"If you say that, I think there's a lot of suspicion......"

"Who?"

"Dai Wiki!" (Note: De Vecchi, one of the Big Four, I don't know why some Chinese sources translate it as Dino Grandi)

"Him?" Contini felt a little inexplicable, why did he have trouble with the old Ziano?

"Before forming the Cabinet, Dai Weiqi was eager to get a cabinet position, but the leader didn't know what the reason was, so he didn't agree, but I got the cabinet position, and the others didn't hold it...... No one else cared when the decision was announced, but the Wikimediar was addicted and looked disappointed - although he covered it up well, and then Balbo's designation as the second head of the Air Force in the past two days may have irritated his nerves. Old Ciano spread his hands, "It could have been peaceful, but now that you run the United Group so big, they always think that there is a ...... of my hand in it."

"The eyes are red!" Contini smiled slightly, "If they knew that this is a company that loses more than 100 million lira a year, will they still be red-eyed?" ”

"Who knows?" Old Ciano muttered dissatisfiedly, "Those who really understand business and have played business should be able to understand, only this group of people who have not done business for a day can not see clearly......"

"Isn't there a rumor that he's going to be governor of Somalia?"

"Where did you hear this rumor?" Old Ciano asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard?" ”

Contini thought quickly: in history, Dai Vikki became the capital of Somalia until December 1923, and it is now July, almost 5 months away, the old Ciano said that there is no such news, it can be seen that this appointment has not been started, there must be other reasons in history, he can't analyze what the reason is, but intuitively concluded that Dai Vikki became the governor of Somalia should have a close connection with his official addiction. The Italian Somali governor, despite his high and powerful position, was in fact far away from the political center of Rome, which amounted to exile.

He pondered for a long time and then said, "Father, I wonder if you would like to go to Somalia to be the governor?" ”

"Me?" Old Ziano was taken aback, "Let me go?" Why? ”

"Why, can't you bear the flowery world of Rome?"

"Uh......" Old Chiano was speechless, he couldn't answer this sentence, his eyes rolled, "What are you asking me to do in Somalia?" It's not a good place, and without me at the Ministry of Transport, you wouldn't be able to do business in Italy too easily. ”

"But there's one thing that's convenient in Somalia!"

"What is it?"

"Training!"

Old Ciano stood up "Huo", stared at Contini with disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Calais, you...... What do you want? ”

"What do you say? Father? Contini looked at the fading Havana cigar in the ashtray, picked it up again and lit it for the elder Ciano, and said in a nonchalant tone, "From the Führer's march into Rome, I have come to the conclusion that if you want to do great things in Italy, you must have soldiers in your hands!" ”

"What do you want to do? Overthrow the leader? It's up to you? Old Ciano smiled, "Don't be kidding, if the leader is so easy, neither Diaz nor Bono has the troops in their hands, even Vicky has also led the brave, and the level is one level higher than Messer." ”

"They've only brought soldiers or are bringing soldiers now, but they're not their ......," Contini smiled, "but the 320 guards at the Club of Rome are mine!" As long as I have the legal identity and staffing, I can easily expand to 1,000 or even 3,000 people! ”

Old Ziano was silent: he knew what his son meant, other people's military power was granted by the national defense system, and if it could be granted, it could naturally be canceled, and maybe there would be no more orders. But the son's guards were all fed with the funds of the United Group, and everything from personnel to logistics was completely in the hands of the United Group, which were two different things.

"If you go to Italian Somalia, I can expand my troops, and in two years I will have the financial resources." Contini smiled, "Of course I won't do anything to overthrow the leader, how stupid it is, but if the leader changes in one way or another, does my father have any ideas?" Can you guarantee that leaders won't get sick for the next 10 or 20 years? No surprises? ”

Now the old Ciano finally understood the words that Antonio vaguely mentioned when he reported to him last time: "Master, the young master's ambition far exceeds that of his peers!" I even feel that it is much stronger than you! ”

At first, he only regarded it as a compliment from the old butler, but now it seems that the old butler can see it more clearly than himself.

"If you want to seize military power, why don't you go to Libya?" Ciano Sr. retorted, "The situation in Libya is unstable, there are more opportunities for military training, and it is closer to the Italian mainland. ”

"You are not suitable to go to ......" Contini shook his head, in fact, he also wanted Libya, where there was a big oil field and a not too small iron mine waiting for him, but he weighed it carefully and gave up, explaining to old Ziano, "Libya is a land of right and wrong that needs a strong strongman, your temperament is not suitable for fighting and killing, this thing Uncle Balbo is almost the same, he can do it - can you imagine the brutal encirclement and suppression of razing villages to the ground?" ”

Old Ziano sighed: "You're right, I can't do this kind of thing, I'm a navy, I haven't done this kind of thing, and I guess I can't learn it!" ”

"Forget it, don't go to Somalia either, it's too early." Contini himself denied his idea again, because he found that the old Chiano would not be able to seize the military power even if he went to Somalia, and he had to go over by himself, but if he went by himself, what would happen to the mess of the United Group? A person's energy in a period of time is limited, and the United Group is still in the initial period, and it is inseparable from its own toss.

"Son, don't be too anxious, you are only 20 years old, no one is better than you in the second generation, you don't need to worry at all. You do a good job of the United Group first, don't let people see jokes, and then in a few years I will find you a good family affair to stabilize our family's political status, and in another 20 or 30 years you will be the turn of the prime minister, in 20 years you will only be 40 years old, even if it is 30 years, you will be 50 years old...... "The elder Chiano explained, "At that time, you are not old, Italy has not yet produced a prime minister under the age of 40, do you want to ascend to the sky in one step?" This is impossible, and if you have military power, people will not accept it! ”

Contini nodded, acquiescing.

"Now the top priority is to deal with the matter of the Youth Alliance, no matter who is noisy in the ears of the leader, the leader can say it so solemnly, it must be extremely tempting, so this hurdle must be passed."

"Leader, I have already thought of a way to communicate tomorrow ......"

"Are you sure?"

"Seven points sure."

"It's good to be sure, it's inconvenient for me to come forward to coordinate this matter for you, if you become the Minister of Youth in the future, even if we are basically equal in the party, even if it is father and son, we have to do business." Old Chiano smiled: "If it's really De Vikki who is making trouble, then I'll find a way to get him to Somalia first, let him be with the sand, let's see it out of sight." ”

"Do you have a solution?"

"Of course I have a way, you don't think your father is just an old man who eats and waits for death, does you?"

"Then I wish my father a victorious start." Contini smiled, "There is also a plan to report to you, the United Construction has been listed, and United Iron and Steel will be prepared soon, I hope that next year and then the Ministry of Railways will be able to contract the project, and then the materials and everything will go from United Iron and Steel." ”

"As long as the quality and price are okay, of course it can't run under the same conditions." Old Ziano asked, "How much scale do you plan to do with United Steel?" ”

"Tentatively 300,000 tons! Forward 2 million tons! ”

As soon as he heard this number, old Chiano felt his scalp tingle......
