Looking at human history, turmoil often means the arrival of opportunities and the emergence of heroes.

It was heard that there was a turmoil in Italy after the war. People in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Soviet Russia, the United States, France and even faraway Japan all smelled the opportunity, but some were just ready to move, and some immediately took action.

When the paratroopers and assault troops recruited by Umberto from Italy arrived at the Roman airport, the situation in the capital had developed to a worse situation than the worst expected. The reason was that the French suddenly made a strife, which changed the direction of the entire Italy situation.

In fact, if the Italian paratroopers could arrive and control the Roman airport more than ten hours earlier, there would be no French here.

In this race against time, the first Frenchman named Roman Machacht was a Frenchman named Roman Machacht. He is 54 years old and has served in the French Army for 37 years. He was promoted to colonel nine years ago. He was on the spot due to his lack of sufficiently convincing military contributions. According to the French Army regulations, he should be transferred to the reserve service in a few months, so he will basically be out of reach for Jiangxing in this life.

Colonel Machach came to Italy at this critical moment, not only to take a risk to gain military achievements before retiring. He experienced World War I personally. As a scout, he once captured the German correspondents alone. As a blaster, he destroyed a German chariot in the Vichy defensive battle. He was one of the few heroes in the French army in that war. Between the two world wars, he entered military academies three times to further study, step by step from a low-level non-commissioned officer to the ranks of school officials, and became a well-known tactical expert in the army. Whether in training exercises or combat operations against anti-government armed forces, the troops he led were all

It has remarkable performance. After the end of World War II, Machahe began to study international politics and national strategies. His articles published in military publications attracted the attention of the upper class, and then he got the opportunity to go to the United States for military exchanges. He thus came into contact with a large amount of information about the US-Mexico War, the Spanish-American War and the US-Japan Pacific War, and had in-depth research and understanding of the modern US military expansion and war adventures. After returning to China, Machahe wrote and published the book "France Will Resurrection", which aroused strong response in the military and political circles. He therefore met many senior military and political figures, laying the groundwork for flying alone to Italy in the future.

When it comes to the relationship between France and Italy, we have to say that the two countries have had completely different rises and falls since the First World War. Since becoming a defeated country in World War I, France has been in decline for more than 30 years. In addition to not falling into a state of disintegration, it has almost experienced the worst situation that people can imagine, such as sovereignty, bullying, political chaos, economic decline, inflation, people's livelihood decline, social turmoil, revolutions broke out, gunpowders are everywhere, and wars are on the rise again... By the mid-1930s, when the French political situation stabilized again, various economic and social indicators had fallen to the level around 1900, which means that the French not only did not make progress, but were regressing for a full twenty years.

During World War II, France, with weak national strength, became the forward pedal for the Western Allies to attack Britain. The ports, airports and railway systems in northern France were forced to be used by German troops. Many important ports in western France were still controlled by Germany and were attacked by US and British fighter jets. Even though all the French were unintentionally involved in this war, France was still inevitably attacked by war, and hundreds of innocent civilians became victims of the war.

The two world wars completely changed the world pattern, and the emerging Germany finally replaced old empires such as Britain, the United States, France and Russia to become a new generation of "Empires that never set". After clearing the obstacles to dominating the world, the German rulers turned their strategic vision to the farther America and Asia. The inaction of the French thus got rid of the embarrassing situation of survival in the cracks, and their country entered a period of stable recovery for more than ten years. By 1948, France's economic and industrial scale finally exceeded the peak in 1913, and the total population also reversed from the U-shaped bottom to reach the level in 1910.

When the domestic situation was getting better, the French political circle learned from the pain and concluded the strategic development positioning of actively integrating into the camp of Western allies and striving to return to the ranks of strong countries. Under this positioning, they not only "responsible" to their former enemies, but also acted as a small follower in various international affairs and actively contributed their efforts, thus gaining the opportunity to rebuild military industry and reorganize their arms. On the other hand, the French tried their best to compete for the international trade market in agriculture, animal husbandry, light industry, metallurgy and other fields. For this reason, they regarded the Three Kingdoms Economic Alliance concluded by the Ireland-Spain-Australia-Hungary as the number one competitor, and actively won Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Italy to cooperate in groups.

After more than 30 years of political and economic changes, Belgium, the small European countries that were once prosperous in history have been deeply embedded in the German local economic circle, and have basically lost their independence in the field of industrial and economic trade. Only Italy is looking at Europe if you have the conditions to cooperate with the French and have the effect of "1+1>2". However, the Italians have always been immersed in the dream of "Mediterranean hegemony", and feel that weak and underdeveloped countries such as Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Saudi Arabia are worthy of their cooperation. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Spain, and these old powers are all direct competitors that need to be suppressed and excluded.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two world wars, Italy plundered many African colonies and several Mediterranean islands from France, so it has both psychological advantages and emotional guardians. It always feels that the French are interested in regaining these overseas territories. Faced with the olive branches offered by the French, the top Italian leaders were very cautious, and the more the French were the more they were, the more strange the Italian politicians felt. In recent years, although the economic and trade relations between the two countries have improved and some cooperation has been carried out, they have always lacked substantial results. After the Italians encountered a wall, the French tried to cooperate with the Soviet Union and the United States, but because of the lack of complementarity in technology and resources, they have never achieved the expected results.

In desperation, the French top leaders turned their attention back to the Italians. However, after several temptations, they finally realized that the current Italian government rejects cooperation with France in its bones, and therefore asserted that "unless an Italian government close to France appears, there will be no quasi-strategic cooperation between France and Italy."

Just when the French were at a loss, Italy was attacked by the New United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Germans were neutral on the surface, but behind it was the Italians who were slapping the Italians to death. Japan, a secret ally that made Italy profitable, could not quench its thirst at all. Seeing the Italian army being beaten to death by the coalition forces, the Italian top leaders were very happy to see the Italians scrambled like ants on the hot pan. They expected that the Italians would put away their arrogance after the war and carry out all-round cooperation with France. Therefore, they rejected the New Ireland and Austro-Hungarian Empire to win over and induce goodwill to Italy during the war.

As the war deepened, the Italians lost to their opponents without any surprise and signed a humiliating armistice treaty. Just as the French took the initiative to open their minds to the loser, turmoil broke out in Italy. First, people from all over the country held protests and signs of a large-scale anti-government operation. Then the army mutiny, royal members and government leaders fled from Rome in a hurry. Then anti-governmentists who claimed to be Italian republics occupied the royal palace and issued a telegram to the outside world to announce the establishment of a temporary government...

While most powerful governments were standing by, the French felt that this was an excellent opportunity to change their strategic situation. After learning that Italian anti-governmentists occupied the palace, Colonel Machach went non-stop to visit the French cabinet prime minister and the Minister of Defense. After receiving their support, he took an adjutant, an interpreter and a volunteer pilot to "stop" a German-style long-range reconnaissance aircraft full of fuel from the French Air Force, departed from the airport outside Paris and flew directly to the Italian capital Rome.

As for the situation at that time, this flight of less than 1,200 kilometers was full of uncertainties. Not to mention the harsh weather conditions that might be encountered when flying over the Alps and the trek that could occur without radio guidance, after entering Italian airspace, they were likely to be intercepted by the Italian Air Force. In the event of poor communication, they were expelled from the airspace at the least and shot down at the worst. Finally, even if the aircraft arrived in Rome without being blocked, they might face the dilemma of being unavailable at the airport, and the fuel of the aircraft could not support them from Italy to France in any case...

Even so, the adventurer Machach set out on the journey without hesitation. During the nearly three-hour voyage, he spent most of his time sitting in the passenger seat, holding an aviation album published 15 years ago, guiding the pilot to the unknown Italian capital Rome. In order to make it easier to identify the direction, after crossing the Alps, they flew to the seaside and then flew south along the coastline. During the flight, the radar wave detector on the plane almost kept ringing.

This means that they are under the monitoring of Italian ground radar stations at all times. Italian warships can be sent to intercept at any time. On the sea below the plane, Italian warships have appeared several times. Fortunately, this high-speed flying He--has not been attacked by the Italians in any form. Fortunately, when they flew to Rome, the runway of the Roman airport was empty, and there was no defense at several air defense positions around the airport.

Colonel Machahe was determined to let the driver land directly. After landing, they found that the Roman airport was in an uncontrolled and unguarded state. In order to connect with the anti-governmentists who occupied the palace, Machahe and his deputy found a truck from the warehouse and rushed to the palace according to the Roman tourist map...
