Rise of Empires: Spain.

Chapter 79 Menotti (Subscribe!)

Carlo was stunned. He didn't expect that he had met Garibaldi before.

But it doesn’t matter. Judging from Garibaldi’s current words and attitude, at least he still has a good impression of me.

It's enough to have a good impression of him, which also makes it convenient for Carlo to pick up some talents from Garibaldi.

"Jioti, why didn't you tell me in advance that His Majesty Carlo was coming? Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being prepared for your arrival and not going to greet you in person." Garibaldi first questioned his son Giotti, and then looked at Carlo with an apologetic look.

"It was me who asked Giotti to keep it a secret, Mr. Garibaldi. You are the hero of the unification of Italy, and all Italians should be grateful for your contribution to Italy." Carlo said with a smile, but his words were indeed sincere.

In fact, no matter which country it is, people who are selfless and wholeheartedly dedicated to the country are worthy of everyone's admiration.

If Garibaldi had any selfishness, it would be a question whether the current Kingdom of Italy could exist. If Garibaldi had joined forces with Mazzini, who supported the republic, the unified Italy would probably have become a democratic republic.

"Your Majesty, is there something important that has brought you to see me so suddenly?" Garibaldi asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal." Carlo smiled and explained the purpose of his visit: "The most important thing is to take advantage of the visit to Italy to let Jyoti go home.

I also invite you to go to Spain to serve as the dean of the Royal Military Academy of Zaragoza. If you are willing."

Garibaldi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I am afraid that I am powerless in my physical condition.

I think life in Caprera is more suitable for me. Besides, an old man with a cane is not suitable to be the dean of a military academy, right? I am afraid I have disappointed you."

Carlo certainly didn't think that Garibaldi would come out. Seeing that Garibaldi rejected his invitation, Carlo immediately said:

Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend to me? Not only does the military academy need a large number of professors, but my guards are also short of some commanders. "

Looking at Carlo who immediately revealed his true purpose, Garibaldi knew that Carlo's target was not him at all.

"Your Majesty, you have found the wrong person for this. You should go to the professor of the Royal Military Academy of Turin. I don't have any military talents here." Garibaldi said with a wry smile.

It wasn't that Garibaldi was unwilling to help Carlo, but none of the old guys he knew were suitable to go to Spain.

Some of these old guys have strong republican ideas. Although they may be capable enough, they are a hidden danger to Carlo, the King of Spain. Naturally, Garibaldi would not harm Carlo.

"How about Menotti, Mr. Garibaldi?" Carlo smiled and mentioned the candidate he had long favored: "I have a position here that is very suitable for Menotti, and it will definitely bring out his talents."

"Haha, so your Majesty has set his sights on Menotti!" Garibaldi suddenly realized, and after talking for a long time, he found out that Carlo's target was actually his eldest son.

But it is not surprising. After all, the second son, Giotti, has been Carlo's subordinate for several years, so it is normal for Carlo to have a certain understanding of Menotti.

"As long as Menotti is willing, I certainly have no objection," Garibaldi said with a smile.

He was very open-minded and would not confine his sons to him. In fact, Garibaldi knew the abilities of his two sons. Although their military talents were not that outstanding, they were definitely above the standard.

What's more, both of them are still young. If they are trained a little, they may even reach the level of general. This is why Garibaldi agreed to let Giotti follow Carlo.

The reason why he had rejected Vittorio Emanuele II's reward was entirely because such a reward lacked sincerity and was more of a surveillance.

If it was an invitation from Vittorio Emanuele II, Garibaldi would most likely refuse it, but if it was an invitation from Carlo, Garibaldi thought it was worth a try.

After all, the fact that Jyoti can serve as the commander of Carlo's Royal Guards has already proved Carlo's trust in Jyoti.

This kind of trust from the monarch is precious, and it will be more promising under such circumstances without having to worry about intrigues within the government.

After hearing Carlo's invitation, Menotti nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Garibaldi was not at all surprised by this. Instead, he looked like he had expected it.

"Mr. Garibaldi, can I take Menotti with me?" Carlo said with a smile.

"Take them away. They shouldn't have to live with me in Caprera. This shouldn't be their fate." Garibaldi nodded, with a look of reluctance and relief in his eyes.

Giotti, Menotti, since you have chosen to serve His Majesty Carlo, you should abide by your duties and avoid contact with those Republicans. "

Garibaldi himself suffered greatly from his contact with the Republicans. When he was young, Garibaldi met Mazzini and was exposed to Republican ideas.

Although Garibaldi later had his own ideas, his contact with the Republicans during this period had a profound impact on Garibaldi, making him a Republican traitor in the eyes of the monarchy.

At this point, Garibaldi did not think that the republic was right and the monarchy was wrong, which was why he chose to support the Kingdom of Sardinia to unify Italy.

There is no right or wrong in a unitary system, and monarchy has its merits in some aspects.

However, the current republicans obviously cannot see this point. They hate the monarchy so much that they are always thinking about overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a republic.

Are they really doing the right thing? Garibaldi doesn't think so.

If Italy had not yet been unified, it would be fine to have other ideas about a unified Italy. But now Italy has been unified and has a relatively stable and peaceful development environment.

Now that the Republicans have jumped out to cause trouble for the Italian government, aren't they destroying the Italy that was unified with so much difficulty?
It was precisely because of this that Garibaldi became somewhat disappointed with the republic, and this also influenced Giotti and Menotti.

The reason why Garibaldi reminded his two sons to stay away from the republic in front of Carlo was also to show Carlo his attitude, that is, although he had been exposed to the republic before, he now has nothing to do with the republic, and his sons will not get close to the republic.
