"Leader, since you are so important, I have a duty to do this, but I wonder who is against you on this matter? There should be no such people in Fascisty, right? ”

Mussolini's face was embarrassed, in fact, there were people who opposed it internally, but he was not easy to show it in front of Contini, which would show that his prestige and control were insufficient, so he had to say vaguely: "There are some comrades inside who don't understand, but it doesn't matter, I can convince them, the key is that there are always people outside who make trouble with me!" ”

"Who is so ignorant of current affairs?"

"Matteotti, bastard!" Mussolini said angrily, "On the one hand, he ridiculed me for my degeneration from a socialist atheist to a follower of the Pope, and on the other hand, he insulted me and said that for the sake of power, I could do anything to steer the rudder." ”

Others may not believe Contini, but when Matteotti's name is mentioned, Contini basically believes it.

Giacomo Matteotti is not only a member of parliament for the Italian Socialist Party, but also its secretary-general. The Socialist Party is an old Italian political party, very influential in the political arena, and is the stronghold of the left-wing party, but in 1921 the party had a split, and the left-wing became the Italian Communist Party independently, and its strength was weakened a lot.

Matteotti obviously did not oppose Mussolini because of his proximity to religion, he was a representative who resolutely opposed Fassolini's seizure of power, and it happened that Fascotti merged with the Italian Nationalist Party at this time, and his popularity in parliament was huge, so there were many articles to bombard Mussolini.

Mussolini said hatefully: "If it weren't for the concern about the social impact, I would have sent someone to kill this guy directly!" ”

Looking at the other party's remaining anger, Contini knew that he could really do such a thing, didn't Matteotti die at the hands of Mussolini in history? So he immediately stood up and said: "Leader, I understand, go back and set it up, and from next week, the "Youth Daily" will start to build momentum, and it will definitely not disappoint you." ”

"Calais, I like the spirit of you young people - willing to work hard, dare to fight!" Mussolini personally sent Contini to the door, "If there is any difficulty, you can come to the Prime Minister's Office at any time to find me, without making an appointment." ”

As soon as Contini left, Caesar Rossi, the chief of staff for the press service, entered Mussolini's office and asked suspiciously: "Leader, will you leave this matter to him?" ”

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Rosie thought for a while: "I'm afraid that he is inexperienced and can't fight Matteotti, and he will delay your affairs when the time comes......"

Mussolini smiled slyly: "The little ones are inexperienced, and the old ones are not either?" ”

Caesar Rossi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: There is an old Chiano in the back, if the leader of this matter directly tells the old Chiano to do it, the effect may not be good, but if it is handed over to little Chiano, His Excellency the Minister of Transportation must do his best, otherwise it will be embarrassing to investigate this matter at that time.

"Moreover, do you want to ignore Calais's ability, in fact, I think his political stance and understanding are very outstanding, not to mention better than 99.9% of college students, that is, better than many comrades in our party, several of his articles - whether it is "to be rich and strong, not free", "one doctrine, one party, one leader" are very weighty, they can all be to the point of the times rather than general, and his level of running a newspaper is also very good, do you remember the statistics you gave me?"

"Yes. Starting from scratch, it took 2 months for the newspaper to have a circulation of more than 3,000 copies in Rome, of which more than 1,900 were stable subscribers, and more will be next year; In addition to Rome, Milan and Bologna also have more than 1,000 copies in each city, and it is said that they will also spread to the big cities of the country, and wherever there are secondary and higher education institutions, there must be a Youth newspaper. ”

"This is a very remarkable achievement, the current circulation of relatively large national newspapers such as the "Corriere della Sera" in Rome is only more than 5,000 copies, although our organ newspaper "Italian People's Daily" has nearly 9,000 subscribers, but you must also know that many of them are forced by the situation...... "Youth Daily" is completely relying on its own word-of-mouth and marketing to do it, one has no political party background, two has no consortium background, very commendable." Mussolini paused and then said, "And you have to notice the fact that Calais also went to Germany for more than a month, and it is impossible for him to interfere in the operation of the newspaper for more than a month, which shows that the operation of his team is ideal." Oh by the way, I heard that they don't even have a salary, or are they compulsory labor? ”

"Yes, from top to bottom, except for a few workers in the distribution department, the rest of the positions held by college students are all unpaid, and only a small number of allowances are paid."

"This is cohesion......," Mussolini sighed, "now that the party has gained power and the newspapers have expanded their circulation, but the cohesion has not increased at the same time, I even feel a little worse than before, how can there be so many opposition voices within the party before?" ”

Rossi can only be silent about this, after tasting the taste of power, these rights and interests can no longer be let go, and there will naturally be more contention and internal strife, he thinks that these Mussolini is not very clear, and now it seems that he is completely wrong, and the leader knows this.

"So, I'm sending someone to learn from the Youth Daily?"

"No need, we can't learn their methods, and after learning them, they will be more destructive."

Rosie was stunned, wondering why the leader would say such a thing.

"First, the target audience of the newspaper is very clear: intellectuals, young students and the middle class, while the newspaper of the party's organ is aimed at the whole Italian people and cannot be discarded; Second, these recent reports of the Youth Daily have used a large number of social statistics, field surveys, and index analysis and comparison methods, and our newspaper personnel have neither the energy nor the ability to use them. Thirdly, the "Youth Daily" has excerpts and comments from foreign news, the popularization of science and technology, the exchange of academic ideas and cultural dissemination, and even literary criticism of a large number of pages, and if the "People's Daily" learns these styles and drops the book bag, it will be a fight......" Mussolini said in an approving tone, "The Youth Daily is for people with a medium level of education or above, and the early growth and promotion will be very fast, but the follow-up momentum is almost the same, because the cultural level of Italian society is here." Families who subscribe to Youth Daily usually have a second or third newspaper, while most people who subscribe to People's Daily only have one copy. ”

Rossi nodded, the leader is a person who has been running a newspaper for many years, he is very experienced, and he really sees things well.

"The reason why we chose Youth to do this is because Youth is a reasonable newspaper, and Matteotti has always wanted to reason with us? Then I will use the same reasonable newspaper to deal with him, so that he does not have the energy to make trouble with me, and whether the "Youth Daily" wins or loses, it will not affect the party's reputation, so why don't I do it? ”

Rossi took a deep breath: "Leader, I'm curious about Calais's expression when he left just now, I don't feel nervous, but confident, and even vaguely excited, excluding the factor that young people don't know the sky, I really want to know if the reasoning of the Youth newspaper can beat Mateotti." ”

"I'm as curious as you are, let's wait and see, at least Calais gives me a good feeling - he can write articles, he can do politics, and he is even very talented in business, and someone told me that he made a fortune speculating in Germany, and I just tried it and found out that it is actually true - this kid made at least 20 million to 30 million lire!"

Mussolini never expected that by the end of this afternoon's closing, due to the closing of the last time window given to Germany by Britain and France, the decline of the mark could not be contained at all, and Contini had almost made $13 million......
