Chapter 63: Albert's Return Gun (2)
"A joint inspection by the War Office, the First Regional Court of Rome and a delegation of neutral parliamentarians confirmed that all weapons allocated by the War Office to the Roman Warrior Club and the Guard of the Union were present and in accordance with the registration data, and that the consumption of ammunition was at a normal level of training...... The accusations of smuggling weapons from the United Bloc to German political forces are completely non-existent. β
At the beginning of the press conference, a spokesman for the United Group made an announcement.
Diaz and Contini looked at each other and smiled: Of course, it is impossible to find out anything, the extra arms given by the War Department have long been written off due to the "fire and explosion" of the arsenal, how can it appear in the accounts of the United Group? Even if you turn the sky upside down, you can't find any clues.
"After a joint inspection by the Admiralty, the First Local Court of Rome and a delegation of neutral parliamentarians, the three abandoned warships transferred by the Navy to the United Group, one has been sold to a Bulgarian company and delivered two months ago, and one has been sold to a local shipping company in Northeast China (see 52-53 for details), and the last Rome has been retained by the United Group and is currently in a state of disassembly, and the 305mm main gun, 203mm naval gun, and 76mm rapid-fire gun on it have been disassembled and displayed, and the bridge part is currently being disassembled, The ships are moored at the United Shipyard of the United Group, and the rest are ......"
"As a result of a joint inspection by the Admiralty, the First Tribunal of Rome and a delegation of neutral parliamentarians, the aircraft transferred by the Air Force to United Aviation were of no anomalous ...... except for normal wear and tear, damage, scrapping and wrecking"
"By the Ministry of Internal Affairs...... The Roman Warrior Club is a military training project base that provides self-funded training, and since its completion, a total of 142 pilots have been trained, and the rest of the police force is the internal guard training of the United Group, the training of the leadership guard, and there is no abnormality, and the border department submits a report, during which the above-mentioned personnel have no exit record......"
On March 21, Contini held a press conference and spent a week checking all the information about weapons and personnel, and everything was normal - only normal, of course!
As for the expenses, this matter is not within the scope of verification in the first place, because the United Group is not a government enterprise, and it is not involved in tax evasion and economic disputes. Besides, Contini is not afraid to check the accounts, the money given to Goering is all left in the German bank during the last Mark speculation, and there is no such thing as the United Group.
"In view of the repeated slander of the United Group by the Socialist Party, the Company has filed a lawsuit with the First Regional Court of Rome - accusing it of defamation! The court has accepted the case, the pre-trial and evidence verification are underway, and the follow-up trial will be carried out one after another, and the first public trial is expected to be held on April 5. After the spokesman introduced the basic situation, "Now enter the free question time, all reporters can ask questions, due to the large number of people, no more than 3 questions per person, do not repeatedly entangle the questions that have been asked." β
"President Ziano, I am a journalist for the Socialists, does the statement of the Coalition Group openly deny the existence of relations with the National Socialist Party of Germany?"
"I, I never deny it, in fact I have a lot of connections with the National Socialist Party, Adolf Hitler is a very good friend of mine, and if you pay attention to their political ideas, you will find that there is a line of continuity with my theory, the guiding ideology of fascism is three banners - one country, one doctrine, one leader! The Kuomintang added a little more, one more nation, and they personally admitted that they had learned from us in terms of experience and theoretical system, but ......"
Contini changed his words: "Whether I sympathize with the party, have ties with the party's backbone, or donate money to the party, it does not constitute the accusation of the Socialist Party - support!" What is breeding? That's a pet and a thug, is the German National Socialist Party my pet and a thug? What am I achieving through them? You have to be clear that in the minds of the German people the National Socialist Party and Herr Adolf Hitler are the national heroes of Germany, have you ever considered the anger of the 70 million German people when you slander a national hero who accepts my support? β
"But according to the German press, Hermann Goering, a key member of the National Socialist Party, had served under you for a long time, and this time he fled to Italy......"
"Hermann GΓΆring is indeed an employee of the Group, having worked as a junior manager, but I don't know anything about what he did in Germany." In an aggressive tone, Contini said, "Did any eyewitnesses accuse him?" Did the German government declare him guilty? Do you have any evidence that the Coalition is involved in his political activities? Does a company take care of the private lives of its employees outside of the eight hours? Aren't human rights and freedoms something you talk about every day? Why not now? Taking a step back of 10,000 steps, even if Hermann Goering is guilty, it is a matter between him and the German government, do Italy and Germany have extradition clauses? Didn't you? The Social Democrats interfered with the judicial power and freedoms of Italy for the German government β I think they deserve the term "piggybacked!" β
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and the reporters applauded: from the perspective of a neutral third party, the United Group is an Italian company, and what does it mean that the Socialist Party cooperates with the Germans to point fingers?
"We have heard that there are a large number of Germans who are currently receiving military training at the Club of Rome."
"This matter has been verified, from this year, all employees of the United Group who are in good health and age will participate in military training, and as employees of the United Group, they are the first batch to be selected for training, and there are more than 1,000 Italian employees who are trained with them, I don't know what you are staring at the identity of the Germans? Are they agitating and sabotaging in Italy? On the contrary, the Germans are here to help us build industry and develop the economy, and there are more than 5,000 engineers, technicians and skilled workers of German descent in the United Group, who account for only 5% of the company's employees, but they play a very important and crucial role, so ......"
Contini said in a very serious tone: "I suspect that the purpose of the Socialist Party in targeting the German descendants in this way is to interfere with and sabotage the economic development of the United Group, to hinder the company's industrial cultivation and technological upgrading, in the final analysis, to dig up the roots of the Italian national economy, in the final analysis, to destroy the jobs of the other 95,000 Italian employees of the United Group, and in the final analysis, to destroy the Italian national economy with the United Group as the core, involving thousands of enterprises and millions of upstream and downstream employees, and the purpose and motive are not pure. There is a suspicion of eating inside and out, and his heart can be punished! β
Journalists are "buzzing", and the domineering president is now linking the Socialist attack on the United Group with the attack on the Italian national economy, this level of stealing beams and changing pillars - tsk! However, it makes sense, not every consortium dares to invest more than 700 million lira a year and is willing to bear a loss of 200 million lira like the United Group - the economy is combat effectiveness, and losing money is also influence!
"In order to effectively counter this behavior, the Group has issued the following countermeasures," Contini nodded, motioning for the spokesman to read out.
"First, from now on, if there are members of the Socialist Party among the employees of the cooperative or correspondent units of the United Group, the settlement of their accounts shall be postponed for six months until the employee or the employee concerned quits the Socialist Party;
Second, from now on, the United Group scholarship and education funding will not be applicable to the following schools......" The spokesman reported a list of "if the above-mentioned schools can get rid of the Socialist elements in their real power, the relevant funding can be restored;
Third, from now on, the United Group will stop purchasing the following products of enterprises linked to the Socialist Party, and advise the employees of the United Group and their families not to purchase them;
Fourthly, with immediate effect, the United Group refuses to deal with bank accounts linked to the Socialist Party, and it is recommended that any employee of the Company open an account in the above-mentioned bank account to close his/her account;
Fifth, in the elections for the Central Council and the local councils, the Group will sponsor candidates from other parties in the constituencies in which Socialist candidates participate;
Sixth, the Youth Daily has set up a special page for the public to publish a statement announcing their withdrawal from the Socialist Party free of charge;
Seventh, the United Group has set up a special fund, and those who can collect clues about the violations of law and discipline of the Socialist Party and its members and report to the company will be rewarded in cash according to the circumstances and authenticity, with no upper limit;
Eighth, for individuals and other enterprises who want to sue the Socialist Party, the company provides free legal consulting services and litigation fees, and can also hire our lawyer team to represent the relevant cases;
Ninth ,......"
A whole 12 measures to reveal the essence of the image of the domineering president, in a word: anyone who is involved with the Socialist Party, the company will not serve; Anyone else who opposes the Socialist Party, you are a cat or a dog, and the company sponsors it - the United Group is such a dick!
"President Ziano, you unilaterally announced the postponement of the payment settlement, which is suspected of breach of contract."
"That's right, I'm in breach of contract, if they don't want to come according to our requirements, they can go to the court to sue us, and they can pay as much as they want, but please listen, don't want to get a new order from us in the future!"
"You interfered with the ...... by demanding that they dismiss the Socialist workers"
Contini interrupted impatiently: "That's right, I will interfere, only the Socialists will interfere with us, not with them?" What is the rationale for this? If you are not satisfied, you can come to the lawsuit, and we will accompany you to the end! Besides, I am only verbally suggesting that it is up to the individual companies to do so, and what their boards of directors can weigh in depth β which one to choose between the Coalition and the Socialist Party, and that there is no third way to please us and please the Socialists. Inexistent! β
The face of the reporter of "Socialist" changed greatly, except for a part of the backbone of the Socialist Party, the rest are basically composed of industrial workers, many of whom work in enterprises in northern Italy, and many of them are involved in the economic dealings of the United Group, if it is really like what Contini said, these bosses will definitely choose to dismiss the Socialists instead of fighting a lawsuit with Contini - the lawsuit costs money and energy, how can the dismissal of employees come quickly? And even if they are employees, are they willing to pay for their jobs for the Socialist Party?
He is not optimistic about this, and it is difficult to find a job now......
A stormy counterattack against the Socialist Party is coming!
