"Long live Italy!"

"Long live the leader!"

On the afternoon of November 4, Mussolini and 100,000 black-shirted troops finally arrived in the suburbs of Rome, and ran head-on to the young Italian League members who came to greet them, some Roman citizens watching the fun and police maintaining order.

Under Contini's organization, the Youth League of Italy made the welcome ceremony grand, atmosphere and pomp, which was particularly in line with the vanity of Mussolini's appetite. Contini's speech at the welcome ceremony was more in line with Mussolini's ideas:

"Today, tens of thousands of young Italian Union members and Roman citizens came to welcome the arrival of the leaders and the Blackshirts. This is not an ordinary welcome ceremony. This is a major event in the life of the Italian country and an important milestone in Italian history. This means that the Italian people who are staggering in the dark have a guiding light, and that the great and arrogant Roman spirit has a new inheritance. We are welcoming the flag bearer who transforms the country and brings hope and rebirth to the nation. We are welcoming the great savior of the 40 million Italian people...

After he has him, the country sees hope, all darkness and sin will be cleansed, and the order, stability, prosperity and prosperity we desire will come soon... I swear that the Youth Italian League will always be loyal to this great and sacred mission, always follow the leaders, and use our united strength to fight for a more brilliant future for Italy!”

After the king invited Mussolini to join Rome to form a cabinet, not only did Glendini stand completely on the side of the Youth Italian League, but even this league became popular.

A few days ago, Contini was facing a crisis of disbanding just because he was called to "train" by the police. However, after the time came, it suddenly grew to tens of thousands of people in just a few days. Although some veteran directors and officials were unwilling to absorb speculators who changed their minds, and did not want to make any contributions. However, with the fact that Mr. Boji, who was the father of the police chief, was pressed on them as vice chairman, Contini easily convinced them.

"Although Poddy had no contribution to the organization before, his presence would allow the police to help us in the future, and that's his contribution."

"Although other people are a little utilitarian now joining the organization, the more members, the greater the momentum and the stronger the appeal, the more we have, the more we have, the more we have, the more we will have in the minds of the leaders. Everyone will soon face graduation and job hunting. If you want to gain a seat in the executive or the legislature, the alliance is the best cornerstone - we are the young guards of the Party! The leader wants to transform the country, who can we believe? Who can we rely on without relying on it? We not only have to connect and organize Roman students, but also organize all secondary and high schools in all major cities such as Milan, Turin, Naples, Palermo, Bologna, Venice, Florence... Are you willing to be a director of 200 people or a director of 200,000 people?"

"If you think the leader will step down like the prime ministers before, and then I will say these words in vain. If you believe that the leader can do it for 20 years and can even promote us, you must follow the party unswervingly... This welcome ceremony is the time to show our abilities."

Although college students are still very young, most of them who can make a name for themselves among students have their own understanding of politics and power. Although they may not understand Contini's behavior of taking advantage of the situation at both ends, it does not prevent them from thinking about their future life. They are very clear about what members of the Blackshirt Army are composed of. Most of them are veterans, unemployed people, frustrated elements. There are only a very small number of people with high social status like Ziano. Mussolini doesn't even have a serious middle school diploma. If these people are placed in the ordinary group, these prides of heaven are completely despised, but what are they now? They are about to form a cabinet! This group of college students think they can also get a share of it with their own means and relatively high cultural qualities.

Under this persuasion, the directors accepted Contini's idea and used 120,000 yuan to organize the welcome ceremony. Contini naturally knew that the rapidly expanding Youth League was a group with only signs and no substantial core, but as the 19-year-old, it was the only biggest platform he could win. If he wanted to get into Mussolini's eyes earlier, he had to show his unique ability to climb up early. Moreover, his father, Ziano, was very clear in the telegram. Mussolini had verbally promised Contini to take on the position of Italian youth leader. Although the leader often made random promises and then refused to admit his account, at least not yet. If this step could jump up and gain a foothold, Contini's future would be bright.

Sure enough, after listening to Contini's speech that was a bit stingy, Mussolini not only did not feel disgusted at all, but thought that he was very good at speaking. He was worthy of being a top student at the University of Rome, and praised people for being so academic. Since Calais is so interesting, he also wants to praise him:

"Thank you for your welcome to me and your support for the Blackshirt cause! In you, I have seen strength, light, and a bright future and future of Italy! I will do my best to lead you to create a new history of Italy!" After saying that, he waved his hand imposingly, "Go forward!"

"Long live!"

The crowd let out a huge shout, surrounded Mussolini and his close comrades and surged into the city of Rome. Mussolini was going to greet Contini by his side, but Contini politely refused - this was the moment when Mussolini was making a big splash. He would not foolishly steal this kind of scenery. When the old Ziano in the crowd saw his son, he nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with his performance of knowing how to advance and retreat. He believed that he had not seen him for a few months and his son had matured a lot.

Other generals under Mussolini, especially those who have a good relationship with Old Ziano, all "tsk" and praised them: "This young man in Calais is good, I like it very much..."

After arriving in the city of Rome, Mussolini expressed his gratitude to Glendini who maintained order, which confirmed Contini's matchmaking relationship and accompanied the latter to the palace to meet the king. In fact, even if Contini didn't interfere, Mussolini would not be chaotic about Glendini who controlled the Roman police. But now with this relationship, and Podie is now Contini's main assistant, Glendini, who reciprocates, said a lot of good things about the Youth Italian League - this organization is raised, and his son can also benefit from it, right?

In order to show his strength, Mussolini, who was satisfied, invited Emmanuel III to review the troops the next day. 100,000 Blackshirts lined up and passed the reviewing stand in a terrifying formation and conducted training to show their majesty and invincible power. The last square of the team was the Youth League of Italian, which had just joined the Blackshirts. The famous Contini served as the leader and also appeared in front of the king. Faced with such a huge force, coupled with Mussolini's respectful attitude, the king increasingly believed that it was right to hand over the regime to fascisti.

It was not until the evening of the third day that the settled Ziano and his son took the time to sit down and talk.

"Calais, the leader is very satisfied with your performance and organizational skills. He thinks you are a good material for politics. I would like to ask if you are willing to work with him after graduation. He plans to appoint you as the Italian young leader..." said Ziano.

"What do you think?"

Old Ziano pondered: "I think it's an opportunity, but you should be low-key. You are still young and the road ahead is still long."

"I think so too, so I want to run a newspaper while continuing my college studies, focusing on young people, intellectuals, middle-class propaganda, and of course, the party needs some support for the funds and other things."

"Handling newspaper?" Old Ziano asked in confusion, "We have our own newspaper..."

Contini took out a bunch of manuscripts: "This is an article I wrote. I plan to publish a new newspaper. Do you think my level is enough to be an editor-in-chief?"
