Chapter 359 Rommel's troops move towards Rome, Italy
"Marty Marshal Rommel! Something big happened in Italy. Mussolini was imprisoned by King Emanuele III. He also sent personnel to take over Mussolini's regime and reorganize a new government!"
"And I also heard the news that King Emanuele III planned to let the new Italian government conduct peace negotiations with the British and American allies! That is to say, they planned to withdraw from the war and also planned to assist the British and American forces to deal with us!"
"What should we do if we assist? Should we lead the troops to Rome, Italy immediately?"
When he received the shocking news that Mussolini was imprisoned by King Emanuele III, intelligence officer Shidowbwasse hurriedly reported to Rommel.
"Did the head of state know about this?"
After hearing this, Rommel was not as shocked and shocked as those Italians or outsiders, but instead asked calmly.
It seemed as if Rommel had known that Mussolini would be imprisoned by King Emanuele III, without any emotional fluctuations, and was very calm and dull.
In fact, although Rommel had a premonition about this matter, the person who finally made him believe in this matter in advance was Chen Yanlong.
Rommel was still half-doubted about Chen Yanlong's reminder at the beginning, but in his heart, he was deeply shocked, shocked, and admired Chen Yanlong's premonition.
"The Head of State is really amazing! Even his intelligence system investigated such a thing in advance, and he dispatched me and a large number of troops to come over early in the morning to guard against the Italian rebellion!"
So when intelligence officer Shidowbwasse reported on the information that Mussolini was imprisoned, his first thought in his heart was that.
"First of the People's Republic of China, I have not yet informed me, because he assisted Marshal Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet, and the communication was a bit slow! And the Italy he assisted has begun to have chaos, and it is the kind that is harmful to our Germany, because many Italians are hostile to our German army, and even harming us Germans who live in Italy! So I will listen to your opinion first, Marshal!"
Intelligence officer Shi Daubwasse confessed.
"Well! I understand. The head of state knew about this early in the morning, but it was just not sure about the time of the Italian rebellion. Since Italy has imprisoned Mussolini now, our troops will also enter Rome immediately. When encountering the rebellious Italian troops, they will kill them all! In addition, Marshal Kesselin is notified to dispatch air forces to support us!"
"It's time for these Italians who were scared by the large-scale bombing of the British and American Airlines team to see the strength of our German Airlines fleet's latest bomber group and fighter group. Our horror will never be lost to those British and American troops. If you want to betray us, then pay a heavy price first!"
"And the biggest reason for Africa's defeat is not the incompetence of these Italians. I can't stand them anymore. Today I finally found an opportunity to teach these pig-like teammates a lesson, so that they know that we Germans are not easy to bully!"
Upon hearing this, Rommel also said a lot of words in one breath.
"Yes! Marshal! I support you! Actually, I also want to tell these Italians that our strength will definitely not be worse than those British and American troops. If they betray us, it will cost a great price!"
Intelligence officer Shi Daobwasse also smiled brightly and quickly agreed.
Because he can't stand the laziness and dragging behavior of the Italian army in normal times.
So now that Rommel is going to lead his troops to teach the Italians who are rebelling, he certainly raised his hand to agree with it with joy.
"Then why don't you go quickly! Also, I will immediately convey the news of Mussolini's imprisonment and the Italian rebellion to the head of state!"
"Although this time we led troops to the Italian border was the order of the head of state, we still need to get the nod of the head of state to agree so that we can lead troops to Rome in vain and get the air support from Kessel immediately!"
Rommel smiled slightly and responded happily.
"Yes! Marshal Rommel! I'll go right away! I will definitely handle your orders properly and will never let you down!"
Intelligence officer Shi Daobwasse smiled and said with a standard military salute.
"Looking at your proud look, I think I'd better report to the head of state myself! Otherwise, if you missed the tongue and said what both sides should say, then if the head of state did not give me the power to lead troops to Italy, then I would not have the chance to teach the Italians who made me lose the battle in Africa!"
"I will never forget the defeat of the Battle of Africa, a shame that I will never forget until death, especially Montgomery, a bastard! After we enter Italy, I must find a way to find him to avenge his revenge, and to avenge my loyal subordinates and all the imperial soldiers who died in the Battle of Africa! Wash out the stain of this defeat!"
Looking at the smug expression of intelligence officer Shidowbwassen, Rommel suddenly changed his words.
And he became more and more excited as he spoke, and even with murderous aura on his face, which made people shudder.
Faced with Rommel's sudden change of style and expression, the intelligence officer Shidowbwasse also shut his mouth very tactfully; and once again saluted Rommel a very standard military salute and left immediately.
Soon, Rommel mobilized the seven divisions he could drive and began to move towards Rome, Italy.
Originally, Rommel asked Chen Yanlong to dispatch 16 divisions for him to use in Italy, but was rejected by Chen Yanlong, who lacked combat experience.
So Rommel told Chen Yanlong that at least 8 armored divisions and 4 infantry divisions were dispatched to the Italian border, or Rome.
However, after a fierce quarrel between Chen Yanlong and him, Chen Yanlong can now only dispatch 7 divisions to Rommel for combat use.
Moreover, these troops were also drawn from the Eastern Front battlefield and the new recruits from the new B Army Group that was being formed in Berlin.
Because most of the elite troops were dispatched to Sicily by Chen Yanlong, they were preparing to deal a severe blow to the British and American troops there or an annihilation battle.
Moreover, there were millions of German troops on the eastern front being restrained against the ready-to-go Soviet army, so Chen Yanlong was also troubled by the troops who lacked combat experience for a while.
Although he is also dispatching the German troops overseas, it takes time. Even if they are pulled back, they still need to conduct some training to allow these overseas troops to work together with other local troops, and to solve the increasingly huge logistical pressure and the shortage of logistics personnel.
In short, Chen Yanlong needs to deal with all kinds of problems in the brigade.
But at this moment, he was also on Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet, nervously paying attention to the battle situation between Sicily and the Eastern Front.
"Report! Head of State! Mussolini was arrested and imprisoned by King Emanuele III this morning! And now Italy is still preparing to establish a new government, contact the British and American troops, and prepare to rebel against us!" "So Marshal Rommel is now leading his troops to Rome, Italy to prepare to enter there, so he requested instructions, and he himself called and asked the head of state to answer!"
Just as Chen Yanlong and Denitz were discussing the Sicily Battle, a naval staff member hurriedly came to him to report.
