Even though Rossi had arranged for someone to block the news, he didn't expect the paper to contain the fire.

In Italy, he is not alone, and although he has taken over most of the power of the prime minister during Mussolini's previous hospitalizations, it is still not the whole power.

In addition to Mussolini, there were several forces within Italy, which existed at the same time.

Attached to Mussolini's extended forces, the two factions of Ciano and Rossi. Among them, the Ziano faction was controlled by the king at the same time as the General Staff faction.

Even if one faction blocks the message, as long as someone in the other faction wants the message to spread, the message will not be blocked.

Ziano, who was eager to take over the post of prime minister, naturally did not let the news be blocked, so that the Italians would continue to think that the leader was named Mussolini.

But for the Italian people, it is difficult for them to see the truth and the inside story.

On the evening of the day of Mussolini's attack, news came that Mussolini's leader had been seriously wounded. People who heard the leader's high-profile discharge from the hospital not long ago couldn't believe it was true. It wasn't until Rosie saw that the news was really disgusted, so he let the official give a confirmation.

Radio in Italy announced the assassination of Mussolini to the whole country, and the whole country immediately entered a state of emergency.

The news plunged the whole of Italy into great confusion and panic. It wasn't until people saw that half of the national flag was lowered, and that the newspapers and all the news media were in uniform black, that they gradually understood in shock that this unbelievable fact was really born in front of their eyes!

Shocked at the same time, everyone's hearts. There are only two poignant questions left

Who is the murderer?

Is the future of Italy an external crisis brought about by the massive Soviet invasion of Europe, or an internal bloody darkness brought about by the death of Mussolini's assassination?

Because Ziano himself was the mastermind of the assassination, but he needed to hide the fact that he had assassinated Mussolini.

So he chose to selectively expose the assassination of Mussolini.

For example, he only revealed to the public that Mussolini had been assassinated. However, Jeanneau did not disclose the process of the assassination and how.

In other words, on the one hand, Ziano wants the people to know about the murder of the prime minister. On the other hand, he doesn't want the public to know how the prime minister was attacked.

However, even if the public does not understand the detailed process of all this, they can figure out who will be the biggest beneficiary of Mussolini's death once he dies.

"After the death of the dictator of the kingdom, the king who has been suppressed is the biggest beneficiary. It doesn't need to be us, even ordinary people can see it. In the office, Rossi analyzed thoughtfully.

Most of the people around him and in this office were members of the German Gestapo, as well as a small number of cronies who had been bribed by Rossi himself in recent years in Italy.

Basically, the central top of the Italian branch of the German secret police, as well as all of them, were assembled in this office.

"It's not a problem at all, people all over the world know it." Jonas, a secret police officer who had traveled to Italy from Germany in the first place and had been working with Rossi for more than ten years, shook his head and shrugged: "The problem is that we don't have any evidence that the king is behind it." ”

"What do you think?" Rossi stared into the eyes of her old friend from Germany.

"Even if the king were to push the whole thing, he wouldn't be the murderer himself." Jonas smiled: "The murderer who arranged the specific implementation must be someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." ”

"Ziano." Rosie said lightly.

"That's right, it's Ziano." Jonas nodded, dragged his chin with his hand and said, "The officials who spread the news in the first place are basically from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The newspaper that first disclosed the attack on the first instance was also an international news newspaper directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that mainly reported on weekdays. These people suddenly began to turn their attention to the assassination of the Prime Minister, and the intention was obvious enough. ”

"Go on." Rossi is clearly very dependent on his German partner. In fact, he has indeed done well all the way over the years at the suggestion of Jonas.

With Rossi's nod of approval, Jonas spoke more confidently and confidently: "When Ziano first worked for Mussolini more than ten years ago, he had already shown a lot of means. ”

Next, Jonas reviewed how Ziano helped Mussolini settle political opponents, infiltrate the political arena, install cronies, co-opt Italian consortia and arms companies, and use the Blackshirts to restrain all parties over the years.

"His talent is strong enough!" Jonas said with heartfelt emotion: "With his assistance, just a few years after coming to power, Mussolini became the most powerful prime minister in Italian history, and became the first person among the Italian leaders to fight the mafia. With his Blackshirts, he can even compete with the kingdom's army, and even the king can only choose to give in to him. ”

"It's not Ziano's work alone." Rosie interrupted lightly.

It wasn't that Rosie was disrespectful to his partner, it was just because Rossi had enough memories of that time to remember.

Mussolini was able to reach the pinnacle of power in Italy, and Rossi also made great contributions. During that time, Rossi always thought that he was one of Mussolini's most trusted and most needed ministers.

As a result, Mussolini sold him, and abandoned him without any psychological burden, and he was going to put Rossi to death!

This is the beam that can never be avoided between Rossi and Mussolini, and this feud will be remembered by Rossi for a lifetime.

Jonas, who understood the whole thing, nodded and said silently: "Yes, this is not the credit of Ziano alone. There are countless efforts in it, including you. Ziano alone is definitely not going to be able to do it to the extent that it came later. ”

Rossi frowned, and then Jonas said, "But Ziano thought he was the one who controlled everything, and he foolishly took the initiative to be the king's pawn. ”

"He'll be abandoned by the king soon." Rossi said without doubt: "The king also has his own interests, and he has to prove that Mussolini's murderer is not him." ”

Just after Rossi finished saying this, a report officer from the Italian branch of the Gestapo rushed into the office and reported urgently: "The latest news, Italian Foreign Minister Ciano, suspected of assassinating Prime Minister Mussolini, has been arrested by the palace minister Duke Aquaone with the royal guard at 5:30 p.m. today, downstairs in his office. ”
