Chapter 27: The Revolution (5)
Of course, the training at the Club of Rome was extremely hard, according to Contini, the brave arranged intensive and brutal training, trying to condense the one-year training subjects into three months, and the physical training of 15 kilometers of cross-country training, 500 push-ups, 500 pull-ups in the morning and evening was scary enough, not to mention other subjects.
It's not that no one thought of escaping, but those who fled from the base were all killed by the brave without exception - only Goering knew about it, and Contini blocked all the words with a sentence of "shake the elements, it is not a pity to die", and Goering had to admit that the other party did the right thing while being shocked by Continy's ruthlessness, how could he be merciful in a cause like revolution that wants to lose his head? If you can flee now because your training is too hard, you will come to betray your comrades and betray the revolution in the future.
In the end, more than 140 trainees died because of the escape, 17 died of disability, 11 died of disability, and in the end, only 115 people, including Goering (because Goering often went out to fly planes, his training volume was not large, and he was more of a command type).
There are also some brave men who are training Mussolini's guards, on the one hand, to fulfill Mussolini's requirements, and on the other hand, they can also take the opportunity to cover the commandos, for example, the supplies and ammunition lost in live ammunition can be partially installed on Mussolini's head - although the money goes to the United Group, but the cost of arms still has to be ventilated with the War Department, so a dozen sloppy eyes and Contini's current position, it is calm. The Leader's Guard is slightly more demanding and security-focused than the Commandos, but the training process has been uneventful due to the fact that Mussolini himself selected members with a good military foundation.
Looking back at the results of the commando training, Goering knew that the spirit of each of them was completely different, and the team members themselves may not be clear, but when they returned to China and compared with other members of the National Socialist Party, the difference could be seen, and then there would be a sense of proud self-consciousness!
"Including today, we still have 3 days to carry out the last training class, and I specially asked the instructor to put the final arrangement of this subject." Contini glanced at everyone, raised his voice, and emphasized, "That's how to effectively retreat, alternate cover, and disperse the fleeing!" I hope that every comrade will be proficient. We are not afraid of death, but we must die meaningfully, we must not die blindly or impulsively, I hope that comrades can reserve useful bodies for the revolution, the road to revolution is very long, there will be a next time if this time is not successful, but if you die this time, there will be no next time. Therefore, once we discover that the situation is not right and that there is an absolute imbalance between the forces of the enemy and us, you must obey the command and retreat, and try your best to cover other comrades, especially the party leaders and party backbones, for this is our unshirkable responsibility! Can you do it? ”
Everyone paused for a moment, and then reflexively replied, "Yes!" ”
"Comrades, there is no shame in retreating, as long as victory can be won, you can do anything. We are not even afraid of death, are we still afraid of learning to retreat and save our lives? ”
Everyone laughed "bang", and for the first time felt that although His Excellency the president was young, he could speak to his heart in every sentence, and he was a person with great wisdom, big mind and big pattern, and he was more convinced in his heart.
"President, do you believe they can succeed?" At the end of the training that night, Tony, the chief instructor in charge of training this commando team, who is also the head of the United Group guard and the former commander of the Brave Major, asked suspiciously.
To train so many people, the brave must not be able to hide it internally, but after more than half a year of training, Contini has successfully established his own team of cronies: Giann is in charge of the dark one, and Tony is in charge of the group guards, and the two cooperate with each other and contain each other, and are directly responsible to Contini respectively.
Contini smiled and shook his head: "I expected that the revolution would most likely fail, so I asked you to strengthen your retreat training." ”
"I see."
"It's not that I deliberately sent them to death, but that the revolutionary situation in Germany has developed to the point where it is imminent, and it is imperative to act. Many things are like this, you have to try to have a chance, after all, there are a few people like the leader who can hit it with one blow, the German revolution is only afraid that it will have to go through a lot of tribulations, participating in this operation is a valuable asset for them, and there will be a next time if it is not successful this time. ”
Tony asked, puzzled, "Then why are you against some of the guards going to the revolution and serving as volunteers?" With a little more strength, wouldn't the success of the revolution be more certain? ”
"The revolution does not rely on a little more or less arming, the revolution depends on the support of the people, on the balance of political forces, even if I double the number of people, can I win the war by fighting? - Sickert's Wehrmacht in Weimar could not defeat the Franco-Belgian coalition, but it was more than enough to suppress the revolution. ”
Contini explained seriously: "Tony, this is the German revolution, the Italians can help a little, but if you go into battle in person, the nature will change, not only will it disrupt the international balance, but it will also cause many unintended consequences, do you see that I will not also show up in the rear?" If I rush to the front line, what do you think will be? Will the British, French and German governments suspect that the leaders are exporting the revolution? That's pretty damn! If you don't do it, it will cause international disputes, so this matter can only be promoted behind the scenes, it can only be my personal behavior, and it must not be blamed on Italy, so I am firmly against the guards going to Germany, and if you really want to help them, help me to put more effort into the last few days of training. ”
"I see." Tony nodded subconsciously, "But you said it so well in your lecture, even a member like me, who does not belong to the National Socialist Party, was enthusiastic and enthusiastic after hearing it, in fact, I am not young anymore." ”
"Revolution has nothing to do with age, the heart of the country, the heart of the people, the courage to change, the courage to sacrifice, when you join the revolution, you are not old...... On the other hand, even if he still has a young skin, he is just a zombie of the walking dead. "I'll talk about it again the day after tomorrow before they leave, but this time it's different, maybe it's sad." ”
Tony Murran: I'm afraid that many people will never see each other again after this operation......
On October 18th, the day of parting finally came, and all the commandos prepared their belongings and prepared to disperse back to China according to the arrangements of the United Group - some returned to China via Austria, some via Switzerland, and some even had to return home after a circle from France, and the first target city for returning to China was not Munich, but all kinds of places, and finally agreed to report to the party headquarters in Munich before October 30.
