Li Xiao sighed again, a little speechless about Alexei's uprightness. It seems that this person has been hanging out with Leonid for too long, so that he has been led to be a bit too upright and old-fashioned. You see
Looking at Vishniak, he also saw his performance just now, but he was not as excited as Alexei. It was obvious that he had realized that there was something in it.
"My friend, do you think I am really a fool?" Li Xiao asked.
Alexei was stunned and replied: "Of course not, you are the smartest person I have ever met."
Li Xiao said dumbfounded: "Then why do you think I let that woman go because of face issues or because I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem?"
Alexey was stunned: "Then why did you do this?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "It's very simple, because it is more beneficial to us!"
Alexey was immediately confused, because he couldn't figure out why it would be more beneficial to let Julian go. In his opinion, that woman was a beauty and a disaster, and keeping her was equivalent to being by the side of Frederick I.
How can you keep a time bomb when it is planted?
But Li Xiao calmly replied: "Is it a bad thing for Emperor Friedrich I to leave a bomb next to him? Why don't I think so?"
Alexei immediately summoned him and said anxiously: "How can that be done? After all, he is Prince William's prospective son-in-law and our ally. If there are unstable factors around him, he can easily be exploited by the enemy! How can you be so confused?
What’s up?!”
Before Li Xiao could answer, Vishniak got ahead of him. He sighed and persuaded: "I understand what Andre meant. People like Friedrich I are actually not friendly to us."
It is indeed necessary to place bombs around him as a so-called ally. If he wants to be detrimental to us in the future, we can just detonate the bomb."
Alexei was stunned because he had never thought about it in this direction at all. He always felt that maintaining friendly relations with Prussia was very important, so he must help his allies avoid potential dangers around him.
Vishniak's words did not easily open the door to a new world for him, but doing so was really a bit awkward. It felt too immodest. Besides, even if it was just in case, it was a bit too much. After all, the relationship between Prussia and Russia
Not bad, right?
Before he could speak, Li Xiao further explained: "It's not to destroy the crown prince. To be precise, it's to better control him and prevent him from continuing to cause us trouble. My friends, think about it, like
A woman like Julianne can do things for money. The Austrians can use it, why can't we use it? If necessary, spend a small amount of money to let her blow the pillow, so that the crown prince will cause less trouble for us, or guide the crown prince to speak for us.
, isn’t this better?”
Alexey was stunned. He really didn't think in this direction. After Li Xiao broke the window paper, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
It is indeed possible to do this. A woman with no integrity like Julianne must do things for a fee. At least judging from her work for Austria, she did not do a bad job and almost caused big trouble for them.
But it is precisely because of this that Alexei becomes even more nervous, because who can guarantee that they can control this woman? Judging from the fact that she is willing to do anything for money, what if the enemy offers a higher price?
"It's easy to handle," Li Xiao replied easily, "so this time we have to give her a good beating to let her know how good we are. I will entertain her well during this trip to the United States!"
Alexey and Vishnyak were stunned again. It turned out that this was what happened. Someone dared not send Julianne to leave Europe for refuge, but took the opportunity to strike. If it came like this, it was not impossible.
Vishniak even laughed happily and said: "It's good to do this. It not only offends the crown prince, but also makes him owe us a favor. In the end, he also dealt with the woman, leaving the Austrian people in vain."
!”
Alexei was not as excited as he was. He still believed that it was too risky, so he might as well blackmail Friedrich I directly and make him be more honest for a long time in the future.
"The last thing we need now is one more enemy," Li Xiao looked at him and sighed, and said slowly: "The situation on the front line is very bad. I'm afraid Ineada's side will suffer heavy losses. At this time, being tough will offend Baden.
The Grand Duchy is too... to stabilize them and Prussia, not to mention letting them support us, at least let them maintain the status quo."
Alexey was surprised, because Li Xiao's mood had not been so low since the war broke out. Even he was like this. How bad was the front line?
Alexey asked hurriedly: "Is the situation on the front line very bad?"
Li Xiao nodded silently and sighed: "The losses on Ineada's side will be relatively large, and Britain and France are concentrating all their manpower and material resources to try to break through the mine blockade. I think with their financial resources, it is only a matter of time. Guys, the future situation
It will deteriorate rapidly, so we’d better be mentally prepared for the worst!”
Alexey and Vishniak were shocked, because although they had some psychological preparation and knew that the future situation would be very serious, they had never thought that it would be so serious. According to Li Xiao, the future might be very serious.
It would be terrible!
Alexei finally calmed down. From this point of view, it is very important to maintain relations with Prussia and related neutral countries as much as possible. This is really not the right time to offend Frederick I because of a woman. That would be too stupid.
"Okay," Alexey sighed, "who makes the situation better than the people? But now, in addition to the big trouble in the future, we have a more serious problem. Financially, we are going bankrupt. If we can't
If we obtain new financing from the Union Bank of Prussia, we will only issue bonds..."
At this point, he whispered: "It's hard to say whether anyone will buy our bonds now..."
Vishniak was shocked. He knew that Wallachia had financial problems, but he did not expect that the problem was so serious. It was going to bankruptcy. No wonder Alexei was so decisive and kind when facing Frederick I.
Be merciless.
It's just that making money is really not what he is good at. He can only look at Li Xiao helplessly, hoping that Li Xiao can find a way to solve this thorny problem.
"Let's do it step by step," Li Xiao pinched his forehead and sighed: "I will try to do Prince William's work, and I will also ask Friedrich I to speak for us, but considering the overall international situation, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult.
So on the one hand, we have to carry out a conservation campaign and suspend some non-essential projects, and on the other hand, we have to try to continue open source..."
