Hi,
 So it wasn't James Bond 007 who recruited Mussolini.
 I am little disappointed now...
 

007 was (allegedly) the room number of a storage-room in the basement of MI6' headquarter.
'James Bond' was actually an author, who wrote a book about the birds in the west indies.
Ian Flemming was a top man in British intelligence, before he wrote spy stories.
He was head of an 'operation James Bond', which rescued Martin Borman out of Berlin at the end of the war.
In this operation a John Ainsworth-Davis (the 'real' James Bond) brought Martin Borman to London.
This was all long before Mussolini became head of the fascist movement in Italy (around 1917).

Sorry for that...)

But also Stalin and Hitler were (allegedly) on the payroll of UK- intelligence:
