Already a few years ago, the great leader of Italy, Benito Mussolini, began preparations to fight against dissidents.

Unlike the practice of the Ebert Reichstag in Germany, Mussolini chose to directly set up a "fascist committee". This body, which is composed entirely of fascists, is both an executive body and has powers higher than the legislature. And Mussolini himself, is the chairman of this committee.

It is different from Zhang Chengtian's establishment of an illegal SS army in order to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles. (True, the SS is still not the legal armed forces of Germany.) The only legal one was the 100,000 Wehrmacht under the Treaty of Versailles. ）

Mussolini's approach was much more unscrupulous. He directly used the power of the prime minister to integrate the fascist black shirts into the National Guard, so as to firmly control the entire National Guard.

In this regard, Mussolini once proudly mentioned to his confidant Rossi: "This move not only adds strength to the fascist power, but also adds a more sophisticated reserve force out of thin air." ”

Unlike the barbarism of the Night of the Long Knives, Mussolini elegantly disbanded the royal guard in the hands of the Italian royal family with a single order.

On one occasion of his departure for a meeting of the foreign ministers of Lausanne, Mussolini instructed his henchman Rossi: "In my immediate moment, you must do your best to increase the number of blackshirts in the National Guard to more than 500,000 men." ”

At that time, Rossi asked worriedly, "Isn't that more than the king's army?" ”

"That's right." Mussolini smiled mysteriously and said, "Isn't that bad?" My loyal Rosie, you've been with me for so long, and there are some things you should understand without me having to say it. ”

At a meeting of foreign ministers in Lausanne, Mussolini met with the elderly French Prime Minister Raymond. After comparing the two, Mussolini felt even more inconceivable that he had climbed to the prime minister at the age of 39. It also strengthened Mussolini's determination to consolidate his power after returning home, and he wanted to stay in this position longer!

In this meeting between the foreign ministers, Mussolini's tough attitude led to the concession of Britain and France, which led to the recognition of Italy's jurisdiction over the island of Zozekanis, prompting Italy to further control the Mediterranean.

The diplomatic victory of great luck made Mussolini warmly admired by the people after returning home. Look at the Germans next door who failed in diplomacy and are still in the shadow of the Treaty of Versailles!

After returning home, Mussolini took advantage of this opportunity to make a big deal of propaganda from the fascist party and did enough superficial work.

In order to establish himself as the greatest leader in Italian history, Mussolini would personally attend any event that marked economic development. A new building was built in a poor area, a new bridge was erected over a river, and Mussolini was indispensable for cutting the ribbon.

On the other hand, the Italian fascist party is systematically purging dissidents from the country. Many were assassinated in their homes, joints, hospitals, prisons and even churches. Those who subscribed to anti-fascist newspapers were beaten, and those who openly disseminated opposition were thrown directly into prison. For a time, the whole of Italy was in a sick state of respect and fear for fascism.

Mussolini, the implicit instigator of these atrocities, strongly condemned the violence in major newspapers and demanded that the police punish those involved as soon as possible. At the same time, Mussolini demanded in the newspaper that the fascist party members should consciously cooperate with the police and jointly maintain stability in the country.

At the same time that Zhang Chengtian finally made up his mind to carry out the night operation of the long knife. Mussolini, far away in Rome, had already made the king dissolve the parliament once and for all. Let his henchman Rosie organize the operation of the National Committee.

Later, Mussolini pretended to re-establish the "Grand Council", and he himself served as the chairman of the Grand Council.

The members of the Great Council consisted of three parts: 1. The meritorious men who marched into Rome. 2 fascist general secretaries, deputy secretaries, ministers and other cadres. 3. Excellent key members who have served the fascist revolution for more than 3 years, such as Rossi and other Mussolini henchmen.

In this way, this "Grand Council", which replaced the parliament, was almost controlled by Mussolini alone.

Mussolini at this moment is not only the leader of the fascist party, but also the prime minister of the Italian state, the chairman of the Grand Parliament. It can be said that it is a combination of power.

However, in the face of Mussolini's increasingly authoritarian dictatorship, there was also an assassination of Mussolini by people of insight. This point, the lucky Zhang Chengtian did not encounter it.

There were four assassinations against Mussolini!

The first murderer was a major general of the Italian Army. He prepared a small Austrian rifle, soaked every bullet in venom, and rented the balcony of the Baranochi Hotel, where Mussolini would pass during the parade.

It's a pity that he was drunk last night and said that he leaked his mouth. An hour before meeting Mussolini, he was caught by the blackshirts.

The second assassin was an English woman. Many later generations believed that this Englishwoman was assigned by Churchill to assassinate Mussolini. However, this point is no longer investigated.

At that time, the woman walked easily to Mussolini's car, and the blackshirts waved happily to her. Then she pulled out a pistol and shot at Mussolini. The bullet grazed the front of Mussolini's nose and scraped off a layer of skin.

The woman was stunned, she didn't hit at such a close distance! Many people around were also stunned, and stood by and watched dumbfounded.

Fortunately, this woman has not been professionally trained, and her marksmanship is terrible and scary, otherwise Mussolini would not be far from death.

In the end, it was Mussolini who was the first to react and shouted: "Come on, catch her!" What are you stupid standing there doing! ”

The third murder was even more coincidental. A student returning from studying in France was dissatisfied with Mussolini's dictatorship. Made a bomb lurking in Podapia, waiting for Mussolini to pass by.

After waiting for 8 days, Mussolini came. The student excitedly threw the first bomb, but it didn't explode! Throw the second one, and it doesn't blow up! The third one, exploded, but it blew off!

For the fourth murder, the murderer who learned his lesson chose a non-technical approach. The same hot-blooded young man, armed with a small pistol, rushed forward and shot at Mussolini during the speech.

After the bullets were fired, not a single shot hit Mussolini who was dodging. This young man was shot by the blackshirts on the side.

At this moment, Mussolini swelled, and he felt that his luck was simply too good to be great.

Similar to Hitler in history, Mussolini believed that it was God who protected the creation and spread fascism.

The arrogant Mussolini has since been more determined to implement his dictatorship!
