Mediterranean hegemon

After wandering around for an afternoon, Goering finally understood: this young man was so ambitious that it was jaw-dropping.

He did not regard the pilots, mechanics and ground staff serving in United Airlines as just civil aviation staff. He basically maintained the characteristics of the military. Although the style of the Italian army was obviously not comparable to that of the iron-blooded Germany, no matter how careless Italy was, The army is still an army, not what German civil aviation can compare with, and Goering knew the style of German civil aviation very well. Many of his friends worked there.

Moreover, Goering could see that it was inappropriate to use the word "idle" to describe United Airlines, because the atmosphere at United Airlines was very serious and disciplined, and everything was permeated with a militarized management style. If he hadn't known that this was a civil aviation base, He thought he was at an Italian air force base.

He asked in a low voice: "How did you do it? This is very different from the Italian army's style in my impression. In fact, the rules are stricter than those of the German aviation... You know, pilots always think highly of themselves. , I had a loose style, and I did a lot of extraordinary things at that time.”

"Herman, what you see is just the appearance. These people have only temporarily obeyed the rules here. I don't know if they are truly convinced. And even in this current state, I have paid a heavy price."

Contini and the Ministry of War agreed to transfer a total of nearly 600 personnel, but in the first month only more than 100 pilots, mechanics and ground staff were transferred. It is said that 9 people have been fired by Contini, and many others have been punished. The reason for the warning was disobedience to management. So now the entire United Airlines is serious. No one dares to take Contini, who holds the temporary rank of major and serves as the chairman of United Airlines, for granted. Although this man is only 20 years old, he is now not only bringing veteran politicians to court. The CEO, Matteo Ti, has made everyone stand up, and he also governs with an iron fist within United Airlines: not only does he have full employment rights, but he also controls the payment of salaries, and at the same time, he has developed a detailed and strict management system.

Although there is an agreement with the Ministry of War that employees cannot be fired arbitrarily without mutual consent, in fact, if these fired employees do not want to leave, they will not leave at all. It is not so much Contini's drastic action as it is his habit of being lax. This part of the army is not suitable for strict management again.

What kind of management is this?

At 7 o'clock in the morning, we reported to start running laps around the aviation base, 5 kilometers! Then there is strength training, endurance training, queue training, and after a break at noon, there is work in the aviation field. In fact, there are not many serious jobs in United Airlines at present. It is either repairing and maintaining the aircraft or flying the aircraft to maintain condition. Lin also saw the two 200-meter-high iron towers in the base. From his pilot's perspective, he knew that they were used for parachuting training. Needless to say, all pilots had to practice parachuting again - which was not a good job.

These are not so much jobs as they are military training, and this kind of training obviously starts from the basics. Strictly speaking, it is not suitable for this group of older people. Most of them are in their 30s and have families to take care of. Although he is a veteran, Contini still insists on doing so.

reason?

The first is, of course, to maintain authority. The military is the most difficult place to manage in the world. Without authority, there is no system. Without a system, there is no combat effectiveness. No matter how good the equipment is, you cannot win the battle. But Contini has never fought in a battle. He has never even served in the army, and he is still young. When he cannot suppress this group of people with seniority, military exploits, and age, he can only forge his authority by strengthening management;

The second is to maintain morale and condition. In the early days, pilots had very high physical requirements. They not only had to have good reaction ability, but also had excellent physical strength. Otherwise, flying for a period of time would tire people to death. Once the spirit is relaxed or the physical strength cannot keep up, that is The situation of plane crashes and fatalities - military plane crashes and fatalities are easy to explain. Every time a plane crashes and fatalities occur in civil aviation, it is a major accident, let alone in the future it will carry passengers, mail, and cargo. How could this happen? situation?

So this group of people who retired from the army suffered a lot: the training system was stricter than that of the authentic Italian army. Not only was the boss so perverted, but also Flavio, who was responsible for daily management, was also so perverted - this was a boss who didn't want to be disliked. I like an officer with a tough personality that is a bit un-Italian, but I didn’t expect that he was still here after being kicked out of the army. It’s really annoying.

"Herman, you know, the number of personnel that I have discussed with the War Department is 600. Now we only have one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are still going through the formalities. I heard that the process is not smooth. Many After people knew that I was very strict here, they started to give up and didn't want to come - they initially thought it was a good place to live leisurely, and they just needed to coax me and do tricks to make me happy. Some people may still be thinking and hesitating. Although I can provide more opportunities here, it is still an adventure. They don’t know what I will encounter in the future...So, I have to give them a little pressure and a sense of urgency," Contini said, "And as we all know, German soldiers. The sense of obedience and discipline is the best. I hope that their arrival can effectively neutralize this atmosphere and also create a sense of oppression for them.”

Goering finally figured it out: this young master is not playing tricks, this master wants to create a Second Air Force that belongs to him and is obedient to him. This is really a fucking fantasy! This weird thing only exists in countries like Italy, right?

"I will try my best to do it, but I hope to get a more comprehensive introduction brochure, what restrictions the Germans need to accept when they come, what treatment they can get, and what punishment they will receive in case of violation... You know, Germans can be extremely rigid sometimes.”

"That's no problem. I will give you a set of brochures before I leave. I have made a German version in advance." Contini smiled, "There are currently nearly 70 German engineers in United Motorcycle Company, and they are all working on I work there and a group of employees will arrive next month. I have a fascination with the Germans’ discipline and obedience, which Italians lack the most!”

"What you said is really humorous. The Germans lack the imagination and realism attitude of the Italians. They may be okay in fighting and producing, but their life is not romantic enough. They are also terrible in art. Maybe the Austrians are a little better."

"So I plan to introduce passionate Italian girls to young single Germanic guys..." Contini laughed, "This can be part of the treatment. Come on, there is a vast world, a relaxed atmosphere, and Food and beauty.”

"I will do my best!" Göring said quietly in a low voice, "If you do this, will the Prime Minister and the bosses of the War Department be unhappy?"

"Unhappy?" Contini's eyes widened. "I'm paying for this. What reason do they have to be unhappy? Why do they rush people out of the army? Isn't it because they dislike their age? They complained a lot and had to spend money, but I treated them as a villain and solved the problem for them, why are they unhappy? "

Goering nodded, and then said sympathetically: "But if you do this, you will probably lose a lot of money every year."

"Yeah... money will definitely be lost." Contini sighed, and then said in a light tone, "But for me who want to do a career, the things that can be solved with money are small things."

This guy is showing off so hard! Hermann Goering was speechless and could only give a thumbs up.

In fact, he still didn’t understand something: the reason why Contini wanted to introduce German elements was because he was afraid that in the future, the Air Force or Mussolini’s direct national defense needs would swallow up all the forces he had worked so hard to build. Germans, it's not that easy to swallow.

Contini is still very proficient in the principle of relying on foreign countries to respect himself...
