Chapter 270
See all
Italy and Alba are not neighboring countries. They are separated by several countries on land!
To enter Alba from land, they must first pass through Yugoslavia, which was not peaceful at this time. They were pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly for several years in World War I. After the war, they realized that small countries with few people would be bullied, so they united together to form the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Italy has never been very friendly to this newly established kingdom. Since their establishment in 1920, they have been eyeing and planning to invade here. In this case, the people of Yugoslavia are very wary of Italy.
Even during Italy’s invasion of Alba this time, Yugoslavia also accepted a large number of refugees from Alba, and even allowed the armed guerrillas of Alba to repair in their own country, and then cross the border to attack the Italian army after the repair.
From these actions, it can be seen that Yugoslavia has no good feelings towards Italy, and even hates it extremely.
The relationship between the two countries is so bad. Mussolini wants to borrow the road from the other side and let his army cross the territory of Yugoslavia and enter Alba. Isn’t this a dream?
Sure enough, this request was immediately rejected by Yugoslavia!
Not only that, Yugoslavia also applied to the League of Nations, hoping to join the big family of the League of Nations in order to seek the protection of the League of Nations.
This application was naturally agreed by the British Empire and Gaul with ease and pleasure. Everyone can see that the League of Nations is actually in their hands. Yugoslavia joined the League of Nations and asked for help from the League of Nations. In fact, it joined the British Empire and Gaul and acted as their younger brother.
For such a well-behaved and obedient younger brother, the British Empire and Gaul naturally could not refuse.
After Yugoslavia successfully joined the League of Nations, they were no longer afraid of the threat from Italy. Anyway, the British Empire and the Gauls would try their best to rescue the small country of Alba. If Italy invaded Yugoslavia, the two countries would definitely not stand idly by!
In this case, Yugoslavia, without any worries, directly rejected the Italians’ request for transit!
Mussolini was so angry that he didn’t expect that a small country like Yugoslavia would dare to do this to him. They actually dared to reject his request.
“Pass on my order, mobilize one million troops, and attack Yugoslavia!”
Mussolini got so excited that he decided to go to war with Yugoslavia!
This decision scared his confidant and the army commander!
“”Führer, you absolutely cannot do that! We are already struggling with internal and external troubles. If we force a war with Yugoslavia, I’m afraid we will collapse before we defeat them!”
Seeing that Mussolini was gradually losing his composure, Bilucius could no longer help but stood up and persuaded him.
“Humph, even if it means risking our own collapse, I will send troops to attack that damned Yugoslavia. If I can’t vent my anger, I will not be willing to do so!”
“There is an old saying in the ancient East that if you have green mountains, you will never be short of firewood. Yugoslavia is right at our doorstep. If we want to expand outward, we will have to fight sooner or later!”
Billucius knew Mussolini’s temper. Since the other party hated Yugoslavia, he would say what the other party meant to say, so that he would feel more comfortable. In this way, Mussolini’s resistance would be reduced!
Sure enough, after hearing what Bilucius said, Mussolini really became interested.
“Since you also know that we will fight Yugoslavia sooner or later, why do you keep stopping me?”
Mussolini asked angrily.
Bilucius couldn’t help but roll his eyes in his mind, thinking if I didn’t stop you, you probably wouldn’t even know how you died?
“Because now is not the time yet. We are now isolated and helpless, with no allies to rely on, and relying on our own strength, we can’t conquer Yugoslavia under the pressure of the British Empire and Gaul!”
Mussolini subconsciously wanted to refute, but Vilucius did not give him the opportunity, and he continued:”Three days have passed since the deadline of the ultimatum issued by the British Empire. If we don’t respond, I’m afraid the British Empire will really take action against us!”
“Humph, the British Empire is far away in Western Europe, can it come to Southern Europe to attack us?”
Mussolini didn’t believe this statement. He felt that even if Italy was not as powerful as the British Empire and Gaul, it was still the sixth most powerful country in the world, not just a cat or dog that could be easily bullied! If the British Empire really dared to attack them, they also had the ability to hit the British Empire hard and hurt the opponent!
“I think……”
“Something terrible has happened, General. Telegrams have been sent from various parts of the south, saying that the British have sent a fleet to attack our ports in the south. Three cities have been bombed by the fleet!”
Before Vilucius finished speaking, Mussolini’s secretary rushed in with an urgent telegram.
The content of the telegram confirmed Vilucius’s previous speculation!
The British really attacked Italy!
Plop!
Just as Vilucius was shocked, he heard a sound beside him. He turned his head and saw that Mussolini, who had been extremely tough before and clamored to go to war with the surrounding countries, fell to the ground with a pale face.
“”Shit, what do the British want to do? Are they going to attack our homeland?”
Mussolini asked tremblingly, he was terrified!
The reason why he was so fearless before was because he was sure that the British would not attack Italy. Since the other party did not dare to attack his homeland, he would not be in any danger and could do whatever he wanted!
But now the situation has completely changed. The British actually sent a fleet to attack the Italian port. Does this mean that the British really intend to attack him, Mussolini? Not to mention, the British really have such a plan!
The capital of the British, the foggy city!
When the Prime Minister of the British received the telegram from the Mediterranean Fleet, a bright smile appeared on his face.
“Haha, the domestic situation in Italy is already unstable. Mussolini’s foreign war was originally a way to divert domestic conflicts. As a result, they have lost more than they gained. They have failed to divert conflicts and instead brought disaster upon themselves. If we add fuel to the fire, Mussolini will probably step down!”
The Minister of the Navy nodded and said in agreement,”Mussolini is a dangerous militarist. If he continues to serve as the head of Italy, he will definitely take the dangerous path of military expansion and preparation for war. Italy’s terrain determines that they will give priority to the development of the navy, which will threaten the interests of our British Empire in the Mediterranean, so we must stop them.”
“Our actions this time have dealt a heavy blow to the Italians’ self-confidence and caused them to suffer huge losses and humiliation, so their people will definitely be very dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction will be directed at Mussolini. As long as he can’t bear the pressure and steps down in disgrace, we can resolve this crisis!”
“Have the candidates for the new government been decided? This time, we must support a regime that is more friendly to us. We cannot let the Italians get too close to Hans. We must build a siege network against Hans in Europe and completely block Hans in and lock them down!”
“Please rest assured, everything has been arranged!”
The Foreign Minister stepped forward and said,”Now, we just need to let the fleet continue to move north, bomb a few more cities, and then wait and see what happens!”_
