Chapter 118: Wealthy

"Do you think that's the end of it? No, no, no. And that's just the beginning! Even if the Japanese make a mistake, they will still spare no expense to purchase armaments, and as long as Russia continues to exist in the Far East, Japan will not rest assured! And the purchase of armaments will require a large amount of loans, and I don't think I need to say much about the rest. You are a professional, I will arrange for my person to discuss the details with you. Ruprech said deliberately.

Starting with silver futures, and then entering the field of yen and government bonds, Ruprecht is going to kill the rhythm of the Japanese, but there are still many problems in the specific operation, although Ruprecht can grasp the general trend, but how to operate, how to look at the timing is unknown. Or 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 himself at this time, and he can earn quite a lot of money by cooperating with his father's people!

"How big are you going to be?" Countess Laura took a deep breath to calm her mood, this plan is completely carried out from the perspective of the state, and the plan between a single capitalist or several banks is like child's play compared to this! Ruprecht has already implicitly spent his own military and diplomatic assistance to mobilize many aspects of military and diplomatic assistance, to a large extent, in order to finally snatch the fruits of the victory of the Japanese! To be able to engage in such a large scale for a financial war, Count Laura also has to say that he admires!

"The first tranche of funds is 60 million marks!" Ruprecht said without even thinking about it!

"60 million marks?! Cousin, have you used the treasury of the Kingdom of Bavaria? Princess Mary came back from her shock with a half-ring.

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

Is 60 million marks a lot? It depends on whom, at least for Ruprecht, who now controls the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group, the South Namibian diamond mines, the Bavarian-Austrian military-industrial complex, and the Brom-Foss shipyard, this is just a drizzle!

BSW sells between 60 million and 80 million marks per year on hardened armour alone, and in addition to hardened armour, it also sells rapid-fire guns, mortars and semi-automatic rifles. Namibia's diamond mines, with the full support of the kingdom, are worth about 80 million marks a year! And it will be added in the future!

The arms factories cooperating with the Austrians are not yet profitable, not to mention for the time being, and the Brom-Forss shipyard is not as profitable as the first two, but it is still considerable, after all, in addition to the warship business, they are also good at producing cruise ships and all kinds of ships. With the large financial support of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the production efficiency and scale of the Brom-Foss shipyard are also high! even squeezed out 2 of the four major state-owned shipyards with a national background! In terms of tonnage built in a single year, it is currently tied with Germania shipyards for second place in Germany! And when it comes to profit margins, it's even higher! Because people's boats are high-tech!

In addition to these formal industries, the Bavarian royal family was also able to make a small fortune from the cost of hiring the Blue Legion and the orders placed by the Russians after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and the Bavarian purse was further enriched by the hidden benefits promised privately by the Russian government. Now it's time to think about how you 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, and the Bavarian royal family did not expect that there would be so much money in their hands! It is necessary for the industrial sector to continue to expand, but it will take time, and the population of Bavaria is already a little nervous after being divided by upstream and downstream industries, Bavaria has a total of only 8 million people, 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 for these labor forces to be generated, and now the labor gap can only be filled from Austria-Hungary and other parts of the empire!

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

Once a person has a little power, it is like making a mess of wind and rain, and the current Bavarian royal family does not just have a little power? After reaping a lot of benefits from the wind and rain in the Far East, the Bavarian royal family is more and more fond of Japan as a country! It's so cool to bully it! So the Bavarian royal family plans to knock on the opponent in the financial field again! This was also the decisive factor in the formation of the Ruprecht plan!

"60 million funds seem to be a lot, but it is a temporary occupation, and even if there is a gap between the estimate and the reality, it doesn't matter, but we have enough funds in our hands, and there is more room for play." Ruprecht continued.

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

"There are some of them, and there are some Americans who also want to take advantage of the opportunity!" Roosevelt's credibility is still good, and his ability is even more outstanding, otherwise he would not be the president of the United States. Maybe it was Ruprecht's wariness of Japan that attracted Roosevelt's attention, or maybe it was simply for a better intervention in the Far East, he also had some ideas about Japan, and mobilized some capitalists through his connections, although the power was not very large, but it was still a help, and more importantly, the cooperation between the two sides had a good start!

"Prove your ability, I will give you a brilliant future, just imagine, if it really comes to some time when it is necessary, and some drastic means are adopted, I don't think that neither Hungary nor Austria will be unable to live with a kingdom because of the accident of some capitalist!"

Ruprecht's seemingly easy words reached the ears of Count Laura, but it was different! "Is this a warning or a promise?" Laura was a little unsure, what the so-called drastic means were, she could figure out with her knees. What if you have money? For those who really lick the blood at the tip of a knife, it's nothing more than a matter of a bullet!

"Okay, let's talk about it first, the specific things will be arranged by Earl Schelling, and today I have to sign an agreement with the Russians, a deal of 2 million pounds, it's not good not to show up." Ruprecht finished speaking and prepared to get up and leave.

"I'm afraid there's something else, right?" Princess Mary frowned slightly. "Don't forget tonight's dinner, this is arranged by His Royal Highness **** personally."

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