This way, Kromer's career might actually fare better than in the first scenario, as he would have an immediate vacancy for promotion.
After several heart-to-heart talks with Arthur and others, Kromer, an Austrian intelligence officer, suddenly turned into a staunch supporter of Young Italy.
Now, more than anyone, he is eager for Young Italy to launch an expedition and prays sincerely for the comrades of 'Young Italy', hoping God will protect them: "Let the old intelligence bureaucrats in Mainz never discover the important information hidden within the intelligence documents sent from Paris."
As for Arthur, his thoughts were almost identical to Kromer's.
He didn't want to straightforwardly inform the Foreign Office that Young Italy was about to launch an expedition.
