My Italian Chapter 16

Not to mention the matter of Carlo starting a new business and building an electrical R&D center by himself.

Currently in Rome, if you want to ask who is the most proud, it must be Prime Minister Cairoli. The Prime Minister's experience is also bumpy. In his early years, he participated in the Italian independence movement with his four brothers, and he was the only one who survived to see the unification of Italy.

In addition, Cairoli participated in Garibaldi's expedition of a thousand men, and later made military exploits in the battle to capture Palermo.

However, he later parted ways with Garibaldi. He participated in the parliamentary election, successfully became a member of parliament, and served as prime minister for a period of time, but resigned because he could not win back South Tyrol.

This is his second time as prime minister, but this time he is lucky. In just one year as prime minister, the king died of an assassination, and the regent Amedio, who represented the royal family, spread his romantic reputation all over Rome in less than three months. Those who are burdened will not put their hopes on this regent.

As for the other speaker, His Excellency, it is not worth mentioning.

So now, Prime Minister Cairoli is the most powerful man in Italy. In this case, the Prime Minister's Office where he is located naturally gathered many people who tried to share part of the power. This also caused traffic jams in front of the Prime Minister's Office, and a large number of people who wanted to see him could line up from the door to Caesars Square.

However, there are not many people who want to be in the prime minister's eyes, so even the people who can get him to meet attract attention. There were even rumors that His Excellency the Prime Minister was harder to see than the King.

And Cairoli doesn't care about this, he doesn't care what the outside world says about himself, because he has more important things to do.

In the room, Cairoli was busy checking the work at hand. The beautifully decorated alarm clock in the corner ticked its hands, making the quiet Prime Minister's room look a little special.

Kairolli read a document, pressed the alarm, and someone came over immediately.

"Doss, have this document returned to the Department of Transport and inform them that the railway project from Palermo to Messina needs to be redone. What are they doing, a railway line of just 240 kilometers, costing 4,000 Wanlira, do they think the government is too rich?"

Seeing the enraged Prime Minister, Doss, the secretary, was so arrogant that he didn't dare to come out. He quickly took the document that was sent back and sent it to the public works department.

After seeing his secretary go out, Cairoli rubbed his swollen temples to calm the anger in his heart. At present, he is experiencing the pleasure of being in power, and naturally he is also enjoying its pain.

At present, he has to make up his mind on big and small matters. The huge workload has made him more and more bad tempered.

However, although the Prime Minister's temper is getting bigger and bigger, no one wants to leave because of this. Originally, the Prime Minister's Office was high enough, but as long as you say that you work in the Prime Minister's Office, everyone will look at you highly. Even those ministers have been kind to them recently, and only fools would give up their future because of this trivial matter.

After being busy for a while, Cairoli felt a little lack of energy. He rang the alarm and called the secretary.

"Doss, pour me a cup of coffee."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After drinking the sweet and bitter coffee, Cairoli felt much better.

However, instead of continuing to work, he sat on the sofa to take a rest. Of course, Doss, the secretary, stood by and waited for his orders.

"By the way, Doss, how many of the people I invited to the party tonight agreed?"

Kairoli was drinking coffee and casually asked about other things.

Although Cairoli asked casually, Doss paid attention.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, at present, most of the guests on the list have agreed to attend on time. Only Minister of Commerce and Trade Gullités and Minister of Agriculture Markleide politely refused on the grounds that they were not feeling well. In addition, Your Excellency Depretis On the grounds that he did not want to participate, he directly refused."

Doss's words made Cairoli, who was drinking coffee, pause for a moment, and the secretary to the Prime Minister, who felt something, immediately held his breath. For a moment only the ticking of the pendulum remained in the room.

It seems that it took a long time for His Excellency the Prime Minister to put down the coffee, and it took a long time to say a word.

"Depretis doesn't want to participate, so it's better not to participate."

In the face of the Prime Minister's words, Doss, the secretary, did not dare to take it.

These two are big bosses, and if he is not careful, he will be wiped out.

It's a long story to say that even the Prime Minister can't do anything about Depretis who he can't do.

The full name is Agostino de Pretis, a graduate of the law school in Pavia. He worked as a journalist, supported Mazzini's republicanism in his early years, and joined the Young Italy Party.

However, in 1848, he was elected as a member of the Piedmont Assembly, gave up his republican views, and began to publish the "Justice" to promote the idea of ​​a constitutional monarchy.

In 1859 he was appointed Governor of Resia. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

In 1860, he went to Sicily to assist Garibaldi in his work, negotiated between the Crispi democrats and the Cavour liberals, tried his best to implement the Cavour route, and facilitated the merger of Sicily and the Kingdom of Piedmont (Bicairoli was then the much better).

In 1862 and 1866, he participated in the cabinet twice, serving as Minister of Public Works, Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Exchequer.

Since 1873, he has become a left-wing leader representing the interests of the financial industrial bourgeoisie and the big landlords.

And De Pretis has served as prime minister for two terms and is Cairoli's biggest rival.

It can be said that it is a heresy that is more hateful than the heathen.

In addition, one more thing, at present, the active politicians in Italy have basically participated in Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily. According to reason, they should all be regarded as comrades-in-arms, but the power is too tempting, and even the comrade-in-arms can't resist the temptation.

And then Prime Minister Cairoli stopped talking, just quietly drinking the coffee in front of him.

However, as Secretary Doss, he feels that the Prime Minister is very scary now, but his duty as a secretary tells him that he must continue to wait.

After finally finishing the coffee, Cairoli suddenly asked Doss who was cleaning up.

"By the way, how is our majesty now?"

Facing the question, Doss cleaned the table and answered. "At present, in addition to classes, His Majesty is busy with the experimental center built by Marino."

"I heard that this experimental center will cost 20 million liras. After its completion, it will support 300 people in scientific research and development."

"Very good, it's also good for His Majesty to find something to do."

After Cairoli finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. "The royal family is really rich!"
