"I'm sorry, I didn't understand?"

Carlo suddenly interjected.

In the face of the young king's inquiry, His Excellency the Home Secretary, who had been prepared, was obviously prepared, and he smiled and said to Carlo. "Since Your Majesty didn't understand, then I'll say it again."

In the face of Sabot's words of pretending to be stupid, Carlo was angry, and now there is no way, none of these people are his people, so he can only go into battle shirtless. "Your Excellency the Home Secretary, maybe you didn't understand what I meant, but I was talking about the reasons why there was a need for greater regulation of processions...... How to say it, I don't understand it. These people were mostly people with strong patriotic fervor, and restricting their marches would give the impression that the kingdom was reluctant to speak to France, which was not conducive to unity. ”

"But Your Majesty, there are some saboteurs in these marches, and they are disturbing the peaceful life of the people."

"You can have the police in charge of supervising and arresting anyone immediately if they commit acts of sabotage."

"Your Majesty, this will occupy the police force, reduce the energy and time of the police to deal with other affairs, and will also have the effect of reducing law and order."

"Isn't it okay to recruit more cops?"

"Your Majesty. This takes time and money, and a qualified police officer needs months of training. ”

"In that case, then Admiral Saragate, perhaps you can send the gendarmerie to help the Minister of the Interior for a while, and wait until the new batch of police officers are trained before returning."

Faced with Carlo's sudden pull-in of the army, Sabot, as the Minister of the Interior, was a little caught off guard and was stunned on the spot. However, the Home Secretary was blindsided, which does not mean that Carlo's idea can be realized, only to see Prime Minister De Preetis stand up.

"Your Majesty, we can deal with the procession, and we won't bother the army to go out."

It was taboo to let the army meddle in local affairs, and no government official wanted to see such a scene happen, so then other ministers woke up like a dream and made suggestions. "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Finance can allocate sufficient funds for the training of the police."

"We, the Ministry of Education, can also contribute."

"It's the same with the Ministry of Health."

In the face of the ministers who were gossiping about their advice, Carlo watched with pleasure what was happening in front of him. He had long expected that when he talked about the help of the army, there would be such a scene.

After seeing that Carlo stopped talking, the suggestion gradually subsided. However, the atmosphere of the scene was becoming more and more strange, many people kept looking at Sabot and Carlo with their eyes, and it was obvious that in the performance just now, the Minister of the Interior was completely defeated, and the rhythm was completely controlled by the young monarch.

Since his own henchmen have been defeated, then only the prime minister himself will go into battle. I saw that he waited until everyone was quiet, and then immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the march was started by the dispute between our country and France, and if it continues, it will bring huge losses to our two countries, not to mention that the total value of goods that must be exported to France at present has reached 912 million lira, and these are basically alcohol, livestock and other agricultural products, which involve millions of families, and we need to carefully consider the relationship with France."

It is clear that the prime minister is no longer using the demonstrations as an excuse to directly state the most core interests, and he is talking about Italy's most important economy.

And the Prime Minister's words made many people at the scene ponder, after all, there are so many things involved with France, and it is not a good thing for Italy to anger France.

In the face of the prime minister's use of economic interests as a weapon, Carlo was obviously prepared, only to see him speak. "Prime Minister, the economy is indeed a very important issue for the Kingdom."

Carlo said this, and immediately changed his words. "But this is not a reason for us to be able to submit to France, and you know the attitude of France towards our country. Tunisia did not discuss it with our country at all and directly occupied it. If we acquiesce in France's actions for this and that, then what will happen to the Italian national self-confidence.

You must know that Germany was fundamentally divided before winning the Franco-Prussian War, and if they all need to consider this and that, then how can they fight with France. So it seems to me that Italy can use its lack of strength to submit to France, and then it can also use this reason to submit to other countries, and at that time, where will we Italians still have a place in Europe. ”

In the opinion of Carlo, whose soul came from the great powers of the East in later generations, Italy could die standing up, but it could never succumb to the pressure of other countries. The self-improvement of the gentleman is what Italy urgently needs, and as for the economy, it can be solved after Italy has established national self-confidence. Just like the old man of later generations said, we can rebuild the bottles and cans of the broken family, if we succumb to the pressure of other countries, how can we talk about the rise of the nation.

And Carlo's speech surprised many people at the scene. I didn't expect this monarch to have such a bloody side, but considering his age, it makes sense. However, the two military generals were full of interest in Carlo's speech, and of course it was not a good time to interject.

And Carlo's speech made the prime minister angry, only to see him speak. "I can understand Your Majesty's feelings, but you have to take into account the strength that Italy has, there is a slang saying in my homeland, how much appetite you have, how much bread you eat."

It is clear that the Prime Minister is saying that Carlo is talking too much and does not take into account the actual situation in Italy at all.

In the face of the prime minister's ridicule, Carlo was not to be outdone. "Coincidentally, there is also a slang saying in my hometown that things are done by people, and people will win the day."

Although everyone has never heard the slang in Carlo's mouth, everyone understands the meaning of his words, and many people's expressions are playful at this time.

As for the old and the young in front of them, they all stared at each other with wide eyes and looked at each other like fighting cocks. The atmosphere is gradually becoming a little subtle, and it seems that a duel is about to be formed, and now there is an urgent need for someone to stand up and mediate the atmosphere.

The only people on the scene were qualified, two from the military, and Speaker Leslie. At this time, I saw the speaker who usually does not show the mountain dew walk up to the two of them and said with a smile. "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I think both of you have a point. It's all for Italy, but in a different direction. ”

As Leslie spoke, both of them softened, and the others immediately chimed in as the Speaker spoke. "Yes, the Speaker is right, it's just a different direction."

"That's right."

Although the two are separated, they can both feel each other's attitudes, and they will never change. At this time, Carlo said, "Although our country is too deeply involved in the French economy, they still can't ignore Italy's attitude. ”

It was clear that Carlo was declaring that he would not waver.

And Carlo's words obviously angered the prime minister, and I saw Depretis push away the people around him, walk quickly in front of Carlo, and look at the monarch in front of him. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, and I'm not going to waver."

The scene in front of them made many officials hold their breath, afraid that the two would fight, and the two military bigwigs also hurriedly stepped forward and were ready to see the situation to separate them.

But the prime minister didn't do what they thought, but said with a smile on his face. "Then, I hope Your Majesty will be able to get his wish."

When he was done, he left without looking back.

Soon news of the dispute between the king and the prime minister spread throughout Rome, and some said that His Majesty had neglected the prime minister, so he was angry, and others said that the prime minister had provoked His Majesty, so the two quarreled. But whatever the source of the news, the great rift between the prime minister and the king is certain.

As the person concerned, Carlo knows very well the meaning of the last sentence of the prime minister, and if he fails, then the consequences need to be borne by himself, and the prime minister has nothing to do with it.

If he is not familiar with history, Carlo certainly does not dare to bet, because if he loses, then his prestige will be greatly damaged. A reputation for misdeeds will not run, and of course, if he succeeds, then the reputation of wisdom and foresight will also accompany him.

So what are you waiting for, Carlo has gambled everything.
