Chapter 194 The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind

In later World War II, when Germany was at its peak, Mussolini and Hitler fought fiercely. At this time, the king watched from the side and said nothing. When the Allies counterattacked, the king came out to express his opinion when the situation in Germany was over.

After gaining support from the monopoly bourgeoisie, senior generals of the three armies and members of the FXS committee against Mussolini, he planned to launch a coup to end Mussolini's dictatorship. While he sent Princess Yosai, Duke of Da Aosta and Marshal Bardoglio to secretly contact Britain and the United States to obtain their support, he also entrusted the court minister Daquarone to contact him on behalf of him with the two "Inverted Me" groups that had already formed in the country at that time.

One of them is led by pro-British and American Grandi and Ziano, composed of some members of the FXS Council and other leaders of the fascist party. The other is composed of royalists and senior generals of the three armies who are closely related to the royal family, including former Home Secretary Federzoni, former Defense Minister Marshal Diaz and General Ambrosio, the Chief of Staff. They proposed to "return the power of the state to the king."

The two groups face each other, but both take the king as their idol and accept their control. With the coordination of Daquarone, the two sides reached a consensus on ousting Mussolini from power.

At this time, Mussolini was still in the dark and was struggling for the situation in Italy. As a result, in the palace coup, the king easily drove Mussolini out of power, and Italy also became an ally in the Axis power.

Mussolini did all the bad things, and the king had nothing to do with him. In this way, after World War II, Italy became a victorious country. The Italian king's chess was really wonderful to play.

When betting on both sides, Italy will not suffer any loss no matter which side wins.

Now, Germany is at its peak, and Italy will certainly not touch this brow. If Germany felt that Mussolini was unhappy and wanted to replace him, the king would definitely watch the wall and watch the fun next to him, as if he was not his own country.

If the king delegates power, there is no need to worry about being liquidated later. It can be said that the king is watching Germany manipulate Italy's political situation.

What else can he do? If he dares to object, it will be easy for Germany to subvert the Italian royal family. Just look at the UK.

The main reason is that Mussolini is ignorant and refuses to be a German younger brother, so Cialis had to replace him and find someone more obedient to control Italy.

Who is suitable? Of course it is not Bardoglio. Bardoglio doesn’t understand the truth that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind!

Mussolini is the leader of Italy. When he disappeared, the Italian party naturally had to obey Germany's orders. Otherwise, what else could they do? The more chaotic Rome is, the better it will be for Germany.

Now, it is enough for Germany to watch coldly.

Cialek regained his eyes on the map. Now, the war against the Soviet Union is about to begin, and this battle will be a shocking moment.

Until now, they are basically developing along the trajectory of history. What Cirick then needs to do is to let reality deviate from its previous track. The war to invade the Soviet Union cannot become a turning point in Germany, but a new cornerstone.

Mussolini was assassinated, and half an hour later, Ziano received this news that surprised him.

In later generations, although Ziano was Mussolini's son-in-law, he betrayed Mussolini without hesitation at the last moment and joined hands with others to imprison Mussolini. The reason was that it was human instinct to survive.

Such a person has no loyalty, only interests, including his marriage to Mussolini's daughter as his wife, and for his own benefit.

So, when he heard that Mussolini was gone, he was first surprised. After being surprised, Ziano immediately decided to go to Grandi.

Grandi is the president of the Italian Party’s League, and he has the right to convene a meeting of the Party’s general committee immediately. Now, it is crucial that who will fill the vacancy after Mussolini’s departure.

"We must find out the real murderer behind the scenes!" Ziano looked at Grandi and said with grief and anger: "The party leader was assassinated, and the conspirator behind him must want to come to power and seize the interests of our party!"

"Yes, we must find out the real murderer behind the scenes." Grandi was also quite angry: "But, more importantly, we must immediately elect a new leader to gain the recognition of the king and continue to lead Italy."

"Grandy, you are a veteran of our party, and I think you are suitable." Ziano said.

When Grandi heard Ziano's words, he was shocked. Who doesn't want to sit in that position? But how could Ziano recommend himself?

"Our party can safely survive this crisis as long as you can go up." Ziano continued.

Of course Ziano wanted to get into that position, but he was too young and did not have enough qualifications, and the king would not agree to a young man like him becoming the real ruler of Italy.

Grandi wanted to refuse and said something, and saw a closest MP rushing in: "No, no, no, I heard that the king is considering appointing Bador Grio as prime minister!"

Bardoglio? The marshal who had been resigned? Hearing the news, the two of them immediately reacted: "He must be the murderer behind the scenes. If he is allowed to come to power, our entire political party will be ruined, and we must stop him!"

"Yes, mobilize our Blackshirts immediately and enter Rome! Let our party members take to the streets, mobilize the masses, and organize a march!"

When Mussolini seized power, he relied on his Blackshirt Army to demonstrate everywhere in the city of Rome. In the end, the king had no choice but to agree to let Mussolini be the prime minister.

And now, seeing that their party was in danger, the two of them suddenly came up with this solution.

Bardoglio is a member of the army and is non-partisan. If the king lets him be the prime minister, it is necessary to establish a non-partisan government. This is obviously to exclude oneself. How can this be done!

The Blackshirt Army has now developed into a large-scale organization. Just like the SS established by Germany outside the National Welfare Army, the Blackshirt Army also belongs to Mussolini's private army.

Over the years, the Blackshirt Army and the Italian Army have fought on various battlefields together, not in Italy. However, a few days ago, the 10th Army, which had just returned from the Middle East, had the well-equipped Blackshirt Army 3rd Division.

Give them an order immediately!

The two were anxiously waiting for the reply. More than an hour later, the news from the two were discouraged. Without the order signed by the Chief of Staff, they refused to implement it!

Who is the Chief of Staff? Isn’t it the original commander of the 10th Army, Garibaldi?

Garibaldi was just promoted to Chief of Staff by Mussolini and did not return to the army since then? Where did he go? It was so anxious!

"Now we can only use the leader's guards." Ziano said: "We must kill Badolio so that the king can change his mind."
