Chapter 12

Although Carlo has solved the funding problem, it is certainly not that simple to build a R&D center. He needs to deal with a lot of things such as site selection, finding someone to host the electrical R&D center, etc., which makes his life so difficult every day.

Enrichment.

Besides, Carlo had other ideas.

The small island of Caprera, located in the northeast of Sardinia, is where the Italian national hero Garibaldi lived. The island has become very famous since Garibaldi moved in, and there is an endless stream of people coming here every day.

It's just that Garibaldi didn't want to see them. He was enjoying himself on this small island. There was nothing wrong with raising flowers and fishing every day.

But today, Garibaldi's leisurely life ended. A letter from Rome appeared in front of him. The unique symbol on the letter was the cross and crown with a red background, which Garibaldi had not seen before.

Of course, at that time, he was still campaigning for the unification of Italy, and he had also met the Father of Italy. Although the two ideas were completely different, they could both feel the determination to unify Italy.

If not, how could Garibaldi be willing to follow in his footsteps and contribute to the cause of Italian unification. Of course, the two had conflicts due to ideological issues. But in the end, with the combined efforts of the two, the Kingdom of Italy

Completed unity. When the basis for all cooperation is gone, parting ways is inevitable.

However, Garibaldi's huge prestige in Italy at this time made him fearless of threats and accusations from anyone.

But now that kid from the Savoy family actually wants Garibaldi to help him. Isn’t it funny? Who doesn’t know whether Garibaldi is a republican or a republican who has fought against the enemy? You see, the government now specializes in

Arrange personnel to protect him on the island, and you will know the attitude of the kingdom towards him.

And a man like him who was almost under house arrest could actually attract the attention of the new king. How should I put it?

Garibaldi looked at this letter with tender handwriting and couldn't help but think deeply.

"What's the matter, Giuseppe?"

Seeing Garibaldi meditating while holding a letter, Cosentz Thesis, a good friend, asked with concern. This is one of the few good friends of Garibaldi. The two have fought side by side for many years.

Compared with Garibaldi, Cosentz is much younger, but no matter how young he is, Cosentz is still in his fifties.

"Nothing, this is just a letter from the king who ascended the throne. In the letter, he said that he admired the red shirt army I created and hoped to meet these Italian men who fought hard for the country."

"Haha, this will disappoint the king. The red shirts are all old."

There is a reason for Cosentz to say this. The recognized Red Shirt Army refers to the army that Garibaldo went on an expedition to Sicily to seize the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. They were called the Red Shirt Army because they all wore red military uniforms.

This army defeated the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and captured its capital, Naples. In the end, Garibaldi dedicated the kingdom to Emanuele II and helped him ascend the throne as King of Italy.

Later, during the Italian-Austrian War, Garibaldi formed another Red Shirt Army. In addition to the Franco-Prussian War, Garibaldi formed three volunteer armies.

However, the most famous one was the expedition to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. Twenty years have passed since then, and the good guys have become greasy uncles. That's why Cosentz said that the young king would be disappointed.

Obviously, Cosentz regarded Carlo as the kind of boy who admired Gallipoli and wanted to admire the heroic appearance of the red shirt back then.

Facing the words of his old friend, Garibaldi shook his head. "I feel a little strange. You and I have seen this young monarch at the time, and he doesn't look like a young man."

"Have you discovered anything?"

"That's not true."

"Then why do you think this boy is not simple?"

"intuition!"

Cosentz was still very convinced of the intuition of his old friend Garibaldi, which saved the lives of many people on the battlefield and led them to defeat many opponents. So when Garibaldi said these words of intuition, Cosentz

Senz looked startled and turned serious.

"So, what are you going to do this time?"

"At the moment, I don't know. But since His Majesty wants to see me, he still needs to see me. But this time I don't plan to see him directly. How about you go there for me?"

Cosentz was a little surprised when he heard what his old friend said, and he didn't expect Garibaldi to want to represent him.

"Is this appropriate?"

"Is there anything inappropriate? If I go to Rome, many people will feel uneasy."

Garibaldi's explanation made Cosenz smile slightly. "No problem. Since you don't want to attract attention, I might as well move around."

Hearing Cosentz's promise, Garibaldi smiled like a child. "Then I'll trouble you this time. When you come back, I'll make the best seafood pizza for you."

"What you said makes my mouth water now. When I come back, you need to make pizza for me for at least three days."

"no problem."

After the two of them made an agreement, Cosentz left Caprera Island on a transportation boat that afternoon, just like he had experienced in the military.

Carlo didn't know anything about Garibaldi's actions. Of course, he contacted Garibaldi because he wanted to use the momentum of this national hero to gain weight for himself.

Of course, in addition to this, Garibaldi's Red Shirt Army, which is so powerful in Europe, is not without his thoughts. Of course, he does not want to completely take over the entire Red Shirt Army, although thousands of Red Shirt Army are against the government.

There is no problem at all, but this will cause dissatisfaction in the Army.

Well, the Italian Army was a complete joke in later generations (and it is still), but to Carlo now, it is like a pillar of heaven. Moreover, the Army is deeply involved in the country. If he does not reach the point of monopolizing power, he will definitely

I won't touch this hornet's nest.

He just wants to absorb the essence of the Red Shirt Army and form a small-scale army that is completely loyal to him. If he wants to be loyal but also have sufficient combat effectiveness, after many calculations, only Garibaldi's Red Shirt Army is the most suitable.

.

I hope Garibaldi is as heroic as the rumors say, otherwise Carlo's desire to build his own team will be really troublesome.
