Although, the crown prince Wu Pengfei is now thirty-two years old. But the so-called mother of the so-called son Xingqianli is worried that this time she will go to Germany, which is thousands of miles away. This undoubtedly made Queen Ma Jiahui even more worried. Even Wu Haoxuan was a little worried in his heart. However, he pressed it in his heart and didn't show it. He knew very well that Wu Pengfei was a person who wanted to inherit the entire empire, and the doting of one was not a good thing for himself and the entire empire. Empires need a wise monarch, not a flower that grows in a greenhouse.

Gu Shaochuan, the Imperial Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, was old and serious, and he accompanied Wu Peng to Germany, and he was not afraid of repeating the trap of the Führer and Mussolini. What's more, Wu Pengfei's visit to Germany on behalf of Wu Haoxuan this time was more of a statement. The real specifics are still the responsibility of the diplomats.

As for the means of transport to Germany, it was originally planned to take a warship. However, it took too long to travel to Germany on a warship, and it was not easy to keep it secret. Wu Haoxuan finally overrode public opinion and let Wu Pengfei and others take a transport plane converted from the H9 heavy bomber of the Imperial Air Force. At the speed of the H9 heavy bomber, it only takes two days at most to get from the Reich to Germany, plus the time to refuel halfway, which is more than ten or twenty times faster than taking a warship to Germany.

As for security, now that the empire has begun to survive in large quantities H9 bombers, the security stability is already very high. Of course, if there are no hidden dangers at all, it is undoubtedly impossible. However, as long as it is not attacked from outside, the probability of an accident is very low. In addition, the Reich was too far away from Germany, and it had to pass through the airspace of a large number of other countries, some of which were hostile countries. So, the transport line, which was converted from the H9 heavy bomber, was specially modified. In some key parts of the armor was added. In addition, because you don't have to carry bombs, you can carry more fuel. As a result, the maximum range of this transportation line soared from 3,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers. Take off from the base of the Kingdom of Iraq, a vassal state of the empire, and fly to the Kingdom of Italy and even Germany without refueling. In addition, the aircraft flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters throughout the whole process, and the possibility of being discovered by enemy forces was very low, and the possibility of being hunted was also very small. With the current strength of the Chinese Empire, it is believed that no country would dare to risk the threat of war with the Chinese Empire and hunt down the heir to the throne of the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor of China, who was furious, would surely destroy their country completely.

On January 3, 4636, the imperial crown prince Wu Pengfei and the vice minister of foreign affairs Gu Shaochuan took the Y9 transport plane from Yanjing and officially headed for Germany. For both of them, they were both flying for the first time, and it was full of freshness.

However, after the plane takes off, it is replaced by boring and tedious. Wu Pengfei and Gu Shaochuan had to start chatting. The content of the chat is this trip to Germany.

At noon on January 4, the Imperial Air Force Y9 transport plane landed at an air base in the northern part of the Kingdom of Italy. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Count Ciano, has long been waiting at the base. The crown prince of the Chinese Empire traveled to Germany via the Kingdom of Italy, which is worthy of attention for the Kingdom of Italy. What's more, they are about to form an alliance and become their closest allies. The Kingdom of Italy was honored to be an ally of the Chinese Empire. After all, the current Chinese Empire is the number one power in the world.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, welcome to Italy." Count Ziano smiled. Although he was Mussolini's son-in-law, he was still very self-aware to restrain his arrogance in front of the Chinese crown prince. What's more, the huge transport plane of the Chinese Empire also brought him a great shock when it landed. After all, such a huge aircraft, at least the Kingdom of Italy could not have been built. Even the Germans probably can't make it.

"Your Excellency, you are so gracious. This time, we should have bothered. Crown Prince Wu Pengfei said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Excellency the Leader is already waiting in Milan." Count Ziano said.

Mussolini also attached great importance to the visit of the crown prince of the Chinese Empire. Of the three countries that are about to form an alliance, only Italy is the weakest. Mussolini hoped that more benefits would be available to the Chinese. For example, the Germans obtained a large number of advanced weapons from Sino-German cooperation. Italy also wants to join in. In the previous Italian invasion of Ethiopia, although Italy was victorious, it occupied the whole of Ethiopia. However, the casualties of the Italian army were not small. At the same time, it has been attacked by Ethiopian guerrillas, which has made Italy miserable.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Count." Wu Pengfei nodded, passing through Italy and visiting Mussolini, which was also in the previous plan. Italy's military strength is a bit tricky, but their geographical location is too good. In the Mediterranean, it has a great influence. If Italy can make friends with the Empire, it will be very helpful for the Empire to maintain its interests in the Mediterranean in the future.

The group drove to a manor house on the outskirts of Milan, where Mussolini was located. While the convoy was still on the way, Mussolini was already listening to his men's reports.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese crown prince arrived in Milan on a large transport plane. It is said that the transport plane took off directly from the Kingdom of Iraq. According to conservative estimates, the range of this transport aircraft is also more than four thousand kilometers. The subordinate said.

"A large voyage of 4,000 kilometers? The advantage of the Chinese in aviation is too great. Mussolini sighed.

"Your Excellency, according to the information we have received, the new generation of fighters and bombers jointly developed by the Germans and Chinese are very good. At least much more advanced than our own fighters and bombers. The Air Force suggested that it would be better for us to be able to equip this type of fighter with this type of aircraft, which would help us gain air superiority over the entire Mediterranean. The general of the Air Force suggested.

Mussolini nodded, and he didn't look down on the planes they designed and built themselves. The performance of the aircraft jointly developed by China and Germany is significantly much ahead of their own. If Italy were not equipped with this type of aircraft, they would definitely suffer in future battles. If the military does not perform well, Italy will certainly have less to gain in the future world structure. In this case, it is undoubtedly a great loss.

"Later, I will talk to the Chinese, hoping that they can transfer these technologies to us." Mussolini said.

"Your Excellency, the tank jointly developed by the Chinese and the Germans is also very good. We need to be equipped with such advanced weapons. The army general also said.

"Okay." Mussolini nodded helplessly. He felt that he was so humiliated that whether it was the weapons of the Air Force or the Army, he had to turn to the Chinese for help. The only thing that does not have to turn to the Chinese is probably the navy. Of course, the strength of the Italian navy is not that strong. In front of the Chinese Navy, it is still scum. It's just that in the small pond of the Mediterranean, it's barely enough.

Soon, the imperial crown prince Wu Pengfei and the vice minister of foreign affairs Gu Shaochuan arrived at Mussolini's estate. Mussolini personally went to the door to greet Wu Wu Pengfei's arrival.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Excellency the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, welcome to Italy." Mussolini had a smile on his face. The founder of fascism now seems so amiable.

"Hello, Your Excellency, it is a great honour to be here in Italy." Wu Pengfei looked very humble.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm tired from the journey, please, I've already had lunch ready." Mussolini graciously invited.

The group arrived at the restaurant, and on the long table, the steaming Italian food was already arranged. Italians still have a lot of talent when it comes to food. Of course, if they can transfer these talents to the military side, it is undoubtedly the best.

Under the warm hospitality of the Italians, Wu Pengfei and Gu Shaochuan, who were tired all the way, began to enjoy the food.

After a full meal, the group moved to the garden, where the waiter served coffee. In addition to the guards guarding the surrounding area, only Wu Pengfei, Gu Shaochuan, Mussolini and Count Ziano were left in the garden.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this time we have formed an alliance with the three countries, which is also what I meant. In today's world, the interests of our three countries are the same. Therefore, we should form an alliance against those Western powers. Mussolini said.

"Your Excellency, of course. The Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, as well as the Third German Reich, were close allies. We will support each other's interests. His Majesty the Emperor has always believed that Italy is a great country and that you should recreate the glory of the Roman Empire. The entire Mediterranean should become Italy's sphere of influence. Wu Pengfei said.

Sure enough, Mussolini was so overjoyed that even the most powerful country in the world, such as the Chinese Empire, tacitly accepted the Mediterranean Sea as a sphere of influence for the Kingdom of Italy. This undoubtedly means, then, that Italy's interests can be easily realized. You must know that recreating the glory of the Roman Empire was originally Mussolini's lifelong pursuit.
