Chapter 118

"Do you think this is over? No, no, no. This is just the beginning! Even if the Japanese fall into trouble, they will still spend all their money to purchase arms. As long as Russia continues to exist in the Far East, Japan will not be relieved! Adding arms requires a lot of loans. I don't think I need to say more about the rest. You are a professional, and I will arrange for my people to discuss details with you." Ruprech said deliberately.

Starting from silver futures and then entering the yen and treasury bond fields, Ruprecht is trying to kill the Japanese, but there are still many problems in specific operation issues. Although Ruprecht can grasp the general trend, he knows nothing about how to operate and how to look at the time. Or even if he knows that he doesn't have time to do these things, it's good to find someone for himself at this time. It can earn considerable profits by cooperating with his father's subordinates!

"How old are you planning to be?" Count Laura took a deep breath and calmed down his mood. This plan was completely carried out from the perspective of the country. Compared with this, the planning of a single capitalist or several banks was like a part-time job! Ruprecht had already spent his vague expenditures to mobilize his own military, and the help of diplomacy was largely to seize the fruits of victory of the Japanese in the end! Earl Laura had to admire him for being able to make such a large scale for a financial war!

"The first phase of the funds are 60 million marks!" Ruprecht said without thinking!

"60 million marks?! Cousin, have you used the treasury of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Princess Mary came back from the shock for a while.

"Don't worry about the source, it's all my own money. If we count our allies, we can mobilize more funds!" Ruprecht said indifferently.

Is 60 million marks a lot? It depends on who, at least for Ruprecht, who now controls the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group, the Southern Namibian Diamond Mine, the Bavarian-Austrian Military Industry Consortium, and the Brom-Foss Shipyard, this little money is just a drizzle!

Bavarian Southern Industrial Group has sales of 60 million to 80 million marks per year for only hardening armor. In addition to hardening armor, there are also rapid-fire cannons, mortars and semi-automatic rifles businesses. With the strong support of the Kingdom, all diamonds mined in Namibia are worth about 80 million marks a year! And it will increase in the future!

The military factories that cooperate with the Austrians have not made any profit yet. Let’s not talk about it. Although the profit of the Brom-Foss Shipyard is not as good as the previous two, it is still considerable. After all, in addition to the warship business, they are also good at producing cruise ships and various ships. With the support of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the production efficiency and scale of the Brom-Foss Shipyard is also very high! It even squeezes out two of the four major state-owned shipyards with national backgrounds! In terms of annual construction tonnage, it is currently tied for Germany with German shipyards! And in terms of profit margins, it will be even higher! Because their ships have high technological content!

In addition to these formal industries, the past few years of stocks and the recent outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the employment costs of the Blue Legion and the Russian orders also made the Bavarian royal family a small fortune. Coupled with the various hidden benefits promised by the Russian government in private, Bavaria's wallets have been further enriched. Now it is really time to consider how to spend money!

It has been five years since 1890! Because of the particularity and monopoly of these enterprises, they basically make a profit without losing money. The Bavarian royal family did not expect that they would have so much money! It is necessary to continue to expand the scale of the industrial field, but it takes time. Moreover, the Bavarian population has become a little nervous after being divided by upstream and downstream industries. There are only 8 million people in Bavaria, and there are some shortcomings in human resources. Due to the improvement of employment conditions and living standards, the birth rate is also increasing. However, it takes time for these labor force to generate. Now the labor gap can only be filled from Austro-Hungary and other parts of the empire!

However, even so, the expansion speed of these military and special industries is still deliberately limited by the government. After all, military production has a saturation, and excessive expansion is not desirable before a new market is opened. Therefore, the current Bavarian royal family still has a lot of money not spent!

Once a person has some power, it is like making trouble for the wind and rain. The current Bavarian royal family has more and more power. After making wind and rain in the Far East, the Bavarian royal family is becoming more and more fond of Japan! It’s so cool to bully it! So the Bavarian royal family plans to beat opponents in the financial field again! This is also the decisive factor in the formation of Ruprecht’s plan!

"The 60 million yuan of funds seems to be a lot, but it is just temporary occupation. Even if there is an estimated gap between it and the actual situation, it doesn't matter, but we have sufficient funds and there is more room for playing tricks." Ruprecht continued.

"So who are our so-called allies? German capitalists?" asked Princess Mary.

"Some are, and there are some Americans, who also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!" Roosevelt's credibility is still good, and his ability is even more outstanding, otherwise he would not be the president of the United States. Perhaps it was Ruprecht's vigilance against Japan that attracted Roosevelt's attention. Perhaps it was just to better intervene in the Far East, he also had some ideas about Japan and mobilized some capitalists through his network of contacts. Although his power was not very strong, it was still a helping force. More importantly, the cooperation between the two sides had a good start!

"Prove your ability and I will give you a brilliant future. Just imagine, if it is necessary and adopt some intense means, I think neither Hungary nor Austria will be unable to get along with a kingdom due to the accident of a certain capitalist!"

Ruprecht's seemingly relaxed words came to Count Laura's ears, but it was different! "Is this a warning or a promise?" Laura was a little unsure. What was the so-called fierce method? She could figure it out with her knees. So what if you have money? For those who are really licking blood at the tip of a knife, it is just a bullet!

"Okay, let's talk about it first. Earl Schelling will arrange the specific matters. Today I will sign an agreement with the Russians. It would be bad if I don't come forward." Ruprecht said that and prepared to get up and leave.

"I'm afraid there is another purpose?" Princess Mary frowned slightly. "Don't forget tonight's dinner, it was arranged by His Highness **** himself."

"Cousin, I'm very innocent!" Ruprecht is so lazy to say anything. Not to mention that he really didn't do anything. Even if he did it, what can he do? "What should I do if I like!"
