Because Greece itself does not have much military industrial base, Greece originally received some support, but the German army won battle after battle, resulting in those supports being used in other places.

This led to Greece being quickly captured by the German army without effective support. In order to appease its allies, the German army generously divided Greece and handed it over to Italy and Bulgaria to rule.

It was precisely because of assisting Italy in attacking Greece that the Barbarossa plan was not successfully implemented in the end. Although many Soviet main forces were eliminated, Moscow was not captured within the scheduled time.

Even in the winter, it suffered a big setback and was counterattacked by the Soviet army, resulting in the loss of a large number of elite troops in Moscow.

It was based on these that Greece was savagely plundered by the German army, and machinery, food, and raw materials were requisitioned without compensation, and even forced to bear military expenses.

So when Ribbentrop arrived in Greece, he felt that the task assigned to him by His Majesty was too difficult, because the people here hated the German army more than anywhere else.

"It's all the fault of those idiots in Italy." Ribbentrop muttered. If Italy could defeat Greece by itself, the German army would not have to withdraw troops and supplies to fight Greece, and these things would not have happened.

As for why Italy wanted to fight Greece, it was mainly because Italy hoped to restore the glory of the Roman Empire. Therefore, the inflated Italy threatened Greece with war from the beginning and asked it to hand over the southern ports. Unfortunately, it was rejected.

Then the Italian army began to prepare for the attack, but the Italian military opposed this offensive plan, because it would take time to assemble the troops, and a rash attack would encounter great danger.

But in the end, Italy still launched an attack. The combat effectiveness of this hastily formed force was really not satisfactory. It lacked effective supplies and air support, artillery and Tanks were also very scarce, although the initial attack went very smoothly.

But after reaching the mountainous area, the attack became difficult. In addition, the Greek army destroyed the roads when retreating, making it impossible for the Italian mechanized troops to advance. In the end, they had to abandon the vehicles and advance on foot.

This move had a serious impact on Italy, whose morale was already low. At this time, the Greek army had retreated to the position of the Kalamas River, waiting for the Italian army to arrive in Ali.

When the Italian army arrived near the river bank with difficulty, before they had time to rest, the Greek army launched a counterattack and directly defeated the Italian army's vanguard. If it were not for the desperate cover of the Air Force, it is estimated that this vanguard would have been wiped out. In this way, the Italian army's first round of offensive was like this. was blocked at the border.

Afterwards, the Italian army, unwilling to accept defeat, decided to launch a second wave of attack. This time, they learned from the previous experience and lessons and dispatched the most elite mountain troops. This troop was indeed an elite troop and quickly crossed the mountainous area.

However, the Italian army was so stupid that it was hopeless. The supply base was attacked by the Greek army, which led to the collapse of this mountain troop. Many officers even abandoned their troops directly.

After that, they launched several consecutive attacks, but all failed. Finally, the Italian army was unable to continue the attack. At this time, the Greek army began to counterattack. Although Italy sent troops to reinforce, it could not stop the Greek attack.

When the German army learned that Italy had not even defeated Greece, it almost fainted. You must know that Italy at this time was They had an absolute advantage, but were defeated and fled. A large amount of supplies became the supplies of the Greek army, and even these equipments later became the main force to resist the German attack. The

Italian army's reputation as a weakling was now completely established, but the German army could not watch Italy being captured, because then the Allies would directly open up a second battlefield and attack the German homeland from Italy, and then the entire defense line would completely collapse.

It was based on these that the German army decided to send troops, and captured the entire territory of Greece in just 24 days, and the world was shocked again.

While people were lamenting the invincibility of the German army, they cursed the Italian army for being a waste.

Thinking of this, Ribbentrop's face became very ugly, but no one could say who was right or wrong now. Maybe it was right, maybe it was wrong, and in the end, let the winner speak.

"Hello, sir."Marshal List, the commander-in-chief of the German Southeast Front in Athens, said with a smile.

Looking at the Marshal List in front of him, Ribbentrop couldn't help but sigh. This Marshal had a very hot temper and often went against His Majesty. He had been ordered to resign, but was recently re-employed and kicked directly to Greece.

Marshal List always boldly pointed out some command errors of the Supreme Command, and was merciless. For such a straightforward person, everyone naturally didn't like it. Of course, August didn't like it very much, but he didn't hate it too much, and directly let him continue to command the German army in Latvia.

"Hello, Marshal, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still in good health."Ribbentep said with a smile."You forgot that I am still a doctor." Marshal List said with a big laugh.

Marshal List did not have much emotion about being re-employed. In his eyes, he was just a soldier, and soldiers should obey orders as their first duty. Since the country needs him, he must follow orders.

"I came here with a mission this time." Ribbentrop said seriously.

Marshal List nodded and was not too surprised. After all, it must be a very important mission for Ribbentrop to go out in person.

"Please speak." When they arrived at the secret meeting room, Marshal Lister asked with a serious expression

"This is your majesty's plan, take a look." Ribbentrop took out a letter and handed it to Marshal List.

After reading the contents of the letter, Marshal List closed his eyes, pondered for a while and said:"You can give it a try. Those Greeks want to restore the glory of the Eastern Roman Empire all the time. If we really promise them Constantinople, they will definitely stand on our side wholeheartedly."

During the First World War, if it were not for the interference of Britain and France, Constantinople would have been the capital of Greece long ago. If the German army could really promise to give Constantinople to Greece, it would really be possible for Greece to join.

Seeing that List also agreed to this plan, Ribbentrop pondered for a while and said:"So, this plan has a great chance of success?"

"It is entirely possible."Marshal List nodded and replied:"But do we really want to take action against Turkey?"

Although Turkey was divided, it still has its foundation. At least in this area, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Relying on its status as a fence-sitter, it has the best of both worlds. Not only does the German army supply weapons and technology, but even the Allies also promise various benefits.

The purpose is to hope that it will control this strategic location. Once Turkey surrenders to the German army, the whole of Persia will be in turmoil.

Originally, the various countries in Persia did not accept the rule of the British Empire. If the German army went to attack, they would definitely become the guides.

It was Turkey that blocked the German army, so those small countries did not dare to move. Besides, if the German army really got Persian oil, it would be a disaster.

The origin of industry is Europe. The foundation here is too thick. Once there is endless oil, the energy that will burst out will be absolutely terrifying. Even America may not be able to compete with the whole of Europe.

"Turkey must make a choice. The Empire will never allow such a fence-sitter to play both sides. Want the benefits of both sides? Impossible."Ribbentrop said with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, Marshal List nodded. He also knew that the strategic position of Turkey was too important to the Empire. However, the Empire was now fighting on three fronts. Could it afford to open up another front?

"Don't worry, the Empire will not send too many troops this time. Although we are the main force, the logistics supplies will be provided by various countries."Ribbentrop saw Lister's concerns and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lister breathed a sigh of relief. If this is true, then we can still give it a try.

"Come, go and invite all the Greek leaders here. We have something important to discuss."Since everything was settled, Liszt did not hesitate and immediately ordered

""Yes!" said the adjutant, who had been silent the whole time.

Soon, all the senior officials above the ministerial level and major general level who stayed in Athens came to Lister's headquarters. Although they were curious about what was going on, they still followed the adjutant obediently.

"Tell me, what happened that called us all to the headquarters?"

"Could it be that our reselling of supplies has been discovered?"

"It shouldn't be possible. We did it very secretly, and there were many German officers involved. I haven't heard that they were arrested."

"Don't be so desperate, maybe there are other things."

Just when everyone was whispering, Ribbentrop and Marshal List came to the conference room together, looked at everyone present, and introduced with a smile:"Many of you are old acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce yourself."

Seeing that it was Ribbentrop, many people breathed a sigh of relief. It should not be about their reselling of supplies, otherwise the tone would not be so kind.

"I have called you all here today because I have something to announce." Ribbentrop glanced around and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, the Great, has decided to return all the territories occupied by Italy to Greece."

This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the water, making everyone dizzy. Return all the occupied territories to them? Is today April Fool's Day? Or is their Majesty crazy?

0...0

The meat in the mouth was spit out, this is incredible

"Is this true?" someone asked tremblingly.

"Of course, your officials and troops can go to take over at any time."Ribbentrop said without denying it.

Seeing Ribbentrop say this, everyone was ecstatic. This is really good news. If this news is announced, the prestige of the government will rise sharply, and those damn resistance organizations will have nowhere to escape.

Look, you have resisted for so long, but there is no result, while we have recovered most of the territory.

As for the territory occupied by Bulgaria, they pretended not to see it. It is good enough to return part of it. What else do they want to do?

"I have another good news. The Empire has decided to send troops to Turkey and divide Constantinople to you as compensation for the territory occupied by Bulgaria."Ribbentrop dropped another shocking news.

Upon hearing the news, everyone was ecstatic and excited. Some people even stood up suddenly, stared at Ribbentrop, and said ecstatically:"Really?"

How much territory could be occupied by Bulgaria? If Constantinople was really divided among them, it would be too important for them.

Constantinople was the symbol of the Eastern Roman Empire. If it could really return to the hands of Greece, they would be fully qualified to declare themselves the successors of the Eastern Roman Empire.

"Yes, of course it is true, but there are also requirements."Ribbentrop said lightly.

Hearing this, everyone regained their composure. Such a big pie must have conditions. If there is nothing, they still suspect that there is some conspiracy.

"Please speak." The leading official said respectfully

"It's very simple. Announce to join the European Community we just formed and use a unified currency. At the same time, send 300,000 troops to attack Turkey."Ribbentrop explained.

Seeing that everyone was lost in thought, Ribbentrop said calmly:"Don't worry, the Empire will not let you attack Turkey alone. Before coming, we have already negotiated with the guerrillas in Nantes and other places. They have agreed to join the Empire and formed six countries. They will gather 500,000 people and will follow the Empire to attack Turkey."

"At the same time, the Empire will send 300,000 troops, plus your 300,000, so there will be 1.1 million troops, which can completely destroy the Tuji Kingdom, and Constantinople will be yours at that time."

Hearing this, many people breathed quickly. If this is really the case, they can cooperate. As for wanting to get Constantinople without making any effort, it is absolutely impossible.

As for the combat effectiveness of the German army, they are all obvious to all. The powerful tanks are like a nightmare that surrounds them all the time._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download the Faloo Novel APP!
