My Italian: Chapter 174 reckless william
"My Italian (
Negotiations with the Romanian King Carol went very smoothly. Carol invested 32 million lire in a private capacity to obtain a 49% stake in the newly formed Romanian Petroleum Company, while King Carol invested 11 million lei in the name of the royal family (1 lei = 1 lira), the Romanian government invested land, policies and 1800 lei, and the two parties obtained a 51% controlling stake in the new company.
Of course, as Carlos does not control the Romanian Petroleum Company, 65% of the oil and its products produced by the company in the future must be shipped to Italy. Of course, if Italy cannot eat it, it can be brought to the market.
Of course, this condition now seems to be looking for a market for the new Romanian oil company. As for the future, only Romanian people will know that the program is terrible. As for now, Romanians are smiling.
After negotiating with the Romanians about oil development, Carlo then attended the enthronement ceremony of Frederick III, which was nothing to say.
Compared with William I's enthronement in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, the scene of Frederick III's enthronement in his own palace is much smaller.
It is similar to Carlo's enthronement ceremony, but the weight of the guests is heavier. Of course, the oath is done by the crown prince. And others acquiesce to this, after all, it's a bit too much for you to let someone who can't speak.
However, there was still a trace of worry in the lively scene, that is, the state of the new emperor seemed to be a bit bad, although Frederick III was neatly dressed and had heavy makeup on his face, making it difficult for people to see the emperor's state clearly. But close observers can still see the tiredness of the new emperor's eyes.
Except for Carlo, no one would have thought that the new emperor died after only three months. The consensus view from the outside world is that no matter what happens to Frederick III, he can last at least a year and a half.
Other than that, the whole enthronement scene is nothing to watch.
"King Carlo, please wait a moment."
After the enthronement ceremony, when Carlo was about to leave with the crowd, a squire stopped him.
"is there anything?"
In the face of Carlo's inquiry, the attendant gave the reason. "His Royal Highness hopes that King Carlo can wait for a while."
"no problem."
Under the leadership of the attendant, Carlo came to a small meeting room. After the attendant left, Carlo looked at the decoration of the parlor, which seemed to be a little worse than his own parlor full of history.
Without letting Carlodo wait, after a while, William II pushed the door and came in.
"Carlo, I'm so sorry. I've been too busy recently, and I haven't seen you all the time."
The smile on the face of William II, who entered us, did not show that he was trained by the Prime Minister after the funeral of William I. Since William II didn't mention it, he wouldn't ask for trouble to say it.
"It's nothing, I have also experienced this kind of scene. It's completely busy, and I don't have any free time of my own."
Carlo's tone of voice reminded William II that he was also someone who had experienced such a scene.
"I've been too busy to forget this."
After a simple opening remarks, Crown Prince William stated his intention to let Carlo stay. "Carlo, I plan to send a naval delegation to Italy to inspect your country's navy and exchange experience by the way."
"No problem, I'll let the Navy take care of them."
Facing the words of William II, Carlo agreed without hesitation. Every year the German Navy sends people to Italy to communicate, which is not a big deal.
"By the way, who are you going to send?"
Under the ghosts, Carlo suddenly wanted to ask why William II brought it up at this time.
"It's Colonel Tirpitz who communicated with you. This time he will lead the team."
William II's answer made Carlo get serious now. Since the father of the High Seas Fleet is coming, he must let Admiral Gorek receive him well.
Moreover, the words of William II also showed that his desire for a large navy did not give up after being hit by the Prime Minister before, and he began to use roundabout methods.
"By the way, there are also a group of army officers in our country. I hope to come to Germany for further study. It is best to go to the General Staff of your country for an internship."
Karoo is also a master who suffers for no reason. Since we host your navy every year, you should also host our army, and hope to observe the operation of the German Army General Staff up close.
"This is no problem. I believe that Marshal Maoqi will definitely want his colleagues from Italy very much."
Facing Carlo's conditions, William II agreed without hesitation, and did not ask the army's thoughts.
In fact, the German Army has always supported this attitude, allowing talents from all over the world to apply for German military schools, and even serve in the German army for a period of time.
Don't think it's German kindness, it's all about expanding influence.
With the exception of a few island countries or peninsula countries, the armies of all countries basically rely on the army, and those who can come to Germany to study the military are at least talented. I feel kind to Germany.
This is the only way to increase influence, and it is much more solid than other methods.
There is no reason for William II to refuse, even if it is an internship at the General Staff~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is no problem.
The people Carlo wants to send to the German Army for further study are mainly from the Praetorian Guard and the Marine Corps. He hopes to cultivate a group of senior officers who are both loyal to himself and very capable. Can become the core force to control the army in the future.
But this is too far, and now he is busy with the promotion of Italian industry.
"By the way, Carlo, I want to ask, how did you deal with Prime Minister Cairolli after you ascended the throne?"
...
Carlo, who returned to the Sanssi Palace, looked as usual, but his heart was very tired. Because of the question asked by William II, he felt his impulsive and reckless side.
But in the end, he has dealt with it, and now he just wants to go back to his room to rest.
It's just that he dropped the idea after entering the hall, because Foreign Secretary Bakona was waiting for him.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing that Bacona, who was in charge of the negotiation, was waiting for him with a document in his hand, Carlo already had a guess.
"What, finished talking?"
"The talk is almost done, and I feel that this is the bottom line of Germany's requirements."
Carlo took the document from him and flipped through it. After a brief look at the conditions of the Germans, they were exactly the same as before. They all hoped that Italy would be able to open up its colonies. In addition, in terms of ship maintenance and supplies, they could receive the same treatment as Italy.
In the exchange terms given below, the words that the tariffs between the two countries have been raised to 21.5% are very clear.
"Your Majesty, I think this condition is very suitable."
Facing the foreign minister's remarks, Carlo put it in his hand with a snap after reading it.
"In that case, let's agree on this condition. In addition, remind the Germans that the technology we want should not be forgotten."
