Mediterranean hegemon

Before Goebbels arrived, Contini had carefully arranged positions for him: editor-in-chief of the world news and political commentary section of "Youth", executive editor of the IBC News Department and deputy director of the United Group's Propaganda Office. This was his first important position. A German liberal arts student!

These positions seem very inconspicuous, and even make people feel that they are overqualified. Is this what a doctor does? You must know that both "Youth Daily" and IBC are headed by university students at this time, but in fact Goebbels's position is very important - Goebbels will be the second person to combine "Youth Daily", IBC and United Group Public Opinion Promote characters who are an organic combination of the three.

Who is the first person? Contini himself!

Antonio understood his arrangement and asked doubtfully: "Master, is this Goebbels very capable?"

"He will surprise people!" Contini smiled, "I also want him to organize United Films!"

"But he is German! In the field of media, we have not yet adopted the habits of Germans. As for making movies..." Antonio was stunned for a moment, "Italian film industry is far more developed than Germany!"

"It doesn't matter if you are a German, what I want is ability, no matter which country he is from. There is currently no such person in Italy, and even if there is, I can't use it." Contini smiled, "Maybe I can barely count myself as one, but I have For other more important things, I don’t have so much energy to focus on the media, so I have to find someone to help me! As for movies, which aspect to look at, such as romance, romance, and content that makes money, then Goebbels probably can’t do it. If He does his best to make large-scale documentaries - I happen to be such a person who makes movies not to make money, but to burn money!"

"Okay!" Antonio was once again defeated by the young master's arrogance. Although the Pope had just signed an agreement with the government and the promised US$30 million in preferred stock payments would soon be in place, it was not such a hassle.

On November 11, Goebbels rushed to Rome with more than 400 German engineers, technicians and skilled workers, and told Contini very seriously that at least 800 people would go south to the United Group before the end of the month. Work. The political orientation and work ability of the personnel have been preliminarily reviewed to ensure that no one is cheating.

Contini was very satisfied with this seriousness and said with a smile: "Doctor, now we can work together. What do you think of your work?"

"Not yet, everything is up to you." Standing next to Contini, who was 6 years younger than himself, Goebbels looked very humble. "Comrade Goering told me before coming here that I must learn more from you."

"You're very grateful. Comrades work together to do something together. In terms of age, education, and seniority, I should learn from you."

"No, no! These are not important. Your success in the Italian revolution and the rapid growth of the United Group is enough to prove everything."

Contini refused to be more condescending to him. He immediately informed him of the three appointments and asked if this arrangement would work. If you are not satisfied, you can continue to adjust.

Goebbels was slightly startled. He obviously quickly saw that there was a lot of knowledge behind these positions. His face was very excited, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "I am new here, I don't understand anything, and the Italian I learned unexpectedly is very stammering." , can you work with the president as a secretary for a few days? These positions are very important. I can't just take it. I have to prove my ability to you and other colleagues before I can start my work."

"Doctor, we are comrades, you can just call me Calais in private." Contini smiled, "In this case I will make my decision for once. I will announce your appointment first and stay with me to get familiar with the situation in Italy for the time being. Secretary Don’t say that. Asking a doctor to be a secretary to a junior student will scare people to death.”

Goebbels and Antonio both laughed.

Just at this time, someone came to Antonio to discuss matters. Goebbels saw the opportunity and communicated with Contini: "I have something to report to you in advance... I have been appointed as the secretary of the Italian German branch of the National Socialist Party, mainly for the purpose of To unite the German employees and their families of the Group to carry out party building work, my superior is Comrade Goering. However, he discussed with me for a long time before coming here and suggested that I listen to your opinion on this matter. Your stance and support are crucial. ”

Contini sighed: "Doctor, this is a bit difficult to handle..."

"I know it's not going to be easy, so I told you about this task on the first day." Goebbels boasted, "You are not only the elder and leader of the party, but also the founder of the party's guiding ideology. Your opinions are of utmost importance." It’s very important. If you think I can carry it out, I will work according to the requirements; if you think it can’t be done, I won’t carry it out and I will find another way to report it back home.”

Contini nodded: "The situation of the United Group is quite special. It clearly interferes with workers' political beliefs, especially organizational participation. Generally, they are only allowed to join the Youth League or Fascist. Other organizations are generally not allowed to infiltrate, although I am also a member of the National Socialist Party. I am a member of the party, but I can’t talk about this matter for the time being, otherwise it will cause management chaos. However, it will not work if you explain it so simply and neatly. It will affect other comrades’ views of me: After all, I am a member of the party, these Germans. Not even Italian after all.”

Goebbels pondered for a moment and then said: "I have a compromise idea..."

"you say."

"The ideologies and principles of the National Socialist Party, the Youth League and the Fascists are basically similar. I suggest that the Germans working in the United Group join the Youth League first, and then I will develop National Socialist members from these mature members, so that they can span two close friendly parties. What do you think about this? I will apply to join the Youth League as soon as possible."

Contini's eyes lit up and he thought it was a good idea: Goebbels must first help the Youth League develop members before developing National Socialist members. He was quite satisfied with this order, so that the Youth League could seize this group of National Socialist members; secondly, the National Socialist Party was an important link, and he had to hold it firmly. If he refused to develop it in one sentence, it would not only affect his relationship with Hitler and others, but also affect future relationships. The good relationship he had established before would be alienated, which was not good for his long-term plan.

He was more satisfied with Goebbels' attitude. He actually knew what the other party was going to do, but Goebbels pointed out this problem as soon as he arrived, which showed that he was very honest with himself, which was a good starting point for cooperation.

"Your idea is good, I accept it, let's do it!"

"Master, I just received a call from the master, he asked you to call the Prime Minister's Office as soon as possible, the leader called you twice today and couldn't find you."

Contini nodded, picked up the phone and said a few words, his face became solemn, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will do it!"

"The leader has something to ask you to do again..." Antonio sighed, "Who is going to be unlucky this time?"

"Who else, it's the Socialist Party's bastards who are lingering again!" Contini gritted his teeth and cursed, then called out, "Let's discuss how to deal with this matter!"
