Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

That night, Tina spent a whole day in the office building of the Congress in order to draft the terms with the United States, and fell asleep in the middle of the night. Tina has worked overtime since she became the prime minister.

Of course, she has great reputation as Prime Minister, and because several proposals were passed successfully and brought practical benefits to most people, although her reputation is not one-sided, her supporters and opponents are also at odds with each other.

At least she is really doing something, which is enough for many people to support her. The main reason is that they are afraid of comparison. If you say that everyone else is grimacing, then it will be better to vote for a panda.

Because she had been cheated by the British before, Tina now focused on the binding force of the contract. The British dared to break the treaty because it was profitable and could also constrain Prussia's development.

The United States is isolated in the Americas. This special geographical location allows them to pursue unique diplomatic strategies. The founding father of the United States, Washington, once said at his resignation ceremony that he did not want the United States to form alliances with other countries in the world when it was inconsistent with its own interests. form any form of military alliance or hostility.

Therefore, it is impossible for Prussia to reach any mutual defense treaty with the United States, and trade treaties will naturally be greatly restricted. Tina not only has to convince Hamlin, but also has to be logical and consistent to make the American people accept such a trade bill. .

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Tina had just woken up from the hard desk in the office. Her neck was very sore, as if she had a stiff neck.

Although it is a high-end table, it is not something that can make people sleep well.

"Miss Tina, are you awake?" Valentina's voice came to her ears, and she opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine into Tina's office.

"It's so dazzling..."

"This is the most efficient method when Miss August is sleeping in."

"Where did you learn it from..."

Valentina made Tina a cup of coffee, which tasted okay and was perfect for getting rid of sleepiness.

Tina asked, "Valentina, don't you have to follow August today?"

Valentina: "Of course I do, but Miss August asked me to come over and see you. Although this contract is very important, it's not worth the loss if you hurt yourself."

Tina stretched and said with a smile, "If there are senior government officials who work normally and don't work overtime, can this be considered a normal schedule for me? By the way, I have something to ask, General Staff Officer Are there any big changes at the ministry?"

"That's not true, but Marshal Steinmetz is not in good health recently. The old marshal is very old and may need a replacement."

"Is that so? It doesn't matter, let him persist. The change of the deputy minister of the General Staff now has a great impact on the Military Reform Committee. Moreover, there are so many people in the army now, and it is not easy to control. Although the old marshal has mediocre organizational skills, But the reputation is still nothing to say, if you can persist, just persist a little longer.”

"I understand."

"What was the production volume of the latest model of Mauser rifle last month?"

"The total quantity is probably between [-] and [-] guns, right? I'm not very clear on the specific data. This is usually handled by the Military Supplies Department. Since the Military Supplies Department verified it in the past two weeks, it was calculated as an excess, so Now we can only know roughly.”

"That's too much... Those guys from the General Staff are actually greedy for this... Forget it, I don't have time to care about them, just think of it as [-]. Tell August, I plan to give the most advanced ones The quantity of rifles sold to the United States is currently considered to be [-] in one batch!"

"Hey?!"

……

At the munitions department, Valentina was a little embarrassed and told the munitions minister Gelena about this astonishing amount. Gelena was dumbfounded and looked at Valentina with wide eyes.

"Did the Prime Minister get angry today? How could he make such a nonsense decision? This will seriously weaken the combat capability of our army!"

If you want to sell it, just sell it. A small part actually doesn't matter, but you just sell all the guns you produce. How can you bear this?

First of all, military supplies are very sensitive. You can't say how serious the impact will be on Prussia if this matter is discovered.

But Tina didn't care, she insisted on selling, she even wanted to sell the cannon, and Grena directly went to August.

Groner's temper was a bit similar to that of Steinmetz. They were both aggressive, but he was still a little calmer than the old marshal. When he got to August, he didn't yell, but simply told August the pros and cons. Gust.

"If this matter is known to Britain and France, we will be called the party that provoked the war, and we will also be left with the excuse of supporting a certain regime in the United States!"

If Prussia is a normal businessman, then in theory it can be sold to the United States of America, and then it can naturally be sold to the Confederate States of America. Both sides claim to be the legitimate spokesperson of the United States.

If Prussia only talks about arms deals with the United States of America, and excludes the Confederate States of America, it will feel like Prussia believes that the United States of America is the legitimate representative of the United States, and Prussia supports the United States of America.

There are conditions for smearing others. If you admit that the United States is a country, but you only talk to one of them, can others understand that you are using your own resources as a bargaining chip to interfere in other countries' internal affairs? ?

"Mr. Groner, don't worry. I don't intend to object to this kind of thing. I'm just selling arms. It's useless to put so many guns in the warehouse anyway. Why not exchange them for money? Isn't it more cost-effective?"

"Your Highness the Regent, you are too naive. If Britain and France make diplomatic protests against us for selling weapons to warring countries, what will we do?"

"That's easy to handle. Wouldn't it be great if we use the same words to deal with Britain and France? They say that we sell weapons to the United States. We can say that it is a transaction. What about the weapons that they directly support for the Allied Powers?"

"Hey? Is this the case?"

"Mr. Grena, you are too young. Don't things you don't know exist? I don't know if they have sold weapons to the United States. Anyway, if you start spreading rumors, let's just say that Britain and France will bear the blame."

"Forehead……"

"Of course you don't need to consider the evidence. God has said that it doesn't have to have this thing. Although our media is not as powerful as the British and French, when the two sides are debating, the microphone cannot be given to only one person, so the topic will be reduced. , in fact, you don’t have to worry about this issue, I have no objection.”

"So that's it, the matter of military reform..."

"I forgot to mention that Tina is solely responsible for military reform. There's no point in looking for me!"
