My Italy

Chapter 53 The departure of a national hero

Carlo was in a very good mood these days, because he couldn't help but smile when he thought of the embarrassment of the little maid covering her face with saliva because of her kiss. Of course, Carlo had a big bruise on his waist because the client was embarrassed by the little maid's appearance. The unique skill of Nine Yin White Bone Claw is really a girl's specialty, even the little maid knows it without any teacher.

But what makes Carlo happy is besides this, there are also changes in Nia. After winning the bet and experiencing a failed kiss, the relationship between Carlo and the maid developed rapidly. Now Carlo can hold the hand of the maid, and can occasionally be held by it. How can Carlo not let Carlo do this? Luo was happy.

So after the New Year, Carlo spent less time visiting, and often took his maid with him to experience the two of them. Of course, this allowed Carlo to experience kissing again, but this time he didn't get confused again. The saliva is the beginning of letting the little maid feel the fun of it (it has come to an end now, if you continue writing, you will be noticed by river crabs).

Of course, the happy time is always so short-lived, and soon Carlo needs to prepare for a visit to Germany. In fact, since the arrival of the New Year, the government has begun to prepare for a visit to Germany. The Italian government needs to consult with Germany on the planning of the route, which people and cities to visit, and what activities need to be participated. For this reason, Foreign Minister Bacona has been running to the Prime Minister's Office almost every day, and gossip has almost spread.

However, it is very clear within the government that the top priority within the government for more than a month has been the visit to Germany. The itinerary and visit matters have been initially planned, and the next step is to show it to the Prime Minister and Carlo.

"Yes, let's arrange the itinerary this way."

In the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Despretis agreed to implement the itinerary after reading it.

Although there are no problems on the Prime Minister's side, there are some problems on Carlo's side.

"Why is it that the agenda is mostly about communicating with Crown Prince Frederick?"

The official who arranged the itinerary faced Carlo's question and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the Kaiser is too old and is not suitable for working too much, so after discussing with Germany, the Crown Prince will do it for him."

"I understand this, but you need to consider the ages of Crown Prince Frederick and I. If there is to be communication between the royal family, it is best if they are of the same age. The eldest grandson of Emperor William is very suitable. The age gap between us is much smaller."

That's right, Carlo's purpose was to replace the communicating crown prince with the future emperor's eldest grandson, William II.

Facing Carlo's words, the official spoke with some embarrassment. "This requires renegotiation with the German side."

"Then let's renegotiate. I believe Germany will meet my small request."

It was clear that Carlo had no regard for the official's feelings. Although he knew it would increase his workload, the official was ignored at the thought of preemptively establishing a relationship with Wilhelm II.

Faced with Carlo's insistence, the official was obviously defeated and could only do what he wanted, but he still needed to report the matter to his superiors beforehand.

"Since the king wants to communicate with his peers, let's do what he wants."

Now Prime Minister Depretis has a lot of things to do and has no time to pay attention to such a small issue.

The news from the Prime Minister's Office allowed Carlo's request to be met.

However, while the government was busy preparing for the visit to Germany, news came from Caprera Island that Mr. Garibaldi had died of illness.

This news shocked Italy. This man is the idol of many people in Italy.

Therefore, the news about Garibaldi's death was reported in bold headlines on the front pages of major newspapers, which immediately caused a sensation.

This man is not only famous in Europe, but also very famous in South America. You must know that the red shirt army formed by Garibaldi was originally in South America.

Therefore, in addition to Europe, South America also reported extensively on this Italian national hero.

Of course, no matter how much they do abroad, they will never be as sensational as those in Italy.

The day after Garibaldi's death, Prime Minister Despretis and King Carlo stated in Rome that they would hold a state funeral for the national hero and personally carry his coffin.

After the Prime Minister and the King spoke, various figures spoke out for a while, urging them to contribute to Mr. Garibaldi's death.

If you compare the treatment of national heroes in front of them, it is simply a world of difference. During his lifetime, Garibaldi only had a high reputation among the people, but the government avoided him like a snake or a scorpion.

But now that Garibaldi has passed away, the government immediately discovered that Garibaldi was good and wanted to join in the fun.

So it is ridiculous to say that living national heroes are like poison, and they are valuable only when they are dead.

Of course, for Carlo, Garibaldi's death was more about the death of a respected old man.

Of course, he was still a little angry. It wasn't until Garibaldi's death that he received the news that someone had neglected his duty.

"Tell me, why didn't you get the news before?"

Carlo looked at the captain of the guard in front of him, asked a question, and then sat back. The obstruction above made Carlo disappear into the darkness, which put great pressure on the Baron.

"His Majesty……"

The captain of the guard knew that he had made a mistake, but after thinking about it, he still told the truth. Sometimes it is not terrible to make a mistake, but if you try to cover it up, it will cause more serious consequences. It is obvious that the captain of the guard is the executor of this theory.

So from the mouth of the captain of the guard, Carlo learned about Garibaldi's life situation at this stage.

After Carlo took over the red shirts, the disappointed Garibaldi returned to his home island of Caprera.

However, when he came back this time, Garibaldi's health was obviously not as good as before, so his old friend Cosentz went to the island with him.

Nothing happened at first. Garibaldi and his friends lived a leisurely life every day.

But one time, Garibaldi fell at home. At first the national hero felt fine, but then things got worse. However, at this time, Cosentz and Garibaldi's family members concealed the news. It is said that this was Garibaldi's intention. He did not want to disturb other people for his own reasons. He just hired a doctor he trusted to treat him, but the national hero, who was already over 70 years old, ultimately failed to survive and passed away in early 1882 at the age of 75.

When the captain of the guard told him the reason, Carlo couldn't help but praise him. This man really deserves to be called a hero.

"I'll make a note of it this time, so if there is a next time then you know what to do."

Carlo raised it high and put it down with a kiss, which was considered to have revealed the matter.

A week later, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Rome to see this national hero on his last journey. Carlo and the Prime Minister also fulfilled their promises and personally carried Garibaldi's coffin.

The national hero will then be buried in Sardinia in accordance with his wishes.

With the death of Garibaldi, it represents the departure of that magnificent era of unification. As the old era leaves, a new era is about to begin. As for the future direction of Italy, that is what Carlo and Prime Minister Depretis need to consider.
