Speaking of Rachel's trajectory has also quietly changed, originally in history, she did not move to Rome until 1926, and had been living in Milan before that, but because of Contini's sudden rise and Mussolini's unsparing "care", Rachel's family moved to Rome very early, except for the large villa, other food, clothing, housing and transportation, including the housekeeper, were all arranged by Contini, the "quasi-son-in-law", Mussolini did not worry about these at all, which won the favor of Rachel, the "mother-in-law-to-be".

Although Mussolini likes Ida very much, but in fact he is bent on the "revolution", Ida was brought up by his mother, and Rachel has absolute influence in front of her, Mussolini bragged in front of Contini that he would help him settle the affairs of Adriana and Vivian, in fact, he also did Rachel's ideological work, and then Rachel went to talk to Ida about this.

Perhaps in the eyes of onlookers, the actions of both Mussolini and Contini are typical of the past and the other...... But Rachel is not so ignorant, in his opinion, there is a difference between Contini and Mussolini, Mussolini's affair is his own pursuit, and Contini's affair has other reasons entirely - if it weren't for the fact that he was considering marrying Ida, he might be engaged to some famous family now.

As for why he married Ida, Rachel could also figure it out: it was not simply a matter of clinging to the powerful, but both sides taking what they needed - Mussolini needed Ziano and his son to help him consolidate his position, and the Ziano family also wanted to use Mussolini's power to expand their power. In a sense, both parties need each other, and then on this basis is the relationship between the two young people.

Fortunately, Mr. President is young, promising, capable and considerate, and Ida feels very good about Contini, so Rachel is quite open-minded about the affairs of the two anchors, after all, there are so many beauties around the president - there are countless female stars under the joint advertising and joint film alone, and many people are looking forward to having a spring breeze with the president, but they have never heard of any scandals, and Ida is too young to let the handsome and dashing president go on day by day, right?

After listening to Contini's intentions, she sighed: "Calais, in fact, I don't mind the past, since this son is him, of course he can only admit it, and it is best to arrange to go to Switzerland out of sight." The problem is not this...... The problem is that the leader has found another lover, and it is said that he often has trysts in the Prime Minister's palace or other small hotels, and I heard the gossip not long after I moved to Rome, what do you want me to do? ”

"Again?" Contini's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Can't you listen to other people's provocations, leader......"

said so on the lips, and I already understood it in my heart, but I just pretended to be confused.

Rachel waved his hand: "I know better than you what my husband is and what virtue he is in front of women...... Calais, don't you want to learn from him in the future! It's okay for me to suffer all this alone, but I can't let Ada suffer so much! ”

Contini dared to say anything, but he only promised: now he understood why Mussolini was horrified when he heard about it with Rachel - Rachel was already suspicious of him and Aeletta Safanti, but he had not yet grasped the exact handle.

He smiled meaningfully, and then wondered if he should inform the leader of this variable. Mussolini always thought that he was doing a clever job, and others didn't know, how did he know that there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at him?

It's a pity that before Contini could think about whether to say it or not, something that gave him a headache happened a few days later: rumors spread outside, all around Mussolini and Contini's private lives, saying that the two were looking for lovers, had disorderly private lives, raised illegitimate children, and even exchanged female companions with each other, and after a few days of fermentation, there were even upgraded rumors that the two were playing with the same woman and even the ** war.

If these rumors are believed, then Mussolini and Contini will be an out-and-out Italy**...... Not to mention that Mussolini was so violent that even Contini couldn't sit still, and his trip to North Africa was postponed again, ready to start solving these problems. Contini is a headache for this, and he believes that he is caught in a political vortex that will be difficult to get out of

Ji'an, who was in charge of the dark one, also had a headache: this time the rumors came and went without a trace, there were no newspapers or a single kind of rumor, it was completely spread by word of mouth, and he also inquired about some of the situation, and found that the original rumors were not like this, and later the more outrageous and exaggerated they became—strangely, the more outrageous and untrustworthy the rumors spread the fastest. Perhaps the propagators themselves don't believe it, but that doesn't stop them from refining once, twice, or even many times, and putting all sorts of deeds into it.

As for hearsay, adding fuel and vinegar, and spreading falsehood, is that completely human nature, and we should investigate them one by one? They can't do it.

So, is it useful to just refute rumors? Let's not mention that Mussolini and Contini originally had shit under their butts, many things are not clear, not to mention that this kind of peachy news is the favorite thing of the Italian people, how can it not go to the ship? So it's useless to refute rumors.

"Leader, I don't think this matter is simple, there are people behind it...... How did it start and spread all at once? Contini said, "There must be a black hand behind it, and it is not possible to refute rumors, at least it has no substantive effect." ”

"What do you say?" Mussolini's face was ugly, and yesterday he went back and was scolded by Rachel for the night - not for the illegitimate son who went to Switzerland but for his current mistress, which made the leader speechless, and languished like a frosted eggplant overnight.

"There are only two ways to debunk rumors, the first is to create other topics to divert attention; The second is to suppress it by forceful means. ”

"Distraction?" Mussolini's eyes lit up, "Is there any way to divert attention?" ”

"There should be universal representation, universal relevance of interests. The last Corfu incident was a good diversion of attention, but now it is not appropriate and there is no proper excuse...... "Contini muses, "there is no excuse to think that it is a matter of topic, and I would like to propose a family planning policy in Italy." ”

"Family planning?" Mussolini laughed out loud, "Can you still plan to have a child?" It's not supposed to be that ...... in the crotch"

Contini shook his head: "Of course it's a lot of trouble to make people not have children, but I think it can be done to encourage them." My idea is that the government will introduce a policy to encourage childbirth, for those who only have one child or do not have children at all, to increase personal taxes, two can be reduced from the beginning, the more children are born, the more the reduction will be, and more than four will be subsidized and encouraged by the state, so as to increase the population of Italy by half in 20 years as much as possible. Speaking of which, this is also a tradition of ancient Rome, and we can put it under the call of the great revival of the Roman Empire. ”

"Calais, it's going to cause an uproar, it's a big topic for finance, taxes and government spending."

"That's what you want!" Contini smiled, "The ideal Italian family must meet at least the criteria of a leader: 4 children!" In addition, the United Group will also provide supporting help, abandoned babies, all kinds of illegitimate children, street children are raised by the United Group, we want to build welfare homes, orphanages, nurseries, this is a demonstration of giving back to the society, but also can reduce the unemployment rate! ”

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......
