"Your Majesty, the news we just received is that the peace conditions passed by Germany to France through neutral countries were directly rejected by them."
In the palace, Foreign Minister Bacona was reporting the latest diplomatic intelligence to Carlo.
As the saying goes, you should give in when things are good. After the Germans captured Paris, there were some voices in the country saying that people should give in when things are good. In fact, there are such voices not only in Germany, but also in Rome and Vienna. Although these voices are still relatively weak,
But after all, there are different opinions within each country. At this time, in order to unite all the political forces that can be united in the country, countries cannot ignore this voice.
Therefore, after consulting the opinions of its two allies, Germany tentatively sent a message of peace to France.
However, in the face of Germany's olive branch, the French felt that they still needed to regain their face, so they refused the offer very stubbornly, saying that they could still withstand it.
Since the French refused, the three countries have also made an internal explanation. You see, this is something the other side is not willing to do.
"Since the French have refused, this will make many people with illusions give up."
It was Prime Minister Cruz who spoke. This Prime Minister is very busy now. After the war broke out, there were many more things to do than before. Every day, he got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. His hair was also reborn, and his whole body
People show a sense of vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
In fact, not just the Prime Minister, but the entire Italian government was already very busy before the war broke out, and it became even busier after the war broke out. Assisting the army in recruiting soldiers, material distribution, work coordination, etc.
"Prime Minister, regarding the wartime management system, we must come up with it after half a year."
At this moment Carlo suddenly said something.
Faced with the king's words, Cruz did not answer directly, but nodded silently.
The current wartime management system is being compiled by the government. This is the first time in history that such a detailed wartime management system has been implemented. Other countries in history have had it before, but they were just a few short management systems, and the management was also very complex.
loose.
The controls enacted by the Italian government this time are quite strict, because the core of this decree is to bring all materials in the entire country, no matter who belongs to them, into the scope of government management.
Just think about how terrible it is. Except for grain rations, the food grown by farmers can only be purchased by the government. This has cut off many people's jobs. In addition, the control includes not only food, but also daily necessities, as well as various industrial products and raw materials needed for war.
All are controlled by the government.
It can be said that except for a small part of the economy, most of it needs to be controlled by the government. How many people's interests are involved, and how many people will resist even if it is for the sake of war.
Of course, these people are unwilling to let the government come up with this control law, and naturally they are doing their best to weaken and delay the promulgation of the law. Prime Minister Cruz alone has received several requests for favors, which he cannot directly refuse.
person, otherwise it would not be handed over to him.
Of course, the purpose of these people is not to get the Prime Minister to cancel the implementation of the bill, but to try to minimize the impact of the bill on him.
These powerful people also know where the bill comes from. Unless someone is crazy, no one can stop the promulgation of the bill. Not to mention that this is a time of war, and no one dares to move it.
Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has also tried hard to have friendly discussions with these people who requested the request. It is not good to be unfriendly. These people are spread across all walks of life in Italy and are people who can exert huge influence on the industry. Although these people individually are not as powerful as the government, together they can
Even Carlo couldn't ignore their opinions.
Therefore, faced with the pressure coming from these fronts, this wise monarch rarely expressed his attitude to the Prime Minister and pretended not to see it.
In addition to the fact that the pressure was too great, there were also these people who were very measured and did not directly oppose the implementation of the wartime management system, but rather reduced the scope of its implementation.
It is obvious that someone familiar with Carlo is involved. Otherwise, if there are objections, Carlo will really be determined to clean up.
In addition to the wartime management regulations that Carlo mentioned, today's meeting was not just about diplomatic contacts.
"Your Majesty, colleagues, our Ministry of Interior has currently assisted the military in completing the first and second batches of recruitment work as required, and is currently preparing for the third batch of recruitment work. In addition, the national personnel registration has been carried out
The registration work is nearing completion. Except for mountainous areas and some distant islands that cannot be reached, other places have basically completed the registration and filing tasks. Next, our Ministry of Interior will issue resident certificates to ensure follow-up work.
Expand."
Minister Brugger reported on the work of their Ministry of Interior.
Speaking of which, the Ministry of Interior is the busiest department of the government at present. Due to the outbreak of the war, the Ministry of Interior needs to cooperate with the military's recruitment tasks. In addition, there are also heavy tasks on the government side. For example, public security management, and
Guidance and control of public opinion, etc. It can be said that most of the current work carried out by the government is involved with the Ministry of the Interior, which also results in the Ministry of the Interior being definitely the most burdensome department of the government.
Of course, we are tired and we must not make any mistakes in our work. Brugger has not been home for half a month and has been watching the execution of various tasks in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It seems pretty good so far. Under Brugger's pressure, the Ministry of Interior's work is progressing very well.
Even Brugger, the third most powerful figure in the National Socialist Party, had a shining political achievement.
"Your Excellency Brugger, your Ministry of Interior has done a very good job."
The recognition from King Carlo meant a lot to him and made him feel that his hard work was worth it.
Now that the Ministry of the Interior has made a good start, it will be the turn of other departments to report.
How should I put it, the reports of these departments were good and bad, and some of the work progress made Carlo frown, but some of them were praised by him. But overall, the work progress still satisfied Carlo.
So near the end of the meeting, he said, "Thank you very much for your work. I am very satisfied with the progress of the government's work. Of course, there are some small unsatisfactory things. I hope they can be corrected in the future. Of course, we are also excellent."
It should be praised.”
After a brief concluding speech, the ministers also stood up and left. There was still a lot of work waiting for them, and no one had time during the war.
As for Prime Minister Cruz, he was stopped by Carlo as he was about to leave.
"Prime Minister, come with me to the General Staff Headquarters."
The reason why Carlo stopped him was very simple, that is, there was a battle coming, which required the cooperation of the government.
