The army's new generation of standard rifles made Carlo still satisfied, although it was not as good as the later rifles, but considering the relationship between the years, this gun can still be used for more than ten years.

Of course, it would be a bit too much to fight with this rifle for half a century, as in previous lives. Of course, we will talk about it later, but the most important issue at present is the issue of output.

Of course, for the production of this gun, Carlo made the army ecstatic as soon as he opened his mouth, and the output of 350,000 units in two years almost changed the army, which made those military leaders think that the method worked.

However, only Carlo himself knows that this is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Italian Army.

After returning to the palace from the Burke Experimental Field, Carlo began to devote himself to busy work, after all, he had been away for more than half a month, and the work had accumulated a little too much. Not to mention some of the technology purchased from Germany, which needs to be absorbed by the Italian factory.

But as if God just didn't want to do what he wanted, a few days later, a piece of news made Carlo immediately unable to sit still.

The news came from the banking sector, as the president of the Bank of Rome, Tanelogia, withdrew 37.4 million lira from the Bank of Rome with double interest payments. A member of the council who discovered his actions was on his way to the Bank of Rome when he accidentally saw the president and asked his friend to leave with a box full of banknotes. So under the stop of this councilor, the case was exposed. (This is true, and it shows the extent of the audacity of this Mr. Taneloja.) ）

Such a huge amount of money made Carlo angry.

"What about that Taneloja and his friends?"

In his office, Carlo looked at the prime minister in front of him and asked about the prime minister's disposition.

Faced with an angry Carlo's question, De Pretis, as the prime minister, hesitated and said. "Your Majesty, you must be cautious in dealing with Taneloja."

"Why?"

Faced with the Prime Minister's answer, Carlo was a little surprised. Because according to reason, this matter should not be dealt with seriously, and there are other officials who dare to shield the president of the Bank of Rome at this time.

Seeing Carlo with a surprised face, Prime Minister De Pretis thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

It was only during the Prime Minister's briefing that Carlo understood why the case should be treated with caution. Because the disposal of Tanelogia is not only a matter of corruption, if this matter is exposed, then the Italian banking industry will be implicated. The public will not think that this is just the fault of the president of the Bank of Rome and will demand a thorough investigation of the entire banking industry.

And this is the most important thing, because the current Italian banking industry cannot withstand a thorough investigation, which involves a large landmine currently placed under the Italian government, and the situation of over-issuance of currency.

In fact, in addition to borrowing, the Italian government has also allowed banks to secretly overissue currency to ease its fiscal pressure.

In addition to this, the withdrawal of French capital from Italian banks is also a large factor. After the bad relations between the two countries, the French withdrew their capital. This forced the Bank of Italy to find a way to issue more currency in order to avoid bankruptcy.

So several factors add up, which makes the bank over-issue a bit of money.

According to the estimates of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance, these over-issued currencies currently amount to 3.14 billion lira. If this mine is blown out, it will be faced with the imminent bankruptcy of the Italian state finances.

So the disposal of the greedy president of Tanelogia is not the key, but how to preserve the credibility of the Italian currency. You must know that it is very easy to destroy the credit of money, you just need to keep issuing money, but it is very difficult to build up the credit of money.

At present, Italy's fiscal revenue is only more than 1.4 billion lira a year, which is more than the Italian fiscal revenue in two years.

In the face of the Prime Minister's words, Carlo was silent. He is not stunned for a long time, and many years of government affairs have made him know how difficult it is to maintain the development of Italy, and this thunder can not only destroy his previous achievements, but also drag down Italy's domestic development for seven or eight years.

With such serious consequences, even Carlo, who is the king, does not dare to act lightly. I had to find a way to slowly dismantle the mine that was buried under Italy's body.

"So what's the good solution for your government?"

Carlo asks this sentence, which means that he bows to reality. Because it's not okay not to bow your head, in this era when you are chasing me, the Italian economy is just improving, like a sprout, and it can't withstand any wind and rain, let alone a financial storm like this.

Carlo's opening made the prime minister breathe a sigh of relief, he was most afraid of the young king, regardless of it, and the consequence of this could only be his resignation with the cabinet. Because this pot will only be borne by himself and his cabinet ministers, and of course, the Italian economy will suffer a heavy blow.

"According to the government's idea, let that president of Taneloja spit out the money, and then he himself left for physical reasons."

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Carlo was somewhat silent. "That's all?"

"This is the only way to do this, I have asked that councillor to stop continuing to promote the matter of Taneloja, we must not do anything rash now, it will be a disaster."

In the face of the Prime Minister's words, Carlo was somewhat dissatisfied. "We need to strengthen financial regulation, and we have to let those banks know that the government is watching them."

"But that's what we need to focus on in the future, but we have to take it down now."

Of course he knows what Prime Minister De Pretis meant. If the embankment is leaking, the gap needs to be plugged first, and the issue of reinforcing the embankment and holding those responsible accountable can be done later, and the primary purpose must be clear.

"Then follow the government's approach and do it."

Carlo replied, and sat down in his chair and fell into deep thought.

In this case, the prime minister also knows that the king is uncomfortable, and he is actually uncomfortable either. "Your Majesty, I take my leave."

"Wait a minute."

In response to the king's sudden call to stop himself, Prime Minister Depretis turned back and asked. "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

I saw Carlo say with a serious face, "This matter must not be exposed." ”

"I understand."

Depretis said this, thought for a moment, and continued. "If it is exposed, I will resign with the cabinet."

When the Prime Minister had left, Carlo called the Chief Chamberlain. "Send a message and let the nightingale come for a trip."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although the government did not dare to deal with the president of the Bank of Rome because of financial concerns, Carlo had to resort to a few small means.

An hour later, in a secret room in the palace, Carlo spoke to an ordinary-looking man. "Mr. Taneloja, President of Roman Bank, I heard that he is in a bad physical condition, can he survive for a year?"

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't be able to get through, I heard that he likes to fish on the beach, and the sea is very dangerous."

Carlo was pleased with the answer and nodded. "There you go."

I'm in a good mood
