- The Turin Uprising broke out!
This was an uprising that no one could have predicted before. It was just an ordinary protest. But when Wang Weiyi intervened, everything changed.
Turning opportunities that were not opportunities into opportunities is what Wang Weiyi is best at doing.
As the mayor of Turin, Catadona could not imagine what was happening. He was involuntarily involved in the uprising.
Dinakale, Giorgio, Congio, almost everyone betrayed Catadona. In fact, to be precise, it can't be said to be a betrayal. It just dragged Catadona completely into this muddy water.
The establishment of the "Republic of Turin" was somewhat sudden, but it was inevitable. At this time, Catadona must make his own choice:
Should we support the "Republic of Turin" or become the enemy of the "Republic of Turin"?
Catadona is not a fool. He knows what choices he can make in such a situation.
He finally decided to gamble with fate, or succeed and become a hero in Italy. Or fail and put yourself on the guillotine.
At 10 a.m. on March 27, 1966, Catadona, the mayor of Turin, Italy, issued his own statement. He announced his support for the uprising in Turin and his willingness to fight for the freedom and survival of Turin. At the same time, he also announced his acceptance of the position of president of the "Republic of Turin".
At the same time, Turin Police Chief Giorgio and General Congio, commander of the Itagu Infantry Division in Turin, also announced that they were supporters of the uprising
Catadona appointed Giorgio Prime Minister of the Republic and Congio as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic. Promoted to Marshal. Appointed his senior staff member Dinakale as the Republic's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He personally occupied important positions within the Republic and Manuscia, who led the armed uprising, was only appointed as the Vice President of the Republic and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces
At the same time, Manusia was also assigned a special task by President Catadona. Arm all the insurrectionists and set up defense lines outside the city of Turin to deal with the imminent attack by the Italian dictator Vittorio's troops.
Manucia and these rebels were deprived of the fruits of the uprising, and they were nothing more than victims
But Manuscia and his followers didn't care, what they wanted was the true freedom of Turin. They took those crude weapons and received the few ammunition and explosives allocated to them by Commander-in-Chief Kongjiao. Singing songs, he walked onto the battlefield.
They swore to defend this city with their lives and blood!
At this time, "Mr. Moyol" paid a visit to the President of the Republic of Turin, Mr. Catadona, and important officials of the Republic.
He appeared as the "Plenipotentiary Envoy of Mr. Pipondu", which also made Dinakale and his companions respect him.
Catadona is very strange. Why would my own officials be so respectful to a young man? He probably would not have known that it was Mr. Pipondu's checks that were largely responsible for the functioning of the "Republic of Turin."
"I come on behalf of the 'Freedom Alliance'" Wang Weiyi did not directly name Mr. Pipondu, but used the title "Freedom Alliance" for the first time: "I can assure you, President Sir, this is an alliance with great wealth and power. We can do everything we think is impossible, and we can get all the help we can get for you"
Catadona didn¡¯t quite understand: ¡°What kind of help can you provide us, Mr. Moyol.¡±
"We will provide you with a loan of 1.5 million US dollars." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "I am sure that this loan can bring you great help At the same time, a large amount of weapons and ammunition are being transported to Turin On the road Mr. President, I need you to believe that the Republic of Turin is by no means fighting alone"
The words of "Mr. Moyol" made Catadona, who was originally less confident, become excited: "If it is really what you said, then this will be crucial to our victory. But we are now Need allies. Ah, I think Germany might be a good choice?"
"No. Mr. President, we cannot choose Germany for the time being." Wang Weiyi said quickly: "If the Republic of Turin declares an alliance with Germany, it will soon arouse the anger of the United States, and they will not hesitate to choose to support the great dictator Vettori Oh, carrying out the most brutal and bloody suppression of the newborn republic is not what we want to see Moreover, Germany cannot directly provide assistance to you"
KataDona nodded, he now trusts "Mr. Moyol" even more
Wang Weiyi¡¯s ultimate goal is to break Italy and the United States and deal a fatal blow to the Allies, but now is obviously not the time. What he has to do now is how to let the Republic of Turin survive if it causes a chain reaction in Italy.
Then, is the best time for him to implement his ultimate goal
"I think the United States is also waiting and watching" Wang Weiyi said slowly: "The poor performance of the Italian army on the battlefield has caused great dissatisfaction in the United States, especially with Vittorio. A new regime can allow Vittorio to continue begging for mercy from the United States, especially when Vittorio's army is unable to suppress the Republic, so my judgment is that the United States will never interfere with the Republic in the early stage Mr. President, you can take advantage of this rare and precious time to send a strong message to the United States. The Republic is only against the dictator Vittorio, not against the alliance with the United States. The survival of the Republic is for the Allies. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages"
Catadona nodded frequently, yes, this is the best choice in the current situation
"Mr. Moyol, thank you for your efforts to the Republic." Congeo said very respectfully: "But we still have to face a serious problem. The enemy's counterattack will come soon, but we only have one Ita The regular armies of the ancient army, but what about the enemy? They have a comprehensive advantage, especially the aerial bombardment that will come soon. "
"Yes, this is something we should worry about." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "But what I can guarantee is that the Italian Air Force's threat to Turin will be reduced to the point of negligibility."
Money is always the most powerful weapon in Italy Mr. Pipondu's real envoy has launched a full range of activities in Italy
And now, Catadona has been closely linked to the "Republic of Turin", "Mr. Moyol" and his "Free Alliance"
Even if he wants to look back, there is no possibility
?¡
The great uprising in Turin. The establishment of the Republic of Turin shocked the whole of Italy.
"Those Italians who are suffering the same suffering as the people of Turin are very heartened. They longed to be as brave as the people of Turin and to use the same uprising method to overthrow the great dictator in Rome.
And Rome was in deep panic. Vittorio Mussolini knew very well that if the uprising could not be suppressed as soon as possible. Then a series of terrible things will happen in Italy.
He quickly appointed Donani, commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, as front-line commander-in-chief. Responsible for all commands in counterinsurgency. At the same time, Marshal Netas, commander-in-chief of the Italian Air Force, was ordered to directly direct the bombing of Turin.
But there is one thing that Vittorio Mussolini probably did not expect. As a friend of Mr. Pipondu for many years, Marshal Netas has long been secretly bribed.
And this is why Wang Weiyi said that Turin will never be bombed by the Italian Air Force
War, in many cases, does not necessarily have to be resolved on the battlefield.
¡°The power of money and political mediation will do what airplanes and artillery cannot.
Marshal Netas "faithfully" carried out the leader's order and immediately ordered the Manis Air Force Base closest to Turin to launch a bombing of Turin.
But after receiving a secret order from Marshal Netas and being a close friend of the marshal, General Enise, the commander of the Manis Air Force Base, already knew what to do
A large number of planes appeared over Turin. This immediately caused uncontrollable panic among the people of Turin. Once Turin is bombed, the confidence and morale of the resistance will be seriously frustrated. If the position is not firm, the uprising may even be given up.
But. Those Italian planes seemed to be blind, and the bombs they dropped landed aimlessly thousands of miles away from the bombing target.
Turin, as "Mr. Moyol" assured, did not suffer any substantial damage at all
This will boost the morale of the resisters
What¡¯s more, what makes Vittorio even more blameless is that the Italian Air Force¡¯s backward aircraft models and poor pilot skills are known to the world. They are simply unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of bombing alone.
Once the threat from the air is removed, the rebels in Turin will only have to face attacks from the ground.
The commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, Donani, as a confidant supported by Vittorio Mussolini, was still very loyal to the dictator. When he arrived in TurinAfter reaching the front line, he immediately issued the order to attack.
A large number of old tanks and armored vehicles, with the cooperation of infantry, launched an attack on the temporary positions constructed by the Turin rebels. Although they are all equipment from World War II, they still pose a huge threat to the insurgents.
¡°The artillery fire instantly flooded the battlefield of Turin
We have to admit that although the Italian army performed extremely poorly on the battlefield, the rebels in Turin showed a completely different fighting spirit from the Italian soldiers.
They used the crude weapons in their hands to fight to the death with the regular troops.
The 82nd Armored Division is responsible for the forward force of the 8th Army. The division commander, Lieutenant General Tiertini, is not particularly enthusiastic about fighting. In his opinion, such an uprising can be resolved through negotiation and is completely satisfactory. Some demands of the insurgents, rather than bloodshed.
No matter what. Those he wants to suppress are his own compatriots
It was precisely driven by this mentality that the 82nd Armored Division's attack was not very violent.
But the threat still exists
?¡
"In today's attack, the 82nd Armored Division conducted a total of two attacks." In the temporary "Office of the President." Marshal Congio gave a brief introduction to the battle: "The performance of the civilian armed forces still surprised me. They actually successfully repelled two attacks by the 82nd Armored Division. However, they also lost more than a hundred people."
From Congio¡¯s introduction, Wang Weiyi could quickly determine that the Italian regular army¡¯s attack was not violent. Otherwise, with the loss of more than a hundred civilians, it would be impossible to withstand the attack of an armored division.
"The threat still exists." Wang Weiyi pondered: "Who is the commander of the 82nd Armored Division?"
"Lieutenant General Tiertini." Congio quickly replied: "For this Lieutenant General, I think Minister Dinakale has a more say than me."
Wang Weiyi¡¯s eyes fell on Dinakale
Dinakale, the Foreign Minister of the "Republic of Turin", cleared his throat and said: "Yes, Mani and I have maintained a friendship for many years Ah, my friends all like to call Tiertini Ma Ni He is a very good person. He is opposed to the severance of diplomatic relations between Italy and Germany, and he is also opposed to the war. What he hates most is the bloodshed of his own people. He even describes himself as a. Totally unqualified soldiers"
Wang Weiyi was immediately interested: "Is it possible to win him over?"
"I think we can give it a try." Dinakale said quickly: "But there is a prerequisite. He also attaches great importance to his family, and he will never allow his family to be harmed in any way. At this time, his family All live in Rome.¡±
A smile appeared on Wang Weiyi's face: "I will be responsible for rescuing General Tirdini's family in Rome safely. But I need someone to meet with the general secretly to win his defection."
"If we can really save his family, then I am willing to serve as such a messenger." Dinakale replied without hesitation for a second.
He is not a particularly brave person He did this because he saw the hope that the "Republic of Turin" might succeed If some major projects could be completed at this time task, then I will have enough bargaining capital in the future political division of spoils
This is a little secret in Minister Dinakale¡¯s heart
?¡
"I hate this kind of war, and no one hates it more than me." The sky had darkened, and Lieutenant General Tirdini, who had finished the day's battle, looked at the sky blankly: "Our soldiers are bleeding on the front line, but the country is still Bloodshed. We got involved in a war that we didn't have to get involved in, and what did that bring us? The economic situation at home was very bad, and the dissatisfaction of the people was at its peak. What do you think of this? questionable?"
As a close friend of Lieutenant General Tiertini, he is the Chief of Staff of the 82nd Armored Division. Major General Pism also sighed softly: "I have been reflecting on why Italy is like this? From World War I to World War II, we have always been the laughing stock on the battlefield. That arrogance Mussolini, the great dictator, always liked to use his own fantasy to do everything, but the final result always gave him a head-on blow. Everyone knew that his son Vittorio was by no means a good successor. However, the dictatorship still made Vittorio the lifelong leader of Italy, and the successor of the great dictator was still a great dictator. They only cared about their own interests, and they never really considered Italy.?¡¯s interestsI think this is the fundamental reason why the current domestic situation has deteriorated so much"
"Mr. Pism, you can only say these words here." Tirdini's eyes were full of worry: "Once any remarks against him reach his ears, it will bring disaster to you. But I have to admit what you said. People who are full of greed and selfishness continue to lead a country, which only brings harm and pain. The Turin Uprising broke out, and I think there will be more and more soon. Followers. What will the future look like for Italy? Losing everything we once had? No, as a patriot I don¡¯t want to see this happen!¡±
Pism sighed deeply: "I know you are unwilling to shoot at your compatriots, but just an hour ago, Commander Donani called again, urging you to eliminate those who resist tomorrow. If you want to launch a direct attack on Turin, you cannot disobey his orders."
"This is the most painful thing for me." Tiertini slowly shook his head: "If I were ten years younger, I would even be willing to follow those insurrectionists."
"General, a man named Dinakale wants to see you immediately."
At this time, a report interrupted their conversation. Pisim glanced at the general: "Dinakale? That is our friend."
"He is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turin." Tiertini smiled slightly: "I think he should act as a lobbyist on behalf of the Republic of Turin."
"Then what are you going to do?" Pisim seemed to have some expectations in his words.
Tiertini adjusted his military uniform: "Let me see how the Foreign Minister is going to convince us!" (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
