To be frank, the value that Jerome Bonaparte's conditions held compared to what Captain Mine was about to create for him was truly insignificant.
Once the Minie Rifle and Minie Bullet became widespread in France, they would bring enormous benefits to Jerome Bonaparte.
The Crimean War would lead to an even more crushing outcome than in previous history, and the French stock market would soar to new heights with France's successive victories.
Not to mention the series of benefits brought about by the early French Army's equipment with the Mini Gun.
Captain Mine and Captain Gustav also thought of the last point, yet they also understood that although they were the inventors, they could never join in.
Being in the army, they were more acutely aware of the army's conservatism than Jerome Bonaparte, and without strong connections, promoting their rifles in the army was an uphill battle.
