"You mean, the prime minister has a plan?"

"Yes, it was said by the Prime Minister himself, and quite a few people were present at the time."

In the palace, Carlo was listening to the chief of the guard recount what had just happened in the Prime Minister's palace.

Of course, he was opposed to the French invasion of Tunisia. The consequences of this for Italy are very serious, and it can be said that France's behavior this time directly led Italy to fall to Germany and Austria.

Of course, this is on the public side, and on the private side, this matter is very beneficial to him. Not to mention anything else, because of the Tunisian issue, many people with good intentions are currently showing goodwill to him, of course, taking refuge is not counted, but it is just leaving a way back for themselves. What is even more gratifying is that the largest opposition party at present, former Prime Minister De Pretis, expressed his goodwill.

He proposed in parliament that the Electrical Research Center in Marino was of great importance to Italy, and that he wanted the government to support the research work of the research center.

Although the proposal was not adopted, the meaning of the move was received by Carlo. Of course, this is not to say that De Pretis wants to move closer to Carlo, but his actions also show that at least Carlo has become a presence that cannot be ignored in Italian political circles.

Of course, among them, the regent Duke Amedeo also made a great effort. Because of his excellent performance, many people found that if they wanted to befriend the royal family, it was more reliable for the young monarch, at least he didn't have to worry about dying in the belly of a certain woman.

Moreover, after nearly a year of their observation, this His Majesty Carlo has a quick ability to learn politics, and his reputation is also quite good, with some plus points, naturally he has attracted a group of young officials, who mainly look at the future rather than the present.

Whatever their intentions, it's good for Carlo.

Since you become a member of the political forces, you have to follow the rules of the game, so the drama of those powerful ministers in the East returning to power cannot be played in Europe.

But God was helping him to make the prime minister encounter the French invasion of Tunisia. Of course, Carlo is not willing to let Italy suffer, if nothing else, Tunisia is too important to Italy.

But after carefully considering the gap between the two countries, Carlo had to think that he didn't have a good way to deal with it. I can't fight and fight, I want to find someone to help, but there is no one to fight, what to fight, and the slogan alone will not make France obediently spit out the meat in its mouth.

So he was a little surprised when he heard that the prime minister still had a way, what else could the prime minister do to reverse all this?

Of course, Carlo is not a person who is arrogant, and his inability to think of a way does not mean that others can't think of it, but there are some things that must be prevented, so he still needs to make some preparations.

I saw that after listening to the head of the guard, Carlo thought about it and said. "You arrange for someone you trust enough to reach out to Lord De Pretis and tell him that you want to talk to him."

Yes, Carlo had contact with De Pretis, and when the experimental center opened, he felt the former prime minister's kindness, although he did not say anything, but this does not mean that he is unwilling to contact the other party, but he is cautious.

Carlo knew that he had a natural advantage as the monarch of Italy, and although he did not hold power for a while, he had a great future ahead of him, so his every move required special attention.

Now, though, he thinks something needs to be done. Of course, Carlo is not trying to drag his feet, and he is unlikely to do anything bad for Italy. It's just to prepare some aftermath when the situation is irreparable.

Of course, the specific situation will have to wait until he talks to the former prime minister before he can make a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

During this time, the former prime minister had a prosperous life, especially after the French invasion of Tunisia, and the number of visitors increased day by day. So even his old butler is rising, making him seem to have returned to the moment when his master became prime minister, and the whole person is a few years younger.

Today, however, the old butler was in a bit of a hurry, and after nodding his head to the guests who were talking, he walked up to De Pretis, and whispered a few words in his ear.

DePretis then stood up and spoke apologetically.

"Guys, I'm sorry, I have something to delay, so let's stop here today."

"Where, this is the time we have delayed Your Excellency."

In the face of this big man's apology, how could anyone really not understand the eyes, and everyone immediately said goodbye to the master and left one by one.

When all of them were gone, Depretius went to the study under the guidance of the old butler.

"You're out there."

Depretis, who walked to the door, immediately commanded.

"Yes, sir."

The old butler answered, and stood quietly at the door.

As soon as DePreetis pushed open the door, he immediately put on a smiling face. "Baron Felimich, long time no see."

That's right, the person in his study is His Excellency the Chief of Guard, and in a situation where secrecy is required, what better outcome than for him to come in person.

"Mr. De Pretis, long time no see."

Faced with the greeting of the former prime minister, the chief of the guard also replied.

"It is a great honor for His Excellency the Chief of the Guard to come and visit me this time."

Faced with the former prime minister's inquiry, Felimich immediately stated the purpose of his visit. "Mr. de Preetis has made a great contribution to Italy during his tenure as Prime Minister, and His Majesty has great respect for it, and he has always wanted to have a conversation with Your Excellency."

The baron's words made Depretius laugh. "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I was so favored by His Majesty, since His Majesty wants to summon me, I naturally can't ask for it."

The young monarch wants to see him, which is very good news for Depretis, and he certainly does not ignore the role of the royal family. Ever since he wanted to regain the premiership, he has been trying to reach out to the royal family, as evidenced by this series of overtures. However, there must be a reason why the chief of the guard personally invited him this time.

Sure enough, Baron Felimich then continued, after hearing that he was willing to meet with the king. "Since Your Excellency is willing, then we will discuss the place of the meeting."

"No problem."

This meeting place is also used to discuss?

Yes, that's right, it just needs to be discussed, because the meeting place is not in the palace. The palace was crowded with people, and it was not a suitable place. Especially at this sensitive time, it is even more inappropriate.

Obviously, De Pretis, the former prime minister, also knew this, so he agreed very much with the words of the chief of the guard.

For the meeting place. The two talked for another half an hour, and then the chief of the guard, under the leadership of the old butler, quietly left.

A few days later, Carlo went to the Electrical Research Center in Marino again. It's just that compared with the previous times, he left half an hour earlier, but the arrival time was half an hour later.

The reason given was that the carriage broke down and needed to be repaired, but no one paid attention to this detail.
