My Italy

Although Carlo solved the funding problem, it was certainly not that simple to build an R\u0026D center. He needs to deal with a lot of things such as site selection and finding someone to run the electrical R\u0026D center, which makes his life so fulfilling every day.

Beyond that, Carlo had other ideas.

The small island of Caprera, located in the northeast of Sardinia, is the residence of Italian national hero Garibaldi. The island has become very famous since Garibaldi moved in. There is an endless stream of people coming here every day, but Garibaldi does not want to see them and enjoys himself on this island alone. There is nothing wrong with raising flowers and fishing every day.

But today, Garibaldi's leisurely life ended. A letter from Rome appeared in front of him. The unique symbol on the letter, a cross and crown with a red background, was not seen by Garibaldi before.

Of course, at that time, he was still fighting for the unification of Italy, and he had also met the Father of Italy. Although the two ideas are completely different, the determination to unify Italy can be felt in each other.

If not, how could Garibaldi be willing to follow in his footsteps and contribute to the cause of Italian unification. Of course, there were conflicts between the two because of ideological issues. But in the end, with the combined efforts of the two, the Kingdom of Italy was unified. When the basis for all cooperation is gone, parting ways is inevitable.

However, Garibaldi's huge prestige in Italy at this time made him fearless of threats and accusations from anyone.

But now the kid from the Savoy family actually wants Garibaldi to help him. Isn't this funny? Who doesn't know whether Garibaldi is a republican or a republican who has fought against the enemy? If you look at the fact that the government has specially arranged personnel to protect him on the island, you will know the attitude towards him in the kingdom.

And how should I put it that a person like him who was almost under house arrest could still attract the attention of the new king.

Garibaldi looked at this letter with tender handwriting and couldn't help but think deeply.

"What's wrong, Giuseppe?"

Seeing Garibaldi meditating while holding a letter, Cosentz Thesis, a good friend, asked with concern. This is one of the few good friends of Garibaldi, and the two have fought side by side for many years. Compared with the aging Garibaldi, Cosentz is much younger, but no matter how young he is, Cosentz is still in his fifties.

"Nothing, this is just a letter from the king who ascended the throne. In the letter, he said that he admired the red shirt army I created and hoped to meet these Italian men who fought hard for the country."

"Haha, this will disappoint the king. The red shirts are all old."

There is a reason for Cosenz to say this. The recognized Red Shirt Army refers to the army that Garibaldo went on an expedition to Sicily to capture the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. They were called the Red Shirt Army because they all wore red military uniforms.

This army defeated the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and captured its capital, Naples. In the end, Garibaldi dedicated the kingdom to Emanuele II and helped him ascend the throne as King of Italy.

Later, during the Italian-Austrian War, Garibaldi formed another Red Shirt Army. In addition to the Franco-Prussian War, Garibaldi formed three volunteer armies.

However, the most famous one was the expedition to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Twenty years have passed since then, and the good guys have become greasy uncles. That's why Cosentz said that the young king was afraid that he would be disappointed.

Obviously, Cosentz regarded Carlo as the kind of boy who admired Gallipoli and wanted to admire the heroic appearance of the red shirt back then.

Facing the words of his old friend, Garibaldi shook his head. "I feel something is different. You and I have seen this young monarch at that time, and he doesn't look like a young man."

"Have you discovered anything?"

"That's not true."

"Then why do you think this boy is not simple?"

"intuition!"

Cosentz is still very convinced of his old friend Garibaldi's intuition, which saved the lives of many people on the battlefield and led them to defeat many opponents. So when Garibaldi said the words "intuition", Cosentz's expression turned serious.

"So, what are you going to do this time?"

"At the moment, I don't know. But since His Majesty wants to see me, he still needs to see me. But this time I don't plan to see him directly. How about you go for me?"

Cosentz was a little surprised when he heard what his old friend said. He didn't expect Garibaldi to want to represent him.

"Is this appropriate?"

"Is there anything inappropriate? If I go to Rome, many people will feel uneasy."

Garibaldi's explanation made Cosentz smile. "No problem. Since you don't want to attract attention, I might as well move around."

Garibaldi smiled like a child when he heard Cosentz agree. "Then I'll trouble you this time. When you come back, I'll make my best seafood pizza to treat you."

"My mouth is watering right now because of what you said. When I come back, you need to make pizza for me for at least three days."

"no problem."

After the two made an agreement, Cosentz left Caprera Island on a transportation boat that afternoon, just like he had experienced in the military.

Carlo wanted to know nothing about Garibaldi's actions. Of course, he contacted Garibaldi because he wanted to use the momentum of this national hero to add weight to himself.

Of course, in addition to that, Garibaldi's red shirt team, which was so powerful in Europe, he didn't have any ideas. Of course, he does not want to completely accept the entire red shirt army. Although a few thousand red shirt troops are no problem for the government, it will cause dissatisfaction in the army.

Well, the Italian Army was a complete joke in later generations (and it is still), but to Carlo now, it is like a pillar of heaven. Moreover, the Army is deeply involved in the country. If he cannot reach the point of monopolizing power, he will never touch this hornet's nest.

He just wanted to absorb the essence of the red shirts and form a small force that was completely loyal to him. If you want both loyalty and sufficient combat effectiveness, then after many calculations, only Garibaldi's red shirts are the most suitable.

I hope Garibaldi is as heroic as the rumors say, otherwise Carlo's desire to build his own team will be really troublesome.
