Chapter 53 Arrival

On November 13, the weather in Rome was particularly clear, with no clouds in the blue sky, and the sun shining unimpeded on this ancient city, bringing a hint of warmth to the citizens and dispelling the haze that enveloped their hearts.

People were talking about the apostle of the German head of state, God, who arrived in Rome yesterday afternoon. Someone swore that he saw with his own eyes a team of high-end cars with German flags driving into the Quirinar Palace. The guy was immediately reported and dragged away by the military police who arrived later. During this sensitive period, you can't talk casually.

Reinhardt von Steed, at this time, was not just the new Prime Minister Badorio, but in the minds of most Italians, this apostle of God was like an image of a great savior.

It is said in private that God sent this person to the mortal world not only to save Germany, but also to save Italy.

Where the source of this statement cannot be determined. The problem is that the Vatican side has not responded to this seemingly blasphemous remark. This made some too-thinking Italians guess whether the Pope's crown had obtained some divine enlightenment. After all, he is the only one in the world who is currently keeping a secret connection with the above.

Xu Jun arrived in Rome at around 4:30 pm on the 12th. He and his main escort took two special FW200 models. The remaining luggage and entourage were transported by four Ju52s. There were also two Air Force fighter squadrons escorting the fleet.

Xu Jun once came to Rome when he was studying abroad, but compared with later generations, Rome in the 1940s still preserved its original style. Although it has been through centuries of operation and repairs for several dynasties, with the decline of the Italian Kingdom, this legendary city has long been no longer glorious. Whether it is the tall apartments on both sides of the street or the villa gardens of wealthy and wealthy merchants, it is now in a state of desolation.

The head of the empire was tasked with. Before completing the plan, he had no intention of appreciating the scenery. After receiving the convoy prepared in advance, he quietly passed through the city of Rome under the dual escort of the head of state and his group of people, under the dual escort of the head of state guard flag team and the Italian army military police, he quietly passed through the city of Rome and drove into the Palace of Quirinal.

The Italian king and royal family were still stranded in the Vatican at this time. It seemed that Emmanuele III would never dare to leave the Pope City before receiving Xu Jun's face-to-face promise.

Badol Grio also had little interest in the return of the king, and he was discussing with the politicians in the parliament on the question of demanding the abdication of King Emanuele III.

After so many things happened, Emmanuele III was obviously no longer suitable to be a king. The Prime Minister publicly claimed that Italy had fallen to such a point, and it was all the king's responsibility. If he had not supported the conspirators' attempt to launch a coup, perhaps Mussolini would still be his leader and lead the Italian Kingdom to recreate the glory of the Roman Empire.

Previous royal followers, such as those high nobles and politicians, were desperately trying to separate their relationship with the royal family. Most of the loyalists who still support the Savoy family have now become corpses, carrying the identity of members of the cabal, and dragged them to the execution ground outside Rome to be shot.

Mussolini's stabbing led to a new round of conspiracy theories emerging in Italy, pointing to the royal family hiding in the Vatican and the aristocratic groups who have always wanted to restore political privileges.

Because Bardoglio was almost killed with Mussolini at the assassination site, he cleared away all the suspicions about him. As for the little villain who fired a fatal shot, the police have already produced an investigation report, and a large amount of evidence proved that he was a natural bad person, used by a conspiracy subversion group, to assassinate the best Italian prime minister, the great Benito Mussolini.

According to the police investigation report, the gang planning this conspiracy behind the scenes is well organized and numerous, and the exact list is not yet cleared, but the police will never give up halfway. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, the case will be thoroughly investigated.

The Germans could see through this method of purgeing the opposition under the name of the name. These were all the remaining things that the Nazis played back then. Unexpectedly, Bardoglio was so skillful. As expected, none of the guys who could climb to this height were fuel-efficient.

Xu Jun was not interested in this kind of blood. Anyway, the Eye of Odin monitored Italy comprehensively. Besides, this country that produces various models of ambitious people, it is not a bad thing to do some cleaning occasionally.

Since the king was not at home, Xu Jun moved into the Quirinal Palace without any psychological burden. Bardoglio even hinted to Weilles privately that if the head of state liked the palace, he would have a way to take it from the royal family and turn it into a palace belonging to the head of state of the German head of state.

Xu Jun did not respond immediately to this suggestion. He did want to build a vacation villa in Italy. In his opinion, Mussolini's Toronia villa is very good. In comparison, this palace is a bit too big.

The head of the empire did not meet with any Italian nobles or officials that night, but only had dinner with Badorio. Then the two of them had a conversation in the king's study, because only Xu Jun's confidant was present, and no one knew the specific content. Only in the records of the palace guards, the Supreme Imperial Marshal left after midnight.

The next night was fine, and the head of state slept with his pillow in the king's luxurious bedroom. When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock the next morning.

ps: The second update, my eyes feel a little uncomfortable, so I will write it here first. Sorry, there are not many words, so the rest are placed in tomorrow's chapter.
