On January 14, 1923, when the French and Bibi coalition entered the Ruhr area, the German authorities announced "non-violent non-cooperation". The day after the Mark exchange rate fell sharply, Contini opened fire.

The first fire was to close most positions that bet on the decline in the Mark exchange rate as much as possible and to urgently transfer externally. This time point was less than 12 hours before the German government announced emergency economic control and stopped all foreign exchange circulation. When the ban was issued, Antonio, who was responsible for handling, used some methods to transfer most of the US dollar out of Germany, because at the last moment everyone was racing against time and didn't care about covering up too much.

At this point, Contini got a total of 15.08 million US dollars in the game, of which 10 million went to the United States, 5.08 million flowed back to Italy, partly turned into a joint industry, partly becoming liquid capital, and there is about nearly 600,000 US dollars in Germany that cannot be left. However, the Weimar government dared not offend the proprietors, and only restricted circulation, redemption and withdrawal, and did not order confiscation or forced exchange. In other words, the final payment can continue to exist in the form of numbers on the bank account. Unless you are willing to actively exchange it for marks, it will not be used at all. It can only be a string of numbers - if you are not lucky enough to catch up with the bank's bankruptcy, this number will eventually disappear.

But for Contini, it doesn't matter whether this money can be turned into US dollars or not. He has already made a lot of money. What's more, this batch of US dollars can be replaced by Mark to pay the horse-distance fee for engineers and technicians who left BMW to Italy, and it will not be wasted at all. Contini originally only dug more than 20 people, but because the Ruhr crisis has been brewing and breaking out, many engineers and technicians felt threatened. They were smart and resigned from BMW and joined the ranks of gold-tripping in Italy under the persuasion of friends or colleagues.

Antonio, who is in charge of these affairs management, sent a telegram saying that the number of people agreeing to go south to work in Italy has exceeded 50, and there are even engineers from MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and other companies asking him whether he should consider it. Contini was overjoyed and said that as long as he is skilled, he would not refuse all the people, and even besides engineers and technicians, there would be a group of skilled workers with the best skills. He is now planning to clean up the Wanguo brand aircraft, machinery, power, vehicles, and aircraft industry practitioners.

He told Antonio that single German engineers are especially welcome. As long as they have a skill and are willing to come to Italy for a long time, they can help them solve personal problems in Italy. Italian girls are very enthusiastic, more open and lively than German girls, and they are not easy to deal with engineers? As for houses, money, and cars, as long as the United Group's banner does not fall, there is absolutely no need to worry. At worst, he can put them on it first. There is some ready-made land, how much does it cost to build a family building?

Antonio was surprised that he had this idea, which was incompatible with the traditional Italian capital operation system. How could capitalists worry about these personal matters? But Contini had his own considerations. On the surface, this increased costs and expenses, but increased employee loyalty and satisfaction, which was beneficial to the long-term development of the company. United Group did not want to be a nouveau riche who could make a fortune and left, and was prepared to carry out solid promotion of multiple business formats.

The second fire was burned by Youth Daily. Other newspapers are long reports on the Ruhr crisis. The content on the front page of Youth Daily is briefly explained, but the editorial article is shocking, and it publishes a long comment written by Contini, "On Hypocrites, Two or Three Things of the Dual-Departed Character Mr. Matteoti - What Imagined by the Ruhr Crisis". Not only is the title very exciting, but the content is also very popular:

"...Now there are a group of social activists, even some parliamentarians, who claim to be public intellectuals and representatives of public opinion, and are willing to find fault all day long and claim to be flawless saints. In fact, they are disgusting people who seek fame and reputation and have two sides. Mr. Matteoti is a typical and master of this group of figures...

At the beginning of the war, the Socialists strongly clamored for neutrality, opposing to join the war on the side of Britain and France, and even fired Mr. Mussolini because of this disagreement. After Britain and France were willing to pay the price for Italy's participation in the war and promised Italy to take back their homeland, they couldn't wait to jump out and say that war was the only option to resolve Italy's related issues, enhance Italy's image, and safeguard Italy's interests. They advocated joining the war quickly and declared war on the German-Austrian group on the side of the agreement. After the war, these masters jumped out and accused them of being armed, exhausting the people and losing money, and Italy had no gains... They advocated neutrality, they were also the ones who advocated participating in the war, and they were the ones who opposed participating in the war afterwards. What was going to do?

When it comes to opposing the original government, you make noise every day, saying that the government is incompetent and must be reformed, otherwise Italy will have no hope. But after fascist rises and launches the people's revolution and refreshes politics, it is urgent to jump out and say that this behavior is illegal and essentially mob politics. This statement is surprising. Do you only allow you to oppose the former government and not allow us to oppose it; you only allow you to start a revolution, not allow us to start a revolution? What is the reason for this?

When criticizing the current government, you are even more spitting and trashing. Today, the government is corrupt and incompetent, tomorrow, the government officials are corrupt and inefficient, and the day after tomorrow they say nepotism and nepotism... It seems that they are both eye-catching and vivid. After careful analysis, they cannot stand scrutiny at all. After Prime Minister Mussolini formed a cabinet, except for the change of cabinet ministers, more than 99% of the administrative officials of the other central and local agencies were retained. If the government really has what they call such a disbelief, then it is the past two months. Could it be that these behaviors did not exist before. Just because a prime minister was replaced, the originally honest and dedicated government officials suddenly became villains?

I don't deny that the government has problems of one kind or another, but in the final analysis, it is a human problem. These problems are not only present now, but have already existed. The Socialist Party has not been in power, nor has anyone ever been prime ministers. The people have given you opportunities, and you have not done it well and even exacerbated this disadvantage. Now, you have used problems that have not been able to solve for more than ten or twenty years to require the new prime minister to solve them in just over two months. In addition to making things difficult for others, double standards, and political speculation, I really can't see any other intentions!

Among them, Mr. Matteoti performed the most outstandingly. He wrote articles from time to time to criticize the government and made public speeches from time to time to accuse the government and the ministers of relevant departments. But as for himself, in order not to wrongly accuse Mr. Matteoti, our Youth League conducted a field investigation for more than a month and came to a surprising conclusion:

As the so-called inefficiency of administrative efficiency, Mr. Matteoti is well-deserved to be the leader: they have counted the attendance records and commuting hours in the last 45 days. Mr. Matteoti has only 4 days to be completely on time, and the rest of the time is either late or leave early;

The so-called serious waste, Mr. Matteoti is also a particularly prominent example: they analyzed the expenses he reimbursed through parliamentary channels. His expenses were more than three times the average. Many of them were activities within the social party, entertainment and administrative expenses, which were placed under the parliamentarians for reimbursement, which was damaged by public welfare;

As the so-called corruption and depravity, Mr. Matteoti is also unwilling to fall behind: during a social survey, members of the Youth League found that Mr. Matteoti has been in and out of the red light district three times in the past two months. Although we understand a man's physiological value orientation, can he manage the things in his crotch before he is hypocritical to others?

As soon as this editorial was released, the entire Roman media and public opinion circle caused a sensation. The next day, newspapers including the People's Daily, the Evening Post and other newspapers reprinted the full text and followed up. Then the Socialist Party immediately fought back on the media controlled by the party, and the big voices and big amplified the debate quickly escalated...
