At 8:30 p.m., Mavi and Yunia arrived at Villa 5 next door, and the third prince Andrew had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Mr. Nicholas, haha! I thought you were having a lot of fun with Charles and Shukry and didn't want to come! ”

As soon as they met, the third prince Andrew gave Ma Wei a dismissal.

How did he know that Mavi had gone to the villa of the eldest prince Charles and the second prince Shukri?

The Regent's Park area is large, covering an area of 3,000 acres, with a total area of two million square meters, and a giant artificial lake, which was once the royal hunting forest of Henry VIII, and later transformed into a park during the time of the Regent.

Although the 56 villas are concentrated in the central area of Regent's Park, due to the size of the park, even the houses next to each other are not far from each other, and it is impossible to see the other villas with the naked eye.

It was still night, and the visibility in the foggy capital of London was even lower, and the third prince Andrew said that Ma Wei's movements had a deterrent connotation in itself.

His meaning is already obvious, and I know it wherever you go.

The third prince Andrew is so arrogant because standing behind him is Cardinal Liviu who believes in the goddess of sin Tilde, and more than half of the members of the witcher are followers of the goddess of sin Tyrde.

Wild, the goddess of health, and Nanelde, the goddess of wealth, are not combat-type gods, they do have great strength, but they are not as good as their sister Tilde in terms of fighting.

This situation also led to the third prince Andrew's high reputation and influence in the Witcher Organization, and in order to counterbalance him, Pascal Ramos, who believed in Wild, the goddess of health, was elected director of the Witcher's London headquarters.

But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that even Pascal cannot control his subordinates well.

"Your Highness, forgive me." Ma Wei took off his hat and pressed it on his chest: "It's really the eldest prince and the second prince who are so kind that they have been delayed for a little time." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way!"

The third prince, Andrew, did not continue to question, but affectionately grabbed Ma Wei's left wrist and pulled him towards the banquet hall.

The bright and palatial banquet hall is not as lively as the villas of the eldest prince and the second prince, but is filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the members who attended the dinner of the third prince are mostly some military generals, who are wearing military uniforms, with straight waists and murderous eyes in their eyes.

Ma Wei knew a lot of them, the Army, the Royal Navy, some of them knew each other, some of them didn't, they only knew each other, but at least they could name them.

"Mr. Nicholas, this is Baron Edwin, the current Field Marshal of the Kingdom of Windsor, and this is the Marquis of James, Admiral, and Commodore Simeone of the Royal Navy....."

The owner of each name was a big man who Ma Wei could not look up to before, after all, he was only a small naval lieutenant before, and if it weren't for the Crowley family, it would be impossible to meet these generals.

But....

There are really a lot of acquaintances.

Baron Edwin and Marquis James, these two led the First and Second Armies to attack the Romanov Kingdom not long ago, among which the Marquis James was the worst, first attacked by Katerina, and then chased all the way, losing his armor, if he hadn't run fast, it was estimated that he would have been buried in the ground of the Romanov Kingdom.

Compared with Katerina, Baron Edwin's battle against Duke Yovanovich was much gentler, and there were several major battles between the two sides, but Duke Yovanovich's tactical style was different from that of Katerina, who was brave and brave, preferring to arrange troops and posing far less threat to the enemy's rear than Katerina.

If you have to use a metaphor, Duke Yovanovich is like a hammer, facing the enemy's strongest defenses head-on, and Katerina is a sharp knife aimed at the enemy's henchmen.

As for Commodore Simeone of the Royal Navy ....

When Mavi shook hands with him, he couldn't help but use a little more force in his hands, and he held them for a longer time than the others, which confused Simeone.

The reason is clear only to Ma Wei himself.

Simeone was also a survivor of the Battle of Perea, and he had obviously mixed well over the years, and although he came from a humble background, he was also promoted to brigadier general with the covert help of the Crowley family. His previous military rank was major, and when he returned from the naval battle of Perea, he jumped two levels and was promoted to colonel, and it took several years to be promoted to the level of brigadier general.

Of course, there is no comparison with Toure Crowley, who has soared all the way up and upgraded faster than riding a rocket, behind Toure is the Duke of Crowley's family, and his service in the Royal Navy is itself gilded.

There is a huge gap between colonel and brigadier general, and some colonels find it difficult to step into the realm of general-level officers in their lifetime, Ma Wei suspects....

Simone took this step in the past few years because he took refuge with Andrew, the third prince who is quite prestigious in the military circles.

It is not difficult to see from Simeone's situation that the survivors of the fleet of Saint-Martine have had their own opportunities during these years.

"Yin Di! Come here! ”

After introducing the guests, the third prince, Andrew, summoned a little boy, about six or seven years old, also wearing a military uniform, and a genuine revolver pinned to his waist, but not loaded.

"Take your Emma sister to play, she likes to eat snacks." The third prince, Andrew, patted the back of his son's head: "I have something serious to talk about with your Uncle Nicholas." ”

"Got it, father."

Yin Di walked up to Yunia, pointed to the pastry area not far away and said, "There are a lot of desserts there, let's go." ”

Yunia glanced up at Ma Wei, and after seeing Ma Wei nodding in agreement, she followed Yin Di to leave, but the interest was not very high, it should be because she ate a lot of snacks at the eldest prince's house.

"Mr. Nicholas...."

The third prince, Andrew, asked the waiter to bring two glasses of whiskey, picked up one of them and said, "I am a straight person, I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak, and I ask for your forgiveness if there is any offense." ”

"Your Highness, please speak." Ma Wei picked up another glass of whiskey and held it in his hand.

"When do you think this particular industry is most effective?"

"Potions are very strange, different potions have different effects, and they are suitable for different occasions, and I think potions are a very accommodating industry, and there is no specific suitable goal."

"I don't think so." The third prince, Andrew, shook his head slowly: "The army is the most suitable for the development of the potions industry, for example, the mercury blood sold in your store is itself a special medicine for transcendent races, and the sleeping bread can also be used to relieve the mental pressure of the soldiers, not to mention Hercules' stick, the person who takes it can be infinitely powerful, isn't this a potion tailored for the army?" ”

"That's fine."

The third prince, Andrew, nodded with satisfaction: "Let me give you another number, do you know how big an order you can sign if the army purchases potions from you?" ”

"I really don't know about this, please let Your Highness explain."

"The year before last, the military expenditure of the Kingdom of Windsor was 60 million gold pounds, and during the war last year, the military expenditure was increased to 100 million gold pounds." Andrew, the third prince, narrowed his eyes and said: "Among them, the amount of military spending for the purchase of materials is about 30 million gold pounds, which is not fixed, and it will be higher when war breaks out." ”

It's really high, but....

"Your Highness, as far as I know, the army of the Windsor Kingdom, which has the realm of immortality, does not need to purchase a large number of medicines, so the expenditure on medicines is almost zero."

"This was true the year before last, everyone thought that there was no need to buy medicines, but the actual situation was completely different." The third prince, Andrew, sighed: "We all think that physical injuries determine everything, but in fact, mental pressure is also very important, soldiers will not die, but pain, pressure and tension are unavoidable, in the long run, it will cause mental problems that are difficult to repair, and the realm of immortality cannot be cured." ”

So half a year ago, the military put some drugs that can relieve mental stress back on the purchase list and increased the purchase, but the price of cocaine and marijuana is generally high, and the addiction is also extremely high, if there are better alternatives.... I mean, isn't the sleeping bread you sell in your store a perfect alternative to cocaine and marijuana? ”

"Potions, in the future, will definitely become the target of the army's large-scale procurement, my preliminary estimate, the kingdom's annual military expenditure will not be less than 20 million gold pounds, rationed supply to soldiers, whoever gets the supply contract, who will have a huge amount of wealth!"

The benefits of cooperating with the army are, of course, enormous, and the contract is generally signed for three to five years, which will not be easily canceled, and the stability is high enough.

The meaning of the third prince Andrew, Ma Wei has already heard it very clearly.

Defect to his camp and you will get the contract provided by the army!

At that time, the witchers may come to him to buy potions....

How much is 20 million gold pounds?

In this conversion, it is equivalent to one-fifth of the financial revenue of the Romanov Kingdom for the whole year before the outbreak of the war!

Now the Romanov Kingdom, whose trade is restricted, has seen its fiscal revenue plummet, less than half of what it was before the war, 20 million gold pounds....

It can solve the urgent need!

Seeing Ma Wei's contemplative and solemn expression, the third prince Andrew took a sip of whiskey, smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a child's cry came from not far away.

Andrew and Mavi turned around and saw Yin Di running crying.

"Father! Father! Emma she hit me!
