Chapter 40 Leaders are invited (3)

"Leader, since you value it so much, I have no choice but to blame for this matter, but what I am curious is who opposes you on this issue? There should be no such person in Fascisty, right?"

Mussolini's face was embarrassed. In fact, there were people inside who opposed it. However, in front of Contini, the younger generation, he was not easy to show it. This would make him lack prestige and control. He had to say vaguely: "There are some comrades inside who don't understand, but it doesn't matter. I can convince them. The key is that there are always people who make trouble with me outside!"

"Who is so ignorant of the current affairs?"

"Mattoti, this bastard!" Mussolini said in anger. "On the one hand, he mocked me for falling from a socialist atheist to a pope believer, and on the other hand, he insulted me and said that for the sake of power, he could do anything to change his mind."

Contini may not believe it, but when he mentions Matteoti's name, Contini basically believes it.

Jacquemo Matteoti is not only a member of the Italian Socialist Party, but also the secretary-general of the party. The Socialist Party is an old Italian political party, very influential in the political arena, and is the base of the left-wing party. However, in 1921, the party split and became the Italian Communist Party alone. Their strength was greatly weakened. Although Matteoti was still in the Socialist Party, he was a left-wing MP with a very close political stance to the Communist Party. He hated Mussolini.

Matteoti obviously did not oppose Mussolini because he was close to religion. He was a representative of firmly opposing fascist seizure of power. During this period, Fascist merged the Italian Nationalist Party and its momentum rose sharply in the parliament, so there were many articles that bombarded Mussolini.

Mussolini said hatefully: "If it weren't for the social impact, I would have sent someone to kill this guy!"

Seeing the other party's anger still gone, Contini knew that he could really do such a thing. Didn't Matteoti die at Mussolini's hands in history? So he immediately stood up and expressed his opinion: "Leader, I understand. Go back and make arrangements. Youth Daily will start to build momentum from next week, and you will definitely not disappoint you."

"Calais, I like the spirit of your young people - willing to fight and fight hard!" Mussolini personally sent Contini to the door, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to the Prime Minister's Office to find me at any time, without making an appointment."

As soon as Contini left, Caesar Rossi, the chief of the press office, entered Mussolini's office. He asked in confusion: "Leader, have you handed him this?"

“Yes, is there any problem?”

Rossi thought for a while: "I'm afraid he has no experience and will not be able to fight Matteoti, and it will delay your affairs at that time..."

Mussolini smiled sly: "The young ones have no experience, and the old ones don't have it?"

Caesar Rossi was stunned and then reacted: There is an old Ziano behind him. If the leader directly instructs the old Ziano to do this, the effect may not be good, but if he handed it to Ziano, the Minister of Transportation must do his best, otherwise it will be embarrassing to pursue it at that time.

"And, do you want to ignore Calais' ability? Actually, I think his political stance and insight are very outstanding. Not to mention that he is stronger than 99.9% of college students, he is even stronger than many comrades in our party. His articles - whether it is "To be prosperous and strong, not freedom", "One ideology, a political party, and a leader" are very important and can hit the current problems rather than talking about them in general. His level of running newspapers is also very good. Do you still remember the statistics you gave me?"

"Remember. Youth Daily started from scratch and took two months to publish in Rome, with more than 3,000 copies, of which there are more than 1,900 stable subscribers, and more will be available next year. In addition to Rome, Milan and Bologna also have more than 1,000 copies in each city. It is said that they will also spread to big cities across the country. Youth Daily will be available in places with secondary and higher education institutions."

"This is a remarkable achievement. Currently, national newspapers with relatively large circulation, such as the Evening Post, have only more than 5,000 copies in Rome. Although our official newspaper, The People's Italian newspaper, has nearly 9,000 subscribers, I believe you also know that many of them are forced to determine due to the situation... The Youth Daily has made a complete reliance on its reputation and marketing promotion. It is very rare to have no political party background and no consortium background." Mussolini paused and said, "And you have to notice the fact that Calais has visited Germany for more than a month. He could not interfere with the operation of the newspaper in more than a month, which shows that his team operation is relatively ideal. Oh, by the way, I heard that they don't even have a salary, or are they voluntary labor?"

"Yes, from top to bottom, except for a few workers in the issuing department, the rest of the positions where college students take on the program have no salaries, and only a small amount of allowance is given."

"This is cohesion..." Mussolini sighed, "Now the party has gained power and newspapers have expanded their distribution, but cohesion has not been improved simultaneously. I even feel that it is a little worse than before. How could there be so many voices of opposition inside before?"

Rossi could only remain silent. After tasting the taste of the regime, he could no longer let go of these rights and interests, and naturally there were more competition and internal struggles. He thought Mussolini was not very clear about these things, and now it seemed that he was completely wrong. The leader knew this.

"So, will I send someone to learn what Youth Daily do?"

"It's not necessary. We can't learn their approach. We can't learn it and it's more destructive after learning it."

Rosie was stunned, not knowing why the leader said such words.

"First, the target of the issuance of Youth Daily is very clear, namely intellectuals, young students and middle class, and the Party's official newspaper is aimed at the people of Italy and cannot be neglected; Second, these recent reports in Youth Daily have used a large number of social statistics, field surveys, and comparative indicator analysis methods. Our newspaper staff do not have the energy to learn or the ability to use it; Third, Youth Daily has foreign telegram selections, reviews, popularization of science and technology, exchange of academic ideas and cultural dissemination, and even

There is a literary commentary that if the People's Daily learns these styles and leaves the book bag, it will be a fight..." Mussolini said in an approving tone, "Youth Daily is for people with medium-sized education and above. The early growth and promotion will be very fast, but the subsequent motivation will be almost the same, because the cultural level of Italian society is here. Families who have subscribed to Youth Daily usually have a second and three newspapers, while most of the people who have subscribed to the People's Daily only have one. Do you think, can we learn it?"

Luo Xi nodded. The leader was a person who had run newspapers for many years. He was very experienced and was really very knowledgeable about the problem.

"The reason I chose Youth Daily to do this is because Youth Daily is a reasonable newspaper. Didn't Matteoti always want to reason with us? Then I will use the same reasonable newspaper to deal with him, so that he has no energy to make trouble with me. Whether the Youth Daily wins or loses, it will not affect the reputation of the party. Why don't I do it?"

Rossi took a deep breath: "Leader, I'm very curious about the expression of Calais when he left just now. I feel not nervous, but confident, and even a little excited. Excluding the fact that young people don't know the world, I really want to know whether the Youth Daily can surpass Matteoti."

"I'm as curious as you, let's wait and see. At least Calais gives me a good feeling - I can write articles, do politics, and even do business. Someone told me that he made some money in speculation in Germany. I just tried it and found that it was true - this kid made at least 20-30 million lira!"
