The Rise of the Empire

"Do you think this is the end? No, no, no. This is just the beginning! Even if the Japanese stumble, they will still buy armaments at all costs. As long as Russia continues to exist in the Far East, Japan will not rest assured! And The purchase of armaments requires a large amount of loans, so I don’t think I need to say more about the rest. You are a professional, and I will arrange my people to discuss the details with you.” Ruprecht said with a lot of meaning.

Starting with silver futures, and then entering the field of yen and national debt, Ruprecht is trying to kill the Japanese, but there are still many problems in the specific operation, although Ruprecht can grasp it The general trend, but how to operate, how to look at the time point is ignorant. In other words, even if he knows that he doesn't have time to do these things, it's not bad for his cousin to find someone for him at this time, and he can earn considerable income by cooperating with the people under his father's subordinates!

"How much do you plan to do?" Countess Laura took a deep breath to calm herself down. This plan is completely carried out from the perspective of the country. Compared with the plan of a single capitalist or several banks, it is a part-time job. Same kid's play! Ruprecht has secretly spent his mobilization of military and diplomatic assistance from various aspects to a large extent to finally snatch the fruits of victory from the Japanese! Earl Laura has to say admiration for being able to engage in such a large scale for a financial war!

"The first phase of capital is 60 million marks!" Ruprecht said without thinking!

"60 million marks?! Cousin, have you used the treasury of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Princess Mary recovered from her shock after 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? See who is right, at least for Ruprecht who now controls the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group, the South Namibian diamond mine, the Bavarian-Austrian military-industrial complex, and the Brom-Fors shipyard. Money is just drizzle!

Bavarian South Industries Group has annual sales of 60 million marks to 80 million marks for hardened armor alone. In addition to hardened armor, it also has rapid-fire guns, mortars and semi-automatic rifles. With the full support of the kingdom, the diamond mines in Namibia are worth about 80 million marks in one year! And there will be more in the future!

The military factory cooperating with the Austrians has not made any profit for the time being, let alone, and although the profit of the Brom-Fors 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 Manufactures cruise ships and various ships. With a large amount of financial support from the Kingdom of Bavaria, the production efficiency and scale of the Brohm-Fors Shipyard are also called a high! It even squeezed out two of the four major state-owned shipyards with national backgrounds! In terms of annual construction tonnage alone, it is currently tied for second in Germany with the Germania Shipyard! And when it comes to profit margins, it will be even higher! Because their ships have high technological content!

In addition to these formal industries, the Bavarian royal family also made a small fortune from the old goods that have been dealt with over the years and the recent outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. The various hidden benefits promised by the government in private have further enriched Bavaria's wallet. Now it’s really time to think about how to spend your money!

It's been 5 years since 1890! Because of the particularity and monopoly of these enterprises, they are basically guaranteed to make money without losing money. The Bavarian royal family did not expect to have so much money in their hands! It is necessary to continue to expand the scale of the industrial field, but it will take time, and the Bavarian population is already a little nervous after being divided by the upstream and downstream industries. Bavaria has only 8 million people in total, and there is a slight shortage of human resources.

And because of the improvement of employment conditions and living standards, the birth rate is also increasing, but it will take time to generate these labor forces. Now the labor gap can only be filled from Austria-Hungary and other places in the empire!

But even so, the expansion speed of these military and special industries is still deliberately restricted by the government. After all, military production has a saturation level. Before new markets are opened, excessive expansion is not advisable. Therefore, the current Bavarian royal family There is still a lot of money left unspent!

Once a person has a little power, it is like making trouble, but the current Bavarian royal family has more than a little power? After making a lot of money in the Far East, the Bavarian royal family is liking Japan more and more! It's so cool to bully it! So the Bavarian royal family intends to beat their opponents again in the financial field! This is also the decisive factor in the formation of Ruprecht's plan!

"The 60 million yuan seems to be a lot, but it is temporarily occupied, and even if there is a gap between the estimate and the actual situation, it doesn't matter, but we have enough funds in our hands, and there is more room for us to play tricks." Ruprecht continued.

"So who are our so-called allies? The capitalists in Germany?" Princess Mary asked.

"Some are, and there are some Americans who also want to take advantage of the opportunity!" Roosevelt's reputation 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 caught Roosevelt's attention, or maybe it was simply for better meddling in the Far East, he also had some ideas about Japan, mobilized some capitalists through contacts, although not very powerful, but It is still a help, and more importantly, the cooperation between the two parties has had a good start!

"Prove your ability, and I will give you a brilliant future. Just imagine, if some drastic measures are adopted when it is necessary, I don't think that neither Hungary nor Austria will be affected by a certain capitalist's accident. Make trouble with a kingdom!"

Ruprecht's seemingly relaxed words reached Earl Laura's ears, but it was different! "Is this a warning or a promise?" Laura was a little uncertain. She could figure out what the so-called drastic means were on her knees. So what if you have money? For those who really lick blood with the tip of a knife, it's just a bullet!

"Okay, let's talk first. Earl Schelling will arrange the specific matters. Today I have to sign an agreement with the Russians. It's a deal of 2 million pounds. It's not good if you don't show up." Ruprecht finished speaking and was about to get up. leave.

"I'm afraid there are other purposes?" Princess Mary frowned slightly. "Don't forget about the dinner tonight, it was personally arranged by His Royal Highness."

"Cousin, I'm innocent!" Ruprecht really didn't bother to say anything up to now, let's not say that he really didn't do anything, even if he did, so what? "Do whatever you like!"
