In 1939, Germany kicked off World War II, with Italy and Japan joining the Axis powers.
The Italian army added a lot of laughter to this protracted and brutal war due to its unreliable and arbitrary characteristics.
First, I have cast this down!
In 1941, when the British and Germans were fighting for the initiative in the North African battlefield, the British decided to take the weak Italian army first.
During this period, the Italian elite Progocy Panzer Division resolutely gave up resistance and proposed surrender to the British 22nd Panzer Brigade, thinking that I surrendered an armored division to an armored brigade of your British army, which was sincere enough. However, the British army was now facing logistical difficulties in supplying and could not feed the Italian soldiers who were about to surrender, so they executed the messengers who would surrender in the future to show their determination not to accept the surrender.
The Italian army is not happy this time, I am full of sincerity to surrender to you, you do not give face? So the Italian army united in will, and the amazing combat effectiveness broke out, and I surrendered this!
In the end, the powerful British army was successfully defeated by a one-to-two loss. This is not the end, in the situation of the British army abandoning its armor and fleeing into the wilderness, the Italian army is furiously catching up with the British army and asking the British army to accept its surrender! The British army was also blinded by this wave of divine operations of the Italian army, helpless to fight and lose, no way, with tears accepted the surrender of the Italian army.
Second, the people take food as heaven
The German fuehrer xi someone once asked the Italian prime minister Mo someone about improving the army equipment and improving the concept of combat, and someone in Mexico replied: Improving food is the most important!
The Italian army has implemented the leader's concept of governing the army very well. First, Italy's army food purchases are far ahead of other countries. In addition, during the war, as long as the Italian army was hungry, it did not care to start cooking their favorite macaroni, which missed many fighters.
Third, the war is unceasing, and the surrender is not stopped
Still in the North African theater of 1941, a British tank force of only 400 people accidentally broke into the Italian anti-tank unit, and just when the British commander was ready to surrender, the Italian army surrendered first.
The British army was stunned, was it deceitful? Unexpectedly, the Italian army said that they forgot to bring a crowbar, and they could not open the ammunition box!
An American soldier landed in the Italian army unexpectedly. Just as the American soldier was ready to accept his fate, an Italian commander excitedly stepped forward and shook his hand and expressed his willingness to surrender. In this way, a soldier of the United States successfully captured a thousand Italian soldiers.
Fourth, Buddhist soldiers who are satisfied with the status quo
After the British captured an Italian army, due to the need to clear the battlefield, they did not have time to take care of the Italian army, and they were exhausted. The Italians were embarrassed to sit idle and eat the people's macaroni powder, so they sensibly built a prisoner camp and locked themselves up.
Over time, everyone knew the Buddhist style of the Italian army, so it was inevitable to relax the guarding of the Italian prisoners. But the Italian soldiers are not casual people, even in the prisoner camp, do not forget the original intention, good food is always their highest pursuit.
No, an Italian army dug a hundred meters of tunnels and fled to the next camp of prisoners, only to find that the camp did not have macaroni and returned to its own camp disappointed. The guards were also generous and said that they would definitely provide macaroni in the future, so the Italian army was satisfied to stay in the prisoner camp and not escape. It's really a bunch of principled little cuties!
Fifth, repeated battles and defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles
Italy suffers from its small size, so it has always wanted to grab a larger territory. During World War II, after the failed attack on France and the successive failures to capture weak Greece, Italy felt that it could not continue to mix in Europe, so it refocused its spearhead on Ethiopia in Africa. As a result, Italy almost had another accident unsurprisingly!
Italy encountered stubborn resistance in Ethiopia and eventually used poison gas in violation of international conventions to gain the upper hand and win the Ethiopian land.
The desire to expand the territory was finally fulfilled, and new problems were encountered. In a barren and backward land like Ethiopia, development must be achieved in order to reap the benefits, but the cost of development is far greater than the expenditure of the military. Italy is already empty of national power, and it really can't afford to invest more money in Ethiopia. As a result, Ethiopia has become a chicken rib that Italy has spent a lot of money on.
Sixth, I beat myself up fiercely
On June 28, 1940, an Italian warship docked in Libya was bombed by more than a dozen British aircraft, and the Italians were beaten to the point of dizziness. Fortunately, the British planes quickly left, and just as the Italian soldiers were gasping for breath, two more planes flew in the distance, and a recruit named Mazzola felt that the opportunities of life were fleeting and that he had to seize the opportunity to perform, so he firmly controlled the anti-aircraft guns and fired hard.
The chosen son successfully landed an airplane and felt that his life had reached its climax. Unexpectedly, after an after-the-fact investigation, the plane sat on the aircraft to inspect its own Air Marshal Balbo.
Speaking of Marshal Balbo, he is a legend in the history of the Italian Air Force, who single-handedly built the Italian Air Force into a force that was close to Britain and Germany. It's just that people are unlucky enough to drink cold water and plug their teeth, and this Marshal Balbo may not have expected until his death that he was heroic and would end up in the hands of his own people.
In fact, the Italian army made so many jokes on the battlefield not because the Italian army was weak, but from the beginning of the First World War, Italy has been fighting for many years, the national strength is empty, and the domestic liberation movement is also in full swing, and the people and the army are generally war-weary. Under such circumstances, it would be very unwise for Italy to launch a war of aggression against the outside world, but only the will of some people, such as Someone in Mexico.
Just as most people in the world still long for peace, the conspiracy to wage an unjust war will eventually be dismantled!
