Chapter 464 Conversation between the countess 2
"The prince said that he was not optimistic about Russia. There are many specific reasons. He said that I don't understand it. He also said that many people will die on both sides of the war this time, especially cavalry and front-line infantry. But at the same time, the prince also emphasized that don't imagine that Russia will collapse in this war. Russia has great potential, and Britain and France will not allow Russia to collapse." Laura said.
"It seems that I have to wait a long time, but it doesn't matter. I have been waiting for more than 20 years. I don't care about waiting for longer flights." A look of regret flashed across Atherina's face, but she quickly recovered.
"So what do you need this time?" Laura asked.
"The number of semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and machine guns should be doubled at least. For machine guns, there are currently more than 20 intended orders, as well as medicines and first aid kits. The first aid kits produced in Bavaria are very good and are very popular among Cossacks."
"Also, the various canned foods exported by Bavaria are very good. The Cossacks directly treat them as military rations. If possible, I hope to obtain equipment and technology from Bavaria and open a canning factory. This will cost very little. Of course, the profits that should be paid will not be less."
"Third, I need some money and more professionals. His Highness Ruprecht said that Russia will fail, and this failure will definitely lead to serious turmoil. Every turmoil is accompanied by many opportunities, and I need to prepare in advance." Atherina thought for a while and said.
"Your ambition is too great. Even if I can feel your plan, I don't think the prince will support you." A drop of cold sweat dripped from Laura's head. On the surface, the countess was just trying to use the power of Bavaria to expand his influence, but in fact, the background is far from that simple. If Russia collapses and Ruprecht is also the commander-in-chief of the German Eastern Front, the relationship between the two will be very delicate.
"You are not a prince, how can you know his decision? You just need to convey it. As for the rest, someone else will do it." Atherina was not angry, and her beautiful face still had a smile.
"Princess Mary's strength originated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire behind her, but His Highness needs not only Austro-Hungarian, but also Ukraine. Germany cannot directly control Ukraine. Then it is natural to support an absolutely trustworthy agent. From this point of view, the interests of the prince and Princess Mary are consistent. I can only rely on the support of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and now I am one of the best partners of the Kingdom." Atherina said thoughtfully.
"And then add a reason to never betray?" Laura's lips showed a hint of mockery.
"It's up to you to understand. I will be able to be a good person and know the bottom line of Princess Mary. I won't touch this bottom line. As for other aspects, in some cases, the princess will make choices. In fact, we are in a similar situation and may be doomed if we are not careful. We seem to be in a high position, but in fact we are walking on thin ice. If we want to gain more benefits in this change, then there must be a leader and a solid interest alliance." Atherina enlightened the latter like a teacher.
"Actually, don't say that you haven't thought about something. Even if you haven't thought about it, your family must have thought about it! Otherwise, you should have been called Mrs.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the princess what I have today?" Laura said with a calm face.
"Whatever it is, this is Bavaria, not Austria. And I believe you won't do this. You have paid so much and there is no return. You are a businessman, how could you do a loss-making business?" Atherina said indifferently. "Maybe one day, you will thank me."
"Haha, you're thinking too far. But I hope you don't feel so confident." Laura said with a strange look on her face. However, at this time, Laura was no longer interested in continuing to compete with Count Atherina here. There are many things that she can't decide, and even hearing some statements is a huge trouble.
"If there is nothing else, then say goodbye." Laura said, leaving the house without waiting for the other party to express anything.
"It's like walking on thin ice, it's never regained." Count Laura kept repeating the words Atherina said, and similar words appeared in Princess Mary's mouth. This means that one day in the future, the seemingly high-ranking nobles will fall to the mortal world, and the whole society will fall into turmoil, just like in 1848.
If it were someone else's words, Count Laura would not believe it, but after contacting Prince Ruprecht and Princess Mary, she was gradually believing in this point. This seemingly stable society will experience a huge turmoil in the near future. She may face endless abyss or an opportunity to soar into the sky! The prince and the princess are preparing for this turmoil. Today, the countess far away in Ukraine is also actively responding to this crisis, and she cannot ignore these things!
"It seems that the stupidest person is me," Laura said with a wry smile.
"You have told the countess all about it?" At the same time, an old man asked at the residence of Countess Atherina.
"Yes, uncle, but I am still worried that doing so will cause some unnecessary trouble. After all, we are thinking too far away and may cause dissatisfaction from a certain princess." The Countess, who was full of aura, was still a little nervous when facing the old man.
"Everything of ours is done in the eyes of that prince. We only have one master, the prince, not her wife. Even if one day her wife can become the queen of Austria, this will not change. I can come here and see you again, because of his reasons. He has always regarded Russia as an enemy and prepared it a long time ago."
When the old man said this, his twisted muscles drove the wound on his face that stretched to his neck. The wound like the neck was like a baby's little mouth. If it was a few millimeters deeper, it would be his trachea!
"This is an opportunity to seize it, consume our potential opponents well, develop the power in our hands, and in the near future, everything will be clear! If Russia fails in the competition with Japan this time, then Germany will not give Russia time to recover! And our shame will eventually be washed away by the blood of the enemy!" the old man said firmly.
