Romanian Eagle
Chapter six hundred and thirty second Italy's change
The news that Romania built the world's first jet plane didn't get much attention. This is not the world's first successful test flight, unless Romania flew out of the atmosphere, which can cause a sensation in the world.
But people in other countries who also study jet engines are very concerned about this, but their attention does not affect their governments. The reason is very simple. At present, the jet is not practical. At most, don't let the Romanian lead too much next time.
And when this report was placed on Edel's desk, the king who also served as Bulgaria dragged his tired body and looked at it seriously for a while, and gave an instruction that he would continue his efforts and it would be over.
There is no way that jets will not be available until the end of World War II, and this report is nothing more than a sign that Romania has made progress in developing jets.
Moreover, Eder is too busy these days. He not only has to meet people from all walks of life in Bulgaria, but also to inspect the actual situation in various places in Bulgaria. I've been busy all day long, and my feet don't touch the ground at all. Even in a major event like Hindenburg's death, Edel just sent people to participate.
In fact, after Hitler became chancellor, Eder knew that no one could stop Germany from rearming. And Hindenburg's death has left him without restrictions, and he has become more and more powerful.
Moreover, his actual ally, Italy, is becoming more and more uneasy. The ambassador to Italy reported to himself that more and more news of Ethiopia was reported in Italy. This made Edel feel the restless heart of the leader, and he is likely to turn his attention to this East African country.
This may be a chain reaction of Eder becoming king of Bulgaria. Although the Italian government, which currently has access to Libya's oil resources, has had a much better life than in history, the impact of the economic crisis on its citizens has not subsided. The main reason is that the Italian oil interests are divided up by the top, and the interests left to the bottom are not satisfactory. And Italy's economic recovery is also far from foreseeable because of the lack of sufficient markets.
So in the face of domestic dissatisfaction one after another, the regime headed by Mussolini thought of ways to divert national attention. In fact, within the Italian government, there is a lot of controversy over which target to choose. Some argue that the Kingdom of Albania in the Balkans should be the priority. Because this small country is across the sea from Italy, annexing this country will help Italy expand its influence in the Balkans.
However, opponents believe that it is precisely because Albania is in the Balkans. If it is annexed, it is likely to lead to strong opposition from Britain, France, Yugoslavia and Greece. And in the case of Romania taking the lead in winning Bulgaria, if Italy joins again, Yugoslavia and Greece, who have been wary of abnormality, will overreact.
Those who mainly hold these views are mainly from the stable faction in the Italian government. They believe that once the mountainous country of Albania encounters resistance during the entry process, it will gain the general sympathy of European countries, which is very unfavorable to Italy.
Moreover, Italy does not have enough legal basis to support it to convince other countries. So something like Eder, being elected king by the Bulgarian people, cannot happen to the Albanians.
It is different for Ethiopia, because it is located in eastern Africa, and European countries will not contribute too much to it. And it is not the sphere of influence of Britain and France,
Nor will it touch the nerves of the two countries.
Yes, Europe generally has little sense of the African continent at the moment. For dark skin, there is no idea of world harmony.
The Italian government, after careful consideration, finally chose Ethiopia as the target to divert people's attention.
Its location in Africa is one aspect, and it is also related to the fact that it can link the current Italian colony in East Africa, Eritrea and Italian Somalia.
At present, Italy's colonies in East Africa are mainly Eritrea and Somalia, but among them, Britain and France are divided into two parts that are not connected from the north. General E Debono, who is currently the governor of East Africa, is also promoting Italy to invade Ethiopia. one of the promoters.
Under his leadership, the Italian army has repeatedly provoked and created friction in the border areas of the two sides, and took the opportunity to spread the news that Ethiopia is dissatisfied with Italy.
Therefore, under the promotion of the Italian upper class, its domestic newspapers and radio stations have made their platforms one after another, as if Ethiopia is eyeing the Italian East African territory. This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Italian people and pushed the Kingdom of Italy to step up its military preparations.
However, the Italian government knew that to win Ethiopia, it would require diplomatic relations with Britain and France, so Mussolini signed the Italian-French Treaty with French Foreign Minister Pierre Laval. The treaty stipulated that France would grant Italy freedom of movement in Ethiopia.
The reason for France to do this is because France wants to focus Italy on Africa. In Germany, with Hitler coming to power and Romania doing things in the Balkans, the French believe that Italy will also be moved, so instead of waiting for Italy to cause unrest in Europe, it is better to vent its energy to the mountainous country of East Africa. Moreover, Ethiopia is full of mountains and mountains, which helps to increase Italy's consumption.
And the Italian government was ecstatic when it got the assurances from France, believing that it had cleared a major hurdle.
The UK, however, opposed the move, fearing that the Italian move could destabilize its rule in East Africa, Egypt and Sudan. To this end, the Italian government continues to negotiate with it.
In the subsequent negotiations, the United Kingdom considered that the risk of war with Italy was too great. And it can also win it over, and think that sacrificing Ethiopia can make Mussolini not allied with Germany, and finally give Italy a hint that it will not intervene in aggression.
The anti-Ethiopian rhetoric in Italy reached a climax after Britain and France gave it the green light. For this reason there was a telegram from the ambassador to Italy.
And for Italy's decision to invade Ethiopia, Edel can't say that he is not optimistic. However, the Italian invasion in history can be described as quite a failure. It is amazing that the 300,000 Italian modern army fought the 450,000-500,000 backward tribal army in Ethiopia, and it required heavy casualties to win. Moreover, the Ethiopian army's tactics are backward, and they only know how to play positional warfare.
Although it is not the kind of troops with javelins in the previous life, but even the rifles have the kind of troops with front-loading guns. The Italian army, which has aircraft, tanks, poison gas and other equipment, also made a lot of jokes about it.
But Edel did not intend to intervene. First, Italy will not want to see others intervene, and second, let the leader see its heroic fighting Italian army, lest the leader miscalculate his own strength.
