s offers the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading it, remember to vote for the month first.
Now the starting point 515 fan festival enjoys double monthly passes, and other activities have red envelopes You can also take a look Hersmann, Chloe, and Rathenau walked through two carved doors to a richly furnished study with rows of brown, red, and blue gilded books.
It was here that Hersmann met Mussolini for the first time, with his bulging eyes with an Italian gentleness.
There is also an ironic, exaggerated smile that looks a little vulgar.
Hersmann felt that the "beloved" Italian leader was a very shrewd politician, and that he had historically joined the world war completely clever and confused.
Standing with the Italian leader was a man younger than Hersmann, who was very handsome in appearance and had a beard.
Hersmann, who had seen this man in photographs sent by Stasi's Foreign Intelligence Service, was a big man, one of the four cores of the fascist party under Mussolini, the current commander-in-chief of the national economy, Itano Balbo, the future Italian air marshal, the minister of aviation, and the governor of Libya.
"Welcome, sir and ma'am."
The Italian leaders shook hands with Rathenau, Hersmann and Chloe very warmly.
Then he gestured majestically and asked them to sit down.
Rathenau sat on the same sofa as the leader himself, and Hersman and Chloe sat in the armchairs opposite them.
Balbo sat in an armchair to Mussolini's right, his eyes on Hersmann from the time Rathenau had just introduced them, and he obviously knew something about Hersmann.
"Let's talk in German, Commander-in-Chief Balbo and I both speak German."
The Italian leader spoke to Hersmann in fluent German.
He seemed to know that Hersmann did not speak Italian, and during the greeting just now, the leader had some conversations with Rathenau and Chloe in Italian, but spoke to Hersmann in German.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"I had a lot to say today, and I wanted Chloe to translate," Hersman said.
Now it doesn't look like it's needed. ” Hersmann smiled when he saw Mussolini, and looked very kind.
"Just say it, I invite you here today to hear your opinions, if we can reach a consensus.
Then the work will be much easier. ” Indeed, Hersmann thought to himself: if the Italian leader was willing to develop the Italian navy and air force according to his own advice.
Perhaps the Second World War would have been easier to fight.
As for the Italian Army, Hersmann, who knew later history, did not expect anything at all.
Italy's national power is clear, the production of steel and coal is less than that of Japan, and such an industrial base can barely build a decent navy and a once-leading air force in Europe, and can no longer demand anything from their army.
"Leader.
So I'll get straight to the point.
Hersman took several enlarged photographs from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed them to Balbo.
The future Italian Minister of Aviation took the photo, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Mussolini.
"Leader, the first photo is owned by BW company.
Companies in the U.S. and U.K. are ready to buy patent licenses.
I think we can include the grant of patents in the amount of damages. ” Mussolini looked at Hersmann and waited for him to continue.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, we hope that at the same time as the sale of patent licenses.
Integral output production line.
Just like the deal we made with the USSR. ” "Soviet" Mussolini was stunned, "you sold this engine to the Soviet Union" "Yes," Hersman said, "not only did we sell aircraft engines to the Soviet Union, but we also helped them design new fighters, bombers, and torpedo attack aircraft, as well as a light aircraft carrier."
"What aircraft carriers?"
Mussolini asked.
"Leader," Balbo reminded, "the second picture is of an aircraft carrier. ” "Lenin of 7500 tons."
"We completed all the designs before the defeat and sold the drawings to the Soviet Union after the Genya.
And engineers and skilled workers were sent to build this aircraft carrier at the shipyards in Leningrad.
Now it is a training ship of the Red Navy of the USSR.
In addition, the Soviets hired our men to design a 15,000-ton aircraft carrier, which will be built at the Black Sea shipyard.
If you Italy need it, we can first give you the technical information of the Lenin as an indemnity. ” According to the Washington Naval Treaty.
Italy can have a total of 60,000 tons of aircraft carriers, that is, four 15,000-ton aircraft carriers, similar to the historical Japanese Soryu.
Although aircraft carriers of this class cannot adapt to the winds and waves of the North Atlantic, the Italian Navy is actually a "Mediterranean Navy", and this aircraft carrier is the most suitable.
If the Italian Navy had four motherships and a relatively strong air force at the outbreak of war, it might have been able to suppress the British Mediterranean Fleet.
Mussolini pondered for a moment.

Then he turned around and asked Balbo, "Do we need it?"
Although the Italians won a quota of 60,000 tons of aircraft carriers for themselves at the Washington Naval Conference, they did not think that the Italian Navy really needed aircraft carriers, and it was not until the spring of 1941 that they decided to convert the cruise ship "Roma", which was launched in 1926, into an aircraft carrier, but the aircraft carrier was not finally completed until Italy surrendered.
"I think those drawings won't be expensive."
Balborough paused and said, "As for whether aircraft carriers are useful or not, I don't dare to draw conclusions now." ” Hersman interjected: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the conclusion cannot be guessed out of thin air, and experiments should be conducted. ” "Experiment," Balbo asked, "how to experiment" "Conduct experiments on striking surface ships from the air."
"The third photo is a torpedo attack aircraft converted from a Fokker F5 transport aircraft, and the fourth photo is a naval version of a C5 attack aircraft developed by the Baltic company FKBF."
If Italy needs it, we can provide several prototypes for experimentation, but the C5 and Fokker F5 attack models produced by the Baltic company FKBF cannot be used as compensation. ” "Leader, I support experimentation."
Balbo immediately agreed, "I've heard that similar experiments have been conducted in the United States, Great Britain and Japan" "Okay, then we'll do it too" Mussolini nodded his head.
Since Britain, the United States, and Japan have all played with airplanes and warships, Italy must also play several times.
What if the planes could really sink the battleship, that would not be taken lightly.
"What's on the fifth picture" Mussolini flipped through the fifth, and last, picture, which was not a weapon.
"I'll tell you about this," Val Tratnau said, taking over the topic with a smile, "this is my specialty, this is a hydroelectric turbine, a key piece of equipment for the construction of a hydropower plant."
At present, only the United States, Great Britain, France and we, Germany, have mastered this technology in the world. ” "Hydropower" Mussolini looked at Balbo.
The commander-in-chief of the Italian economy said: "We in Italy are very rich in water resources, more than Germany. ” "Oh, we finally have one more resource than Germany."
The Italian leader said in a self-deprecating tone.
Italy is a country with very poor natural resources, and the resources required for industrialization are very small.
This is also one of the reasons why Italy performed badly in the Second World War, the Italian leaders led the country into the war in a hurry, and the reserves of various raw materials were not done well, so after the start of the war, Italy's industrial production encountered great difficulties, and even the fleet was lying on its stomach every day because of the lack of fuel.
So Hersmann must now give the leader a golden finger, lest this Italy will still be a big burden by then.
"My leader, there is actually one more resource in Italy than in Germany.
"It's a very important strategic resource, which is bauxite. ” Bauxite in Europe is found on the northern shores of the Mediterranean, with Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy, France and Spain all abundant.
Germany's bauxite is basically imported, and a lot of it was obtained from Italy during World War II.
"My leader, you need aluminum to build airplanes."
Balbo reminded, "And to refine aluminum, electricity is used to smelt aluminium by electrolysis. ” "Electricity from hydroelectric power plants," Mussolini asked.
"Yes."
"It's very economical," Hirschman replied, "we can sell the equipment for the construction of the aluminium plant to Italy, of course, it's not included in the compensation, we don't owe you that much, but you can pay it back with aluminium and bauxite." ” The Italian leader and Balbo looked at each other, then focused on their heads.
"Okay, in principle, I agree, let the professionals be responsible for the specific conditions of cooperation."
Helping Italy build hydropower plants and aluminium plants is actually a very big "golden finger".
Because electricity and aluminum were very important resources in World War II, aluminum could be used to produce airplanes, and electricity was not only an important source of industrial power, but also a source of power for isotope separation to build the atomic bomb in the future.
Historically, the Manhattan Project in the United States consumed a lot of electricity.
If Italy could build a large number of hydropower stations before the war, it would be equivalent to increasing the power generation capacity of the entire Axis camp, although this power did not belong to Germany, but Italy could smelt aluminum for Germany, and possibly copper, so as to save Germany's power resources The first watch was presented first, and then Luo Luo begged for the first order and asked for a monthly pass.
