My Italy

"You're saying they're pushing for suffrage changes?"

In that hidden room, Carlo looked at the man in front of him in surprise. The news was so shocking that he couldn't believe it.

Facing Carlo's question, the spy leader immediately answered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to what we have investigated, the left-wing parties have reached an agreement that this matter will be promoted in Parliament, and the time is already very soon. We did not get the specific time, but it will probably be in October."

The secret agent's words made Carlo suddenly realize that it was no wonder that the previous batch of officials who violated disciplines were not punished. It turned out to be because they wanted to promote the amendment of suffrage rights.

Regarding the plan to amend the suffrage, Carlo has also seen it. There are several main provisions. The first one is to lower the age limit for men to obtain the right to vote from 25 to 21 years old. The second one is also crucial. Italy has obtained the right to vote. The conditions for the right to vote were reduced from annual tax payment of 40 lire to 15 lire.

Sound familiar?

Yes, the electoral reform bill that the previous Prime Minister Despretis worked hard for and vigorously promoted is not much different from this. It can even be said that it is not as radical.

Of course, here, retired Prime Minister Despretis has absolutely no chance of running away, and will definitely support silently behind the scenes. As for other political parties, even if they do not support it, they at least have a tacit acquiescence. Otherwise, such a big event would have been delayed until now.

And in this, one thing worth thinking about is that all political parties deliberately concealed the news from Carlo. At least the political parties that had the ability to know the news had a tacit understanding to suppress the spread of the news.

This attitude is what Carlo needs to think deeply about. Why does the political party have this attitude towards Carlo? In fact, this requires Carlo to reflect on himself. For example, the last time Crispi informed him of the plans of former Prime Minister Despretis, Carlo needed to at least give him some rewards anyway. This is the attitude a monarch should have.

And he didn't give any rewards or rewards at all, which was a very inappropriate move. As a monarch, one cannot decide based on personal preference. It is obvious that Carlo violated this taboo in this matter.

Looking back now, since the retirement of former Prime Minister Despretis, Carlo has less scruples in handling many things. This also caused him to have a lot less worries when doing things. In layman's terms, that means he was carefree.

However, the consequences of this failure were also very serious, which directly led to the political parties reaching an agreement without his knowledge and preparing to pass the electorate amendment bill.

Carlo sees the bill very clearly as a counterattack by the political parties against their monopoly of power some time ago. As for Prime Minister Antonio, this is easy to understand. He is the head of officials and cannot be separated from the masses. Besides, which official is willing to give up on such a thing.

But even though he knew it, it was very difficult for Carlo to solve this problem. First of all, this was the unanimous interest of all political parties, and given what happened to Crispi before, basically no rational person would want to speculate.

From this point of view, he has no way to change the voting rights plan.

This feeling of having no choice is very bad. Carlo has almost forgotten this feeling. The last time seemed to be when Cairoli was Prime Minister.

In order to remember this lesson, Carlo gave himself a day off, meditating on his mistakes in a secret room and learning his lessons.

Faced with the king's actions, the guards were a little worried, and even Queen Maria came to visit with her son Prince Vittorio.

But everyone didn't have to wait long, Carlo reappeared in front of everyone in the evening.

"McCron is preparing dinner, I'm hungry!"

The energetic voice made the captain of the guard smile and reassured his wife Maria.

Of course, after a night of repairs, Carlo continued to work energetically the next day.

"McCron, what's going on with the National Progressive Party?"

Carlo asked as soon as he came up. Some time ago, there was a lot of noise about this new political party.

"Your Majesty, they changed their name."

"Changed your name?"

These words made Carlo a little confused. Changing the name of the party needs to be very cautious, because changing the name is a major event, comparable to the reorganization of a political party.

Not seeing Carlo's confused expression, the captain of the guard continued. "Yes, Your Majesty, this National Progressive Party has a new name, called the National Socialist National Party."

As for why the name was changed, Carlo finally understood it from the captain of the guard's narration. Isn’t this how the left-wing parties took turns attacking this new far-right party some time ago?

In the absence of any cooperation from right-wing parties in the same camp, even if Cruz led the National Progressive Party to resist and speak out, the vitality of the National Progressive Party was still severely damaged, and its membership dropped from more than 48,000 at the beginning to the lowest level. Three thousand people.

At this time, the National Progressive Party had been reduced from a potential political party in the country to an almost unknown third-rate small party. This also fully proves that Mr. Cruz is not a person who can turn the tide. At least he is much worse than a failed art student in Austria and a third-rate tabloid reporter in Italy.

At this critical moment, after some discussion and deliberation, Cruz and the others decided to change the name of the party. The reason is simple. Under attack from left-wing parties, the name of their party has become a bit disgusting. It might be better to change the name at this time.

Finally, after some deliberations, the National Socialist Party with a slight left-wing disguise was born.

This time they did not dare to promote such radical slogans. Instead, they shouted their slogans much milder.

Of course, this does not change the core of its political philosophy. The National Socialist Party, which has changed its name, is still a far-right party.

"It's really interesting. The Socialist National Party in this country is really interesting."

Carlo has some new ideas in his heart, but he still needs to think about it.

Because this approach is a bit unbelievable, and it may also cause trouble by raising tigers, but there are many benefits to doing so. Generally speaking, it is a double-edged sword that can hurt both others and yourself.

What troubles Carlo?

This is a bit surprising to say, it is to support the transformation of the National Socialist Party.

Yes, although the current far-right party seems weak and has no strength, only Carlo knows that although the far-right party has many shortcomings, there is one thing that makes people very envious, and that is its organizational and mobilization power.

Sometimes as long as you pay more attention, you will find that among the left and right parties, the extreme left and extreme right have the most combat effectiveness. Of course Carlo knows this, but sometimes, this kind of party with paranoid ideas has miraculous effects on some difficult problems.

Italy has many thorny problems, such as the labor movement in the north, the mafia problem in the south, and the remaining feudal forces obstructing industrialization.

Although it only takes slow changes, these problems will eventually be solved. But Italy is running out of time. Although Carlo doesn't know if the war will break out on time even though he has changed beyond recognition, this war cannot run away at all. Europe will use a war to solve various problems.

There is no end to this war unless all countries give up Social Darwinism and eat fast and chant Buddha together. But is this possible?

In this case, Italy must make adequate preparations before this happens. This preparation is not only about military and people's livelihood, but also about politics.

To be fair, the far left and the far right have the most social organizational power and can also make people suffer greater losses. This is what Carlo values ​​most and what he needs most.

Of course, he could only decide these words after carefully observing the National Socialist Party.

As for now, disaster relief is still important.
