Carlo, who was given a large sum of money by the prime minister, was naturally unhappy in his heart. For this reason, she was sullen for several days, and even the little maid who had been teasing had not held hands for several days.

When he calmed down and thought about his mistakes, Carlo reflected more than once that he was still not calm enough to do things, and he was a little flustered when he encountered an unexpected situation, and the prime minister deceived himself, and as a result, he couldn't hold his breath and exposed the bottom, what is the difference between himself and the Zhang Da loser who was sprayed.

Of course, as a keyboard warrior, he attacked Young Master Zhang in all directions on the Internet, and he has been imprisoned since he quit the Northeast, pointing out that he can't live in various ways. I didn't expect to make the same mistake, which is really embarrassing. This also proves that the saying is easier said than done.

In order to avoid the recurrence of previous mistakes, Carlo reduced the time he spent outside and strengthened his reflection on himself. After all, Carlo was an ordinary person before, and after he suddenly ascended to a high position, after a period of forbearance, he was a little fluttering, and Prime Minister De Pretis was a slap in the face this time, which just woke Carlo up and let him know his character flaws.

So during this time, not only did Carlo not run to Brescia, but even Marino went less often. Carlo's performance made Makqin and Tesla think that their research and development had not progressed, and disappointed their king friends, so the two of them worked even more obliviously.

However, although Carlo goes out less often, he is just as well informed. For example, Karl Marx, the leader of the proletariat and the author of Capital, died in London on March 14. The founder of a generation of communism died in this way.

Of course, after Carlo saw this news, he sighed more, who would have thought that the communist theory he created would have many followers in the future,

Of course, this is not the news that Carlo is most interested in, but the news that he is most interested in is from France. Jouferi, who had planned to annex Tunisia, was once again elected prime minister of France, and although his prestige had risen through the annexation of Tunisia, the failure of the economic revitalization plan led to his resignation at the end of 1881, of course, there were also reasons why he supported Franco-German reconciliation.

Then, in just over a year, France changed three prime ministers, from Frésine, Duclique to Falière, all of whom stepped down for various reasons. (This can see the impact of frequent changes in the prime minister of France)

In the January elections of this year, Jouferi was re-elected. This time, however, the veteran colonialist set his sights on Vietnam, first by getting the parliament to reject the Vietnam terms with the Qing state, and finally by touting Vietnam's importance to France.

In addition, he made the newspapers report on the persecution of Christians and French missionaries in Vietnam, which angered many French people, and then pushed this force into the parliament's plan to invade Vietnam.

So when Carlo got the plan for the French invasion of Vietnam, he immediately realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come, and he would definitely let the French know that Italy was powerful.

Thinking of this, he immediately called the chief of the guard. "How's the Venice and Brescia doing?"

When Carlo suddenly asked about the two ships, His Excellency the Baron quickly flipped through the information in his mind.

"Your Majesty, at present, these two warships have been outfitted and are currently undergoing sea trials."

Carlo was very satisfied with the words of the chief of the guard, and it seemed that the two ships had caught up with the progress and had time to appear in the Far East. Of course, Carlo did not know that in order to launch the two ships as soon as possible, the Andosal shipyard mobilized elite forces, and rarely adopted a two-shift work system, and finally at the end of March, the two ships were loaded and shipped. (Because there were no electric lights, they didn't work at night, and there were no three-shift shifts, and in that era, high-power electric lights suitable for shipbuilding were not developed.)

"Send a message to Admiral Golek and let their navy get acquainted with the warship as soon as possible, and it is expected that they will have a mission at the end of the year or next year."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Carlo then needs to wait, he needs to wait for the war to break out before he has a chance to intervene.

Without letting Carlo wait, news came a month later, but the news was not at all friendly to the French. French Navy Captain Li Weiye. Killed in battle in a place called Paper Bridge in Vietnam,

The admiral was also a daring man, and before he could wait for domestic reinforcements, he led the French army to invade Hanoi, Vietnam, and threatened to invade China north along the Red River. Unfortunately, the talented Navy Colonel was not able to see the Chinese border, and he clashed with the Black Flag Army stationed in Vietnam. The Black Flag Army is not simple, it was originally a peasant rebel army in Guangxi during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because it used the seven-star black flag as the battle flag, so it was called the Black Flag Army. After the defeat, he was transferred to the Sino-Vietnamese side mirror and was Zhao An, the king of Vietnam.

In the face of the French invasion, the Black Flag Army, under the leadership of its leader Liu Yongfu, fought with it at the Paper Bridge, and the Black Flag Army won a great victory, killing the arrogant naval colonel and more than 200 French officers and soldiers under his command.

When the news reached France, it humiliated the whole of France, and the natives from the east actually defeated the heroic French officers and soldiers, and even the commander was killed. How could this be endured by the proud French, who then announced that they would send more troops to Vietnam and allocate 3.5 million francs to the French army in Tokyo to support their continued preparations for war. (Tokyo here refers to most of northern Vietnam.) Vietnamese call it Beiqi)

It should be noted here that at that time the French had already occupied most of Vietnam, and only northern Vietnam, near the Red River, was still under the rule of the Kingdom of Vietnam. France has always wanted to operate Vietnam as a forward base, radiating to the two provinces and southwest China. However, due to the vassal relationship between Vietnam and the Qing state, it was not successful.

However, this time, the French were determined to solve the Vietnamese problem in one fell swoop, and at the same time to open the southwest and Liangguang markets of the Qing Dynasty to find markets for French goods, so this time France did not achieve its goal.

In the face of the news of the general actions of the French in Vietnam, Carlo is completely watching the show, and of course he will speed up the preparation of small actions in private.
