The news brought by the chief of the guard really shocked Carlo. Because he really did not know the time of Kaiser Wilhelm I's death.

However, the news of Wilhelm I's death was indeed very alarming, because he was the founder of the Second German Reich. The story of him and the three heroes of unification is a household name.

Of course, the most famous of the three is Prime Minister Bismarck, but the other two are not small, Moltke's General Staff is the object of imitation by various countries, and the other less famous General Ron, the military reform of Prussia, has skyrocketed its military power.

Of course, Prussia was able to unify Germany and expel Austria, and it was true that it was not only by the emperor and the three masters, but also by thousands of people and soldiers who fought for it.

But it's too late to say this, and the death of Wilhelm I also represents the exit of an older generation of politicians. In any case, once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is not only valid for China, but also for other countries.

While the grieving Germans don't know this at the moment, Carlo, an outsider, knows it all too well. Of course, he also knew that Frederick III, the Hundred Days Emperor who had been misdiagnosed by quacks, was a pity that the emperor died.

However, Carlo has no idea of changing his trajectory, for the simple reason that if it does, then the trajectory of history in his grasp will inevitably change. Although his appearance can be regarded as changing the trajectory of history, at present, this influence is only mainly reflected in Italy, and the situation in Europe has not changed much, and Carlo can still grasp it.

At this time, Frederick III, who was about to succeed to the throne, could no longer speak, because his trachea had been cut open and a silver snorkel had been inserted.

Such a result has made many German officials hesitate about the upcoming successor Frederick III, so they can focus more on Crown Prince Wilhelm.

Of course, this was only a private act, and on the surface the whole of Germany was grieving the death of Wilhelm I. For the founder of the German Empire, not only led the reunification of Germany, but also the development of Germany in these years, it also has its great credit. Although Prime Minister Bismarck is doing a lot of the work, without his approval, can the prime minister have so much power?

Of course, for Carlo now, that can't be done like William I. There are many reasons, among which he is not at ease with the prime minister, which is the most crucial.

No one understands better than him how important Italy's future trajectory is, and it can be said that if it were not for the complicated situation ahead, Carlo could have tried to delegate some power to the prime minister. On the one hand, this can make officials more active, and on the other hand, it can also make the throne more secure. After all, power also represents responsibility, absolute power represents, and Carlo also bears all the responsibility on him.

But alas, Carlo has not met the kind of prime minister he can trust now, and the same is true of the current Prime Minister de Pretis.

And now, in the face of the news of Kaiser Wilhelm I's death, Karlo thought about it and ordered. "Bring in the prime minister immediately, I have a job to arrange for him to do."

True, Carlo had already figured out that he was going to attend the funeral of Kaiser Wilhelm I in person. On the one hand, it is out of respect for Germany as an ally, after all, the king is much more important than the prime minister. On the other hand, it was also to establish a good relationship with Wilhelm II, who was promoted to crown prince.

At present, Carlo's correspondence with Wilhelm II is quite good, almost to the point of a week. However, the last time we saw each other was five years ago, and after such a long time, it was time to have to move around. And Carlo also wanted to see if the current Wilhelm II had changed.

Carlo didn't have to wait long, and an hour later, Prime Minister de Preetis appeared in front of him.

As soon as they met, without waiting for the prime minister to catch his breath, Carlo spoke. "Chancellor, have you received the news of Kaiser Wilhelm I's death?"

In response to Carlo's inquiry, Prime Minister De Pretis nodded in reply. "I found out more than forty minutes ago, and it's a big deal."

After seeing that the prime minister knew, Carlo directly stated his intentions. "This time to see the funeral of the Kaiser and the enthronement of the new emperor, I will lead the team."

It is clear that what Carlo meant was that the prime minister stayed.

Faced with the arrangement in Carlo's words, Prime Minister De Pretis agreed without thinking about it. "Yes, Your Majesty."

It is simply impossible to know that the chancellor does not want to represent Italy at the Kaiser's funeral. But since the king is gone, it makes sense for him to stay and guard his house.

Of course, Carlo doesn't just instruct people, he also does the previous work.

"Besides, I will approve the Governor of Kairoli's desire to cut off money for the construction of the railway. I will also approach the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Tejela, to inform me of my decision and let him put the gossip under control. ”

Why does Carlo say that?

Because he didn't want to embarrass Depretis, who doesn't know the situation of the government, lack of money is an eternal topic. And asking him to increase the amount of the Lanfang colony is not what he wants, because he does not want to lose the reputation of bullying the former prime minister. Of course, this is only one aspect, on the other hand, I still want to let Cairoli play better and make Lanfang a land of wealth in Italy.

But no matter what, what Carlo continues to do can be regarded as helping him end. It's not a help to him, Carlo thinks so himself.

After hearing Carlo's words, DePretis immediately asked. "So how long is Your Majesty going to leave?"

Attending the funeral must have been very time-sensitive, but considering that the work at hand needed to be handed over, Carlo thought about it and gave a specific number. "Departing in three days."

At this point, Carlo continued, considering that going to Germany would inevitably lead to discussions with the government about the relationship between the two countries. "In addition to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Commerce, Trade, Industry, and Agriculture will accompany us on this trip, and we may have to discuss with the Germans something to strengthen exchanges."

Well, Carlo's words, this is to pull away a small half of the Italian cabinet.

And in the face of Carlo's decision, the prime minister did not complain, who made Carlo the king.

Then the two discussed other things, and when the lights came on, they finally talked about it.

In the following three days, not only the Carlo government was busy with the king's travels. After all, as a guarantee of Italy's security, Germany was too important to it.

Three days later, in the Rome railway station, Carlo and the traveling officials waved goodbye to the people who saw them off, and embarked on a trip to Germany.

I'm in a good mood
