My Italy

Chapter 20 The Prime Minister’s Reflections

Carlo was very surprised by Feli Mickey's words.

Feli Mickey showed a very understanding expression of surprise when facing Carlo. He was not much better than Carlo when he got the news. Because this news is a sudden storm for the current Roman political circle.

"Is the news reliable?"

"reliable."

Carlo pondered after hearing Filmicchi's answer. If this is the case, it is not what he and many people want to see.

"Is it impossible to change anymore?"

"It should be impossible to change. According to the intelligence, Femilet and Earl Berwick visited these two people last night. After that, the two people agreed to stop all actions against each other."

Carlo knew both of them. Fermilet was a famous Italian capitalist. The shipping company he founded accounted for 10% of Italy's shipping, which shows his weight. In addition, he also opened the largest textile factory in Italy in Milan, with 1,800 workers. If there were a rich list, Mr. Femilet would be in the top three.

As for the Earl of Berwick, this person is not as rich as Femilet, but he owns a considerable piece of land in southern Italy, and he also has great influence in the local area.

The reason for all this is that Earl of Berwick was an important minister of the country during the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. When Italy was unified, in order to reduce resistance from local areas, the nobles of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies were mainly attracted.

Although this accelerated the pace of Italian unification, it also left many problems.

But before that, Carlo had met the two gentlemen before, and he still remembered how they looked when they met his father. Unexpectedly, after the temporary loss of royal power, they quickly adapted and each found a new position. Of course, Carlo didn't want to blame them. Who caused the current royal power to be temporarily lost. They would only follow the footsteps of power.

However, this news was not very good for him.

Thinking of this, Carlo couldn't help but ask. "Do you know what agreement they reached?"

"This is unclear, because no outsiders were present when they were discussing, and our spies couldn't get in at all."

Felici's words reminded Carlo of a very important question, and he asked it directly. "How many people know this news now?"

"The people who know now should be limited to a few people, but in two days the two will appear together in a meeting, and then everyone will know."

"Two days...two days..."

Carlo thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't think of any good way to achieve a favorable situation for himself in the past two days.

In the final analysis, it is still because of your age. It is difficult to gain the trust of others at the age of fifteen or sixteen, unless the other party understands you well enough. Speaking of understanding, Carlo couldn't help but think of Mr. Cosentz, the Garibaldi envoy.

"Maybe I should write another letter to Garibaldi."

While Carlo was lamenting that the storm had subsided, some people were also blaming themselves.

In the Prime Minister's Office, everyone is doing their own thing carefully and quietly. Such a busy and quiet scene is extremely weird, but there is a reason for all this, and the reason is very simple. The owner of this house needs to be quiet. .

In the Prime Minister's Office, Cairoli sat quietly on the sofa and meditated quietly. There was no other sound in the room except the sound of the pendulum.

"Wow"

The match lit the pipe, and the smoke in the pipe covered Cairoli's uncertain face. After a long time, he sighed.

"It was a bit extreme before."

Yes, Cairoli now regrets some of his previous actions. After the regent left him alone, he suddenly found that he was the most powerful person in Italy. Faced with the huge power he suddenly gained, he was lost. He regarded himself as the master of Italy, and this move brought him many benefits and consequences.

The good thing is that he is in the government now and he says the same thing, but the bad thing is that he has added many enemies to himself. Of course, there are only a few people such as former Prime Minister Despretis on the surface, but he believes that just like the icebergs on the sea, there are more hidden.

Fortunately, he realized it in time, otherwise what would have happened once the fight between him and Despretis broke out in public.

As for Femilet and Berrick, they just happened to meet each other. How could he choose to reconcile because of the persuasion of these two people? It was just his inner vigilance warning himself.

And he locked himself up alone just to reflect on his previous actions.

After sorting out all his actions, Cairoli put down his pipe. He already had an idea. He rang the bell, and Secretary Doss, who had been waiting outside, immediately opened the door and came in.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what's the matter?"

Looking at the uneasy secretary standing in front of him, Cairoli smiled. "What's wrong Doss, am I scary?"

With Cairoli's words, Doss felt that the familiar Prime Minister was back.

"No, my lord has always been nice."

"Well, I had some different ideas before, so I was a little harsh on you. Don't be surprised."

Hearing the Prime Minister's apology to him, Doss felt that the Prime Minister he was familiar with was really back, which made Doss a little excited.

"Go and prepare for the meeting. I'm going to call the other ministers together for a meeting."

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister."

The sudden meeting did not make the other ministers busy at all. For them, the meeting was part of their work, so they rushed over quickly after receiving the notice from the Prime Minister's Office.

After everyone was due, Cairoli arrived as promised.

"Okay, let's have a meeting next."

In this unimportant parliament, everyone discovered that the Prime Minister had changed and returned to the Prime Minister they were familiar with. Both his speech, behavior and attitude were back to what they were before.

This unexpected parliament was an unusual success. No one expected the change of the prime minister. Both confidants and potential dissidents needed time to face this new situation, so this meeting was unusually successful. smoothly.

After the meeting was over, Cairoli sat in the main seat to rest.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, everyone else in this meeting was dumbfounded."

After sending everyone else away, Secretary Dossing hurriedly walked in and talked about today's performance.

"Okay, stop talking."

Cairoli stood up, "We still have a lot to do next."

Speaking of this, Cairoli thought of Carlo. He was confident of controlling these fellow ministers. As for His Majesty, I believe that after expressing goodwill and showing respect, the young monarch will change his mind.
