"Your Majesty, these are the casualties of our officers and soldiers."
In the kingdom, Admiral Yagier, the Minister of the Navy, submitted to Carlo the casualties of Italian mercenary naval officers and soldiers in the Spanish-American War.
This is a summary of information detailing the casualties of Italian naval officers and soldiers.
As soon as Carlo opened the information, the first article read the number of casualties. 447 people were killed, 249 were seriously injured, 351 were slightly injured, and 19 were missing, for a total of 1,066 people.
This casualty is enough to account for half of the Spanish navy's casualties, which also shows that Italy is definitely doing its best in this naval battle between the United States and Spain.
"What do the Spanish say?"
After briefly flipping through the information in front of him, Carlo put it down and asked General Kia Gil.
"Spanish Navy Minister Admiral Cervera expressed his gratitude to our country's naval officers and soldiers. He said that he would ensure that the pensions of the injured and injured Italian officers and soldiers were paid on time."
After listening to Admiral Yagir's answer, Carlo shook his head. "This is not enough. Your navy also needs to provide a pension. These officers and soldiers who were killed or injured on the battlefield all made sacrifices for the interests of Italy. We cannot
Let them down."
"Okay, Your Majesty, the Navy will provide a pension."
Admiral Yagir certainly understood what the king meant, so he agreed without hesitation.
After Admiral Yagir left, Carlo picked up the casualty information again. These are the most combat-effective officers and soldiers of the navy. If it were not for the benefit of the kingdom, who would be willing to do this. Carlo looked at this information
, each name above is a living life.
Carlo was not given much time to express his feelings. An attendant rushed over to report. "His Excellency Bacona, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has something urgent to ask to see His Majesty."
When he heard that the Foreign Secretary was in a hurry, Carlo said quickly, "Please ask him to come in."
"Your Excellency Bacona, what makes you so anxious?"
Seeing the foreign minister who was sweating profusely, Carlo felt a little curious.
"Your Majesty, something happened in the Far East. The empress dowager of the Far East imprisoned the emperor and killed six officials who supported the reform."
"Hundred Days of Reform" A word immediately came to Carlo's mind.
Yes, this was the Hundred Days Reform. Unlike in history, due to the involvement of Italy, the call for reform this time was a little lower. However, it was still regarded by the young Emperor Guangxu as a help to seize power. Of course, the result
It's still the same, the reform still failed. The only difference is that the time for the reform is no longer 103 days, but only 97 days.
It is easy to understand that Foreign Minister Bacona is so impatient. Currently, the Qing Dynasty in the Far East is Italy's largest overseas market. Every year, Italy imports a large number of special products from the Qing Dynasty and exports various domestically produced goods, which is very important to Italy's industrialization.
In addition, after the Qing emperor announced his intention to carry out political and economic reforms, European countries burst into praise and cheers.
European countries are not afraid that you will industrialize, but they are afraid that you will not industrialize, because this will allow each country to earn more profits.
The reason is very simple. Do you need capital to industrialize? What to do if you are short of money? It doesn’t matter if banks in various countries accept any mortgage and provide loan services. If you have money, do you still need to buy various machines, hire teachers and scholars, and purchase various technologies?
Money is spent as quickly as it is borrowed (purely a left- and right-handed game).
When the debt piles up, the banks in various countries will immediately change their faces and ask you to pay back the money. If you don't have the money, you will be sorry. The armed debt collection teams in various countries are skilled in the business and ensure that you voluntarily sell your children to repay the debt. If that is not enough, then sell yourself.
Therefore, industrialization is a dangerous road, and countless countries have fallen on this road.
Italy, which occupied the first place in the Qing market, was gearing up to get the biggest share of the Qing industrialization cake. (Officials including Rome also thought so, and Carlo could not dissuade the officials.
As well as the good thoughts of the businessman, could it be that he said that Emperor Guangxu could not succeed? How did he know?)
Therefore, during the Qing's political reform, Italy was even more involved and expressed its willingness to provide support to the Qing, whether it was academic or technical.
Led by Italy, all countries were afraid of losing the opportunity and expressed their willingness to provide support for the Qing's reform.
Okay, now it gets interesting.
Countries were placing their bets on the Qing Dynasty's reform, but the empress dowager directly flipped the table. Instead of eating the meat, she caused a lot of commotion.
How can this not make the Foreign Secretary feel angry? It was fine before the offer was made, but now after the offer is made to whet his appetite, how can it not make people angry?
"This news is really troublesome."
What can Carlo say? He directly took over what the Foreign Secretary said.
"Your Majesty, this is not the worst. According to the report from our Jia Liwen Company, the empress dowager wants to depose the emperor and establish a new emperor. In this case, the situation in the Qing Dynasty will be in turmoil, which will be very harmful to our country's market in the Far East.
Unfavorable. So I called Jia Liwen directly and ordered him to express our country's attitude. In addition, other countries expressed their support for the emperor."
"You've done a very good job. I approve of your handling of Far Eastern affairs."
What can Carlo say? This has triggered him to go to Beijing to practice boxing. In order to avoid being caught by crabs, Carlo directly changed the topic.
