Hearing that Contini was suddenly going to the Far East and said that he would take Ida with him, Mussolini was also stunned at the time, but what the old Ciano said was very reasonable: "First, Calais didn't take Ida out on vacation this summer, and he didn't want to go, and besides, going to the Far East has long been said, and it is impossible not to fulfill his promise all the time; Second, he has been feeling a little tired recently, too much work and too much reputation are not good for a young man, he is still enjoying the moment of youth; Thirdly, because of some drastic changes in the Far East, he thought it was necessary to expand the influence of the country, although he felt that he was not qualified to be a vice minister of foreign affairs, but I, who was a father, thought that it was okay for him to be a diplomatic envoy, I don't know what you think? ”

"Well......" Mussolini was silent. To tell the truth, after the two battles of foreign exchange and crude oil, he was a little jealous of Contini's strong limelight, and he wanted to press it, arranging for the vice minister of foreign affairs to appear to be rewarded on the surface, but in fact there were other considerations, but now the prospective son-in-law is so good, and he is ready to take the initiative to fade out of the focus of public opinion, he thinks that it is not close to the people to chase and fight - no matter what, he is also his political successor, and the old Ziano said that he will start to hold an engagement ceremony when he comes back in half a year, this is the standard son-in-law, and it is too incredible to toss it.

So it's best that way!

"Since he has this idea, I think it is understandable, let him be a diplomatic envoy, and by the way, solve some major problems." Mussolini suddenly remembered something, "In this way, let him take two battleships and a newly launched heavy cruiser to the Far East to visit the following, and the national envoy must have the façade of the national envoy...... He has done so much for the country, there is nothing to thank him, and he is not short of money, so he can only get him a fleet to support the scene. ”

The old Ciano expressed his gratitude again and again, and originally invited Rachel to visit together, considering that Rachel was born in the burgher class after all, Mussolini was worried about inappropriate speech and behavior, and finally decided to let the old Ziano's wife Agnes accompany him on the trip - one is that she is a future mother-in-law, and the other is the wife of the Minister of Transportation or a nobleman, and she has a good image and temperament.

"You two young people go to play and pull me as a light bulb? If I don't go, I'll play myself, I'd rather go to Paris. ”

"Mother, you can't say that, you are now visiting on behalf of the country, on behalf ......of the Ziano family and His Excellency the Minister of Transport," Contini blinked, "Originally, I arranged for Monica to accompany Ada, but now that she has grown up, she doesn't like Monica dangling in front of me a little...... If she hadn't worked so hard, they would have wanted me to replace her. ”

Agnes laughed: "That's because Monica is so beautiful, they really don't feel at ease with you, I don't believe you change to an ugly secretary, see if they will be like this......"

"But the ugly secretary is inefficient, your son is hundreds of thousands of miles of business people every minute, who to go to when this is inefficient?"

"Tell them this, don't tell me, I don't care about it anyway...... I don't care if you have one more or one less! ”

"You're not right...... "What does this mean?" Contini laughed. ”

"Monica, I think this kid is pretty good, people work hard to serve you before and after the saddle, and you have to give a little bit of appropriate sweetness." Agnes said, "She knows your situation, if this kind of person is not controlled by others and finally gets it, what dangerous things will happen?" She is a woman, and I am also a woman, and this matter must be understood by each other. Her heart is all on you now, and she is probably willing even if you let her die, but on the other hand, what if one day she dies and her mind is not on you but on someone else? Will I want you to die? ”

Contini was really speechless, and he remembered that his mother and Monica were the most like-minded among these people: according to her unbearable ambition and various means, it seems that Monica has accompanied her to please Agnes on various occasions such as choosing clothes and shopping, otherwise how could there be such a strange thing of a mother helping the secretary talk?

"It's not easy to arrange, is it? If the grape trellis falls, something will happen......"

"So you have to give it a little sweetness...... Is there no way for a man to please a woman when he marries home? Agnes said hatefully, "If you can't give shares, you can't give a little bit of house and jewelry?" Although she has a high salary, her job is worthy of this salary, and now she needs something extra to compensate for the feelings, the house jewelry can solve some problems, and other problems can be solved appropriately, of course, it can't be solved in the way of Vivian and Adriana, you can do it yourself, I am good for you! ”

Contini understood, and obediently walked behind Agnes, rubbing his mother's shoulders and saying, "You have to speak...... You'll have to talk to other people about the pros and cons, and I always feel like I'm making excuses for stealing food, what if the grape trellis is upside down and can't be picked up. ”

He had just rubbed a few times, and Agnes had already bared her teeth and cried out: "Okay, okay, don't want you to rub, you can't even match your father's level, let alone compare with Monica." ”

"I understand, it turns out that she still has the ability to rub her shoulders, when can I let him rub it for me."

"Anytime, but not until after the engagement! The engagement must be the most frustrating time for the little girl, and I will come forward to tell you......" said Agnes, "Now you just have to say it to me, do you have any ideas?" Are there any feelings? ”

"How do you let me answer this? Say yes, it seems like I'm a bit of that...... Say no, it seems that I am too unkind. ”

"Don't be sad, isn't it just a secretary, what should you do, no, what do the beautiful secretaries of the big conglomerates do?"

On September 27, Contini, as the Italian state envoy, visited the Far East in a formation with the Count Cavour as the flagship, which included the newly commissioned heavy cruiser Trieste and the light cruiser Babiano, which were built earlier than the same period in history due to the original funding of the United Group, and were completed and commissioned in June-July 1927.

The first leg of the trip was North Africa as usual: seven days ago, there was new news about Libyan oil field exploration, and the prospective recoverable volume increased by 30%, which suddenly pushed the valuation of Libyan oil fields up, and even pushed the share price of Union Bank up - now everyone knows that if Italy develops any new project, the first choice must be to find Union Bank for financing, and after opening up the New York branch, Union Bank's dollar deposits have swelled like balloons.

In the last 200 million US dollars in the last foreign exchange war, Contini got 100 million with stocks and crude oil shares as collateral, and then the US branch of Union Bank provided the remaining 100 million, and the two sides had a prosperous relationship.

Up to now, there are more than 150,000 Chinese workers and their families working in Libya, and Huang Xinguo's education has also flourished, not to mention primary schools, and even junior high schools have been established. At the same time, following the tradition of Continy's military national education, military national education was promoted in all schools for the children of Chinese workers in North Africa, where boy scouts were trained to obey commands, respect for division commanders, and love for leaders. Who are the leaders? Huang Xinguo naturally did not dare to put himself in the position of leader, and the leader he introduced was Contini.

I think that His Excellency the President is not only a good friend of the Chinese, but also the spiritual leader of all Chinese workers in North Africa - the President is also the boss! Of course, he assigned himself a new role: China assistant to the president, and the general principal of the North African Chinese Workers' School.

In view of the fact that he was very effective in managing the Chinese workers, and that he was familiar with the situation in Italy, and that he was a sincere member of the Youth League, Contini also recognized this fait accompli and arranged a new position for him: the representative of the Chinese Chinese Workers in North Africa.

Therefore, Huang Xinguo now has two titles: the mud leg calls him Mr. Huang, and the intellectuals with a little culture call him the chief representative.

At present, the general deputies are still very cautious, and do not dare to form a political party, but only dare to mobilize among the intellectuals of North Africa, and establish a "three-banner important ideological study society" and emphasize the need to spread the ideas of fascism and nationalism to the country, but there are really not many people, and there are only 26 people in the full fight, but all of them are intellectuals, and they are all intellectuals, and they are all intellectuals. The first and most valuable consensus they reached was that they were prepared to implement this idea in a subtle way in the classroom.

The mud-legged and laborers may not learn what the "three flags" are, but these growing students will definitely understand it in the future. Huang Xinguo has received a promise from Contini that as long as Chinese workers can do the job, some technical positions in Libyan factories, docks, and ports can be filled by Chinese in the future - His Excellency the president does not discriminate against Chinese, and even said that after a certain number of years of service, he can also issue special policies and issue "green cards" to recognize that those Chinese workers who meet the conditions can live in Libya. Huang Xinguo doesn't understand what the green card is, but he understands it, which shows that Italy is ready to conditionally recognize the residency rights of Chinese workers, which is a remarkable achievement.

Contini couldn't help but be shocked, because the Chinese workers actually planted vegetables in potted plants in the non-oasis area of Libya, and the soil in it was all silt dug up by dredging in the port, and it was not a big road commodity like potatoes, it was pure green vegetables, and the scene was not small, there were traces of large-scale spreading. This ability is said to have frightened the Italians, and Toth admired it very much, thinking that it was a "miracle on earth", and stated that the Agency had to harvest as much as it needed - the vegetables that Italy ate were all shipped from the mainland, the Soviet Union, and Turkey, not to mention the high price, and were often easy to spoil in the summer, so how could it be harvested as well as the current harvest.

So the Chinese workers have another way to make money, planting vegetables - the mother-in-law can make money.
