In early April Pavolini again raised the plan, which he called "the Epic of the 50,000," claiming that 50,000 Blackshirts would follow Mussolini if he made a stand in the Valtellina.
Aprilli alguses tõstatas Pavolini taaskord plaani, mida ta kutsus nimega "50 000 epopöa"; seda seetõttu, et ta väitis, et kui Mussolini tugipunkti Valtellinasse viiks, järgneks talle 50 000 mustsärklast.
