Chapter 48: A Mess

Money is hard to come by, and middlemen are not easy to find. To want this middleman, first and foremost, three basic elements are necessary: first, having a good relationship with the Russians; second, possessing a certain level of financial capability; third, not being influenced by the Russian-Austrian interests.
