Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Mussolini was indeed scared. He never thought that in his eyes, a poor and backward China, a China where the army still fought with rifles, and that Tang Qiuli, who in his eyes was worthless, would be gone if he didn't take action.  , it was a bloody massacre of the Italian army. More than 40,000 soldiers just disappeared into the sea of ??the Eastern Pacific, and even boarded a fleet.

    It was a one-sided massacre. The Italian soldiers, who were crowded on the troop ship and had no power to fight back, watched in despair as the rain of shells fell from the sky and blew the ship they were riding on into pieces. How bloody it must have been.  In this scene, Tang Qiuli must have such a cold heart.

    Thinking about it, Mussolini trembled. He was really scared and knew that killing more than 40,000 Italian soldiers was just a warning from the Chinese Tang Qiuli. If Italy continued to participate in the war,  He would bear a greater price. The smell of blood wafting from the distant Eastern Pacific turned his contempt for the Chinese Tang Qiuli into a heartfelt fear.

    However, after all, Mussolini was a dictator who controlled a country, and he was not stupid. Now that Italy has paid the price, it would be serious to get the benefits promised by the Japanese as soon as possible. Everything else is empty. As for whether to continue  Let's take a look at the situation before getting involved in the war between China and Japan. Anyway, we don't have the courage now $¨J.

    The Italian party, government and military officials had not yet recovered from the Prime Minister's sharp turn. Mussolini took a deep breath and saw that they were still poking at each other like wooden stakes.  Then he yelled angrily: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and perform your duties and pass on the order I just gave you!"

    The officials quickly dispersed.  When the Prime Minister is extremely upset, who still cares about staying in the Prime Minister's official residence.  That was a complete fool, and the conference room was immediately empty.  Mussolini struggled to move his fat body and staggered back to the inner room.

    In the official residence of the F¨¹hrer in Berlin, Germany, Hitler put down the newspaper and said to the officials around him with emotion: "You have understood this time, my old Chinese friend is such a person. His actions are like thunder. This is just  This is the beginning. If Mussolini continues to insist on interfering in the war between China and Japan, the Italians will pay an even heavier price!"

    In fact, there were some words hidden in his heart that Hitler did not say clearly. With his experience and vision, he could naturally guess the circumstances under which more than 40,000 Italian soldiers were killed in one fell swoop.  Based on his understanding of the Italians, he was probably killed after surrendering. Of course, Hitler did not object to Tang Qiuli's approach.  Sometimes, massacre is a method, and I often use it.

    Tokyo, the capital of Japan.  In the palace of Emperor Hirohito, Japanese Army Minister and Chief of General Staff of the base camp Koichi Yoneuchi.  I have returned home with great honor and brought it back with me at the same time.  There are also more than 500 pilots recruited in Europe in the first batch. He was summoned to the palace today because His Majesty the Emperor summoned him.

    Emperor Hirohito had a few newspapers in his hand. When he saw Mitsuichi Minai hurried in, he saluted and said, "My dear Minai, I believe you already know that the Italian army lost more than 40,000 people and a fleet in the Eastern Pacific.  Got the news?"

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I have read the newspaper." Minaiguang replied with his head lowered.

    Emperor Hirohito's eyes flashed with a trace of gloom, and he said: "What do you think of this matter? I'm worried that Mussolini will be frightened by the actions of that China devil and shrink back, and he will no longer dare to send follow-up reinforcements to Japan.  "

    Miuchi Koichi secretly glanced at Emperor Hirohito before replying: "I have the same worries!"

    "Alas!" Emperor Hirohito sighed sadly and said dryly: "Then what are you going to do? Without the deep intervention of the Italians, it will be difficult for the empire to resist the invasion of the China Devil Tang Qiuli's troops!"

    ¡°My minister is preparing to fly immediately to San Jose in Central America, where the Italian army is assembled, and urge the Italians on the spot to continue to fulfill the treaty with the empire!¡± Koichi Minei replied succinctly.

    A smile appeared on Hirohito's sallow face, and he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then go ahead and do it! My dear Minai, uniting Italy to fight against the invasion of China is the most important national policy of the empire at present.  Only when the Italians are tied to the imperial chariot will we have a chance to win!¡±

    "Immediately ask the General Staff to make arrangements for the Italians to take over the sovereignty and military defense of the Ryukyu Islands, Hawaiian Islands, and Kyushu Island as soon as possible. As long as the Italians get tangible benefits, they will willingly stand with the empire.  That greedy Mussolini has been coveting Asia for a long time, and we will satisfy him. As long as the empire can overcome the current difficulties, I will bear it no matter how high the price is! "

    The diplomatic letter from the Japanese came in a timely manner.??When Mussolini was about to get the benefits, the Japanese took the initiative to come to the door, and what they gave was sovereignty. In other words, from this moment on, Italy already had three more dollars in the Asia-Pacific region.  overseas territories.

    This good news allowed Italian Prime Minister Mussolini to shake off the depressed mood he had been hit by in the past few days and become sunny. However, he did not thank the Japanese for their kindness. He believed that Italy deserved it.  of.

    Mussolini immediately held a meeting to study the selection of military and civil administrators stationed in the Hawaiian Islands, Ryukyu Islands and Kyushu Island. These were three plates of freshly baked delicacies, exuding an alluring aroma. Various factions of the Italian party, government and military,  They all wanted to swallow it in one gulp, so the disputes at the meeting were very fierce. The various factions refused to give in to each other, and they were quarreling and spitting. The whole world was darkened by the quarrel.

    In this regard, Mussolini also felt a headache. Balancing the interests of various factions has always been the biggest problem for those in power. They are all close friends who have followed him for many years and are loyal. They have made great contributions to controlling the Italian political power. That one  Neither can be biased.

    The meeting lasted for three days, and the big guys from each faction went into battle shirtless with their arms and sleeves rolled up. Still, no results were achieved that all factions were satisfied with. On the fourth day, as soon as the meeting started, there was a quarrel in the conference room.  At this moment, Italian Foreign Minister Ciano, who was also Mussolini's son-in-law, got up and went outside to answer a phone call.

    When he returned to the conference room, the foreign minister looked lost and his eyes were straight. Mussolini felt his heart sink when he saw his son-in-law's attitude and hurriedly asked: "Ciano, what happened?"  What happened?"

    "Prime Minister, I just received news that the Ryukyu Islands and Hawaiian Islands have been occupied by the squadron!" Ciano replied in a dry voice.

    "What?" Not only Mussolini was stunned, but also the officials who were making the noise were stunned. Suddenly, the conference room was silent, and everyone looked at Ciano.

    Mussolini¡¯s eyes were as wide as light bulbs. He stood up and asked, ¡°Ciano, is the news reliable?¡±

    "Absolutely reliable!" Ciano swallowed his saliva and replied dryly: "The Japanese ambassador to Italy personally informed that the Chinese have dispatched a large fleet and a large number of infantry troops to the Ryukyu Islands and Hawaiian Islands.  The Japanese army launched a fierce attack!"

    "After two days of fierce fighting, the tens of thousands of Japanese defenders stationed on the Ryukyu Islands and Hawaiian Islands were wiped out. The news was sent back by the Japanese before they died. In addition, I also confirmed the situation through other channels!"

    Mussolini was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped on his chair, with his head hanging down, without saying a word. Dozens of party, government and military officials also kept their mouths shut, and their moods were extremely complicated.  The tempting delicacy, freshly baked, was swallowed by the Chinese in two pieces. In view of the previous lessons, it could not be taken back by force. The Italians felt bitter and depressed.

    "Let's adjourn the meeting!" Mussolini waved his hands feebly and said, "The fat we are fighting for is gone, why are we still arguing? Go ahead and do what you have to do!"

    As for Kyushu Island, Mussolini at this time was not in the mood to deploy more manpower and take over some bullshit sovereignty. It was basically part of the Japanese archipelago. Even if he got it, he couldn't keep it. In the end, it would be taken away by the Chinese. Tang Qiu  The ambition to capture the Japanese mainland is already obvious, and he is not that stupid yet. The biggest hope now is the western part of the United States, which is still in the hands of the Japanese. It is also the only interest that Italy can obtain and keep.

    Hitler, the head of state of Germany, was always paying attention to all Tang Qiuli's military operations in the Pacific. When he learned that the squadron had occupied the Hawaiian Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, he locked himself in his office and looked at the map for a long time, feeling sorry for himself.  An old friend was shocked and sighed at his old-fashioned and ruthless tactics.

    Tang Qiuli's series of military operations had only one ultimate goal, which was to cut off the Italians' thoughts. The benefits in the four occupied areas promised by the Japanese were also bargaining chips to attract Mussolini. Now, two of them were attracted by him.  was taken away, and the Japanese could no longer offer a heavier bargaining chip. The possibility of Italians being deeply involved in the Sino-Japanese War has become subtle. Mussolini must be weighing it now.

    "Then what's the next step? What other unexpected moves will this old friend of mine make? Where will his fist hit?" Hitler was thinking about this problem. There were only two targets, one was Japan, and the other was the Japanese.  The western occupation zone of the United States was promised to the Italians. Judging from the current situation, the Chinese attack on the Japanese mainland is about to begin!

    The whole world¡¯s attention has been drawn to the Asia-Pacific region. After a month of intense and meticulous preparations,?Deputy division commander General Liu Tiehan, commanding the 26 mechanized infantry brigades, ten tank brigades, and ten artillery brigades of the East Point, under the cover of the Northern Flying Group fighter formation, crossed the Bering Islands at the fastest speed.  Strait, kicked off the invasion of North America.
