Father Mavie

Chapter 491 Third Prince Andrew (please subscribe!!!)
At 8:30 in the evening, Mavi and Junia arrived at the No. 5 villa next door. The third prince Andrew had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Mr. Nicholas, haha! I thought you were so happy with Charles and Shukri that you didn't want to come!"

As soon as they met, the third prince Andrew gave Mavi a blow.

How did he know that Mavi went to the villa of the eldest prince Charles and the second prince Shukri?
The Regent's Park area is very large, covering an area of ​​3000 mu, with a total area of ​​200 million square meters. There is also a huge artificial lake, which was once the royal hunting forest of Henry VIII, and was later transformed into a park during the Regent period.

Although the 56 villas are concentrated in the central area of ​​Regent's Park, due to the large area of ​​the park, even the adjacent houses are far away from each other, and other villa areas cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye.

It was still night, and the visibility in the foggy city of London was even lower. The third prince Andrew's statement of Mavi's movements had a deterrent meaning in itself.

His meaning is already obvious, no matter where you go, I know it.

The third prince Andrew was so arrogant because standing behind him was Archbishop Liviu, who believed in the goddess of sin, Tilde, and more than half of the members of the witcher were followers of the goddess of sin, Tilde.

The goddess of health, Wilde, and the goddess of wealth, Nande, are not fighting gods. They do have powerful power, but they are not as good as their sister Tild in terms of fighting.

This situation also led to the high reputation and far-reaching influence of the third prince Andrew in the Witcher organization. In order to check and balance him, Pascal Ramos, who believed in the goddess of health Wilde, was elected as the director of the Witcher 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 hard to refuse the kindness of the eldest prince and the second prince, and it took a little time."

"No problem, no problem!"

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

The bright and majestic banquet hall is not as lively as the villas of the first and second princes, but filled with a solemn atmosphere. The members who participated in the third prince's dinner were mostly military generals, and they came in military uniforms. His back was straight, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Mavie knew many of them, from the Army and the Royal Navy, some very, some not, only once, but at least they could be called by name.

"Mr. Nicholas, this is Baron Edwin, the current Field Marshal of the Kingdom of Windsor, and this is the Marquess of James, Admiral, and Commodore Simone."

The owner of each name was a big man that Mavi could not reach before. After all, he was just a small lieutenant in the navy before. If it weren't for the relationship of the Crowley family, it would be impossible to meet these general-level officers.

but
There are really a lot of acquaintances.

Baron Edwin and Marquis James led the first and second armies to attack the Kingdom of Romanov not long ago. Among them, Marquis James was the worst. He was first attacked by Katerina and then pursued all the way. Fighting, throwing away armor and armor, if not for running fast, it is estimated that he would have been buried underground in the Romanov Kingdom.

Compared with Katerina, Duke Ivanovic, whom Baron Edwin faced, was much gentler, and several battles broke out between the two sides, but Duke Ivanovic's tactical style and the courageous Katerina Unlike Katerina, she prefers to line up troops, and is far less threatening to the enemy's rear than Katerina.

If I insist on a metaphor, Duke Ivanovich is like a hammer, facing the enemy's most solid defense head-on, while Katerina is a sharp knife, the blade is aimed directly at the enemy's heart.

As for Royal Navy Commodore Simonyi.
When Ma Wei shook hands with him, he couldn't help using a little more force in his hand, and the holding time was longer than others, which made Simeone confused.

The reason is only clear to Mavi himself.

Simeone is also a survivor of the Pereia naval battle. He has obviously done well in recent years. Although he came from a humble background, he was also promoted to brigadier general with the secret help of the Crowley family.His previous military rank was a major. After returning from the Pereia naval battle, he jumped two ranks and was promoted to a colonel. After a few years of hard work, he was promoted to the level of a brigadier general.

Of course, it is incomparable with Toure Crowley, who has soared all the way and upgraded faster than riding a rocket. Behind Toure is the Duke Crowley family. He went to serve in the Royal Navy to be gilded.

From colonel to brigadier general, there is a huge gap that ordinary people cannot overcome. Some colonels will find it difficult to step into the field of general officers in their entire lives, Ma Wei doubts.
Simeone took this step in the past few years because he took refuge in the third prince Andrew, who is quite prestigious in the military.

It is not difficult to see from Simeone's situation that in the past few years, the survivors of the Saint-Martil fleet have had their own experiences.

"Edie! Come here!"

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

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

"I know my father."

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

Junia looked up at Mavi, and after seeing Mavi nodded in agreement, she left with Edie, but she didn't look very interested, probably 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 straightforward person, and I don't like to beat around the bush. Please forgive me if I offend you."

"Your Highness, please tell me." Mavi picked up another glass of whiskey and held it in his hand.

"In your opinion, the special industry of potion, under what circumstances can it play its role best?"

"Potions are all kinds of strange things. Different potions have different effects and are suitable for different occasions. I think potions are a highly flexible industry, and there is no specific and suitable target."

"I don't think so." The third prince Andrew shook his head slowly: "The army is the most suitable for the development of the potion industry. For example, the blood of mercury sold in your store is a special medicine for extraordinary races. Sleeping bread can also It is used to relieve the mental stress of the soldiers, not to mention Hercules' stick, the people who take it can be powerful, isn't this a potion tailored for the army?"

"If you understand it this way, there is nothing wrong with it."

The third prince Andrew nodded in satisfaction: "Let me tell you another figure. Do you know how big an order you can sign if the army purchases potions from you?"

"I'm really not sure about this, please clarify, Your Highness."

"The year before last, the military expenditure of the Kingdom of Windsor was 6000 million gold pounds. During the war last year, the military expenditure increased to 1 million gold pounds." The third prince Andrew narrowed his eyes and said: "Among them, the amount of military expenditure used to purchase materials is about Around 3000 million gold pounds, this value is not fixed, and it will be higher when a war breaks out."

It's really high, though.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, the army of the Kingdom of Windsor, which has the domain of immortality, does not need to buy a lot of medicines, so the expenditure on medicines is almost zero."

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

"So half a year ago, the military put some drugs that can relieve mental stress back into the purchase list and increased the purchase. However, drugs such as cocaine and marijuana are generally expensive and highly addictive. If there is A better substitute, I mean, isn’t the sleepy bread you sell in your store a perfect substitute for cocaine and marijuana?”

"Potions will definitely become a target for the army to purchase in large quantities in the future. According to my initial estimates, the military expenditure approved by the Kingdom every year will not be less than 2000 million gold pounds, and the soldiers will be provided with a fixed amount. Whoever gets the supply contract will have a huge amount wealth!"

The benefits of cooperating with the military are of course extremely huge, and the contracts are usually signed for three to five years, they will not be canceled easily, and the stability is high enough.

Mavi already understood what the third prince Andrew meant.

If you join his camp, you will be able to get a contract from the army!

At that time, the witcher might also come to him to buy potions
How much is 2000 million gold pounds?

In conversion, it is equivalent to one-fifth of the fiscal revenue of the whole year before the outbreak of the Romanov Kingdom War!
Today, the Romanov Kingdom, which is in ruins and whose trade is restricted, has seen a sharp drop in financial revenue, less than half of what it was before the war, 2000 million pounds.
It can solve the urgent need!
Seeing Ma Wei's thoughtful expression, the third prince Andrew took a sip of whiskey, smiled and was about to speak when suddenly the cry of a child came from not far away.

Andrew and Mavie turned their heads and saw Edie running up crying.

"Father! Father! Emma hit me!!!"
