It cannot be said that the Anglo-French military missions were exactly rushed to Moscow. A plane would have got them there in a day. But they were sent on a slow boat – a passenger-cargo vessel – which took as long to get them to Russia as the
Queen Mary could have conveyed them to America. They sailed for Leningrad on
August 5 and did not arrive in Moscow until August 11.

August 6 [Count Ciano] wrote [in his diary]:
We must find some way out. By following the Germans we shall go to war and enter it under the least favorable conditions for the Axis, and especially for Italy. Our gold reserves are reduced to almost nothing, as well as our stocks of metals . . . We must avoid war. I propose to the Duce the idea of my meeting with Ribbentrop . . . during which I would attempt to continue discussion of Mussolini’s project for a world conference.
