"So, you're saying you want to find a railway company with relevant qualifications, some experience, but not too large in scale," Prince Karl Anton concluded.
"That's right, Uncle Karl," Ernst replied.
"Hmm, I'll keep an eye out for you. Prussia has now integrated the North German Federation and will certainly unify the railway systems in the various states, so there will definitely be some companies that won't keep up.
However, don't get your hopes too high. Prussia has always placed great emphasis on railway construction, adopting a model of state and private railways mixed. Besides, it seems to me that William I and Bismarck, and the military also want further railway nationalization, which will inevitably increase investment in this field.
So, railway operations in the north might be relatively ideal. The main issue might not be the lack of orders, making it hard to negotiate prices.
