"Leader, I don't think there's anything wrong with studying nursing, that's what I think......," Contini explained, "Judging from your assassination, we still have a lot of enemies lurking inside and outside, and you need a reassuring medical staff by your side, and it is natural for a daughter to care for her father, and it is obviously not possible for the prime minister's daughter to be an ordinary nurse, but I think it is understandable to serve the prime minister, it is much better than doing nothing at home, you know, how powerful those tabloids are out there now!" ”

Mussolini nodded, thinking that Contini was right, that caring for the general patient was obviously out of character, and that it was natural for a daughter to care for her father—a serious job. But after thinking about it, he shook his head, "No, no, Ida is going to get married in a few years, and the whole thing is like to follow me." ”

"She's only 16 years old, and she's been married for many years."

"16 years old is not too young...... Many Italian girls take on the burden of the family at the age of 16, and besides, she still has to go to school, at least for another 2 years, and at the age of 18 she will reach the legal age of marriage. Mussolini suddenly laughed and patted Contini on the shoulder, "But Calais, you are right to study nursing, even if you can't serve your father, you should serve your husband." ”

Contini: How do you take this for yourself? In fact, he didn't expect another layer of relationship at all, Mussolini secretly kept a lover in Rome, which was hidden from many people, and naturally from Ada's mother Rachel, the two often had trysts in Mussolini's office, and if Ida was with him, it would be inconvenient to do this, so he cleverly avoided it.

Mussolini didn't seem to see his embarrassment, but went on to himself: "Ida is 16 years old, and it's almost time to find a boyfriend...... I told her about the last time you talked to Vivian, and she didn't mind, and her mother also had this attitude - who hasn't gone before? Just be nice, after all, I'm the prime minister, and she can't just find someone to marry. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Contini with a smirk: "I don't know what you think?" ”

"I'm ......" Contini momentarily messed up, "I...... Isn't that what she should have been asked of? ”

"Calais, we know each other so well, I won't go around in circles...... I am not speaking to you now as a leader, as a prime minister, but as Ida's father. Mussolini suddenly became pleasant, and his face was full of smiles, "Ida still likes you very much, it is rare to come home on the weekend, and when I talk about your news, my eyebrows flutter, I can see it very clearly as a father, as for Vivian and her children...... Oh...... And the Adriana who went to Switzerland to accompany her mother, this is not a big deal, not to mention that Ida has seen them and calls them sisters, I don't think there is much obstacle to this matter...... Man, isn't that all there is to it? You are so rich, let alone raising two more families, even raising a few more is a trivial matter in my opinion. ”

Contini could only smile and laugh, unable to say a word - isn't this kind of thing getting darker and darker!

"What's the matter, do you think about it? Of course, I'm not forcing you, this kind of thing still needs to be happy with each other, you and I are willing, but isn't there still time...... Mussolini patted him on the shoulder, "It's more than 2 months before the summer vacation, you can take Ida out to play again, if you don't think it's easy to arrange, it's okay to take her to Switzerland to see the world - some things are much better than guessing with your own eyes, don't you say?" It takes a process to say that acceptance is acceptable, and if you are familiar with it, you can accept it better and easier...... You can be a godfather, and Ida can be a godmother. You can rest assured, no one dares to chew their tongues. ”

"Yes, Leader."

"Don't say yes, it's not an order, you have to say good or bad......"

How dare you say "not good"? Contini hurriedly said without hesitation: "Good! ”

"That's right!" Mussolini laughed happily, and no longer continued to entangle with Contini on this matter, but jumped back to the topic just now, "Since you are graduating soon, it is necessary to come to the government and the party to work, of course, you still continue to manage the United Group." I have always had the idea that you are a young leader of the Party on the one hand, and a theoretical and academic authority on the other, and I feel that you can be the Secretary General of the Party......"

"No, no, no, leader, I'm too young to hold such an important position?"

"You can't just look at your age, you have to look at your ability, your level, and your work performance, and I think you can do it."

"This ...... "Actually, I don't think our party should have such a post ......as secretary general, and even if it does, it should not be separated from the position of leader - it will cause misunderstanding among the outside world, cause confusion among the comrades in the party, and cause certain unnecessary political troubles and ambitions......

Mussolini nodded, suggesting that he continue.

"You see if this will work, we should reform the system and create the post of general secretary, and you will also be the general secretary - I went to the Soviet Union last year, and Stalin also held this position, and he is a well-deserved leader of the Soviet Union, and as for me, if you think it is appropriate, you can arrange for me to work in the secretariat, under the leadership of Rossi or other comrades."

"General Secretary?" Mussolini pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, "You can consider it...... The Secretariat is also necessary, but Rossi cannot lead you - you are the youth leader of the party, higher in rank than him, and you are the one who leads him and not the other way around. ”

"This ......"

"That's it, you will be the party secretary-general, and Rossi can be the deputy secretary-general and the prime minister's chief of staff!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to pick up such a big responsibility for a while."

Mussolini patted him on the shoulder: "Don't you always tell people that you want to do something great in the future...... I think let's start with the Secretary-General. ”

This sentence scared Contini into a cold sweat, and he quickly stammered: "Leader, you can't listen to other people's slander, I ......"

"I know, I know...... Out of the way, out of the way...... I also communicated with your father, we always have to be old, whether it is the position of the leader or the position of the prime minister, we will definitely hand it over in ten or twenty years, who will it hand it over? Mussolini suddenly lowered his voice, "Anyway, I want to hand it over, why can't I hand it over to you?" If you marry Ida in the future, you will be half of my son, and your children and grandchildren will have to call me grandpa, and we will be a family! What's wrong with me handing over power to you? ”

Well, he was trapped by Mussolini again, and he had to complete the task of getting Farinaci down - so that he could take over as secretary general, and he also promised Ida about it, and I don't know what the little girl thought, Contini only felt that he was in a mess.

After returning home, he immediately talked to the old Ciano about the matter, and heard that Mussolini was safe and sound, and the old Chiano was also relieved, but he had a different idea about getting rid of Farinaci, and complained: "Calais, you shouldn't be involved in this matter, you can't even be busy with the company's affairs, how can you covet this secretary general?" Besides, what good is the Secretary-General, and he has no real power! He put Rossi in the position of deputy secretary-general, and you still can't take care of it. ”

"Father, I am not uncommon in the position of secretary general, and it doesn't matter if Rossi is in power as deputy deputy secretary general, but it is a necessary way for me to normalize my identity." Contini smiled, "You have all seen your son's means and abilities, and the only constraints at present are seniority and party status, and a young leader or theoretician is not yet in the eyes of you revolutionary veterans, but the secretary general is different—this is the head of the institution, the middle level of the office, and I can also use this to get in touch with all kinds of people." If I become the secretary general, I can continue to serve as a youth leader, and besides, with this organization in hand, I can stuff the backbone of the alliance into it. What if Rosie was in charge of them? ”

Old Ciano was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to reminisce: Mussolini could use Rossi to eminister his son, and his son, in turn, could use a young secretary to elevate the deputy secretary general - this is a good way to see the tricks.

"What are you going to do with Farinachi?"

"What does he like besides power? Money? Wine? Woman? ”

"I like them all!"

Contini burst out laughing: "It's so simple...... Alright, you can wait to read the newspaper. ”

On 21 April, the Roman police "cracked" the assassination of Mussolini: the Assassins were conspirators instructed by the Communists, and the whereabouts of the leader were revealed to the Assassins by a prostitute......

But within Fascisti, the inside story behind the news was even more intense: the prostitute got the news only because Farinacci told her when she was drunk, and then the other party told the Assassin. Farinachi flatly denied this, claiming that he did not know the woman at all. But the problem is that the police also have photos of Farinaci going in and out of other Fengyue venues and getting drunk...... Although none of the women in the photo were involved this time, at least the fact that Farinaci liked to go in and out of the Fengyue premises and get drunk is undeniable.

Therefore, it is generally believed that this is completely true, and the reason why Farinachi flatly denied and denied it was entirely because he was drunk and confused.

Mussolini was "furious" and was supposed to be transferred to "justice", but after many people interceded, he was finally dismissed from the post of secretary of Farinaci. When discussing who should be the new secretary general, the elder Ciano suddenly stood up, thinking that Mussolini should be the general secretary, and the position of secretary general was too sensitive, he thought that having an executive committee member was enough, and in a chorus of approval, Mussolini became the general secretary as he wished and drove out Farinaci, while Contini became the secretary general as expected.

Everyone understands this operation.

As for why the CCP was framed against the CCP, the reason is clear: now that all the political parties have been subdued by Fascism, only the PCI is still sparing no effort to oppose Mussolini, so in this round of manhunt, a large number of Communist Party leaders, including the leader of the Italian Communist Party, Gramsci, were arrested. <
