At noon, Contini met with Ciano Sr. after the meeting and decided to report on today's meeting with Mussolini, presumably he was also very concerned.

Hearing about "preferred shares", civil aviation, airports, etc., the old Ciano had a smile on his face, this kind of thing was supposed to be done, and the reason why he didn't remind Contini at the beginning was to see if he could understand it himself - is it really so easy to take advantage of the government's cheapness? However, his son's response was very unexpected, not only did he find a lofty name like "preferred stock", but he also drew inferences from others to continue to find the way of the chief and deputy secretary of the War Department to see if he could get some more airports.

Contini even thought of the quota, and then took 5 million preferred shares, 3 million for the main position of the War Department, and 2 million for the deputy position, and the dividend level was the same as that provided to Mussolini - Mussolini could also say this lame excuse for relatives.

But when it came to dealing with Matteotti, old Chiano frowned and shook his head: "Calais, you have been fooled, you have been confused by the interests in front of you, do you know how much trouble you have caused?" In fact, the leader is not upset because Matteotti scolds him, does he care if someone scolds him? He was because of other political struggles. ”

"Uh......" Contini was speechless, he found that he was indeed a little lightly: Matteotti was finally assassinated by Mussolini, and it also provoked a great anti-government movement, and Mussolini was in a hurry to calm down, but that was in 1924, he thought that he would not be deeply involved in the fire now, but he still underestimated Mussolini's determination and resentment.

Seeing that he was silent, the elder Ziano continued to mention: "As for the Pope, the so-called good relations are certainly one thing, but this is not the most important thing, do you believe that the leader really cares about the faith and religious life of the Italian people?" If that had been the case, he would not have been so vehemently opposed to religion as before, and had turned purely out of political interests. The most important religious interest now is not at all the religious life of the Italian people - who believes and who is stupid! The leader simply wanted to continue to merge the Italian Catholic Party, which was clear at the internal meeting...... Blame me too, I forgot to tell you this, next time I will find a way to show you the minutes of the meeting, you are the assistant minister of the Ministry of Communications, you can contact. ”

Old Chiano is very cute, obviously he disclosed secrets to his son for personal gain, and he preferred to be crowned with the sign of assistant minister, and now Contini has a list of titles on his business card: President of the Alliance of Young Italy, President and Editor-in-Chief of the Italian Youth Newspaper, Assistant Minister of Aviation and Transport, Chairman of United Motorcycle, Chairman of United Airlines (Preparing) - this is a young man who is not even 20 years old......

Contini then remembered the news that Fascist had recently merged with the Italian Nationalist Party, and found that he sometimes looked too far at the problem: Mussolini did merge these parties smoothly in history, but the problem is that they have not yet merged, and things will change – this is called the butterfly effect.

Now he finally understood: the focus of the confrontation between Mussolini and Matteotti was not at all superficial things, but the need for parliamentary power struggle, and the more parties and forces Fascist merged, the greater the pressure and the greater the possibility of marginalization as Italy's old party. Now that Fascist has firmly grasped the right wing and has begun to infiltrate the middle forces, and the left wing is splitting itself because of the Communist Party and the Socialist Party, it is not the style of the Socialist Party not to do something at this time, and Matteotti is nothing more than a pawn floating on the surface.

He sneered: "Now it seems that it only took 2 months for the leader to say those words in the house, and before the New Year, some people regretted it and couldn't wait to jump out." ”

Old Ziano nodded: "You have to be a little more careful about politics, and make good use of it is an outlet for take-off - just like the last time you welcomed the leader into Rome, if you don't use it well, you can be thrown to death, and even if you fall to death, no one will sympathize with you, they will only laugh at you for deserving it!" ”

"I feel that although I have been taken advantage of by the leader this time, deep down I am grateful to him for giving me this opportunity...... "Contini laughed, "whether your son can make a name for himself in politics and win a young leader or parliamentarian will depend on this blow." ”

"You?" Ciano Sr. looked at Contini suspiciously, "What ability do you have and what ability does Mateotti wrestle?" Behind the people is the entire Socialist Party, just your youth league that is not even a serious club? You don't expect any help from Fascisty, it's impossible, and even I can't take a position casually. ”

"Just this alliance! Also, I have money! ”

Old Chiano almost didn't squirt out the steak that had just been stuffed into his mouth: "Son, it's not a question of whether you have money or not, you can do whatever you want in politics if you have money?" If so, all of Italy would have to listen to the Agnelli family, but in fact it is not. ”

"Father, I think you misunderstood, when I say rich, I mean that I have enough financial resources to do this, not to use money to overwhelm my opponent."

"Tell me what you think?" [Readers who have not seen the relevant content after "Iron Cross" 404 can pay attention to the prestige public account "Moon Shadow Wutong" to get the follow-up plot]

"I have a preliminary plan, but I have to think about it again, and I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"You think about it slowly, there's no rush in this matter, we still have time." Old Ziano asked puzzledly, "I wonder why the leader chose you to do such a thing?" Even if you have to be chosen, why don't you tell me? Did someone give me eye medicine in front of the leader? ”

"The way of leadership is what I learned." Contini came without being shocked.

"You? Can't tell! Although it is true that the leader did not toss when he was 19 years old, how could he come to learn your routines? Old Ciano was angry and funny, "You haven't made some money lately, and it's swelled to the limit, right?" Young people need to keep a low profile. ”

"I'm not exaggerating, I really learned from me, some time ago for the newspaper printing and distribution, I instructed Bo Ji!" Contini looked at the nobody, and told all the newspaper's first tricks through Potti, and the old Ciano twitched, he didn't know that his son still had such a dark side.

"Father, of course this method can be done through Glandini, but how much does it cost to ask Glandini? Asking Poti directly to come forward not only can also play the role of the police chief, but also respond faster, better and more direct than the police chief, as for the price, I didn't pay a penny, and even the alliance came forward to invite you to dinner or Po Ti paid. ”

"Po Ti, this stupid kid is really hopeless." Old Ziano shook his head with a smile, "Grandini probably has a headache for this son to death, right?" ”

"It's not right for you to think so, Po Ji still makes money, the first speculation is the method I instructed, and the second speculation is I take him to play...... He took out 300,000 lira from his home and enjoyed it for more than 2 months, and he didn't do much other work, and now it's 1 million lira, do you think he suffered a loss or took advantage? ”

was told by Contini that the old Ciano was also suspicious, and even considered whether he would be able to handle it if Mussolini left this matter to himself? If it can be done, how much will it cost the other party? After thinking about it like this, it suddenly dawned on me that it was really a good move for the leader to let Contini come forward: not to mention saving money, but also to get a free consultant - the old man can't watch his son jump into the fire pit, right?

"Then you think about it carefully, and when you think clearly, tell me, by the way, the assistant minister has to come to the Ministry of Transportation to attend an official meeting once a week, and you can't be absent."

"Yes, Your Excellency, but you have to talk to the teacher, or I will be out of skill."

"By the way, what do you want so many weapons for?" Old Ciano asked curiously, "I remember that this matter is not in the business plan, you say, why did you add this temporarily?" ”

Contini looked helpless: "I said I think it's funny, do you believe it?" ”

"I don't believe it, you think it's enough to play around with a few things, and if you look at the amount you're asking for now, it's almost enough to equip a battalion - albeit just a few foreign weapons......"

"It's a long story......

Contini calmly sold a pass, causing the old Ciano to shake his head.
