My Italian

"What did the Prime Minister say?"

Carlo looked at the information in front of him and asked his chief guard with an unhappy face.

Carlo is very dissatisfied now. What makes him dissatisfied is that some officials in this disaster relief, those faint-hearted officials who did not show their disaster relief ability at all, completely failed his expectations.

These people are completely indifferent to disaster relief. Instead, they are proficient in greed and perverting the law. Although Italy has dealt with a lot of these worms that don't know how to live or die in recent years, how can this situation be solved once and for all? It is naturally endless.

And Carlo is considering the urgency of disaster relief in the year of drought, so he needs to keep an eye on these guys who may be bad. After all, many disaster relief measures need to be passed through them. As long as you are a little careful, the destructive power will be very huge.

That's right, Carlo's requirements for officials are very low now. Corruption is not the original sin, but doing things poorly is. Such idiots who are not only corrupt but also do things poorly should be put on the shooting range.

Of course, this is just thinking, even if Carlo Gui is the king, he can't do this. The last emperor Chongzhen who treated officials, didn't he die.

After all, he still doesn't have the position of Chongzhen's power and monopoly. Even now, Carlo is wise enough, and some things still need to be discussed. This is the biggest difference between Western monarchs and Eastern monarchs, and Carlo has been deeply touched these years.

Therefore, it is found that the faint-hearted officials who are ineffective can only be handed over to the Prime Minister to deal with. After all, it would be better if there were only one or two. If the number of people is too large, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be seen as abuse of power by the monarch. When the time comes, the officials will be collectively dissatisfied, and the gains will outweigh the losses. After all, Italy can be without a monarch, but not without officials.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister said that he will send people to inspect. If there is such a thing, it will be dealt with seriously."

The captain of the guard's words made Carlo feel unfazed, and he asked instead. "Is there anything unclear about the investigations?"

Carlo looked at the documents. The evidence was solid, so there was no need to bother.

Of course, Carlo also knows this, and it doesn't matter about the Chief Guard McClane.

"Forget it, let's go down."

Carlo's words made McLen feel amnesty, and hurried out of the room. But before the door closed, he came back.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here."

Since the Lord is here, you can see what you say. Carlo recovered immediately and replied. "Then what are you waiting for, let the Prime Minister come in."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"Prime Minister, you're welcome, what's the matter this time?"

Facing the Prime Minister's visit, Carlo asked with a smile.

In the face of Carlo's question, Antonio didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. Didn't you send someone a list of corrupt officials before? Our government actually attaches great importance to it, but considering the severity of the current drought, in order to avoid hitting officials' enthusiasm for disaster relief, we I think it would be better to postpone the review later.”

The Prime Minister's words made Carlo laugh out loud. "Hahaha, what else am I doing? It turned out to be this. You guys thought it through very carefully. I was stunned at the time. I'd like to ask the Prime Minister to make a trip in person. It's too polite."

"Your Majesty, even if I don't have this matter, I need to make a trip. Isn't this the beginning of disaster relief fundraising? Our government hopes that it is best for the royal family to preside over this matter. This will greatly encourage the people of the kingdom. of love.”

"I'm interested, I'll tell the queen later that she should organize a fundraising event for the ladies."

Carlo talked with the prime minister for half an hour, and after discussing some other trivial matters, the prime minister left. Valley

After he left, Carlo looked angry.

This time, the Prime Minister seems to be explaining on the surface, but in essence he is denying his decision. Why are you afraid to avoid attacking officials' enthusiasm for disaster relief? This is also a reason?

Of course, simple anger can't solve the problem at all. Now Carlo is eager to know what is wrong with the government.

There must be something he didn't know, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. He had a hunch that if he didn't check it out, things might get out of control, and it was very big.

Of course, in the evening, in a hidden room in the palace, Carlo spoke to the person in front of him. "Investigate it to see if there is anything on the government's side, and also on the political party's side. I always have a feeling that someone is hiding from me behind the scenes."

"As ordered, Your Majesty."

The investigation takes time, and Carlo is patient enough to wait.

But the next day, a piece of good news came.

"The Abyssinians won?"

"Your Majesty, I think so."

Carlo looked at the telegram in front of him and felt that it was really unpredictable.

The telegram stated that at the end of March this year, Menelik II took his carefully prepared army of 80,000 troops and invaded Sudan in one fell swoop. Its all the way down the Blue Nile River, a posture ready to enter Khartoum.

In the face of the invasion of an old rival, the Sudanese army will of course not let it do so. Sultan Caliph Abdullah even called an army of 100,000 to gather in Sennar, a city in the middle reaches of the Blue Nile.

Sennar is a hub city in Sudan. In addition to shipping on the Blue Nile, it has a road connecting the Darfur region in the west, Port Sudan and Eritrea in the east, and its geographical location is very important.

The two sides fought several battles around the city, but finally the Abyssinians with superior equipment and well-trained (relatively) had the last laugh, and the Sudanese army suffered a major defeat. And this time, Menelik II came prepared, chasing the Sudanese defeated all the way to its core city Khartoum, if Abdullah also arranged some troops in the city (anti-British), then It is very likely that the city will be captured in one fell swoop~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Even if it is not taken down in one fell swoop, Abdullah is not easy to be surrounded by the city of Khartoum. Menelik II led the army not only to surround Khartoum, but also to sack the surrounding villages and tribes, looting a large amount of food and livestock.

During this period, the Sudanese also organized several reinforcements, but they were all defeated. Those reinforcements were poorly equipped and had not been trained much, not to mention their combat effectiveness.

In view of this situation, Abdullah directly asked Menelik II outside the city for peace. It is normal to be unable to draw a sum, because everyone knows that if you want to solve the opponent at one time, don't even think about it.

Of course, Menelik II will not refuse the old rival's request for peace, but the other party accepts the fish on the chopping board and allows him to slaughter.

After some negotiation between king and king, Menelik II won a great victory.

In addition to the two fertile soils of the Akobo Valley and the Damazin region, the Sultan also ceded the Sobat Valley to the Kingdom of Abyssinia. In addition, Menelik II begged for 10,000 horses, 10,000 cattle, 40,000 sheep, 2,000 camels and other supplies as a reward for retreating.

Facing the highly harvested Abyssinian, Carlo said after thinking for a while. "Send a telegram to Menelik II and ask him to prepare 100,000 tons of grain and 50,000 cattle and sheep. I guarantee that the territories he has seized will not be demanded by the British."

"Your Majesty, do you send a report like this?"

"Just listen to me, that Menelik II is a smart man, he knows what to do,"
