Chapter 1035: 1036 Avoiding the Plague
If anyone still remembers the phone calls Acardo made when he was determined to raid Italy, then he should remember what the other party said on the phone: "No problem, my primordials are just a slight shortage in the hands of the people. I hope to use some of the reserve power."
Acardo agreed to this decision, so the German special forces drew all the personnel trained in the school and went to Italy to confiscate the weapons of the resistance forces. These special forces cadets were generally dispatched to less dangerous places for missions, and they also won a large number of surrenders for the Germans at these places.
Rennes was ordered to join two officers to arrive at this not-so-tricky barracks to confiscate the weapons of the Italian army and order them to remain neutral in the conflict. However, there was a little more variable than the plan, because Italy sent a tough Mussolini direct lineage to cause some trouble for this inclusion task.
So Alice directly killed the unlucky Mussolini direct lineage. When she met such a female soldier who used machine guns to shoot the enemy on the front line all day long, she said that he was unlucky. When this unlucky guy died, the situation was immediately controlled by the German army. All the Italian defenders cooperated to put down their weapons and accepted the German army's inclusion.
After all, these Italian soldiers were trained by the German army. Many people have seen the terror of the German army in combat quality. Coupled with the chaos caused by Mussolini's temporary turnaround, the Italian troops, who had not been used to on-the-spot play, immediately forgot the fact that they and the German army are no longer allies.
For these Italians, handing over their weapons to their ally Germans is not a manifestation of treason or cowardice. Some of them even support Marshal Garibaldi more, so it is natural to surrender.
The German tanks found a long-lost propulsion feeling in Italy. These armored vehicles with a large number of cavalry were advancing quickly on the Italian highway that was not very accessible. This can be said to be a real World War II exercise by the German team attacking Italy. The unmechanized German army, led by horses and leopard tanks, swept across the Italian army, which had no fighting spirit, like cutting melons and vegetables.
The German J Army under General Hort's command had not been fully mobilized at all. The only 8th Armored Army was divided into battalions and battalions because of its rapid advancement, and could not be concentrated to form a combat cluster. Now General Hort has only one SS 1O Armored Division as a reserve force, which looks very pitiful.
However, the Italian army had no plans to counterattack, and most of the local defenders did not retreat. Instead, they waited for the German army to enter the city and handed over the weapons in their hands to the German army who came to recruit them, even if they had completed their own work. The Italian army had exceeded 40,000, which made the German army unable to believe their eyes for a while.
Hundreds of thousands of Italian defenders put down their weapons and made the decision to incorporate the German army. On the one hand, Mussolini was inadequate in preparation for pre-war mobilization in order to cover it up. On the other hand, most Italian troops placed their hopes on the speculation that the German army was only targeting Mussolini.
After all, Marshal Garibaldi seemed to be easier to continue Italian power diplomacy, and the Marshal praised by this deep army. More than ten minutes ago, a statement against Mussolini was made in southern Italy, revealing the ugly face of Mussolini's abandonment of the North African Legion and devoting hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers to their own personal ambitions.
This incident made the Italian army turn a little more when facing the attack of the Germans. Although Mussolini quickly came out to refute the rumors, the morale of the army had already shaken, and the entire defense line was in a stage of collapse.
Soon the important port ******* announced its support for Garibaldi, and the defenders of Bologna also announced a change of flags and flags.
As the German army headed south, the Italians surrendered and turned against each other faster than the German Wehrmacht. Just in the 12th hour after the Italian Mussolini Group announced its withdrawal from the Axis powers, the Italian North African Expeditionary Force and Libya and other regions all supported Marshal Garibaldi. One hour later, 22 hours after Italy left the Axis powers, the Expeditionary Force stationed in the Balkans announced that it was on the side of the Axis powers.
Before Mussolini had time to prepare his second-level defense system, the German army had already rushed to the north of Florence and San Marino, occupying all the northern parts of Italy. The price paid by the German army to occupy such a vast area was the price of 240 paratroopers killed and 170 people injured.
General Hort had no confidence in his Italian offensive a day ago because there were too few troops in his hands. However, after fighting for the two sides for a day, he found that his troops were tired and forced to stop, and most of the troops who were rushing to fight had not even fought a decent battle.
Most of the Germans were unable to even reach the actual control line of both sides. They were forced to stop their own steps and camp and rest in order to maintain a good combat effectiveness in the future. The Italian troops who turned against each other still controlled a large area where the Germans did not arrive.
On this night, the famous Italian city of Naples welcomed Marshal Garibaldi, and tens of thousands of people welcomed the return of the Italian expedition on torches. People shook the torches and sang songs to send the hero in their hearts to the municipal hall of Naples. Then, the entire southern Italy, including Sicily, announced that they obey Garibaldi's orders and escape from Mussolini's rule.
An officer loyal to Mussolini had just arrived in Bari at this time, where the port stocked up on a large amount of supplies and equipment. Most of the goods were Jewish merchants, supporting the things purchased by their own countries, such as instruments and equipment, and food goods. Some even had private cars, as well as a large number of Jewish civilians preparing to pour into Israel.
The entire port is in chaos. After all, the impact of the founding of Israel on the Jewish world was too great. Many people abandoned their prosperous life outside and were willing to go to their hometowns to live even poor days. In addition to the projects and supplies built by Germany, the entire Italy seemed to be filled with transport ships and cargo.
In order to intercept the goods, it was also an important reason why Mussolini was eager to move. The Mussolini's confidant officer rushed over at this time, and it was also for the sake of the large number of arms that had been hoarded in the port of Bari.
"The leader's order, the port must be closed here and wait for further orders." The officer found the personnel who managed the port and announced Mussolini's orders. He rushed here all the way without even drinking saliva. After saying the order with a dry mouth, he began to arrange the task of transferring port materials.
However, he did not see it. The eyes of the officers who were ordered to leave were filled with unfriendly expressions. Soon the order to block the port was known by the Israeli officials who were planning transportation and loading and unloading here. Even faster, these Israeli officials used banknotes to settle all the uncooperative Italian troops.
The port was indeed blocked, but the cargo was still transported away from the port by ships. The busy appearance was no different from before the blockade. Even the Italian destroyers responsible for the blockade mission did not cause any trouble.
The Mussolini's confidant officer who was sitting in the office waiting for good news was waiting for more than a dozen vicious guards. These Italian guards rushed into the office and then killed the poor boss with butts and leather boots. A few minutes later, Port Barri announced his support for all the actions of the Axis powers and sent an army of 500 people to Naples to fight for Marshal Garibaldi.
It was only 30 hours after Mussolini announced his withdrawal from the Axis Group, and Italy broke out from his control by two minutes. The seemingly impregnable Mussolini rule collapsed in an instant. He didn't even understand why Akado's call to Yuan could bring all the people of Germany back to his heart, but his self-proclaimed leader caused a rebellion.
The most trustworthy black shirt troops actually took off their black shirts and put on SS uniforms. These private armed forces, which originally had firm beliefs, have become loyal believers of the German Great German Party, who are no longer loyal to Mussolini, but to an integrated and powerful Europe.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? What about those aides? Why didn't you come?" Mussolini received news of half of the fall of Italy in just a few hours. He was at a loss in his office, waiting for the aides who were around him to give him a slightly decent idea.
But more than an hour passed, and none of the staff and generals appeared in front of him. He sent someone to find a few. The existing ones were empty and had already run out of the city of Rome. Although some were at home, they immediately refused to come when they heard that Mussolini had invited him.
Now as long as you are not a fool, you can clearly know that Mussolini is already out of the blue. No one wants to stand with the losers when he is standing in the team, right? So those aides who used to hope to get high positions through Mussolini are now like avoiding him.
