It seems that he has a chaotic relationship with Countess Leonie, and everything can always be involved with this countess, Wang Weiyi is somewhat helpless.

This mysterious and powerful woman had better provoke her less.

But for the sake of four million Reichsmarks, I had to go hard.

Steward Depsie was not at all surprised when he saw Baron Alexon. From the first minute Ernst and his party entered Berlin, Depsie, who was also very powerful, knew that they had arrived.

When I came to the living room, I saw the Countess of Leonie today, dressed in black, which looked more mysterious and charming, and opposite her, sat a woman dressed very simply.

She must be Hermione.

"Baron Alexon." Seeing Wang Weiyi appear, Countess Leonie was very happy: "Come on, we are talking about you, Depsie, pour a glass of wine for the baron."

"This is Baron Alexon, the pride of Germany, and they prefer to call him Baron Skeleton." Countess Léonne introduced to the woman opposite, "And this low-key lady, Ernst, I must introduce you well." She's Hermione. Madam Wittgenstein: Do you know his father, Karl? We are Germans, and we are the richest people in Austria-Hungary, but the artistic talent of the Wittgensteins far exceeds their wealth."

Sure enough, it was Hermione, the head of the Wittgenstein family, a lady who had never married in her life. He will sail alone with the Wittgenstein family in the First and Second World Wars

"Ms. Wittgenstein, it's an honor to meet you." Wang Weiyi was polite and authentic.

"Baron Alexon, I'm honored to know you." Hermione also said very politely, "I'm curious. Why would you be called a Skeleton Baron? ”

"It's about the badge I'm wearing." Wang Weiyi pointed to the unique skull badge on the neckline.

"When I entered Berlin, I saw a lot of young people wearing such badges, and it turned out to be your reason, it seems that you are very popular in Germany." Hermione smiled, "The Countess has introduced you to me many times, your respectable personality, and your excellence on the battlefield. If you have the chance, I hope you will come to my place."

Hermione was very low-key. Judging from the outside and the tone of his voice, there is no indication that he is the head of a huge business empire.

In Xiaoling's introduction, this woman's persistence is not inferior to that of men, probably the richer the person, the more low-key she is

Hermione and the Countess were very good friends. Even the Countess had many of her assets in the hands of the Wittgenstein family, and they had an impure relationship with each other.

In the introduction of the countess, the Wittgenstein family could have been promoted to nobility, but Karl . Wittgenstein, however, surprisingly rejected the title of nobility. He once said he was a Wittgenstein. and don't want to be an ordinary "Earl of Ring Street".

And. Cal. Wittgenstein was also reluctant to accept the title of nobility that Austria-Hungary had given him, and he was born in Germany and cared more about German titles, spreading rumors on several occasions that his family might be the German nobleman Sain. An illegitimate son of the Wittgenstein family.

He would rather say that he was the illegitimate son of a German nobleman, and he would never have accepted the canonization of the nobility of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but he left Germany and settled in Austria. Wittgenstein's complex, elusive personality.

Under his influence, all of his children had a strong sense of affinity with Germany, with the exception of the most rebellious youngest son, Ludwig. Wittgenstein: They were close. And respect the Germans, who are all nobles, and are willing to make friends with them.

And Wang Weiyi, who has the status of a baron. Apparently won over Hermione very quickly. Wittgenstein's favorability

Hermione then said: "Countess, your investment in the United Sickle Plant in Yudenburg and the Alps Metallurgical Group has increased eleven times in the last year."

Wang Weiyi was stunned to hear it. God, it's multiplied eleven times all at once? What kind of concept is this? Of course, thanks to this war, the rest of the steel will always be the fastest in the war.

Countess Léonne was not surprised at all, perhaps because of her wealth, or perhaps because she herself had no great concept of money.

"We have acquired 70% of Alpsmetallic shares, but we are not going to continue to increase our holdings this year," Hermione continued, "However, we are ready to acquire seven companies in the UK and US, which would be a huge investment"

"Don't increase the shares of the Alps Metallurgical Group? That's a company that can bring in a lot of money. Britain and the United States? What are you going to do there? The Countess asked curiously.

Wang Weiyi understood at once

Hermione was a very attentive woman, and she could see something from Wang Weiyi's expression at once: "Baron Alexon, do you have anything to say?" ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Do you want to transfer huge assets abroad?" Let the Wittgensteins gradually move out of Austria? ”

Hermione was a little surprised, and Baron Alexon immediately got to the heart of the matter. She thought that although the other party was famous, it was a reputation established on the battlefield, and she didn't know much about business, but she didn't expect such a result

Hermione nodded: "Yes, Baron Alexon, while my father was still alive, he began to transfer huge assets abroad, especially in the United States, and now, I am just carrying out my father's plan, and I am even more determined now."

"For what?" The Countess became more and more curious.

Obviously, Hermione and the Countess had an extraordinary relationship, and in front of the Countess, Hermione did not hide the slightest: "Because we are not optimistic that the Allies will win this war"

The Countess was taken aback, and even her hand trembled as she held the glass.

A man who has the dual identity of Germany and Austria-Hungary, but is not optimistic that his country can win this war?

Wang Weiyi was also a little surprised, this woman's observation was so keen?

Hermione said with a very solemn expression, "Baron Alexon, I didn't mean to offend you and your army. The courage of the German army on the battlefield is extraordinary, and I am confident that they will be able to win one victory after another, especially you, Baron Alexon, who I am not at all curious if you can be promoted to general before the end of the war, but war is not only won by the bravery of the soldiers."

Her words completely attracted the attention of the countess, and Hermione's voice was a little depressed: "War is a contest of national strength, from the first day of the outbreak of the war to the present, the main combat power of the Allies is Germany, the finances are already very tight, and the resources are about to be exhausted, unless we can end the war in two years, and this is without the participation of other countries."

"Other countries? What country are you referring to? The Countess asked earnestly.

Hermione smiled bitterly, "America." You have learned that the United States has always maintained neutrality in the past, but some forces with ulterior motives have been tarnishing Germany's image everywhere and trying to make American public opinion tilt to their side. At this point, we have to admit that we have done far less than our enemies, and what is even more surprising to me is that Germany has declared an unrestricted submarine war, I wonder what they think, is it necessary to force the United States to join the ranks of the war? ”

"Can America's entry into the war change the course of the war?" The Countess was a little unconvinced: "Their soldiers are as brave as ours?" Their officers have our officer sagacity? ”

"None of them. Their soldiers are inferior to ours, and their officers are equally inferior to ours. Hermione said frankly: "In terms of the quality of the army, they are too far from the Germans. ”

The Countess breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why care about the attitude of the United States? ”

"As I have already said, wars are not won only by the bravery of the army." Hermione said slowly: "In addition to the army, the United States has a strong national strength, they can continue to provide supplies to Britain and France, so that these two countries that should have collapsed continue to maintain their combat capability, on the contrary, they have dragged Germany into a bottomless pit, when our economy begins to collapse, and the United States enters the war at the most opportune time, then the fate of defeat is inevitable." Countess, you haven't been to the United States, so you don't know what kind of country it is. ”

The countess didn't know what to do, but Wang Weiyi did.

In the two world wars, the United States reaped the benefits and ended the war as the savior. If there is no country, who will be the last victor in the World War?

A businessman always has the sharpest sense of smell, especially in a family as large as Wittgenstein.

Despite the excellent performance of the German army on the battlefield, they were not optimistic about German victory for a long time.

"What do you think, Baron Alexon?" The Countess turned her gaze to Wang Weiyi.

Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly: "Although I don't want to admit it, what Ms. Wittgenstein said is correct. (To be continued.) )
