Prime Minister Azelio's heart was cold, and he reacted, he had just expressed his position too quickly and did not ask the king's opinion first, which caused Charlie Albert's displeasure.

Politics is so delicate, the Kingdom of Sardinia is also a constitutional monarchy, in this case the prime minister bypasses the king to make decisions, and if Charlie Albert does not react, it is estimated that it will not be long before he is overthrown.

Obviously, Charlie Albert is not a political novice like Louis XVI, and his political level is at least 90 points, and he will start beating him right away.

After thinking about all this, Prime Minister Azeglio said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, at the moment we only need two ways to solve the financial problem, either to collect a war tax or to borrow money from international consortiums. ”

Charlie Albert glared at him fiercely, and cursed in his heart: "Old slippery head".

Prime Minister Azelio's words are only half of what he said, "war tax" - to whom, there must be a range, right?

The old territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia has long been expropriated, and now it is levied against Lombardy, or is it collected nationwide?

This is an errand that offends people, and the clanging of the poor of the common people, and it is obviously a drop in the bucket to squeeze them, so you can only reach out to the capitalists and nobles.

Don't look at the aristocrats and capitalists of the Kingdom of Sardinia who seem to be very patriotic and enthusiastically donate, if you really want them to pay for it, you will find that things are not like that.

Fraudulent donation doors, in the 21st century, the era of highly developed Internet still exists, let alone this era?

Who wouldn't be able to put on a show? They can do even more, donate 10,000 lire and earn back 20,000 or 30,000 lire abound.

Borrowing from an international consortium? Who will lend money to the Kingdom of Sardinia now? Apart from the British, what other country is lending them money now?

International loans are high-risk and high-return, and without the participation of the government, who can guarantee that they will be recovered? In case the Kingdom of Sardinia is defeated, who do they ask for money?

Looking for a loan from the British, then it is indispensable to be ripped off, and I don't know how many traitorous treaties need to be signed, and no one wants to do this kind of business that has been stinking for thousands of years.

"Oh, since the prime minister already has a number in mind, then implement it as soon as possible!"

Charlie Albert didn't hesitate to hammer out the results.

Isn't a constitutional monarchy just about letting the king delegate power? Now he's delegating power. In short, this matter has nothing to do with the king, and it is all the responsibility of the cabinet.

Carrying the black pot for the boss, this little bit of awareness Prime Minister Azeglio still has. However, the black cauldron can't carry it by itself, and Azelio is not stupid, of course he has to pull people into the water.

"Yes, Your Majesty! When I go back, I will convene a government meeting to discuss this matter and implement it as soon as possible! ”

Charlie Albert nodded with satisfaction, the prime minister took the responsibility, and it didn't matter whether he carried the final black pot himself, or the officials below were responsible for resisting. As long as it doesn't make it difficult for him, the king, to be a good courtier.

"Well, the cabinet is responsible for solving the problem of military spending, but the military operation to attack Venice cannot be delayed, and the War Department must prepare for war as soon as possible!" Charlie Albert added

"Yes, Your Majesty!" War Minister Li Qi hurriedly replied

The king's meaning, he has understood, no matter how difficult it is, the battle to attack Venice must be fought first, this is politically correct.

As for how to fight, it is not necessarily, it is okay to concentrate on attacking, it is okay to send a small force to attack tentatively, and it is necessary to let the outside world see the determination of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Li Qi has been satisfied, he has fought for the army on the front line for another period of time, and the tentative attack in the early stage will drag on for ten days and half a month, which is not a problem, right?

The preparation time added up to the decisive battle date was almost postponed to June, and the recruit training was basically over.

……

The Kingdom of Sardinia was preparing, and the Austrian side was not idle, and Marshal Radekis, after retreating to the Venetian area, first suppressed the local rebellion.

After the execution of a group of leaders, the Vienna government added more than 70,000 free laborers, who were immediately taken by the Austrian government for the question of the Venetian area.

Because of the war, the Viennese government did not have time to make a careful evaluation, so all of them joined the road construction army and worked hard to ensure the logistics supply of the Austrian army.

After all this tossing, the Venetian region also stabilized, at the cost of an economy that almost came to a standstill.

However, as long as you think that this place is about to become a battlefield, then it doesn't matter, can you still hope to develop the economy in wartime?

"Your Excellency, Sir Lotus asks for a meeting!" The attendant whispered

Marshal Radkiss smiled slightly and said, "Let him in!" ”

……

Rost gave Radekith a noble salute, and then said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Rost-Holder is honored to meet you!" ”

According to the convention, he should be called a knight at this time, but Radkiss prefers to be called a marshal by others than a knighthood, and Lotus naturally does what he likes.

"Me too, what did Mr. Robert come to see me for today?" Marshal Radkiss asked with a smile

Lotus replied: "Your Excellency, I am here today on behalf of the Venice Chamber of Commerce, and you know that ...... is involved in this rebellion."

Before he could finish his sentence, Field Marshal Radkiss interrupted forcefully: "Mr. Lotus, the rebels will not be forgiven, and if you want to intercede for them, you need not say it.

The leaders who have been caught have basically been killed, and those who have not been caught can be treated leniently if they turn themselves in! ”

Feeling the momentum of Radkiss's unangry and self-assured, cold sweat broke out on Rotes's forehead. It's April, and it's not hot in Venice.

He could not help but rejoice that he had always opposed the violent revolution and had not participated in this rebellion, otherwise he would have had to add a head to the pillar of Venice.

This time, the Vienna government dealt a deadly hand to the rebels, even if it was a matter of all use, and if they were caught, they would not be given time to operate.

Lotus stammered, "No, Your Excellency. How could I intercede for these rebels? ”

Marshal Radkiss laughed and said, "Oh, don't be nervous and speak slowly. As long as it has nothing to do with the rebels, then everything is easy to say, your father Old Lotus is still friends with me, what do you need my help with? ”

After this shock, Lotus regretted wading into this troubled water. As an aristocratic part-time capitalist, his first identity is still that of an aristocrat.
