"On behalf of France, King Carlo, I express the strongest condemnation of your country's violation of the Neutrality Pact."

The French Ambassador to Italy, His Excellency Lamon Goodwin, is making a protest from France in Carlo. The tone was unprecedented, and Carlo yawned in the face of the French ambassador's most angry expression ever.

Carlo's gesture was like a big hand grabbing the French ambassador's throat, making him lose the desire to continue speaking in an instant.

Seeing Ambassador Goodwin's constipated expression, Carlo said with some embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I didn't sleep well yesterday, don't mind, go ahead."

Keep going with your big head, and your whole family will go on.

If you want to find an excuse, you don't have to be so casual.

The good diplomatic etiquette made Ambassador Goodwin resist the urge to burst out, and the diplomatic rhetoric that he wanted to continue to say could not continue.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, but perhaps I need to suggest to Paris that the diplomatic relations between your two countries be carefully considered."

In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and Ambassador Goodwin still let go of a cruel sentence before leaving.

Of course, we do not know whether Ambassador Goodwin will be able to live up to his harsh words. However, Ambassador Goodwin has decided to report to Paris that there have been some worrying changes in Italy. Perhaps it really shouldn't have been the case that Italy should not have been ignored in the first place.

Looking at the departing French ambassador, Carlo was a little helpless. In fact, he did not lie to the French ambassador, he really slept late last night. And today, the French ambassador hurried to protest early in the morning, and this yawning is also normal.

If the French ambassador was not happy, Carlo did not bother to pay attention to him, and he did not take the threats of the French to heart at all. As for why the ambassador did not look for the prime minister who wielded real power, but found himself?

The reason is simple, that is, Prime Minister De Pretis threw everything about Italy's involvement in the Sino-French war to Carlo.

He doesn't care if it's big or small. How could Carlo not understand the intentions of the prime minister, and after throwing all the problems to himself, no matter whether good or bad, it no longer has anything to do with him.

So Carlo was actually a little busy in this situation, and last night he was discussing the Sino-French war situation with the military people, and the conversation was a little too much, so he slept late. This is not a lie to the French ambassador, as for whether he yawned late or not, it is a matter of opinion.

While he was thinking about it, the chief of the guard, Felimich, walked in with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from the Far East."

"Show it to me."

As soon as he heard that it was a telegram from the Far East, Carlo immediately became energetic. After opening it and taking a look, he couldn't help but burst into foul language. "These Qing people don't even have a dock for repairs, what are they doing."

This telegram is not a complaining telegram sent by Leifeld and Gomes and others, but a procurement telegram, two Venetian-class cruisers, after all, after a naval battle, they still need to be repaired, the broken batteries and gun barrels also need to be replaced, and there are so many shells that need to be replenished.

Therefore, this is a procurement telegram, mainly to purchase artillery, ammunition and other parts of the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan two ships. It's just that Leyfell and others wrote in the telegram as a joke that Qing did not have a dock to accommodate two warships.

And Carlo saw such a strange situation, so he naturally burst into foul language, after all, this is related to the issue of his power, if the Qing Kingdom loses, then don't think about anything, wait for himself to become an adult, and see how much power he can ask for from the prime minister.

If he wins, he can take back some power directly from the prime minister. I believe that anyone who understands a little bit of power struggle can see the difference between the two.

That's why Carlo is so concerned about my Qing Dynasty, which is related to his own vital interests.

Of course, in addition to the purchase of weapons and supplies, this telegram also describes their situation. After a fight with France in the South China Sea, they were treated even more courteously in the Qing Kingdom. The Qing Kingdom is said to have intended to award them the honorary title of Baturu, and knowing that they attach more importance to the medal, they have specially prepared a gold dragon medal for them in recognition of their heroic performance.

As for that Liu Buyun, he was also promoted, but they couldn't remember the official name, and they still called others Major Liu.

Moreover, at present, they have sailed to Shanghai, and the reason why they came to Shanghai is to repair the two ships of Zhiyuan and Jingyuan. Although there is no suitable dock in Shanghai, there are always a large number of shipyard skilled workers, which can speed up their repairs to the two ships.

And Shanghai has initially shown itself as an international city, with more adaptation to life for Leffel and others, after all, they have only fought a battle, and they need some red wine steak to be treated, and there are more suitable for their milk bread and other Western food, although there are chefs on board, but as long as they have been on the warship, they must know that the main role of these people is to keep them from starving.

As for the news that France was preparing to reinforce the Far East, Carlo had already sent a telegram to Jia Liwen, the minister to the Qing state, and as for when the minister informed the Qing state, this was his problem. I believe that the Qing Kingdom will not be ignorant of this, and as for how to deal with it, then it is their own business. But now, Carlo also needs to vigorously support the Qing State's anti-French cause.

After putting down the telegram, Carlo spoke to the chief of the guard. "The weapons and supplies on this list should be prepared as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The chief of the guard bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

"What does Your Majesty command?"

"On the navy side, are you working on a new cruise?"

"Yes, at the moment Admiral Golek is organizing people to study the battle report they sent back. In response to the problems raised in the report, Admiral Golek has asked the designers of the Andosal shipyard to come up with a plan for improvements. ”

The chief of the guard's answer satisfied Carlo. It seems that the Navy is not in a hurry to start construction immediately, and can bear to wait a little longer.

Of course, Carlo didn't just stop the chief of the guard, but he continued to ask. "Has the ship carrying that cargo arrived in Guangzhou?"

"It hasn't arrived yet, the latest news was sent back from Singapore yesterday, and they are ready for the last trip."

Felimich could tell that the king was nervous, and he was responsible for arranging for the goods to be loaded onto the ship, but he didn't know what to worry about. The ships were all British cargo ships, and they were fast freighters. The whole process was kept secret at the highest level, and did France dare to casually intercept British merchant ships for inspection?

Felimici's thoughts, Carlo didn't know, but could he not worry, there was a big killer on this ship, specifically aimed at the French.
