Rome, the capital of Italy.

Sitting in his seat, Mussolini looked at the man in front of him.

American ambassador Phillips, French ambassador Ponce.

"Dear party leader, please allow me, on behalf of our president, to extend sincere greetings to you." Phillips said to Mussolini.

Although Roosevelt could not provide direct support to Britain, Roosevelt was still doing his best to save the situation in Europe. Now Phillips is here to be a mediator.

Just a few days ago, when Roosevelt wrote an open letter to Chirac, Chirac publicly humiliated him, and Mussolini, who was also accused of being a dictator, publicly expressed his anger at Roosevelt.

Without Chirac's ridicule, Mussolini wanted to be humorous, so Roosevelt became a diffuse or peristaltic paralytic in his mouth.

Roosevelt showed up just a few days after the scolding.

"Mr. Roosevelt, what's your request?" Said Mussolini.

Although he knew it in his heart, it was also a pleasant thing to think that the neuropathy came to beg for himself.

"Our president, I hope you can remain neutral and not get involved in the war against France. In this way, you can make appropriate compensation." Phillips said.

Now in the north, Germany is about to eliminate the main force of France. In this case, what will Italy choose to join the axis powers?

Think about what Italy has done in recent years, invading Ethiopia, participating in the Spanish Civil War and invading Algeria. Italy under Mussolini is definitely belligerent.

In fact, in private, Mussolini has long promised Germany to attack France together. However, Italy is very smart. It is very dangerous to directly provoke the first army power in Europe. Therefore, although he promised, he has never started.

Until now, if Mussolini doesn't do it, it doesn't accord with his character.

With the main force of France surrounded in the north, Germany has established a decisive advantage. In this case, Italy will certainly take advantage of the fire!

The north can't cope. If Italy invades the south again, France will be even worse.

Therefore, the Italian adventure must be stopped!

By what? Of course, it is to win over with interests.

Now, Phillips has mentioned compensation. Then, Ponce, the French ambassador, is worried. He knows the situation of France and is worried.

"Dear party leader, as long as Italy and France maintain peace, we France can make a deal with Tunisia and Algeria, the North African territories."

France has traditional colonies in North Africa, while Italy is salivating for these colonies of France. Now, France is willing to make a deal, which is a big concession.

It can be said that France is desperate. As long as Italy does not participate in the war, France can give these colonies to Italy!

Hearing this, Mussolini nodded: "I already know your opinion, and we will consider it carefully."

After seeing off the two diplomats, Mussolini's eyes twinkled.

French, I can't hold on!

"Father in law, the German ambassador has transmitted to us a special letter from head of state chirek." Just then, ziano, his son-in-law, said to him.

The United States and France are lobbying Mussolini, but now Germany is impatient.

It was agreed at the beginning that as an axis power, it wanted to advance and retreat together. As a result, when Germany beat France, the Italians actually retreated.

Opening the special letter, Mussolini really saw the dissatisfaction of the German side.

Chirac told Mussolini that now, the German army is about to win a decisive victory over France. If Italy doesn't do it, Italy won't want German support for Italy in the Balkans.

I hope Mussolini will make the decisions he deems necessary for the future of his country.

One side is the advantage of France and the other is the dissatisfaction of Germany. How should Italy choose?

After putting down the special letter, Mussolini asked ziano, "what do you think we should do now?"

As a popular man around Mussolini, ziano has long studied Mussolini's psychology. At this time, Mussolini seems to be rubbing his hands, which is absolutely determined.

In that case, of course, you have to do what you like.

"It's time for us to act. If we don't act again, the Italians will lose face. We can't miss the opportunity." Ziano said: "now, France is about to be destroyed by Germany. We attack from the south of France and can occupy a large area of French territory, which is the most empty place."

"However, we must make it clear to Germany what benefits we will get if we go to war." Ziano continued.

Italy's participation in the war is inevitable, but now, Germany's momentum is very strong, which has long overshadowed Italy. Therefore, Italy must make it clear to Germany that it is beneficial.

If France promises to Italy, Germany should agree. Otherwise, Italy can benefit by sitting directly!

"Inform Alfieri, personally send the notice of participation to Chirac, and tell them that we, Italy, declare war on France immediately!" Said Mussolini.

Ziano's words have strengthened Mussolini's confidence. Now, Italy must show its existence, otherwise, on the European continent, there is only the prestige of Germany!

As for those additional conditions, Germany will certainly agree. Germany needs Italy to join the war!

"How's it going? Did the party leader agree? " Seeing ziano coming out of the room, French ambassador Ponce, who was still waiting outside, asked ziano.

"Mr. Ponce, now please tell your government that we, Italy, will officially declare war on your country." Ziano said.

Declare war! This sentence makes Ponce feel that his brain has become a blank in an instant. The Italians still haven't given up the opportunity to take advantage of the fire!

Phillips did not speak. In fact, he had this hunch for a long time. Mussolini has been swinging these days, but now his balance has fallen to Germany!

With Italy declaring war on France, the situation in Europe will become more complex and completely evolve into a world war!

After a few hours of turbulence, Churchill's special plane landed in Paris. When he just got off the plane, he heard the shocking news.

Italy, declared war on France!

"God is testing us." Churchill said, "our indulgence in virtue and Italy has led to today's bad results. However, I believe that the final victory must belong to us! Justice will prevail! "
