Chapter 35 Goebbels (3)

After hearing these three trouble-making points, Contini smiled. He knew that Goebbels would not let him down, and he quickly came up with an effective plan - which was very satisfying to him.

Antonio's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything to persuade him: firstly, he knew that persuasion would not work; secondly, Mussolini had told him that if he didn't do this, he might not be able to hold the Socialist Party back.

"Doctor, you should keep some. This is Italy. I have a unique advantageous position. It is much more convenient than Germany. I can also use other means."

"Other means?" Goebbels was stunned for a moment. He knew that Contini had hundreds of elite guards. He thought that force would be used, so he advised, "Using force may complicate the situation."

"You can't use force internally. This is the bottom line. We are all intellectuals and we must be civilized." Contini smiled slightly and summoned his administrative secretary Zakaria.

Seeing this posture, Goebbels finally understood why Contini did not want him to be his secretary. The other party already had a large team of secretaries: administrative secretary Zakaria was responsible for daily affairs and schedule arrangements; security secretary and driver Enzo was responsible for daily transportation and security; Life Secretary Monica is responsible for the president’s daily necessities, food, clothing, housing, transportation and external image presentation; Literary Secretary Piero is responsible for writing general written materials and daily speeches; Media Secretary and United Group Spokesperson Alessandro is responsible for media affairs and External publicity... In addition, there are financial secretaries, information secretaries (responsible for collecting various types of intelligence), etc.

There are a total of more than 20 staff members in various departments, forming a huge secretariat, which provides a full range of services such as party affairs, economy, media, life, security, image, etc. Antonio actually also serves as the secretary-general. After Goebbels came, although he focused on propaganda Public opinion, but it is closer to the job of deputy secretary-general - it would be unreasonable for him to squeeze his head to become secretary.

"Zakariya, you are responsible for two things:

First, notify all United Printing staff and machines to return to their positions, and prepare to go all out to print flyers in an hour. Other cooperative printing plants will print together. The initial printing volume is 500,000 copies. I need them all to be shipped before 9 o'clock tomorrow! You can pick up the sample in half an hour.

Second, notify United Airlines to perform maintenance on all aircraft, cancel all vacations for pilots, and put everyone on standby. I will send a plane to drop leaflets tomorrow! "

"I'll do it right away." Zakaria turned around and walked away quickly.

"Spread leaflets?" Antonio was stunned, "Is it useful in internal struggles?"

"It worked for the Italian soldiers in Corfu, it worked for the Italian people, and it worked for me."

Upon hearing this, he was ready to throw the leaflet on Corfu Island. Goebbels finally understood: Your Excellency, the President, thinks that my matter is not big enough...

Contini wrote hard and wrote the leaflet in less than 5 minutes. Antonio laughed after reading it: "Master, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

"The Socialist Party's butt is itching again and needs a beating!" Contini smiled, "500,000 copies will be printed first and will be distributed with newspapers in all major cities tomorrow! The rest will be airdropped to the citizens and the defenders of Corfu via airplanes, and I will If you don’t believe it, you can’t control these old thieves of the Socialist Party!”

"The parliament will meet tomorrow and the leader will ask me to speak..."

"But you are not a member of parliament yet. Didn't you say that there will be a by-election next month?"

"So he asked me to speak to the House of Representatives as a citizen representative, and promise, just collect 1,000 signatures."

Antonio also laughed: Isn’t it easy to get 1,000 signatures?

When the House of Representatives met the next day, Contini sat in the gallery with dignity. Most of the time, the meetings of the House of Representatives were not open to the public. To attend the meeting, complicated applications were required and approval was almost impossible. But things were different when Contini applied. The green light was given all the way, and the auditorium of more than 100 seats was filled with the backbone of the Youth League - all young men with high blood and patriotic enthusiasm.

During the morning discussion, members of the Socialist Party took turns to open fire, accusing the Mussolini government of being too happy with its successes and causing trouble at every turn. Some people took a neutral point of view and pointed out that the national finances could not support a war. From a political point of view, some people believed that Italy was not a country where Britain, France and France were united. Greece's opponents should be resolved through negotiation...

After quarreling all morning, the students in the auditorium were filled with indignation: The British and French were still doing nothing, and they only sent ambassadors to say a few words, but the Socialist Party and some independent people became chaotic, and even What a coward.

"Now, I would like to invite Mr. Galeazzo Ciano, candidate for next month's parliamentary by-election, citizen representative, and president of United Group, to speak."

Watching him stand up, his old rival Matteotti had an ominous premonition: troublemakers were coming.

"I've been listening for a long time. You were arguing just now about whether you should send troops because of defense funding?"

Everyone looked embarrassed, as if they were talking about this section.

"Very good, for a mere petty profit, we don't even care about national dignity and national interests." Contini slammed the table and said sarcastically, "It's just tens of millions of lire, I'll pay for it! I can turn on the electricity." For the officers and soldiers on Corfu, for every day they persist, the United Group will donate 200,000 lire to them. If they persist for one year, I will donate 73 million lire. If it is not enough, I can add more!”

There was a great buzz in the parliament, and it seems that the overbearing president's temper has been violated again!

Matteotti stood up and responded: "Can this kind of national event be measured in donations and money?"

Contini ignored him and asked Army Minister Diaz: "Your Excellency, your men have been killed in Greece. Some people say that we must not fight a war. If we fight a war, we will be finished. Tell me, if we dare not fight a war, what do we need soldiers for? What is the national defense for?"

Diaz was stunned at first, then reacted: "Yes, if we dare not fight a war, what do we need us for? We might as well resign and disband the army!"

The Navy Minister jumped out quickly: "We have to save money. Anyway, we dare not use the navy to fight. Tomorrow we can order all the warships to be dismantled. We may be able to make some money from the hundreds of thousands of tons of scrap steel."

Mussolini concurrently served as the Air Force Minister, and Balbo was the Deputy Minister. He stood up and said unsatisfiedly: "In this case, all the air force should be transferred to civil aviation! The country does not care about us. United Airlines will not ignore it, right? "

"They don't dare to ask, but I do! They don't dare to fight, but I dare to fight!" Contini roared, "The disbanding of the army is not the end of the world. I will organize a death squad and an insurgent army, and fight to the death to defend the highest interests of Italy! Didn't Garibaldi have no official support when he started the revolution? The Red Shirts still got things done! What our predecessors could do, we can't do? Are the descendants of Italy so cowardly? They even tremble when they see Greece? Where is the promised great power status? Where is the promised demeanor of a great power? Where is the promised national confidence? In the mouths of you socialists, it's all bullshit!"

In fact, Contini knew that Italy really didn't beat Greece in World War II, but this didn't stop him from bragging-99% of Italians didn't believe that they couldn't beat Greece, that's enough!

"Well said!" Mussolini was the first to stand up and applaud enthusiastically.

The pro-military parliamentarians, regardless of their political parties, stood up and applauded-this is a real hawk, speaking his mind!

Representatives of the Catholic Party and the Nationalist Party also stood up and applauded - this kind of citizen representative who is willing to donate money and is not afraid of fighting is great!

"Let's go together!" More than 100 students in the audience all stood up, waving their fists, saying, "Serving the country, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

The Socialists' faces were livid, and when they were thinking about how to fight back, they suddenly heard a roar, and a United Airlines plane flew over the parliament at a very low altitude, dropping leaflets, and the outside was white...
