Although Banya is quite powerful and is the king of the Iberian Peninsula, their strength is still not enough in front of the Third Reich. So after hearing Mainz’s words, the Banya representative trembled all over and hurriedly stood up to explain.
“Mr. Führer, you misunderstood. We are not against the Third Reich, nor are we against European integration.……”
“Then vote in favor and join the European Union!”
Mainz didn’t want to listen to the other party’s explanations that had not yet been said. He didn’t want to waste time, because if these countries wanted to explain, they would definitely make excuses from various aspects such as political culture, living habits, etc. It would be very difficult to convince the other party because the interests of both parties are not completely consistent!
So he didn’t want to listen to the other party’s explanation, he just wanted to see the other party’s statement!
In a word, are you in favor or against?
If you are in favor, then we are good brothers and good partners!
If you are against, then I’m sorry, you and I will be enemies from now on, and if we meet again in the future, we can only meet again on the battlefield!
Obviously, the representative of the Banya also understood this, so after hearing Mainz’s words After saying this, he was stunned and didn’t know what to say!
The situation in Banya is not good. The Falange Party and the Red Party are fighting for the country’s ruling power. Under this situation, the king of Banya can’t determine the next prime minister. As a result, the Banya representative who entered Berlin to attend the European Union Leaders’ Summit this time is not the national leader of Banya.
The problem with not being the leader of the country is that it is difficult for him to make a decision on the requirements of Mainz and the Third Reich, because he himself does not have the authority to do so!
If he can’t make his own decision, then he can’t answer Mainz’s words, because anything he says now may not count!
“This, this, I, I can’t make the decision!”
“Then let the people who can make the decision come. Why doesn’t King Alfonso XIII come in person? Does he look down on the heads of state present at the meeting?”
Mainz was very straightforward and rude. He even mentioned the name of the King of Banya, which frightened the Banya representative so much that he trembled all over and dared not say a word anymore!
After all, this was a discussion about their own king. How dare a small representative like him make a comment?
After Mainz finished talking to the Banya representative, he ignored him and turned to look at Italy and Switzerland.
Although he did not speak, everyone could see that he was waiting for the answers from these two countries.
The representative of Switzerland quickly stood up:”Switzerland is a permanent neutral country, so our constitution stipulates that we cannot participate in any international organization. We cannot participate in the former League of Nations and the Alliance. It is not that we want to deliberately go against the Third Reich. It is really not allowed by the constitution, so…”
The representative of Switzerland The frustrated representative of the pressed duck learned one thing, that is, they must obey the Third Reich as much as possible and must not show any disobedience, otherwise it would only completely anger the Third Reich!
Switzerland is not like pressed duck. Pressed duck is at least a second-rate country, while Switzerland is not even a third-rate country. They have a population of only 400 at most, and they are located in the mountains with barren land. They cannot even maintain a self-sufficient life, and a large amount of materials need to be imported from outside, such as food, coal, oil and various necessities of life!
In this case, Switzerland really dare not offend the Third Reich.
Once it really offends the other party, as long as the German army closes the border ports and prohibits the circulation of goods, Switzerland itself will not be able to bear it.
However, Switzerland is really unwilling to join the European Union, so they can only use this method reasons to fool Mainz.
Mainz glanced at the Swiss representative, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
The Swiss representative was relieved. Mainz did not reprimand him in person, nor did he say anything harsh to Swiss, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
However, Mainz did not make a clear statement on what he said just now, which made him feel uneasy. After all, it is not really safe now!
As for why Mainz did not express his opinion against Swiss, it was entirely because Swiss was too small, so it was easy to control and deal with, so there was no need to rush to target them.
Compared with Swiss, Italy, the strongest of the three countries, is obviously the most difficult one. Unlike
Banya, the Italian representative attending the meeting happened to be their Prime Minister Mussolini.
Mainz also knew this person. It’s not just one or two days. This guy is ambitious and a little self-willed.
He used to join the Red Party in his early years, but later, I don’t know what happened, he suddenly turned into a fascist.
Eight years ago, this guy launched a military operation to march into Rome, successfully seized the power of Italy, and forced the king of Italy to appoint him as the Prime Minister of Italy. He turned from an unknown little officer to the ruler of the largest country in southern Europe!
Mainz first dealt with this guy during the German-Austrian merger. At that time, the Allies were busy fighting with the bear in Eastern Europe and did not have much energy to interfere with the actions of the German army. So they instigated the countries around Odili to send troops, and among them, Italy and Romania sent the most troops. As one of the major powers in Europe, Italy’s military threat was obviously greater, so Mainz sent Model to defend and block the attack of the Italian army.
Originally, Model, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, could not stop the attack of 100,000 Italian troops, so in the eyes of the Allies, this was a battle that was bound to fail.
As a result, no one expected that this battle would become Model’s famous battle. He not only blocked the Italian attack, but also took the initiative to attack, using several unexpected attacks to cut off the retreat of the Italian army.
It happened that a coup occurred in Italy at this time. Mussolini led his troops into the capital Rome and overthrew the ruling party, causing chaos in Italy. There was no time and energy to support the battle on the front line, resulting in the 100,000 Italian troops surrounded on the front line. When they could not break through and there was no hope of rescue, they could only choose to surrender to the German army!
So, Model, who defeated the strong with the weak and defeated and captured the enemy with inferior forces, began to emerge and entered the ranks of famous generals!
To some extent, Mussolini’s initial actions helped Mainz in disguise. Without his coup, the German army’s actions would not have been so smooth.
