Standing on the viewing platform, President Roosevelt glanced at the crowds on both sides of the street and frowned slightly.
The two sides of the Champs Elysees, which is 1,800 meters long and 120 meters wide, are now completely filled with people.
A large number of Hans and Gauls crowded both sides of the street.
It is normal for the Hans to come to visit this military parade, and Roosevelt does not think there is anything wrong with it.
Although it is a bit exaggerated that more than two million people came at once, this victory is of great significance to the Hans, so it is understandable that they pay special attention to and care about it.
But what’s going on with the Gauls?
The invaders held a victory parade on their own land, and the invaded Gauls actually celebrated this victory with these invaders with peace of mind. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe it!
At this moment, this magical realism scene actually happened in front of him, which made President Roosevelt begin to doubt his life!
What happened to this world?
Was he abnormal, or was there something wrong with this world?
……
Mainz was not with Roosevelt. Although he placed him in the VIP seat, he did not talk to him.
Compared with entertaining President Roosevelt, Mainz had more other guests to entertain.
Hans’s war with Gaul was a nuclear bomb-level event in Europe, so all European countries paid close attention to this war.
After learning that Hans had won the war, European countries all showed goodwill to Hans and tried to improve relations with Hans so as not to become Hans’ next target!
And Mainz also intended to knock these small countries, so he invited more than a dozen countries in one breath, almost inviting all European countries. The invited countries include the southern European country of pressed duck and the country of grapes, the fairy tale country and the three Nordic countries, the three Baltic countries, the Balkan Peninsula’s Yugoslavia, the country of Alba, Bulgaria and Romania.
In addition, there are Hans’s protectorates Bohemia and Hungary.
These countries are all small countries, and many of them were frightened by Hans’s victory over Gaul in the war. So after receiving Hans’ invitation, they did not dare to refuse at all. They immediately sent representatives to the Iron Tower City to prepare for the military parade.
In order to show their importance, many countries, even kings or prime ministers, personally came to Mainz to pay their respects and hold Hans’ thighs as soon as possible to avoid being invaded by Hans in the future. In addition to these countries, the remaining major countries in Europe, such as the Russian Bear, Italy, and the native chickens in West Asia, were also invited by Hans.
After receiving the invitation, these countries were opposed. The Russian Bear did not send senior officials, but only appointed Yarkov as a representative to attend the military parade.
Italy attached great importance to this. Mussolini was frightened by Hans’s powerful strength, and at the same time, he couldn’t help wanting to steal from Hans and then go back to build a strong army.
A few years ago, they launched an invasion of Alba, but lost under the interference of the British Empire and Gaul.
The disastrous defeat made Mussolini look ridiculous in Italy and he lost face, which made him feel bad all the time.
At this time, Gaul had been defeated by Hans, so his revenge was halfway taken. As long as the British Empire was defeated, his revenge would be complete! Even though the British Empire had not been defeated yet, the Italians began to get excited when they thought that the British Empire might not have time to protect the countries in the Balkan Peninsula due to the powerful military threat from Hans!
They wanted to seize this great opportunity to invade the Balkan Peninsula, and to defeat Alba, Sina, and Yugoslavia, which they had not been able to defeat before, and to annex them, and then recreate the glory of the Roman Empire!
However, although these countries were not as strong as Italy, and there was no British Empire and Gaul to support them behind them at this time, after testing their strength, the Italians found that it would be difficult to defeat these countries with the current combat effectiveness of the Italian army!
Especially Yugoslavia, which is the most powerful country in the Balkan Peninsula in terms of area and strength, and it is also a huge obstacle standing in front of Italy.
If this country cannot be eliminated, then Italy can only invade the Balkan Peninsula by means of a sea attack, which is too inefficient and risky.
After all, the last Mediterranean War caused heavy losses to the Italian navy, and several battleships were sunk. They have not recovered yet.
Although the British Empire is facing huge pressure from Hans and cannot send the army to assist these countries in resisting the invasion, it is absolutely impossible for the British Empire to give up control of the Mediterranean!
The Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean are of vital importance to them. In order to ensure the safety of these two strategic routes, the British Empire has always maintained a large-scale naval force in the Mediterranean.
Therefore, the risk of Italy attacking from the sea is very high, and the safest way is to attack from land.
If it attacks from land, it is necessary to transform Italy’s weak army.
Although Mussolini himself was an army officer, he couldn’t understand why the Italian army was so weak that it couldn’t even beat the army of Yugoslavia!
This problem has troubled him for several years. If it is not solved, then his ambition can only stay in his mind and cannot be implemented!
Fortunately, the German army came out at this time and almost pushed several countries around it in a way that swept across Europe.
If the war they attacked Poland and invaded Czech before was just a war of bullying the weak and killing chickens with a butcher knife, so it was not worth mentioning, then this time they used fewer troops, facing the powerful combination of the two major powers of the sun and Gaul, and they could actually cleanly kill the coalition forces of the two countries!
This opened the eyes of the Italians!
They began to realize that the German army was really powerful!
After listening to his subordinates’ analysis of the war on how the German army quickly defeated Gaul, Mussolini’s eyes immediately straightened!
He wanted to exchange positions with Mainz and become the president of Hans. In this way, he could command this invincible army to conquer the world!
But of course, these were only fantasies and impossible to achieve!
So he had to settle for the second best. Since he couldn’t turn himself into Mainz, he had to at least let his army learn from the German army and become closer to the German army. In this way, their combat effectiveness would be greatly improved. By then, it would be easy to deal with Yugoslavia and other small countries.
Moreover, Italy also took a fancy to Hans’ shipbuilding industry. They took a fancy to the German Bismarck-class battleships. If the Italian navy could be equipped with such battleships, then the situation like the Mediterranean naval battle where several of their battleships were chased by a Hood battleship of the sun that never sets would definitely not happen!
