Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 57: appointment
Mussolini and Hitler are two people who are almost opposite in character. It is strange that they can get along in harmony when they are together, and they can further achieve a steel alliance.
Perhaps this is related to Hitler's thinking of Mussolini as the idol of his predecessors, but when he sees the essence of that predecessor’s strength in the outside world, the defeat of the Axis powers on the battlefield has already appeared, and the disadvantage has already It's hard to recover.
The Italian National Fascist Party miraculously seized power. In its development context, Hitler gained a lot of inspiration. It can be seen that in the early days of the German Nazi Party, many of them were from the system, uniforms and even flags. The Italian counterparts, such as the famous Nazi stormtrooper, have obvious traces of the Italian black shirt.
Mussolini was indeed a friend to Hitler. On the road of the Nazis to rebuild the German Wehrmacht, Italy generously provided Germany with a batch of important military technical assistance.
Of course, Hitler also retaliated. Even though Germany faced great pressure on the Eastern Front in the later period, Germany still did not stop providing Italy with weapons and various resources to help Italy maintain its front in Africa and maintain the normal operation of the fascist government. .
It wasn't until Mussolini was ousted from power that this ornately decorated balloon was finally punctured. Hitler despised all losers, and Mussolini finally lost the respect and favor of this head of state. The leader became a vassal of the Germans, and there was still a year and a half before the collapse of the entire Axis powers.
However, in this time and space, Mussolini, like Hitler, died prematurely and became the hero of each nation and country.
Although Italy has failed successively on the battlefield, Mussolini still has a large number of fans, especially the ordinary people at the bottom, who even regard this leader as a saint who saves the country.
Mussolini is certainly not a saint. He loves food and beauty and all extravagant lifestyles. In order to be worthy of his prominent status, he even quietly modified his file and sent his first wife in. Mental hospital. Even after marrying his second wife, he still maintained underground lover relationships with several women one after another, almost seeing one love one, just like a humanoid planter.
From the perspective of his love life, Mussolini is a complete scumbag, fortunately his offspring are constantly cleaning up this guy.
Xu Jun has always held an attitude of contempt for Big Chin. He knows the hole cards of the Italian leader better than Hitler, otherwise he would not care about the past friendship between the two sides and repeatedly beat the leader in the face.
Of course, now that the person is dead, let him dissipate in the Morrowind during the past holidays, at least the Führer thinks so.
When meeting with Mussolini's family, the German head of state was very cordial and did not put on the air of a strong leader. At the same time, the head of state did not hide his emotions. It can be seen that his heart was full of grief at this time because of the loss of a close friend. When talking about emotion, the head of state’s eyes even contained clear tears, which made those who were full of sadness. The families of the deceased were all moved by this.
After condolences to the family, the head of state ordered the personal adjutant to send away the grieving widow and five children, but in the end Ciano was left alone. The excuse used was to invite the former Italian Foreign Minister to a welcome lunch in half an hour.
The fact that Ziano sold his father-in-law, only a few high-level officials know about it. The Germans have a tighter tone, so no news has been leaked.
Ziano’s behavior was not exposed, so he did not destroy the relationship between him and his wife. On the contrary, because of Mussolini’s sudden death, the conflict between the young couple was alleviated. For outsiders, this is still the son-in-law of the late prime minister and half heir to Mussolini's career.
Ciano knew very well that Mussolini’s children would not have the opportunity to enter politics, because all the Italian forces would not agree, and more importantly, the German head of state would not allow it. The former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs believed that this "Apostle of God" would never want to see a Mussolini born again in Italy.
In Italy, the children of blood heirs are born with a strong appeal. At this time, only enough power is needed to push behind the scenes. Mussolini's children can easily take over the leader. It left a political legacy and even reunited the disintegrated forces within the National Fascist Party into a whole again.
Ciano knew very well that the Germans would not allow this to happen. In the usual manner of the German Nazis, even if there is a hint, they would act decisively to kill all possibilities in their infancy. Now they still have the lives of Mussolini's children, which can only prove that the Germans are fully prepared to deal with it. Ciano loves his wife very much and does not want to see her tragic death.
"Ciano, the last time I met, I remember it was in Paris." Xu Jun leaned on the sun lounger and reached out and picked up a cigar from the humidor on the table.
"Your memory is correct, my head of state." The former Italian foreign minister did not hesitate to address Xu Jun as "my head of state" at this time, and it seemed that there was no psychological pressure.
"How is this time?" Xu Jun handed the cigar to the other party.
"Thank you very much, my Führer." Ciano looked flattered and took the cigar from the Führer.
"Ada has returned to me now. I am going to take her to travel around the world after the funeral is over. Maybe she can forget the pain of losing her father." Ciano replied.
"This is a great idea. Your wife should be very happy because she has a husband who loves her so much. When you say this, I suddenly have to put aside these tedious tasks and get rid of this group of guards. , The urge to travel the world alone.” Xu Jun handed the cigar cutter to Ciano, and then picked up the special match from the table.
"My Führer." Disenhofen called out loudly.
"Okay, okay, I understand, Eric, this is just a joke." The head of state smiled and comforted the startled adjutant.
"Badoglio mentioned to me that he is going to arrange a position for you in the cabinet." The cigar was lit, and the Führer extinguished the match.
"For the time being, I don't want to go out to work. Over the past few years, I really feel a little tired." Ciano finished speaking and struck a match.
"What if you are working for me?" Xu Jun looked at each other's eyes in a very sincere tone.
"I don’t understand, what can someone like me, the head of state, do for you?" Ciano had considered similar questions, but never thought that the head of Germany would raise it so straightforwardly. .
"There are many things you can do, Mr. Earl, more than you think." Xu Jun and Ziano's reaction at this time were very satisfied. He turned his face and made a proud gesture at Weierle. expression.
"Thank you very much for your compliment, my head of state." I don't know if it was because of the conversation just now, Ciano said this title more smoothly.
"Badoglio will continue to appoint you as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy." Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray, then reached out his hand in the folder on the table and pulled out a document.
"Italy will also set up a European Cooperation Committee, and you will be the first chairman." Xu Jun handed the document to Ciano.
"European Cooperation Council?" Ciano received the document. He had never heard of the cabinet preparing to form this unit before.
"The main task of this committee is to coordinate work with friendly European countries, deal with the problems encountered by Italy in the new European order, and supervise Italy’s domestic industrial and financial system so that they can better integrate Our new order." Xu Jun explained.
"You will be the bond of friendship between Germany and Italy, Count Ciano." Weierle interjected.
"This position is too important. I'm worried about my ability." Ciano wanted this job from the bottom of his heart, but he was worried about the pressure he would face. After all, there is no Mussolini. Sheltered him from wind and rain.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is his business, and there is no pressure at all. However, the European Cooperation Council, although it sounds like an ordinary administrative agency, actually manages a wide range of content. If it has real power, in some In the field, they can even fight against the cabinet.
Although Badoglio has been in politics for a short time, there are many experienced staff around him. It is impossible not to see this danger. However, he still agreed to establish this committee. Obviously the head of state in front of him exerted pressure. Forcing the Prime Minister to agree to this plan.
"Ciano, have you lost your original self-confidence? This is not like the Count Ciano I know." Weierle encouraged with a smile.
"Don't worry about encountering unsolvable problems. You just need to accept this appointment. We have prepared a group of consultants with very working experience for you. Everything has been arranged, Ciano." Xu Jun renewed He picked up the cigar and took a deep breath.
"I understand, my head of state." Ciano has understood the meaning of the head of Germany, and must accept this appointment whether he wants to or not.
"Very good, I'm glad you agreed to take on this difficult task~IndoMTL.com~ Unfortunately, your promise to your wife may be delayed. I promise you that once things are on track, I will ask Prime Minister Bagdoglio to give you a half-year holiday, and I will personally arrange your belated travel." The head of state tapped his knees with his fingers, and he was very happy at this time.
"Thank you very much, my head of state." Ciano nodded respectfully and thanked him.
"The time is coming, my head of state." At this moment, Disenhofen reminded.
"The luncheon is all ready, Your Excellency, now the guests have begun to sit in." An Italian guard reported.
"Well, I solved a difficult problem, which made me appetite. I hope that the chef today has prepared enough food. I feel that I can eat a whole cow now." The head of state said a joke, from the chair Stand up.
"Obviously, I just drank a pot of tea and ate two plates of biscuits." Disenhofen sincerely admired the Führer’s good appetite. Since the day he followed the Führer in France, he has not noticed it. The bottom line of this foodie.
