My Italy

After arranging Maxim to the Beretta Arms Company in Brescia, Carlo happily planned to continue his efforts and find several famous figures to bring him to Italy.

However, his poor knowledge reserve limited Carlo's performance. After racking his brains, he only remembered world-famous great scientists. Now these people are all treasures of their respective countries, and their research is basically theoretical and of little use to Italy, so in the end he chose to give up. After all, I don’t have Baidu with me, so I can find whatever I want. The main reason for Maxim and Tesla is that they are too famous and are still in their infancy. Such talents are too rare and too rare.

Now that he has given up the idea of ​​collecting scientists, Carlo can only continue to go to school. Yes, Carlo is still a student, and he is having a wonderful time in school. Although there are several teachers, he is the only student.

In addition to going to school, Carlo had time to hold hands with the maid, hug her and feel the fragrance of the girl's body. Then he went to Marino to see Tesla who was so busy and Maxim who quickly got into work. He lived a happy life. Boring again.

However, compared with Carlo's carefree boredom, Despretis as prime minister is much more tired. As Prime Minister, he is now busier than before. On the one hand, after the signing of the Three-Nation Military Alliance, more capital came from Germany.

In addition, as one of the terms, Germany will provide Italy with some military technology. Although some of this needs to be taken over by the military, he always needs to take care of it, so everyone in the Prime Minister's Office is now walking fast and busy with their own work.

"How is it accepted by the military?"

Prime Minister Despretis, who had just finished processing a document, looked up and saw his secretary standing next to him and immediately asked.

"The Secretary of the Army, General Saragate, sent a message that many of the military technologies provided by Germany are outdated, and the military is somewhat dissatisfied with this."

After hearing the news, the Prime Minister rubbed his swollen temples with his hands and then gave instructions. "Tell Admiral Saragate to choose something that can be used, and don't complain. We all need to build trust first."

"OK."

"If there's anything else, just tell me."

"The other thing is that the National Railway Company sent a telegram. They said that the construction of the railway from Palermo to Messina is more difficult than expected due to the terrain, and the budget is estimated to be insufficient. They hope that the government can allocate another 6 million lire to their construction funds. "

Hearing this, Despretis looked over. "How is this going?"

Secretary Usopp, who was glanced at by the Prime Minister, secretly cursed the railway company before continuing. "According to the railway company's report, there is a section of the railway that needs to be reinforced because it passes through the collapse area, which they did not expect before."

As he spoke, he took out another document. "This is the list of additional budgets for the railroads."

DePretis took the list, read it carefully, and signed it. "Leave it to the Ministry of Finance and let them allocate funds, but they need to send someone to supervise the use of this money."

"clear."

After answering, Secretary Usopp turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

The secretary who was stopped by the Prime Minister immediately asked. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, is there anything else?"

"What has Your Majesty been doing recently?"

The Prime Minister's topic made the secretary tremble inside, but he still answered truthfully. "According to what I know, His Majesty has been traveling to Marino and Brescia recently outside of classes."

"It seems that our Majesty attaches great importance to the two people he has recruited."

At this time, Secretary Usopp only hated himself for having ears, but fortunately, the Prime Minister let him go, and the secretary disappeared like a rabbit with a whoosh.

Seeing the scared secretary running away, the Prime Minister smiled and said nothing. My secretary is good at everything, but she is too timid. But it was precisely because of his timidity that he was chosen.

Of course, when he asked the king about Carlo's movements, he didn't have any thoughts, but it was just a normal inquiry. After all, he was the prime minister and he always needed to know the king's movements.

Carlo, who was asked about his movements by the Prime Minister, had just returned to Rome from his trip to Brescia. However, as soon as he arrived in Rome, his attention was immediately attracted by a piece of intelligence from the Far East.

This information was sent by the Italian Minister to the Qing Dynasty. Although the Minister did not know why His Majesty paid so much attention to the information about the Far East, he still continued to send back to the country what happened in the Far East conscientiously, so much so that the Embassy in the Qing Dynasty only served to convey the information. The news cost more than 100,000 lire in additional funds.

This telegram stated that Chinese and French businessmen had agreed on terms for Vietnam. There are three main ones; 1. Vietnam pays tribute to China, China withdraws its troops, and France declares that it has no intention of occupying Vietnamese land or damaging Vietnam's sovereignty; 2. Vietnam opens up to maintain victory (the base area of ​​the Black Flag Army); 3. China and Vietnam use the Red River as the boundary and allow The Red River is open to navigation.

This information surprised Carlo. He remembered that the Sino-French war started two years later because of Vietnam, but what was the terms? It was obvious that they had reached an agreement. You must know that you made a bet in advance and prepared two cruise ships to surprise the French. Now that the surprise is gone, the shock is here.

Yes, Carlo plans to intervene in the upcoming Sino-French war. This is not because he has feelings for me, the Qing Dynasty. He has hated pigtail dramas since he was a child. The genius has feelings for the Qing Dynasty. He covets the market of the Qing Dynasty.

But it is a pity to say that Italy is not strong enough and has no place to stay in the Far East, so Italy cannot achieve the gunboat diplomacy of Britain and France.

Since you can't do it hard, you need to do it softly. If you want to be soft, you must have a good impression of Italy. Unlike Germany, which established its reputation as the first army in Europe with the Franco-Prussian War, Italy has a natural advantage.

Then the upcoming Sino-French war is what Carlo thinks is an opportunity. This is the most beautiful war fought by the Qing Dynasty. As long as Italy plays a sufficient role in it, the bosses who are based on the strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians will definitely not let it go. Friends suffer. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to open up the market and rely on the Westernization Movement to find a way out for Italian products.

In the end, Carlo had everything ready, but Dongfeng said it wouldn't come. Isn't this funny?

"Something must be wrong."

Faced with this sudden information from the Far East, Carlo was at a loss for a long time.

"Don't be impatient. There will definitely be a way. You can wait and see."

Carlo was very patient and planned to observe first before talking. The next news made him heartbroken. The French government did not approve the terms and withdrew Bao Hai, the minister to the Qing Dynasty.

It seemed that the Sino-French war was unavoidable, and Carlo was relieved.
