My Italian

Chapter 20: Prime Minister's Reflections

Carlo was very surprised by Filimic's words.

Filimic understood Carlo's surprised expression very well. He was not much better than Carlo when he got the news at the time. Because this news is completely a sudden storm for the current Roman political circle.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable."

Hearing Filimic's answer, Carlo pondered. If that's the case, it's not what he and many others want to see.

"Is it impossible to change?"

"It shouldn't be changed. According to the information, Femilet and the Earl of Berwick visited the two last night, and then the two agreed to stop all actions against each other."

Both of them, Carlo, knew each other. Femilet was a well-known Italian capitalist, and the shipping company he opened accounted for 10% of Italy's shipping, which shows his weight. In addition, he opened the largest textile factory in Italy in Milan, with 1,800 workers. If there is a rich list, this Mr. Fimilet should be in the top three.

As for the Earl of Berwick, this man is not as rich as Fimilet, but he owns a considerable land in southern Italy and has a great local influence.

The reason for all this is that Count Berwick was an important minister of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies during the period of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. When Italy was unified, in order to reduce the resistance from the region, the nobles of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies were mainly recruited.

Although this accelerated the pace of Italian unification, it also left many problems.

But before that, the two gentlemen Carlo had met before, and he still remembered what they looked like when they met with their father. Unexpectedly, after the temporary absence of royal power, they quickly adapted and found new positions. Of course, Carlo doesn't want to blame them. Whoever temporarily lost the current kingship, they will only follow in the footsteps of power.

However, this news was not very good for him.

Thinking of this, Carlo couldn't help but ask. "Do you know what agreement they reached?"

"This is not clear, because when they negotiated, no outsiders were present, and our spies couldn't get in at all."

Felipe Mitch's words made Carlo think of a very important question, and he asked directly. "How many people know this news now?"

"The people who know it at the moment should be limited to a few people, but in two days, the two will appear in a meeting together, and then everyone will know."

"Two days...two days..."

Carlo thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't think of any good way to reach a favorable situation in these two days.

In the final analysis, it is because of his age. Fifteen or sixteen-year-olds are difficult to gain the trust of others, unless the other party knows enough about him. Speaking of understanding, Carlo couldn't help but think of Mr. Cosenz, the special envoy of Garibaldi.

"Perhaps I should write another letter to Garibaldi."

When Carlo regretted the cessation of the turmoil, some people were also blaming themselves.

In the Prime Minister's Office, everyone is doing their own things carefully and lightly. Such a busy and quiet picture is very strange, but there are reasons for this, and the reason is very simple. The owner of this house needs to be quiet .

In the prime minister's office, Cairoli sat quietly on the sofa and meditated quietly. There was no other sound in the room except for the sound of the pendulum.

"Wow"

The match lit the pipe, and the smoke from the pipe covered Cairoli's uncertain face. After a long time, he sighed.

"It was a little too extreme before."

That's right, now Cairoli regrets some of his previous actions. After the regent didn't care, he suddenly found himself the most powerful man in Italy, and was lost in the face of the sudden power he gained. He regards himself as the master of Italy, and doing so has brought him a lot of good and bad.

The advantage is that he is currently in the government, he said, but the disadvantage is that he has added a lot of enemies to himself. Of course, there are only a few people such as former Prime Minister Depretis on the bright side, but he believes that like an iceberg on the sea, there are more hidden.

Fortunately, he realized it in time, otherwise once the battle between him and DePretis broke out publicly, what would happen.

As for Fimilet and Berwick, it was just a coincidence. How could he choose to reconcile because of the persuasion of the two, it was just his inner vigilance admonishing himself.

And he locked himself up alone, just to reflect on his previous actions.

After sorting out all his actions, Cairoli put down his pipe, he already had an idea. He rang the bell, and Secretary Doss, who had been waiting outside, immediately pushed the door in.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter?"

Looking at the troubled secretary standing in front of him, Cairoli smiled. "What's the matter, Doss, am I scary?"

With Cairoli's words, Doss felt that the familiar Prime Minister returned.

"No, Master UU reading www.uukanshu.com has always been very good."

"Okay, I thought differently before, so I'm a little harsher on you, don't take it offense."

Hearing the Prime Minister's intention to apologize to him, Doss felt that the Prime Minister he was familiar with really came back, which made Doss a little excited.

"Go and prepare for the meeting. I'm going to convene the other ministers for a meeting."

"As ordered, Your Excellency Prime Minister."

The sudden meeting did not cause the other ministers the slightest rush. For them, the meeting was part of their work, so they rushed over after receiving the notice from the Prime Minister's Office.

After everyone was due, Cairolli arrived as promised.

"Okay, let's have a meeting next."

In this unimportant parliament, everyone found that the prime minister has changed, and he has changed back to the prime minister they are familiar with. Whether it is his speech, demeanor or attitude, he has returned to his previous appearance.

The unexpected success of this parliament, no one expected the change of the Prime Minister, whether it is for confidants or potential dissidents, needs time to face this new situation, so this meeting is unusual. smoothly.

After the meeting was over, Cairoli sat on the main seat to rest.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, everyone else in this meeting was dumbfounded."

After sending everyone else away, Secretary Dossing hurried in to talk about his performance today.

"Okay, stop talking."

Cairoli stood up, "We still have a lot to do next."

Speaking of which, Cairoli thought of Carlo. For these ministers and colleagues, he is sure to control them. As for that majesty, I believe that after expressing goodwill and respect, the young monarch will improve himself.
