"What does His Majesty want to do?"

In the Prime Minister's Office, Sabot, the Home Secretary, who is a confidant, is complaining to the Prime Minister.

"Now the anti-French demonstrations in China have been agitated again, which is increasing the burden on the internal affairs department, and there is enough evidence to prove that this wave of anti-French demonstrations has the support of our Majesty behind it. Could it be that this majesty is determined to have a fight with France? ”

As a member of the Prime Minister's faction, Sabot naturally has a more or less pro-French nature, and although diplomatic relations between Italy and France are currently deteriorating, there is still some hope. He hoped that relations between Italy and France would improve in the future, but of course this would not affect his daily work and would not facilitate France.

Of course, he said in front of the prime minister, not to mean that he was against the anti-French demonstration, but to remind the prime minister to pay attention to His Majesty's actions.

You must know that during this time, due to the support of the military, the king's momentum was greatly increased, and many young officials were provoked by his very nationalistic remarks, which caused difficulties in the diplomatic relations between Italy and France.

According to the report of the ambassador to France, French Prime Minister Jouferi specially summoned him to raise his attention to the anti-French demonstrations in Italy, and gave a private warning that if Italy continued to be hostile to France, then France would need to consider its relations with Italy in its entirety.

This incident made His Excellency the Prime Minister, who was already troubled by the military's interference, even more angry. And this majesty is still not careful, and everywhere praises these anti-French processions, calling them the backbone of the Italian nation.

Are those who oppose the law the backbone of the nation, and those who are busy putting out the fires by the government are traitors?

Therefore, the people of Depretis's faction have a resentment in their hearts, and they don't want this majesty to talk nonsense. Of course, they did not think of any radical actions, Italy needed stability, and the kingdom's rhetoric was not out of line, let alone patriotic fervor.

However, although there are no other measures, it does not mean that there is no way, and Sabot was elected by everyone to discuss with the prime minister whether to use other methods to make the king stop for a while. For example, it can be arranged to fill the curriculum, and in the name of enriching His Majesty's knowledge, or something.

Faced with the words of his confidant Home Secretary, De Pretis said with a calm face. "You're excited, Sabot."

"But, Prime Minister ......"

"Alright."

Waving his hand to stop the Home Secretary from wanting to continue, Depretis said after glancing up at him. "I will deal with this matter, thinking that relying on the military can make me bow my head, then I need to pay the corresponding price."

Prime Minister de Pretis made the home secretary's eyes light up, and he didn't say it anymore, the prime minister already had an idea.

A few days later, it was time for Carlo to learn about government affairs.

This time it was different from usual, in addition to the prime minister, the speaker of the parliament, and several cabinet ministers, there were several other people, the most conspicuous of which were the two ministers of the navy and army.

Such an obviously different situation made several people feel that the situation today is not ordinary, and they have made up their minds not to speak except for matters related to their own departments, so let's be a spectator.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, why are there so many people today?"

As the owner, Carlo, after seeing that the situation was obviously different this time, immediately asked.

"It's nothing, because there are more situations today, that's why so many people are called."

Prime Minister de Pretis's answer, Carlo also accepted. However, looking at the formation, there must be a battle next, and he has to cheer up.

"Your Majesty, shall we begin now?"

"It's time to go."

After receiving a response, the prime minister took out a proposal and spoke. "It's about Sardinia, the plan for the construction of the railway from Cagliari to Sassari. Mr. Pedersen, come out and explain. ”

The Prime Minister was called by the Minister of Transport, Stern Pedersen, who has worked in the transport sector for many years, has a very good ability, and can always build the maximum railway mileage with the minimum cost, and is a rare management talent in the construction of Italian railways.

As the Prime Minister's voice fell, a swarthy middle-aged man with single-rimmed glasses walked out.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister."

I saw him speak after a slight gesture to Carlo and the prime minister. "At present, Sardinia does not build a railway, which is very unfavorable to the development of Sardinia, you must know that Sardinia is inhabited by nearly 800,000 people, if it does not have a railway, it will affect the economic development of Sardinia, so our Ministry of Transport is also seriously considered, decided to build a railway for Sardinia.

To this end, we have successively sent five exploration teams to geological exploration. In the end, after comprehensive consideration, the construction of the railway from Cagliari to Sassari was chosen. These two cities are also considered because they are the top two cities in Sardinia, which is conducive to the movement of goods and people.

According to the line plan, our railway in Sardinia has a planned total length of 261 kilometers, a total of 17 platforms, a construction time of 37 months, and an estimated construction cost of 39.7 million lire. ”

After listening to Transport Minister Pedersen's speech, Carlo was the first to speak. "Prime Minister, can the government come up with this money?"

"More than a million lira a month, the government can still pay for it."

In response to Carlo's inquiry, the prime minister replied without thinking.

"So is the construction of the railroad a foregone conclusion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Subsequently, the Prime Minister put forward several other proposals, all of which were dealt with one by one, some of which were rejected and some of which were adopted. And Carlo is also among them, do you ask, everything seems to be the same as before. However, as the thickness of the proposal became thinner, the atmosphere gradually became more and more solemn.

Many people feel that this is the posture of a storm coming.

Sure enough, the prime minister then picked up a proposal and spoke. "This is the Ministry of the Interior's regulations on strengthening the management of mass gatherings and processions. Sabot, you stand up and explain it to everyone. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

The former mayor of Rome stood up and spoke. "At present, there have been demonstrations in various cities in Italy, although most of these demonstrations are peaceful and orderly, but there are still a small number of smashing and looting, which greatly endangers public safety and makes people feel dangerous."

"So in order to prevent this from happening, the Ministry of the Interior has to control these demonstrations. First of all, in view of the different circumstances of the parade, the approval of the city government was changed to the approval of the Ministry of the Interior, because we have more experience in distinguishing between those games that are controllable and then uncontrollable. And then we should also ......"

Sabotlin always said so much, many people muttered in their hearts.

Everyone present is a good person, and everyone knows who this proposal to strengthen the supervision of the march is aimed at.

Carlo listened to this proposal, and his face was a little unpleasant, because he knew that it was for him. Since there's going to be a showdown, then come on.
