1.1340 The plot of "Shakespeare vs. Shakespeare" is very full
"Madam, I'm helpless." In order not to affect the direction of the plot, Mrs. Katy chose to decline. What kind of international jokes are you going to China to secretly save a person who has been under house arrest for many years in the name of filming movies? What kind of godly plot is this?
"Of course, the specific work does not require you and your crew to complete. For this reason, I will send the most suitable candidate to go to China with you." Eda Mussolini will not give up easily.
"Madam, I need to know more details to evaluate the risks to be taken," Mrs. Katie replied seriously.
"Do you know the Blackshirt?" Eda Mussolini understood.
"Ah..." Mrs. Katie must have known it.
The Camicia Nera Italian fascist paramilitary organization. Sometimes called the National Security Volunteer Army (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza
Nazionale, referred to as MVSN, is a paramilitary organization established by Italy after World War I and was not truly disbanded until the end of World War II. The Blackshirts have an unignorable historical status in the modern Italian military history. Only the Redshirts led by General Garibaldi (during the Italian Unified War) can be compared with them. As an armed force fighting side by side with the Italian regular army, the Blackshirts have its own recruitment standards: they have the identity of a fascist party member.
, over 17 years old and under 50 years old, healthy and not serving in the regular army. The main founding members of the Blackshirts were nationalist intellectuals, young landlords against peasants and trade unions, veterans and some members of the Arditi suicide squad, the elite Italian troops during World War I. As Mussolini's power grew, their behavior became increasingly rough and used violent and threatening methods to fight Mussolini's opponents.
Simply put, Mussolini's Blackshirts are Hitler's SS.
Because of the fanatical fascist belief, the Blackshirt Army was equipped with the most elite soldiers with the best weapons and made the Blackshirt Army the strongest combat force in Italy. Since its establishment, it has participated in many foreign wars. Invaded Ethiopia, intervened in the Spanish Civil War, and participated in World War II in full. On the just-concluded Eastern Front, Val Tagliamento, a member of the Italian Russian Expeditionary Force, had 11 battalions of troops, and the losses were quite high. After participating in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 as an army reserve and used to fight against the Soviet Red Army's counterattack in the winter of that year, 90% of the battalion commanders, 70% of the officers and 55% of the soldiers died in Soviet land.
Compared to the coastal division that guarded Sicily without fighting, the combat effectiveness of the Blackshirt Army can be described as strong.
"After the dissolution of the Russian Expeditionary Force, many elite soldiers from Val Taliamento's Blackshirts arrived in the Far East (Pseudo) Manchuria Empire to protect the interests of the Hsinking Embassy and Italian citizens in the name of mercenaries."
"Manchurian Empire?" This is a very unfamiliar "country" that Mrs. Katy, who is widely known on the blog.
"Ah, it was once a province in northern China." Eda Mussolini, who had personally traveled to China, obviously knows the Far East better than Mrs. Katy, who heard of it: "Later, independence was achieved with the intervention of the Japanese Empire."
On March 1, 1934, Puyi ascended the throne and became the "Emperor". "Manchukuo" was officially renamed "Manchu Empire", and established its capital "Xinjing (Changchun)" with the year name "Kant". In November 1937, Italy recognized the puppet Manchukuo, which was the third country to recognize the puppet Manchukuo after Japan and Salvaldo. Then the puppet Manchukuo allowed Italy to set up an embassy in New Beijing (in today's Western Democratic Street in Changchun). In order to reflect the friendly relations between the two "countries" and to celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Mussolini gave a heavy gift - a copy of the Roman female wolf. This wolf was specially placed in the northwest corner of the Datong Park, the imperial park of Puyi, and it is currently in the History Institute of Northeast Normal University in Changchun. Then the puppet Manchukuo gave a Tang Dynasty stone lion in the name of Xinjing. The above deeds at that time had a special report.
"So, you want to realize your plan through this 'Manchurian Empire'." Mrs. Katy immediately thought of it.
"Yes, I call the wife of the New Beijing Minister in my private name, responsible for recruiting the black-shirt mercenaries." Eda Mussolini added: "Mrs. Sonya Cordée."
Italy established the Consulate General in Fengtian (now Shenyang) in December 1936 and appointed Louis Cordi as Consul General. On November 29, 1937, Italy officially recognized the puppet Manchukuo, and the next day it was upgraded to an "embassy" and moved from Fengtian to "New Beijing". On April 18, 1938, the "Letter of State" was submitted, and the two sides officially established "diplomatic relations". The "Missary" of the puppet Manchukuo to Italy was Wang Qingzhang. In 1943, the Mussolini regime in Italy collapsed and the "embassy" was closed. In the 1990s, the original building was used by the Real Estate Department of the Jilin Provincial Government, and later demolished, and residential buildings were built on the original site.
I have to say that the plot of "Shakespeare vs. Shakespeare" is very full.
"Mrs. Sonia Cordy, does this wife have any close relationship with the Blackshirt?" Mrs. Katy asked with a smile.
"Ah, she is the brave lady who retreated from Stalingrad to the Far East with the Blackshirts. She was the secretary of the embassy and married Minister Louis Cordi at the beginning of the year." Eda Mussolini did not hide it. Of course, as the time and space limitations of the people in the play, Eda Mussolini did not know that the wife of Sonia Cordi was a plot character from the plot fragments of Italiani brava gente. The actor in the real world is Tatyana Samoylova, the "people artist of the Russian Federation" known as "Russian Audrey Hepburn".
"Okay, madam." Mrs. Katy still responded with caution: "If the Manchurian Empire could participate in the creation of this film in the name of the (third) Empire Alliance, I will try to meet your requirements."
"Thank you for your efforts, Mrs. Kellerman." Eda Mussolini couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
"Everything is for the Empire." Mrs. Katie's expression was impeccable.
"Madam, the Empire will be as you wish." Instead, Eda Mussolini flashed a moment of hesitation.
Sending off several noble ladies. The female military doctor Carol Baker and the recovered female inventor Heidi Rama both walked out of the office next door.
"The next plot seems to be related to "Dragon Seed", Katie."
"I think so too, Carol." Mrs. Katie has always been cautious: "No hurry now. Let's talk about it when we complete our established performance script."
"Okay, Katie." The female inventor Heidi Rama was obsessed with the "Dora Cannon": "It is best to send a team to familiarize themselves with the operation of Gustav train cannons in the name of shooting."
"I will." Mrs. Katie smiled and said, "Don't worry. The casting photos taken by Lisa will be delivered soon. If nothing unexpected happens, our new sister is ready to take over "Dora Cannon."
