Imperial Overlord

After making it out of the naval conference room, Li Le found Adrian. . This officer who just inherited the position of Canaris and became the Intelligence Minister of the Supreme Command is the most loyal senior official to Yuan.

It turned out that he was just a loyal officer. He was selected to this position because of his loyalty to Yuan. For him, Yuan is faith, and it is everything to him.

"Victory! Yuan!" Adrian shouted in salute after walking into Li Le's office.

Li Le waved his hand. For those loyal subordinates, he didn't care about the red tape. He prefers that his subordinates show their loyalty by completing his tasks, rather than relying on this way of saluting and shouting slogans.

The transmigrated Mr. Yuan said to his confidant Adrian: "In order to cooperate with the actions of the naval fleet, we are going to use the chess piece Canaris!"

Hearing Yuan's words, Adrian raised his eyebrows unconsciously. This means that Yuan decided to use the Canaris position once and for all, to add to the British people's block.

"My Yuan, this nail has already been shaken in Turing's affairs." Adrian said, "Using the line of Canaris, will it create pressure on the Navy because of failure? "

Before, someone pretended to be Canaris and sent false information to the British, misleading the British high-level, making them think Turing was a "member of the shadow force".

However, Turing died too quickly and too strangely... This made the Germans a little uncertain about whether the British were really fooled.

The direct impact of the uncertainty is that the German side cannot determine whether this line has really been seen by the enemy.

"Don't be nervous, we are just using the worthless means in our hands to block the British high-level officials." Li Le sneered confidently and said.

From Li Le's point of view, what he is playing is all about creating a more relaxed external environment for his fleet to attack.

As for whether such a small trick can really work, Li Le doesn't care at all. What he has to do is to expand his advantages as much as possible and strive for the best conditions for victory for his troops.

Even if these methods fail, Li Le will have nothing to lose. He can even judge whether Turing and his code-breaking team have been eliminated through the success of these small means.

"I understand! After I go back, I will immediately implement the "Mr. Zhou Plan" you ordered us to formulate!" Adrian is absolutely obedient to Li Le. This is the most important point he makes Li Le feel at ease. .

This "Mr. Zhou Plan" is an action plan formulated by Li Le to alienate the other side's navy executives. Originally, the reference was the battle of Chibi in ancient China, the well-known passage of Jiang Gan's piracy.

As a result, due to the problem of vocabulary translation, when the plan was finally named, Zhou Lang was translated into the weird Mr. Zhou...

No matter what, Li Le planned to use the "Jiang Gan" created by himself - Kanaris, to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the UK.

……

On the border between Italy and Greece, in a bare open space, the Italian soldiers cautiously jumped out of their trenches and attacked the opponent's position with the sound of orders.

They were greeted by a heavy rain of bullets fired by the old heavy machine guns of the Greek defenders. Tracer rounds shuttled between clearings, knocking down hapless Italian soldiers.

The remaining Italian soldiers were forced to retreat back to where they came from, and an attack was easily repelled by the Greek defenders.

Inside the Italian headquarters behind the bunker, two regiments stood in front of an Italian general and were scolded in disgrace.

After several days of continuous fighting, their troops were very tired. Lack of heavy weapons and artillery shells, they seemed powerless when attacking the enemy's fortifications.

Compared with their ally Germany, the Italian forces were almost a World War I-era armed force. They were dominated by infantry and artillery, with only a small number of tanks.

Relying on the flesh and blood of infantry, and insufficient ammunition, to attack the strong defensive positions garrisoned by the enemy, the Italian army paid a heavy price.

However, their results were pitiful, and even because of the counterattack of the British Army, they were forced to return some of the land they had swallowed before...

"This is your attack? My artillery bombarded the enemy for ten minutes! As a result, you were repelled after only five minutes of attacking?" the general roared in exasperation.

He watched the attack just now with his own eyes. The Italian soldiers had no determination to attack at all. As soon as the enemy's heavy machine guns sounded, their attack was defeated.

"Sir, our troops are short of supplies, and there is really no way to continue the attack." A regiment commander replied in a depressed manner.

Another regimental commander nodded in agreement, "Sir, the soldiers haven't had a normal lunch for three days, their morale is very low, and they can't fight at all."

The Italian army's combat operations in the Balkans had already made Mussolini difficult, and his offensive operations were almost a failure, but he still had no intention of asking Germany to join the war.

Mussolini always wanted his troops to take control of the Balkans, and now it seems that his troops are incapable of carrying out his orders.

On the side, the German 12th Army was waiting for the moment. In Romania and Hungary, German troops had already begun to be stationed.

As long as there is a situation where the Italian troops cannot support it, or Germany receives a request from Italy, the German troops here will enter Yugoslavia, occupy there and go south to Greece.

It is not the strength of the enemy that is preventing the German army from attacking now, but Italy's insistence on controlling the Balkans.

Time is passing minute by minute. The dangers on the border between Germany and the Soviet Union, as well as the changes on the British side, are all changing with Italy's insistence.

So Mussolini's persistence came at a heavy price. He even handed over 5% of the shares in the Libyan oilfield, which had already begun to make money, to Germany, only to gain a few days of precious time.

Unfortunately, the ending that made him feel helpless was that his troops did not use the time of these few days to break the deadlock, not even a step forward.

In such a passive situation, even Mussolini could not stand it any longer. He kept calling his front-line commanders and asking them to attack.

Regrettably, his troops were not able to move forward. Except for the increase in casualties, the entire battle situation remained unchanged.

Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, the Italian general had no choice but to give up the investigation. He also knew that his troops were under-supplied and had insufficient ammunition to carry out such a large-scale combat operation.

Therefore, he could only report the situation to his superiors, saying that his troops had encountered the enemy's main force and could not break through the enemy's line of defense.

> What he didn't know was that, except his troops, almost all the Italian troops had encountered the main force of the enemy and could not move on...

Such a report was sent to Mussolini's office with a bit of a joke. The Italian leader was outraged when he saw the result.

"Cowards! My troops are a bunch of cowards! They don't even have a little bit of Roman spirit!" He roared loudly in the office, making everyone shudder.

Even through the door of the office, people outside could hear the shouts inside. This time Mr. Leader was really angry and disappointed with his army.

"Count Ciano is humbled by the Germans. We gave a lot of profit distribution to keep the Germans from interfering in the war in the Balkans!" He yelled at his generals and marshals while hammering his desk. .

Before anyone could speak, the Italian leader continued to swear: "As a result! You have wasted all the opportunities you can waste! In the end, you can't solve the problem at all!"

Several Italian generals and marshals kept their mouths shut. Who would be willing to speak up at this time? Everyone did not speak, which made Mussolini even more angry.

You know, he is fed up with the failure of the Italian troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because of repeated defeats, Italy has given up too many benefits.

Originally, North Africa, which should have been Italy, is now shared by Germany and Italy. The Libyan oil fields that were supposed to be monopolized by Italy have now become the majority share of the Germans.

The Suez Canal has now become the possession of the Germans. Maybe the Middle East will become the spoils of the Germans in the future!

Now, asking Mussolini to cede part of the Balkan region really makes him unwilling.

But...if you are not willing, what can you do? It is now November 6th, and if the Balkans are not settled, the German 6th Army will really join the war.

After all, neither the Yuan nor the top leaders of the German Wehrmacht were willing to watch as the more than 40,000 British troops in the Balkans left calmly after annihilating a large number of Italian living forces.

"Tomorrow is the deadline given to us by the German foreign ministry. If we still can't settle the Balkans ourselves, the Germans will intervene..." Mussolini looked at his men, suddenly stopped roaring, and said said.

He said with a lonely sigh: "What else can I do? My troops have never won from the beginning! As a leader, what can I do?"

I really don't blame Mussolini for being so rude. From the Battle of France to the Balkans... His troops really never won a game...
