Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 490: The death of the leader (middle)

Mussolini told a wonderful story, in which the commander-in-chief of the headquarters became an intelligent hero.

When Marshal Badogrio was approached by the traitors and tried to buy him from the throne of the kingdom’s prime minister, he immediately expressed firm opposition to this traitor’s behavior and tried to use force to hold him on the other side, and Under the circumstances of forcing him to follow the fan, he launched a wonderful battle with the conspirators.

The Marshal cleverly convinced the other party that he was willing to stand on the side of the coup, while at the same time working hard to collect the treason evidence of the conspiracy group, and tried to communicate this to Germany. .

The marshal’s successful rebellion allowed Mussolini to smash the coup in a very short period of time and reduce the possible losses of the country and the people due to political turmoil. So Marshal Badogrio said in this incident , Has made outstanding contributions to the Kingdom and the Italian nation.

After the coup was crushed, Marshal Badogrio stood up bravely, personally commanding the troops loyal to the Prime Minister, arrested the rebels, and provided the most critical for the crimes committed by these people Sexual testimony.

Just two hours before the start of the speech, Marshal Badogrio issued an execution order for the members of the rebel group, using the heads of those traitors to prove his loyalty to the Kingdom of Italy and the Prime Minister Mussolini.

So in recognition of what the distinguished old soldier did for the country, Mussolini immediately announced at the venue that he had issued the promotion order of Marshal Badoglio, and he would become the first in the history of the Kingdom of Italy The two marshals of Italy's highest empire, and the first to have this honorary rank, of course, is Prime Minister Mussolini himself.

A wave of cheers erupted at the scene, and people shouted Badogrio's name to congratulate the newly released Supreme Marshal of the Empire.

At the call of Mussolini, Badogrio walked blankly onto the podium. He shook hands with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, embraced, and kissed each other on the cheeks. Then Mussolini personally put his hands on his chest in praise. An Italian crown medal was hung on the front.

The Marshal of Italy's highest empire was fooled by the Prime Minister like a piece of mud-carved wood and plastic. Although there was a stiff smile on his face, he could no longer see the soul in his eyes.

Badoglio was completely subdued by Mussolini, he lost everything he was proud of, lost the dignity of a soldier, succumbed to violence and prostitution, lost the morale of the soldiers, and had no shame The stolen goods framed his colleagues and exchanged his power and glory with the blood of his men and close friends who were faithful and believed in him.

What a shameful thing. Badoglio, who once regarded honor as life, regretted that he did not die on the day of the coup. He is willing to fight against the enemy with live ammunition. The French, English, Yugoslavs, Greeks, and Romanians can do whatever they want. At least he can die on the battlefield with dignity. The puppets to be manipulated are stronger.

But he was already on the thief ship, and his hands were stained with the blood of his companions. At this time, even if he wanted to look back, it was no longer possible.

The enemies of Mussolini, including their families, now regard him as the most despicable traitor, because all the arrest warrants have his signature, the testimony he provided at the trial, countless innocent people He was sent to the execution ground in his name.

In Mussolini's confidantes, there is no place for this marshal to exist. After this incident, he is destined to never gain the trust of this prime minister for a lifetime.

Badoglio can foresee that in the days to come, he will be just a guise, a weapon, a puppet, and when he loses his value, he will be thrown aside like garbage. Like Marshal De Bono, who owes a lot.

But Badoglio had to grind his teeth and be patient. For the safety of him and his family, the Field Marshal could only choose to compromise with the devil. Mussolini is not a good boy or a girl. In order to achieve his goal, the Italian prime minister can become extremely cruel. This is the fact that Badogrio witnessed firsthand. The execution of hundreds or thousands of people in this kingdom The prime minister's eyes are just a string of numbers.

The Mafia on Sicily had tasted this kind of suffering. Such a dynamic social group was driven out of Italy alive.

Badoglio believes that he cannot be more powerful than the Mafia. Although he is an army marshal, he can truly obey his command unconditionally, and may not add up to a hundred people.

When the Marshal changed into a new badge, the event had come to an end. Mussolini still issued a bunch of promises to the people and promised that the society would soon return to peace. He had signed a series of agreements with Germany Italy will usher in a long period of peace. As long as Mussolini is still the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, everyone's life will surely get better.

So in the singing of the Italian national anthem by all the people, this speech conference was successfully concluded.

Mussolini and Badoglio boarded his Fiat 2800 convertible hand in hand, and under the guidance of two road bikes, passed the cheering crowd of people through the lane and slowly drove towards the road surrounding the square.

In order to show how popular he is in the news movie, Mussolini deliberately narrowed the scope of vigilance on both sides, so that citizens can see their leader at a close distance. This is his specialty. Mexico Sorini knew how to win the favor of the Italians.

But today's situation is a bit different. When the convertible passed by a group of nuns in black robes, an accident suddenly happened.

A nun standing in the front row of the crowd lifted the short cloak under the guard's eyelids, and then the grenade that had been prepared in his hand was thrown into Mussolini's car.

"Go to death, demon!" At the same time, another nun beside her shouted loudly, hiding a Beretta m38 submachine gun under her short cloak.

The pretty-looking woman, holding the automatic weapon flat, held the trigger without any hesitation, and suddenly the crisp and dense gunshots began to reverberate above the square.

Mussolini’s guards were caught off guard. They didn’t even notice these nuns. Here is Rome. After crossing the river is the Vatican. Every day, there are all kinds of church personnel who go to the pilgrimage. Mussolini's fans, because the pope praised the prime minister himself, calling him a blessed saint.

About five or six seconds after the attack started, no **** was able to respond. Everyone was stunned by what was happening in front of them, and the closer guards had fallen into a intensive rain of bullets at the moment.

The murderer was less than four meters away from Mussolini's car, and there were no obstacles in the middle, so the grenade was accurately dropped into the car. Everyone who witnessed this scene thought that Mussolini was almost finished, and no one could survive the explosion of the grenade.

But six seconds passed, and ten seconds passed, until the female submachine gunner ran out of thirty bullets in the gun and replaced the second magazine, but the grenade did not explode.

"It was later discovered that it was an Italian-made Alto m35 grenade, and the safety disc was pulled out, but because the distance was too close, the thrower's power was not enough, the safety cap was not able to throw off the body, and the safety bolt was only pulled out half , So the fuze failed to release the insurance." Weierle explained to Xu Jun.

This is an old problem with Italian grenades, but it can also be regarded as their advantage. Because of this special insurance mechanism, Italian grenades will never explode in the hands of users. It is especially suitable for those who are inexperienced. Effectively prevent them from accidentally blowing themselves up into the sky.

"What happened next?" Xu Jun nodded to understand, and then leaned down in the ashtray to dust the cigar.

Mussolini was so scared that when he saw what was falling on his knee, he wanted to throw it out of the car the first time. Unexpectedly, Badoglio, who was sitting next to him, thought the same way. The Field Marshal responded quickly. As a result, the two men's hands collided, and the grenade rolled onto the floor of the carriage.

The moment when Badogrio said afterwards, it was still a look of fear. He thought he was dead at the time. The Italian grenade was loaded with a fuze, which hit a hard object and detonated the body.

They could not stand up at this time. The woman with the submachine gun was still shooting wildly at the convertible. The driver was hit in the head by a stray bullet, and the brain and blood were splashed on the marshal.

And the woman throwing a grenade, at this time also pulled out a pistol from her clothes, she was shooting, while approaching the convertible.

Mussolini's guard finally reacted at this time. The guards shot the two assassins with their furiously pistols and rifles. Finally, the training was not in vain. The two women were almost simultaneously shot to the ground by intensive bullets.

The woman who carried the submachine gun was taken care of. She received at least seven bullets and died on the spot. Another woman was shot in the arm and thigh, and until the guard subdued her, she was still struggling to continue shooting at the convertible.

At this time, there was chaos in the whole square, and there were figures screaming and running around. Some black shirts came up from all around to try to protect their leaders, and there were some reporters who were not afraid of death. Recording the scene of the scene, this is a front page material that can make the world sensational, and it can definitely sell a good price if it is knocked down abroad.

"Don't panic! I'm okay! I'm okay!" Mussolini shouted loudly as he stood up in the back seat of the convertible with the dumb grenade in his hand.

The Italian Prime Minister seems to want to show his bravery in front of everyone. He has been assassinated many times in his life, and each time he successfully escaped a catastrophe. This is what he thinks is God’s preference for him and his destiny. Proof of presence.

But this time, he finally lost his life because of this reckless move.
