"Your Majesty, we have just received the news that the terms of peace that Germany had conveyed to France through a neutral country had been directly rejected by it."

In the palace, Foreign Minister Bacona was reporting to Carlo on the latest diplomatic information.

As the saying goes, if you see a good thing, you will accept it. After the Germans seized Paris, there was some noise in their country that they would accept what was good. In fact, there are such voices not only in Germany, but also in Rome and Vienna, and although these voices are still relatively weak, they are also different opinions within each country, and at this time, in order to unite all the political forces that can be united in the country, countries cannot ignore this voice.

So, after consulting the two allies, Germany tentatively sent a message of peace to France.

However, in the face of Germany's olive branch, the French, who felt that they still needed to regain face, rejected their proposal very stubbornly, saying that they could withstand it.

Since the French refused, the three countries also had an explanation internally, and you see that this is what the other side is unwilling to do.

"Since the French refused, it can make many people with illusions die."

It was Prime Minister Cruz who was very busy now, and after the outbreak of the war, there were so many things more than before, waking up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs. The head is also reborn, and the whole person shows a sense of vicissitudes and exhaustion.

In fact, more than the prime minister, for the entire Italian government at present, it was already busy before the outbreak of the war, and even more busy after the outbreak of the war. Assist the army in recruiting soldiers, material distribution, work coordination, etc.

"Prime Minister, for the wartime management system, we must come up with it after half a year."

At this point, Carlo suddenly snapped up.

In the face of the king's words, Cruz did not answer directly, but nodded silently.

At present, this wartime management system is being developed by the government. Such a detailed wartime management system is also the first time in history, and there have been other countries in history before, but it is only a few brief management systems, and the management is also very loose.

And this time, the Italian government enacted quite strict controls, because the core of this decree is to bring all the goods of the whole country, no matter whose own, into the scope of the government's management.

Think about how terrible it is, the grain grown by the peasants can only be purchased by the government except for rations, which has ruined the jobs of many people. In addition, not only food, but also daily necessities, as well as various industrial goods and raw materials needed for the war, were controlled by the government.

It can be said that most of the economy, except for a small part of the economy, needs to be controlled by the government. How many people's interests are involved, and how many people will resist even if it is on the grounds of war.

And these people, of course, are reluctant to get the government to come up with this control law, and naturally they are doing everything in their power to weaken the prolongation of the promulgation of the law. Prime Minister Cruze alone has received several requests for favors, which he cannot refuse directly, otherwise he would not have handed them to him.

Of course, the purpose of these people is not to get the prime minister to cancel the implementation of the bill, but to try to minimize the impact of the bill on them.

These big names also know where the bill came from, and no one can stop it from being enacted unless someone is crazy. Not to mention that this is a time of war, and no one dares to move.

His Excellency the Prime Minister has also made an effort to negotiate amicably with these people, who are all over the Italian community and who can exert great influence on the industry, although they are not as strong as the government, but together even Carlo cannot ignore their opinions.

So in the face of the pressure from these shops, this wise monarch rarely did not show his attitude to the prime minister, pretending not to see it.

In addition to the fact that this pressure was too great, there were also these people who were very measured and did not directly oppose the implementation of the wartime management system, but let its implementation be carried out a little less.

It's clear that someone who knows Carlo well is involved, otherwise if it's against it, then Carlo would really have to clean it up.

And with the exception of Carlo's wartime regulations, today's meeting is not just about diplomatic contacts.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, at present, our Ministry of the Interior has assisted the military in completing the first and second batches of recruitment in accordance with the requirements, and is currently preparing for the third batch of recruitment. In addition, the nationwide personnel registration and filing work is nearing completion, except for the mountainous areas and some distant islands that cannot be rushed, other places have basically completed the task of registration and filing. Next, the Ministry of the Interior will issue a resident certificate to him to ensure that the follow-up work is carried out. ”

Chancellor Brugg reported on the work of their Ministry of the Interior.

Speaking of which, the Ministry of the Interior is currently the busiest department of the government. Because of the outbreak of war, the Ministry of the Interior had to cooperate with the military's recruitment tasks, in addition to the heavy work on the government's side. For example, the management of public security, as well as the guidance and control of public opinion, etc., it can be said that most of the work carried out by the government at present is related to the Ministry of the Interior, which also leads to the fact that the Ministry of the Interior is definitely the most tired department of the government.

Of course, tired and tired, there must be no mistakes in the work. Brugg has not been home for half a month, and has been keeping an eye on the execution of various tasks in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At the moment, it seems that it is not bad, and under the strong pressure of Brugger, the work of the Ministry of the Interior is progressing very well.

Even Brugg, the No. 3 man in the National Socialist Party, is a shining political achievement.

"Your Excellency Brugg, your Ministry of the Interior has done a very good job."

The affirmation from King Carlo meant a lot to him, and made him feel that the hard work was worth it.

Now that the Ministry of the Interior has made a good start, it is now the turn of other departments to report.

How to say, the reports of these departments are good and bad, and some of the work progress makes Carlo frown, and some can also be commended by him. Overall, though, the progress of the work was satisfactory to Carlo.

So near the end of the meeting, he spoke. "Thank you very much for your work, and I am still very satisfied with the progress of the work of the government. Of course, there are some small unsatisfactory places, I hope they can be corrected in the future, and of course we should also be praised for our excellence. ”

After a brief concluding remarks, the ministers also got up and left. There is still a lot of work waiting for them, and no one will be free during the war.

As for Prime Minister Cruz, he was stopped by Carlo as he was about to leave.

"Prime Minister, come with me to the General Staff."

Carlo stopped him for the simple reason that there was a battle ahead that required the cooperation of the government.
