The demonstration reached its climax on the third day. Under Contini's organization, Roman citizens, including students, launched a protest. The embassies including Greece, Britain and France were attacked by unscrupulous rotten eggs and tomatoes. In fact, after the flyer was dropped, the ambassadors of these countries realized that the situation was not good. The domestic sentiment in Italy was even more intense than they thought. Mussolini obviously chose to send troops to Corfu because of his momentary emotional excitement. Behind him is a public opinion base, and the Socialist Party, which advocates "cautiousness", is even worse. He was directly pulled out and criticized by someone, just about to surrender to the enemy and stolen the country.

In addition to the explicit protests and demonstrations, Goebbels, who took office, quickly intervened in media and public opinion observations. The voices of the Socialist Party and the so-called neutral faction were completely submerged in a frenzy. Especially after the newspaper published the news that the Corfu defenders took oaths on the spot after receiving the flyer, the atmosphere became even more intense.

Among so many people, the only criticism that Contini had to listen to the previous sentences came from United Airlines consultant Du Hei. He did not agree with the use of planes to throw flyers, believing that Contini used United Airlines as a political tool, which was quite dangerous, which shows that this student was slid towards politicians step by step, which was contrary to his original intention.

"Teacher, you're over-concerned." Contini could not ignore Du Hei's opinion and explained, "This is actually a practical exercise."

"exercise?"

"After one night of preparation, United Airlines set out in full swing the next day, spread all over the place, and even went to Corfu Island, which shows that the aircraft group organization, reaction and training are effective. You can spread flyers today and bombs tomorrow. Don't you think this is an interesting targeted drill? Don't you think United Airlines is better and has faster response under my management than the current Air Force?"

This sentence is really not a brag. Since Mussolini attaches great importance to the Air Force and serves as the Air Force Minister himself, a large number of speculators who are changing their minds entered the Air Force, trying to find a shortcut to get promoted and make money. Although the overall order of the Air Force is still acceptable under the management of Balbo, he cannot do so as to the Air Force as his arms and fingers.

In United Airlines, since Contini repeatedly emphasized iron-fisted management, there was no room for engaging in the field of promotion and salary increase, even if there was a background, it was almost impossible to face Contini's background. Everyone worked happily and the efficiency was naturally good.

Du Hei was silent. He knew that the student was quibbling, but he had to admit that quibbling was still very convincing - putting aside political factors, United Airlines did respond very well!

"What will you do next? Do you really want to promote a war against Greece?"

"This is impossible. I have never thought about war. The leader probably doesn't want to. This is a policy of marginal war. Using war to scare the Greeks, of course, more importantly, it is to scare Britain and France!"

"Scared Britain and France? Don't joke." Du Hei sneered, "Don't scare Britain and France, it's amazing if you can deal with either of Britain and France."

"I can handle it."

"Stop bragging."

"I really don't brag." Contini smiled, "Teacher, you are an authority in aviation theory, but in terms of conspiracy and means, you are far inferior to the leader..."

He originally wanted to say that it was far worse than himself, but then he thought that it was too arrogant to say so, so he immediately focused his finger on Mussolini. Sure enough, Du Hei didn't care and just hummed from his nose: "This scene is so big, I think how he ends up?"

Contini smiled: "Teacher, things will be solved, and I don't think they will last for a long time. As long as the leader gets what he wants, he will withdraw his troops immediately."

After the victory of the first battle, Mussolini's confidence in Contini's ability to disrupt the situation increased greatly, and he actually invited him to discuss what to do next. Of course, he actually had a general direction. He called Contini just to verify the correctness.

"I believe the leader should have a full and mature plan, right?"

Mussolini smiled: "I do have some ideas, but I just received protests from the British and French governments, and many people have different ideas."

"Leader, this is the country you lead, you can't always worry about what they think. If a party has one idea or even a politician has one idea, does Italy still have hope?"

This flattery made Mussolini feel a little fluttered, and he barely controlled his emotions and said, "This... I don't actually have to fight with Greece... I actually... I still have to listen to everyone's opinions, especially the opinions of young people."

Such a few simple sentences have basically exposed his trump card. Contini smiled without hiding his weakness and analyzed: "British and French will definitely stand up for the Greeks, but at most it is diplomatic protests and verbal trouble. I hope they can't even think about fighting for Greece... They just died millions of people, and they are very tired of war. It is impossible to fight again, so we should be more active.

We must act like a fight without hesitation, and our primary goal is Greece. In terms of strength, we are much stronger than Greece. If Britain and France don’t want them to lose too much face, they must suppress Greece to accept our conditions.”

"What conditions? Give us Corfu?"

"This is probably unlikely." Contini pondered, "I think it's enough to meet three conditions: first, punish the murderer; second, the official apology; third, compensation for losses. The most important thing is the third article, the others are false, this is the real one. The offer should be ruthless, such as asking for $50 million in one breath."

Mussolini was also scared by this number: Now you can buy a very good second-hand second-class battleship for $6 million on the market. 50 million equals 8 second-hand battleships, which is even larger than the main battleships of the Italian Navy. Although the purchase fee is only a small part of the naval expenses, and the personnel are the big ones after the subsequent use, maintenance, and maintenance, it cannot withstand the huge number of 50 million.

"We asked for a price all over the place, and we paid it back..." Contini smiled, "We dispatched the navy, dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers, and paid a lieutenant general. If we only asked for a small amount of compensation, Britain and France would definitely think that we were not confident! The asking price is also part of the strategy."

Mussolini nodded: "Your idea makes sense."

"English and French are actually cowards, that is, they call them fiercely, so don't care too much. As for the Greek leader, I suddenly thought of a good idea."

"What idea?"

"I think you can make a price tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and after pressure from Britain and France, announce a diplomatic decision to invite Turkish leader Kemal to Italy to visit, and we can even reach some agreements to build warships for Turkey by Italy!"

"Türkiye?" Mussolini was stunned, then suddenly realized and laughed wildly, "Yes, yes! This is good, this is good! Calais, you have a lot of ideas."

The Ottoman Turkey in World War I became a defeated country. Greece launched a large-scale attack on Turkey with the support of Britain and France, and soon occupied a large area of ​​Turkey's territory. Then Kemal and others launched a revolution, fought fiercely with Greece, and drove all the Greek troops out of the border in one fell swoop in the Battle of Izmir from August to September 1922, and achieved a complete victory in the War of Independence. In July 1923, Turkey and the Allies signed the Treaty of Lausanne, achieving relatively equal peace conditions. On October 29, the Turkish Republic was established, and Kemier was elected as the first president of the Republic and also served as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Although the war between Türkiye and Greece ended, the hostility between the two countries was not eased by the Treaty of Lausanne. If Italy lends a helping hand to Turkey at this time, it can create a strategic pattern of attacking Greece on both sides.

Although Turkey and Italy broke out in the Italian-Turkish war for Libya more than 10 years ago, Italy has changed its government and an independence movement has taken place in Turkey. Everyone is a brand new revolutionary government, and there is no historical burden on each other. Who says that they can't stand together to keep warm?
