My Italy

The bright sunshine shines through the windows, making it look particularly bright. The slight coolness brought by the breeze makes people feel so comfortable, which makes people feel sleepy.

Peng Gang looked at the charming scenery outside the window and was filled with emotion. Who would have thought that a keyboard warrior would turn into a prince? Such a change in identity caught him off guard.

He still remembers that because he was arguing too fiercely with others online, he accidentally shook the water glass, causing a leakage of electricity, and he fell on the keyboard. As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was called His Highness, with a surprised expression.

I still remember learning that I was in the Quirinale Palace in Rome, and that I was inexplicably Prince Carlo who fainted from grief due to the death of his grandfather Emanuele II, the father of the Kingdom of Italy.

After spending the first few days, Peng Gang gradually accepted his identity as a prince. After all, this identity was far different from his previous life, and he was not treated badly at all.

Of course, he also made a lot of jokes because of some of the habits of later generations, but fortunately they were just minor problems. However, he learned his lesson and spent more time watching and learning. For this reason, Peng Gang showed the perseverance before the college entrance examination. , to prevent himself from being discovered as a counterfeit.

The result was pretty good. So far he had been undetected, which gave him nothing but a reputation for taciturnity.

During this time, he also gradually understood the era in which he lived. At present, all European countries are in a state of barbaric growth, and countries are exploiting every opportunity to plunder for their own interests. The same is true among the people, there are all sorts of deceptions and deceptions.

Of course, he got these from the newspapers, not what he saw with his own eyes. Having said that, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was impossible for him to personally understand the public sentiment, so newspapers became his main window to understand this era.

After staying at the window for a while, he felt his body was a little warm. Peng Gang picked up the lemonade with ice and took a sip.

It was wonderful to be able to drink ice water in the early summer of 1880. The corrupt royal life is so intoxicating that one has completely forgotten the idea of ​​being a revolutionary successor for many years.

If Peng Gang is still dissatisfied with this time travel, it must be a matter of time. Because he is not very familiar with the history of this era.

To be more precise, in his previous life, his quarrels with people were either during World War I or World War II, or during the war. At most, they were discussed before World War I, which was basically after 1900. If we push forward, it is basically the Franco-Prussian War. As for what we know about Italy, we only know that it is a lucky country.

For example, from the beginning, Emmanuel II, the king of Sardinia, relied on the help of France to defeat Austria and capture northern Italy. Later, relying on Garibaldi, southern Italy was sent, and at this time Italy finally reached basic unification, and his grandfather Emmanuel II was also declared king of Italy.

Later, he used the Austro-Prussian War to capture Venice, and relied on the Franco-Prussian War to capture the Papal States protected by France, so it is not surprising at all to be called lucky.

There is a saying that the butt determines the head. Peng Gang thinks it is very correct. I remember that in my previous life, I was gnashing my teeth at the evil capitalists, and even ridiculing the mascot-like royal families in Europe. It fully embodies the eloquence of an outstanding revolutionary successor. Although the probability of him wanting to succeed is one in a billion, he is not wrong to say a word about successor.

But now as a prince, he hates those crooked ideas. How can this teach the kind-hearted Italian people.

If the current relationship between the kingdom and the Pope was not on the verge of war, he would even want to ask this spokesperson of the Kingdom of Heaven to preach to the world for a while to cleanse his gradually tainted soul.

Since others cannot be relied upon now, you can only rely on yourself. The great leader once said that you can have enough food and clothing by yourself, and Peng Gang plans to practice it.

To this end, he obtained a lot of information about Italy from his father, Umberto I. After some understanding, he had to admit that it was not easy at all to make Italy love the royal family.

Because Italy currently has the problem of too many people and too little land, many people cannot bear such poverty and go overseas to develop in other countries, and the direction they go to is basically the American continent.

In fact, the more important thing is that Italy is still an agricultural country, and Italy's geographical environment is only suitable for a small farmer economy.

After understanding this, he deeply realized that in order for Italy to develop and grow and for the people to live a good life, industrialization must be developed.

However, if Italy wants to industrialize, it has a very embarrassing problem, and that is the lack of coal and iron mines in the country. In this era, industrialization first requires heavy industry based on coal and iron, and this is Italy's shortcoming.

In fact, the Italian government also knows this and has conducted large-scale geological surveys in the kingdom for this purpose. The results were very touching. Many stones and minerals were discovered, but the most important large-scale coal and iron mines were not found.

Peng Gang's data from later generations also revealed this. At that time, exploration technology was already very advanced, but there were still no large coal and iron mines in Italy.

How to develop heavy industry without coal and iron mines?

Although it can barely pretend to be an industrial country by relying on light industry, it is like a house made of paper that will fall apart as soon as it is poked.

This is also where Peng Gang feels dissatisfied. Although he has a distinguished status as a prince, Italy's chronic problem of insufficient potential gives him a headache.

Although there is currently no better way out for Italy, life still has to go by. His Royal Highness Carlo, who has been corrupted a lot by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism, can no longer live without such a life. Bah, he is really degenerate.

Feeling a little tired from standing, Carlo lay on the calfskin sofa and continued to plan for Italy's future.

In fact, it's not that he has no solution at all. He already has some ideas. For this purpose, he has sent his confidant Domingo to take care of it.

This is Carlo's new confidant, mainly used when it is inconvenient for him. At that time, Carlo saw that the attendant was honest and reliable, and decided to subdue him to do some things for him.

My confidant should be in Prague now. Thinking of this, Carlo felt a little fuzzy, and the too comfortable environment made people want to doze off.

"Crunch!"

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of pushing the door open, followed by a sound that made him feel heartbroken.

"Your Highness, I will clean the room."

Peng Gang knew who was coming without even looking up, because he was so familiar with the voice. It was the maid who cleaned his room.

"Nia, come in."

As he spoke, a youthful girl in her twenties, dressed as a maid, walked in carrying a bucket. Its smaller body is carrying a wooden barrel, which looks so uncoordinated no matter how you look at it.

After the maid came in, Carlo's breathing became obviously faster and thicker. In his heart, he couldn't help scolding himself, he was really worthless, why was he still like this? He had never seen a woman like him.

I remember that the famous philosopher Mr. Wang Jingze proposed a great "true fragrance" theory, and Carlo was obviously a supporter of this theory. Although he did not admit it in his heart, his body supported this theory.

Speaking of which, it’s not his fault. The maid named Nia is petite and cute, with delicate skin and delicate facial features. She doesn’t look like a European maid at all. In addition, the size of the European style has a Japanese maid style, which is very suitable for Ka For Luo, there is some fatal temptation.

"It's so hot out here."

Carlo couldn't help but unbutton the two buttons of his shirt to let the heat dissipate, and at the same time, he drank his glass of ice water in one gulp.

"It's a little too hot in the room. I'll go out for a walk."

After leaving a sentence, Carlo left here as if he was running away, leaving only Nia's innocent eyes.
