Chapter 77 Hunting (First order please!)

Carlo did not expect that after coming to Italy, he would solve most of the funding problems that had been bothering him for a long time.

With this money, the expansion of steel mills and other factories in the next few years will basically not have to worry about funding problems.

The Spanish government also hopes to borrow a batch of loans from Italian bankers, and there will basically be no harsh additional conditions, which is already a very good result.

If those officials cannot get loans from Italian bankers, then other countries basically have no hope.

Because the reason why these bankers are willing to lend money abroad is that they can get enough interest as income through loans, and they can also make a lot of money through some additional conditions.

In Italy, relying on Carlo's relationship, Italian bankers should not ask for too much, and Emanuele II will not let those bankers offer quite harsh conditions.

But if in other countries, they will not care about the life and death of the Spanish government. As long as the capitalists can make enough profits from borrowing, as long as the government can get certain benefits from it, who will care about the damage suffered by the Spanish government?

That afternoon, Carlo appeared in a hunting ground outside Rome.

This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the city of Rome. After the capital of Italy moved to Rome, it was designated as a royal hunting area by the Italian royal family and provided for royal family members to hunt and play.

Carlo was dressed in casual clothes and followed behind Emanuele II, with Crown Prince Umberto and Duke Amadeo beside him.

In the dense forest, some wild animals can occasionally be seen flashing quickly.

Emanuele II obviously likes such hunting grounds very much. He took the hunting rifle from the guard, patiently aimed at the target, and then pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A wild deer fell down a few dozen meters away, and its four hooves were still kicking randomly, but it was powerless to save the situation.

"You can try it, Carlo. I hope that more than a year of being a king has not made you forget how to hold a hunting rifle. I don't want my son to not know how to use a musket." Emanuele II gestured to Carlo to take the hunting rifle and said with a smile.

With the development of firearms, the proficient use of existing firearms has long become a project that European nobles need to learn since childhood.

The traditional elite aristocratic education requires a variety of projects to be learned, which is also full of the nobles' expectations for their children, hoping to cultivate their children into talents.

Even in terms of language, in addition to French, which is often used by European nobles, English and German are also required to be able to communicate briefly.

Carlo didn't waste words. He took the hunting rifle from his father Emanuele II, loaded the ammunition, and then looked for his prey.

Bang!

After a gunshot, everyone looked over and saw that a gray-haired hare had died.

"Haha, not bad, it seems that you haven't forgotten this aspect of education." Emanuele II nodded with satisfaction and said to his child: "

You can temporarily not use a shotgun, but you can't completely do without it. Only by holding a shotgun in your own hands can you give hunters the most basic sense of security.

Carlo, you did a good job in Spain, but not good enough. You have to know that when necessary, you can only trust yourself, understand?

It's not so easy to be a king. The Republicans tried every means to push you off the throne. The liberals seem to be easy to control, but in fact they want a king who does nothing but play.

The current Spanish government seems stable, but it's just on the surface. Primo should be almost 60 years old, right? How many years can he last?

Child, you should make your own plans. Whether the throne is stable or not depends on yourself. External forces will be lost one day. After all, you will have to face the Spanish Republicans and liberal forces alone."

Speaking of which, Italy and Spain are still somewhat similar.

Both countries are troubled by the Republicans, and the remnants of the states that were incorporated into Italy for various reasons are also seeking autonomy.

The difference is that the forces of the Kingdom of Sardinia are still very loyal to Emmanuel II, and the honor of unifying the Kingdom of Italy is enough to make Emmanuel II remembered by all Italians.

Carlo certainly understands what Emmanuel II is saying, and Carlo also understands the truth.

The saying that power comes from the barrel of a gun is never outdated in any era. If Carlo wants to sit firmly on his throne, he must also have a large-scale army in his hands.

The current Royal Guards have only more than 2,000 people, which is okay for defending the palace, but it is simply wishful thinking to want to maintain his own regime.

Only by expanding the influence to the Spanish army and obtaining the loyalty of most of the army can his royal power be truly stabilized.

Carlo is also considering these things, and even taking action.

However, Carlo had too few available personnel at this time, and since both Primo and Serrano were still in the army, it was not appropriate to promote his confidants in the army.

"I know, father. It's just that there are too few talents at hand. How about you transfer a few more relevant talents from the Turin Military Academy to me?" Carlo said with a smile.

Regardless of the performance of the Italian army in World War I and World War II, the graduates trained by the Turin Military Academy at this time were still of some level.

As for the reason why the Italian army's combat effectiveness was not strong in the later period, it should most likely be related to the lack of morale of the army.

If there is no cohesion among the soldiers, it will naturally greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Italian soldiers seemed to have just an ordinary job. They lacked the courage to fight and die for the country, and naturally could not show strong will and combat effectiveness when facing the enemy.

Emanuele II glanced at his son helplessly, without any sign of anger: "I don't have enough outstanding graduates from the Turin Military Academy, so where can I find a group of graduates for you?

What's more, you are the king of Spain, how can you abandon the Spanish and use a large number of Italians? "

Carlo certainly didn't want to reuse the officers trained by the Italian Military Academy. When his father Emanuele II said this, Carlo immediately started crying again: "

Father, I also want to train the Spaniards’ own officers. The problem is that Spain's military academy system has fallen behind significantly, and there is a lack of outstanding military commanders to teach the military academy cadets.

How about you lend me some professors from the Turin Military Academy? "

Emanuele II didn't know what his son was thinking, and said angrily: "The German Empire is the most powerful army country in Europe. If you want to build an officer training system, you might as well go to the Germans for cooperation. "
