My Italian: Chapter 461 dark tide
After the request for food reserves was forcibly suppressed by the Prime Minister and the king, the government departments began to operate. Of course, the preliminary work required a lot of preparation. After all, a new department needed to be established to manage the food reserves.
Moreover, such a large amount of grain reserves also tests the capabilities of the new department. First of all, it is the choice of site. According to the actual situation in Italy, the government found that the six to seven large grain reserves that it had considered before may not be suitable, so a After some consideration, the government added three more medium-sized grain reserves.
Of course, the location of the grain reserve is very important. Firstly, it needs to have convenient transportation, secondly, the location should be wide, and then it should be close to the water source. In addition to site selection, the grain storage system also needs to be fully considered. First, fire prevention and theft prevention considerations. In addition, daily inspections, transportation, renovation, etc. need to be carefully considered. After all, a grain depot is at least tens of millions of lire worth of grain, and if it suffers a loss, it will be troublesome.
For this reason, the government certainly did not dare to slack off, and devoted itself to the matter of food reserves. Even Prime Minister Antonio was not busy during this period of time.
Rome is brightly lit at night, and the application of electricity in the second industrial revolution has already blossomed everywhere in Italy.
The prime minister, who had been busy all day, returned home in his own carriage under the **** of the guards.
Antonio is currently living at No. 11 Nong Pumele Avenue, which is the most famous residence in Rome. It is not far from the Prime Minister's Palace and the Royal Palace, and it only takes more than 20 minutes to take a carriage.
"My lord, we have a visitor."
Antonio, who had just got off the carriage, heard the butler's report.
"Who is visiting?"
"It's Senator Sarandra."
"How did he come back?"
Of course, Antonio knew this Salandra MP, and he was considered a figure in the parliament. He has intersected with many people, and can be ranked fourth or fifth in the parliament. And Antonio has met him on several occasions, let alone close acquaintance.
The butler who was familiar with his lord's temperament immediately understood what he meant. "The Senator Salandra said that there is a very important matter that needs to be met with you, my lord, so I can only ask him to wait in the living room."
The butler's approach is very safe. After all, he came to visit and claimed to have an important meeting, so it is impossible to leave the other party outside the door.
Antonio cheered up and put on a smiling face, and walked into the living room.
"Mr Sarandra, I've kept you waiting."
Seeing His Excellency the Prime Minister coming in, the MP Salandra put down his teacup and said. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I hope you don't mind the interruption this time."
"How could it be? Your Excellency must have something to tell you if you are so eager to see me."
After Antonio finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, while blowing gently, while looking at the visiting Senator Sarandra, his intention was self-evident.
Faced with Prime Minister Antonio's attitude, Senator Sarandra, who already had something to do, didn't hide it, and said directly, "Prime Minister, I have a very important news to tell you this time."
This is because Councilor Salandra's words displeased Antonio, and he said to himself when he had something to say, and this kind of cryptic gesture dissatisfied him. So he picked up the teacup and blew on the hot tea, took a sip and said. "Oh, you say."
Senator Sarandra saw the prime minister's performance, and a surge of anger surged in his heart, but he suppressed it again.
"Prime Minister, I have received news that His Majesty the King has the idea of supporting the right-wing party in the general election. Especially the National Socialist National Party, which has developed well in recent years, I heard that there is also a shadow of the royal family behind it."
"Member Salandra, criticizing the monarch behind his back is not something a qualified member of parliament should do."
At this moment, the Prime Minister became very disgusted with this Congressman Sarandra. Does this guy know what he is talking about? Criticize the monarch in front of him, is this treating him as a fool? Moreover, his provocative language is too bad. Do you really think he is a politician who only knows how to fight partisanship and waste?
Facing Antonio's anger, this Salandra had a serious expression on his face. He looked at the Prime Minister calmly, but continued to speak arrogant words.
"Prime Minister, don't be angry, how can I be criticized, this is just free speech. This is not the Middle Ages, and I can't go to the stake, which is much better than those lawless anarchists."
"If you only have these remarks, then I think I have heard enough, and you can go back."
It is obvious that Antonio has not done enough in self-cultivation and self-cultivation in recent years, so he no longer wants to continue talking with this arrogant Congressman Salandra.
"Well, the prime minister seems to be angry with me, so I'll leave now. But before I leave, I still want to say that this is not a rumor but a fact. Our respected majesty really wants to change the prime minister. gone."
"Okay, Senator Salandra, thank you for the unpleasant news. I'm busy, so I won't compensate you."
Luckily, Antonio maintained a little sanity, and didn't even lose the basic etiquette for seeing off guests. It is believed that he will not want to see this Congressman Salandra again in the next time.
As for the Senator Salandra, after being kicked out of the prime minister's house, he could only leave in his own carriage.
"How did the talk go?"
In the box of the carriage, apart from the Senator Salandra who was kicked out in despair, there was another person sitting opposite him. At this time, Senator Salandra didn't look a bit depressed. Instead, he picked up the expensive cigar from Cuba, smoked it, and looked at him.
"It's not bad. The Prime Minister listened to my information carefully. According to my observation, he should have listened to it. By the way, how are your preparations going?"
Facing Salandra's words, the figure hiding in the shadows spoke. "We are preparing for it. We have contacted many people so far, and it will definitely surprise everyone when the time comes."
"That's good, if you need anything, you can contact me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask for your help." Having said that, the person sighed. "Actually, our majesty is really wise and powerful, and has gained a lot of benefits for Italy. If he didn't want to take our power, I believe that we can live in peace. Now we can only hope that the strength we show will make that majesty retreat. Right. Actually, I’m not optimistic about this, what should we do then?”
"Don't ask, you know it very well."
The conspiracy on the carriage continued, and on the Prime Minister's side, after driving away the Salandra MP, Antonio came to the study alone after having dinner with his family as usual.
"My lord, I didn't know that Councilor Sarandra would be so rude."
In the study~www.mtlnovel.com~ the housekeeper admitted this mistake.
"I don't blame you. This matter is aimed at me. These powerful people in these places really think highly of me. It's wishful thinking that they want me to help them out of the fire."
"My lord, I know what to do next, and I won't let it happen again."
After the butler left, Antonio showed a thoughtful expression. That's right, he knew the other party's identity from the moment that Congressman Salandra spoke. These local power figures are really crazy. In order to protect their power from being taken away, they actually want to negotiate terms with him.
How is this possible? You must know that he is also the main promoter of changing the region into a province. This kind of behavior that can increase the power of Rome is something that no national political party would like to see.
These local forces still want to rely on the power in their hands to resist the orders of the central government, so don't even think about it.
But for some reason, a sentence from that annoying Congressman Sarandra came to his mind again. Does the king really want to replace himself and let a right-wing party rule?
