Chapter 463: Conversation Between the Countesses 1
"Just wait here, watch out for strangers. "Countess Laura looked around, then walked into a hotel on the outskirts of Munich.www.biquge.info Guided by his attendant, he came to the room, hesitated for a moment, knocked on the door, and after obtaining permission from the other party, walked in.
"Countess Atelina, it's been a long time, you should have had a nice trip to Ukraine, right?" Count Laura looked at the countess who was sitting opposite, and already had a faint sense of superiority, and said calmly.
3 years ago, Laura's first feeling after seeing the Ukrainian countess for the first time in Bavaria was a beautiful canary, in Laura's opinion, the final result of this canary specially arranged in Bavaria is nothing more than two kinds, the first is to be the mistress of a big man, and the second is to be sent back to Ukraine when the first case cannot be achieved, and then thrown into a corner, no one cares.
At first, it seemed that Prince Ruprecht was also interested in her, and he also took care of various things, and even Her Royal Highness Princess Mary was a little dissatisfied with this, but what was unexpected was that the relationship between the two never developed to the point that Laura thought.
"The fundamental reason why I value her is because of her bloodline and origin, her family is a very interesting family, her family rose from the Pugachev uprising, in which her ancestors took part in the suppression of the uprising with Cossacks loyal to the empress, on the battlefield they were brave and cold-blooded warriors, but after the battle they helped to take in the Cossacks who had been affected. At the end of the war, her family gained the identification of local Ukrainians and Cossacks. So it developed quickly and played a rather important role in the Russian war for the seizure of Crimea! ”
If nothing else, she will become a real count, but alas, their family has always considered themselves Cossacks, not Russians, and some practices deliberately emphasize the independence of Ukraine, coupled with a rich family background, naturally aroused the covetousness of many people. So a series of accidents ensued in her family. Now she is the only heir. ”
"So, I think that a person who has considerable influence in Ukraine and the Cossacks is quite suitable as a pawn for us, or rather, if her abilities and energy are sufficient, it is okay to become a partner. Of course, in order to keep things as concealed as possible, I thought it would be better to have Countess Laura in charge of most of the contacts. ”
Count Laura still remembers what Prince Ruprecht had said when he gave her the task, and she thought that the prince was just joking or trying to cover it up. But then she found out that this was not the case, and that under the delicate and effeminate appearance of the Ukrainian countess was a tough and intelligent heart! In terms of means and scheming, she is no less than herself, and what makes Laura even more unexpected is that this countess's strength is really good!
The Countess is indeed very vulnerable to characters like Kuropatkin, but once she returns to Ukraine, she is the last heir to a large family, and she is inextricably linked to the largest mercenary organization in Russia. Both financial resources and guns can be regarded as Ukraine's land snakes! Her family is a tyrant in the Cherkasy region!
Laura had been to Ukraine twice with Atelina, and the modest countess had returned to become a large landowner, a guest of several Cossack tribes and a supplier of goods in high demand, and a benevolent and demanding master of the peasants. It took a long time for Laura to readjust to her new identity!
When the Russian government found out that the surrounding countesses did have a certain influence on Prince Ruprecht, and did not show any other abnormal behavior, they naturally didn't bother to care about her, and without the pressure of the upper government, the countess instead suppressed other local nobles quite badly, for no other reason, money, and arms! As early as three years ago, Bavaria smuggled at least 600 semi-automatic rifles into Ukraine every year through her hands, and this is a very important bargaining chip in the local area!
"How did you find out about that?" Count Laura had asked the prince afterwards.
"Think about it, a family that was once persecuted by the Russian government, a family that still owns a lot of land, self-production and influence, as the sole heir of such a family, and an heiress, don't you think it's shocking that she can still live like this?" Ruprecht said this to Laura at the time.
And now, as the representative of the Bavarian side, Laura is once again in contact with the countess, and they are about to finalize a very important matter.
"Nikolai is going to recruit a large number of Cossacks to serve him again, and I thought that there would be no need for so many cavalry in such a remote place as the Far East. I'm afraid this is also influenced by that noble prince, right? The cavalry of the Boers fought very well in South Africa, and the tsar wanted to imitate. Atelina said calmly.
"You still know this?" Laura was surprised.
"My family is a nobleman with a sword, according to the French, and in Ukraine, when dealing with Cossacks, you must first be ready to blow the head of the person on the other side at any time, I have been exposed to guns since I was 5 years old, at that time I liked revolvers, but now I prefer the Bavarian 9MM automatic pistol, which has a large enough ammunition capacity and is very powerful." Atelina said with a smile.
"Okay, so what do you have to do with me? Do you need more arms? You know that all major arms exports are entirely decided by His Royal Highness the Prince, and in your current capacity, you can contact the Prince from Count Schelling or come to the door in person. Why go through me? I'm Princess Mary's man. Count Laura said calmly.
"It's because you're Princess Mary's person that's why I'm looking for you. It is not my right to go directly to the Prince, and whether it is the Count of Schelling or you to pass the word, the result will be the same, but through you, I can reassure Princess Mary that I do not feel like offending that Princess, and I have no ability to make her change her attitude towards me now, so I choose you in the end. Countess Atelina said.
"We'll discuss that later, what about the other thing I asked you to ask? What exactly does His Royal Highness the Prince think of the war between Japan and Russia? I need a definite answer before arranging my plan of action. "Atelina didn't continue to dwell on the issue.
