After placing Makqin in the Beretta Arms Company in Brescia, Carlo was excited to make further efforts to find several famous people to bring him to Italy.

However, his barren knowledge reserve limited Carlo's playfulness, and after racking his brains, he remembered the world-famous scientists. Now these people are the treasures of their respective countries, and their research is basically theoretical, and it is of little use to Italy, so in the end he chose to give up. After all, I didn't have Baidu with me, so I had what I wanted to know. Like Maxim and Tesla, they are mainly too famous, and they are still in their infancy. Such talents are too rare and too rare.

Since he gave up the idea of collecting scientists, then Carlo can only continue to go to school, yes, Carlo is still a student, and he is in a good school life, although there are several teachers, but he is the only student.

In addition to going to school, Carlo has time to hold hands with the little maid, hug and feel the fragrance of the girl's body, and then go to Marino to see Tesla, who is busy with dogs, and Makqin, who is quickly put into work, and the days are free and boring.

However, compared with Carlo's boredom, De Pretis, as the prime minister, is much more tired. As the prime minister, he is now busier than before, on the one hand, after the signing of the Triple Military Alliance, there is more capital from Germany.

In addition, as one of the terms, Germany will supply part of the military technology to Italy. Although some of this needs to be taken over by the military, he always needs to ask about it, so the people in the Prime Minister's Office are now walking like a fly and are busy with their own work.

"How is the reception from the military?"

Prime Minister De Pretis, who had just finished processing a document, looked up and saw the secretary standing beside him and immediately asked.

"The Minister of the Army, Admiral Saragate, sent a message that many of the military technologies provided by Germany are outdated, and the military is a little dissatisfied with this."

The Prime Minister, who heard the news, rubbed his temples with his hand and then commanded. "Tell Admiral Saragate, choose something that works, and don't complain that we all need to build trust in the early stages."

"Okay."

"If there's anything else, let's just say it."

"In addition, there was a telegram from the National Railways, saying that the railway from Palermo to Messina was more difficult than expected due to the terrain, and the estimated budget was not enough, and they hoped that the government would allocate another 6 million lire for their construction."

Hearing this, Depretis looked over. "What's going on?"

Usopp, the secretary who was glanced at by the prime minister, continued after secretly scolding the railway company in his heart. "According to the report of the Root Railway Company, there is a section of the railway that needs to be reinforced because it has to pass through the collapse area, which they did not anticipate before, so the section of the roadbed and the mountain will need to be reinforced."

As he spoke, he pulled out another document. "Here's a list of additional budgets for the railroad companies."

DePretis took the list, looked at it carefully, and signed it. "Give it to the Ministry of Finance and let them allocate it, but someone needs to be sent to monitor the use of this money."

"Understood."

After answering, the secretary Usopp turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

The secretary, who was stopped by the prime minister, immediately asked. "Your Excellency, is there anything else?"

"What has Your Majesty been doing lately?"

The prime minister's topic made the secretary tremble in his heart, but he still answered truthfully. "From what I know, His Majesty has been out of class lately, and he is running to Marino and Brescia."

"It seems that our majesty attaches great importance to the two he recruited."

At this time, the secretary Usopp only hated why he had ears, but fortunately the prime minister let him go, and the secretary disappeared like a rabbit.

Seeing the frightened secretary who slipped away, the prime minister smiled and said nothing. This secretary is good at everything, but he is too timid. But it is precisely because of his timidity and fear that he will choose him.

Of course, when he asked King Carlo about his movements, he didn't have any ideas, but it was a normal inquiry, after all, he was the prime minister, and he always needed to know the king's movements.

Carlo, who was asked by the prime minister about his movements, had just returned to Rome from a trip to Brescia. However, as soon as he arrived in Rome, he was immediately attracted by a piece of intelligence from the Far East.

Although the envoy did not know why His Majesty paid so much attention to the information in the Far East, he still sent back to China a steady stream of events that had happened in the Far East, so much so that the embassy in the Qing Dynasty spent more than 100,000 lire of additional funds just to deliver the news.

The telegram stated that China and France had agreed on the terms of Vietnam. There are three main ones; 1. Vietnam pays tribute to China, China withdraws its troops, and France declares that it has no intention of encroaching on Vietnamese land or undermining Vietnam's sovereignty; 2. Vietnam opens up Baosheng (Black Flag Army base area); 3. China and Vietnam are bounded by the Red River and allow the Red River to be navigable.

This information surprised Carlo, but he remembered that two years later, the Sino-French war started because of Vietnam, but what was going on with this clause, at first glance, it was obvious that the clause was agreed. You must know that you have placed a bet in advance, and prepared two ships to surprise the French. Now the surprise is gone, but the scare is coming.

That's right, Carlo plans to intervene in the upcoming Sino-French war, it's not because he has feelings for me in the Qing Dynasty, he has hated braids since he was a child, and the ghost has feelings for the Qing Dynasty, and he covets the market in the Qing Dynasty.

However, it is a pity that Italy is not strong enough and there is no place to settle in the Far East, so Italy cannot do the gunboat diplomacy of Britain and France.

Since you can't come hard, you need to come soft. If you want to be soft, then you must have enough good feelings about Italy, and Italy has a natural advantage like Germany, which established itself as the first army in Europe with the Franco-Prussian War.

Then the upcoming Sino-French war is the opportunity that Carlo thinks, this war that the Qing Dynasty fought best, as long as Italy shows enough role in it, then the bosses who are in line with the strategy of razing and razing will definitely not let their friends suffer. When the time comes, take the opportunity to open up the market, rely on the shareholder trend of the Westernization movement, and find a way for Italian products.

As a result, Carlo was all ready, but Dongfeng said that it was not coming, isn't it funny.

"Something must be wrong."

Faced with this sudden Far Eastern intelligence, Carlo was puzzled for a long time.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way, you can wait and see."

Carlo was patient and planned to observe first. And the next news made him put his heart in his stomach, the French government did not approve this clause, and withdrew the minister in the Qing Dynasty, Baohai.

It seems that the Sino-French war cannot be avoided, and Carlo is relieved.
