Chapter 3 Circumstance

"Leader, this is the telegram that has just been received, and the situation in Rome is much better than we thought."

"Really?" Mussolini was overjoyed, and while quickly scanning the telegram, he danced exaggeratedly, "Comrades, I have good news for everyone, the Roman police system has decided to side with us!" ”

"Long live Italy!"

"Long live the Leader!"

Although everyone was shouting wildly, Mussolini still had to call the old Ciano to confirm: "Is the news reliable?" Don't be a deliberate trick spread by the enemy to lure us into the bait so that we can catch them all. ”

"No problem, leader, the telegram was sent to me jointly by Calais and Glandini, the latter has a little friendship with me, and should not lie, besides, with this telegram in his hand, if he lies, his political enemies will not let him go in the future, and Fakda will not spare him."

"Good, good...... You have done a great job for Fascisty. Mussolini's greatest concern was the obstruction of the local military and police, and although the Blackshirts had passed through Cremona, Alexandria and Bologna, and none of the troops or police along the way had effectively intercepted them, he was not yet aware of the dynamics of Rome.

"Fakda was originally going to issue martial law, but it didn't go ahead because of internal disagreements, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us." Ciano Sr. suppressed his excitement, "There is another thing that needs to be clarified, this matter is not for me to do, it is for my son Calais to persuade Grandini. ”

"Calais? ...... "Mussolini's mind suddenly appeared with the image of little Chiano, handsome and young, Calais is the nickname among acquaintances, "He is still studying in Rome, right?" ”

"Yes, but this kid can toss, he has joined tens of thousands of students in Rome to form the Young Italian Alliance, the self-proclaimed president, and is currently making a big splash in the city of Rome, jumping up and down, ready to welcome you, convincing Glandini that it is part of his plan, and he also heard the news that the desperate Fakda may extend an olive branch to us in an attempt to tide over the difficulties by means of a cabinet reshuffle, and he believes that the leader has high ambitions, is determined to create a new Italy, is to find a new way out for Italy, will never be in the same league as these politicians. ”

Mussolini was stunned by the old Ciano's words, and finally smiled: "Yes, he is right, I need all the rights, not this kind of reluctance!" ”

Old Ziano smiled secretly: what he said just now was true and false, and he put a lot of gold on little Chiano's face. First of all, there are only a few thousand students in the series of little Ziano, of which only a few hundred are hardcore supporters of fascism, and most of the rest are just people who watch the excitement and fear that the world will not be chaotic; Secondly, the Young Italian League, which was originally a grass platform, had fallen into chaos after the younger Ciano was taken away, and did not have as unity and integrity as he portrayed; Thirdly, the news of martial law was confirmed by Grandini himself, and the invitation for a cabinet reshuffle was inferred by Contini on the basis of historical memory, and it was not at all the news that came from inquiring; In the end, the action to organize the citizens of Rome and the Roman police to welcome the Blackshirts was not at all clear, and it was the next step in Contini's campaign.

But Mussolini, who was excited, would not carefully distinguish the difference, and the old Ciano did not take all the credit for himself: if these things were done, it was the credit of his son, and he could not embezzle them, and in the end, it was the credit of Lao Tzu; If these things can't be done, it is also a young man's mischief, and the old Chiano cannot be held responsible. The moment he received the telegram, he thought of this way of attacking and retreating.

Mussolini was delighted: "Calais is doing a good job, if this can be successful, why should he be the leader of young Italy?" ”

"That's not good, right? He's only 19 years old! ”

"Listen to me right, the revolution starts with the young people, I was not as good at tossing as he was when I was 19 years old, let alone convincing the police commissioner, even a little police detective can shut me up." Mussolini was in a good mood, "You know, my sons and daughters are still young, and when we are old, it will be Calais who will lead them in the revolution!" ”

This sentence is not so much a wish to the little Chiano, but rather a woo to the old Chiano, who naturally understood, and hurriedly said: "Leader, this matter is not in a hurry, let him do a good job of connecting Rome and welcoming the leader, if the matter is messed up, I will break his leg when I turn around!" ”

"Hahaha, no, no!"

"How's it going, are you connected?"

"Once connected, both your father and the leader agree that you will remain in office, and if you perform well, you can take on greater responsibilities in the future." Contini smiled and said to Glandini, "The leader said that he would refuse the invitation to reshuffle the cabinet, he wants the power of the entire cabinet, the entire central power!" I won't fall for this little profit. ”

Due to the failure of the martial law order, Glandini keenly felt a hint of unusualness, and had deep doubts about Fakda's political career, so he relaxed the intimidation of Contini, and instead asked the young man about his future, Contini talked with him for half an hour, relying on his incorruptible tongue to win the other party over, originally Glandini also wanted to take the opportunity to fight with Fascist to be promoted to the head of the police department of the Ministry of the Interior, but Contini shook his head to stop him.

"Your Excellency, it's not that I won't help with this, but this position is not of much benefit to you."

"Why?"

"If the leader does not succeed in the end, your current struggle and bargaining chips will inevitably fall into the hands of others, and it is generally said that if it is your opponent, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you, but only to secure your position and make false promises with the leader, I believe that no one can accuse you of anything; If the leader succeeds in taking the position, then he will definitely remember what you did today, which is good for your future, but there are so many cabinet positions, and the leader also has a group of people to arrange, and it is not impossible to arrange you rashly, but it will cause them to be dissatisfied - after all, you have not been following the leader for long, and then you will become the target of their exclusion......"

In fact, Glandini didn't understand that Contini was right, but he was just unwilling to stay put-he always had to fight for benefits, right?

Contini seemed to see through his thoughts, and persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to worry at all, as long as you have power and ability in your hands, you have a lot of opportunities, and the leader must be dissatisfied with him in all aspects after he comes to power, and he must rely on his subordinates to help him deal with problems, but you know, his subordinates are all revolutionary figures, and there are almost no people who are proficient in internal affairs and policing, and in the end they don't want to rely on you?" As long as you take care of these worries about the leader, what position do you want in the future? Not to mention a district police director, even the Minister of Home Affairs, I think you can do it too! At that time, you also have the credit, and after a long time, isn't it natural to take on greater responsibility? ”

"Okay, but you still have to be a little more restrained in the past two days, don't make it difficult for me......"

Contini winked and smiled: "That's natural, we are intellectuals by age, we will understand things and abide by the laws and rules of the country." But I'm going back quickly, if it's late, I don't know what other people will make a mess about. ”

Before leaving, Contini muttered again: "Your Excellency, I have a hunch that the leader's march into Rome will not last more than five days......

Glandini nodded, thinking: If what you say doesn't come true in 5 days, you little bunny will be the first to taste my awesomeness!

"Calais, you're back? The police didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"If you don't come back, we're going to march to the police station tomorrow in solidarity with you."

"No, I have met His Excellency Glandini, who is very talkative, understands and sympathizes with our situation, and who, after my tireless efforts, has promised to stand in solidarity with us......"

"Really?"

"Impossible, right?"

"I'll find out if I really try it tomorrow." In front of many members of the alliance, Contini naturally did not reveal the real inside story, but intentionally or unintentionally formed such a misleading - it was his little Ziano who single-handedly relied on his personal charm instead of the tiger skin of the black shirts behind him and the current complicated situation to convince Glandini!

A group of people only felt thrilled when they heard him tell the story, and their admiration became stronger and stronger. Then I heard the bits and pieces of his deployment, and I felt that it was very correct and necessary!

"So what are you waiting for? Let's do it overnight! A crowd cheered as Contini took the second step to continue the momentum......
