Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The incompetence of the Italians does not mean that the German defense can be any easier

    On the frontal battlefield, the U.S. military quickly launched a powerful attack.  The American troops, covered by artillery fire and tanks, cautiously advanced toward the German positions.

    But the German positions that had just been brutally bombed were quiet, a strange silence in the noisy positions.  This is an innate instinct of a soldier.  Every soldier among them knew when was the best time to fire.

    They silently watched the approaching tanks and infantry, waiting there silently.

    At this moment, Wang Weiyi is also watching his brave and loyal soldiers. He is proud to have such soldiers.

    The enemy is getting closer and closer, and you can see the tank clearly.

    Wang Weiyi then put down the telescope in his hand: "Let's start!"

    Let's get started - when the marshal's order was issued, all self-propelled artillery and all available artillery fire on the German position opened fire at the same time.

    The fierce battle also officially started at this moment.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The battle between the unicorn and the blizzard begins, and at this time, the Baron's friends are also involved in intense work.

    The Baron is never lonely!

    Italy, Milan.

    This is a large city in northwestern Italy, the second largest city in Italy, the largest city in Italy and one of the largest urban areas in the world, and a world-famous historical and cultural city.

    On this day, celebrities gathered in Milan, and these gentlemen and ladies had only one destination:

    Chateau Margaux opened in Milan.

    This is the famous Chateau Margaux, and it can even be said to be a miracle in the winery industry.  When Chateau Margaux declined and was acquired, Pipondu.  Xigang appeared, and he successfully restored the Xigang family to its leading position in the winery industry, and reacquired the lost Chateau Margaux in one fell swoop.

    It is precisely because of this that Mr. Pipondu has become one of the most respected people in Europe and the United States.

    On the day when the Milan store opens, Mr. Pipondu will also attend in person, which is a huge event.  Mr. Pipondu rarely appears in public, especially after he announced his retirement, he has become almost isolated from the world. It is said that only a few friends can see him.

    Of course, there are some people who can easily see Mr. Pipondu, that is, beauties.  Mr. Pipondu is famous throughout Europe for his love of women, and there is always an endless stream of young and beautiful women around him.

    "A rich man with huge wealth, even if he is an old man, there are always women flocking to him.

    People in the upper class of Italy are proud to receive Mr. Pipondu's opening invitation. Those who have not received it will try their best to get one.  Especially those women in Italy, whether they are beautiful or not, are working hard there, knowing that as long as they can get close to Mr. Pipondu, they may be able to get a lot of benefits from him.

    They probably all thought Mr. Pipondu was a fool who only used money on beautiful women.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Even Italian Prime Minister Betrul was invited.  There are some unconfirmed rumors in Italy. It is said that Bertrul was able to become prime minister entirely because he relied on Pipondu's financial resources, which allowed Italy's new dictator Vittorio.  Mussolini appointed him Italy's new prime minister.

    The previous Italian dictator Benito.  In the third year before his death, Mussolini deposed Umberto II, the last king of the Kingdom of Italy, and established the Italian Social Republic, with him serving as the lifelong president of the Italian Social Republic.  Three years later Benito.  After Mussolini's death, his son Vittorio.  Mussolini becomes Italy's new president for life.

    This is a great dictator who is greedy for power and money, no less than his father. Under the inducement of the United States, he did not hesitate to betray his former ally Germany, and even joined the attack on Germany.

    Of course, this is just the nature of Italy.

    On the day when the Chateau Margaux Milan store opened, celebrities gathered and luxury cars could be seen everywhere.  Those well-dressed gentlemen and ladies walked in with their heads held high one by one in the eyes of countless envious people.

    And those who did not receive the invitation letter, and of course those reporters who were unable to enter the scene, were waiting anxiously outside, hoping to see the legendary Pipondu.  Xigang.

    But they probably didn¡¯t know that Pipondu had already slipped in through the back door at this time, and he didn¡¯t want to be too conspicuous.

    When Pipondu appeared with two blonde beauties on his arms, he immediately aroused warm applause from the scene.

    ?Pipondu gave a speech of thanks with a cheerful face. Of course, the two blond beauties beside him were also very eye-catching.  After finishing his speech of thanks, Pipondu once again attracted a round of applause and cheers.

    Pipondu prepared a sumptuous dinner for the guests. He had a brief exchange with several old friends, and then quietly entered a private reception room that had been prepared for him.

    Here, the Prime Minister of the Italian Social Republic, Bertrul, has been waiting for some time.

    "Prime Minister Bertrul, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting here for so long." Pipondu said apologetically as soon as he entered this hidden room.

    "Look, my friend, why are you saying sorry? Isn't the friendship between us worth the time of waiting?" Bertrul and Pipondu hugged: "My dear Pipondu  , you look healthier than the last time I saw you.¡±

    "Ah, I can still deal with two women at once"

    Pipondu¡¯s words made both men laugh. Then Pipondu asked the Italian Prime Minister to sit down and poured him a glass of wine: ¡°Mr. Prime Minister, how is the war going?¡±

    "I think it's going well for the time being." Bertrul's answer was not particularly certain: "Originally, we should have entered Berlin by now, but things have changed. Do you remember that Baron Alexson? He actually  There he is again, my God, I'm not sure we can win anymore."

    "Ah, that's a pity." Pipondu concealed his inner joy: "What about the leader? I heard that the leader has been somewhat dissatisfied with you recently?"

    When asked about this issue, Bertrul sighed: "Yes, the leader will raise taxes again to cope with the huge military expenditure, but Italy's taxes are already very high, which will cause people's resistance. I politely told the leader  He made suggestions, but was severely reprimanded by him. "Pipondu, you have to know that these taxes are mainly concentrated on the civilians. Their burden is already heavy. Do you want them to continue to lose everything for the government?"

    "Yes, we should increase taxes on the rich, like me"

    Pipondu's joke made Bertrul smile a little, but he then said seriously: "That is impossible, this will make the leader opposed."

    "It's really not worth your experience." Pipondu shrugged: "I remember that in order to attract Italy to join the war, the United States promised a lot of benefits in North Africa and the Middle East. These places can completely make up for Italy's military expenditures in the war. Could it be that the United States  Haven¡¯t people fulfilled their promises yet?¡±

    "Promise?" Bertrul sneered: "The German army continues to resist tenaciously in North Africa and the Middle East. Not only that, even if the US military actually controls the promised areas, they do not even allow Italian troops to enter. What kind of alliance is this?  ?¡±

    In fact, Pipondu has known these things for a long time. It is exactly the same as before. Both warring parties are taking advantage of Italy's greed and constantly promising various benefits, but when they finish using it, they will get nothing.  To Italy.

    From this point of view, Italy is actually very tragic.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    ¡°If it were me, I would simply withdraw Italy from the war.¡±

    Pipondu¡¯s sudden words made Bertrul nod involuntarily: ¡°Yes.

    Leaders once threatened to withdraw from the Allied Forces because of the Americans' breach of trust, but we did not have the courage to actually do so.  "

    "Why not, Mr. Prime Minister?" Pipondu smiled: "I am a businessman and a businessman needs to be honest. Just like my wine, there is absolutely no impurity allowed. If either party to the contract breaks their promise,  Then the contract can be terminated automatically. I think the same should be done between countries."

    Bertrul let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.

    "Mr. Prime Minister, I think we should talk about some issues instead." Pipondu put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "During the period when you became Prime Minister, the Xigang family spent a lot of money.  It took a lot of effort and a lot of money, I don¡¯t think you deny this, right?¡±

    "Yes, Mr. Pipondu, I am still grateful for your kindness." Bertrul said hurriedly.

    "I remember you once said you were willing to repay any request we made at any time. Does this promise still count now?"

    "Of course it counts, what do you want, Mr. Pipondu."

    Pipondu said calmly: "Let Italy withdraw from the war."

    "What?" Bertrul stood up with a start, and then found that he was lost.?Sit down again, this is really incredible.

    Originally, he thought that Pipondu¡¯s request was nothing more than Italy giving the Xigang family greater discounts, allowing him to obtain larger profits, but he never expected that he would actually make such a request:

    Get Italy out of the war!

    "There is simply no way to do this." Bertrul said without even thinking: "I can't agree to your request. Please forgive me, Mr. Pipondu."

    "Look, we just talked about the spirit of the contract, and you have already violated it." Pipondu did not care at all about the other party's rejection: "Is this a problem with the way the Italians handle it? Mr. Prime Minister, I must remind you that you  The impression in the leader's mind is very bad, and since I can make you the Prime Minister of Italy, what's so difficult about it? There are many people who want to do things for me."

    This is already a naked threat.

    Bertrul thought for a long time and said helplessly: "Mr. Pipondu, I am sure you have such ability. In the eyes of others, I am a majestic prime minister, but in your eyes, I am just a  Just a small person. However, I still refuse your request, which is really beyond the scope of my authority."

    Pipondu had long expected such a reaction: "Then what else can I say? You are really an upright personAh, I suddenly remembered something. You once accepted a sum of money from me.  With a bribe of twenty thousand dollars, the most valuable piece of land in Milan was allocated to me to open a winery.

    Ah, I remembered it again. I also helped you buy a villa in the United States. The American woman you found behind your wife¡¯s back is now living in it with her son, right?  I wonder what the leader would do to you if these things were spread?  What will the Italians do to you?  "

    Bertrul's face changed. He gritted his teeth and stared at the unfamiliar businessman in front of him. Then he said with a pale face: "Yes, you gave these to me. When these things get out, I  I will be punished severely by the leader, and I will be despised by the Italians. But if I withdraw from the war, Italy will suffer retaliation from the United States. I will never agree to your request, Mr. Pipondu, you can go out and expose me now.  "

    "Don't be anxious, Mr. Prime Minister." Pipondu smiled slightly: "Do you think things are really that simple? Ah, I want to make a call first, please wait a moment.

    After saying that, he stood up and wanted to talk on the phone. He waited for a long time and then said to the phone: "Mr. Kasanovich? Yes, I am Pipondu. Ah, hello to you too. I  Have you done what you were asked to do? Very good, Mr. Bertrul, the Prime Minister of Italy, will have a call with you.¡±

    Then, he put the phone on the table and sat back: "Mr. Prime Minister, this is the call from Mr. Kasanovich in New York. I suggest you listen to it. Of course, you have to talk to him in English. He  I can¡¯t understand your Italian.¡±

    Bertrul hesitated and grabbed the phone. As time went by, his expression changed. When the familiar cries of women and children came from the other end of the phone, his expression became extremely miserable.  The call then suddenly went dead.

    Bertrul grabbed the silent phone, threw it away, rushed to Pipondu and shouted loudly: "Shameless, this is so shameless, are you letting those gangsters seize women and children to threaten me?  No, I will never surrender to you!"

    "Calm down, Mr. Prime Minister." Pipondu said in the same calm tone: "It's not me but you who are shameless. When you forget the kindness of the Xigang family to you. And I must remind you, Cassano  Mr. Veitch is definitely not a gangster. He is the king of New York. He can do anything he wants in New York. You should not call him a gangster. As for your woman and children, let me think carefully.  think."

    The smile on Pipondu's face became brighter: "Yes, you just used the word threat. I must admit that I was threatening you. In New York, that is your most beloved woman and most beloved son.  . But so what? If you fail to agree to my request, your son will be killed, and then your woman will be sent to a lunatic asylum. I almost forgot that you were in Italy.  You have a wife and children, right? Do you think you can protect them?"

    After saying this, Pipondu's face turned gloomy: "When you violate the spirit of the contract, you are betraying me. Why should I be merciful to those who betray me?"

    "I will order your arrest immediately!" Bertrul roared.

    "Arrest me? On what charge?" Pipondu sneered: "Is it just because of what I said now? What do you have?Evidence?  Ah, I forgot. I am going to donate a war fund of two hundred thousand dollars to the leader. Do you think Leader Vittorio is more willing to help me or you, a person he doesn't like?  "

    Bertrul¡¯s body swayed, he took a few steps back, and then slowly sat down.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Look, this is the attitude you should adopt." A smile appeared on Pipondu's face again: "We are very good friends, right? As long as you do exactly what I say, all terrible things will be over.  It won¡¯t happen. You can still be your Prime Minister and you will regain the trust of Leader Vittorio.¡±

    "But the leader won't listen to me." Bertrul said in frustration.

    "We will handle the affairs of Leader Vittorio. All you have to do is to do your job according to my instructions." Pipondu was already confident: "Please answer me now, and you will continue to complete the relationship with me.  contract?"

    Bertrul buried his head deeply, and then nodded painfully.

    He knew that from the moment he nodded, he could no longer get rid of Pipondu. From then on, he would become a puppet of Pipondu.

    What terrible things will happen in the future?  He was even more unable to answer himself.

    "The first step is to advocate that this war is immoral at home." Pipondu finally revealed his plan: "We must let every Italian know that the suffering they face is entirely caused by the war.  , Italy must withdraw from this war immediately, and of course I will send people to assist you."

    "Then what?" Bertrul asked desperately.

    "Then you will wait for my next order." Pipondu picked up his wine glass again: "A good glass of red wine needs to be tasted slowly, otherwise you will not be able to understand the taste. Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think?  ?¡±

    Bertrul smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "I will do as you ask, and I hope you can fulfill your promise."

    "Of course, I am a person who attaches great importance to the spirit of contract."

    "Last question, why did you do this?"

    "Of course I can tell you that I am doing this entirely to repay a person's kindness!"
