Chapter 32: The First Handshake (2)
"I'm Adolf Hitler, the current leader of the German National Socialist Workers' Party, and I heard you want to talk to me?" Hitler walked up to Contini with a smile on his face, his right hand stretched out.
Contini shook the other party's hand tightly and said in a slightly flattering and appreciative tone: "I listened to your speech just now, and I read the newspaper two days ago and saw your party's policies and ideas, and I deeply agree with it, so I took the liberty to come to visit...... It's a bit abrupt to invite you over in this way. β
"No, no, no! Anyone who shares and supports our ideas is my comrade, and I should communicate openly and honestly, without being abrupt, and I would like to thank you first of all for your strong support for our party. Hitler looked enthusiastic, "I wonder what you call it?" Listen to your accent and don't sound like someone from near Munich......"
"I'm not German, I'm Italian!"
"It turned out to be a comrade from all the way from Italy, and I am glad to meet him! I and all the comrades of the Party are very encouraged by the recent success of the revolution in Italy, and now I feel very cordial when I see the Italian comrades. β
"I'm also very happy...... "My name is Calais Azzo Ziano, you can also call me Calais, a student at the University of Rome and currently president of the Young Italian Alliance, my father is Costanzo Ziano, the current Italian Minister of Transport......"
Hitler was originally full of smiles, but after hearing this, he suddenly became very shocked, and then his face became very exciting, first in awe, and then the whole person was so excited that he almost jumped up-what he just said that the revolutionary comrades just said casually, but they didn't expect to catch a big fish, isn't the Italian Minister of Transport a fascist official? The son of their family is not a revolutionary comrade, who else is a revolutionary comrade? What's more, the minister's son came to support himself, what a thick thigh!
He flattered in an exaggerated tone: "You are Mr. Ziano?" I know your name! I've always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you here today, it's such an honor, you are even younger and more handsome than I thought! β
Contini was surprised: "You know me? β
"I don't know, but I am very familiar with your deeds, and I have always followed the dynamics of the Italian Revolution." Hitler waved his hand excitedly, "Your deeds of organizing the students of Rome to welcome the leader into Rome are well known, and I admire them very much, and what makes me admire even more is the article "One Doctrine, One Party, One Leader" published in the newspaper, which I found a translation and carefully read it no less than 30 times! It's so well written, it's so pertinent, it's so suitable for the German people, it feels like it's made for the German people, and I say what I think, on the road to revolution, Italy is now the teacher of Germany! I have a lot to learn from your country. β
Contini was embarrassed: "You won the prize......"
"It's not a flattering statement, it's all from the bottom of my heart! I have incorporated many of the ideas from the article into my own speech, and at the same time added some content according to the current situation in Germany. β
"For example?"
"A nation!" Hitler said sincerely, "The Italian people are fortunate to live in a united country, while the German nation is divided, and I myself am an Austrian, and I deeply feel that the German nation will perish if it is not united and united!" β
Contini nodded yes, smiling in his heart: all his theories are pirated, but this time and space has theoretical priority!
The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they talked, the more they found that they had more in common, and they almost wanted to be a confidant, during which Goering came to call him: "Boss, are you going to talk to everyone again?"
This request was directly rejected by Hitler: "Let the others speak, I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Ziano, and I feel that there is no end to what I have to say." β
When Goering came to invite him for the second time, Hitler simply turned his head and said to Contini: "Can you please tell your comrades a few words about your revolutionary experience, about the new atmosphere after the Italian revolution, and to boost our fighting spirit?" β
Contini smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid this is not possible, I am visiting your country on behalf of the Italian authorities, if I make semi-public political remarks, it will be considered interference in the relations between your country, coupled with the relationship between my father and my teacher, it will cause unnecessary trouble...... At this tense juncture, this kind of rhetoric will make your country's officials find you trouble. β
"It's me who ignores, it's me who ignores ......," Hitler suddenly asked, "I wonder who the Venerable Master is?" I wonder if I have the pleasure of visiting? β
"The current Italian Minister of Aviation, Mr. Duhei, I followed him to your country to inspect the civil aviation industry, and I will return to China after tonight, and you can visit when you come to Italy next time, and I will introduce you to you."
The excitement in Hitler's face was even better: there was a father who was a minister and a teacher who was a minister, this was really a coveted social position, and people were really angry than people.
"I still have something to do, and I can't keep the teacher waiting, so I have to say goodbye first." Contini saw that the time was almost there, and he was ready to leave, and before leaving, he took out a business card from his pocket, "I will leave you a business card with my address and telephone number in Rome, which is my newspaper - if there is anything I can do to help, you can just say, are we friends!" You can also come to me, and you are more welcome to visit Rome. β
"Okay, thank you very much, thank you very much!" Hitler was careful to put away his business cards.
Contini then took out a cheque for $10,000: "This is a little of my heart, I hope it will be of help to you and to the cause of your party, and I believe that under your leadership, the German social revolution will soon be victorious!" β
Hitler thanked him again and again, but the check was not pushed back, he really needed a sum of money, and the $10,000 greatly relieved his urgent need. An upper-class boy who has money, social status, and identifies with his ideas is something he is very eager to befriend. When Contini took his leave, he not only delivered it to the door himself, but also beckoned Goering to help arrange a carriage to take Ziano back.
"This is my right-hand man, Hermann Goering."
"Nice to meet you!" Golingba stammered up and shook hands.
Contini smiled slightly and said, "I seem to have heard this name, let me think about it......" After thinking for a few seconds, he pretended to have a sudden realization, "I remember, you are a Luftwaffe pilot, or an ace pilot, right!" It's you, two days ago I inspected Bavaria, Dornier, Junkers and other aviation companies, and heard about your deeds! I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you here. β
Goering was suddenly a little fluttering, he was so praised that he didn't know the whole world, nodded in agreement, but said: "Hey, that was a few years ago." β
Hitler glared at him and reminded: "Herman, this is the Italian revolutionary theoretician Monsieur Ziano, whom I often talk to you about. β
Goering suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Isn't this the one you say is very good at tossing...... Oh no, I'm not very good at talking, sorry sorry! β
Contini burst out laughing: "You're right, I do like tossing...... Welcome to Italy when you have time. β
"Okay, okay!"
After sending Contini away, Goering whispered: "FΓΌhrer, how do you know him?" β
"He came to the door himself!" Hitler waved the $10,000 check and "saw no, and gave us $10,000, $10,000 to be exact." β
"It's rich! No, that's generous! There are a lot of rich people, but this is the first time I've met someone so generous. Goering laughed, "With such a sponsor, I feel that our cause is very promising!" β
"This line must be maintained, I will come with you, others should not interfere, and it must be kept strictly secret from the outside world." Hitler confessed, "You should keep in touch with him more, discuss more topics of common interest, and tell each other about our situation in a timely manner, but do not disturb his normal life." β
"Why me, shouldn't you be there yourself?"
"He's interested in you."
"Just because I was a pilot?"
"Yes!" Hitler noted, "His teacher was the Italian Minister of Aviation, Mr. Duhei, who was interested in aviation, and you are a pilot, so this is a good starting point." β
"I understand, isn't it just to tie up this young master, I can do it!" Goering patted his chest.
"You're wrong." Hitler said solemnly, "Don't let people misunderstand that we are villains who tend to cling to the powerful and clinging to the powerful, we are eager to be friends with like-minded people and learn from him the successful experience of the Italian Revolution, so that the friendship can last forever." In terms of stuttering, don't people feel enough in Italy? β
The two are trying to figure out how to get on good terms with Contini, but the latter is also quietly thinking about how to establish a close and friendly relationship with these two men - this is enough to blow up the history of the world for the next 20 years!
