Finally returned to Italy!

Thinking about the yellow sand in the Middle East and the desolation of his stationed area, Italo Garibaldi yearns for warm Italy. If he doesn't come back, he will forget the taste of authentic spaghetti.

Now, standing outside Rome, he is a little worried.

Behind him, followed by an army, several subordinate troops of the Italian tenth army who had just retreated from the Middle East.

Originally, they followed Rommel to attack the city and the land. Later, when Germany stopped attacking, they followed and stationed. But now, a command from Mussolini called them back in a hurry!

The tenth Italian army is the main force of Italy in Egypt. When it was the largest, it governed more than a dozen infantry divisions.

Now, along with Garibaldi, are the maletti armored group, the first Libyan division and the third black shirt division, with a total force of 40000. Among them, the armored group is the most effective force. It was reorganized last year. All of them are the most advanced tanks in Italy. In the Middle East, Once charged with German tank clusters.

But now, they have been transferred back to Italy. There is no doubt that there is a big problem in Italy.

"General, shall we go in with you?" Said general Pietro maletti, commander of the armored group under Garibaldi.

"No, you all stay in the army. I can go in alone." Garibaldi said, "if there is a situation, follow my orders."

Garibaldi was a little uneasy. He left his troops outside and entered Rome with only a few guards.

There was a lively scene in the city, coming back from the desolate Middle East. It was like a new world. Garibo was not in the mood to enjoy all this. He looked at his car and drove all the way to the outside of the leader's residence.

"General Garibaldi, the party leader is waiting for you inside." An officer of the residence said to Garibaldi. He took him along the corridor of the residence and soon came outside Mussolini's office.

Before he went in, Garibaldi heard Mussolini's loud voice.

"The defeat of Greece was mainly due to the incompetence of military command! Someone must be responsible for this! Badoglio, as the chief of general staff of the army, you cannot escape the responsibility of defeat. " Mussolini was angry.

After Badoglio returned from Germany, he reported to Mussolini. Germany did not provide any support. When he heard the news, Mussolini was angry and put all the responsibility on Badoglio.

"Originally, I asked you to go to Germany. I also planned that you could move the army from Germany to fight with us, so that you could make up for your mistakes. Who knows, you can't even complete such a task. What's the use of staying in the army? I suggest you withdraw from the army at once! "

Sure enough, Mussolini put all the responsibility for the defeat on Badoglio. Badoglio's face was pale. He looked at Mussolini and wanted to argue, but he didn't say it in the end.

Sure enough, as head of state Chirac said, Mussolini will only shirk his responsibility. What has he done in Italy these years!

"Well, I can leave the army." With that, Badoglio turned around. When he went out, he looked back with a sharp cold light in his eyes.

For the sake of the kingdom of Italy, such a person can never rule Italy again. He has no ability to lead Italy at all!

The door opened and Badoglio left. At this time, the shadow of Garibaldi appeared at the door.

"Garibaldi, when did you come back to Rome?" Mussolini put on a new face and said to Garibaldi.

Garibaldi hurried in, saluted Mussolini, and then said, "I just arrived today. I had to be summoned by the party leader. I arrived immediately without delay."

"Garibaldi, in the Middle East, you have won honor for our Italian army. After discussion, I have decided to promote your rank as marshal and appoint you as the chief of general staff of the army." Mussolini said, "you should do well and don't live up to my expectations of you."

As soon as he kicked Badoglio away, Mussolini appointed a new chief of general staff of the army, which was quite fast.

Since Rommel went to North Africa, the Italian army has changed its old appearance. Under the training of German instructors, they have been built into an iron army and continue to build combat achievements together with the German army.

As the commander of the tenth army, Garibaldi is also considered to be the best general. It is reasonable to be promoted now.

Just thinking about Badoglio, who had just been driven away, Garibaldi felt speechless for a while.

He knew that if there were no German army and Rommel, he would have entered the POW camp of the British army.

When the Italian army fought against Greece, it did not mobilize the legions of North Africa. After all, Mussolini still wanted to carve up some land with Germany. These troops must be stationed in the Middle East and North Africa.

But now, Mussolini can't care so much about the failure of the Greek War. He must clean up Greece first. Therefore, mobilizing the elite African Legion is his necessary choice.

"Why, don't you want to?" Garibaldi's thinking delayed the event for a while, and Mussolini immediately stiffened his face.

"Of course not. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers." Garibaldi said, "I am honored to be the chief of general staff of the Royal Army. It's just that the news came so suddenly that I haven't prepared myself yet. "

"We don't have much time." Mussolini said to Garibaldi, "the army will repair in Rome for a week, and then go to Albania. We must conquer Greece. Now, let's discuss the tactics specifically. In order to achieve surprise, we will start the attack immediately after landing in Rome. How about it?"

When he heard Garibaldi's surprise, he went up and attacked? You're kidding!

Even the German army has to make preparations for months during this national war. Moreover, its main force is still waiting for the transportation of follow-up ships in North Africa. It will take at least two months for the African Legion to fight Greece!

"The Greeks also clamored to land in Italy across the sea and let him taste the power of our real elite troops!" Mussolini was excited again.
