Carlo looked at the two plans that were sent to him and couldn't help but pick up the scalp.
Although Carlo was the king of Italy, the Savoy family was also the eldest member of the family, and the annuity of many members was an indispensable income. This method of reducing annuity income does not need to be thought about to know that it is simply unrealistic.
It will inevitably lead to strong opposition. As the most important member of the family, it is also impossible for him to stand against the family members for this.
"Chief Guard, go and fetch Mr. Alejard."
At present, Carlo has thought of a way, but he needs the help of this palace wise man.
Without letting Carlo wait any longer, the palace manager Alejandr appeared in front of Carlo.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Looking at the palace steward who was getting older and older, Carlo couldn't help but asked with concern. "Mr. Alejard, how are you doing recently?"
Faced with Carlo's concern, the palace steward said, "It's not bad. Although there are constant minor problems, I feel that I can still survive for a few more years."
"I came to see you sir this time because I have something to ask..."
In Carlo's mouth, he told the old man the whole story of the incident and his own thoughts.
After listening to Carlo's story, Chief Alejandr nodded and replied. "Your Majesty's idea is very good, and the royal family property can also provide this money, but since this money is loaned to the government, it must
Including interest, even if it is calculated based on bank loan interest, this is a must."
Yes, Carlo planned to lend money to the government from the royal family. Although this was just a roundabout way, at least in name it did not reduce the royal family's funds, so family members would not object to this.
As for the additional suggestions put forward by Director Alejard, Carlo also admitted that he had not considered them thoroughly before. Although the interest was not much, it was a one-size-fits-all approach, and some things needed to be clearly distinguished to avoid trouble.
Now that it was decided, Carlo called the captain of the guard and informed the prime minister of his decision.
After solving this matter that may have an impact on Italy's future, Carlo picked up a document he had seen before, which was a war report from Libya. After a month of hard fighting, the governor of Libya, Harward Joe,
The clearing operation led by Ji and commanded by General Brenin finally produced results.
After fighting with nearly ten thousand people in three cavalry brigades, they wiped out five large tribes, seven medium-sized tribes, and several small tribes in one month. A total of 57,000 people were killed and captured, and more than 5,000 guns of various types were confiscated.
, tens of thousands of other weapons, more than 70,000 cattle and sheep, more than 8,000 horses, more than 900 camels, and various property worth more than 7 million lire.
In a sense, this operation was quite good, as it shrouded the majesty of Italy in this barren land.
Of course, this operation was not unscathed. The Italian army had 619 killed, 391 injured, and 27 missing. The number of killed in action was higher than the injured, which fully illustrates the suffering suffered by the army in this clearing operation.
Moreover, after the battle report, Governor George was still complaining that many officers and soldiers killed in battle were caused by the lack of doctors and medicines. Due to the lack of doctors and medicines, some officers and soldiers suffered minor injuries that turned into serious injuries, and then died as a result.
Regarding Governor George's complaint, Carlo has no good solution now. The only thing Carlo can do is to appeal to doctors to join the army and serve the country. This is just to ask the current doctors to give up their comfortable life and generous remuneration to serve the country.
100 million point difficulty.
Italians have not experienced the baptism of Confucianism. Although nationalism is prevalent in Italy, like other countries, nationalism is more prevalent among people at the bottom, those who have just made ends meet and have read some books. Doctors and so on
It is really difficult for the middle class to give up their decent life and go to the army to eat sand.
This is not just a situation unique to Italy. Military doctors are a persistent problem throughout Europe and even in Germany, which has the strongest military atmosphere.
Of course, Carlo was more concerned about another thing than the small issue of military doctors.
That was the result of this clearing operation. He was a little dissatisfied with the results. Yes, he was not very satisfied with the results of this campaign. The reason was simple, because this was the first operation and the tribes were not prepared yet. Under such circumstances,
The surprise attack only found more than 50,000 people, which was not an outstanding result.
And he had a hunch that although there were only two to three hundred thousand people in Libya, these local snakes would become particularly difficult to catch if they became vigilant. The local tribes were familiar with the local environment and terrain, and trying to catch them was like catching a loach with bare hands.
These slippery local people will not give them such a good opportunity again.
Thinking of this, he would not have high expectations for the next clean-up operation in Libya.
Another point is that there are no perennial rivers in Libya, which lacks sufficient attraction for Italian farmers who basically focus on planting agriculture. It is a huge test for the Governor of Libya to complete the immigration task.
Thinking of this, Carlo called a guard. "Send a message to the Prime Minister and ask him to favor Libya to a certain extent in terms of funding and policy. Also send a message to Governor Harward Jorghi and tell him to accept the request."
In addition to wiping out the local tribes, we also need to solve the local food supply problem as soon as possible."
Although the latter question should be raised by the Prime Minister, Carlo looked at the consumption situation in Libya and decided to speak first.
Because he saw a list of materials transported by Libya in the past few months. It can be said that everything needs to be transported from Libya at present, ranging from grain, horseshoes, nails, to steam engines, coal and various machines.
There is a lot of these supplies, costing the government at least nearly two million lire every month. During this period of clearing operations, Libya spent more than seven million lire. Not to mention, the local garrison will still need to continue fighting.
The cost will be even higher.
In line with the attitude of saving money for the government, Carlo believed that it was necessary to ask Governor Howard Georgi to save money.
Although this harvest is quite good and can cover the local expenses for several months, it will also cost a lot to transport these North Africans to East Africa.
When he thought about these rising expenses, Carlo really regretted it. In order to avoid future troubles, Italy's fiscal expenses were so high that he almost couldn't breathe.
You must remember this lesson next time. You are still too impatient and not rational enough.
Just as Carlo was swearing an oath to himself, a guard suddenly reported that Foreign Minister Jiminy Bacona wanted to see him.
