Chapter 33: Goebbels (1)

Before Goebbels arrived, Contini carefully arranged his position: editor-in-chief of the world news and political section of the newspaper Youth, executive editor-in-chief of the news department of the IBC and deputy director of the propaganda office of the United Group, the first German liberal arts student he reused!

These positions seem inconspicuous, and even make people feel a little overkill, just do this? You must know that both the Youth Daily and the IBC were university students at this time, but in fact, Goebbels's position was very important - Goebbels would be the second person to organically combine the three of "Youth Daily", the IBC and the public opinion propaganda of the United Group.

Who was the first man? Contini himself!

Antonio understood his arrangement and wondered: "Young master, this Goebbels is very capable?" ”

"He's going to surprise people!" Contini smiled, "I'm going to ask him to set up the United Films!" ”

"But he's German! In the field of media, we have not yet used the habits of the Germans, and as for the ...... of filmmaking," Antonio paused, "the Italian film industry is far more developed than Germany!" ”

"It doesn't matter if the Germans are there, what I want is ability, it doesn't matter what nationality he is, there are no such people in Italy at the moment, and even if there is, I can't use it." Contini smiled, "Maybe I'm barely one myself, but I have other more important things, I don't have so much energy to always involve the media, I have to find someone to help me!" As for the movie, which aspect to look at, such as the wind and snow, romantic, and the content used to make money, then Goebbels is probably not good, if he makes a large-scale documentary, he will not let it - it just so happens that I am such a person, making movies is not to make money, but to burn money! ”

"Okay!" Antonio was once again defeated by the young master's arrogance, although the Pope had just signed an agreement with the government, and the promised $30 million in preferred stock would soon be paid, but it was not such a toss.

On November 11, Goebbels arrived in Rome with more than 400 German engineers, technicians and skilled workers, and told Contini very earnestly that at least 800 more men would leave for the United Group by the end of the month. The political orientation and competence of the personnel have been pre-checked to ensure that there are no abusive personnel.

Contini was satisfied with this seriousness, and smiled: "Doctor, now that we can work together, I wonder what you have in mind for your work?" ”

"Not yet, it's up to you." Standing next to Contini, who was six years younger than him, Goebbels looked very humble, "Before I came, Comrade Goering told me that I must learn more from you. ”

"You have won the award, comrades work together to do business, on age, education, qualifications, I should learn from you."

"No, no! None of this matters, as evidenced by your success in the course of the Italian Revolution and the rapid growth of the Syndicate. ”

Contini did not continue to be humble with him, and immediately told him about the three appointments, asking if this arrangement would work? If you are not satisfied, you can continue to adjust.

Goebbels was slightly stunned, he obviously quickly saw that there was a lot of truth behind these positions, and his face was very excited, but after thinking for a while, he said: "I have just arrived, I don't know anything, and I am also stammering in Italian that I learned by surprise, can I follow the president as a secretary for a few days first?" These are very important positions, and I can't just sit on them in one step, I have to prove to you and other colleagues that I can do my job. ”

"Doctor, we are comrades, in private you can call me Calais." Contini smiled, "In this case, I will make an arbitrary decision, your appointment will be announced first, and you will be with me for the time being to familiarize yourself with the situation in Italy, and don't say such things as a secretary, let a doctor be a secretary to a junior student, it will be scary to say it." ”

Both Goebbels and Antonio laughed.

At this time, someone came to Antonio to discuss matters, and Goebbels communicated with Contini when he saw the opportunity: "I have something to report to you in advance...... In China, I was appointed secretary of the Italian German branch of the National Socialist Party, mainly for the German employees of the United Group and their families, and my superior was Comrade Goering, but he discussed with me for a long time before he came, and suggested that I listen to your opinion on this matter, and your statement and support are very important. ”

Contini sighed: "Doctor, this thing is a little difficult to do......"

"I know it's not easy, so I'll talk to you about this task on the first day." Goebbels touted, "You are not only the veteran and leader of the party, but also the founder of the party's guiding ideology, and your opinion is of paramount importance." If you think I can do it, I'll do it; If you think it won't work, I won't carry it out, and I'll find another way to report on the domestic side. ”

Contini nodded: "The situation of the coalition group is relatively special, there is a clear intervention in the political beliefs of the workers, especially the participation of the organization, generally only allowed to join the youth union or fascist, other organizations are generally not allowed to infiltrate, although I am also a member of the National Socialist Party, but this matter cannot be opened for the time being, otherwise it will lead to management chaos." However, it will not be possible for you to explain so neatly, and it will affect the opinion of other comrades about me: I am a member of the party after all, and these Germans are not Italians after all. ”

Goebbels pondered for a moment and then said, "I have a compromise ......"

"You say."

"The ideology and principles of the National Socialist Party and the Youth League and the Fascist Party are basically similar, and I propose that the Germans working in the United Group first join the Youth League, mature one to join the other, and then I develop the National Socialist members among these mature members so that they straddle the two close friendly parties, what do you think about this? I will personally apply to join the Youth Alliance as soon as possible. ”

Contini's eyes lit up, and he thought it was a good idea: Goebbels had to help the youth coalition develop members before he could develop the National Socialist members, and he was satisfied with this order, so that the youth alliance could capture these members of the National Socialist Party; Second, the National Socialist Party is an important link, and he must firmly grasp it, because if he simply refuses to develop a word, it will not only affect his relations with Hitler and others, but also affect future relations, and the good relations he has forged in the past will be alienated, which will be detrimental to his long-term plans.

He was more satisfied with Goebbels's attitude, he actually knew what the other party was going to do, but as soon as Goebbels arrived, he pointed out this problem, indicating that he was very honest with himself, and this was a good starting point for cooperation.

"Your idea is good, I accept it, let's do it!"

"Young master, I just answered the master's call, he asked you to call back the Prime Minister's Office as soon as possible, today the leader called twice and didn't find you."

Contini nodded, grabbed the phone and didn't say a few words, his face became solemn, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will do it!" ”

"The leader has something to do for you......" Antonio sighed, "who is going to be unlucky this time?" ”

"Who else could there be, the haunted bastards of the Socialist Party!" Contini gritted his teeth and cursed, then beckoned, "Let's discuss how to deal with this matter!" ”
