This time, Carlo and De Pretis's secret meeting concealed from everyone, because there were very few people in contact this time, except for the two parties, only the old butler and the chief of the guard, so no one else in the whole of Italy knew that the two had quietly met.

As for the content of the conversation between the two, it has not been circulated at all, and only the two of them know it. And after this meeting, the two were even tight-lipped and it was impossible to mention it to others.

However, their meeting is not the most urgent thing in Italy at the moment, but the problem of Tunisia and the drought in the south are the most urgent problems that Italy needs to solve.

Yes, the drought in the south has been put on a par with the crisis in Tunisia, and the French, whose invasion of Tunisia has forced Italy to focus on dealing with Tunisia.

Originally, Italy's finances were not rich, and in order to deal with the Tunisian crisis, it naturally needed to spend money, and actions such as army build-up and allocation, declaration of public opinion, etc., did not need to spend money. Naturally, this wiped out the few votes in the government's pocket.

The drought has intensified without government assistance, and several riots have broken out, and the hungry people who can't stand it have robbed several nobles, and these robbed nobles ran to the city to cry to the government, which made the local officials anxious.

But fortunately, these affected people are still a little rational and have not made a move to attack the government.

Of course, the local government can't hide such a big thing, so it can only report the problem, so this has added a lot of troubles to the court and the court.

Of course, we can't sit idly by, we have to find a way to solve it.

"The impact of the drought has been so severe that the number of people affected in Sicily and southern Italy has expanded to more than 5 million people, and we cannot afford to delay any longer."

Speaking at the meeting was the Minister of the Interior Sfulza, who was seen to be an important cabinet minister expressing his opinion in an impassioned manner.

With Sforza's speech, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more strange, and many were discussing in whispers, which made Prime Minister Kairoli, who presided over the meeting, secretly sad. Because he knew what the atmosphere in the venue meant, to use an old Chinese saying, that is, when the hearts of the people are scattered, the team is not easy to lead.

For many days in a row, he didn't come up with a solution, which made many people a little confused. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many problems to deal with now, I would have to start questioning him publicly.

Of course, there are no public ones, and there must be those who express their doubts in private.

The reason is simple, everyone is at the same level, although the prime minister is more well-informed, but the ministers are not much different. As long as you inquire a little, no matter what kind of covert operation will reveal some clues, which is very strange.

Speaking of diplomacy, Foreign Minister Sforza shook his head and said that there was nothing unusual about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Speaking of the military aspect, the military representative, Admiral Saragate, waved his hand and said that the military had not found anything either.

Therefore, a group of people did not find out about the prime minister's secret operation from all indications, which has to make people suspicious, although his personal guarantee that the plan is very secret, but it is impossible that there is no movement at all. Although I don't know what kind of plan this is, it is nothing more than diplomatic and military.

It's strange to say that there is a plan, but there is no movement at all. Many people are speculating whether the prime minister is greedy for power, so he finds an excuse to drag everyone.

Of course, no one can say these speculations, and if they are mistaken, it is not to settle accounts after the autumn, and they are accused of treachery. Even the famous pro-French leader, former Prime Minister Mr. de Pretis, has been shouting incessantly these days that he wants to compete with the French in Tunisia.

Of course, there are also those who have deep faith in His Excellency the Prime Minister, such as the Chancellor of the Exchequer who has come out against him.

"Your Excellency Svrza, we all know what you said, but now that the government has no money, what do you want us to do for disaster relief?"

Jagalli's words changed the atmosphere in the venue.

"Don't you still have 80 million lire of government reserves?"

It was clear that the Home Secretary had come prepared, and immediately pointed out that there was still money in the Government. However, his words made those who knew about financial operations shake their heads.

"Hahaha."

Sfurza's words made Jagalli laugh angrily, and he said after glancing at the Home Secretary with great contempt. "Do you know what the reserve money is for? Now take out the reserve money, and you will be responsible if there is another accident? ”

Every government has a reserve fund, but it is the most difficult to use it, which is set up by the government to prevent bankruptcy due to uncontrollable fiscal reasons, and it is clear that the Home Secretary has played the wrong card.

The Minister of the Interior, who had been robbed of his momentum, was silent, and it was clear that he had lost this time.

However, the fact that the Home Secretary is not speaking does not mean that no one has refuted the Chancellor's words.

"Your Excellency Jagali, the Ministry of Finance has no money at the moment, so what are we going to do next to deal with the drought-induced civil uprisings and the crisis in Tunisia?"

This time it was the Minister of Commerce and Trade Gullitus who spoke, and his words made those present whisper. That's right, since the finance ministry has no money, then Jagalli, as the chancellor of the exchequer, should come up with a solution.

Faced with the accountability of the Secretary of State for Commerce and Trade, Jagalli naturally has his own way of coping. I saw him speak. "In this regard, we have already discussed the loan with Britain and Germany, and the negotiations are progressing quite well."

However, although Jagalli gave a solution, there were still people who were not satisfied, and only saw the Minister of Agriculture, Marklyde, speak. "As far as I know, the current loan negotiated with Britain and Germany is 5 million pounds, although this seems to be a lot of money, but I am afraid that we will not be able to solve our current difficulties."

As the Minister of Agriculture spoke, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more eerie, and many people felt that a storm was gathering in the venue. It is obvious that there are people who are dissatisfied with the prime minister, otherwise how could they have understood it so thoroughly. So many neutral people began to look at their noses and noses, and made up their minds that this meeting would not say a word.

However, as the prime minister who presided over the meeting, Kairoli did not have any fear of the scene in front of him. As an old politician, he can still be afraid of the situation where someone wants to make trouble.

Without waiting for the others to speak, he directly slapped the table and stood up, looking at each other sharply. "And what are we to do according to His Excellency Markeder?"

Facing the imposing Prime Minister, Maklaid, as the Minister of Agriculture, cursed in his heart, how could I have run into it. "I think ......"

"Smack!"

There was another slap on the table, and His Excellency the Prime Minister loudly rebuked his opponent. "I think, what I think, do you have a way in the end, just say yes or no."

The successive seizures made Makerade feel like he was exposed to snow in the sun. wanted to open his mouth, but after enduring it, there was no follow-up.

After getting the Minister of Agriculture, Cairoli looked at the other two challengers, and they were both overwhelmed by the Prime Minister's momentum.

"Smack!"

There was another slap on the table.

"Since there is no way, then listen to others and don't think about trick-or-treating."

With the majesty of the prime minister, Kairoli, who had been suppressed in the hall for many years, sat down and prepared to continue the meeting.

After seeing the trouble-making trio cleaned up, the other neutral people put away their thoughts and continued to prepare to listen to the others.

However, the meeting was destined to be unsustainable, and with a snap, the door was opened, and a panting official ran in. He didn't care about the murderous eyes of the bigwigs present, and came directly to Foreign Secretary Sfulza. "Your Excellency, this is an urgent diplomatic letter, and Commissioner Maikon Ethel wants me to come and hand it to you at once."

As soon as he heard the official's words, Sforza didn't care about anything else, and immediately opened it and looked at it at a glance, but the more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and when he had read the diplomatic letter, he handed it to the prime minister with an ugly face and sat down.

In the face of the foreign secretary sitting next to him, Prime Minister Kayiroli did not help him at all, because he was looking at the diplomatic letter intently, but the more he looked at it, the redder his face became, and his eyes seemed to read through the diplomatic letter. But suddenly, Cairoli's eyes were closed, his shoulders slumped, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Faced with such a situation, the venue immediately became chaotic.

And in the diplomatic letter that fell on the carpet, a few bold French words were clearly visible, an ultimatum.
