. Because they walk in order Uniform, the slogan of the troops is sonorous and powerful, their eyes are full of murderous intent, but in fact they are only peasant children from all over Germany or Austria. Forget it, although they are riding fat and strong horses, they are actually not children?"

An American reporter described what he saw in this way.

Because of the propaganda of the French government, some Parisians imagined the German soldiers as a rock-solid, cold-blooded and ruthless army. Ruthless killing machines, anyway, in their eyes, the only purpose of German soldiers and weapons is to kill.
