My Italy

Chapter 616 Meeting

"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 to Carlo the latest diplomatic intelligence.

As the saying goes, stop when you are good. After the Germans captured Paris, there were some voices in the country saying they would just give up. In fact, there are such voices not only in Germany, but also in Rome and Vienna. Although these voices are still relatively weak, they are still 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, who felt that they still needed to regain their face, refused the offer very stubbornly, saying that they could still withstand it.

Since the French refused, the three countries have also made an explanation internally. You see, this is what the other party is unwilling 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, he had many more things to do than before. He got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog every day. The hair on his head was also reborn, and his whole person showed a sense of fatigue.

In fact, not only 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. Assist 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 time Carlo suddenly said something.

Faced with the king's words, Cruz did not answer directly, but nodded silently.

The government is currently preparing this wartime management system. This is the first time in history that such a detailed wartime management system has been implemented. Other countries in history have had such a detailed wartime management system before, but they were only a few short management systems, and the management was also very 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, under the government's management.

It's terrible to think about it. Except for rations, the food grown by farmers can only be purchased by the government. This has cut off many people's jobs. In addition, not only food is included in the control, but also daily necessities, as well as various industrial products and raw materials needed for war, are all 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 in this, and how many people will resist even if it is for the reason 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. These are all requests for favors that he cannot refuse directly, otherwise they will 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 enactment of the bill. Not to mention that this is a time of war, and no one dares to touch 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, facing the pressure from these developments, 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, the registration and filing tasks have basically been completed in other places. 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 the Interior.

Speaking of which, the Ministry of Interior is the busiest department of the government at present. Because of the outbreak of the war, the Ministry of Interior needed to cooperate with the military's recruitment tasks. In addition, there was also heavy work on the government's side. For example, public security management, as well as the 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 leads to the fact that the Ministry of the Interior is definitely the most burdensome department of the government.

Of course, you will get tired again, and there must be no mistakes in your work. Brugger has not been home for half a month and has been watching the execution of various tasks in the Ministry of Interior.

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 record.

"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 could also be commended by him. But overall, Carlo is satisfied with the progress of the work.

So towards the end of the meeting, he spoke. "Thank you very much for your work. I am very satisfied with the progress of the government's work. Of course, there are some minor dissatisfactions. I hope they can be corrected in the future. Of course, we should also praise the outstanding ones."

After a brief concluding speech, the ministers also stood up and left. There was 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 when he was about to leave.

"Prime Minister, come with me to the General Staff Headquarters."

The reason why Carlo stopped him was simple, that is, there was a battle coming, which required the cooperation of the government.
