When Germany mentions the European Front, Italy was at first confused. Did Germany plan to lose on that front? Was Joint Pact power that strong? Germany had to be bluffing, at this point no side was winning the war, right? The second Germany said "numbers" Italy immediately lost interest, it had been a terrible day and he didn't need or want to think about numbers. "What am I talking about? Your plan is great! Lets to that!" Well, the meeting was in reality quite a formality, the Germany may as well have said: "You are going to do things my vay... the Germany vay." Instead, they wasted time making it look like Italy had a choice to pick strategies when in fact it was all directed from Germany.
Italy didn't really mind to be told what to do, but he would have preferred to do it if it there was a more fun way to have meetings. Now, instead of listening to the meeting he was already starting to think of what he was going to eat... Drinking was definitely going to happen, whether if it will be a lot or not is the question. If Germany planned to do something with Italy or training was to happen immediately after, he was probably going to get drunk. Then again, the German could just follow him and stop him consuming alcohol. His friend (unfortunately) was very capable of this, Italy would then probably would be crying himself to sleep due to the terrible conditions of war.
Standing up suddenly, after agreeing to Germany's plan, Italy went to ask if the meeting was done. In the Italian's eyes however, one could see he was begging to get out of the meeting. If yes, he was going to run out and go back to his quarters, if no, he was going to sleep. "Is the meeting over now Germany? Please tell me it's over."

Of course Germany isn't planning on losing the European Front - only a fool would plan to lose - but the grim reality is that losing is a very real possibility. They're in a stalemate right now, and who knows what will end up tipping the balance? That's why they need to do things like this that will hopefully make it tip in their favor. The problem is that their enemy is likely attempting to do the same.
And that urgency is a part of the reason why he's being so quickly dismissive of Italy's own strategy - now is not the time to make mistakes. The other part of the reason is because Germany feels that Italy had plenty of time to implement his own plans, and what did they get? A static war. Italy has already had more than enough opportunity to command this front as he will - now it's someone else's turn. If Italy had thought that they were having this meeting so that they could pick a strategy, he was mistaken - the purpose of this meeting was to inform him what the strategy was. Not that Germany isn't willing to listen and wouldn't have pay attention to genuinely useful feedback on the plan, but he's not prepared to entertain the idea that it needs to be scaled back in any way.
Which isn't to say that it doesn't bother him the way that Italy just gives up, mostly because he's suspicious that his friend still doesn't agree with the plan - it could cause problems later if he objects to the whole premise of the operation in the middle of it. Then again, he only has the ability to force the Italian to comply, not actually change his mind if he's dead set on it. It also displeases him that he's so immediately being asked if the meeting is over. "It is almost over," he responds, which means that Italy is not officially dismissed yet. Having said that, he turns his attention more toward Italy's generals, "Are there any more questions?"

Germany's suspicions turned out to be true, Italy was still not satisfied with the plan at all. However at this point the Italian didn't even care, he just wanted to play football or something at this point of the meeting. In fact why was he even here? If Germany was the one who would call the shots, why should he be needed to supervise the war effort here? It just... didn't make sense! Would he be more useful in Italy itself or the Middle East? He would practically be doing the same thing anyway. Nevertheless, here he was listening to the Germans drone on about military tactics and war plans, to be honest it was all really boring, Italy didn't remember Germany being this uptight before! Then again it was war time, Italy himself felt the strain of war, although he wasn't seriously affected it did make him feel a bit dizzy sometimes.
Germany started to then talk to his generals, they at first looked at Italy, as if fearful that the Italian would get angry, however they later realized that the anger of the Germans would be much worse. "We see no problem with the plan, generale. These goals are perfectly achievable and I believe it is the best way to conduct the operation. It is better to catch the enemy off guard now. Our only questions will be the date of commencement, along with how long you require the operation's length of time? We can make sure Generale Vargas will go along with this plan, especially when our prime minister is notified."
While Italy was a little annoyed, he didn't bother to protest with what one of his generals had said. in fact he was face down on the table ready for dismissal, (while praying that their would be no training after this meeting). Italy was more than happy for his generals to talk tactics with Germany and the Germans while he slept.

When at least Italy's generals are sounding more compliant than Italy himself, Germany finds some of his worries about their participation ease up a little. But only a little - while it's possible for a human to go against the wishes of their nation, the sheer amount of influence that a nation has is quite powerful at times so it's not something that he can count on. Unless and until he can get Italy to fully agree with him there will be a strong risk for mutiny, though he can hope that once everyone gets more used to the idea it won't be as much of a risk.
Until then, though, he'll need to keep a really close eye on Italy.
"Tomorrov," he answers, "I think that ve start packing up immediately ve can be on the move by tomorrov afternoon. No, ve are not in a particular rush, but people are dying in the var as ve speak - ve have no reason to delay either." Which may not seem like very much time, but this is an army, after all - if he was working with Germans he'd expect them to be able to get on the move within hours of receiving orders, even if he was moving a camp that had settled into a place for a long time. But since he's dealing with Italians he figures that a full day would be a more realistic timeframe.
"As for the length of the operation, it greatly depends upon hov our enemies react to our offensive. Ve vill continue forvard until they manage to stop us or until the var ends," he states, being vague with his words but clear with his meaning: there is no planned end to the operation. Even if they manage to free all the countries nearby, there are plenty more where that came from. The only reason to stop what they're doing is if they stop making progress or, as Germany said, until the war ends.
Having said that, he adds, "Nov, if there isn't any more questions, this meeting is dismissed. Except for you." Of course, he's pointing at Italy. Who he doesn't actually need for anything right now because all that really needs to happen is for his orders to spread and be followed, but he's not about to let his friend wander around unsupervised right now.

A betrayal from within, even his own generals went to side with Germany. In the Middle East, the Italian general staff had meetings on what to do next in the campaign. Italy, judging that their position was secure and as good as it was usually vetoed any calls for an advance by using his veto power over all the men, he was Commander in Chief of the Middle East after all. Hopefully Germany hadn't examined the meetings that were recorded, but knowing the German, he had probably examined every bit of information their was to extract about those meetings... Some of the recordings were quite distressing.
Italy almost faints as the German with deadly efficiently answers all questions from his man. They were moving out tomorrow? Italy would have given his men a week to move out! After all what was the rush? Also, how could his troops maintain this blitz like strategy for a long duration of time? Germany wasn't the only military genius around here! Italy of course was an excellent military mind himself! He had a rich history of war and glory! After all, he managed to create an empire for himself in Africa and Europe! So why didn't Germany trust him! On the other hand it saved him time to plan something so he was rather content that Germany would do the planning.
That was when Germany finally dismissed everyone in the meeting... except him. At first Italy was glad, maybe he could patch things up with his friend again! Then he realized one reason why Germany would want him to remain... Training. As the last German and Italian left, Italy grew nervous... No, not again! Surely he wouldn't dare... No he would!!!!! Italy was dead. While his men and the Germans made preparations to leave, Germany was going to put him through training again. How could he be so cruel!
Italy's hands then went wild as he tried ot get his point across to Germany. "AH!!! GERMANY PLEASE DON'T PUT ME INTO TRAINING!!!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO, I CAN'T!!! TRAINING WITH YOU IS ALMOST WORSE THEN GOING OUT ON A BATTLEFIELD!!!!" Hopefully he hadn't put it in the German's mind either, the last thing he needed was Germany telling him that that was actually a good idea... Because it wasn't, not one bit.

As the generals file out, Germany's expression is one that he rarely uses - at least in front of Italy. It is a look of satisfaction - it seems now that everything is going the way that he wants it to go. In fact he gets the sense that some of the generals may be much more ready to act than Italy himself - which is not extremely unusual but not necessarily something he could have predicted.
But the moment that everyone besides his friend and himself are gone, the expression disappears. And so too does Italy's composure, it seems. When he turns to look at the other nation, his expression is mildly tired - expected that sort of a reaction, and yet it still gets to him just a little bit. He sighs and folds his arms across his chest, simply observing the Italian while he loudly expresses his concerns. And when he's finished, Germany's reply is simple, "I don't think that I need to put you into training, but I don't vant you to run off and get drunk. I vant you to do something productive until evening and then to go to bed early so that you vill be vell-rested in the morning instead of tired and hungover. And I also don't trust your vord - so I vill be keeping an eye on you. So if you can come up vith a vay I can accomplish my goals vithout putting you into training, then you can do something else instead." That's fair, right?

It was as if the German read the Italian's mind. How on earth did he know he was going to run off and get drunk? In any case, Germany scolding him felt very similar to being scolded by Austria, he wasn't a child! He was a grown and powerful nation capable of many and great things! What right did Germany have to say, that he had to go to bed early? He was the Commander in Chief of the Middle East! The German still outranked him anyway though so his argument was practically invalid. And what was this about not trusting him?
Germany certainly knew how to make things awkward, he was going to keep an eye on him? Where did all this mistrust come from? Sure, Italy had been wasting military resources fortifying the Allegiance's defensive wall to make the area impenetrable and had prohibited any advance into enemy territory but still... Where was the trust? Italy was quite trustworthy! I mean he was put in charge of this theater, so the United Allegiance saw him as a serious and worthy ally after all. I mean who wouldn't trust Italy to lead a successful campaign in the Middle East?
At least Germany wasn't going to make him train, just as long as he didn't screw around, how hard could that be? "Got it, commander! I will do something constructive right now then! Am I dismissed?" The Italian knew the perfect way to use time constructively...

Germany has known Italy for a very, very, very long time. So well that he often knows what his friend is thinking even though he does not, in fact, have the ability to read his mind. Italy always wants to drink when he's feeling stressed about something, and the prospect of action beginning the next day in spite of all the efforts made to prevent it is surely stressful. In fact that correlation is so strong that he'd have to be a fool to miss it, and Germany is certainly no fool.
Though he does not, technically, actually outrank Italy. They're both nations, and as such their voices are officially regarded as equal on paper. Of course, not all nations are equal - everyone listens to America and nobody much cares about Sealand, for example - but according to most measures Germany and Italy are fairly equal. Except in one very critical respect: Germany is much, much better at both asserting his leadership and actually leading once he's convinced someone to follow him. That means that while Italy is well within his rights to refuse to do what Germany says at any time, Germany will almost undoubtedly manage to get Italy to do what he wants anyway and what Germany wants him to do is usually a very good idea. Usually.
When Italy asks if he's dismissed, Germany blinks at him and says, "Ja and Nein. As I said, I vill be keeping an eye on you. So vherever you go, ve vill go together." Italy thinks that he gets to wander off unsupervised? Don't be ridiculous! Not after the fake nuclear attack. The only way to be sure that Italy doesn't cause or get himself into trouble is to be there to prevent it.

Italy didn't mind Germany tagging along, while sadly it seemed that alcohol was off the table he could still find crazy fun things to do. Like driving to the nearby village to pick up the ladies or even a game of football! Personally Italy felt like going to the village, perhaps then he could be allowed to drink, Germany surely wouldn't be against the judgement of village women, then again Italy wouldn't put it past the German either. Maybe then Germany can relax and stop being so...German.
Germany must have been quite stressed out over this war, then again Italy wasn't sure what Germany was thinking most of the time, his friend was always so... straight face and scary. Perhaps this was only Germany's cover to try and hang out with him, after all, Italy was his best friend and ally! He hoped. Once again an outsider would wonder how on Earth they were friends, as they were near opposites, but in the end their friendship still worked out. Seeing that Germany was his Italy's friend after all, he'd better just do as his friend wanted in the military plan for tomorrow, there was no point getting Germany angry over such a thing. Even if Italy didn't feel like attacking tomorrow, it was Thursday after all and that was his break day...
"Hey that's great! We can go see the ladies in the nearby village!!! Then we can kiss them and hug them and kiss them again and hug them!!!" Italy motioned with his hands pointing towards the direction of the village about one kilometer away.

do not forget me
About thirty years ago, Israel's boss was assasinated. By who, well, no one knows, but Israel immediately blamed Iran. Of course, that alone wouldn't have started World War III, even though Israel and Iran's various allies declared war in quick succession.
Nah, the nuclear bomb in the middle of Jerusalem probably did it.
Now? Now the rest is history. The world's been at war for thirty years, thirty years of bloodshed and pain. No one else has reached for the nuclear option quite yet, but no one's happy. So if we all die- well, do not forget me, okay?
