Chapter 244 In-depth Cooperation
“What?” Frederick shouted in surprise, “Some of you proposed to attack Weisen State?”
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked The person who came with the news was Theresia's half-sister Princess Mary.
Mary is in her early twenties. She is the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and the third queen. She is also a squadron leader of the Fire Dragon Knights of the Osmaga Empire. She has a close relationship with the military. This matter should Not fake.
She gloated there: "Haha, who told you to tell your father the day before yesterday that your territory is so rich? Of course some people will take risks for the sake of money."
Frederick smiled, and what he was doing was not affected in the slightest. He just said: "It doesn't matter, just come."
Mary stretched out her hand to brush away the gray hair on her cheeks, and looked deeply with her eyes. He asked: "How should you thank me for bringing you such important news?"
The corner of Frederick's mouth curled up slightly, he glanced at the sunset outside the bathroom window, and gently stroked it with one hand. With her long hair, her other hand slowly slid over the scar on the left side of her neck, and she replied seriously: "You don't have to sleep tonight."
Sunset and sunrise, the book will not go into details.
At lunch the next day, the two well-dressed people began to talk about business cooperation.
Mary said bluntly: "I want to purchase a batch of weapons and military supplies. I want the military weapons you are using. I will pay for them with water magic crystals and ice magic crystals."
Frederick said to this man who spoke and acted I like the princess who does what she says without beating around the bush.
Mary is not a little princess with no power like Theresia, but a count who has a large territory and has led troops and fought in battles. In addition to the scars on her neck, there are more than ten arrow wounds on the front of her body and swords. Multiple wounds, two serious spear wounds.
Such a princess wanted to purchase weapons in large quantities, and Frederick couldn't help but think about Xuanwu Gate.
“Who are you purchasing on behalf of?” Frederick asked her, “The Osmaga Empire? The Fire Dragon Knights? An interest group? Or yourself?”
"Myself." Mary replied while eating potatoes and beef stew. "My fiefdom is in the south. Not far from the sea to the west is Venice. Those guys who smell like gold always want to kill me so that they can occupy the entire bend of the sea. "Most of the injuries on my body were caused by them."
Frederick nodded slightly and said, "It must be that part of the Istria Peninsula. I passed by it once a few years ago."
Mary said: "Yes, the mother and the queen over there are all relatives, and they all listen to me."
Frederick sighed: "I heard your story there , I guess you got it in exchange for all the scars. I thought it would be nice to see you at that time.”
Mary said with a smile, “Haha, you can see it all now. I am recovering from my injuries and you can’t see me.”
Frederick thought for a while and asked: "Does the emperor know about this transaction?"
Mary said very openly: "Just say it. You don't have to worry about anything. You can't bear the scar on my stomach." See, I can’t have children in my life, so the competition for the throne has long been out of my hands. My focus now is to make the show more exciting for my father, otherwise I could have taken advantage of you yesterday.”
"What I want to do now is to kill those people in Venice. If not, I will disgust them to death."
Frederick was stunned. Yesterday he only knew that she had an abdominal injury. He did not expect it to be so serious. .
“Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll kick your balls out!” Mary was a little angry when she noticed a hint of comfort in his eyes, “Do you think I’m a peacock in the garden, like Theresia? They are so weak and weak, I stared at them all and ran away with their pants up. They didn’t even dare to fight. No matter if they were men or they had power, they just waited for others to give them.”
"I guess Theresa told you that she was frightened by the death of her fourth aunt and wanted to escape from the city of Venn, right? The death of her fourth aunt is a tragedy, but it is not difficult to find out who did it. Fourth Aunt He was a nice person, and my mother even asked me to go to the monastery and tell me that she could help Theresia. In fact, my father had already investigated clearly at that time, and the murderer had his legs broken by his father and is now under house arrest. She just wanted to train Theresia. As long as she is willing to investigate, it will take less than five days to find out."
"But she is not willing to investigate, and she is not willing to run. If she dares to follow you this time, we will be our brothers. My sister will look down on her. So what if she stays with you as long as she dares to? She won’t even dare to have an illegitimate child with you.”
“Don’t do that. I regard her as a person like me. I am a fire dragon flying in the sky. I can do whatever I want, and I will die even if I don’t want to do it. "I respect you as a hero. If you play that trick with me to coax the little girl." , I will look down on you in this life, just as if you drank too much and slept with a dog yesterday."
Frederick raised his glass to salute her, and drank it in one gulp.
He thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "In addition to the arms trade, we can also have deeper cooperation."
Mary raised a brow and said with a smile: "Deeper than last night?"
Frederick ignored her antics and continued: "Now that the goods from the sea bend want to reach us, if you take the land route, you must first get on and off the ship in Venice, and then pass through the White Mountains where the roads are dangerous, there are many monsters, and the climate is changeable. This It takes almost half a month for a carriage to travel, and it takes a long time to travel by water. "
"If you build a port in your territory, and then build a railway from the east around the White Mountains, connecting to Wien on the way. City, Mingxing City, and finally arrived at our Oak City, in a few days.”
After hearing this, Mary stopped her lunch and began to think.
She had heard about the railway that Frederick mentioned. It could pull a lot of goods at one time and was cost-effective in transporting people and goods.
If such a railway could really be built to allow overland cargo transportation to bypass Venice, it would be tantamount to snatching half a bowl of fat from their bowl.
Mary said to Frederick: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to discuss it with my father and several brothers and sisters who have territories there."
Frederick He also said: "I also need to discuss with the Duke of Byrne. His relationship with your country is not good."
Mary nodded. They had many wars with the Duke of Byrne, but when they had enough interests In front of us, everyone can fight and do business at the same time.
Then Frederick returned to the original topic: "I can sell you the main weapons used during the Battle of the Elbe and help you train the army. This army can only be used by you to defend your territory. My condition is to purchase it. Fire dragon eggs. "
Fire dragons mostly live in the White Mountains, and there are also some in the small mountain ranges in the east and southeast. The Osmaga Empire occupies many habitats, including Mary's territory.
It’s just that the hatched fire dragon is a strategic material like the winged unicorn, and I’m afraid the Osmaga Empire will not sell it.
So Frederick did the next best thing and turned to purchasing fire dragon eggs and trying to hatch them himself.
"Hey..." Mary's face instantly became funny when she heard this, "Why, my body can't bear it anymore?"
From this we can hear the edible effects of dragon eggs.
Frederick sneered and said: "I wonder whose waist still can't straighten up."
Mary smiled and said: "I can sell you the fire dragon eggs, No one can hatch it anyway."
Frederick said to her calmly: "Tell me your conditions."
"Hehe..." Mary licked her lips.
Before she could say anything else, Frederick stood up, picked her up and left the restaurant.
