Chapter 53: The Political Vortex (5)

In late April, new terms such as family planning, anti-abortion, and anti-contraception were put in the newspapers, which immediately caused an uproar among the people, with many people agreeing with it and many opposing it. Generally speaking, there are many objections among the intellectuals, especially some public intellectuals, who have the courage to ask for the lives of the people, and strongly oppose the government's interference in private life, accusing it of "bad ideas," "playing the piano," and "killing people indiscriminately."

However, the general trend of the development of events is good, and the gossip about Mussolini and Contini's peachy news has suddenly become much less, and everyone's attention is focused on family planning - those with few children are worried that they will be heavily taxed, and those with more children are happy to be able to reap some benefits, and the civil backlash against anti-abortion and anti-contraceptive measures is not so strong - when you are pregnant, you will give birth, except for some scandals and childbirth, the people at the bottom do not mind these things.

Mussolini was overjoyed when he saw that he didn't chew his tongue anymore, and was about to deal with it at will, but Contini shook his head: "Leader, the fire is not enough, you have to add a fire!" ”

"What fire?"

"The government should deal with these liberal intellectuals who vehemently oppose them in the newspapers as appropriate."

"Why?" Mussolini shouted, "These are all scholars, although they can't pee in the same pot as the government and the party, but they can't be easily moved, and moving them is stabbing a hornet's nest......"

"This hornet's nest must be poked ......," Contini said, "when the government comes out with a policy, they instinctively oppose it, which means that they don't have the authority of the government in their eyes, they don't have the authority of the leader, what are such intellectuals going to do?" It does us nothing good except to mess with the minds of the people. ”

"However, the mouth grows on people's bodies, and they love to say that it is their freedom!" Mussolini complained, "I have had enough of them, but these people are always in the ...... of academic disputes."

"Universities are not places outside the law, they must be managed, and intellectuals must also obey the fascists, and they must obey the three banners!" "Listen, how did they oppose this policy? They did not refute this policy from objective financial resources, not from objective institutions, but in the abstract that this destroys the people's right to choose and freedom, what is freedom? As I have repeatedly emphasized in the Youth Daily, there is no freedom if you want to be rich and strong! Increasing the population and increasing the national strength is the only way for the country and the nation to prosper and develop. Don't even have this kind of realization? Not even at the height of alignment with the government and leaders? How can you make them teachers and scholars? ”

Mussolini looked at Contini carefully: "Calais, this is not quite your style, you are also an intellectual, and there are many teachers from your University of Rome here." ”

"It's a trifle, I'll arrange it, but overall can't be indulgent! Leader! Contini stepped forward, "After establishing a solid position in politics, we must also gain a firm foothold in the ideological field, and we cannot but purge erroneous ideas and erroneous public opinion...... Since these liberal intellectuals are always against the party and the government, they should all be dismissed, not hired, and not allowed to submit articles to the newspapers. ”

"Calais, what have you been stimulated by lately? Why is the method so drastic? ”

"In troubled times, we should use heavy codes, and overkill must be corrected!" Contini disagreed, "You can be expelled from teaching, you can be banned from contributing, but there is one rule, you can't kill people!" No matter how reactionary and destructive, you can't kill it! Leader, don't you think the current public opinion environment is too relaxed? Otherwise, how can there be so many things chasing after the wind and shadows? When we cleaned up the remnants of the Socialist Party, the results were still very good, but then the people in charge began to relax, and the sense of discipline was weak and the revolutionary concept was not strong, which gave these so-called liberals an opportunity to take advantage of it. You must know that some people receive foreign subsidies to work for foreign forces! ”

Mussolini couldn't help but nod.

"Of course, we can't deal with intellectuals together, we must advance them in a conditional and step-by-step manner." Contini smiled, "I think the liberal arts professors who are relieved of their education, devote themselves to scientific research and development, and never talk nonsense, want to raise their salaries and provide more promotion positions, and can only play tricks - why not have them?" It is necessary to maintain pressure and gradually reverse the tendency of the Italian educational circles to emphasize literature and ignore reason. Liberal arts enrollment should be reduced by half on the current basis, and all the vacant positions will be recruited for science and engineering! In addition to ordinary secondary normal colleges, other liberal arts colleges do not need to be newly established, but the government provides additional subsidies for science and engineering colleges and science and engineering majors! ”

"You're cutting your own life...... Calais. Mussolini laughed, "I remember you were from the history department." ”

Contini shrugged: "How many of the students who graduated from the history department went on to work professionally?" Isn't it about cutting your head and burrowing into the government? What do you want such a person to do? Train a few more engineers, guns are man-made, steel is refined - this is the root of strength, otherwise why would I always go to Germany to recruit engineers and technicians? Do you see that I went to a professor of philosophy, a professor of history, a professor of law in Germany? You don't need one! ”

Mussolini hesitated, but could not withstand Contini's instigation and prodding, and finally issued a decree in early May: a purge of liberal intellectuals in the liberal arts and a reward for the development of science and engineering.

The Minister of Education objected in horror, believing that it would provoke students to take to the streets in protest.

"Don't worry, those who can't be organized, all the talents who can be organized are in the Youth Alliance!" Contini confidently said, "If I can't control this, what kind of youth leader am I?" ”

After these regulations were introduced, the debate in the press became stronger...... Many newspapers denounced the government's brain-dead decision-making, but it didn't take long for them to be shut down for "slandering the government", and as for the student demonstrations, they were indeed not organized after the Youth League ordered them to stay still......

In addition to Mussolini's daughter and illegitimate child, Rachel also gave birth to two other sons: Vittorio and Bruno, who were only 10 and 8 years old respectively, and he laughed when he heard this: "How is 4 enough, I want 6!" Since I want to engage in family planning, then I have to take the lead, I have to have 2 more sons, at least 1 son! ”

"Six?" Contini was also stunned, "This indicator is not easy to complete......"

"Nope! You're right, it's helpful to have more children, now there are 90 million people in Germany, almost 200 million in Slavs, and only 40 million in Italy, which is too little, and the size and number of nations must be greatly increased! There are more people, and there are more people who can go to the front line to fight in the future! Mussolini enthusiastically peddled his theories of 8 million bayonets.

"In order to increase fertility in a meaningful way, research and sales of all contraceptive products in the country must be suspended, fines will be imposed on those who sell them, and abortions will not be allowed unless there is a medical certificate that is not good for health, and abortion victims, couples and doctors will be prosecuted and dealt with as if they were murdered......"

Mussolini's eyes widened: "Calais, you won't, right?" What's the bad idea? ”

"Leader, this is doctrinal...... You can ask the Pope to contribute a sum of money, don't you believe you see if the Pope will agree? ”

"That's right...... But these radical policies will cause strong controversy......"

"It's about controversy, the more intense the better, so that the newspaper can discuss and scold vigorously, and then gather a group of experts and scholars to publish ......articles," Contini smiled, "The United Group will announce the establishment of a United Welfare Home to raise those abandoned children and take care of street children...... Let the discussion of this matter overpower the peach news! ”

"What about the second point?"

"The second is to suppress strongly...... The Prime Minister's Office will refute the rumors, and will never admit that there are rumors, and those who dare to commit crimes against the wind will be resolutely dealt with: they should be detained and detained, they should be fined, and they will be honest after a few more times. "I'd suggest a two-pronged strategy, plus the police and intelligence agencies to track down and see who is behind the scenes!" ”

"It seems that this is the only way."

"The prestige and power of the government will definitely suffer, but it doesn't matter, the time will be fine for the leaders to arrest a few corrupt elements......," Contini winked at Mussolini, who realized: Isn't this a targeted anti-corruption?

It seems that the president has finally matured politically......

In addition to Mussolini's daughter and illegitimate child, Rachel also gave birth to two other sons: Vittorio and Bruno, who were only 10 and 8 years old respectively, and he laughed when he heard this: "How is 4 enough, I want 6!" Since I want to engage in family planning, then I have to take the lead, I have to have 2 more sons, at least 1 son! ”
