My Italian Chapter 72

"What does His Majesty the King want?"

In the Prime Minister's Office, Sabot, the Home Secretary, who is a confidant, is complaining to the Prime Minister.

"Now the anti-French demonstrations in China have been instigated again, which is a burden on the internal affairs department. There is enough evidence to prove that this wave of anti-French demonstrations has the support of our majesty behind it. Could it be that this majesty, iron Do you want to have a fight with France?"

As a member of the Prime Minister's faction, Sabot naturally has more or less pro-French attributes. Although the diplomatic relations between Italy and France are currently deteriorating, there is still some expectation. It is hoped that the relationship between Italy and France can be improved in the future. Of course, this kind of thinking will not affect his daily work, nor will it provide convenience for France.

Of course, what he said in front of the Prime Minister did not mean that he opposed the anti-French march, but wanted to remind the Prime Minister to pay attention to the actions of His Majesty.

You must know that during this period of time, due to the support of the military, the king's momentum has soared, and many young officials have been provoked by his extremely nationalistic remarks, which caused ups and downs in the diplomatic relations between Italy and France.

According to the report of the ambassador to France, French Prime Minister Jouferi specially summoned him, raised concerns about the anti-French demonstrations in Italy, and gave a private warning that if Italy continues to be hostile to France, then France needs to fully consider its relations with Italy.

This incident made His Excellency the Prime Minister, who had been troubled by the military's intervention, even more angry. And this His Majesty was still worried, and praised these anti-French parade teams everywhere, calling them the national backbone of Italy.

Could it be that those who oppose the law are the backbone of the nation, and those whose government is busy putting out fires are traitors?

Therefore, the people of Depretis' faction have resentment in their hearts, and they don't want to let His Majesty talk nonsense. Of course, they didn't think of any drastic actions. Italy needs stability, and whether the kingdom's remarks are out of line, let alone its patriotic enthusiasm.

However, although there are no other measures, it does not mean that there is no way, and Sabot was elected by everyone to discuss with the Prime Minister whether to use other methods to calm the king for a while. For example, you can schedule his courses to the fullest, and euphemistically call it enriching His Majesty's knowledge or something.

Facing the words of his confidant, the Minister of the Interior, Depretis said something calmly. "You're excited, Sabot."

"But, Prime Minister..."

"All right."

Waved his hand to stop what the Home Secretary wanted to continue, DePretis looked up at him and said. "I will handle this matter. I think that the military can make me bow my head, so I need to pay the corresponding price."

Prime Minister Depretis' words made the Home Secretary's eyes shine brightly. He stopped talking, the Prime Minister already had an idea.

A few days later, it was time for Carlo to study government affairs again.

This time is different from usual. In addition to the Prime Minister, the Speaker, and several cabinet ministers, there are several others, the most prominent of which are the two Ministers of the Navy and the Army.

Such an obviously different situation made several people feel that today's situation is unusual, and they made up their minds that they would not speak except for their own department's affairs, so be a spectator.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, why are there so many people today?"

Carlo, the master, immediately opened his mouth to ask when he saw that the situation was obviously different this time.

"It's nothing, because there are many situations today, so I called so many people."

Carlo accepted Prime Minister DePretis's answer. But looking at the battle, there must be a fight next, he has to cheer up.

"Your Majesty, are we starting now?"

"It's time to start."

After receiving the response, the Prime Minister took out a proposal and said. "This is about Sardinia, the plan for the construction of the railway from Cagliari to Sassari. Your Excellency Pederson, please come out and explain."

The one who was stopped by the Prime Minister was Minister of Transport Sten Pedersen. He has worked in the transport sector for many years and has a very good ability. He can always build the largest railway mileage with the least cost, which is a rare thing in Italian railway construction. management talent.

As the Prime Minister's voice fell, a dark-skinned middle-aged man with single-rimmed glasses walked out.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister."

I saw him speak after a slight gesture to Carlo and the Prime Minister. "At present, no railway has been built in Sardinia, which is very unfavorable for the development of Sardinia. You must know that there are nearly 800,000 people living in Sardinia. If it does not have a railway, it will affect the economic development of Sardinia, so our transportation After careful consideration, the Ministry decided to build a railway for Sardinia.

For this reason, we successively sent five exploration teams to conduct geological exploration. Finally, after comprehensive consideration, the railway from Cagliari to Sassari was chosen. The reason why these two cities are considered is because these are the top two cities in Sardinia, which is conducive to the transportation of goods and people.

According to the line planning, the total planned mileage of our railway in Sardinia is 261 kilometers, with 17 platforms set up. The construction time is 37 months, and the estimated construction cost is 39.7 million lire. "

After listening to the speech of the Minister of Transport Pedersen, Carlo spoke first. "Prime Minister, can the government come up with this money?"

"More than one million lire per month, the government can still squeeze it out~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the face of Carlo's inquiry, the Prime Minister answered without thinking.

"So is the construction of the railway a sure thing?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the Prime Minister put forward several other proposals, all of which were dealt with one by one, some of which were rejected, and some were passed. And Carlo is also among them, if you ask, everything seems to be the same as before. However, as the proposal got thinner and thinner, the atmosphere gradually became dignified.

Many people feel that this is the stance that a storm is about to come.

Sure enough, then the Prime Minister picked up a proposal and said. "This is the Ministry of the Interior's regulations on strengthening the management of large-scale gatherings and demonstrations. Sabot, you stand up and explain to everyone."

"Okay, Prime Minister."

The former mayor of Rome, stood up and said. "At present, there have been demonstrations in various cities in Italy. Although most of these demonstrations are peaceful and lawful, there are still a small number of acts such as beating, smashing and looting, which greatly endangers public safety. It also puts people at risk.”

"So in order to avoid such a situation, our Ministry of the Interior must control these demonstrations. First of all, in view of the different circumstances of the demonstrations, the approval of the city government was changed to the approval of the Ministry of the Interior, because we have more experience in distinguishing which games are controllable. It's out of control. And then we should..."

Sabot had said so much all the time, and many people murmured in their hearts.

The people present are all elites. Everyone knows who this proposal to strengthen the supervision of the parade is aimed at.

When Carlo listened to this proposal, his face was a little unsightly, because he knew that it was for him. Since it's going to be a showdown, come on.
