My Italy

Bismarck agreed to the demands of the two countries and the results of this negotiation were basically implemented. However, the final signing by the three parties was still delayed until ten days because disputes over many details prolonged the negotiation time.

But no matter what, when this new alliance treaty appeared in front of Carlo, he was sincerely relieved. This negotiation was so difficult that it almost angered Germany. Even if it costs Italy two colonial naval bases. Of course, this effort is worth it, at least it allows Italy to gain support from its allies.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bacona."

After signing his name on the treaty, Carlo thanked Bacona who stood in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I am so ashamed of myself."

Bacona, who knew his own affairs well, felt that he had made little contribution to this negotiation and could not bear the praise from the king.

"It's okay. As long as we achieve our goal, Bakona, there is no need to worry about it."

Carlo, who knew what his foreign minister was thinking, casually tried to persuade him. "Besides, Bismarck is very familiar with you. Sometimes, if something unexpected happens suddenly, we might be able to achieve our goal. Isn't that how we achieved it!"

Well, Carlo's persuasion is still very effective, and the Foreign Secretary is no longer obsessed with this matter.

After the two exchanged a few words, Bacona left with the document signed by Carlo.

After the Foreign Minister left, the captain of the guard came in holding a large document.

"Your Majesty, this is the information you asked the intelligence department to collect."

"Put it here first."

Facing Carlo's instructions, Felici placed all the information on Carlo's desk. The towering information completely covered Carlo's entire body.

"Your Majesty, this is all information collected by the intelligence department in the past ten years. In addition to military information such as garrisons, transportation, military depots, and supply points, there is also social information such as the population, products, and ethnic conflicts in each region. In addition, the climate , hydrology and other information also occupy a part.”

After listening to Felici Mickey's words, Carlo picked up an intelligence document and read it. Just a few words on the cover, a summary of intelligence on Albania.

Pick up a copy again, which is a summary of Crete intelligence. Next, the intelligence collection on Macedonia, Thrace, and Libya appeared in Carlo's eyes.

Seeing the king picking up intelligence materials and looking at the covers one after another, Felicity Mickey, the captain of the bodyguard, spoke. "Your Majesty, this is compiled specially by the intelligence department. The main reason is that the original data is too complicated and affects reading."

Ferrimich's explanation made Carlo smile. "I'm determined."

After feeling that it was about the same, the captain of the guard quietly withdrew, leaving Carlo alone to flip through the information in his hand.

This situation lasted until the lights came on, and Carlo, who felt his eyes were dull after watching for a long time, stood up from his chair.

It was okay not to stand up, but as soon as he stood up he felt dizzy.

"Oops, I'm a little tired."

But there is a saying, the ignorant is fearless. Although Carlo set his next target on the Ottoman Empire, after carefully studying the situation, he found that the Ottoman Empire was not weak.

Although it was beaten one after another by the Russians, it also brought an army with rich combat experience to the Ottoman Empire. Its equipment closely followed Europe. Its troops stationed in Europe were generally equipped with breech-loading guns.

However, the Ottomans relied more on its huge army, with a standing army of 400,000 to 500,000, making it the key to suppressing local separatism.

Of course, the numerous ethnic groups, backward political system, and backward military organization of the Ottomans were also the main reasons that restricted the combat effectiveness of their army.

For Italy, it is still somewhat difficult to completely defeat the Ottomans militarily. The main reason was that Italy's economy could not prolong the war for too long, and the combat effectiveness of the Italian army made it difficult for Carlo to feel relieved.

But looking around Italy, Carlo really couldn't think of anyone to attack except Osman. Don't worry about other European countries. Spain is completely unable to move. Greece also has the United Kingdom behind it. As for the two neighbors, it would be better if they don't fight.

It seems that apart from Osman, there is no choice.

But this is the first step in the rise of Italy. Carlo will win it no matter what, even if it drags down the economy. I didn’t realize that I had to pay such a high price, and it would be unjustifiable if I didn’t get started.

However, if he wanted to fight the Ottomans, Carlo still needed to prepare in advance, and he had already thought of a way for this.

The weather over the weekend was great, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, making it a good time to travel.

But today's palace is a little different, because there are several carriages parked at the entrance of the palace. The guards, who were familiar with these carriages, were all whispering about what kind of meeting the king was convening. He actually called the prime minister, foreign minister, finance minister, and navy and army ministers together.

But as the guards guarding the gate, they have no right to know this.

In fact, except for the captain of the guard who knew something, no one else knew. In the conference hall, the important ministers were chatting among themselves before waiting for the king's arrival.

However, their chat was still very clear. The ministers on the government side were just chatting among themselves and did not care about the military side at all.

"These civil servants are really hateful."

As the Minister of War, Admiral Saragat, it was natural for him to go to Admiral Golek, the Minister of Navy, to complain.

"What's the matter, Saragate?"

Faced with the sudden words from the Minister of War, General Golek asked.

"What else could it be? Didn't our army hold a drill last month? At that time, some local residents' crops were crushed, and these civil servants refused to let go. Didn't we lose money? What else do they want from us?"

Admiral Gorek also knew what Admiral Saraget said, but it was not as simple as crushing some crops. At that time, a unit during the exercise misread the map and built fortifications on cultivated land. Continuous trampling and storage of various military supplies destroyed the place.

The head of the household came forward to argue, but was beaten up. This incident happened to be seen by a reporter who came to interview, so the Army was left in a state of disgrace and embarrassment. For this reason, Admiral Golek was still in his office and laughed at the other party for a long time.

However, the Minister of War is currently present, and General Gorek will certainly not expose the other party. "Yes, these civil servants have indeed written it. They should not hold on to it."

Faced with the words of the Navy Minister, when Admiral Saraget was about to say something, the door was suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a notification came. "His Majesty, King Carlo, is here."
