My Italian

Chapter 479: follow-up effects

Remember [New] for a second,! "Teera, isn't this too impulsive?"

Prime Minister Antonio and the Chancellor of the Exchequer live in the back row for a conversation in a Fiat S-type sedan that Fiat provides to senior government officials.

"It's not too impulsive. This year, I feel that my energy is low, and I have encountered the issue of the Navy's shipbuilding, so I want to let go. The Ministry of Finance is too tired to stay, and there is no rest time at all. I even have Xiao Ruidi for half a year. I haven't seen it."

Antonio knew that this little Reddy, who was Tejera's favorite grandson, was only three or four years old, when he was the cutest.

"Don't say it, I haven't seen my daughter Lynn for a long time. Now that we have reached this position, we need to think more about Italy, and it is helpless to have no time to spend with our family."

In the face of Antonio's persuasion, Tejera certainly knew the deep meaning of the Prime Minister. First, the Ministry of Finance he has managed over the years has been very good, which has satisfied everyone. Second, the importance of the Ministry of Finance makes the selection issue very difficult. It is difficult to have both ability and the approval of the king, especially the latter.

However, in the face of the Prime Minister's retention, Tejera was not willing to accept it. "I'll stick with it for another year, until you choose the right person."

These words made Antonio unable to say any more. It seems that the Minister of Finance has made up his mind. There is no choice but to quickly elect a new Chancellor of the Exchequer. But this is not something he needs to consider, and I believe the king will also have a headache for it.

The choice of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is something that the Prime Minister and the King should worry about, and it will also be rewarding for everyone else attending this meeting.

This was the case with General Simeone, Chief of the Army General Staff. After he returned to his office without saying a word throughout the meeting, he called in Major General Greeri from the training office.

"Give me the list of the previously abolished troops, I want to see."

Facing the words of Admiral Simeone's sudden rise, Major General Grieri, an old subordinate, asked curiously. "Admiral, is there something new?"

"The Navy is going to expand, and it's going to be a big one."

Simeone's words made Major General Grieri's eyes shine. He immediately understood the deep meaning of Admiral Simeone's words. Since the navy is going to expand greatly, it means that the situation is restless, or the kingdom is moving. Then the army must also need to be expanded, otherwise why would the navy expand.

Speaking of which, the Army has been working harder than before. With the development of science and technology, more and more new equipment and technologies need to be developed by the Army.

What field telephones, armored vehicles, radio communications, and train guns derived from armored trains, etc., just new-style artillery, field cannons, howitzers, mountain guns, etc. The development of these new weapons requires money. If it is not for the joint research and development of the three countries, the army's military expenditure will not be enough.

At present, the total strength of the army has dropped to less than 200,000. At this point, the troops still have to guard the mainland, the Balkans, North Africa, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Far East.

To put it another way, Italy is currently relying more on the Three Emperors Alliance to deal with the land threat from France. That's right, because the size of the army has dropped too much, relying on the army of more than 80,000 people on the Italian-French border alone makes the army a little at a loss.

There is no way, there are only so many funds. If you want to keep up with the pace of all countries, you can only find a way from the personnel and funds. As for national defense and security, we can only rely on the deterrence of our allies.

Since paying such a high price, the army also has many new equipment. For example, artillery, radio stations, field telephones, train guns, etc., which are conducive to maneuvering using large rubber wheels.

In particular, the latest train gun P2 type train gun, which uses the Navy's 254mm naval gun as the prototype, has a range of up to 23.3 kilometers, and can fire 1-2 rounds per minute to carry out long-range shelling on the enemy. It can launch armor-piercing projectiles. Grenades, high-explosive bombs and other bombs have a total weight of 174 tons, and they can go anywhere without deployment. It is the most powerful long-range artillery in the army's hands, and can deal with large and solid targets such as ground fortresses and naval battleships.

In addition to these, the Army also intends to form an air force. That's right, the Air Force. However, everyone thinks differently. In addition to those dexterous planes, the unit also has a big guy, an airship.

At present, countries including Italy, although the flight fever has continued, their aircraft performance has not been high, and they can basically only fly 10-20 kilometers. Last year, Pablo, an aspiring aviator, tried to fly across the English Channel, but he failed. The plane broke down halfway and plunged into the sea. He also needs to be agile, coupled with the speed of the rescue boat, otherwise he can only be with the fish and shrimp in the sea.

And Count Led Zeppelin's rigid airship flew successfully the year before, and immediately attracted the attention of Germany and Italy. Because the rigid airship is much higher than the current aircraft in terms of load capacity and safety. (You must know that flying a plane is called the game of the brave, and the accident rate is very high)

The military is not a fool. This airship, which can transport or drop bombs in the air, must be taken seriously. Not to mention that these airships use helium gas produced in Italy, which has improved the safety performance by a notch.

Therefore, the Italian Army gritted its teeth and purchased three rigid airships (two small and one large) for military missions. Of course, in addition to the most valued airships, the Army has also purchased 12 gadgets such as aircraft. Although the current aircraft performance is not good and can only fly for 10 to 20 kilometers, in the future, with the development of technology, its range will be greatly improved. Growth, it is also very good for the Army to spend a little money to plan ahead (the current cost of an aircraft is not too expensive, about 20,000-30,000 liras).

And this major naval expansion is also an opportunity for the Army, otherwise why would Admiral Simone rush back to the list to be abolished.

"Admiral, it seems that the hardships of our army will not last for a few years."

Major General Greeri thought of this with a smile on his face.

"This information must be kept secret and not allowed to go out."

Simeone, who took over the list and looked at it, told his subordinates. This kind of information must be kept secret, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, he doesn't want to tear down Ma Su.

"Don't worry, Admiral, no one can get the words out of my mouth."

Major General Greeri saluted and walked to his office. He still had a lot of work to do.

Simeone is not alone in feeling the significance of the naval expansion, as a small meeting is taking place at the home of Home Secretary Cruz. The participants were all senior leaders of the National Socialist Party, and Cruz, the convener, was expressing his opinions impassively.

"Our National Socialist Party needs to continue to publicize our ideas and let everyone know that the prosperity of the kingdom requires everyone to fight for it. In addition, when publicizing, we should focus on promoting the spirit of dedication and sacrifice, and let the people know that only by relying on With dedication and bravery and sacrifice, our country will be able to gain more benefits. And only when the motherland is strong and strong can each of us be rewarded by the country."

Cruz's words made several National Socialist executives look thoughtful, and one of them asked after he had finished speaking. "President, did you get the exact news, which conflict does the kingdom want to be involved in?"

Everyone is smart, and through Cruz's repeated words of sacrifice ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ everyone smells a little abnormal.

"There is no exact news, but I think the kingdom is preparing, and with the tensions in Europe, as an important country in Europe, we may not be able to escape."

Cruz's words attracted the approval of others. At present, the relationship between Germany and France is relatively tense, and Britain and Germany are not very happy because of the naval issue. How could Italy, as an ally, escape. Not to mention, in terms of Mediterranean interests, the relationship between Italy and France is already tense, and the relationship between the United Kingdom has gradually changed in a bad direction in recent years.

"Maybe there's going to be a war, and that's our party's chance."

"It's hard to say. It depends on who will be beaten in the end. It's too early to say this now."

The executive committee members who attended the meeting gave advice one after another, trying to contribute to the future of the National Socialist Party.

In Cruz's mind, he believes that the approval of the monarch is more important. As long as the monarch agrees, it will not be a problem for the National Socialist Party to form a cabinet in the future. Of course, before that, you must think what the monarch thinks and do what the monarch wishes to do. And this does not conflict with the concept of the National Society, and it fits perfectly.

"Okay, let's do as I say. Next, our party's performance depends on everyone's efforts."
