Contini thought that this matter would be over, and was about to leave for North Africa, when Antonio called him again: "Young master, you have to go back to the headquarters, there is a tricky matter." ”

Let Antonio say that it is tricky, it must be tricky, but when he returned to the headquarters, things were even trickier than he thought: there were two people sitting in the reception room, a woman and a child in his early 10s.

After a few glances, I finally reacted: this is very similar to the face of the leader! Look at that woman again, she is in her 30s, and her charm is still there, but there is an indescribable sense of vicissitudes on her face, and after the vicissitudes of life, there is no cringe of ordinary women, but there is a pungent energy.

"Uncle Antonio, what do you say?"

Antonio pouted at the other side, then lowered his voice and said, "This woman came and said that she is the leader's lover, this child is the illegitimate child of the leader, they have been living in poverty recently, and I hope we can take care of one or two." ”

Contini's brow furrowed suddenly: he knew that it wasn't a little money that was making Antonio difficult - if he could just use money to pass the time, he would definitely do it directly, and this matter involved the private life of the leader, and it was a time bomb if he couldn't get it.

Sure enough, as soon as the woman opposite saw him come in, she immediately stood up and said, "Hello, dear president, I am Ida Darser, and this is my child, Benito Albino Darser Mussolini. ”

"Mussolini?" Contini raised his eyebrows, "This kid has the same surname as the leader?" ”

"He is the son of a leader." Darther called out to his son, "Albino, come and see the president." ”

The child timidly shouted: "Your Excellency President, hello......" and then didn't know how to speak.

After listening to her words, Contini had already reacted, this is indeed Mussolini's lover, in fact, the two knew each other earlier than Mussolini and Rachel. Ida Darser was a daring woman of her time. When he was young, he went to Paris to study aesthetic medicine, and after graduation, he opened a health and beauty salon in Milan. There she met Mussolini, then president of the newspaper Forward (who was still a member of the Socialist Party), and the two soon fell in love.

Darser was a strong supporter of the ambitious Mussolini, and after Mussolini was expelled from the Socialist Party for advocating for war, she sold all her assets to help Mussolini start the newspaper Le Volitalia and gave birth to Benito Albino in November 1915. But before that, Mussolini got together with Rachel again, and even gave birth to Ida 5 years ago, of course, there was no legal marriage between him and Rachel, even after giving birth to Ida. This strange scene is partly due to Mussolini's chaotic private life, and partly to Rachel's character, who believes that Mussolini is not steady enough and undisciplined, and even if she has children, she has to think carefully about marriage.

In other words, Mussolini lived with two women and gave birth to children in just a few years, and what is even more disturbing is that after the start of the war, Mussolini was conscripted into the army, and he contracted typhoid fever before he could fight, at this time Darser knew about Rachel and put pressure on him to ask Mussolini to marry her and call himself Mrs. Mussolini, but this pressure backfired, and Mussolini and Rachel officially married.

After only a little more than a year of peace, Mussolini was wounded on the front line, and when he was hospitalized, two women arrived together and fought violently, and Mussolini, who was covered in bandages, was furious and rolled out of bed. Seeing that marriage was no longer possible, Dartser took Mussolini to court and demanded alimony in order to fight for his rights, a move that undoubtedly embarrassed Mussolini, who was full of ambition at the time, and after some quarrels, an agreement was reached that Mussolini would provide 200 lira a month as alimony until the child was 21 years old.

Contini knew what was going on: as Mussolini's power consolidated and rose to power, the restless Dharser begged to see him, was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital, and his 11-year-old son, Benito Albino, was forcibly sent to a boarding school. Since then, the mother and son have been separated from each other and have not been able to see each other until they die. Dharther died in a psychiatric hospital in 1937 and Albino in 1942 – all the consequences of Mussolini's torture, of course. However, history forked here, and the two did not go directly to the Minister of the Interior, but found themselves.

"I understand your intentions, Lady Dalther." Contini pondered for a moment, "I believe you are telling the truth, and I recognize this child as the son of the leader, but there is one thing we want to make clear, in what capacity are you going to ask for my help?" ”

"I ......," D'Archer was about to say "the leader's wife", but then when he saw Contini's serious and cold expression, he did not dare to speak, but hesitated.

"If you still want to ask me as a leader's woman, I don't care about it - I think you know that the leader is the highest authority in Italy, and many individuals' private lives have become national affairs, national images, and if you unscrupulously destroy his image, I am sure that there will be tragic stories waiting for you; But if you take a step back and ask me only as the leader's child, an illegitimate child, I can consider taking care of me, after all, I am now the secretary general of the party, and it is my duty to solve the leader's problems and settle my family. ”

"It's a child, it's a child...... Darther hurriedly said, "I don't think about it, I just want to give the child a better future, you see how much he looks like the leader, the teachers and classmates in the school can see it, they laugh at him, I don't want the poor child to be tortured...... Also, I was old, I didn't have any other means of earning a living, and all the little industry I had used was used to finance the leader's revolution, so I needed help. ”

Contini nodded: "It's good that you know this, but I'll have to talk to the leader himself first...... As a sign of solemnity, you can sit in here. ”

The phone soon rang in the Prime Minister's Office, Mussolini was at this time engaged in a fierce warm-up exercise with his new lover in the past two years, Aelita Safanti, when he heard the phone ringing, he was very unhappy, and he really wanted to curse after picking it up, Contini's voice had already come: "Leader, I am Calais, is it okay to take up 2 minutes of your precious time?" ”

Hearing that it was Contini's voice, Mussolini's fire could not be released, and he thought for a while and said, "Okay, you say." ”

"Ms. Ida Darser and her son are with me now!"

Originally, Mussolini was absent-mindedly listening to the phone, but when he heard the name Ida Darser, he jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail and shouted: "Ignore her, ignore her, she's a madman, she's a madman...... Get her out! Get her out! ”

The voice was so loud that Ida Darthor next to her could hear it clearly, and Antonio could see it clearly: the woman's fists clenched all at once.

"Leader...... Listen to me. "He also brought the court verdict and other materials, and my idea is that this matter cannot be handled simply, there must be a perfect solution." ”

"Do you have any plan, do you want her to destroy my reputation and my family again?"

"Leader, the result of categorical denial does not live up to expectations, and in the eyes of the blind and ignorant public, this matter will spread quickly, so I think the best way to deal with it is not to let him speak......"

As soon as these words came out, not only Mussolini was stunned, but Ida Dalser's face also changed drastically - this means to kill himself?

"If you want her not to speak, I can try, she has confessed to me to my face, her relationship with you is over, you have also told me, who has not passed? It's not a good idea to hold on to the past. But your son Albino is innocent, and I want to arrange it that way...... I sent them to Switzerland, and I took care of the rest of the economy, so that they could live a quiet life there, but I had to promise one condition - not to block the leaders and not to tarnish the country's image...... For your part, you have done your part as a father and as a humanitarian. ”

"Good, good, Calais, you're right."

Ida Darser also heard Contini's words and nodded busily: if she could live a life without food and clothing, she would not bother to go to Mussolini.

"So that's how I'm going to deal with it?"

Mussolini sighed: "Calais, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Madame......" Contini had just opened his mouth, and Mussolini immediately cried out again in horror, "Don't, don't ......"

"Leader, hiding is not the way to go, you have to let Madame know, if he knows that you have handled it properly, she will be happy......" Contini persuaded, "there are some things that are not the way to solve the problem, you must face them bravely, Madame's side I will go to say hello, I will go today, I will weigh the pros and cons and make it clear with her - but you must go home tonight, otherwise the grape trellis will be overturned and it will be difficult to clean up, Madame's temper you know." ”

Antonio next to him couldn't help laughing: Mussolini was afraid that Rachel would look true, but why did he marry her again when he was so afraid of her? It's really puzzling.

"Okay, okay, you must give me a call if you communicate well." Mussolini said, "I won't go out in the afternoon, I'll wait for your call at the Prime Minister's Office and talk well...... Don't get noisy. ”

"Don't worry, Madame, I still have a few words to say......"

Putting down the phone, Mussolini was sweating profusely, as if he had just finished a battle, and Aelita Safanti, who served under his crotch, complained in a mournful tone: "I hate it, I was hard just now, why did it suddenly soften?" ”
