Chapter 154 The Hanged Man

Subtitle of this chapter: Milan's city derby battle

…………………………………………

"Goodmaugin, Mr. Weizmann."

"Goodmaoning, Mr. Einstein..."

"Mr. Yuan, just call me Albert."

"Hahaha, Albert, please call me Neo. By the way, let me introduce you to me. This is my friend Mr. Meng. He is a master of education from George Washington University."

The spirit is full of energy, full of energy, and nervous... No, the energetic Master Yuan pointed at the listless and yawning, looking like he was overly indulging in lust... No, the overworked Teacher Meng introduced.

It was noon on Monday, April 18, 1921. They were having lunch in the Rosewood Restaurant.

The Mengda educator worked so hard because he had been working all night and finally completed the preparation plan. He was so sleepy in the morning that he had to take a nap for a few hours. Now he was brought to lunch by his old classmate.

Meng Xiancheng was cheered up when he saw this great scientist and said respectfully: "Mr. Einstein, it is honored to see you."

The great magician also greeted him politely. "Hello, Mr. Meng. I am also very happy to meet an educational expert like you. Speaking of George Washington University..."

He turned his head and said to Yuan Yan: "Neo, I have a speech there today. Would you like to be my warm-up guest?"

The so-called warm-up guest is the person who came on stage to introduce the speaker before the speech. Of course, this is a very long-faced thing for Master Yuan.

Yuan Yan, who was overjoyed, maintained a calm expression. When she was about to agree, she felt a pain in the back of her left hand...

He looked at the pain in a hidden way and found that there was a scar inexplicably there. It seemed that "God of Justice" was summoning him.

Master Yuan had no choice but to show a regretful expression and said, "Albert, I'm sorry. I have something to do today. It seems that I can only be your speaker after returning to New York..."

The Kingdom of Italy in 1921 was in an eventful autumn, more precisely, the eve of the Red Revolution.

To be honest, compared with the Republic of China and the Great Japanese Empire, which "stop the country to win", the Kingdom of Italy also put in some strength during the war.

In fact, before World War I, Italy, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were allies. However, after the war, they remained "neutral" for a period of time, and were actually bargaining with both sides.

Later, with the efforts of Britain and France to win over, Italy eventually turned to the Allies. After declaring war on the Allies in 1915, he immediately stabbed him hard behind the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, the noodle country was the noodle country after all. They launched 11 Battles of Isongzo River, and the Italian army suffered more than 1 million casualties during this period. Although they delayed the strength of more than 40 divisions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they never achieved the battle attempt.

On the contrary, in September 1917, more than 1 million Italian troops were pushed forward by only 250,000 German and Austrian coalition forces in the Battle of Capoleto and lost nearly 14,000 square kilometers of land.

This is certainly not the first time that the Italians were embarrassed on the battlefield. They were defeated by Uncle Black in Ethiopia once in 1895. Bismarck once sarcastically said: "They came to the African continent with a mouth full of cavities and great appetite."

It is understandable that the remnants of the Teutonic Knights and the Habsburg were unable to defeat them, but even Uncle Black could not do it. This was really embarrassing. It was not just a shame for the face of the Italians, but the face of all whites.

So much so that some extreme racists at that time believed that the Latin people were third-class people of Europa. I don’t know if the ancient Romans would be so angry that they would roll in the grave after they knew this statement...

It probably won't be. Because it's worthy of the "lucky" of the ancient Romans that the Italians who live on the Apennines today are not their direct descendants.

Since the late Roman Empire, the "big boot" that reached into the Mediterranean was taken by many ethnic groups in turn. In addition to the barbarians who were moving westward, there were even the Ala.

The term "mixed" is really well deserved for Italians.

In the years after the end of World War I, Italy, like many old European countries, fell into a very serious fiscal and economic crisis.

This country, whose total national income is only 20 billion lira, had military expenditures of up to 145.936 billion lira during the war. Before World War I, a US dollar could be roughly exchanged for 20 lira.

Such huge debt not only caused serious inflation and financial chaos in Italy, but it can be said that the government's finances are close to collapse.

Once the economy was not good, politics naturally began to become chaotic. Especially under the encouragement of the October Revolution, leftists all beat the red flags of sickles and hammers.

Starting from April 1920, nearly one million farmers and veterans spontaneously resisted taxes and rents in rural Italy, and finally developed into an area occupancy movement.

In August of the same year, another campaign of seizing factories broke out in major cities, with as many as 600,000 participants. Especially in the north, all large factories were in the hands of workers for two or three months.

So, our Lord Justice saw a chaotic scene in Milan, the former capital of Western Rome and later the world's fashion capital.

Mr. Chandler, Little, went to Milan, Italy alone, and everyone else changed to Paris, France.

Just as he stood in front of the hotel window and looked at the lively street, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Yuri...well, now you should call Mr. Hermann Augustus von Heinrich, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Neo. Did you see it?"

"Well... Hermann, I saw it. Oh, Milan is really lively. They fight on the street early in the morning, and even use knives! Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, who are they with whom? Can't it be the fans of AC Milan and Inter Milan that started fighting?"

Not to mention, AC Milan and Inter Milan have indeed been established at this time.

"Neo, I didn't expect you to be a football fan... Just look at the flags and clothes, you'll know. On one side are the strikers, on the other side are the police... And the Aldith Volunteer Team who came to pick me up."

The so-called Aldith Volunteer was established during World War I and was the general term for volunteers from all over the country. They fought bravely, and even ignored death. On the battlefield, they held bombs in their hands, held short swords in their mouths, and sang war songs, which made the enemy frightened... In fact, the Germans were not afraid of such a mob.

To be honest, if these people were thrown into the trenches, machine guns and artillery sing the Western Front, it would definitely be the life of cannon fodder. Fortunately, Italy and the Allies fought mountain wars, so many members survived.

The Alditer Volunteer is now the ace force in the hands of the "upside-down man". In fact, they are the predecessors and backbone of the Blackshirt Army.

…………………………

Everyone is so excited, there will definitely be additional updates this week.

After reading some discussions in the comment area, Murong explained it again.
