Chapter 36: Goebbels (4)
Without the parliamentarians to speak, there were already quick-eyed staff members who took the leaflets to the venue, and one of them simply read them out:
“…… When a high-ranking Italian general was killed in a foreign country, some political parties led by the Socialist Party actually persuaded the government to swallow its anger and make a big deal if it couldn't bear it. If ordinary Italians were killed, they would probably have to pretend to be incompetent, right?
The leaders ordered the dispatch of troops for the sake of national dignity and national honor, and the Socialist MPs also pretended that it was inhumane to sacrifice more people for one person, and that it was necessary to consider the overall situation, consider the impact, and maintain the hard-won peace......
Phew! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Won't your heart ache?
We would like to shout out to the Italian people:
How did you vote for such a political party that did not dare to proclaim its national prestige and protect the people? If the same fate befalls you one day, can you expect this corrupt, degenerate, weak and incompetent socialist party that can only shout empty protest slogans to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests?
A country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones!! When our dignity, sovereignty, honor and security are trampled upon, we don't need a government that is not ashamed to protest! You will abandon him in the end!
Is life so precious, peace so sweet, that the Italians will not hesitate to grovel to them in exchange for them?
No! Never! Never!
We are not going to war with the Greeks, we just want to show that the Italians are not easy to bully, do not think that Italy is the old Italy that is poor and weak under the leadership of the Socialist Party, and the Italian people have stood up under the leadership of the leader and fascist! Italian planes, artillery and warships are not ornaments! Let the Greeks wait and taste the wrath of the Italians of our new age! Taste the wrath of the new Roman Empire!
At this moment, our mood is closely linked with the Italian soldiers on Corfu, and all the patriotic Italian people, we breathe and share the same fate, if your blood has not cooled, if your patriotic enthusiasm has not disappeared, if your self-confident pride will never flinch, if your fighting spirit will never be fearless, please join us and fight together for the government and the dignity of the country!
Long live a glorious, rich and indomitable Italy!
- Central of the Young Italian League!
November 12, 1923"
Dealing with domestic political parties and actually going directly to the plane to drop leaflets? This method is also absolutely amazing! All the councillors were stunned, but then their emotions were stirred up by the leaflets, and they applauded.
Matteotti trembled with anger: "Bastard, do you know what you're doing? ”
"What did I do? Aren't you brazenly attacking the government to silence public opinion? I'll show you today, patriotic speech can be freely expressed......" Contini smiled slightly, "There is no Italian law that prohibits leaflets, right?" Mr. Matteotti, why didn't you say it when you handed out leaflets before? ”
That's right! The airplane is owned by the United Group, the printing house is owned by the United Group, and the money is still owned by the United Group, so why can't it be done?
Mussolini stood up and applauded, giving Contini a thumbs up for a good job, and exclaiming: "Gentlemen, you see, the Italian people are behind us, and the citizens' representatives have expressed their support for the government with firm and forceful action!" ”
"Nope! It's what you manipulated. ”
"Mr. Matteotti, you must be responsible for this statement, otherwise I would not mind filing another complaint with the Constitutional Court for your gross interference with the expression of the will of the people, for violating the Constitution – is it only for you that it is called the expression of free will?" "In Italy, only patriotic fervor drives us, no one can threaten or force us, you can't, and neither can the Socialists!" Comrades, do you say? ”
"Yes!" More than 100 citizen representatives all stood up and stomped their feet and shouted.
"Okay, let's go!"
After Contini finished speaking, he led the people and prepared to leave.
"You ......," cried one of the Socialist MPs, "why are you in a hurry to leave before you finish speaking?" ”
Contini turned around: "I think you have made a mistake, we are citizens' representatives, we are here to listen to the parliamentarians and put forward our opinions, not to be questioned, and it is not your turn to question me - you are elected by the people, even if you cannot represent the will of the people, do you still want to manipulate the will of the people and question the people in turn?" ”
There was a lot of laughter in the audience, and everyone remembered that in order to prepare for the election of parliament, Contini had resigned all four titles of assistant ministers - although this was not an official in the first place, it is better now, there is no official status at all, and the youth minister and youth leader are only party positions, and it is not the turn of the Socialist Party to dictate.
The question is that this young man is so arrogant before he becomes a parliamentarian, and after he really becomes a parliamentarian, will he still need to hold parliament in the future?
Mussolini thought that he had the will of the people, and Contini made a fuss for a while, and did not take the Socialist Party into account at all, and he waited until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole meeting was adjourned, and the meeting was resumed in two days according to the situation.
By the next day, with the concatenation of the Youth League and Fascist, together with the incitement of leaflets, newspapers, and radio, the whole of Italy was already in an uproar, and the Roman students took to the streets with slogans held high, and surrounded the headquarters of the Socialist Party under the escort of the police.
Faced with the Councillor's angry and distorted face and his request to arrest him immediately, the policeman spread his hands and said helplessly: "Sir, I sympathize with you. However, you see that I just arrived at the scene, and I don't even know who beat you, how can I arrest someone? Besides, isn't the random arrest of people your most resolute objection? I can't even find an eyewitness, how can I convict? You can't just say it, can you? ”
Seeing him so serious, the other policeman almost didn't laugh out loud: just now the two of them were standing at the corner of the alley, smoking casually, while watching the students perform an all-out martial arts parade with great interest, and only when the fight was almost over did they stand up to "maintain" order - this is what Grandini emphasized that "it's okay to beat people, don't really kill them" They came out to take care of it, otherwise who would worry about this kind of idle business?
This councillor is also unlucky, he originally had a special carriage to pick him up, but today because of the tandem of the Youth Union, all the carriage guilds unanimously agreed: resolutely not to pull this group of scum of the Socialist Party who surrendered on their knees!
At night, Mateotti's house was set on fire by patriotic students, and the fire truck arrived at the scene 20 minutes later, but either because there was something blocking the alley and had to take a detour, or because the fire hydrant could not be connected to the water, until it was believed that Matteotti's house had burned down, the firefighters rushed up to extinguish the fire and avoid the danger of spreading......
