My Italy

"You mean, the Prime Minister has another plan?"

"Yes, this was said by the Prime Minister himself, and many people were present at the time."

In the palace, Carlo was listening to the chief of guards telling what had just happened in the Prime Minister's Palace.

He certainly opposed France's invasion of Tunisia. The consequences for Italy were very serious. It can be said that France's behavior this time directly caused Italy to turn to Germany and Austria.

Of course, this is a public aspect, but privately, this matter is very beneficial to him. Not to mention anything else, because of the Tunisia issue, many caring people are currently expressing goodwill to him. Of course, surrender is not counted, but it is just to leave a way out for himself. What is even more gratifying is that the largest opposition at present, former Prime Minister Despretis, has expressed his goodwill.

He proposed in parliament that the electrical research center in Marino is of great significance to Italy, so he hopes that the government will allocate funds to support the scientific research of the research center.

Although the proposal was not adopted, Carlo had already received the message. Of course, this does not mean that Depretis wants to move closer to Carlo, but his move also shows that at least Carlo has become a presence that cannot be ignored in Italian political circles.

Of course, Duke Amedeo, the regent, also made great efforts. Because of his excellent performance, many people found that if they want to make good friends with the royal family, the young monarch is more reliable. At least he does not have to worry about dying on a certain woman's belly.

Moreover, after nearly a year of their observation, His Majesty Carlo learned politics very quickly, and his reputation was also very good. With some bonus points, he naturally attracted a group of young officials. These people were mainly Focus on the future rather than the present.

Whatever their intentions, it was a good thing for Carlo.

Since you become a member of a political force, you must abide by the rules of the game. Therefore, those Eastern dramas of killing powerful ministers and returning power cannot be played in Europe.

But God was helping him, and the Prime Minister encountered the French invasion of Tunisia. Of course, Carlo is not willing to let Italy suffer losses. Among other things, Tunisia is too important to Italy.

But after carefully referring to the gap between the two countries, Carlo had to think that he had no good solution to this. They are defeated again and again, and there is no one to help them. What can they fight for? France will not spit out the meat in its mouth just by relying on slogans.

So he was a little surprised when he heard that the Prime Minister still had something to do. What else could the Prime Minister do to reverse all this?

Of course, Carlo is not an arrogant person. Just because he can't think of a way doesn't mean that others can't think of it. It's just that some things must be taken precautions, so he still needs to make some preparations.

Carlo thought for a while and said again after listening to the captain of the guard's story. "You arrange for someone you trust enough to contact Mr. Despretis and tell him that you want to talk to him."

Yes, Carlo had contact with Depretis. When the experimental center opened, he felt the kindness of the former prime minister. Although he did not make any expression, this did not mean that he was unwilling to contact the other party; Treat with caution.

Carlo knew that he had a natural advantage as the monarch of Italy. Although he did not hold power for a while, he had a bright future, so every move he made required special attention.

But now, he thinks some preparations need to be made. Of course, Carlo didn't want to hold back. It was impossible for him to do anything detrimental to Italy. It's just to prepare some aftermath when the situation is irreversible.

Of course, the specific situation needs to wait until he talks to the former prime minister before he can make a decision.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

During this period, the former prime minister had a prosperous life, especially after France invaded Tunisia, and the number of people visiting Tunisia increased day by day. Therefore, even his old butler has improved, making him feel as if he has returned to the moment when his master was the prime minister, and he is a few years younger.

But today, the old butler's steps were a little hurried. After nodding to the guests who were talking, he walked up to Despretis and whispered a few words in his ear.

Then Despretis stood up and spoke apologetically.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something to delay. Let's stop here today."

"Where, this is the time we are spending to delay your Excellency."

Facing this big man's apology, no one could really understand. Everyone immediately said goodbye to the master and left one by one.

After all these people left, Despretis came to the study under the leadership of the old housekeeper.

"You stay outside and guard."

Despretis, who walked to the door, immediately gave an order.

"Okay, sir."

After the old housekeeper answered, he stood quietly at the door.

As soon as Despretis opened the door, he immediately put on a smile. "Baron Felicius, long time no see."

Yes, the person in his study is His Excellency the Chief of Guards. When confidentiality is required, what better result could there be than having him come in person.

"Mr. DePretis, long time no see."

Faced with the greeting of the former prime minister, the captain of the guard also responded.

"I am very honored to have your Excellency the Chief of Guards come to visit you this time."

Faced with the former Prime Minister's inquiry, Felici immediately stated the purpose of his visit. "Mr. Depretis has made great contributions to Italy during his tenure as Prime Minister. His Majesty admires him very much and has always wanted to have a good conversation with you."

The baron's words made Despretis laugh. "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I would be so favored by His Majesty. Since Your Majesty wants to summon you, I naturally want to be summoned."

The young monarch wants to see him, which is very good news for Despretis, and he certainly will not ignore the role of the royal family. He has been trying to get in touch with the royal family since he wanted to regain his position as prime minister, as evidenced by this series of overtures. But this time the captain of the guard came to invite him personally, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, after hearing that he was willing to meet the king, Baron Felicius continued. "Since you are willing, let's discuss the place to meet."

"no problem."

Is the meeting place also subject to negotiation?

Yes, that's right, it just needs to be discussed, because the meeting place this time is not in the palace. There are many people talking in the palace, so it is not a suitable place. Especially at this sensitive time, it is even more inappropriate.

It was obvious that Depretis, the former prime minister, also knew this, so he agreed very much with the captain of the guard.

For the meeting place. The two talked about the time and the entourage for another half an hour, and then the captain of the guard quietly left under the leadership of the old housekeeper.

A few days later, Carlo made another trip to the Electrical Research Center in Marino. However, compared with the previous times, he set off half an hour earlier, but his arrival time was delayed by half an hour.

The reason given was that the carriage was broken and needed to be repaired, but no one paid attention to this detail.
