In fact, Hans himself only produced three of these bulletproof cars. One was given to President Hindenburg, another was given to Chancellor Mainz, and the third one was the one in front of Mussolini, which was specially used to entertain distinguished foreign guests!
After Mussolini learned about this, his dissatisfaction was immediately thrown out of his mind!
Hans used the same bulletproof car as their president and prime minister to entertain him, which shows that his status in their hearts is still very high!
When he thought of this, Mussolini was a little proud in his heart and no longer complained!
Since Mussolini was so obedient, Goebbels also saved a lot of trouble.
The car quickly drove from the train station into Hans’ capital Berlin. Along the way, Mussolini and his party were very surprised!
There are a large number of factories outside Berlin. From the smoke rising from the chimneys of these factories, it can be seen that these factories are quite busy.
Hans’s industrial strength is the second in the world. It is indeed extraordinary when I see it today!
However, most of these factories are concentrated outside the city of Berlin. After entering the city, the factories disappeared and were replaced by various shops. These shops cover various categories such as catering, entertainment, hardware, groceries, etc. Mussolini even saw a group of people watching an open-air movie, which made him very curious!
Movies have just become popular in the world at this time. This new cultural and entertainment activity is widely praised by people from all countries, especially in the United States!
Although Italy also has its own movies, their film production technology is relatively backward and the output of movies is also very low. There are not many movie theaters in the entire city of Roma. There is no situation of open-air movie screenings like Hans!
From the smiles on the faces of the people of Berlin and the confidence they exude, Mussolini felt that this country is completely different from his motherland!
This kind of vitality is completely different from the gloomy Italy. It is completely unimaginable that this country has just experienced a disastrous defeat five years ago!!
“Mainz is quite capable! He was able to restore Hans’ strength so quickly. It seems that there is something worth learning from him!”
Mussolini thought secretly in his heart. He planned to learn from Mainz during this visit to see how this guy governs the country!
Bilucius, who was sitting next to Mussolini, was also very shocked. He was shocked by the factories he saw along the way!
Shocked by the bustling crowds on the streets and the cars everywhere on the streets!
Shocked by the wide roads and the crowded but not chaotic order in the city!
Thinking of what they saw and heard along the way from the Alps to the north, Bilucius re-recognized Hans and re-understood the strength of this country!
Hans is much stronger than they thought!
……
Soon, Mussolini was brought to Mainz’s office. There was no red tape, no complicated welcome ceremony or pretense. When he first met Mussolini, Mainz directly asked about the purpose of his visit.
“So, Mr. Mussolini, why are you visiting our country at this time? Or, what do we have in Hans that you want to exchange?”People in the world are all for profit. If there is no profit, Mussolini will come to them because he has nothing better to do.
Although Mussolini had already announced to the whole world on his way to visit, fearing that other countries did not know that he was going to visit Hans.
But Mainz judged that he did this just to put pressure on other countries, especially the British Empire and the Gauls, and this was not his real purpose. What he wanted must be the most direct support from Hans!
And if he wanted to get the support of Hans, he had to convince Mainz, otherwise he would probably return disappointed this time!
“I want your country’s friendship!”
Mussolini said with a smile. Unlike what he imagined, Mainz was younger than he thought. When he thought that this guy was only 25 years old, while he was already 40 years old, a bald, greasy middle-aged man, Mussolini’s heart was filled with jealousy.
“Do you think I will believe such words? Mr. Prime Minister, you are the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and I am also the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. We are both leaders responsible for our respective countries, so there is no need to say such meaningless big words and empty words in front of me. If you really want to get what you want, then you must show your sincerity, otherwise, I am afraid I don’t have time to waste with you!”
Mainz’s attitude is definitely not good. He has no good feelings for Mussolini. This guy has great ambitions but little talent, mediocre ability, but great ambitions.
This has not changed in history or in this time and space!
Any sane person would not want to launch a war of external expansion within less than two years after seizing power, before the internal situation has been completely stabilized!
Because such a war will most likely be lost!
However, Mussolini took this big risk!
This guy’s mind can’t think with the thinking of a normal person at all. He is not a normal person at all!
He is a madman!
“”Ahem, Mr. Mainz, if I am willing to return South Tyrol to your country, what kind of help and support can your country give us?”
Mussolini was embarrassed by Mainz’s direct words. He wanted to walk away, but he couldn’t bear to part with the red Beetle bulletproof car. He wanted to ask Mainz for the car, so Mussolini didn’t dare to get angry with Mainz at this time. He was afraid that Mainz would drive them away in anger!
After all, this time they asked Hans for help, not Hans for help from them, so they had to see Hans’s face!
“South Tyrol?”
Mainz was really a little surprised. Although he guessed that the Italians might use South Tyrol as an exchange for Hans’ support, he didn’t expect Mussolini to reveal this trump card so quickly?
Could it be that the Italians prepared more than one trump card this time?
Are they also prepared to sacrifice something else?
Mainz suddenly became interested. He was very curious about what kind of conditions the Italians could come up with.
“Yes, that’s right. Although this is our territory, considering that there are a large number of Germans here, we plan to give it to Hans for free in exchange for friendship with Hans!”
Mussolini’s words were very beautiful. South Tyrol is indeed a good card, but this good card must be used well to show its value. If Mussolini directly used South Tyrol as a bargaining chip, then even if Hans got South Tyrol, he would not think about the benefits of the Italians in his heart!
And like now, if South Tyrol is given to Hans as a gift, Hans will definitely respond to their generous gift, and then the benefits the Italians will get will not be less.
While they are gaining benefits, they can also gain the favor of the people of Hans. After all, compared with putting South Tyrol on the shelf for auction directly, giving this thing away sounds much better!
After hearing Mussolini’s words, Mainz finally began to look at this guy with admiration!
Sure enough, a person who can become the head of a country is definitely not a fool. Mussolini played this card quite well.
“I would like to ask, is what the Prime Minister said just now true?”
Mainz asked Mussolini with a smile on his face.
No matter what Mussolini was thinking, Mainz decided to eat South Tyrol first!
South Tyrol is not a big place, and the population is not large, but the location is very critical. If it is taken, there will be a gap in the Alps, a passage for Hans to break through the mountains!
Eat South Tyrol first, and then how to respond to the Italians will be up to Hans himself, and they can decide how much to give!
Mussolini played this card well, but he was unlucky to meet Mainz, and Mainz didn’t buy it!_Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading-
