My Italy

After a night of lingering love to the bone, Carlo got up refreshed the next day. He looked back at the sleeping maid, feeling a little proud in his heart, telling you that you dare to tease me, you must suffer a lot now.

Just as Carlow prepares for a new day, the Prime Minister's Office begins a new day at work. However, the atmosphere among the staff in the Prime Minister's Office has not been right recently. Although their attitude towards work has not changed, there is a hint of something else in their eyes.

Regarding the changes in the Prime Minister's Office, Doss, as the Prime Minister's Secretary, was anxious in his eyes, but he had no good solution. After all, the Prime Minister had a very clear attitude on whether Italy would intervene in the war between China and France. Although it cannot be said that France has lost, it is obvious that everyone knows what is going on.

Not to mention that Italy has really opened up the Far East market as His Majesty said. Although its order is only 100 million lire, it is a good thing to open a gap. You must know that before, Italy's annual exports to the Far East basically fluctuated around 30 million lire. If the money spent on purchasing arms and warships is included, Italy's exports to the Far East would have increased five or six times today.

Therefore, in this war, publicly, he should cheer for Italy to open the Far East market. Privately, of course, he does not want to see the Prime Minister lose his power. Of course, this is just a little bit of his personal thoughts. As for what the Prime Minister thinks, he has no control over it, but maybe the Prime Minister and his confidants in the office can figure it out.

"Prime Minister, we are very passive at the moment. The war in the Far East made the king win the bet. Now many people have changed their feelings towards the king. If we don't do something, I'm afraid..."

Interior Minister Sabot was in his office, persuading Prime Minister Despretis with earnest words. His expression was so sincere and his words were so fierce that uninformed people thought he was the Prime Minister.

"But what can we do?"

Another confidant on the side, Kranz Rivera, who is the Secretary of Commerce and Trade, held a different view.

"At least something needs to be done to save it, otherwise we will just watch it."

Facing Rivera's words, Sabot immediately retorted. "Don't think I don't know. You might still be secretly happy. At least your work has been shared a lot by His Majesty this year."

"Why do you say that?"

Faced with Sabot's biting attitude, Rivera also became furious.

"Then what should I say?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you."

"I guess you don't dare to say it."

"you……"

Faced with the constant bickering between his two confidants, the Prime Minister, who was somewhat upset himself, couldn't help but slam the table. "Snapped."

"Do you want to have enough noise here?"

Facing the angry Prime Minister, the two of them were like fighting cocks just now, but they immediately withered.

"I don't care what you think now, but you must all calm down."

Faced with the Prime Minister's display of power, the two could only bow their heads.

Looking at the two people in front of him, the Prime Minister couldn't help but continue to get angry. "Sabot, as the Minister of the Interior, although the demonstrations have passed, but look at the public security situation this year, why are the vicious cases 12% higher than last year? If you cannot suppress this wave, the internal affairs It’s time for a replacement.”

After talking about the Minister of the Interior, Prime Minister Despretis turned his gun on the Minister of Commerce and Trade. "Rivera, our country's trade with France dropped too much last year, reaching 21%. This requires your department to find a solution."

After spraying each of the two ministers, the Prime Minister became more angry. "You should each go about your own business and stop worrying about my problems."

The two people who were granted amnesty immediately left the office in despair. After closing the door, Depretis rubbed his forehead.

Although he drove away his two confidants, how could he not pay attention to what they said.

It all comes down to his own carelessness. Originally, the war between the French and the Qing Dynasty should have been overwhelming. Although he had the attitude of watching a show and let the young king toss, he had other control measures very well. It will not let Italy go deep into this war, but make Italy's presence felt.

I didn't expect that the French would be so incompetent. Although the French navy failed to achieve its goal in the naval battle due to the two Venetian-class battleships, the French's famous army would actually be defeated by the Qing.

And he also learned about France's most important defeat, the Battle of Zhennanguan. Although there were Italian equipment in that battle, it was the Qing army that participated in the battle. You must know that more than ten years ago, equal forces from Britain and France attacked the Qing capital and forced it to sign a city-wide treaty.

It has only been a few years since the French found it difficult to even establish a border.

Perhaps after the Franco-Prussian War, France had been demoralized by the unified Germany and no longer had the pride and courage that it inherited from the Louis XIV and Napoleonic eras.

Of course, this defeat caused him to suffer heavy losses. The Lord Carlo, who had been gradually suppressed, suddenly rose up and became his restraint.

However, considering the monarch's seniority, his restrictions will become greater and greater. After all, His Majesty Carlo is already eighteen years old, and his coming of age ceremony will be held in two years, and his power will be greatly increased by then.

This is why many ministers have now changed their attitudes towards this monarch. Although the Sino-French War brought Italy huge profits, his gradual growth is also a major inducement.

Of course, the two complement each other and are indispensable.

However, others can change their attitude toward His Majesty, but Despretis, as Prime Minister, cannot. Because this is about power, other people, whether led by the king or the prime minister, can have their share of power.

And if he turns to the king, can he gain more power than he currently has?

I'm afraid he has to hand over a lot of power. This is the difference between the Prime Minister and other ministers. Not to mention that he has been in power for the past three years and no one can restrain him. It is so difficult to let go.

But Depretis doesn't have a clue about what to do next, but there are still two years left, and he still has two years to think about it.

If he can't bear the loss of power, the worst he can do is leave his position as prime minister.

Even so, I don't know why he is always a little unwilling. What you should do next is up to you.

Looking at the crowds of people coming and going outside the window, Depretis fell into deep thought.

Sudan, I have added an update. Please thank Mr. Sudan for the reward and update.
