"Is the Russians’ fighting power really that much stronger than ours? Besides, aren’t their main forces going to attack the Germans? In that case, how many main forces can they deploy here? Besides, the Russians also have a large number of vassal troops. Their vassal troops can’t be stronger than ours, right?" Prime Minister Mussolini was very unwilling.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the fighting power of the Russian vassal troops is indeed not as good as that of the Russians’ own army. However, we can’t underestimate those vassal troops. Their weapons and equipment are not worse than ours, or even stronger. In terms of fighting will, they are also more tenacious. Previously, on the battlefield in North Africa, the performance of the Russian vassal troops was already very strong. If a fight really breaks out, except for our few elite troops, the rest of the troops may not be the opponents of the Russian vassal troops at all. Not to mention the new troops that have just been formed, the fighting power is even more worrying!" Marshal Rudolf Graziani said03.
As the former commander of the North African Army Group, he undoubtedly has a lot to say in this regard.
Prime Minister Mussolini’s face suddenly became worse and uglier.
"Damn it!" Prime Minister Mussolini couldn’t help but curse.
Their army is no match for the Russians, which is understandable in his opinion.
The Russians are too powerful, which is already a well-known fact.
However, they can’t even beat the Russian vassal army. Isn’t this too hurtful to their self-esteem and face?
"That is to say, even if we try our best to resist the Russians’ attack, we can’t resist them?" Mussolini asked.
"Yes, Prime Minister. At most, they can survive for a while longer. However, that would also cause us to suffer greater losses and casualties. Besides, our soldiers may not be able to hold on for that long. Once the war goes badly, I am afraid that countless people will surrender to the Russians." Marshal Badoglio said.
These senior military officials of the Caesar Kingdom are still very clear about the nature of their soldiers.
The soldiers of the Caesar Kingdom are best at fighting a favorable battle. In another time and space, the Germans led them to the battlefield in North Africa and beat the British Empire to a pulp.
But if they were allowed to face a powerful enemy alone, they would probably be the ones who were beaten to a pulp.
In this case, can we still expect them to fight the invading enemy? That is simply unrealistic!
"Okay, gentlemen. So, what else do you have? How can we save our country? I believe that you all don’t want to see our country destroyed by the Russians, right?" Mussolini asked.
"Mr. Prime Minister, if we fight, we are no match for the Russians and we can’t defeat them. Continuing to fight the Russians will only make us pay a greater price. The final result will also beIt is difficult to escape the path of being destroyed by the Russians. Then, we may only be able to seek other ways. For example, end this war in a peaceful way. After paying a certain price, the kingdom can withdraw from this war with dignity. So as to avoid paying a greater price as much as possible! "Foreign Minister Ciano proposed.
Ciano is Mussolini’s son-in-law, and was once regarded as his successor to be trained by him.
Therefore, Mussolini also attaches great importance to Ciano’s opinions.
However, if the Caesar Kingdom prays for peace to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it will undoubtedly be a great shame.
This will make them be crowned as traitors again, even if they don’t care too much about it. But it sounds very bad after all. If possible, who wants to bear such a title?
"Mr. Prime Minister, this is a good idea. Judging from the current international situation, although the strength of the anti-Russian alliance is still very strong. However, the Russian Empire already has a very high chance of winning this war. The possibility of the Russian Empire winning the final victory in this war is very high. If we continue to be enemies with the Russian Empire and continue to fight with them, it will only cost us a greater price. Even, our country will be completely destroyed. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
If we can negotiate with the Russians, even if it will cost a certain price, as long as we can save our country, then everything is worth it! "
Marshal Badoglio echoed.
Other senior military officials also expressed their support.
Everyone has no confidence in the next war. If we can negotiate and end this war in a peaceful way, it would be the best.
Prime Minister Mussolini couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
"Well, if we can negotiate with the Russians, I have no objection. However, the most critical issue is that even if we want to negotiate with the Russians, they may not agree. The advantage they have now is already very obvious. In addition, if the Russians put forward very, very harsh conditions, so harsh that we can’t accept them at all, then what should we do? "Mussolini asked.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I think we must show enough sincerity. Sicily and Sardinia, which have been occupied by the Russians, are probably impossible to get back. In addition, we can no longer be hostile to the Russians, and even surrender to them and become their vassal states. Moreover, we have to send troops to fight for them. In this way, the Russians may let us go.
If things go wrong, the Russians will ask us to pay a war reparations.
But even so, it is better than our country being destroyed by the Russians! Once it is completely destroyed by the Russians, the Caesar Kingdom will no longer exist. We will be like meat on the chopping board, let the Russians slaughter us. ThenFor us, it is absolutely unacceptable. "Ciano said.
Mussolini nodded. He also knew that it was necessary to ensure the continued existence of their country as much as possible. That was the most important thing.
"Well, in that case, let’s negotiate with the Russians. However, we still have to guarantee our interests as much as possible." Mussolini ordered.
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Ciano replied.
And the senior military officials of the Caesar Kingdom couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief..
