"What mission do you need help with?" Old Ziano asked suspiciously.

"Miss Ida is coming to Rome...... Contini's first sentence shocked the old Ciano, and then he said slowly, "The leader asked me to take Ida to have some fun and go shopping during the summer vacation, father, you must know what kind of logic is behind this, right?" ”

When it came to this, old Chiano could only nod awkwardly: "Uh...... This one...... This one...... The leader did tell me about it, and I thought he was joking. ”

"Father, it's true, leaders don't joke with me, and a father doesn't make such jokes about his daughter's future life." Contini sighed, "Do I have a choice in this matter?" ”

Old Chiano wanted to nod directly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, didn't he pit his son? Hurriedly said: "Calais, things are not as sure as you think, the key is to yourself, if you don't like it, I can help you push it off, our family will not rely on this means to get to the top." No matter who you come to see, if I feel the right fit, I will definitely try to fight for you. Of course, in turn, you have to be considerate of the leader, from a father's point of view, he has done nothing wrong, he wants to choose a son-in-law who is excellent in all aspects for the sake of his daughter's future happiness, he does not directly give you Idasse and force you to accept it, he just wants the two young people to get to know each other. Even if you don't have this consideration, with the relationship between me and the leader, you can't take his daughter to play and go shopping during the summer vacation? ”

Old Chiano's words are quite objective, accompanying the prime minister's daughter and stammering it is an opportunity that other flatterers can't grab, not only in Italy, but also in the United Kingdom - if Winston Churchill hadn't stammered with Violet, the beloved daughter of Asquith, who was about to become prime minister, and added a relationship with the other party, how could he suddenly jump out of the cabinet? As for Churchill's later abandonment of the other party and finding a new love, it was entirely after the position was secured.

Hearing the elder Ziano say this, Contini is at least half relieved: the father does not seem to trade the happiness of his children.

Although Contini doesn't know how Ida sees himself now, he is sure of one thing: in history, little Ziano and Ida are not only a combination of golden boys and girls in the eyes of outsiders, but they themselves can also talk about true love, although there was a little awkward in the middle, but in the end they were still reconciled, and when little Chiano was finally finished, Ida pleaded with her husband at all costs, and after little Chiano was shot, she also took her pregnant belly and took out and published the "Ciano Diary", which recorded a lot of precious information.

In one sense, he is grateful to Ada, and although he has crossed over to little Chiano, the fate and feelings of historical figures are not easy to betray or ignore.

The father and son discussed for a long time, and they studied the whole thing more clearly: as the old Ciano originally envisioned, Dai Vicchi's words were just the fuse, and the deeper reason was that Mussolini wanted to consolidate and expand his power, and Contini's performance and ability in the past year made him very optimistic, so he had the idea of recruiting as a wing, it was easy to recruit others to beware of henchmen, and it was not easy to recruit Contini as a confidant, so Mussolini thought of tying the two families together through marriage. Before this decision was made, he had to test Contini's loyalty again, and there was an attempt to merge the Youth League into Fascisty.

At the end of the day, Mussolini didn't really care if the 10,000-odd youth league could join the fascist coalition, he cared about Contini's attitude towards him, from accepting orders from the beginning without hesitation to presenting these ideas and opinions the next day, and he was very satisfied with Contini's performance - both loyal and resourceful, flexible and not blindly loyal. This impression score ultimately decided on two things: first, to make the members of the Youth League voluntarily join the fascists, as Contini had modified; Second, put Contini on the list of sons-in-law's priorities and put him in contact with Ida.

From Mussolini's point of view, he also had to guard against someone approaching his daughter and blackmailing him in the future, which would hardly work for a truly ruthless politician who didn't recognize his family, but Mussolini didn't want to give anyone else that chance right now.

The matter of accompanying and playing must come down, and many political forces and patterns will be reshuffled - high-level politics is so delicate.

Contini thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just accompany Miss Ida to hang out and have fun, she's still a child, if I make her happy, she goes back and talks to the leader, some people will be unlucky." ”

The elder Chiano naturally knew who was going to be "unlucky": if Mussolini had received good feedback from Ada, and in return for the kindness of Ziano and his son, the noisy Dai Vikki would have been sent away by him - this is the routine and secret of political bargaining.

The next day, through the mouths of Rossi and Marriner, the news of the "quasi-concubine" spread secretly among the top leaders, which was very important news for many people - not only meant that the relationship between Mussolini and the Ziano family was closer, but also involved the arrangement of future successors and second-generation leaders.

On July 16, more important news came out: the top leaders of the Youth League voluntarily joined the fascist group, among which Contini himself was personally introduced to the party by Mussolini and Balbo, and the day after the oath of joining the party, Fascist issued a document announcing the establishment of the Youth Ministry, with Contini as the head of the youth department and the fascist youth leader, and at the same time arranged other backbones of the youth alliance to work in the youth department, and only arranged an old fascist backbone, who was also the liaison officer of the "Youth Daily" as deputy minister.

At the same time, the Fascist organ newspaper published a long editorial article in which it solemnly repackaged and solemnly launched Contini's theory that "only Fascist can save Italy, and only by loving Fascist and supporting the leader is true patriotism."

This is a clearer signal to the top management: the second-generation successor selected by the leader has officially surfaced! Although the political successor is the most unreliable position in the world, there are still many people who do not hesitate to break their heads in order to compete for this position. Of course, no one in Fascist is fighting with Contini for the time being, because everyone else is too old, and before the birth of the Youth Ministry, the youngest existing middle-level deputy minister was 34 years old, and Contini was only 20 years old! In terms of family background, ability, and deeds, no one can really grab this position!
