My Italian Chapter 173

"My Italian (

In the next negotiation, Carlo did not participate, because this kind of thing requires professional negotiation skills. Isn't it difficult for him. Besides, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, why is Carlo mixed in.

But having said that, in the end, this negotiation depends on how much Germany is willing to pay. Of course, no matter what the final negotiation is, Italy will accept it.

Although Carlo was not involved in the negotiation, it did not mean that he had nothing to do. Taking advantage of this time, Carlo let the German people feel the charm of the Italian king. Of course, this also has a lot to do with his age and appearance. Humans are visual animals.

Of course, this also needs to be set off by peers. The other three monarchs are a lot of age, how can they be with Kalobbi. The only Russian crown prince Nicholas who can compete in terms of family, appearance, etc., because his character rarely appears in public, so Carlo, who frequently shows up, is very familiar in front of the German people.

It's not enough just to get acquainted with the German people, people are forgetful. However, with Carlo's family background, he can't make any meaningful move.

Of course, it is not to do nothing. For example, it is possible to establish a homeless income center and an orphanage. This kind of thing that can show himself for a small amount of money, Carlo has done several times.

In addition to communicating with the German people, the rest of Carlo is also more concerned about another matter, that is, the meeting with the Romanian monarch Carol I.

Although they belong to the Hohenzollern family, the Romanian monarch is from the Swabian family, which is far away from the Franconian family who is currently serving as the German Kaiser. Although they all belong to the Hohenzollern family, they have been separated for nearly seven hundred years.

Facing the request of the Italian king to meet, Carol I, who had been the monarch of Romania for more than 20 years, was also very willing. As the second largest grain exporter in Europe, Romania is the one that buys the most grain from Italy.

In addition, the two countries have close ties in terms of ethnicity and culture.

Of course, there is a saying that the great powers in Europe are claiming to be the heirs of the Roman Empire, but who would have thought that Romanian talents are actually the remnants of the Roman Empire.

This last conquered but the first place to give up, the descendants of the legion left in the local are the most pure Romans.

Of course, who can represent Rome, this topic may be controversial in later generations, but now, that is to speak with strength. So it doesn't matter to the Romanians, even if they are really the purest of blood.

Yes, even other countries, including Italians, are not qualified to claim to be the heirs of Rome in terms of blood.

However, this does not stop us from making friends with two countries with similar cultures and languages. Of course, it's only limited to being friends, and don't think about other things. Romania, which is under the threat of AustriHungary and Russia, can only try its best to play a harmless role.

"Hello, King Carol."

For some reason, Carlo felt a sense of closeness when he saw the Romanian king.

"Hello, King Carlo."

King Carol, who is nearly half a hundred years old, has a bushy beard, which makes him look very majestic.

"King Carol, the cultural and economic exchanges between our two countries will bring us closer together. As the king of Italy, I also pay a lot of attention to Romania."

When Carol spoke, King Carol was startled. Why is the young king concerned about Romania? If it weren't for the distance between the two countries, he would have thought that Italy had bad intentions against Romania.

But without waiting for King Carol to speak, Carol continued. "I think Romania lacks a decent industry at the moment. Although your country can develop very well by relying on agriculture alone, a country without industry is not likely to be strong."

Well, the king of Italy is worried about his own country. Carol doesn't know what to say, so he can only look at it first.

"Thank you King Carlo for your concern for Romania, but the industry is not well developed. Our country currently lacks the resources to develop the industry. I think your country is in the same situation. There are no coal and iron mines in the country, which makes it difficult for the industry to develop."

Although Carroll compares the barrenness of Romania with Italy, Carroll is not angry because the other party is telling the truth.

It's okay, just listen to my quibble.

No, listen to me fooling around.

Bah, please listen to my heart.

"In fact, the industry is not just coal and iron. Although all countries basically start the road of industrialization from the iron and steel industry, this does not mean that the industrialization must be dominated by the iron and steel industry. For our country, we are currently developing the electric power industry. This new dynamic drives the development of other industries.”

Carroll's words made Carol I a little moved. Who doesn't want their country to be strong? It's just that sometimes, this is not changed by people's thoughts. When there are no coal and iron mines in the country and there are few other minerals, you Let it develop its industry.

"Then King Carlo thinks that our country can develop like this?"

Facing Carol's question, Carol nodded and answered. "Yes, your country can, but it needs to be in line with your country's actual resources."

After hearing Carol's words, King Carol asked me for advice and asked him to continue. "At present, Romania actually has a resource that may allow Romania to develop better, and that is oil."

That's right, Carlo is looking at Romania's oil. Although Romanian oil has been exploited since 1857, until now, Romania's oil extraction is still very primitive, basically using human and animal power. The method of even refining is almost the same as that of ***.

Carlo wants to invest in Romanian oil and expand its production and refining methods so that Romanian oil can contribute to the electrification of Italy. Because this is the only oil that Italy can master at the moment. As for the oil in Baku, it's okay to think about it, and forget about the rest.

What, you said that there is oil underground in Libya, this Carlo also knows, but what is the use of it if it can't be mined.

Carlo speaks of Romanian oil, and this Carroll also knows ~www.mtlnovel.com~, but he has doubts about Carlo's use of oil to expand Romanian industry.

Because now is the most critical time for the use of oil, the current role of oil in various countries is mainly to refine kerosene for lighting. And with the promotion of electricity, high-quality electric lights will be beaten by gas lamps. Without seeing this period of time, even the oil king Rockefeller felt a headache, and several of his refineries were closed.

This is the darkest period of oil use. Although the internal combustion engine has been invented and the power is not bad, the practical internal combustion engine has not been used on a large scale, but only on a small scale. Of course, after 1890, the use of reliable internal combustion engines will allow the use of oil to expand on a large scale.

And Carol's idea of ​​oil is also remembered after seeing Carol I, the Romanian king. People who have studied World War I and World War II know the famous Romanian oil.

"I don't know how King Carlo is going to let Romania use oil to complete its industrialization?"

It was clear that Carol I was heartbroken.

As long as the heart is good, Carlo said immediately. "I think the use of the internal combustion engine will make oil important, so it's a very good way for your country to use oil to start industrialization. Of course, if your country wants to, I can invest a sum of money to help Romania expand the use of oil. "

Carlo said help, but the real investment must be counted as shares, of course, King Carol also knows this. As for King Carol, after listening to Carol's suggestion, he did it alone. People who have this idea can't be a king.

"Since King Carlo is interested, our country is very willing to accept it. I wonder how much money you plan to invest?"

Carlo stretched out four fingers and said. "Forty million lire."
