"Really? That's great."
As soon as Darsun spoke, he realized something was off, and quickly cleared his throat: "Ahem, you are helping to elevate the prestige of the Imperial Guard, how can you say you are helping me?"
Muhammad Ali rubbed his coffee cup and smiled: "I heard someone say, if Austria defeats the Prussians, then they will soon become strong enough to seriously threaten France.
"And the latest war news indicates that the Prussians are beginning to falter on the battlefield.
"If someone were to launch an attack on Southern Austria at this time, it would divert a large number of troops that Austria could have deployed to the northern front."
Darsun was stunned and was about to deny it, when Muhammad Ali waved his hand and said:
"To be honest, I don't really understand these things either. But Baron Meimark is my best friend, and he is also your friend, so I want to offer you whatever help I can."
