My Italy

The successful development of the light machine gun and the launch of the dreadnought made Carlo feel much better during this inspection. He then continued to inspect several major northern industrial cities such as Milan, Turin, and Genoa, and the results were not bad.

The development of these cities is very smooth. For example, the steel and shipbuilding industries in Genoa, the military industry and automobile manufacturing industry in Turin, and the textile and steel industries in Milan are all developing very well. With these industries, these cities have attracted many upstream and downstream related industries to develop here.

In general, these northern cities did not need much attention from Rome, and they would live well and nourish themselves. Carlo is also quite satisfied with this. Next, the government's focus needs to shift to the south. After all, the gap between the north and the south cannot be widened, otherwise it will cause social divisions and be detrimental to the overall stability and harmony of Italy.

But when Carlo just returned to Rome, a piece of news disrupted his good mood.

“Did the right-wing party win the parliamentary election?”

After hearing this shocking news, even Carlo wanted to ask one more question to make sure. You must know that since the unification of Italy, except for the right-wing parties in the first five years (1871-1876), since then the left-wing parties have been in power, and they have firmly controlled the Parliament until now. After all, parliament nominally chooses the candidate for prime minister, and then the king approves it.

Therefore, the results of this parliamentary election are very delicate, which has brought the partisan struggle that has been hidden to the surface again. Although legally, the king has the power to decide who to nominate to form the cabinet (in the event of an emergency, the king can appoint directly). However, this power cannot be used casually, because it will cause dissatisfaction among domestic parties, so it can only be used with caution.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the message from yesterday. Your Majesty was still on the train at that time, so he did not send you the message."

Facing the captain of the guard's answer, Carlo thought for a while. "Go back first."

For Carlo, it’s time to figure out the specific situation. As for the king's return to Rome, all parties received the news immediately. At this time, due to Carlo's return, the party struggle that was a little ready to start was temporarily suppressed.

Even the National Socialist Party, which won a resounding victory in this election, is still waiting for something, or expecting something.

After Carlo returned to the palace, he immediately read the information and finally understood what the victory of the right-wing party was about.

This parliamentary election was less a defeat for the left parties than a victory for the National Socialists. Yes, it was the victory of the National Socialist Party. Because in this parliamentary election, the National Socialist Party received 86 votes, much higher than the left-wing parties, becoming the largest party in the parliament. If the 73 votes of other right-wing parties are added, then the right-wing party won a total of 160 seats among the 297 members of the parliament, surpassing the left-wing party's 137 votes in one fell swoop, allowing the right-wing party to take power again after 27 years. parliament.

Although the parliament in charge is more like an eraser, it is a huge boost for the right-wing parties to inspire and cheer up.

"How did the National Socialist Party become the largest party so quickly? What is going on?"

Carlo felt a little strange when he was looking through the intelligence. He asked the intelligence chief to inquire and learned some details.

It turns out that the National Socialist Party was able to win the election this time because it had the right time, place and people.

There are also Carlo's own reasons, which is a bit embarrassing. Because Carlo and the Roman government wanted to take back power and summon the National Socialist Party into the cabinet to promote the bill to convert regions into provinces, and the National Socialist Party did an excellent job. This has greatly improved the views of many people on the Socialist Party in many countries. I think they are a party that is bold and energetic in doing things.

Don’t underestimate this change, it can bring a lot of popularity to the political party.

In addition, left-wing parties are also dissatisfied because Prime Minister Antonio has brought the far-right National Socialist Party into the cabinet, especially the alliance composed of radical far-left figures. Even if Antonio explains this, he still cannot gain the understanding of these radical far-leftists. Out of revenge, the far-left alliance chose to cause trouble for the left-wing parties in this parliamentary election, which directly led to a significant loss of seats for the left-wing parties. There is a sense that heretics are more hateful than heretics.

Seeing this, Carlo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he pushed the other person.

In addition to the National Socialist Party entering the cabinet, there are actually other reasons. For example, the slogans of the National Socialist Party are even more alluring.

In a country where Italian nationalism is prevalent, especially in recent years, Italy has developed well, which has made nationalism even higher. And the far right is already very attractive to nationalists. For example, the New Roman Empire proposed by the National Socialist Party. The claim that Italy needs dominance in the Mediterranean if it wants to regain its glory is a statement most palatable to nationalists.

The good economic development of Italy has also brought about the gradual growth of the domestic bourgeoisie. Monopoly capitalism is no longer a term, but appears in front of the Kingdom of Italy. These monopoly capitalists were also interested in the theory of National Socialist Party expansion. Of course, just being interested is not enough. In the eyes of these monopoly capitals, the National Socialist Party is much better than the left-wing parties.

First of all, the slogan put forward by the National Society is dedication and giving, claiming that as long as every patriotic Italian is willing to give a little bit, Italy's future will be better. Look at how good the slogans of the National Socialist Party are, and then look at the left-wing parties, such as freedom, people's livelihood, welfare, etc. These slogans will only lead to workers' demands for salary increases and improved benefits.

In addition, the left-wing parties in power in recent years have issued many social welfare requirements. For example, factories must buy insurance for workers, set minimum wages, and require overtime pay for working hours exceeding a series of measures.

Therefore, in this parliamentary election, these new monopoly capitals attracted a lot of sponsorship for the National Socialist Party. This has also led to the National Socialist Party spending far more money than other parties in this election. The more money you have, the more likely you are to win the election. This is the unchanging truth. Although there may be some minor problems occasionally, this is the case for the most part. And it was precisely for these reasons that the National Society won the parliamentary election in one fell swoop.

Of course, what the National Socialist Party will do next after winning the election will test the political wisdom of the top leaders of the National Socialist Party. After all, as long as it unites with other right-wing parties at this time, it seems that the National Socialist Party cannot take the position of prime minister. This was also the source of the undercurrent in Rome before Carlo returned.

Carlo is also very curious about the next performance of the National Society. Of course, he is also a little confused about what to do next, so he will take a look first.
