Like burning pasta (2)

When Italy invaded Ethiopia, the world situation was shaken again.

Ethiopia reported Italy to the League of Nations, but the League of Nations, which had long ago degenerated into an empty power, was unable to provide any help.

They only issue formal warnings and statements of condemnation.

Britain and France also condemned Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and declared that they would impose economic sanctions on Italy, but these were just words.

The United States, which had just begun to emerge from the recession through the New Deal, was also indifferent to Ethiopian affairs. The same was true for the Soviet Union and Japan,

"Italy's act of aggression is clearly a criminal act. "Germany strongly protests against this barbaric invasion of Italy and at the same time demands the immediate withdrawal of Italian troops."

I also jumped on the bandwagon and issued a statement condemning Italy.

Since I have no intention of provoking Italy any more than necessary right now, I was planning to stop at a formal protest for now.

Of course, that's only 'outwardly'.

"My Ethiopian friends will have to fight well."

"Since His Excellency the President has provided us with weapons and instructors, won't you fight hard?"

Goebbels' words. In fact, Goebbels did not seem to be very interested in Ethiopian affairs.

"By the way, Mr. President. There are rumors that the military may have been giving Ethiopia more than necessary."

Himmler said: I shook my head.

"They always do that. No matter what I do, there's nothing but complaints. "Didn't they just complain even before in the Rhineland?"

The military did not oppose my idea of providing weapons to Ethiopia, but complained that too much supplies had been distributed.

Although it was a bit much, I didn't think it was excessive enough to warrant comment.

In particular, Beck openly talked behind my back, saying that giving weapons to black niggers was like throwing money down the toilet.

This old man has a knack for making people angry.

Feel free to talk as much as you want. One day, I will make you scream for help from your mouths.

It is said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late even after 10 years, so we must endure it now.

I soothed my stomach with a coke so cold it made my teeth hurt and focused on making plans for the future.

For some time now, Italy will not have the energy to care about anything other than Ethiopia.

While they're preoccupied with Ethiopia, we've got to do our thing.

"The enemies are coming!"

Upon hearing that the Italian army was coming, the Ethiopian soldiers who had been scattered and resting hurriedly entered the trenches.

"Everyone ready for battle!"

The rifle used by Ethiopian soldiers is the Gew98, which was used by the German army during World War I, and was stored in a warehouse as a spare and sent to Ethiopia by Hitler's order.

"When I give the signal, you shoot! "I will kill those who shoot before then with my own hands!"

When Sergeant Josef Gangl of the German Wehrmacht shouted, his interpreter translated into Ethiopian and shouted:

Gangl, one of the German military advisors dispatched to assist the Ethiopian army, wore an Ethiopian army uniform instead of a German Wehrmacht uniform to fool the Italians.

Additionally, if captured, he was instructed by his superiors to state that he was an Austrian mercenary hired by the Ethiopian government.

Before leaving for Ethiopia, Gangul met with the President and shook hands.

The President shook hands with each of the advisors leaving for Ethiopia and wished them good luck.

'It's embarrassing that I sent him to death with my own hands and told him not to die. As a leader, I have nothing to say. Still, I hope everyone will fight hard.'

'I will keep this in mind, Mr. President!'

Gangul put his finger on the trigger of the MP28 submachine gun. Before we knew it, the Italian army was close to the range.

"Start shooting!"

When Gangul's signal was given, sparks flew out from all 60 guns.

The Italian soldiers, who had been walking leisurely as if taking a walk, became confused when the Ethiopian army's attack began.

Even the officers who were supposed to calm the soldiers and give orders were busy running away.

Those pathetic bastards. Even so, they are descendants of Rome.

"Cavemen would fight better, you incompetent bastards!"

Gangul skillfully changed magazines with one hand. The precious MG08 machine guns, one mounted in each company, also fired heavily and knocked down the Italian troops.

The weapons that had been firing against British and French troops in the mud of Belgium 20 years ago were now firing against Italian troops in the fields of Africa.

"It's a tank! "It's a tank!"

When the Italian army's L3 tankette appeared, the Ethiopian army all shouted for tanks.

Although it was categorized as a tank, in terms of performance alone, it was a tankette that was at a level that would be embarrassing to call it a tank. However, the Italian army, which did not have proper armored vehicles, was rolling them out in large quantities.

Before the Breda M30 machine gun mounted on L3 opened fire, the Ethiopian army's Tankgebeer opened fire first. This was also Germany's support to the Ethiopian army.

The L3's armor, which was only 12mm at its thickest point, was pierced like a sheet of paper.

L3 stopped moving after being repeatedly hit by Tankgewehr's 13.2mm bullets.

The tank soldiers on board the vehicle ended their lives as miserable corpses with their limbs separated.

"good job! "Keep shooting!"

Gangul's words were drowned out by the noise of the battlefield, but the Ethiopian soldiers carried out their mission in silence. Another L3 was pierced through the front and was rendered incapable of combat.

Like other Europeans, Gangul initially disliked the fact that he had to command inferior black people.

Although I came to Ethiopia because of the President's order, I did not have much expectations about how well they would follow the training.

But now my thoughts have changed a bit. Considering the lack of training days, the Ethiopian army was fighting much better than expected.

The Italian army, which suffered significant damage from the fierce resistance of the Ethiopian army, requested support from the main unit.

After a while, the Italian army hurriedly retreated, leaving behind the dead and the wreckage of the destroyed vehicles.

The Ethiopian army, confident of victory, shouted hurray. However, before the shouts of national independence could end, the Italian army's shells fell.

The shells dropped by the Italian army were different from existing shells. There was no explosion, and instead yellow gas came out.

"Damn it, it's poison gas!"

Ganggeul, who realized the identity of the shell, cursed and hurriedly took out a gas mask.

"Everyone wear gas masks!"

A German-made gas mask saved the life of an Ethiopian soldier. Without the gas masks, they would have been wiped out. Gangul got goosebumps.

20 minutes later, the Italian army attacked again. However, what was waiting for them was not the corpses of the Ethiopian soldiers, but the Ethiopian army's bullets.

"what? "They're not dead yet!?"

"Fuck, those bastards are wearing gas masks too! "Look!"

The screams of Italian soldiers rang out under a hail of bullets.

"I can't believe it. "How could this happen…"

Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, governor of Italian Somaliland and commander-in-chief of the Italian forces in southeastern Ethiopia, was sweating profusely after receiving the report on the war situation.

Uncivilized blacks repeatedly repel attacks by the Italian army, descendants of Rome.

Even a poison gas attack did not have much effect because the Ethiopian army also had gas masks. Graziani became angry and hit the table.

"How do those niggers even have gas masks?!"

The question was soon resolved. This is because Italian troops who were searching for the fallen Ethiopian troops captured the gas masks used by the Ethiopian troops and placed them in front of him.

"This is neither the British nor the French system."

A chemical warfare officer said after examining the captured gas mask.

"Then what?"

"It looks like it's made in Germany, Your Excellency."

"Made in Germany? "Why are they using German-made gas masks?"

"I'm not sure about that either."

It was obvious. In the first place, how could an officer know something that even the enemy didn't know?

There was something else suspicious. Among the weapons captured from the Ethiopian army, a particularly large proportion were German-made weapons.

From German-made rifles to grenades, machine guns, and gas masks. All of this evidence pointed to only one thing.

"It's clearly the work of the Germans."

"Yes, Your Excellency. "It's clear what they did."

"I will quickly inform the home country."

Graziani was dumbfounded. No matter how much Germany doesn't get along with Italy, they support niggers to fuck us. Are you saying they aren't even white?

General Emilio de Bono, Commander-in-Chief of the Eritrean Army, also sent a similar report to his home country.

They say the Ethiopian army is using German-made weapons and gas masks.

***

"Mr. President, a letter of protest has arrived from Italy..."

"It's probably because we provided weapons to Ethiopia. "I'll cover it up appropriately."

As expected, Mussolini protested against the Ethiopian army's use of German-made weapons. Our strategy for this was 'stick out your flippers'.

It is true that the equipment being used by the Ethiopian military is German-made, but it has nothing to do with Germany since Ethiopia first expressed its intention to purchase it and sold it at the full price.

"Will Italians believe it?"

"What if I don't believe it? Even if we openly sell weapons, they can't do anything. Unless you plan on going to war. "Just leave it alone."

"Well, I see. "I understand, Mr. President."

Goebbels was relieved when he heard my answer, as if he had just had a blast.

"No matter what the pasta guys do in Ethiopia, we just have to do our own thing. "Have you received a reply from Dolphus?"

"yes. "I am pleased with His Excellency the President's proposal and would like to meet him as soon as possible."

"Good, very good."

According to history, Engelbert Dollfuss, Austria's chancellor and aspiring dictator, should have been assassinated on July 25, 1934.

Those who assassinated Dollfuss were none other than members of the Austrian Nazi Party. They assassinated Dollfuss out of dissatisfaction with Dollfuss, who was negative about the merger of Germany and Austria and outlawed the activities of the Nazi Party.

But now in history, he is still alive. This is because, as Führer, I instructed the Austrian Nazi Party members to fully cooperate with the Austrian government's orders, and they faithfully followed my orders.

Thanks to this, Dollfuss was not assassinated, and his relationship with the Nazi Party was amicable.

I proposed

to him a summit to discuss cooperation between Germany and Austria, and Dollfuss also responded positively.

At this meeting, we plan to have very frank and sound conversations.

Things are going smoothly as planned.
