Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Now, the prospects of Germany and Italy are in jeopardy, and it is difficult for them to adjust in time from the blows they have suffered in many places.

    Of course, it¡¯s not that there¡¯s no good news at all. The Chinese¡¯s strong performance in North Africa gave them a shot in the arm.

    The crisis in Sicily not only made Mussolini feel the crisis, but even the Germans also felt a strong crisis.  Once Sicily cannot be defended, not only will Germany and Italy be put into a passive position1, but Mussolini is likely to step down1. This will be the last thing the Germans want to see.

    Now, something must be done

    After the Chinese warned the Germans that the Allied forces would land in Sicily, but were not adopted by the Germans, they issued another warning. Once Mussolini is overthrown, his successor may be Badoglio1  He will be the new Italian leader most likely to cooperate secretly with the Allies.

    Now, the Germans have begun to attach great importance to the Chinese intelligence.

    In Berlin, a secret meeting was taking place. In addition to the German head of state Adolf Hitler and senior German military figures, there was also an intelligence chief who came from China specially to attend the meeting:

    Dai Li!

    ¡°Obviously, Hitler no longer dares to neglect the intelligence provided by the Chinese, especially since Dai Li 1 gave him a high evaluation in the telegram from Chinese President Wang Hengyue.

    Hitler seemed very polite when he spoke: "Have you been to Sicily?"

    Dai Li nodded: "Yes, Head of State 1. I have been there and had a meeting with General Roata, the commander of the Italian Sixth Army stationed in Sicily. Among many other things, he also told me that he was very concerned about the defense of Sicily."  The island did not have much confidence. He claimed that his forces were very weak and his army lacked good equipment. On top of that, he had only one motorized division; the rest of his forces were non-motorized. The British were doing their best every day  force, shelling the locomotives of the various railways in Sicily, knowing very well that transporting materials for repairs was almost impossible1 or impossible. I crossed the sea from Jovanni to Messina, and the impression I gained along the way was  : Almost all traffic has virtually come to a standstill during this short journey. There were, I think, six ferries there, but now only one remains. This one is treated like a museum piece.  ; it is said that this vessel is retained for a better purpose."

    "Purpose?" Hitler and his men were all a little curious: "What is a 'better purpose'?"

    Dai Li paused there. "Head of State 1. Some Italians explained, 'What will happen by the end of the war,' and others said, 'You never know what will happen next. 1 This is the purpose of the Italians.  , they don¡¯t care about the outcome of the war, they only care about how they will live after the war is over.¡±

    At this time, the German Chief of General Staff Keitel said: "F¨¹hrer, I have to say with regret that our German army in Sicily has undoubtedly become unpopular. This is easy to explain, because Sicily  The shipwrecks believed that we brought the war to their country. First we ate them up, and now we brought the English here, although I must emphasize this, the peasants of Sicily were  They really didn't care that the British were coming. They thought it would end their suffering. The general view among all people in southern Italy was that the war would be over when the British came, and the presence of the Germans here was just prolonging the war.  Go down."

    Hitler looked very angry, and Dai Li could see that the German head of state was trying his best to control his emotions: "Has the Italian government taken any action to deal with this attitude?"

    "No." Dai Li quickly responded: "As far as I know, the local officials who are still here have not taken much action against this situation. Several times I heard that German military officers brought  When they noticed this and complained about German soldiers being cursed in the streets, they said that because it represented public opinion, they didn't know how to deal with it. They also said that this is the mood of the people. If you are unpopular, that is your fault.  Caused; you requisitioned all kinds of things1 and ate up all the chicken mouths, but1 I do think that those local officials can make greater efforts to deal with serious cases and set an example."

    Hitler became increasingly angry: "Don't they want to take action?"

    "Very difficult" Very difficult!  "

    Dai Li shook his head and continued: "They just don't take action. The temperament of Sicilian people is different from that of people in northern Italy. But as far as the whole situation is concerned, they take a natural attitude toward things, which is very unpleasant."

    "What about the military situation?" HitlerHe then raised the question to his chief of general staff.

    Keitel smiled bitterly: "The enemy's air force poses an extremely serious threat to Sicily.

    Nowadays, the Italian fascist army is not filling up day by day. Not only is it short of soldiers and scattered, but its morale is also very low.  The 47 divisions responsible for domestic defense have very poor combat effectiveness.  Years of war, huge military expenditures, and the fact that many industrial centers were razed to the ground by increasingly fierce Allied air raids brought Italy's economy to the brink of collapse.  In 1943, the national industrial and agricultural production dropped by 3% compared with pre-war levels.  Name and 2.  %.  The country's budget deficit is as high as 87%.  billion lire, income is only 36x of expenditure.

    The rising prices, the shortage of food1 and the numerous exorbitant taxes1 have deepened the dissatisfaction of Italians.  Under the leadership and influence of Italian opposition groups, strikes and anti-war waves violently impacted Mussolini's shaky rule.  "

    "Those guys who deserve to be cursed!" Hitler finally burst out with his emotions: "Every one of them should be sent to a concentration camp!"

    "Head of state." Dai Li said calmly at this time: "After intelligence analysis, we believe that once the war situation in Sicily continues to deteriorate, Mussolini's regime will likely be eventually overthrown."

    Hitler and German officials were not surprised by this statement, and German intelligence personnel thought so too.

    "Control Italy as soon as possible to prevent the war situation from developing in a direction beneficial to the Allies." Dai Li said slowly: "We have deployed about 1,200 agents and intelligence personnel to Italy to spy on and stabilize the situation in Italy.  .¡±

    "The German army must provide full assistance!" Hitler's answer was very firm: "Italy cannot be allowed to fall to the side of the Allies under any circumstances. At the same time, yesterday I sent a telegram to our ally, your president, requesting China to **  The team intervened in the European war in the shortest possible time. Now that the Americans have taken direct action, we must give them the heaviest and most terrible blow to make the world war situation move in our favor!"

    This is an extremely confidential meeting.  At this meeting, Sino-German intelligence cooperation was fully upgraded.

    Now the focus of the focus is only one place: Italy!

    As Hitler said, once Mussolini collapses and the Italians turn to the Allies, they will be very passive for the Axis Powers.

    Now the Chinese ** troops are unstoppable in the North African battlefield. They have dealt a huge blow to the Allied Forces 1 and successfully killed their heroes:

    Bernard Law, Montgomery, Allied morale had suffered a serious setback.

    But the situation in Italy is not optimistic. The Chinese Army is actively transferring troops to Europe through Russia and other places. 1 But this takes time, and all time must be won by the Germans.

    The Chinese vanguard troops of 11 divisions were rapidly reinforcing Europe. At the same time, on June 1, 1943, the first flying group of the Chinese Air Force finally joined the bombing of Britain, and immediately assumed the responsibility of defending the skies over Paolin.  Task.

    All these actions indicate that China has completely intervened in the European war.

    In the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, President Wang Hengyue is also paying close attention to the war situation in Europe.  The huge victory in the North African War did not bring him much joy. It was an expected victory in itself.

    "When will the second batch of troops enter Europe?" Wang Hengyue asked this question with a solemn expression.

    "At the end of 1943." Zhang Xiaohuai quickly replied: "According to our analysis, the Germans were completely able to block the Allied offensive even without the assistance of the Italians, and caused their offensive to suffer a great setback."  This also buys us more time to mobilize our troops."

    There was a smile on Wang Hengyue's face.

    Yes, the Germans can definitely buy more time for China, because they no longer have to worry about the threat of Red Russia, and they no longer have to start the cursed "Barbarossa" plan!

    The only thing they have to do now is to use all their strength to block the waves of attacks from the Allies!

    And this, everything is created by one¡¯s own hands

    "It's time to put some pressure on the United States." Wang Hengyue said suddenly: "This country's geographical advantages are very superior, but when they put all their attention on the European battlefield, they should be distracted and have to pay attention to the coming  Challenge in your own backyard."

    Zhang Xiaohuai also smiled slightly.

    ¡° Sending troops to Europe is just a military choice, and a heavy blow to the United States is also carried out together.  While everyone is setting their sights on Sicily and Italy, another major operation is also quietly taking place.

    And this is also an action that is enough to change the destiny of the world!

    Now, everything has quietly started to move!  (To be continued
