In the spring of 1902, a huge political news broke out in the political arena. Prime Minister Antonio invited Cruz, the leader of the National Socialist Party, to join the cabinet and serve as Minister of the Interior.
This incident shocked everyone, because the current government is left-wing, not to mention that Antonio suppressed the National Progressive Party, the predecessor of the National Socialist Party, and was about to be disbanded at that time.
This time, the prime minister was actually able to recruit the leader of the National Socialist Party to the cabinet. One can imagine the price paid.
Among them, the opposition from other left-wing parties in the coalition alone is enough to give Prime Minister Antonio a hard time. In addition, there is also the will of the National Socialist Party, and how other right-wing parties view it is also a big problem.
Since there are so many troubles, it certainly doesn't mean that the government has spent so much money to bring the National Society into the cabinet, just to make a living.
Yes, some people may have thought that the reason for spending such a large price was to take a fancy to the superior combat effectiveness of the National Socialist Party. In this regard, the mafia who has either been eliminated or has fled abroad has the most say.
The National Society's entry into the cabinet this time was prepared to promote the transformation of districts into provinces.
Therefore, after incorporating the National Society, Antonio certainly could not and did not dare to stop and immediately prepare for the political reform of converting districts into provinces.
Because this reform involves a wide range of things and is very important, it is rare for the Prime Minister to come to parliament to ensure the passage of this political reform bill.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this bill can ensure the future political stability of Italy, so I hope that all the members present will cast their precious votes."
In fact, it is not so necessary for the Prime Minister to make the opening remarks, because the parliament will definitely pass it with a majority, and the various parties will not set up obstacles on this bill to strengthen the power of the central government. After all, everyone has a chance, and voting against it at this time is
Having trouble with yourself.
Soon, the results of the parliamentary vote on the proposal to convert districts into provinces were announced, and the speaker of the parliament announced the results loudly. "On the bill to convert districts into provinces, there were 153 votes in favor and 48 votes against. Here I announce that the bill has a high vote
With the required number of votes, the bill was passed.”
With the words of the President of the Council, it was also announced that Rome's move to take over power had begun.
The reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately published the speaker's declaration in the newspaper, and the next day the news that Italy was going to be converted into a province spread throughout the Apennine Peninsula.
As for Rome's passing of the bill to convert districts into provinces, various local governments immediately expressed their stance, claiming that they fully abide by the just-passed bill and would wait for the central government to send people to hand over the situation.
However, it is good to listen to some words. For example, various local governments that claimed to be waiting for Rome to send people to take over spent money unexpectedly during this period. In addition to spending the balance of local finances, some local governments even delayed the transfer of funds.
The money given was not given, but spent together, leaving a mess waiting for Rome to clean up.
Faced with the lack of cooperation from the local government, the king, the prime minister and other high-level officials in Rome were certainly aware of this. At this time, their eyes were set on the new interior minister, Cruz. For Cruz, promoting the implementation of the conversion of districts into provinces was the right thing to do.
If a major test of the National Society was messed up, the scenery before him would be the most glorious moment of the National Society. Of course, he and other executive members would not want to see the flash in the pan of their own party.
Therefore, he is always paying attention to the advancement of the bill, and as expected, the advancement of converting districts into provinces looks good, but the actual situation is blocked in every possible way. Therefore, next we need to look at Cruz.
"Everyone, what you see is the actual progress of converting districts into provinces. You are all the pillars of our Socialist Party, so we need your help in the next step."
In the Rome branch of the National Socialist Party, Cruz, as the party leader, looked at the elites of his party. They were all elites selected by the National Socialist Party over the years. They have perseverance and lofty ideals, outstanding minds, and flexibility.
He is the most outstanding capable officer of the National Socialist Party.
"Party leader, I have some personal opinions."
In the venue, a young National Socialist Party elite raised his hand to signal.
"Racerda, if you have any opinions, just mention them and I will listen carefully."
Cruz knew him. He was from the Puglia branch. He was capable and intelligent. He once wiped out the mafia in Barletta overnight, which was enough to make people feel his intimidation.
In fact, he was not the only one who knew more than 20 people in the venue, because they were all carefully selected by him. How could he not know them?
"Party leader, through the information, I found that the current advancement situation is not ideal, and I also understand your intention of choosing only three places as a breakthrough. Lombardy is currently the most prosperous region in our country. Ensure that the transformation of this region into a province is stable.
It is conducive to economic stability. As the region with the greatest opposition, Sicily really needs us to go all out to let other regions know Rome's attitude.
As for the Campania region, because it is the core region of the South, priority should be given to suppressing opposition here in order to deter other southern regions. But there is one thing that you, the party leader, may not have discovered. As the core region of the South, Campania
The opposition forces in the district are quite complex, and there are more situations that need to be considered."
Facing Lacerda's words, Cruz looked at him seriously and said, "Is there anything I don't know about you that you can tell me about? This is just a first draft, and there is no final decision yet."
"Okay party leader and colleagues, I will tell you what I know." Lacerda looked at the people present and then said. "According to the data, the transformation of Campania district into a province is progressing.
Although the degree is not at the front, it is not backward either. However, according to what I know, the actual local situation may not be like this, but far behind other regions, basically equivalent to Sicily. Regarding this point, you, the party leader
You can ask the comrades in the Campania branch, I believe they will give you a report on the actual situation."
Although Lacerda did not say it explicitly, Cruz also knew about some of the situations. It was obvious that someone on the Ministry of Interior's side had modified the actual situation in Campania. It seemed that there were quite a few people who were dissatisfied with him becoming the Minister of the Interior.
Of course, he won't pay too much attention to these small actions now, and his first priority is to ensure the implementation of the bill.
"Racerda, thank you for your valuable opinions. I will have someone revise them next. If you have any objections to the description of the data, please tell me immediately. Only with you can I guarantee that I will not be
People are covering up, so everyone can speak freely."
With Cruz's encouragement, others also pointed out some differences in the materials that they understood, and Cruz thanked them all.
Of course, the most important issue at this meeting is the execution of the bill.
At this point, although Cruz is the interior minister, the only thing he can rely on now is the strength of the National Socialist Party itself. Of course, he has not forgotten what the king said when he summoned him: Cruz, I need the National Socialist Party to clear out some governments in Italy.
It is inconvenient to come forward. I hope the National Society will live up to my expectations.
Obviously, if you want to expand your power in Italian politics, it is impossible without the support of the king. This time, making yourself the most alternative right-wing minister in the left-wing cabinet is the best proof. Even the prime minister cannot refuse the advice from the king.
