Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 58: Luncheon

Italian cuisine continued from the Roman Empire, so that the Apennine Peninsula is known as the birthplace of Western food culture. Compared with the unpopular French cuisine, Italians pay more attention to benefits and taste. When it comes to diet, the Germans are much rougher. Potatoes, peas and pork are everything. At most, you can add a few hard-boiled eggs sprinkled with salt.

Italian chefs showed all the answers. The dishes at the lunch were rich and delicious. The unique charm of Mediterranean cuisine was brought into full play here and now. But for the guests who came to the banquet, the German head of state was obviously more attractive than the food in front of him.

Xu Jun still wore his famous uniform of the German Field Marshal, holding the marshal's cane with platinum head in his hand, and the knight's cross in the neckline gleaming under the crystal lamp. The uniform hand-sewn by Berlin masters perfectly shows the upright figure of the young apostle, and the red generals on the iron gray breeches are as brilliant as flames. Tall riding boots made of lambskin were painted black and shiny, and the heels of the boots were still covered with silver-plated steel shoe palms. The imperial heads walked on the marble floor of the court aisle, his footsteps ticking with a pleasant sound.

The guests waited quietly on both sides of the aisle of the restaurant. When Xu Jun walked past a certain guest, the other party either bowed or raised their hands in salute, just like they had seen the king of Italy in the past.

This is a grand welcoming banquet. There are almost two hundred officials and nobles present. These are the remaining backbone of Italy. Without any status or relationship, they are not eligible to appear at this banquet. on.

Before and after the Ninth Day War, the aristocracy in northern Italy suffered heavy losses. Some of them died heroically in the process of resisting the invaders, while others were met by rioters in their respective territories after the end of the war. Assault. The perpetrators were extremely cruel, and the attacked party was often killed in full, and the property was looted.

Among them, there are many wealthy families with private arms. They took up weapons to resist tenaciously, but the opponents were obviously stronger. In the end, the resisters only ended up with the entire army wiped out. This terrible thing is Frequent occurrences in the two weeks after the end of the war once caused serious panic among the aristocratic circles in northern Italy. Many aristocrats abandoned their luxury villas and farms in the countryside, and fled to nearby big cities with their property and their wives and children.

Regarding these **** cases, the Roman official's investigation report is that these people unfortunately encountered "fleeing soldiers scattered among the people", and the government stated that it is mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress these stragglers.

These nobles are not fools. After one or two times, they all understand what happened. So in order to save their lives, wives and property, the nobles in northern Italy enthusiastically joined the German camp. After being protected by the Germans, the "skimmers group", which was rampant in northern Italy, quickly disappeared.

Italian nobles know very well who is behind the scenes. This is Mussolini's method of revenge against the royal family of Savoy. The prime minister of the kingdom, who was born as a farmer, wanted to become a member of the nobility. He used to maintain a good relationship with the old noble class, and even married his daughter to Count Ciano. This good cooperative relationship lasted until the day Emmanuele III initiated the coup.

The northern Italian nobles are the largest and most loyal supporters of the Savoy royal family. Although most of the ancient families have gradually declined, they still hold a large number of contacts and resources inside and outside the Italian government. Mussolini believed that it was these nobles who supported him that Emmanuele III had the confidence to initiate this stupid coup.

When the armistice agreement was signed with Germany, Mussolini couldn't wait to start. Of course, his most loyal lackey, the officers and soldiers of the Italian Black Shirt Army, did not perform well on the regular battlefield. But he has a talent for being a robber. As a result, the matter became too big, and the German troops stationed in the north were provoked. If they had not established relations with the Germans in time, these people would have been sent to the prisoner-of-war camp again by unknowing German soldiers.

The brutality of these people helped the Germans a lot. They successfully let the traditional aristocrats in northern Italy put down their usual prejudice against the Germans and began to cooperate willingly with the invaders.

Most of the guests attending the banquet were from the northern provinces of Italy, and many of them were aristocratic class with cooperative relations with Germany. Compared with southern Italy, which is still controlled by Mussolini's National Fascist Party, Xu Jun also trusts these northerners more.

The contradictions between the north and the south of Italy are deeply entrenched, and I am afraid they will not be able to be reconciled in another century. Although Mussolini is dead, his party members and power still exist. Once the fascist party is eager to inherit the leader’s "willingness", the northern part of the war, which has been devastated by the war, has no power to stop it. Only the Germans provide protection for them.

It was the first time for these nobles to meet the German head of state. Although they had seen photos of the apostle in newspapers and magazines countless times before, when they saw the young leader in person, they were all impressed by the other's temperament and demeanor. Impressed, this European ruler is more handsome and handsome than the picture. The military uniform adds a military majesty, but does not damage his elegance. Standing among a group of luxuriously dressed high officials, he is like the sun **** Apollo. So dazzling.

The ladies of Italy are known for their passion, all the ladies and ladies present at the moment are looking at the handsome head of state with obsessive eyes. If it were not for the occasion at the time, one by one would wish to rush forward now. Flopped in the arms of the opponent.

The appearance of the head of state is so cute. Every European girl once had the image of a prince in her heart. She was blond and blue-eyed riding a snow-white war horse. Isn't it what she looks like?

Xu Jun felt the blazing gaze from the surroundings, but he had already gotten used to it. Compared with his experience in Paris, France, the Italian ladies at the moment showed quite strong restraint.

Xu Jun knows how strong his charm is. The love letters he receives every day in Germany can be filled with several sacks. Many of them are famous European aristocrats and ladies, and some of them have real princess titles. .

Being able to marry the most powerful ruler in Europe has become the dream of countless European families. Numerous girls of school age in European countries all dream of being the bride of the apostle of God.

In fact, it is not just the young girl who is madly fascinated by this head of state. The handsome and handsome head of the empire is also terrifying to those housewives. In addition to love letters, the Prime Minister’s Office will also receive Various types of postal bags, all of which are gifts made by German dragoons for the heads of state. Most of them are various flavors of sausage bacon and grilled snacks, as well as some knitted embroidery and simple handicrafts.

However, Xu Jun didn't have any thoughts about love at this time. He had only been in this time and space for half a year. Although he had gained supreme authority, he still didn't feel much security in his heart.

Before coming to this time and space, he was a master of history. He likes to dig into the bookworms. Strict tutoring made him very self-controlling in dealing with emotional issues. He did not have formal contacts until he was studying in Germany. Girlfriend. To put it bluntly, he is a master of learning and technology, and he doesn't know how to face a love at all.

After arriving in this time and space, Xu Jun has no plans to change this situation. Although he is loved and admired by many beautiful women, his vanity is very satisfying, but when he needs to really face emotional problems, Xu Jun usually Will choose to run away.

The reason given by the head of state is very reasonable. He wants to devote all his energy to the sacred cause of leading the rise of Germany. Compared with this great goal, personal feelings are insignificant~IndoMTL.com~Welcome banquet. During the meeting, Badoglio also represented the Government of the Kingdom of Italy and awarded the Grand Cross of the Knights to the head of state of Germany, thanking him as a foreign leader for his outstanding contribution to maintaining the stability of Italy.

No matter how lively banquets are, there is always an end. Finally, in the sad eyes of the Italian ladies, the head of state bid farewell to the guests who welcomed him.

When he walked out of the banquet hall, Xu Jun found Ribbentrop and an ensign officer waiting at the door.

"Ribentrop? Why are you here? When did you come out?" the head of state asked in surprise.

"Just five minutes ago, my head of state." The vice minister of foreign affairs replied respectfully, then took a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Xu Jun.

"This is a telegram that has just been received. New changes have taken place in Shanghai. A Japanese army force entered the public concession forcibly and exchanged fire with the guard group of the guard mission." The Deputy Foreign Minister reported. To.

"Wait a minute, don't discuss this here, you come with me!" Xu Jun took the telegram, and then turned around and walked away.
