Eisenhower felt extremely happy, and Alexander suffered a loss. .

More importantly, Eisenhower's move made Britain lose trust... He was clearly discussing the specific time of the uprising with Italy in the telegram, and promised Italy to keep the matter confidential so that the Italian army can prepare, but now he suddenly announced it to the whole world.

So Alexander soon received a telegram from Italy: "Is this your sincerity and wit? Make our plan public to the whole world?"

"No, no..." Alexander hurriedly explained: "It was announced by the Americans, not us!"

But Alexander's explanation was obviously pale because whether it was American or British, they were all Allied forces... The Italians just ignored whether the Allied forces leaked the news and then took the account to the British.

However, even so, the Italians can't do anything. It can even be said that... they are now at their end, because the Italian army seems to have no way out at this time.

The situation between De and Italy is not an exaggeration to describe it as the saying "one stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves".

The German army quickly took action, and two airborne divisions surrounded Rome as fast as possible... They could only do this. The airborne troops could not carry out airborne at night, so the two airborne divisions could only control the Italian administrative center nearby. Anyway, the Italian government and senior officials were here.

Then Keselin immediately asked to meet with Italian Prime Minister Bardoglio.

Bardoglio was almost frightened, but he finally calmed down because he realized that if he wanted to survive at this time, he would have to gain the trust of the Germans.

In fact, it was not only Badoglio who was worried, but Kesseling also went up and down... You should know that the German army had only two airborne divisions in a few hundred kilometers in central Italy, and the others were some logistics troops and troops that maintained order. If Italy attacked at this time, it would not be a good thing for the German army.

Then, Bardoglio stood in front of Kesselin.

"General!" Badouglio was confident. Without waiting for Keselin to ask, he took the initiative to say: "I know why you came, it must be a rumor about our surrender!"

"Rumor?" Keselin looked at Bardoglio, his eyes shining with a cold light.

"Yes, of course!" Bardoglio replied: "Please, this is just a trick played by the Allies. If we have negotiated with them to surrender as they said in their propaganda...will they still tell them all on the radio?"

Kesseling still believed this because he didn't understand why the Allies made the news public, which would only prepare the Germans, right?!

"So!" Bardoglio spread his hands: "This proves that we are innocent. In fact... Italy is our motherland, and we will do everything we can to protect our country from foreign enemies!"

Then Badoglio was a lot of things, talking about the issue of the upcoming battle between the Italian and the Allied forces. Among them, they even talked about the details of the joint combat between the Italian and German forces... These details are the most important, and it almost made Kesselin believe that the Italian army was really going to fight against the Allied forces, otherwise the Italians would not have thought of these details.

What Keselin didn't know was that these details were exactly what Bardoglio used to increase the credibility of lies. If the Italians had the combat effectiveness as good as their acting skills, they would not have fallen to this point.

At this time, Kesseling did not dare to act rashly, because the German army was alone at this time, and once there was a direct conflict with the Italian army... no one knew what the consequences would be.

So after thinking for a long time, Keselin chose to believe in Bardoglio for the time being.

Of course, this is only "temporary".

But soon Keselin regretted it because Bardoglio took advantage of this "temporary" and escaped...

The Italian army's surrender soon became a reality.

This is not something that the German army can control, or even the Italian government can control.

The reason is that many people in the Italian people and the army tend to surrender and join the Allied forces. This tendency can even be said to have begun in the battles in Africa, and now it has developed to its peak.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Italians' enthusiasm for surrender is like magma under a volcano, which will erupt at any time... And what Eisenhower said to the reporter undoubtedly ignited this fuse.

Many Italian officers cheered after hearing the news: "Our government has finally done one thing right!"

So regardless of whether the superiors had orders or not, he could not wait to announce the goal of drawing a clear line with the German army with his subordinates.

If there is one person, there will be another person, and soon Italy will burn a raging "revolutionary" fire.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Kesselin immediately ordered a surprise attack to capture the Italian Army headquarters and government.

This decision was of course correct, because there was a big gap in military strength between the German army and the Italian army, so they could only choose to capture the thief and capture the king first.

But it was too late.

Although they successfully captured 30 generals and 150 officers, the others had already fled... The escaped people included the king, the prime minister, the chief of staff, etc.

They were not sure where they were going, and they could command troops anywhere, and this place was Italy, and the poorly few German troops could not find them at all.

As a result, the situation was out of control and the German army was soon attacked by Italian troops from all directions.

But this is just an attack... The Italian army is fully capable of eating these two German airborne divisions, and then cooperate with the Allied forces to attack Kesering's Group A Army from the rear, so that it will undoubtedly annihilate Kesering's troops.

However, with the urinary nature of the Italian army, they would only hide in the dark and shoot cold guns or fire a few shots at the German defense line... and even as long as the German army does not come to attack, they would not fight back. The Italian army hopes to stick to it until the arrival of the Allies.

But even so, it can be said to be a huge change for the Germans on the southern defense line, because their destiny is no longer in their own hands. As long as the Italians are willing, or just a little courage, they can be wiped out on this land.
