Grandi delivered what Mussolini called "a speech of fierce attack", "an oratory in which a man with a long grudge finally gathered his anger." And the contact between the members of the Grand Council and the court was already extremely evident.

Mussolini's face was gloomy as he watched Grandi lash out at himself, while the commissioners either echoed or bowed their heads. Mussolini knew that he was in a very dangerous moment.

Everyone in attendance is now aware that a major political change is imminent.

"I don't agree with you! Indeed, Your Excellency the Führer has made many mistakes. And the war has advanced to the brink of collapse of the Axis powers, but this does not mean that His Excellency Mussolini is no longer fit to lead Italy! ”

Finally, there were pro-Mussolini commissioners who stood up. After Grandi finished his speech, he began to fight back against him. The committee member spoke calmly and patiently, constantly coming up with data to prove Mussolini's achievements.

Despite Mussolini's mistakes, his contribution to Italy is also evident. Even in later generations, there was a proverb in Italy, and that is: no matter how much you criticize Mussolini, at least he let the train leave on time.

And what is even less known is that in history Mussolini was discovered and shot by the guerrillas. His body was buried in a local cemetery in a village outside Milan, grave number 384, and in order to avoid the discovery of Mussolini's body, the partisans did not even set up a tombstone for Mussolini.

But it backfired, and Mussolini's body was quickly discovered. In the darkness of the night, three fascist supporters stole his body and hid it in a monastery.

Although the Italian police later discovered the incident, they had to hide the body again due to the political influence. Until 1957, Mussolini's widow Rachel. At Mussolini's repeated requests, the Italian political axe returned Mussolini's body and agreed to be buried in his birthplace, Predapio.

"Even if he once had brilliant achievements, it doesn't make up for his current shortcomings! His stubbornness and lack of knowledge have put Italy in danger! ”

The debate between the two sides was extremely heated, and Grandi's side and the pro-Mussolini side were gushing their views. Mussolini, on the other hand, remained silent and did not justify himself.

Grandi didn't notice it, but the supporters around him did. And this discovery made everyone a little frightened. Mussolini was so calm that there were only two scenarios that could happen.

First, he already knew about it and had a way to deal with it, and now he was just waiting for those who jumped out and then cleaned up. Second, although he was shocked by the incident, he already had a plan in his heart to deal with it.

Therefore, he is not nervous at all watching the development of the situation now. But in either case, it is not good news for those who oppose Mussolini.

But there was no turning back from the bow, and even if Mussolini already had a way to deal with it, they could only go on with it. Either they brought Mussolini down, or they were liquidated by Mussolini afterwards.

Time passed little by little, and the argument between the two sides still did not reach any result. The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled with each other. Neither could convince anyone, and at the same time they were completely confused with each other.

Those who supported Mussolini did not know how many people were willing to support Mussolini. It was not at all afraid to call for a vote.

And the opposition, led by Grandi, was also frightened by Mussolini's sudden support. They had no idea that so many people would support Mussolini.

Therefore, they did not dare to rush into voting without knowing how many supporters Mussolini hastily hazed. In case the result of the vote is in favor of Mussolini.

Then all their efforts will be in vain. This is what they don't want to see, because Grandi and others are constantly testing and co-opting those who don't express their position.

Try to convince more people to come to their aid with ** Mussolini. As long as the challenge vote passes, then they can justifiably lead people to lock up Mussolini.

There were twenty-eight people present, and they were all the voting rights of the **Sith Council. And where Grandi and the others expected, they thought they would be able to get at least ten votes or more.

And those who support Mussolini, they expect a maximum of three or five. But now there are nine people standing up and arguing with themselves. At the same time, the rest of those did not even take a stand.

That is to say, apart from Grandi and the other ten, they no longer received any clear support. It made them nervous, and things seemed to have slipped in a direction they couldn't control......

"Gentlemen, I am afraid that such an argument will not come to a conclusion in the end. It's already midnight and I feel like we should stop arguing and give everyone a time to think and resume our meeting tomorrow......"

The secretary of the Fascist Party, Skorza, glanced at the crowd and said, "We should rest and think about how we should deal with this......

"No, I'm against it. We've started this debate and we're going to have it over tonight!! Grandi objected in a hurry: "Before the results of the meeting are reached, any of us leaving the meeting room is a betrayal, disloyalty and ** to Italy!" This meeting, we have to draw conclusions!! ”

Grandi's words elicited loud echoes from those around him. None of them are fools, and they know perfectly well what will happen if they drag on for a little longer.

Mussolini's success must have been due to his excellence. If this matter is launched without results, then he and others will be broken by Mussolini one by one.

The most terrible are those centrists, who will be persuaded by Mussolini. When the time comes, it will be difficult to say who will die and who will live. Therefore, they were desperate to press Mussolini to death before he could act.

"Alright! In that case, let's continue to discuss this topic...... "What else can be discussed after hours of discussion?!" All the arguments, arguments have been said countless times, and all the fights have been fought countless times.

Both sides were exhausted, and no one knew what to continue to say. By the time it was four o'clock in the morning, everyone's energy had been exhausted.

"The attitude of each member of the Grand Council was clearly visible even before the vote. There was a group of traitors who had colluded with the king, another group of conspirators, and another group of people who did not know the truth, who might not understand the gravity of voting, but who voted in the same way......"

This is what Mussolini recorded in his account afterwards. At four o'clock in the morning, the parliamentarians finally realized that nothing would come of this quarrel.

So, finally, someone started proposing a vote. The rest of the centrists are also disgusted by the endless arguments, preferring to vote on the matter as soon as possible.

At this time, both sides have no strength to rip the skin. Even Grandi didn't have the heart to pull it off. Or rather, they know there's no point in going on like this.

In the morning, the meeting was over if they didn't want it to end and had to end it. When the time comes, it will be them who will be picked up by Mussolini. It's better to divide the winner now, so as to prepare for the next incident.

"Then, let's start voting by raising our hands now......" Seeing that there was no objection, Skorza, the secretary of the fascist party, said in a deep voice: "Now, please support Dino. Mr. Grandi's motion of no confidence in Mr. Mussolini, please raise your hand! ”

Everyone held their breath and stared at the results of the voting on the spot. Not surprisingly, 10 of the 28 committee members simply raised their hands.

The remaining eighteen people were watching or seemed extremely hesitant. After waiting for a while, two more people slowly raised their hands. The hearts of Grandi and the others slowly sank to the bottom, and the votes did not exceed half!

What does that mean, it means that they will not be able to pass this proposal even if they get the votes they get. According to the rules, at least a majority of the votes must be cast for a motion of no confidence to pass.

Otherwise, it is considered a failure. Moreover, a motion of no confidence can only be filed once in a month. If they fail this time, they will not have a second chance under Mussolini's surname.

Just as Mussolini was feeling a little happy, three hands were again stretched out in the crowd!

Jedi Strikes Back! Mussolini looked at the three men in disbelief, he couldn't believe that someone would choose to oppose him at this time!

"Whew~~" Grandi and the others jumped up suddenly at this moment! Fifteen votes! Out of twenty-eight, they received fifteen votes! This means that they get more than half of the votes.

This also means that their motion of no confidence in Mussolini himself has passed!

Grandi, who was extremely excited, looked at Mussolini with contempt, and was about to say something when he was stared at by Mussolini's cannibalistic gaze like a poisonous snake, and Grandi's heart, who had just won the victory, suddenly cooled in half.

"You've provoked a crisis, it's terrible! I declare that this concludes the meeting!! Mussolini gave a brutal shout, then got up and turned to leave.

But at this time, the secretary of the fascist party, Skorza, stopped Mussolini. He looked at Mussolini intently and said in a deep voice: "Now, please support His Excellency Mussolini's raised hand!" ”

The words had fallen, and the twelve people at the scene raised their hands at the same time. This included the secretary of the fascist party, Skorza.

"Fifteen votes in favor and twelve against. One abstention, Dino. Bill of no confidence in His Excellency Mussolini by Commissioner Grandi, adopted ......"

With that, the secretary slowly made way for Mussolini. Mussolini, on the other hand, looked at the twelve people who supported him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

At this time, the secretary of the fascist party was about to pay tribute to the leader, but Mussolini stopped him with a gesture.

"No, you can be forgiven." Everyone dispersed in silence. That night, no one was able to sleep at home. Everyone was silent, waiting in silence for the final outcome of the matter.

At this time, batches of "villains" have entered Italy. Led by a group of silent intelligence officers, they began to move into their intended positions......

"The two groups A1 and A3 are responsible for the first and fifth targets. Scheduled to lurk in Area 224. Don't be exposed until you receive an order! ”

"Yes!!" The two team leaders quickly found the area they needed to enter on the map, while Otto clicked on the map and continued to speak in a deep voice.

"**2 and **7 are responsible for the third and ninth targets. The intended incubation area is C324. Don't expose until you get the signal! ”

"Yes!!" Two more people left the headquarters and went down to take their crew directly to the intended area. Otto, on the other hand, continued to give orders.

The leaders of the various teams began to receive confirmed orders one after another, and left the temporary headquarters and headed for the predetermined area. There are local intelligence officers on the road, marking and assisting them along the way.

And at this time, the opposition in Italy was not idle. Petro, the first Duke of Addis Ababa. With his connections in the army, Badoglio entered the army and began to take over the troops.

Groups of his cronies were replaced overnight, and the officers loyal to Mussolini were dismissed in their sleep. At the same time, their homes were monitored.

Petro. Badoglio didn't want to kill people because killing would only cause chaos. If he could, he hoped to be able to peacefully take full control of Italy from Mussolini.

"Your Majesty, everything has been done. Just waiting for your orders! "King Vittorio of Italy. Emanuele III received the news in his royal palace.

The one who came to deliver the news was Dino. Grandi. In fact, the result of the vote on Mussolini's motion of no confidence was of no substance, because according to the Italian constitution at the time, only the king had the power to remove the prime minister.

Their vote was only enough to force Mussolini to relinquish his position in the fascist party. He represented political office in Italy, which could only be removed by the king according to the constitution.

"Excellent! Your mission has been accomplished, and I will not back down. "Vittorio. Emanuele III smiled slightly and said, "In fact, at this time, we have no way to retreat......

After a pause, Vittorio. Emanuele III turned to his chief guard and said, "After daybreak, you will have the Prime Minister come to me to report on his work." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, as you wish! The guard shouted, and Grandi was relieved at this time, for Mussolini must have had no time to do anything at dawn.

At this time, as long as he is brought to the palace, then he will be directly deposed by the king. Having lost their position in the party and politics, they were able to smoothly imprison Mussolini.

As long as Mussolini is isolated, he will not be able to use even if he has the means to reach the sky. When the time comes, all the henchmen who belong to Mussolini in the army and the political axe will be sorted out, and Italy will be completely cut off from Mussolini's rule.

Mussolini was not sleeping now, he was restlessly thinking about tomorrow in his bedroom. No one knew better than him that such a vote merely removed him from his position in the fascist party.

The only thing that can really threaten him is the removal of his political position. Otherwise, he could have used the police and the military to kill all his opponents.

Even if he was to get him out of here, he would be able to do it. In the Italian army, Mussolini still had many supporters.

However, voting is certainly not the whole plan of Grandi and others. If that's all there is, it's not worth it for so long.

There is no doubt that they must have been connected with the Italian royal family. This can be seen in the fact that its own gun regiment has been replaced by the royal family, and the main telephone terminals, police stations and offices of the Ministry of the Interior have been quietly taken over.

Mussolini had thought of the sinister nature of the situation, but he had no idea that it would be so sinister at all. There are very few people who support themselves, and the army is not of the same mind as themselves.

There are more and more betrayers, and those opponents who were once suppressed by themselves are beginning to unite and form an alliance with the betrayers, to kill themselves this time!

Mussolini in the bedroom clenched his fists angrily for a moment and kept waving them at the air. For a moment, he seemed to think of something and couldn't stop sneering.

In this way, Mussolini fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

As soon as the sky was bright, the palace guards came to Mussolini's residence, and knocked on Mussolini's door despite Mussolini's secretary's obstruction.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty the King is now summoning you. Please come with us to the palace......" said the chief of the guard politely to Mussolini, who knew very well what was going on.

If he was unprepared, he would have been out of luck this time. On the basis of being ** by the party and getting passed, the panicked self will definitely go to the palace to seek support.

And now, Mussolini calmed down a lot. He read a hint of disdain in the squire's seemingly respectful expression. Quite simply, the chief guard also knew what was about to happen.

"It seems that I won't go." Mussolini smiled slightly, got up and began to get dressed. He said to the chief of the guard, "Okay, I'll go with you to the palace to meet Your Majesty now......"

When the chief guard heard this, he relaxed his hand on the holster. He nodded and said, "Okay, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." We'll be waiting for you at the door......" (To be continued.) )
