Damn kissing! Anna cursed this disgusting etiquette again.

Retracting his hand, Anna wiped it with her back, "Please sit down, Mr. Anthony." At this time, Abia just brought the black tea. Anthony took a sip and exclaimed, "This is the most fragrant tea I have ever tasted."

"Mr. Anthony, you are the largest agricultural machinery manufacturer in Petersburg, and your business is booming!"

"Oh," Anthony suddenly sighed, "Although the business is good, there are still a large number of customers who have not been discovered. Most of the people who come to my store to purchase machinery are rich peasants and some little nobles. There are very few noble people like His Royal Highness, you. I have sent people to promote the advantages of large agricultural machinery to the powerful palaces in Petersburg many times, but few people pay attention to it."

"Why? Using machine farming is much more efficient than artificial farming." Anna asked.

Anthony asked without answering, "Your Highness, how many farmers do you have under your command?"

"A thousand people. Why ask this?"

"That's the key," Anthony explained. "Most nobles have their own hired farmers and land. If they switch to mechanical farm tools, then the hired farmers will have nothing to do. Moreover, most of these hired farmers serve a lord for a long time or even for life. I personally think they are," Anthony suddenly hesitated when he said this.

"Speak." Anna became serious, "please tell me what you really think."

Seeing Anna's serious expression, Anthony seemed to have found an outlet for many years of humiliation. "I think these hired farmers are still not free, let me tell you, I have read books in the UK and the United States for several years. I think that in terms of agriculture, the United States is our role model. When I was in the United States, I visited many farms, and when I saw that there was no farmer in the large tracts of farmland, I was shocked. Apart from large machinery and workers operating machinery, there was only me, the visitor. Then I understood what the speed of development is."

"After returning to my motherland, when I saw countless farmers still farming with livestock, I felt a shame: Russia is too backward and we must change. Take agricultural machinery, most of the domestic machinery is imported from the United States and France. The dignified Russian Empire does not have its own machinery. I am currently working hard to raise funds to build an agricultural machinery manufacturing plant. I want to make Russia's own machinery."

"Your ideal is also mine!" Anna sincerely admired this aspiring young man, "I wonder how much money you are missing, sir, I have hundreds of thousands of rubles in deposit here."

"No, no!" Anthony shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this. I lack everything, but my friends are not short of friends. Several friends I know have promised to lend me money, and it is a low-interest loan. So the funds are enough, but" Anthony showed a helpless expression.

Anna quickly understood the other party's difficulties and patted her chest. "Mr. Anthony, all your energy is focused on running the factory. I will order the relevant departments to give you the best treatment. I think the title of the Fourth Princess of the Empire is still very important."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Anthony thanked him and proposed an idea. "Your Highness, I think after the factory is completed, it will be named after you, how about?"

"Anna Stacia Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Factory?" Anna said this difficult name and shook her head. "I don't think it's necessary, you should give it your own name." Thinking of her name being associated with those stupid machines, Anna was speechless: If you name a steamship or a train, you can consider it.

Andrei has now fallen in love with the new rifle in his hand and throws the original Mauser 98K to his subordinates. Andrei is a veteran who has served for many years and has a very loud marksmanship. Since using this new rifle, Andrei's shooting skills have gone to a higher level. Svetlana has also tried the new rifle and loves it very much: the biggest advantage of this new gun is its high firepower and can effectively make up for the technical disadvantages. For new recruits, if they can learn to use it, they will not be at a disadvantage even when facing German soldiers with well-trained Mauser rifles on the battlefield.

Overall, the new rifle was warmly welcomed by members of the Guards, and every soldier was eager to have one such rifle.

Anna is very satisfied with this, but it's over. Anna is just a princess now, and it's still difficult to make a large-scale manufacturing. The most important thing is that if you want to produce a large scale, you must first build production lines, make new machines, and organize workers to learn the production methods of new rifles. In short, although the new gun has been developed successfully, the technology of large-scale production is not yet mature. Anna had to let Tokarev and a group of gunmen and engineers concentrate on developing new gun production equipment, drawing drawings, and doing a good job of theoretical work.

That night, Anna activated the system and she wanted to check someone: Richard Zorg.

Like doctors and chefs, no matter how the times change, as long as there are still people on the earth who are alive, they will have to eat and get sick. Similarly, as long as there is a country machine, an excellent spy is the most precious talent.

How could Anna, who was quite interested in the history of World War II in her previous life, not knowing Richard Zorg? Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s take a look at the comments of later generations about Zorg: Red spy master, Red spy, the greatest spy of the 20th century!

After reading the information efficiently, Anna smiled: Zorg, born in 1895, was still a 17-year-old innocent boy at this time, well, it is still easy to train.

It is really difficult to govern a country well! Anna must improve any gaps as much as possible and prepare for power. Anthony, whom she just met, is considered a friend of the economy, Tokarev is considered a weapon expert, and Richard Zorg, the one Anna is looking for now, is an intelligence expert. Russia is a big country with many internal conflicts. Anna must establish a secret service agency that is loyal to her. To put it bluntly, it is to find a fierce and smart watchdog and look forward to this country for herself.

As a veteran, Anna understands the importance of intelligence. Look at the powerful countries in history, they have raised a group of loyal and brave watchdogs: the FBI in the United States, the KGB in the Soviet Union, the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, the Special High School in Japan, and the MI5 in the United Kingdom. Anna has given the name for the Russian secret agencies: the Russian Empire Secret Service. Of course, although it was stolen, Anna believes that her Secret Service will not become a "secret service" like Chairman Chiang's Secret Service.
