Nine hundred and sixty. The Great Revolt of Turin

A storm is brewing in Turin, Italy. This is true in any country, when people cannot continue to survive, the only option they have is to resist.

They don't know if they'll succeed, but they're willing to give it a try.

Even if you die, it's better than living in humiliation.

News of the imminent bloody crackdown on the people of Turin by the Italian government soon spread throughout the city. The Italians of Turin were at first frightened, dazed, and overwhelmed, but soon anger took over.

They are just fighting for the right to live, but now the government is taking that away.

Uprising! Uprising! Uprising! Since the government is not willing to let itself live, then use the most violent means to overthrow them!

The tide of the great uprising is quietly forming...... At this time, Italy's Prime Minister, Mr. Bertrul, still seemed indifferent......

Cartadona had already learned from various sources that an uprising was possible, and he was anxious to report this information to the Italian Prime Minister, but Bertrul did not bother to tell him: "Don't worry, my friend, the so-called uprising is nothing more than the words used by those people to threaten......"

Cartadona was dumbfounded, is this the attitude adopted by the prime minister of a country at a critical juncture?

But what could he do......

......

"Monsieur Moyol" was undoubtedly a man of good faith, and he really found the weapons that the Italian rebels needed. Enough to arm a company of weapons.

This undoubtedly boosted the confidence of Manicia and his companions.

The Great Uprising is on the verge of breaking out!

At the last meeting before the uprising. Manicia made an impassioned agitation:

"Gentlemen, Italy has reached its most critical moment! Our enemies are trying to destroy us, and we have only two options, or we can take them with our hands tied. Either resist to the end gentlemen, we are not fighting for our own interests, but for the whole of Turin, for the whole of Italy the great dictator Mussolini died, but his son continued to rule Italy and made our lives even poorer. What choice do we have? Are we really willing to die under the butcher's knife of the enemy? No, our destiny is always in our own hands

We just want to. to save ourselves from the dangers we have pointed out

All tyrants do is to make the people obedient and passively obedient like slaves. Freedom as we understand it. It may be called for close harmony in everything connected with the conduct of war; It can demand silence on all forms of matter; But Italy must not be asked to refrain from an uprising or to submit to an arbitrary and tyrannical dictator. Italy will never give up its noble determination to be free! ”

His speech quickly drew a tsunami of cheers

On the night of March 26, 1966, the "Great Uprising of Turin" broke out.

It was a great uprising that had a profound impact on history. The rebels even named the hero of Italian history, "Garibaldi".

That night, the insurgents attacked the Turin police station, and the policemen confronted the insurrectionists. And there was not much resistance. The insurgents easily took the place, obtaining the weapons they desperately needed.

The uprising soon spread throughout Turin, and the mayor of Cartagona was completely in disarray, and in the early hours of the 27th he knocked on the door of Italian Prime Minister Bertrul in defiance of etiquette.

"The uprising has broken out, the uprising has really broken out...... "Catadona said in a panic": "The police station was attacked, they got a lot of weapons!" ”

Bertrul looked very calm: "How are the thugs now? ”

"No further news yet......" Cartadona gasped, "the exact situation will not be known until after dawn." ”

Bertrul nodded, "They're finally up and running, Mr. Mayor." Do you think you should be held accountable for this? ”

"Me?" Catadona was stunned, what kind of responsibility should he bear?

Mr. Prime Minister was sent to solve the problem. But he didn't do anything for the past two days......

Now he actually shifted the blame onto himself......

"Repression?" Catadona reluctantly said that perhaps this was the best option for them in the current situation.

"Repression?" Bertrul sneered: "Do you really think that repression is the best option? Mr. Mayor, not many people in the dock of the Bologna court can forget. ”

Catadona's body shuddered...... He didn't quite understand what Mr. Prime Minister meant......

"I'll go back to Rome...... Betrul said unexpectedly, "you can't solve the current situation, and I can't solve it either, I think it's better to let the leader make up his own mind." But until then, I don't want the situation to get any worse. ”

This damn guy...... Catadona cursed angrily...... He actually handed over this mess to himself......

Bertrul didn't stay long, he quickly called the guards and left this dangerous place......

"Damn it, damn it!" Catadona cried out in rage.

But in the face of the current situation, he didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Mayor, I found this in the Prime Minister's bedroom." At this time, his senior staff member Dinakale hurriedly walked out and placed a book in front of Caradona. This is a "biography of Garibaldi", which tells the legendary story of the Italian hero Garibaldi. On one of the pages, where the bookmark was placed, a piece of text was outlined with a red pen:

“...... On the night of June 3, the French army treacherously launched an offensive on all fronts. That night, he won the four winds villa and Pan Feili villa, which were impregnable at the beginning. 400 defenders were either killed or wounded, Rosselli took the blame and resigned, and the republic was in turmoil. Critical moment. Garibaldi, who was ill, took over military command again, regardless of personal grudges. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Rome's St. Peter's Square was ablaze, and the battle-hardened Italian legions were lined up in a neat square to the sound of rumbling war drums, waiting for Garibaldi's order. It was an unfair race, with 3000 Italian fighters facing 20000 well-equipped French troops. Garibaldi, who was sick, took the lead. The slogan 'Long live the Republic' resounded in the air, and the Italian legions launched an overwhelming counterattack. At 7:30, the two villas returned to the Republic. The French were slaughtered to the point of disgrace. Garibaldi's red cloak appeared there, and the French army fled in despair. Oudino and Vayang were red-eyed, and the pro-governor troops fought over it repeatedly, and the dead bodies were lying around the villa. The French even built fortifications out of bloody corpses......"

"This. What does that mean? Cartadona was confused.

Dinakale looked to the side, then lowered his voice: "In Mr. Prime Minister's bedroom, I also saw a red cloak. ”

"The red cloak?" Cartagona's gaze couldn't help but fall on the text again:

“...... Garibaldi's red cloak appeared there, and the French army fled in spite of the wind......"

Caradona seemed to understand a little: "Is it always ideal to be a second Garibaldi?" ”

"No, it's not him, it's you." Dinakale whispered.

Cartagona was shaken there.

For God's sake, he never thought that this day would happen......

"Look here." As he spoke, Dinakale turned the book to the last page, where he wrote the following passages with a pen:

"The independence and unity of Italy. After a long, arduous and tortuous process of struggle, it aroused the awakening of the Italian nation. The War of Independence of 1848-1870 was finally won. It freed Italy from the situation of long-term oppression and division by foreign nationalities, and greatly promoted the progress of history...... In the Italian War of Independence, there was always a contradiction and struggle between the bourgeois democrats and the liberals. Democrats advocate a bottom-up path, and liberals advocate a top-down path. Due to the weakness of the democratic faction and the lack of internal unity, the bottom-up path does not work. However, the liberal faction was strong and politically mature, and thus became the leading force of the Revolutionary War......

The Italian War of Independence produced outstanding representatives, among whom Garibaldi was the first to be promoted. Garibaldi gained a wealth of experience through a series of military practice activities before the war. In the three wars of independence, he commanded Ruoding, and repeatedly defeated the enemy forces with superior troops, and achieved brilliant results. He was good at accumulating small victories into big victories, and made great contributions to the unification of Italy, and it is well ......deserved that later generations called him the 'father of modern guerrilla warfare'."

At the end, he wrote in a red pen: "Where is the second Garibaldi?" ”

"No, no, it can't be written by Mr. Prime Minister." Cartadona closed the book and said with some alarm.

He sympathized with the insurgents, but that didn't mean he would join the ranks of the insurgents.

What does this mean? This means that he became a rioter!

What will be the end of the rioters, no one knows better than him......

"Either way, the crackdown shouldn't happen for the time being." At this time, Dinakale was very calm: "The uprising in Turin will involve many things, and I suggest that we wait patiently for the situation to develop further before making our judgment!" ”

Probably, this is the only thing they can do now......

......

However, after dawn, the situation was completely different from Cartagona's expectations.

The insurgents even put up slogans with the slogan "Long live Cartadona"!

God, this simply broke down the poor mayor.

And this was only the beginning, as the insurgents quickly seized television and radio, and the leader of the uprising, Manusia, issued the most important manifesto:

"Freedom and justice are all we seek, but now that the shameless rulers have blatantly deprived us of everything, I can't think of a better way than to resist. Uprising, which we do not want. But the move that had to be taken...... Now, I declare the 'Republic of Turin' and we will embrace Mr. Catadona as President of the Republic. We support Mr. Giorgio as Prime Minister of the Republic, and we support General Congio as Marshal of the Republic, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces......"

Stunned, Catadona, Giorgio and Congio were completely stunned...... Damn insurgents, why are they involved?

This will soon be known to the great dictator of Rome, and with Vittorio's character, they will completely lose Vittorio's trust.

Is there anything more terrible than that?

They were on the verge of collapse.

After half an hour. As Manusia's representative, Nadov walked into the mayor's office, here. He met the big men of Turin.

Undeterred, Nadov confronted the Turin authorities: "The uprising has broken out, and we are here for our own survival. You can suppress us, and you don't support us. It's entirely up to you. But what I can tell you is. Most of Turin is already in our hands, and all of Turin is supporting us......"

"Sir, I think you're still too optimistic." General Congeo said coldly: "I have soldiers, tanks, and artillery, and I can defeat you in two hours!" ”

"Yes, General, I fully admit it." Nadoff said calmly: "Of course you can easily suppress us. But will you be able to kill every upright Italian in Turin? Once the repression begins, blood will stain Turin red. Countless people will die for it. What about you? What do you get? Great patriot or butcher general? You will be spurned by Italians for the rest of your life...... You could even kill me here now, but there will be many more like me who will fight to the end for our cause! ”

General Congio fell silent, he was not willing to bear the infamy of being a butcher general. If it had been suppressed, he would have done it a long time ago.

"As for you, honorable Director Giorgio." Nadoff set his eyes on the Turin police chief: "Last night we attacked the police station, but we did not harm any of your men, on the contrary we released them all, I believe this is a sign of our kindness." ”

"Thank you so much for everything." Giorgio looked much more tactful: "However, supporting you is a very important decision after all, and I hope you can give us some time." ”

"Two hours, of course." Nadov looked at his watch: "In two hours, no matter what your decision is, the uprising will continue as usual, and you will still be our leaders. ”

Nadov was gone, leaving only the stunned bigwigs......

"What do you think, gentlemen!" Cartadona said with difficulty.

No one spoke, but Catadona still turned his gaze to Dinakale's body for help.

"There have been many uprisings in history that have happened by chance, and there have been many great men who have been born by chance...... "Dinakale is obviously calmer than anyone here: "I think we have to take into account the advice of these insurgents." ”

"Oh my God, this is going to guillotine." Cartadona could not believe that Mr. Dinakale had made such a suggestion.

"What else can be done?" General Congeo said unexpectedly: "Would that man in Rome believe that we know nothing about it?" Do you think we have nothing to do with these insurgents? Wake up, Mr. Mayor, I think soon that man in Rome will declare us traitors. ”

Cartadona knew who the "man from Rome" the general was talking about, but he couldn't believe that the general had said such a thing.

"Mr. General, I am sure that we will have a pleasant ...... cooperation" As the mayor hesitated, General Congio remembered what the rich Mr. Pipondu had said to him not long ago:

"If the uprising succeeds, you will be the greatest general, and if it fails, I promise you that I will send you out of Italy safely. Ah, here's a check for $2 million, I hope this helps you...... As for your family, I've already arranged it for you in Switzerland......"

Therefore, General Congio did not have any worries at all......

In the same situation as him, the police chief of Turin, Mr. Giorgio, and the mayor's senior staff, Dinakale, both heard the same words, accepted a huge check, and then their families were arranged to leave Italy.

Only poor Mr. Mayor is still in the dark......

"It's time to make a decision." Giorgio couldn't wait to say: "It's either for it or for it, but I can tell you without any secret that the police will not intervene in the crackdown." Ah, I have lost the leadership of the police department, the vast majority of whom are sympathizers of the insurgents, what else can you let me do? ”

Catadona looked at these people in a daze, and he had a feeling of being betrayed.

Are these people really his subordinates? Are these really the people you recognize? They seem to have formed a united front, and they have no choice but to do what they say.

But why could such a thing happen? What did the situation come to this point?

No one will be able to give any explanation to poor Mr. Mayor! The only thing he could do now was nod his head and agree to their suggestion.

This may be the most helpless place for Mr. Mayor! (To be continued......)
