What did Count do in mission 19?

[RAWRmonger]

When Avril or Huxxian asks "what kind of magic did you work there, you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?" and Count replies it wasn't magic but a scam, what did he actually do?

He was listening to the radio broadcast by Avril and he knew Cossette was destroying a power unit, which was sending electricity to Arsenal Bird.
It was Cossette who actually broke the barrier while Count said "I'll do something", thus the "scam".

Count was carrying some kind of military walkie-talkie with him that let him talk directly to Avril. So he was aware of everything communicated to him that was going on inside the space elevator. I assume Trigger too because we could listen to it as well.

I don't think Trigger carries one, we just have protagonist privilege of listening to everything.

In the second DLC mission we can hear the enemy Mig-31 squadron talking about how they don't have any missiles loaded with them and only after some time your squadron members comment about how they are not firing any missiles and that they must have sortied without them. So that defnitely shows what we listen isn't the same our allies do.

I still find that a bit confusing. I knew Count had the radio from, I think, Mission 16, around the time Huxxian questions Count about beng interested in politics, but among the confusion that is Mission 19 it's hard grasp what's happening. I also thought the comms were shared and interpolated among everyone in the battlefield nearby. I don't understand radios BTW, so forgive if I said something ignorant.

I thought, maybe, Count knew how to sabotage the production plant or something like that.

Again, that mission is a confusion and specially while engaged in combat. Apparently there's also a character named George which, according to the dataminers, is the one who framed Trigger in Mission 04 but I can never pay attention to what's happening with him.

Yeah but then in the Anchorhead DLC mission Count uses the same walkie talkie to speak to you directly since the Bats were listening in.

He hacks the arsenal bird somehow. No DLC owner here

Nah, it's just like this guy said:

Count mentions that after something happened (Fullband's death) he decided to always carry a radio with him, obviously because he couldn't just trust the AWACS anymore. That way he could directly communicate with other pilots and apparently other people as well. They never mention you carry one with you or any other pilot for that matter however.

With Count having his "personal radio", he was listening in on what Avril and Cossette were doing. During the time when Cossette was breaking the device that was responsible for the shielding of the Arsenal Bird, I guess Count decided to mess around with his team by claiming he was the one that took down the shield. But, as soon as Huxian asked about his magic, him stating that it was a scam was probably a way of saying "I was just pulling your leg."
