Chapter 53: The departure of a national hero

Carlo has been in a very good mood these past few days, because he couldn't help but smile when he thought of the embarrassment of the little maid's drooling face because of the kiss. Of course, for the party who made the little maid appear embarrassed, Carlo's waist was blue. The unique skill of Jiuyin White Bone Claw is really a girl's specialty, and even the little maid is not taught by herself.

But to make Carlo happy, in addition to this, there is also the change in Nia. After winning the bet and experiencing a failed kiss, the relationship between Carlo and the little maid developed rapidly. Now Carlo can hold the hand of the little maid, and can be held once in a while. Lo was happy.

So after the New Year, Carlo's visit time was reduced, and he often took the little maid to experience the time between the two of them. Of course, this made Carlo feel another kiss, but this time he didn't make a face. The saliva is a preliminary to let the little maid feel the fun in it (for now, it has come to an end, and if I continue to write, I will be concerned by the crab).

Of course happy times are always short, 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 the visit to Germany. The planning of the route, the people and cities to visit, and what activities to take part in, the Italian government needs to negotiate with Germany. For this reason, Foreign Minister Bakona is running to the Prime Minister's Office almost every day, and gossip is about to spread.

However, the inside of the government is very clear that the number one event within the government for more than a month is the visit to Germany. The journey and the visit have been initially planned, and the next step is to show it to the Prime Minister and Carlo.

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

In the Prime Minister's Palace, Prime Minister Depretis agreed to implement the itinerary after seeing the itinerary.

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

"Why is there basically communication with Crown Prince Frederick in the schedule?"

The official arranging the itinerary, facing Carlo's question, immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the Kaiser is too old to be suitable for too much work, so after we negotiate with Germany, the crown prince will do the work."

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

That's right, Carlo's purpose was to replace the crown prince of the exchange with the future Wilhelm II, the eldest grandson.

Facing Carlo's words, the official said with some embarrassment. "This needs to be renegotiated with the German side."

"Then go to renegotiation. I believe the German side will meet my small request."

Obviously, Carlo did not take into account the feelings of the official, although he knew that this would increase his workload, but thinking of establishing a relationship with William II, the official was directly ignored.

Facing Carlo's insistence, the official was obviously defeated and could only do what he wanted, but he still needed to report the matter to the top.

"Since the king wants to communicate with his peers, let him do as he wishes."

Now that Prime Minister Depretis has a lot of things to do, he has no time to pay attention to such small issues.

The news from the Prime Minister's Office made Carlo's request satisfied.

However, when the government was busy with the visit to Germany, there was news from Caprera that Mr. Garibaldi died of illness.

This news shocked Italy up and down. This is the idol of many people in Italy.

Therefore, the news about Garibaldi's death was reported in bold on the front page 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 Garibaldi's red shirt army was originally in South America.

So in addition to Europe, South America also reported the Italian national hero.

Of course, no matter what you do abroad, there will be no domestic sensation in Italy.

On the day after Garibaldi died, Prime Minister Depretis and King Carlo stated in Rome that they would hold a state funeral for the national hero and carry his coffin in person.

After the Prime Minister and the King spoke, various figures spoke up one after another, strongly requesting to contribute to Mr. Garibaldi's death.

If you compare the treatment in front of the national heroes, it is simply a world of difference. Before his death, Garibaldi only had a lofty reputation among the people, but the government could not avoid it like a snake and a scorpion.

But now that Garibaldi passed away, the government immediately found out that Garibaldi was good, and they all wanted to join in the fun.

So it's ridiculous to say that living national heroes are like poison, and only when they die can they be considered valuable.

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

Of course he was still angry, and Garibaldi didn't get the news until he died that someone was dereliction of 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 shield above made Carlo seem to be hiding in the dark, putting a lot of pressure on His Excellency the Baron.

"Your Majesty..."

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

So in the mouth of the chief guard, Carlo learned about Garibaldi's life at this stage.

After Carlo took over the red shirts, a disappointed Garibaldi returned to the island of Caprera, where he lived.

But this time, Garibaldi's body is obviously not as good as before, so his old friend Cosenz went to the island with him.

In the beginning, everything was fine. Garibaldi and his friend lived a leisurely life every day.

But once, Garibaldi fell at home, the national hero felt okay at first, but then it got worse. However, at this time, Cosenz and Garibaldi's family concealed the news. It is said that this is what Garibaldi meant, and he did not want to disturb others for his own reasons. He just hired a doctor he could trust to treat him, but the national hero, who was in his seventies, failed to survive in the end. He passed away in early 1882 at the age of 75.

When the captain of the bodyguard said the reason, Carlo couldn't help but admire, this man truly deserves the title of a hero.

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

Carlo raised it high and put it down kissingly, as if to expose the matter.

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

The national hero will then be buried in Sardinia according to his last wishes.

And with the death of Garibaldi, it represents the departure of that magnificent era of unification. The old era is gone, and a new era is about to begin. As for the future direction of Italy, that is what Prime Minister Carlo and De Pretis need to consider.
