"Calais, your countermeasures are strong, and I support your actions." As soon as the press conference ended, Mussolini, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, got the news and said with a smile, "This is a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Socialist Party!" In addition, what do you think of the fact that the comrades of our party are tired of the deceitful situation of the bourgeois parties and propose to reform the parliamentary system and set up a national committee for great fascism? ”

Contini was stunned: what should have come is finally coming, Mussolini's plot to replace parliament with a grand fascist committee is not a day or two, no wonder this time he is so active in supporting himself, and his feelings are used as a gun again.

Thinking so, he could not express his opposition, but immediately echoed: "Leader, this is in line with my ideals. The Italian people cannot be the masters of the country through this hypocritical parliamentary representative system, the Grand Fascist Committee is the expression of the real people being the masters of the country, is the real people's democracy, I raise my hands in favor! However, I suggest that two basic preparations should be made: first, we must be prepared for theory and public opinion, so that the Italian people can understand that this new type of democratic system is an innovation in revolutionary theory and a leap in the Italian spirit in the new era; Second, there must be a practical and political basis, as the current ugly performance of the Social Democrats is a vivid footnote...... So I suggest that we wait until this lawsuit is over. ”

"Your suggestion is good, I will consider it carefully." Mussolini felt that it made sense: the Grand Fascist Committee was a major event in the political life of the Italian people, and it could not be launched casually, and this opportunity and time must be grasped well.

"Young Master, although your counterattack measures at the press conference sound very enjoyable and tough, in fact, we can't stand it, as long as they go to the lawsuit...... We ......"

"Uncle Antonio, I know that I will lose the lawsuit, but they didn't go to the lawsuit so quickly, I am confident that it will delay them for a few months, and it is a big deal to settle it with them after the judgment...... I'm not going to pay my bills. Contini grinned, "But there must be momentum, if we don't even have momentum, then we are completely finished." Do you think these small and medium-sized enterprises dare to sue with the United Group? ”

"But now the headless lawsuit of the Socialist Party may not be won, and the Socialist Party is said to hurry up to find evidence from Germany!"

"Don't be afraid, I have a way to control the Germans, isn't it just an Albert? Can he still turn the sky upside down? Contini nodded confidently, "I'm going to send a telegram to the French ambassador to Germany, I'm very interested in the German garbage last time, and this time I'll give me another three million - but we'll specify what you want!" ”

Antonio was shocked: "Didn't you promise the six major consortia not to move their enterprises?" ”

"Don't move them, but I didn't promise not to move the others, Albert's injustice comes first, and I fight back as a matter of course!"

The French ambassador has been in a good position for the past two days: although the amount of $3 million is not large, it has subtracted the cost of keeping the pile in the warehouse, and second, it has somewhat reduced the burden of sending troops, and $3 million is enough for the expenses of the garrison for two months. For this incident, the foreign minister also sent a telegram thanking himself.

Just as I was happy, the cold Italian telegram came again: the United Group continued to ask for 3 million "garbage", and the only requirement was self-selection.

The ambassador was overjoyed, as if he saw the golden ticket and a bright future beckoning to him: the domineering president is always very considerate in doing things, and he gave 20,000 US dollars in errands last time, and this time he asked for a designation, so he had to give at least 50,000 yuan, right? - You can't make so much money as an ambassador all your life!

The ambassador's actions were very efficient, and the day after receiving the telegram, the French army launched a new round of forced demolition in the Ruhr area: the last forced demolition was still more or less angry, and the bad luck was worth it or not, and it was cut off in one handful, and this time there were buyers and tickets waiting, and everyone came up patiently, slowly demolished, and kept the original appearance as much as possible - only if the service is done well will there be the next business.

The German business community was simply mad, and a snowflake telegram was sent to the United Group, accusing Contini of breaking his promises.

Contini only replied to them with a few simple words: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and whoever caused it is in charge, I suggest you ask Albert to go!" ”

When I asked Albert, after learning the news, the real power people in the business community almost overturned the presidential palace, and they all scolded Albert for why he had nothing to do? Who told you to meddle in the affairs of the Italians?

Albert was dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering, he was not angry with the Weimar government about Contini and the United Group's meddling in Munich, and he wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that as soon as he revealed the news to the Socialist Party, he was attacked by Contini so harshly. Now he believed what Sickert had to say about Contini - he was a daring man, and it was better not to tease him.

After receiving Albert's assurances that he would no longer interfere in the United Group, the business community, which wanted to cry without tears, immediately sent a telegram to Contini, strongly urging him to stop!

Stop, of course, is stopped, because the French demolition work has already been completed, according to the designation of the United Group: 3 medium-sized chemical plants, 2 ball bearing factories, 2 power stations have been cleaned, and Contini even asked the French to loot the Junkers aircraft engine branch - just to use it to update the equipment of United Aviation.

Now it was the turn of the Social Democrats to be dumbfounded, and in order to wait for their evidence, the Rome District Court postponed the trial from April 5 to 10 and then to the 15th, but until April 18, the Social Democrats could not hand over the evidence they had originally claimed.

It was not that the Social Democrats refused to hand over, but that there was a sudden change on the German side, and the Weimar government in Germany, which had sworn that the evidence was conclusive, suddenly changed its tone, and Albert openly stated that the government only suspected that the coalition group was involved in this matter, and did not have any actual and direct evidence.

As a result, the Social Democrats were dumbfounded, and they were put in the air by Albert.

At the time of the trial, the Socialist Party was defeated only by the words I had heard, according to reliable sources, according to hearsay, etc. - in the final analysis, all the accusations of the Socialist Party about the coalition group were based on the evidence of the German government, where there were detailed interrogation records of the German side, relevant materials, rosters, arms, etc., and the Socialist Party did not get this evidence, and even if there were, the Germans now denied that they did not, what could they do? The heart of jumping off the building is gone!

On April 20, the Socialist Party, which had no choice but to watch the court pronounce its verdict: the case of defamation against the defendant Social Democratic Party of Italy by the United Group of Plaintiffs against the Italian Social Democratic Party, because all the defendants' sources could not verify and there was no substantiated evidence, the defamation was established, and the defendant was ordered to apologize solemnly and pay 40 million Italian lira (US$2 million) in compensation.

Even more tragic was the case outside the courts, since the Social Democrats had been unable to produce favourable evidence: the factories which had cooperated with the Coalition were immediately determined to purge all the Social Democratic employees, and with the exception of a few who preferred to quit rather than quit, the majority of the employees wisely made their choice between work and party affiliation – every day the Youth newspaper was packed with statements about the withdrawal from the Social Democratic Party, and later the news of the dissolution of the entire branch was published. Those members of the Social Democratic Party, mainly intellectuals, who were not included in the list of those who had been dismissed, were bitterly moved by the "slander" case, and also said that they wanted to draw a clear line and voluntarily leave the party......

By late May, the once-prominent Social Democratic Party had plummeted from 100,000 at its peak to less than 10,000, and its influence and membership were even less than those of the Italian Communist Party, which had splintered back then. As a result of the party's delay in paying the reparations, the coalition filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court to terminate the party's activities.

On 3 June, the Social Democrats were suspended, the Socialists were shut down, and the Grand Fascist Committee was soon to be launched......

Ps: I went out today, and I came back very late, so there was only one more, and I made up after that, I'm very sorry......
