Chapter 473: A Great Change in the Parliament

The successful development of the light machine gun and the launch of the dreadnought made Carlo feel much better on this patrol. He then continued to inspect Milan, Turin, and Genoa, and the results were not bad.

These cities are developing very well, such as Genoa's steel and shipbuilding industries, Turin's military and automobile industries, Milan's textiles and steel industries, etc., all of which are developing very well. With these industries, these cities have attracted many upstream and downstream related industries to develop here.

In general, these northern cities did not need much attention from Rome, they would have lived well and nourished on their own. Carlo is also quite satisfied with this, and then the government's focus needs to shift to the south, after all, the gap between the north and the south cannot be widened, otherwise it will cause social division, which is not conducive to the overall stability and harmony of Italy.

But when Carlo had just returned to Rome, a piece of news disrupted his good mood.

"In the parliamentary elections, the right-wing party won?"

After hearing this astonishing news, even Carlo had to ask one more question to be sure. Since the unification of Italy, except for the first five years (1871-1876) when it was a right-wing party, it has been a left-wing party since then, and it has always been a left-wing party, which has also held the parliament firmly until now. After all, it is nominally up to the parliament to choose the prime minister and then let the king approve it.

Therefore, the results of this parliamentary election are very delicate, and the partisan struggle that has not been revealed until now has resurfaced. Legally, though, the king has the power to decide for himself who to nominate to form the cabinet (in the event of a declared emergency, the king can appoint him directly). However, this power cannot be used casually, because it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the domestic parties, so we can only be cautious.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is yesterday's news, and Your Majesty was still on the train at the time, so I didn't send you a message."

Faced with the guard's answer, Carlo thought for a moment. "Let's go back first."

For Carlo, it's time to get to the bottom of the matter. The parties were the first to get the news of the king's return to Rome, and at this time, because of Carlo's return, the partisan struggle, which was a little imminent, was temporarily suppressed again.

Even the National Socialist Party, which won a resounding victory in this election, is waiting for something, or expecting something.

And Carlo, after returning to the palace, immediately looked through the information and finally learned what the situation was about the victory of the right-wing party.

This parliamentary election was not so much a defeat for the left-wing parties as a victory for the National Socialists. That's right, it was the victory of the National Socialist Party. Because in this parliamentary election, the National Socialist Party received 86 votes, much higher than the left-wing parties, and became the largest party in parliament. If we add in the 73 votes of the other parties on the right, the right-wing parties have won a total of 160 seats out of the 297 seats in parliament, surpassing the left-wing parties with 137 votes in one fell swoop, and making the right-wing parties the first time in 27 years that they are in charge of parliament.

Although the parliament in charge is more like an eraser, it is a huge boost to the inspiration and uplifting of the right-wing parties.

"How did the National Socialist Party become the largest party so quickly, and what is it about?"

Carlo, who was looking through the information, felt a little strange, and asked the intelligence chief to learn some details.

It turned out that the Kuomintang was able to win the general election this time, and it was calculated that the time and place were favorable.

There's also Carlo's own reasons, which is a bit embarrassing. Because Carlo and the Roman government wanted to take over the power to bring the National Socialist Party into the cabinet to promote the promotion of the law to change the districts into provinces, and the National Socialist Party did a very good job. This has greatly improved the perception of many people in the Multinational Socialist Party. Think of them as a party that dares to do things, has the courage to do things, and has the vigor to do things.

Don't underestimate this change, it can bring a lot of popularity to the party.

In addition, left-wing parties are unhappy with Prime Minister António for bringing the far-right National Socialist Party into his cabinet, especially a coalition of radical far-leftists. Even if Antonio explained this, he still could not gain the understanding of these radical far-leftists. The Far-Left Alliance, out of a desire for revenge, chose to play tricks on the left-wing parties in this parliamentary election, which directly led to a significant reduction in the seats of the left-wing parties. There is a smell of heresy being more hateful than heretical.

Seeing this, Carlo was a little crying and laughing, but he still pushed the other party by himself.

In addition to the entry of the National Socialist Party into the cabinet, there are actually some reasons. The slogans of the National Socialist Party, for example, were even more seductive.

In the country where Italian nationalism is prevalent, especially in recent years, Italy has developed well, which has made nationalism even higher. And the far right is already very attractive to nationalists. For example, the National Socialist Party proposed the New Roman Emperor. The claim that Italy needed dominance in the Mediterranean if it wanted to regain its glory was the most desirable thing for nationalists.

The good economic development of Italy also brought about the gradual growth of the domestic bourgeoisie, and monopoly capitalism was no longer a term, but appeared alive in front of the Kingdom of Italy. These monopoly capitalists were also interested in the theory of the expansion of the National Socialist Party. Of course, interest alone is not enough, in the eyes of these monopoly capitalists, the National Socialist Party is much better than the left-wing parties.

First of all, the slogan put forward by the National Society is dedication and dedication, declaring that as long as every patriotic Italian is willing to give a little, then Italy will have a better future. Look at how good the slogans of the Kuomintang Socialist Party are, and then look at the left-wing parties, freedom, people's livelihood, welfare, etc., these slogans will only lead to those workers demanding wage increases, better treatment, etc.

Moreover, in recent years, the left-wing parties have issued a number of social welfare demands, such as mandatory insurance for workers in factories, minimum wages, and overtime pay for working hours in excess of a series of measures.

Therefore, in this parliamentary selection, these new monopoly capitals attracted a lot of sponsorship for the National Socialist Party. This also led to the fact that the National Socialist Party spent far more money than other parties in this election, and it is an unchanging truth that more money can win the election, although occasionally there may be a small situation, but most of them are like this. It is precisely for these reasons that the National Society won the parliamentary election in one fell swoop.

Of course, what the National Socialist Party should do next to win the election will be quite a test of the political wisdom of the National Socialist Party leadership. After all, as long as other right-wing parties are united at this time, it seems that the position of prime minister is not impossible for the National Socialist Party to sit. This was also the source of the dark tide in Rome before Carlo's return.

Carlo is also very curious about the next performance of the national society, of course, what to do next, he is also a little confused now, so let's take a look first.
