Chapter 8: Potti's Mission
Poti didn't come to the meeting, he was drinking with a group of fox friends in the bar next to him, and when he heard that Contini had sent someone to look for him, he didn't dare to slack off, and arrived at the venue with three points of drunkenness.
Contini couldn't hold back a smile and said solemnly: "Comrade Potti, the alliance has unanimously decided to set up a newspaper, called "Italian Youth Daily", which is the organ newspaper of the alliance, and is also the propaganda position and public opinion mouthpiece of the alliance......
"This ......" Bo Ji looked at this and that, he knew that the other directors were not satisfied with his sudden appearance as this vice chairman, and any person in the crowd was better than him, but since his father said that he wanted to follow the son of the Ziano family, coupled with the long-term exposure to his father's side, his eyesight was not lacking, and he knew that he had a few pounds and taels, so he immediately refused with a thick tongue, "I can't write articles, you better ask for another master." ”
"I didn't ask you to write an article, we'll take care of it, and now there are some other conditions missing."
Bo Ji's eyes rolled, and then he suddenly realized: "That...... That's still ...... How much money is missing? I...... I'll take care of it. ”
"I don't want you to pay, but you have to ...... like this," Contini whispered in his ear before agitating him, "That's the way, do you dare to do it?" ”
"Dare, why not! It's all about me! After listening to this, Bo Ji was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, patted his chest and said excitedly, "Listen to me, in less than 3 days, I will finish all the printing and paper matters!" Hurry up and write an article and wait for it to be printed! ”
"Then we'll see, you have to act sooner!"
Faced with Poti, who left in a staggering manner, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what task Contini had arranged.
Contini didn't explain, but only took out his own manuscript: "This is the inaugural word that I plan to put up, and in addition, the article asks everyone to find a way to collect it as soon as possible, focusing on this topic, explaining to all young students and intellectuals the direction and future of Italy in the future, focusing on the key points, highlighting the center of "stability and order", emphasizing the changes brought by the leaders to the history and political life of the Italian country, and the article must have a certain academic and theoretical atmosphere, so as to highlight our cultural literacy and spirit of exploration, But it can't be too academic, I suggest that it be positioned in the tone of popular science - the connotation and essence of universal education 'one ism, one political party, one leader', and you can lash out at those politicians you are not used to, especially those stubborn figures in the Liberal Party and the Socialist Party do not need to be polite to them, and openly scold, now no one dares to trouble us, and the "Youth Daily" must be a hit! ”
The crowd became excited, said yes in unison, and then dispersed, but no one asked Botchey how to solve the printing and newspaper matters.
Contini was still very appealing, and the next day the "Youth Daily" rented a house, put up a sign, and the newspaper staff, reporters and editors were also in place - all the cadres of the journalism, law, politics, and philosophy departments of several universities, who were in charge of the slogans and big-character posters, and the staff in charge of design, comics and illustrations, and photography, all of whom were young students in their 20s, full of enthusiasm and youthful vitality.
In the evening, the first draft of the first issue of the first issue was completed, and everyone gathered together to discuss, while considering the layout of the layout, and discussing interesting things in the school and society, the editorial department was very lively. In the middle of the night, the first round of manuscripts has been reviewed by the editorial department, ready to be revised and adjusted the next day, and then everyone disperses in twos and threes, many still walking in pairs - talking about love and soaking in a girl or something is very common in college, as long as it does not delay work, Contini does not care, after all, this is also a revolutionary need.
In the wee hours of the morning, most of the students had fallen asleep, and the time for Bo Ji Gongzi to shine his majesty had finally arrived.
"Don't move! Don't move! ”
"Hands up!"
With a few shouts, more than 20 heavily armed policemen rushed into a printing shop, and the typesetting workers and printing workers inside were nervously busy, and they were startled by the sudden arrival of police.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Suspect you of printing illegal publications! All of them are detained and brought back to the bureau for review! ”
"Don't, don't...... We are a regular newspaper, registered for the record. ”
"Isn't there no illegal act after the record?" Potty picked up one casually, talked about the layout, and asked sharply, "What is this written about?" 'It is completely unwise for the king to let Mussolini form a cabinet, which is tantamount to conniving at and appeasing the ...... of the mob', "Forward" is not small, and dares to oppose the general policy set by His Majesty, what is this kind of behavior like if it is not stopped? Take them all! ”
The police immediately escorted away all the more than 20 workers working inside, and the officer who led the team said flatteringly: "Mr. Boji, do you think I can see it okay?" ”
"I think it's okay, I'll tell my father, you're doing a good job!" Potti looked at the rumbling machine and the neatly stacked newspapers next to it, which were ready to be printed, and said, "Seize all the machines and take all the blank paper with me!" ”
"What about the ones that have already been printed?"
"Keep dozens of copies as incriminating evidence, and sell the rest as waste paper, and the money will be yours!"
"Yes! Be! ”
A total of 5 similar incidents occurred that night, including the "Forward" A total of 5 newspapers were seized, nearly 100,000 pieces of blank paper fell into the hands of Bo Ji, and more than 100 printing and typesetting workers were detained, all on the same charge - "printing illegal newspapers and periodicals, opposing the king, insulting the leader", and a tabloid newspaper really did not publish political news, and he was also charged with "printing pornographic newspapers and periodicals, and corrupting morals", but Bo Ji was very measured, Only the factories for printing the left and tabloids were built, and none of the newspapers controlled by the rightist parties were touched.
Early the next morning, many phone calls came into Glandini's office, and the news inside drove him mad — a crowd of people asking him why he had seized his newspaper and printing house. He thought about it for a long time, and felt that he had never given such an order at all, and it was really difficult to argue, so he had to agree to investigate. I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, it was actually my son Bo Ji who went down to make trouble in the name of his father, so angry that he roared like thunder, and almost didn't bite the steel teeth to pieces, and after thinking about it, I felt a little strange, although my son was a little squirming, but he didn't look like a person who could do this kind of thing, there must be something strange in it.
When the poor police inspector Grandini was looking for this rebel on the streets, Potty was triumphantly asking Contini for a reward, and when he heard that the old man was angry, he was a little weak, and subconsciously wanted to hide, but Contini told him lightly: "Don't be afraid, your father won't do anything to you about this?" Not only are you right, but you are meritorious, you are helping your father, what are you hiding from him? ”
"Why don't you come with me?" Po Ji, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth last night, is now a little scared, and can't help but plead.
Contini shook his head: "It's not that I won't go, if I go, the nature will change, and your father will definitely suspect it...... You're going to resist, manly man, what's the big deal? You are now the vice-president, the second-in-command of the youth alliance of tens of thousands of students in Rome, and there are more people in charge than your father, what are you afraid of? There is a leader in everything! Didn't the leader meet you that day, shook hands with him, and took a photo? I'm afraid of that now, how can I do big things in the future? ”
Then he taught Bo Ji a bunch of words that could be used to justify, and finally said: "Don't be afraid, just go, I will come forward to add fire to you at the critical moment." ”
As soon as he heard this, Boji became more courageous, his anger thickened, his legs did not tremble, and he went to see Glandini with great spirit.
