Mediterranean hegemon

Chapter 54: Political Whirlpool (6)

Intrigued by these words, old Ciano was so angry that he slapped the table, ignored the mother and son, and went upstairs alone.

Contini had no choice but to shake his head, saying there was nothing he could do.

"Calais, tell me frankly, what do you think? Your father complained to me last night, and I don't know what Calais is worried about. More than 20 years later, when the leader is almost 65 years old, this prime minister is definitely He should remain low-key, modest and prudent now..."

Contini waved his hand and leaned close to his mother's ear: "Mom, to tell you the truth, if I could wait more than 20 years, I wouldn't be so anxious and this strategy wouldn't be... Your son doesn't have that much time, I think 10 years, I’ll be prime minister in 12 years at most!”

"What?" Now it was Madam's turn to be shocked. She subconsciously covered her mouth, "Jia...Jia Lai...you...you..."

"And in 10-12 years, I don't want to take over from the leader. I hope to take over from my father. Let's put it this way, in 6-7 years, when Ada and I get married and have children, our status and family will be better." Once it becomes stable, I want to support my father and let him transition for me for a few years, and then I will take over! After all, I am too young. If I can take over at the age of 36-38, I think I may be more mature.”

"You're crazy...really! The leader is only in his 40s...even if it takes another 6-7 years, he will still be in his 50s...you...you want to kill the leader?" She trembled all over.

"Mother, I don't want to kill the leader, I just hope he can enjoy life quietly. Let me do such hard work as politics and running the country." Contini shook his head and said, "Guess what I found out in the past two days What? The leader has a lover who goes to his office every now and then to have fun. On the surface, the leader works more than 10 hours a day in the Prime Minister's Office, but in fact, he only spends half of that time on official duties. He is becoming more and more casual now, not as diligent as he was at the beginning of the revolution, and many of his ideas are a bit whimsical, for example, he can stand by the window and watch the guards practice motionlessly..."

"Practice? What's there to see?"

"He is not looking at the team or morale, but at the clothing! He is more interested in fashionable clothes and dressing up than weapons. I made a suggestion to him, and he said: Calais, as a guard, dressing and dressing Spirituality comes first, weapons are not important! Listen, what’s the logic of this? It’s really fatal if the army doesn’t develop weapons!”

There was a solemn look on the lady's face.

"The leader's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and all parties are collecting cards. Believe it or not, if things continue like this, sooner or later someone will be blowing wind on his pillow, and he will mess up government affairs because of this performance. It's a mess." Contini said, "I originally wanted to give him money to dispel his greed, but if it backfires, it would be too bad! All in all, leaders are changing at a rapid rate, let alone 20 years. He doesn’t know what he will be like in 10 years!”

"Also, the leader has two sons, one is 10 years old and the other is 8. More than 20 years later, they will be nearly 30 years old. Are you sure that the leader will be willing to hand over power to me?" Contini said, "At that time, the leader also But over 60 years old, he can definitely wait until he is 70 years old, and then hand it over to his 40-year-old son. Then your son will be in vain! Continue to assist his descendants!”

"Your father would definitely do such a stupid thing!"

Contini shrugged: "So, now we must seize every opportunity, and judging from this rumor, there are also other competitors in the party who are taking action against me. The fact that I served as Secretary-General and got rid of the Secretary-General made them feel The pressure is on. My people have been investigating for a long time and can be sure that the source of the rumor is either in Milan or Rome, and it has nothing to do with foreign powers!"

The lady nodded solemnly: "You can be careful."

"The key point is that I can't be like my father... He is a good old man, can talk to everyone, and has no desperate ambitions, so no one regards him as an opponent, but I am different. I kill through a bloody road. "The leader came out with the titles of youth leader and leader's son-in-law, which is almost a thorn in their flesh. Who wouldn't want this position?" Contini then added, "The leader was assassinated unharmed this time. Who would dare next time?" Guarantee? What if something happens unexpectedly if I am not prepared at all? Other opponents will destroy our family! Moreover, this assassination reminds everyone that the position of the leader is relatively stable in terms of security. Not very reliable.”

These words made the old Mrs. Ciano also afraid: power and status are things that your opponents will not believe even if you want to give in when you are already in the position. It must be a target of public criticism.

"To be disrespectful to the leader, with his virtue of loving women, what if he sends a beautiful assassin?"

"He will one day fight with women!" Madam said angrily, and then added, "Does your father have this tendency? Recently, I found that he comes back later and later..."

"I..." Contini didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, I have no control over this matter. He is my father. What should I say? Besides, I have two people in Switzerland who I can't tell you about, so you can still control it!"

"You lend me the Dark One!"

"This is not possible!" Contini shook his head repeatedly. Is the Dark One going to stare at old Ciano? Wouldn't that be a mess?

"Okay, I'll just keep an eye on him. If he dares to mess around, I..."

"Don't... don't cause trouble in the whole city. My father is such a kind person."

"Now you're speaking for him instead? Is he already hiding something from me, and now you're here to take advantage of me?"

"No, that's not what I meant..." Contini was speechless. He found that his words were getting darker and darker, so he had to change the topic. "You should be careful during this period. Go out less and listen less to rumors. If something is wrong, call me. Forget it, you should go to Switzerland, Adriana is about to give birth!"

"Oh, I forgot about this. Then won't your father have no one to supervise once I leave? Before you become the Prime Minister, you need to learn the bad habits of the Prime Minister first!"

"Leave him alone and give him some slack. We must unite first." Contini warned, "Don't tell your father what I just told you about the 10-12 years ago. It can scare you." Break his courage! Maybe he won’t be able to sleep at night!”

Her mother chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't tell!"

After Contini left, old Ciano asked his wife: "What did Calais say to you to make you smile so happily?"

"He said Adriana is about to give birth and asked me to go to Switzerland to stay for a few days to give you a relaxed environment so that you can have a good time just in case there are goblins outside."

"It's inexplicable, I can't be bothered to pay attention to you!" Old Ciano jumped out and continued reading the newspaper...
