Chapter 281: Friends of the Romanovs

The moonlight is like water, draping the entire Imperial Palace in Berlin with a fantastic silver veil.

At the end of the year, the fireplaces in all the rooms of the palace are lit up with orange-red fireworks, bringing spring warmth to the space. As Christmas is approaching, all the green trees in the palace have been simply decorated, and colorful neon lights flicker in the dark night sky, decorating the whole palace beautifully. It's like a dream kingdom.

In one of the splendid and magnificent halls, Qing Ying was sitting at a large desk reviewing papers, and the red flames rising from the fireplace reflected his side face like a jade carving. As he grew older, William began to entrust him with more and more affairs of state; Under the oppression of these countries involving politics, economy, humanities, religion, science and technology, construction and many other aspects, Qingying also bid farewell to the leisurely life with Sanya who was tired all day long. Although the task assigned by William has caused a lot of obstacles to Qingying's sexual life, after such a period of time of dealing with affairs, Qingying has clearly felt that his ability has improved by leaps and bounds.

The door creaked open, bringing with it a rich fragrance like August cinnamon. Qingying put down the quill pen in her hand and just saw Sanya walking towards her. Looking at the beautiful face that perfectly blends charm and innocence, the corners of Qingying's mouth hooked up a smile; He stretched out his arm slightly, and a slender and delicate body burrowed into his arms like a dexterous swimming fish.

"Why, you came to me so early today, did you miss my feelings?" Qingying smiled, and her slender index finger lightly touched the little princess's smooth forehead. Due to the increase in working hours, Sanya, who has been glued to her for many years, is very uncomfortable. Always find all sorts of reasons to meet yourself at work. What surprised Qingying was a little. At this time, it was just the beginning of the lanterns. The princess creature couldn't hold back her physical impulse and quietly appeared in her office room.

"It's not talented, people are reserved, so they won't miss you stupid!" Sanya snorted and straightened her chest proudly, making the pair of snow peaks that were already round and straight look even more towering and inviting under the thick winter coat. She took out a delicate brocade box from her pocket, held it to Qingying with her white jade hand like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Do you remember what I said to you three months ago?" If the decree on the increase in trade on imports to Russia is adopted. Let Cousin Nikolai award you a Grand Duke of St. Vladimir, and now it's time for me to make good on my promise! ”

Sanya lifted her slender legs, so that her whole delicate body curled up in Qingying's arms like a Persian cat, and the familiar smell of vanilla between her noses made her can't help but let out a satisfied cat meow. She gently opened the brocade box in her hand, and a pair of aqua blue starry eyes revealed a strong love and affection: "This is a medal that represents the highest status and honor of the Russian Empire, since Catherine the Great founded it more than 120 years ago, it has always been awarded only to civil and military officials who have made great contributions to Russia." Cousin Nikolai's accession to the throne for 15 years was only awarded to Count Werther! This medal can be awarded to you on an exceptional basis, in addition to this special relationship between you and me. It is also to thank you for the past ten years of friendship with the Russian Empire, which you have shown as before. Without your massive material purchases for Russia. Maybe Russia's state finances would have collapsed long ago after the end of the war with Japan, where would there be a little surplus money to reform and rebuild our army and navy, as it is now? This Grand Duke of St. Vladimir, you deserve it! ”

"Poof." Speaking of this, Sanya raised her head and kissed Qingying's thin lips lightly; She flipped her fingers and pinned a gorgeous medal made of red diamonds to Qingying's left chest. Looking at the extra heavy and exotic medal full of Eastern European style on his chest, Qingying had mixed feelings in his heart: ridiculous, embarrassing, bitter, and unbearable...... All kinds of thoughts overlapped and churned in his heart, and a trace of complexity quietly appeared on his face.

Prior to this, the core purpose of Qing Ying's purchase of various resources and primary industrial products from Russia was to enhance Germany's strategic reserves and give it more war potential in future wars. However, what he did not expect was that although Germany had lowered the purchase price of Russia to a considerable extent, the final result was that, as Sonia said, his move did play a role in promoting Russia's financial economy. As a large amount of oil, ore, cotton and linen and other materials were continuously sent to Germany for storage through steam trains, Russia's financial pockets gradually swelled up in the massive small profits and quick turnover, and its economic crisis after the Russo-Japanese War was improved to a considerable extent.

The improvement of Russia's economic situation is directly reflected in its naval construction. In 1907, Russia ordered a battle cruiser "Rurik II" with a displacement of 18,000 tons from Britain; According to the naval revival plan proposed by the Russian Admiralty, they were to start construction of three large battleships for the Baltic Fleet in the coming 1909. If you count their possible investment in the Black Sea Fleet, the pace of construction is almost as bad as the same period in history, and Russia in this plane suffered far more huge losses in the war against Japan than in history! In addition to this, the Russian Army also began to carry out gradual reforms; Although the pace is slow, it is much better than the situation in 1905.

Regarding this situation, Qingying could only express helplessness. Germany needed a large amount of basic supplies to increase its continued potential in the war, and Russia was the country of choice to be able to supply Germany with the necessary supplies cheaply and in large quantities. If you choose to import oil and other primary industrial products from the United States, the labor costs caused by its national income, which are far superior to Russia's, and its geographical location, which is not strategically afraid of Germany, will greatly increase the price per unit compared with buying from Russia. According to the projections of the German Ministry of Finance, the price of Germany's imports of primary industrial products to the United States will be more than 70 percent higher than that of those purchased from Russia.

Thus, although the purchase of primary industrial goods from Russia would increase Russia's foreign exchange reserves, so that it would give the Russian government a boost in terms of debt credit and the funds that could be used, Germany could not find a second seller who could replace Russia from a cost point of view. The price of the United States is high, and the United Kingdom has begun to fight a trade war with Germany through various measures such as raising tariffs in the context of the current Anglo-German competition; France does not even think about it, and the resources of South American countries are not comprehensive, and they cannot completely replace Russia. The only consolation to Qingying was that Germany could carry out scissor-difference trade plundering against Russia by exporting cutting-edge goods: cutting-edge equipment such as large bearings and precision machine tools could be sold for a huge amount of primary industrial goods!

"Why, aren't you glad that Cousin Nicholas has awarded you a medal?" Seeing Qingying's complicated expression and not saying a word for a long time, the corners of Sanya's mouth twitched, and there was already a slight hint of anger in her words.

Qingying came back to her senses and said with a smile: "How could it be, I just couldn't believe it for a while, after all, this is the highest honor that is only awarded to Russian saints!" Seeing Qingying's sincere words, a happy smile bloomed on Sonia's delicate face, and she snorted coquettishly: "This is the flattered attitude that stupid Ettel should have." If it weren't for Lady Sanya's hard work, how could you have been awarded such a medal? In order to repay Lady Sonya's kindness, you must have Lady Sonia on there tonight. After saying the last sentence, the little princess's snow-white cheeks couldn't help but glow with a pink red cloud.

Hearing Sanya's coquettish words with a deep attachment to herself, Qingying couldn't help but feel a warm current of emotion in her heart. Before the princess creature met her, the young men of the Romanov dynasty who were madly in love with her could form an army, in which the noble prince Toshihiko of the wealthy family was as worthless as a cabbage in front of her; However, when she played a song for her in the piano room of the Winter Palace to accompany you, Sonia threw away the countless young princes who pursued him, and tied a heart to her for more than ten years. He gently stroked the little princess's fresh and bright waterfall-like long hair, and said with a smile: "As long as I can satisfy Lord Sanya, I can do whatever I want, even if I give up the next day's work and work all night." ”

"Really?" Hearing Qingying's assurance, Sanya's water-cut eyes bloomed with brilliant and bright excitement. After a moment, the princess creature didn't know what to think, and a hint of pink mist appeared on her pretty white face; The pink lilac licked and curled around the moist cherry lips, as if she were in need of something delicious. Seeing Sonya's action, how Qingying, who had been to Wushan with her countless times, didn't understand her thoughts; He patted Sanya's head and said hesitantly, "Don't worry, I didn't meet your needs one day?" But for some time to come, I won't be able to satisfy you. ”

"No, you have to give it to someone every time!" Sonia was dissatisfied, and her soft and delicate body writhed in Qingying's arms like a snake; The round and fragrant buttocks rub and squeeze, bringing Xiao Qingying an excellent dreamy touch. Being teased and begged by this stunning princess, an irrepressible fire suddenly rose in Qingying's lower abdomen, and he put his lips to Sanya's ear and whispered in a slightly hoarse voice: "No." Because now, it's time to have a child.
