My Italy

Not to mention Carlo starting a new business and building his own electrical research and development center.

If you want to ask who is the most proud in Rome at the moment, it has to be Prime Minister Cairoli. The prime minister's experience can be considered a bumpy one. In his early years, he participated in the Italian independence movement with his four brothers. He was the only one who survived to see the unification of Italy.

In addition, Cairoli participated in Garibaldi's Thousand Man Expedition and later made military exploits in the battle to capture Palermo.

But later he parted ways with Garibaldi. He participated in the parliamentary election, successfully became a parliamentarian, and served as prime minister for a period of time, but resigned because he failed to win back South Tyrol.

This is his second time as prime minister, but this time he is lucky. After only one year as prime minister, the king died due to an assassination. Amedeo, the regent who represented the royal family, had a reputation for being a romantic person. In less than three months, his reputation spread throughout Rome. As long as he was in politics No one with a burden would place their hopes on the regent.

As for the other speaker, His Excellency, it is not worth mentioning.

So now, Prime Minister Cairoli is considered the most powerful person in Italy. In this case, the Prime Minister's Office where he is located naturally has many people trying to share some power. This also caused traffic jams in front of the Prime Minister's Office, and a large number of people who wanted to see him queued from the door to Caesar Square.

However, there are not many people who want to be seen by the Prime Minister, so even those who can get an interview with him attract attention. There are even rumors that the Prime Minister is harder to see than the King.

Cairoli doesn't care about this. He doesn't care what the outside world says about him, because he has more important things to do.

In the room, Cairoli was busy checking the work at hand. The beautifully decorated alarm clock in one corner was ticking and turning its hands, making the quiet Prime Minister's room look a little special.

After reading a document, Cairoli pressed the alarm, and someone came over immediately.

"Doss, have someone return this document to the transportation department and tell them that the railway project from Palermo to Messina needs to be redone. What are they doing? A short 240 kilometers of railway line actually costs 4,000 Wanlila, do they think the government has too much money?”

Seeing the furious Prime Minister, Doss, as his secretary, was so angry that he did not dare to speak out. He quickly took the returned document and had it sent to the Public Works Department.

After seeing his secretary go out, Cairoli rubbed his swollen temples to calm down the anger in his heart. At present, he is experiencing the pleasure of monopolizing power, and naturally he is also enjoying the pain.

Currently, he has to make decisions on everything big and small. The huge workload has made his temper worse and worse, and he gets angry and scolds people at every turn. This makes the staff in the Prime Minister's Office cautious.

But although the Prime Minister's temper is getting worse, no one wants to leave because of it. The Prime Minister's Office is already a high and powerful position, but if you just say that you work in the Prime Minister's Office, everyone will look up to you. Even the ministers have been very kind to them recently. Only a fool would give up his future because of such a trivial matter.

After Cairoli was busy for a while, he felt a little lack of energy, so he rang the alarm bell and called his secretary.

"Doss, get me a cup of coffee."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After taking in the sweet and bitter coffee, Cairoli felt much better.

However, he did not continue working, but sat on the sofa to take a rest. As his secretary, Doss, of course, stood aside and waited for his orders at any time.

"By the way, Doss, how many people I invited to the party tonight have agreed?"

Cairoli was drinking coffee and casually asked about other things.

Although Cairoli asked casually, Doss paid considerable attention.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, most of the guests on the list have agreed to attend on time. Only Secretary of Commerce and Trade Gulitus and Minister of Agriculture Mark Ryder declined politely because they were not feeling well. In addition, Mr. Despretis He refused directly because he didn’t want to participate.”

Doss's words caused Cairoli, who was drinking coffee, to pause. The Prime Minister's secretary felt something and immediately held his breath. For a moment the only sound in the room was the ticking of the pendulum.

It seemed like a long time passed before His Excellency the Prime Minister put down his coffee and said something after a long time.

"If Depretis doesn't want to participate, then he won't participate."

As a secretary, Doss did not dare to answer the Prime Minister's words.

These two are both big guys, and if they are not careful, they will destroy this little shrimp like him.

It’s a long story to say that Depretis, who even the Prime Minister has nothing to do with him, can do anything to anyone.

His full name is Agostino Depretis and he graduated from law school in Pavia. He once worked as a journalist, supported Mazzini's republican ideas in his early years, and joined the Young Italy Party.

However, in 1848, he was elected as a member of the Piedmont Parliament, gave up his republican views, and began to publish "Justice" to promote the idea of ​​a constitutional monarch.

In 1859, he was appointed governor of Resia.

In 1860, he went to Sicily to assist Garibaldi in his work. He dealt with Crispi democrats and Cavour liberals, tried his best to implement the Cavour route, and promoted the merger of Sicily and the Kingdom of Piedmont (Picairoli was much better).

He participated in the cabinet twice in 1862 and 1866, serving as Minister of Public Works, Minister of the Navy and Minister of Finance.

Since 1873, he has become a left-wing leader representing the interests of the financial, industrial, bourgeoisie and large landowners.

Moreover, Depretis has served as prime minister for two terms and is Cairoli's biggest competitor.

It can be said that heretics are more hateful than heretics.

In addition, I would like to say that most of the currently active politicians in Italy have participated in Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily. Logically speaking, they should all be considered comrades-in-arms, but power is too tempting, and even the love of comrades-in-arms cannot resist the temptation.

Prime Minister Cairoli stopped talking and just drank the coffee in front of him quietly.

However, as secretary Doss, he felt that the current prime minister was very scary, but his duties as secretary told him that he must continue to wait.

After finally finishing the coffee, Cairoli suddenly asked Doss who was cleaning up.

"By the way, how is our Majesty doing now?"

Faced with the inquiry, Doss cleared the table again and again while answering. "Currently, apart from attending classes, His Majesty is busy working on the experimental center built by Marino."

"I heard that this experimental center will cost 20 million lire and will support 300 people in scientific research and development after it is completed."

"Very well, it would be nice to let His Majesty find something to do."

After Cairoli finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. "The royal family is really rich!"
