The Third Reich in Desperation

Text Chapter 443 Italian Soldiers Out of Africa

Germany, Berlin, inside the Führer's residence.

Mussolini, who was seeking benefits from Reinhardt, didn't know that Rossi finally got tough in China.

Now Mussolini is staring at Reinhardt intently, trying to read something from the eyes of the German head of state.

Although Mussolini opened his mouth wide as soon as he came up, he proposed a bunch of extravagant conditions.

But whether to answer or not, it still has to be decided by Reinhardt, the justifiable French conqueror.

Of course Mussolini knew that it was impossible for Reinhardt to agree to all the conditions he proposed.

Yes, Mussolini was arrogant and ambitious, but that doesn't mean he was a fool.

On the contrary, Mussolini's skills in this negotiation were even quite brilliant.

Seek what is above it, and seek what is below it.

Mussolini, who knew his negotiating skills well, deliberately set the price high so that Reinhardt could bargain.

In fact, as long as half of his own requirements can be met, Mussolini will be satisfied.

However, to Mussolini's surprise, Reinhardt seems to be more generous than expected? !

I saw Reinhardt took Mussolini's hand, and sighed with confidence: "Mr. Leader, you have always been a role model for me, don't say you came to me today, even if you don't come, I will also take the initiative to share a part of my vested interests with Italy to strengthen the friendship between our two countries and between you and me."

What Reinhardt said was half true and half false.

In the beginning, he was indeed planning to give Mussolini some of the benefits.After all, Italy more or less contained some French troops in the south.

But he didn't expect that Mussolini would open his mouth as soon as he came up, and he ignored Reinhardt's rhetorical question, and kept talking on his own.

This gave Reinhardt a lot of insight.

He was a little surprised that a person like Mussolini could survive to this day without being beaten to death.

How else can we say that life has infinite possibilities?

Reinhardt, whose face was thicker than the city wall, just met Mussolini, who was not even prepared to have face.When the eldest brother met the second brother, it was really difficult to communicate.

But Reinhardt thought about it again, in fact, it doesn't matter if he agrees to Mussolini first.

Anyway, when Italy caused troubles everywhere and couldn't deal with it, they would naturally come to Germany for help as they did in history.

Instead of rejecting Mussolini now, it would make everyone lose face.It's better to promise him first, but not to fulfill this promise seriously.When Mussolini had to turn to Germany for help, he probably wouldn't dare to follow through on these promises.

At that time, only Mussolini will lose face.

Reinhard, who had found the "perfect solution", was overjoyed. He immediately held Mussolini with his left hand, patted his shoulder with his right hand, and boldly agreed: "Don't worry, the leader. After receiving the French indemnity currency, I will Do urge the Treasury to pay 40% of the war reparations in currency to the Kingdom of Italy."

so refreshing? !

Mussolini couldn't believe it for a moment.This Reinhardt even saved the bargaining process, he Mussolini proposed 40%, Reinhardt will give 40%!

Happiness came a little suddenly, and won 40% of the war reparations that the French gave to Germany in one breath, instead of the 20% or even 10% estimated by Mussolini.This made Mussolini very secretly happy.

But what Mussolini didn't know was.Most of France's war compensation treaties against Germany were paid in goods.

In other words, most of France's rations to Germany are oil, agricultural products, and industrial products.

As for the monetary amount of the treaty indemnity, there is only a symbolic 100 francs.

Well, Mussolini will actually soon receive the 40% indemnity currency that Reinhardt promised him.

Reinhardt didn't even have to say hello to the Minister of Finance, he himself would have given Mussolini the equivalent of 40 francs in Nuquers on the spot.

It's just that Reinhardt didn't want to reveal the matter so early to avoid embarrassment.

After all, the Europeans at that time hadn't tried the word games of the 80s and 90s.

Although he has become a little slender, it is rare for countries to be so shameless.

However, Reinhardt came from a later life after all.As early as when Germany implemented the "Treaty of Versailles", he played a game of words, turned the Reichsmark as indemnity into waste paper, and came up with a Reichsnyuk to use as a new currency.

It's just that Mussolini didn't accept the lessons of the French, and Reinhardt used word games to go around again.

Facing the cheerful Mussolini, Reinhardt continued to wave his hand, pretending to be proud and promised: "When Italy occupies Egypt, Germany will immediately recognize Italy's ownership of Suez. I, Reinhardt, will never Do not compete with the leader!"

In fact, this is an eternal promise entrusted by a grandfather to his grandson, who promised to live until the day Italy occupied the Suez Canal.

Mussolini was rather happy, because he believed that his army could completely defeat the British army in Africa and the auxiliary army recruited by the British army in Egypt.In other words, the Suez Canal will soon belong to Italy.

And Reinhardt was also happy, because he successfully sent Mussolini to Africa to do things, distracting Britain's attention.

The Third Reich and the British were at odds with each other, and they were at odds.Both Reinhardt and Churchill are ruthless people who will not stop until they kill each other.

Then, Mussolini led a large-scale war between Italy and the United Kingdom in Africa, which can largely disperse the pressure on Germany.

After all, in Europe at the moment, the top three countries in recognized strength are Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy.

Once the top two of the top three attack Britain at the same time, even in terms of public opinion, the British will not be able to survive.

Italy entangled the British troops stationed there in Africa, and Germany went to settle down and prepare to land on the British Isles.

The two-pronged approach makes it impossible for Churchill to take the lead. This is the ideal situation envisioned by Reinhardt.

But before that, we have to wait a little longer.

The British will not sit back and watch Vichy France own the Algerian oil fields, because in this way the Allies can continuously obtain oil from the French.

Therefore, based on Reinhardt's understanding of Churchill, the British and French African garrisons will soon have a battle!

As for the Italians... Reinhardt also prepared a nice present for Mussolini.

In Africa, the Italian army will definitely not be able to beat the British army, there is no doubt about this.

However, in Africa at the moment, it is not only the British forces that can fight against Mussolini.

Main text Chapter 444 Winning over (asking for a monthly ticket)

Why does Reinhardt hate Mussolini so much, but still wants to win over him, and uses Mussolini to win over Italy.

The reason is simple, because relying solely on Germany's own strength, it is not easy to send elite troops to the UK while leaving a large army on the Eastern Front to guard against the Soviet Union.

First of all, the choice of the landing site is very important for the landing battle.

The United Kingdom is broadly divided into four regions: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
