Chapter 29: Revolution (7)
The black-uniformed commandos swarmed up and quickly removed the cargo from the cabin, in stark contrast to the noise, laughter and even brazenness of the rest of the National Socialist Party, who were silent and hard-working.
On the surface, it seems that this is a wooden box for the accessories of the Fast and Furious motorcycle, and when it is opened, it is full of munitions, although it is an old product, but the maintenance is very good, and it does not affect the use at all, and everyone is smiling. When he saw that there were still 6 French Hatch Chase heavy machine guns with tripods and matching bullets, Rom, who was also at the scene, was about to drool: the "Treaty of Versailles" stipulated that Germany was not allowed to produce heavy machine guns, and the SA couldn't get a single machine gun even after racking their brains.
It didn't take long for him to quarrel with Goering, who wanted at least half of the weapons to be allocated to the SA, but Goering didn't like him at all, and the two of them quarreled in front of Hitler.
RΓΆhm shouted: "Chief, Herman has only more than 100 men under his command and has so many weapons to occupy so many weapons, and our SA has thousands of men but only a few weapons, this is not fair!" β
"Leader, not only look at the number of people, but also look at the mastery of weapons, the degree of training and the loyalty to the party. Goering sneered unceremoniously, "Besides, if I give you weapons, will you use them?" Are you professionally trained? Know Hatch Cash? Know urban warfare? β
Hitler frowned and looked at Rohm, and then at Goering, whose face was flushed like a bull, and suddenly felt very embarrassed: he was a veteran of the First World War, and he knew that weapons could not be effective without training, not to mention those stormtroopers who had not received military training, and even he, a veteran of the First World War, did not know how to play machine guns, let alone the French Hatch Case! However, what Rohm said also has a point, more than 100 commandos are armed to the teeth, and thousands of them have very few weapons, which may not be reasonable.
And he also saw that the temperament of the commando was completely different from that of the stormtroopers, obviously forbidden, well-trained, and a complete team, and its tacit understanding was even greater than that of the troops he had served in, and they were very eye-catching in the crowd in black uniforms, at first he thought it was because of the Roman guard clothing, but later found out that it was not, this is a unique military temperament, of course, that clothing also added a lot of points.
Of course, this suit was designed by President Contini himself, perfectly drawing on the SS uniform and achieving "localized innovation", in fact, Contini, who is very lame in painting, can only draw a rough sketch, and other specific design and plate making work are all completed by Milan fashion designers, and constantly adjusted according to the requirements, the level of Italian clothing design is understood by everyone, and it is only higher than the German level. Contini had money again, so he called eight designers to work together in one go, and soon came up with an "innovative" finished product and equipped it.
The last appearance of the black paratroopers was enough to attract attention, and the black guards were even more majestic, and it is said that even Mussolini was moved to think that he should replace this kind of behavior for the leader's guard?
Of course, Contini usually doesn't wear these clothes, and he only does Xunfei when he trains at the base. The rest of the time he has a full set of clothes on Zegna (Zegna) limited customization, not only does it not cost money, Zegna in turn has to give the United Group a sum of money - when advertising, Zegna can say "the joint choice of President Ziano and the management of the United Group!" This advertisement has obtained a full range of clothing products for more than 100 senior management of the United Group, which is also a major benefit of the United Group.
Not to be outdone, Gucci took away the clothing, accessories, and purse business of the wives of female and male managers for free, on the condition that Vivian and Adriana would be their ambassadors for one year β what others could not do, Contini could do with a phone call. Gucci only hated President Contini for not having a wife, otherwise it would be a big gimmick, so after bringing Ida to Gucci last time, the whole company was almost crazy with excitement, and when Ida returned to school, he was followed by a car of clothing, jewelry and bags, both for Ida and Mussolini's wife Rachel. said that it was sent by Contini, but in fact, it was all paid by Gucci.
There are also people who have the idea of promoting the leader, but unfortunately although Mussolini loves vanity, he really does not dare to compliment in taste, and he is like an upstart when he wears good clothes, how can the president of Contini, who was born in an aristocratic family, has a personable, handsome and dashing demeanor, and his bearing is extraordinary at a glance.
Hitler was still very simple about his taste in dress at this time, but as soon as he saw the clothes brought back by the commandos, he liked it, thinking that it was the ideal uniform in his mind, and he didn't know how much more beautiful than the traditional Prussian field gray, and he also wanted to make this costume a uniform of the National Socialist Party, but this was the Italian version after all, and he was also worried about how to promote it in the party, but Contini directly said that there was no need to bother, if you like to send a batch of clothes to the National Socialist Party, it is - you don't need to promote it for nothing. But it's too late now, the revolution is about to break out, how can you still have the heart to toss on your clothes?
If you look at the stormtroopers, it's almost a collection of street hooligans - it's awkward to look at it. What's more, Hitler had a strong feeling that the commandos were carrying goods as if nothing had happened, but in fact a loose encirclement had been formed, and if there was a sudden attack, it would be enough to wash the blood here, and don't ask him why he suddenly thought so, this is the natural sense of smell of a veteran who has been on the battlefield. Dangerous!
"Herman, come here, I'll talk to you." Hitler beckoned Goering aside and said, "There are so many munitions, the commandos will definitely not be able to run out, for the sake of everyone working together for the revolution, give a part of the stormtroopers?" β
"Chief, I was going to divide them up, but Roma can't say that!" Goering looked aggrieved, "Where was he when we were training in Italy? I risked my life to fly a plane that was supposed to be manned by 4 people here and make a forced landing in the field, where is he? He didn't figure out the situation at all! This batch of arms is not yours and mine, it is sponsored by Calais, and he wants to divide half of it when he opens his mouth, why doesn't he go to Calais to open his mouth? Will he bird him when he goes to an Italian house? Also, does he know how to use machine guns? Calais gave me advice, what does Roma know? β
"How does Calais say to use it?"
"Go find a big truck, reinforce it with thick steel plates, strengthen the protection capacity, and then build a crane gun and transform it into an assault truck, and charge with the troops! In the city, there are no tanks and direct-fire artillery, and they don't even want to stop us! Then the assault trucks were equipped with electric horns to broadcast to agitate the people, and they could also carry a small number of unarmed comrades! β
Hitler gasped: this is a crazy idea, Calais does have a hand in revolution!
