Chapter 11: A wave of unevenness rises again and again
Such humiliation made it difficult for Carlo to sleep, but if he wants to take revenge, he should wash and sleep, because the current prime minister is not at all in his power.
According to the words in the movie, that is, the referees, organizers and co-organizers are all my people, how to play this, go home.
Apparently Carlo is not a person who is willing to accept such humiliation, and he is more patient than others. What are you afraid of when you are young, if you don't rely on these officials, you can still rely on the royal family.
Well, it's not relying on the royal family, at the moment my uncle is unreliable, my mother doesn't understand politics at all, as for the younger brothers and sisters, let's play.
More precisely, he intends to rely on the assets of the royal family to build a research and development center on his own.
But before that, he had two people to convince, one was his mother, and the other was Uncle Regent, who couldn't help him. His mother is easy to handle, and Carlo, who has already figured out her character, is not difficult to get her mother to speak, but it is a bit difficult to get her uncle to agree. Don't look at this uncle falling into the gentle country, but it's still a bit of a problem to get him to agree.
It should be noted here that although Carlo had become the king of Italy and automatically the patriarch of House Savoy, due to Carlo's young age, his mother Malgaelida and uncle Amedeo jointly oversaw the family estate.
So without the consent of these two, Carlo still can't use a single cent of the family's funds, and only his own private money is up to him. However, his private money was not much, and after becoming king, Carlo only received 200,000 lira a month, plus what he had received from his brother, adding up to less than a million.
So Carlo is now shifting his focus to the plan to get the consent of his mother and uncle.
Of course, before that, Carlo has one more thing to do.
On the table Carlo was writing a letter seriously, he could swear that he had never been so serious, even to his girlfriend in a previous life, and when he had signed his name on the last line, Carlo stretched, and then folded the letter into a letter with the coat of arms of their Savoy family.
That's right, this time Carlo plans to invite Tesla again, and he pays enough attention to the failure of the last time. Although I don't know what the specific reason for Tesla didn't come last time, this time he did what he could do. If the treatment is sufficient, it will be paid according to the highest standard, 2,500 lira per month, and enough respect will be given.
In a word, even if it is tied this time, Tesla will be tied up.
Since he plans to use all means, naturally this matter cannot be handed over to someone he is not familiar with, and I believe that Domingo will know what to do this time after the lesson he experienced last time.
Thinking of this, Carlo called Domingo.
"Domingo, I want you to do something this time."
Looking at his majesty with a serious face, Domingo chuckled inwardly, he had only met him once before, and that time he had messed up.
Although Domingo was prepared, he still felt a little humiliated when Carlo told him about the mission. It's not that he thinks Carlo is insulting him, but that he feels humiliated by his failure to get things done last time, forcing His Majesty to invite him again.
It was his unfavorable handling that made His Majesty Carlo have to lower his posture even more, so after he got this letter, he had already decided that if this Mr. Tesla refused His Majesty's kindness again, he would let him know the consequences of His Majesty's kindness being rejected.
Failing to notice the change in the heart of his henchman, Carlo sent him away and began to prepare to get the money from his mother and uncle.
"Turn your back to the wind!"
At this moment, Carlo was full of fighting spirit.
Her mother was so easy to do that Carlo asked her to come down the next day. The method is very simple, that is, to show up inadvertently at the mother's salon party, and then behave in front of her friends, and then whisper her request while she is happy, and give a reasonable explanation, and the matter is done.
1 In a way, my mother is no different from other people, and she is paid for satisfying the other person's psychological needs.
Now that the problem has been solved on the mother's side, the next step is to get the uncle to agree. But if you want him to agree, you have to think of something else, and Carlo already has some clues, but it will take a little time.
Time flies, and it's time to meet my uncle again. Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, the Lord Regent, walked in with deep dark circles under his eyes and a yawn.
"Uncle, you've been in a bad state lately."
"It's all because I've had a very poor sleep quality lately, and I don't feel very well after coming to Rome......"
Carlo looked at his uncle, who was serious nonsense, and looked at him quietly.
"Uh~"
Amedeo, who couldn't be seen by Carlo, stopped talking.
"Uncle, your reputation is known throughout Rome these days, and it won't do you any good."
Carlo spoke earnestly about his uncle, as the party being disciplined, the regent Amedeo felt that his nephew's every move was very similar to his brother, which made him subconsciously ignore his nephew's age and couldn't help but treat him as an adult.
Carlo, who felt that the initial effect had been achieved, continued. "What's the matter, my uncle. When you are discussing politics, you are not playing a role at all, and you just watch the ministers decide what to do for themselves, and it shouldn't be like this. You should play a central role in government affairs, rather than watching them solve problems on their own, and if they develop such habits, then where should we be in the kingdom of House Savoy?"
Perhaps Carlo's tone and movements resembled that of his deceased brother, which made Amedeo feel a little nervous, and there was a hint of begging for mercy in his words.
"I don't know why, since I came back from Spain, I've had a headache with politics, even when I was in Turin."
Seeing Carlo's puzzled eyes, the uncle became a little anxious. "What I said is true, and I didn't dare tell anyone before."
Hearing his uncle's words made Carlo feel miserable. I thought it was a trick, but I didn't expect there to be such a reason.
However, in order to make sure of the situation, Carlo continued to ask. "How would that feel?"
"Nervousness, sweating, feeling a little overwhelmed, so when I'm in Turin, I don't touch all kinds of things anymore."
Hearing his uncle's explanation, Carlo finally settled down on the shadow left by being a puppet king in Spain.
Is there a cure for this?
There is still a way, and now there are such psychiatrists in Europe, but they are not considered mainstream now. If the uncle is an ordinary person or a minor nobleman, it is nothing, it would be good to heal. But now that he's regent, there's no way around it. What would the Savoy family do if it was known that the regent had a mental illness?
As for private healing, it is not possible, his identity is too conspicuous, who can guarantee that there will not be a little mistake.
This made Carlo feel bitter and unspeakable, and originally only wanted to get him from his uncle to promise him to withdraw part of the family funds. For this reason, he deliberately brought in Baron Felimich, the former chief of the guard, and carefully imitated his father's tone and posture. And today he chose to stand in the shadows, just for this scene. I didn't expect to work too hard, but let my uncle tell the secret by himself.
Carlo doesn't know what to do now, but now he's satisfied with his plan.
"Well, you're doing the right thing. I'd rather let others think you're a romantic person than let people know that you can't handle government affairs. ”
I don't know why, after his nephew said this, Amedeo felt a lot more relieved.
"Uncle, there is something that needs your nod now, I need to use the family funds, and I need your consent."
"No problem, I'll say yes."
"Very well, then you should continue to live like this."
