imprison and kill all the current military leadership then ask germany to lend me officers
im a puppet of germany anyways might as well act like it in the case i wont be humiliated in war
then id invest so much into naval and air supremacy that the entire coast of the meditteranean, atlantic, and black sea become a no go zone for anytone other than axis
and most of all economically colonize and devestate every area i touch thats not axis, my economy is trash so i may as well full blown pillage for the benefit of my state
and finally id plan for a backdoor out of all this shit because covering my ass is obviously important considering how history went. I'd actually be in argentina and id be shitposting as an old fuck on int and pol

Invade Austria and hope I don't get my entire army destroyed by the Vienna police
Invent rock'n roll
Denounce Hitler and join allies to liberate France. Then be remembered as hero, keep Istria, maybe get Corsica or Nice from France after liberating it.
Make Italy strong western country and not become an example of a historical buffoon.
Hitler and Mussolini didn't have that much in common and had to do a lot of weird stuff to make their ideas compatible.

This.
I'd also make ethiopia semi independent before fully granting independence, then begin a campaign to develop Libya and build hospitals and schools there.
then begin a path to a democracy
I'd also build fortifications across the alps and train divisions specifically for fighting there, and drop most officers

Dont go back on my word and side with France and Britain against Hitler

Ally with Great Britain and raze the Vatican.
I would invade Poland before the Adolf will do ... then great march with Polkas to Berlin
... why not?
Lose Hitler's number and pull a Franco
Ally with UK, France, etc. Restore the glorious Roman Republic, instill martial virtue rather than straight up fascist war worship.
Get elected Consul and eventually Dictator once war really gets going. Retire as proconsul after Hitler is smashed.
Best answer: Prepare for war with Germany by 1938 January. It should be easy to convince France, Poland and Austria to join.
Win the war, focus on developing colonies. Maybe fund a Fascist version of Comintern. Lend support to Mosley and other fascists through this and gain allies. Enjoy permanent peace until you die at the age of 90 surrounded by your friends and family aand forever loved by Italy.
Make sure to have a clear successor who won't revert to democratic capitalism

Not at all true until the Italian Social Republic
>then id invest so much into naval and air supremacy that the entire coast of the meditteranean, atlantic, and black sea become a no go zone for anytone other than axis
Sure, gain a better navy than Britain in just 4 years. That seems possible

Good way to make sure these areas will never forgive you and will always want to break away
