My Italian

"William, please forgive me."

When standing in front of his friend again, Carlo showed a sad expression.

"Thank you very much for coming, Carlo, I'll take note of this."

William II, who also had a sad expression, patted Carlo on the shoulder as he spoke to show respect.

"Don't say that, William. It's not just for our personal feelings, but also for the relationship between the two countries."

Carlo's frank and straightforward words made William II feel a quality different from others. Of course, he is not saying anything now, but the things in his eyes have already explained everything.

And Carlo also knew that he couldn't stay in front of William all the time on this occasion, so he then greeted other William's family members. Such as Queen Victoria, Prince Heinrich, Princess Sophie and so on. When facing these people, Carlo was also meticulous and did his own etiquette very well.

The Germany that Carlo visited this time has fewer members. Only the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bakona, is considered to be of weight. Others are not very important.

The heavy funeral is going on, but compared with the last solemn funeral of William I, this time is much worse in terms of scale and guests. The reason is very simple. The previous William I was highly respected and loved by the German people. As for Emperor Frederick III, he had only been in office for three months, and he basically never showed up. How many people really liked this emperor.

Of course, for Carlo, this doesn't really matter to him, because his visit to Germany this time came with an important mission. Of course, in a situation like Zhang Li, he wouldn't say this.

This needs to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne, and he will contact William II to talk about it. Otherwise, so many years of friendship, this is not a waste.

And just as Carlo was busy greeting the family of Emperor Frederick III, a pair of eyes in the distance stared at him for a long time.

"This King Carlo is so diligent, he must have some ideas."

The Prime Minister Bismarck said this, and by his side was one of the three heroes who had left office, Marshal Mao Qi. The two stood aside and watched for a long time.

"No matter what he thinks, isn't it still you, the German helmsman."

In the face of Mao Qi's words, which he didn't know whether to compliment or irony, Bismarck did not answer, but instead asked. "Mao Qi, why did you think of leaving the General Staff?"

That's right, Marshal Mao Qi has left the General Staff Department, which he had grown in his hands, and he who retired is like a leisurely cloud and wild crane, living a leisurely life of his own. Had it not been for the death of the emperor, he would not have come to Berlin.

But this time it wasn't just because of that, there was another reason that after a leisurely life, Mao Qi didn't feel accustomed to it, and he planned to continue to contribute to the military. Of course, he will no longer hold the position of Chief of the General Staff. He tends to focus more on military theory or other issues.

"Wadesi can manage the General Staff. If so, why should I continue to stay there."

There was one more word that Mao Qi didn't say, but Bismarck heard it.

However, Mao Qi didn't like his style of running away first when he saw that the opportunity was wrong.

"We can't let the results of our hard work leave it to others, at least we need to look at it a little bit."

Facing Bismarck's words, Mao Qi said with a smile. "You're wrong, everyone has their own ideas, unless you're going to run the country with military regulations. But you know, it's impossible, it's going to spark an internal war, and I'll never allow such a thing occur."

Although the two of them said something a little out of mind, they still knew what they meant.

His Excellency the Prime Minister is persuading Mao Qi to stay, but Mao Qi instead persuades the Prime Minister to take this opportunity to retire. The words of the following two people represent their own ideas, and the results are naturally different, and they cannot convince the other party.

"Then what do you do next?"

Facing the Prime Minister's inquiry, Mao Qi spread his hands and said. "I plan to study some purely military theoretical questions, and I will not ask about others."

Well, in the face of Mao Qi, who has no enterprising spirit, Bismarck does not intend to say more. After all, Mao Qi is older than himself. Maybe studying these is also a kind of fun for him.

But speaking of this, Mao Qi is the oldest among the three heroes. Born in 1800, he is already 88 years old. And Marshal Ron Earl, one of the deceased three heroes, is also three years younger than Mao Qi. As for Bismarck, now in his seventies, he thinks he can still do his last for Germany.

But this is what Bismarck himself thinks, but some people don't think so.

"You know, Carlo, when I was young, I admired my grandfather and the three heroes who made great contributions, especially the Prime Minister who used excellent diplomacy. But during the time I worked with him, I felt terrible, this A prime minister has gone from hero to stubborn, and I really don't know how to persuade him."

On the second day, William II found his good friend Carlo, and talked about his distress incessantly. There were only two people in the living room~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Even the servants who served were kicked out. The chief guard even arranged for attendants to prohibit others from approaching, disturbing the conversation between the two.

Why would William II tell Carlo about his dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister? After all, Carlo is a friend, and he is also a friend of the king, which is enough. Second, tell Carlo that these are the least threatening to him.

That's right, if William II speaks to anyone, it may cause harm, but it's fine if he speaks to Carlo.

The reason is simple, Carlo is not involved in German political circles. In addition, Italy is begging Germany, and dare not release the words of William II, unless Italy feels that it has too many friends.

I didn't see the pained expression on Carlo's face. William II came to say this early in the morning. It seems that something must have made him angry yesterday.

Of course, in the face of the angry William II, Carlo could only persuade and persuade. "William, in fact, I think the relationship between you and Prime Minister Bismarck has deteriorated, and it is more a matter of communication and listening. The same words, the effect is completely different for you and the Prime Minister. Of course, you and Prime Minister Bismarck's political philosophy It may be different, and we need patience at this time.”

Although Carlo said that this also requires patience, but he knew that the two of them could solve problems with more than just patience. Of course, he has no intention of acting as a peacemaker, but has his own purpose.

However, it is inconvenient for him to say at present, and he needs to wait until he has contact with the Jagged Prime Minister before making a decision.

Of course, in front of William II, he was still a good friend.

After the chat between the two was over, the satisfied William II was sent away.

Carlo said, "Tell Bakona, let him contact the German government, and ask them what their attitude is to our request to revise the treaty."
