My Italian: Chapter 31 Secret meeting

"You mean, the Prime Minister has another plan?"

"Yes, this was said by the Prime Minister himself, and many people were present at the time."

In the palace, Carlo was listening to the chief of guards telling about what just happened in the prime minister's palace.

Of course, he was against the French invasion of Tunisia. The consequences for Italy are very serious. It can be said that France's behavior this time directly caused Italy to fall to Germany and Austria.

Of course, this is for the public, but for private, this matter is very beneficial to him. Not to mention, because of the Tunisian issue, many people with good intentions are showing goodwill to him. Of course, taking refuge is not counted, but it is just to leave a way out for himself. What is even more gratifying is that the biggest opposition at present, former Prime Minister De Pretis, has expressed his goodwill.

He proposed in the parliament that the electrical research center in Marino is of great significance to Italy, so he hopes that the government will allocate funds to support the research work of the research center.

Although this proposal was not passed, the meaning expressed by this move is that Carlo has already received it. Of course, this does not mean that De Pretis wants to move closer to Carlo, but his actions also show that at least Carlo has become an existence that cannot be ignored in the Italian political circle.

Of course, among them, Duke Amedeo, the regent, also made great efforts. Because of its excellent performance, many people find that if they want to befriend the royal family, it is more reliable to be a young monarch, at least he doesn't have to worry about dying on a woman's belly.

And after their observation for nearly a year, His Majesty Carlo has a very fast political learning ability, and his reputation is also quite good. With some extra points, naturally, he has won a group of young officials. These people are mainly Do it with an eye toward the future rather than the present.

No matter what purpose they have, this is a good thing for Carlo.

Since you have become a member of a political force, you must follow the rules of the game. Therefore, the dramas of those in the East of punishing officials and returning power will not work in Europe.

But God is helping him to let the Prime Minister meet the French invasion of Tunisia. Of course, Carlo is also unwilling to let Italy suffer losses. If nothing else, Tunisia is too important to Italy.

But after carefully considering the gap between the two countries, Carlo has to think that he has nothing good to do about it. I can't beat it and I can't find anyone to help me. What to fight for, just relying on slogans will not make France obediently spit out the meat in its mouth.

So he was a little surprised when he heard that the Prime Minister still had a way to do it. What else could the Prime Minister do to reverse all this?

Of course, Carlo is not an arrogant person. If he can't think of a way, it doesn't mean that others can't think of it. It's just that some things must be prevented in case, so he still needs to make some preparations.

I saw that Carlo thought about it and said it after listening to the captain of the bodyguard. "You arrange for someone you trust enough to contact Lord Depretis and tell him that you want to talk to him."

That's right, Carlo had contact with Depretis. When the experimental center opened, he felt the goodwill of the former prime minister. Although he did not make any indication, it did not mean that he was unwilling to contact each other, but Treat with caution.

Carlo knows that he has a natural advantage as the monarch of Italy. Although he has no power for a while, he has a bright future, so his every move needs special attention.

But now, he thinks he needs to do some preparation. Of course, Carlo is not trying to hold back, and it is impossible for him to do things that are unfavorable to Italy. But in the case of irreversible situations, prepare for some aftermath.

Of course, the specific situation still needs to wait until after talking with the former prime minister before he can make a decision.

"As ordered, Your Majesty."

During this period of time, the former prime minister had a very good life, especially after the French invasion of Tunisia, the number of people who came to visit increased day by day. Therefore, even his old housekeeper has risen, making him seem to have returned to the moment when his master was the prime minister, and the whole person was a few years younger.

But today, the old butler was in a hurry. After nodding to the guests who were talking, he walked over to Depretis and whispered a few words in his ear.

Then Depretis stood up and said apologetically.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry, I have something to delay. Let's go here today."

"Where, this is our time to delay Your Excellency."

Facing the apology of this big man, how could anyone really understand the wink? Everyone immediately said goodbye to the master and left one by one.

After all these people had left, Depretis was led by the old butler to the study.

"You are guarding outside."

Depretis, who walked to the door, immediately gave an order.

"Okay, sir."

After the old housekeeper answered, he stood quietly at the door.

As soon as Depretis opened the door, he immediately put on a smile. "Baron Filimic, long time no see."

That's right, the person in his study is His Excellency the Chief Guard. In the case of confidentiality, there is nothing better than coming here in person.

"Mr. Depretis, long time no see."

Facing the former prime minister's greeting, the captain of the guard also replied.

"I am very honored to be able to visit your Excellency the Chief of Guards this time~www.mtlnovel.com~ Facing the former Prime Minister's inquiry, Felipe Mitch immediately stated his purpose for coming here." Mr. Depretis He has made great contributions to Italy during his tenure as Prime Minister. His Majesty admires it very much and has always wanted to have a good conversation with Your Excellency. "

The baron's words made Depretis laugh. "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would be so favored by His Majesty. Since His Majesty wants to be summoned, I naturally can't ask for it."

The young monarch wants to see himself, which is very good news for Depretis, of course he will not ignore the role of the royal family. This series of courtships is evidence of his attempts to engage with the royal family ever since he wanted to regain his prime ministership. But this time the chief of the bodyguard came to invite him personally, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, Baron Filimic continued after hearing that he was willing to meet the king. "Since Your Excellency is willing, let's discuss the place to meet."

"no problem."

Is this meeting place also negotiable?

Yes, that's right, it just needs to be discussed, because the meeting place is not in the palace. There are many people in the palace, and it is not a suitable place. Especially in this sensitive time, it is even more inappropriate.

Obviously, Depretis, the former prime minister, also knows this, so he agrees with the captain of the bodyguard.

For the meeting place. The time, and the entourage, the two talked for another half an hour, and then the head guard quietly left under the leadership of the old housekeeper.

A few days later, Carlo once again went to the Electrical Research Center in Marino. It's just that compared to the previous few times, he set off half an hour earlier, but the arrival time was delayed by half an hour.

The reason given was that the carriage was broken and needed to be repaired, but no one would pay attention to this detail.
