Germany has lost a prime minister who is like a god of the sea. The impact of this incident will not fade so easily. At least the handover of German internal affairs will last for a long time.
Augustus is worthy of being a very powerful person. He was trying his best to disperse what he wanted to ask before he died. He handed over all the industrial matters to Speer, and the facts also proved that Speer was worthy of being an expert in organizing industrial production. He alone shouldered the burden of industrial restructuring in Germany, and prospered the whole industry in Europe.
In the foreign affairs part, Ribbentrop took over Germany''s diplomacy, and then Germany completed a series of treaty exchanges with northern Britain, including the confirmation and assignment of the border, the ownership of North Sea minerals to Germany, and Germany''s support for northern Britain in defense.
In terms of the remaining internal affairs, dominis is worthy of being a student of Augustus. From the aspect that he took over the work left by Augustus, it seems that the new Prime Minister of the empire is not enough to develop, but he is more than enough to keep success. Therefore, although there are many problems in the handover of internal affairs, there is no unnecessary confusion.
However, there is no way for akkado to go back to the eastern front. After all, without a calming sea needle in Berlin, akkado has to stay in his home and stabilize the rear ↗， The specific situation of our country has changed. After all, it''s a transitional period, and the head of state, akkado, can play a role in stabilizing people''s hearts.
One of the important problems that Augustus left behind was that there was a difference in the diplomatic caliber of the axis countries. Dominis and Ribbentrop are meeting with akado at the Fuehrer''s residence because of this matter, and they report this very difficult matter to the Fuehrer.
"My head of state. More than half a month ago, American troops landed in Australia, and now they are fighting with the remnant Japanese troops in the western part of Australia... "Dominis briefly introduced the situation. The whole empire was collecting these intelligence from abroad, some from the enemy''s radio stations, and some from the regular reports of spies.
"The problem is that when the United States landed in Australia, we, as a solid ally of northern Britain, showed our attitude on this matter." What ribentrop held in his hand was a short statement issued by akado at the wolf den: "the imperial position you expressed at that time was:" from now on, if the US troops do not leave the territory of the axis allies, the war will never end! "
As he spoke, he put down the document in his hand, then picked up another document and said to acardo: "but my head of state, the leader of Italy, Mussolini, did not show Italy''s attitude. They chose to be silent on this matter. It is not a good relief."
"Mussolini... I can''t see that he still has the ability to do it!" Acardo sneered, and then went on: "has this matter been communicated with the Italian Embassy? Do you know what they think? "
"The staff of the Italian Embassy don''t know what their leaders are doing. We have our own people in them, so we can be sure that this kind of diplomatic action was made by their own people, and they didn''t consult with their embassy..." dominis said regretfully: "now it seems that they are in this matter, May have made a very irrational decision. "
After the Balkan War, Italy began to lack interest in expansion. They are more interested in developing Libya''s oil fields, and then revel in annexing part of the Balkans. Mussolini is very satisfied with the benefits of Italy at this stage. He is not willing to carry out high-risk expansion, but hopes to end the war as soon as possible and turn vested interests into "fait accompli".
Libya''s oil fields have helped Italy find the backbone of its future economy; The loss of Italian troops on the front line and the unfavourable combat made the Italians unwilling to believe in the combat effectiveness of their troops. In this case, Italy has been unilaterally seeking marginalization. Mussolini felt that it was in Italy''s national interest to let Germany fight with the United States and the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the leader is not very interested in the axis powers. He is more willing to talk about the economic problems of Italy and the long-term process of colonial development and integration.
Because of this, the Italian Navy''s blockade of the Mediterranean was delayed. The German sub fleet, which had originally planned to enter the Mediterranean, had to wait in Vichy''s French port because of Italian resistance. The route from Italy to the Black Sea also failed to meet the requirements of the German army to reduce transportation costs, which on the other hand also hindered the German army''s action plan in the Caucasus.
In fact, as early as two months ago, Italy began to advocate truce and peace. Mussolini''s idea was to "lose the expeditionary army, keep Africa and negotiate peace with the United States."
The specific operation process is: to provide Germany with hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops as insurance money to buy peace, then consolidate their vested interests in Libya and Egypt, and finally reach a truce agreement with the United States to completely end the world war. Of course, it''s not about Italy whether the German side ends or not, as long as the Italian side ends.
I have to admit that this foreign policy of Italy is really attractive. It adheres to the core idea that Italy has always dreamed of making the least effort and the most benefits. At least it is in line with the Italian people''s own appetite - they regard the whole world as a fool, and then only Italy is smart.
"Mussolini took me for a fool. And President Roosevelt, whom I never met, regarded me as a fool. " Acardo took a look at dominis and ribentrop, and said slowly: "the SS side was working out the corresponding countermeasures as early as six months ago. Reinhardt suggested that we use subversive means and kill Mussolini when necessary“ The attitude of the Italian King is very ambiguous. I can''t judge what kind of impact the other side will have on Italy''s foreign policy once it restores its power. " Ribentrop sighed and said, "before a designated Pro German successor appears, I suggest that it is better not to overthrow Mussolini''s regime easily, which will cause us trouble." Akado nodded. No matter how strong he is in this international issue, he is not as good as these talents. Therefore, at least in listening to opinions, akado does not contradict the other party''s offer of more suggestions. So he came up with an alternative: "in fact, in Africa, we have been focusing on training Italian Marshal Garibaldi. I hope he can become the new leader of Italy. " This Marshal Garibaldi, who has been working with Rommel, is general Garibaldi, governor of North Africa and commander-in-chief of Italian forces in North Africa. Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to marshal and became Italy''s national hero. And the marshal also has an unknown super background, that is, he and that Giuseppe? Garibaldi is a relative. The marshal Garibaldi has always been the leader of Rommel. He is pro German and believes that Germany''s military strength is invincible. Because of this, he has always maintained a good relationship with Germany in North Africa, which also makes the German like to deal with the Italian general. Rommel was able to organize attacks and hoard goods in North Africa because of the support of such an Italian backstage. After all, it would be easier for the German army to ask for something under the guise of Garibaldi“ You mean to make him Napoleon of Italy? Return to Italy from North Africa, seize power and be our loyal ally? " Ribentrop immediately recognized the rhythm behind the words of akado. With the participation of Fanny, a media tycoon, it seems that it is not difficult to create an Italian national hero“ Once the operation starts, Mussolini will know what we are going to do. This is a last resort. Now it''s still a bit... "Dominis thought for a while and said:" we should let the Embassy in Italy and Mussolini have a good talk and try to make him give up the eyebrows with the United States. "“ If, I mean if, our final action is forced to begin. My head of state, how confident are your troops that they can complete their overall control of Italy? " Ribbentrop was obviously not as optimistic as dominis. He asked the last thing he wanted to know. After thinking about it, akado replied, "we will do three things at the same time: first, let the Italian troops in North Africa and the east line support Marshal Garibaldi and support him to return home and seize power; Second, general Hote''s j-army immediately entered Italy and disarmed the Italian forces; Thirdly, the Ss will wipe out all the Italian leaders who obstruct our actions, including Mussolini and the king of Italy if necessary He pauses, then goes on: "the most complicated thing is to disarm Italy, but I think on the whole, we have at least 70% chance of successfully controlling the whole Italy." After hearing this, Ribbentrop nodded slightly. He didn''t care about the concrete implementation of these plans, but only about the success rate of things. Now that he had the statement of the head of state, he thought about it and said to acardo: "I will try my best in diplomacy to prevent Italy from withdrawing from the axis group... One month, you give me one month. If I fail, don''t hesitate, please implement the plan for Italy immediately."
