My Italian
Chapter 32: ultimatum
The secret meeting between Carlo and Depretis this time was hidden from everyone, because there were very few people in contact this time. Apart from the two parties, there were only the old butler and the chief guard, so the rest of Italy did not know that the two had already met quietly.
As for the content of the conversation between the two, nothing has been circulated, and only the two of them know. After this meeting, the two of them were even more tight-lipped, and it was impossible to mention it to others.
However, their meeting is not the most urgent thing for Italy at the moment. On the contrary, the Tunisia problem and the drought in the south are the most urgent problems for Italy to solve.
Yes, the drought in the south has been mentioned to be on a par with the Tunisia crisis. Speaking of which, it is all to blame for the French. Their invasion of Tunisia forced Italy to focus its efforts on dealing with Tunisia.
Originally, Italy was not financially prosperous, but in order to deal with the crisis in Tunisia, it naturally needed to spend money. It was not necessary to spend money on actions such as army assembly and deployment, declaration of public opinion, etc. This naturally wiped out the small amount of money in the government's pocket.
And the drought without government assistance is naturally intensifying. There have been several riots. The starving people who are too hungry have robbed several nobles. These robbed nobles ran into the city and cried to the government, which made the local officials also devastated.
But fortunately, the affected people were still a little sensible and did not make any moves to impact the government.
Of course, the local government cannot hide such a major event, and can only report the problem, so this has added a lot of trouble to the fairness of the court.
Of course, you can't just sit back and watch this mess, you have to find a way to solve it.
"The impact of the drought is too severe. In Sicily and the southern Italian region, the affected people have expanded to more than 5 million people. We cannot delay any longer."
Sforza, the Minister of the Interior, was speaking at the venue, and I saw that the important minister of the cabinet was expressing his opinions in a generous speech.
Following Sforza's speech, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more strange, and many were discussing in a low voice, which made Prime Minister Cairoli, who was presiding over the meeting, secretly hurt. Because he knows what the atmosphere in the venue means, to use an old Chinese saying, that is, when people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.
For many days in a row, he didn't come up with a solution, which made many people puzzled. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many issues to deal with right now, I might have to start questioning him publicly.
Of course not publicly, there must be some who express their doubts in private.
The reason is very simple. Everyone is at the same level. Although the Prime Minister is better informed, the ministers are not much different. It's very strange that no matter what kind of covert operation it is, some clues will be revealed.
Speaking of foreign affairs, Foreign Minister Sforza shook his head and said that there was nothing unusual about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Speaking of military matters, the military representative, General Saragate, waved his hand and said that the military did not find anything either.
Therefore, a group of people has not discovered the secret actions of the Prime Minister from all kinds of signs, which has to make people suspicious. Although he personally assured that the plan is very secret, it is impossible that there is no movement at all. Although I don't know what plan this is, it is nothing more than a diplomatic and military aspect.
This makes people feel very strange. On the one hand, there is a plan, but on the other hand, there is no movement. Many people are speculating whether the Prime Minister is greedy for power, so they find an excuse to drag everyone.
Of course, no one can say these guesses. If they make a mistake, it is not to settle accounts after the autumn, and they are accused of being traitors. Even the famous pro-French leader, Mr. De Pretis, the former Prime Minister, has been chanting these days to compete with the French in Tunisia.
Of course, there are also people who believe in His Excellency the Prime Minister, such as the Chancellor of the Exchequer who stood up to refute him.
"Your Excellency Sforza, we all know what you said, but now that the government has no money, what do you want us to do for disaster relief?"
What Jagali said changed the atmosphere of the venue.
"Don't you still have a government reserve fund of 80 million liras?"
Obviously, the Home Secretary came prepared this time, and immediately pointed out that there was still a sum of money in the government. However, his words made some people who understand financial operations shake their heads.
"Hahaha."
Sforza's words made Jagali laugh angrily, and he looked at the Minister of the Interior with incomparable contempt and said. "Do you know what the reserve fund is used for? Now take out the reserve fund. If there is another accident, you will be responsible for it?"
Every government has a reserve fund, but these funds are the most difficult to use. This is set up by the government to prevent bankruptcy due to uncontrollable financial reasons. Obviously, the Home Secretary has played the wrong card.
And the Home Secretary, who was deprived of his momentum, stopped speaking. It was obvious that he was defeated this time.
However, although the Home Secretary is not speaking, it does not mean that no one refutes the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"Your Excellency Jagali, the Ministry of Finance has no money at the moment, so what will we do next to deal with the popular riots caused by the drought and the crisis in Tunisia?"
This time, it was the Minister of Commerce and Trade Gullitsi, and his words made the people present whisper. That's right, since the Ministry of Finance has no money, Jagali, the chancellor of the exchequer, should come up with a solution.
Faced with the accountability of the Minister of Commerce and Trade, Jagali naturally has his own response. I saw him speak. "In this regard, we have approached the UK and Germany to discuss the loan, and the progress of the negotiations is not bad."
However, although Jagali gave a solution, there were still some people who were not satisfied, only to see the Minister of Agriculture Mark Leid open his mouth. "As far as I know, the current loan negotiated with Yingde is 5 million pounds. Although this amount of money seems to be a lot, I am afraid that it is not enough to solve our current difficulties."
Following the words of the Minister of Agriculture, the atmosphere of the venue became more and more strange, and many people felt that a storm was gathering in the venue. Obviously, this is someone who is dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, otherwise how could they understand so thoroughly. So many neutral people began to watch their noses and noses, and made up their minds to say nothing at this meeting.
However, as the Prime Minister Cairoli who presided over the meeting, he was not afraid of the scene in front of him. As an old politician, in the face of a situation where someone wants to make trouble, he can still be afraid.
Without waiting for the others to speak, he slapped the table and stood up, looking at each other sharply. "Then what should we do according to Lord Macleid?"
In the face of the imposing Prime Minister, as the Minister of Agriculture, Macleide cursed inwardly, "Why did I come across this?" "I think…"
"Snapped!"
There was another sound of slapping the table, and I saw His Excellency the Prime Minister scolding the other party loudly. "I think, what I think, is there any way you can, directly say yes or no. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
Consecutively robbed of his momentum, Macleid felt like a snowpack exposed to the sun. The act of wanting to speak was endured and there was no follow-up.
After securing the Minister of Agriculture, Cairoli looked at the other two challengers, but they were both captured by the Prime Minister's aura.
"Snapped!"
There was another sound of clapping the table.
"Since there's no other way, then listen carefully to what others have to say and don't think about making trouble."
With the majesty of the prime minister over the years, the obedient and obedient Cairoli will sit down and prepare to continue the meeting.
After seeing with their own eyes that the trio was cleaned up, the other neutral people put away their thoughts and continued to prepare to listen to other people's speeches.
However, this meeting was destined to be unsustainable. With a bang, the door was opened, and a panting official ran in. He ignored the eyes of the bigwigs who wanted to kill, and went directly to Sforza, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Your Excellency, this is an urgent diplomatic letter. Commissioner Maikon Ethel wants me to come and deliver it to you immediately."
Hearing the official's words, Sforza didn't care about anything else, and immediately opened his eyes and looked at it, but the more he looked at him, the worse his expression became. After reading the diplomatic letter, he handed it over with an ugly expression After the Prime Minister fell and sat down.
In the face of the foreign minister who was sitting down next to him, Prime Minister Cairoli did not help him at all, because he was staring at the diplomatic letter, but the more he looked, the redder his face became, his eyes seemed to be about to take this diplomatic letter. See through in general. But suddenly, Kairolli's eyes were closed, his shoulders slanted, and he fell to the ground with a snap. Faced with such a situation, the venue immediately became a mess.
In the diplomatic letter that fell on the carpet, several bold French words were clearly seen, an ultimatum.
