Mediterranean hegemon

The commandos in black uniforms swarmed forward and quickly moved the goods out of the cabin. In sharp contrast to the noise, laughter and even unscrupulousness of other National Socialist Party members, they were silent and just worked hard.

On the surface, it looks like this is a wooden box containing accessories for the Fast and Furious motorcycles. When opened, it is full of arms. Although it is an old item, it is in very good condition and does not affect its use at all. Everyone is smiling. When he saw 6 French Hotchkiss heavy machine guns with tripods and matching bullets, Röhm, who was also at the scene, was almost drooling: The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany was not allowed to produce heavy machine guns. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a single machine gun, but six of them suddenly appeared here. How could I not make people jealous?

It didn't take long for him to quarrel with Goering. He hoped that at least half of these weapons should be allocated to the stormtroopers, but Goering didn't care about him at all. The two of them started to quarrel in front of Hitler.

Röhm shouted: "Leader, Hermann only has more than 100 men, but he has so many weapons. We have thousands of stormtroopers, but we only have very few weapons. This is unfair!"

"Leader, you can't just look at the number of people, but also the mastery of weapons, the level of training and the party's loyalty. Look at the stormtroopers, how many of them are foolhardy and have military demeanor?" Goering retorted unceremoniously, "Besides, , do you know how to use weapons if they are given to you? Do you understand Hotchkiss?"

Hitler frowned and looked at Röhm, and then at Göring, who was blushing like a bull. He suddenly felt very embarrassed: he was a veteran who had participated in World War I, and he knew that weapons without training would not be effective. , let alone those stormtroopers who have not received military training, even he, a veteran of World War I, does not know how to use a machine gun, let alone French Hotchkiss! But what Roem said makes sense. More than 100 commandos are armed to the teeth, and thousands of people have very few weapons. This probably doesn't make sense.

And he also saw that the temperament of the commandos was completely different from that of the stormtroopers. They were clearly ordered and well-trained, and they were a complete team. Their tacit understanding even exceeded that of the army he served in. Wearing black uniforms, they stood out among the crowd. It was eye-catching. At first he thought it was because of the Roman guard uniform, but later he found out that it was not. It was the unique military temperament. Of course, the clothes also added a lot of points.

Of course, this set of clothes was designed by President Contini himself. It perfectly drew on the SS uniforms and achieved "localized innovation." In fact, Contini, who was very poor at drawing, could only draw a rough sketch. All other detailed design and pattern making work were completed. It was completed by Milan fashion designers and constantly adjusted according to the requirements. Everyone knows the level of Italian fashion design, which is only higher than the German level. Contini was rich, so he called on eight designers to work together, and soon came up with the "innovative" finished product and equipped it.

The last appearance of the black paratroopers was eye-catching enough, but the black guards were even more majestic. It is said that even Mussolini was tempted and thought that this kind of outfit should be replaced by the leader's guard?

Of course, Contini doesn't usually wear these clothes. He only wears iFlytek when training at the base. During the rest of the time when he is external, his entire outfit is a limited edition of Zegna. Not only does it cost him nothing, but Zegna will also give the United Group a sum of money - when advertising, Zegna can say "Ziano" The joint choice of the president and the management of United Group!" This advertisement has provided more than 100 senior managers of United Group with a full range of clothing products. This is also a major benefit of United Group. It does not cost money to dress well and the salary is valuable. Very high.

Not to be outdone, Gucci took away the clothing, accessories, and handbag business of the female managers and the wives of male managers for free, on the condition that Vivian and Adriana would be their image spokespersons for one year— ——What others asked for and couldn't do, Contini did it with just a phone call. Gucci only hates that President Contini does not have a wife, otherwise it would be a big gimmick, so after bringing Ada to Gucci last time, the entire company was almost crazy with excitement. When Ada returned to school, a car full of clothing followed behind her. , jewelry and bags, both for Ada and Mussolini’s wife Rachel. It was said that it was a gift from Contini, but in fact it was all paid for by Gucci.

There are also people who have the idea of ​​promoting the leader. Unfortunately, although Mussolini loves vanity, he really cannot compliment him in terms of taste. He looks like a nouveau riche when he wears good clothes. How can Contini, who was born in an aristocratic family, The president is personable, handsome and has an extraordinary bearing at first sight.

Hitler was still very naive about his taste in clothing at this time, but he liked the clothes the commandos brought back when he saw them. He thought it was the ideal uniform in his mind. It was much prettier than the traditional Prussian field gray, and he also wanted to Let this outfit become the uniform of the National Socialist Party, but after all, it is the Italian version, and he was still worried about how to promote it within the party. As a result, Contini directly said that there is no need to bother. If you like to send a batch of clothes to the National Socialist Party - - If you get it for free, you don’t need to promote it. But it's too late now. The revolution is about to break out. How can anyone still bother to worry about clothes?

Looking at the stormtroopers, they are almost a collection of street hooligans - it feels awkward no matter how you look at them. More importantly, Hitler had a strong feeling that although the commandos were carrying goods as if nothing had happened, they had actually formed a loose encirclement. If they suddenly launched an attack, it would be enough to wash the place with blood. Don't ask him why he suddenly thought so. This is the natural sense of a veteran who has been on the battlefield. Danger!

"Hermann, come here, I'm telling you." Hitler called Goering aside and said, "With so much munitions, the commandos will definitely not be able to use them all. Since everyone is working for the revolution together, give some to the stormtroopers?"

"Captain, I was originally going to give them some, but Rohm can't say that!" Goering seemed very aggrieved, "Where was he when we were struggling and training in Italy? I risked my life to fly a plane that originally required 4 people to operate here and forced it to land in the wild. Where was he? He didn't understand the situation at all! This batch of munitions is not yours or mine, it belongs to the Calais sponsoring party, he He asked for half of it, why didn't he ask for it from Calais? Let's see if the Italians would pay attention to him? Also, does he know how to use a machine gun? Calais gave me some advice, what does Rohm know? "

"What did Calais say to use it?"

"Go find a big truck, reinforce it with thick steel plates, strengthen its protection, and then install a heavy machine gun to transform it into an assault truck, and lead the troops to charge! There is no way to stop us in the city without tanks and direct-fire artillery! Then install electric loudspeakers on the assault trucks to broadcast, encourage the people, and carry a small number of unarmed comrades!"

Hitler took a breath: This is a fucking crazy idea, Calais is really good at making revolution!
