Post-war Germany can be said to be devastated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the history of the other world, the war never spread to Germany, and even when the two sides finally armistically armistic, the line of fire was still in France. So the outcome of the Paris Peace Conference made the Germans feel cheated, which eventually led to World War II.

But in this world, the situation is completely different.

The entry of the Chinese and the massive use of aircraft, tanks and other weapons allowed the Allied countries to maximize their resource advantages, so the war had reached the territory of Germany by the end of the war. And the cession of a large amount of territory and a huge amount of war reparations after the Paris Peace Conference also caused the Germans to suffer unprecedented losses!

The heavy reparations weighed down the Germans even more.

It has been said that the First World War completely destroyed centuries of European values, and the Germans showed it even more obviously. Suffering from defeat in the war, the Germans entered the "exciting" twenties. But in 1920, everything was just beginning, and the Germans had not yet recovered from the pain of war: there was chaos everywhere, and people were desperately trying for a piece of bread......

In this chaotic moment, Werner, the envoy of the Huntelaar consortium? Müller came to Berlin.

Warner? Muller was a native of Berlin and graduated from the University of Berlin before following John to New York. After the end of the First Century War, Müller, an executive of the Huntelaar consortium, accepted Johan's assignment and resolutely returned to the German capital. In his eyes, although Mr. Huntelaar, who is a descendant of Germany, has done a lot of bad things to Germany, such as selling a large number of advanced weapons to the Entente countries, and pushing China and the United States to declare war on Germany, there is no doubt that Mr. Huntelaar's appointment of him to Germany this time is a good thing!

The only thing that makes Mueller tangled is who he should go to!

In 1920, Germany was really in chaos, and there were even tens of thousands of Red Army troops in the Ruhr industrial area, so after two days of struggle, Müller finally found the new president of the German state, Friedrich? Albert......

……

“……”

Blinking desperately at his own eyes, President Albert was still a little overwhelmed.

Of course, he knew about the Chinese reselling war reparations, after all, these were closely related to the Germans, so on the 10th day of the agreement between the Huntelaar consortium and the Chinese government, the relevant documents were sent to Germany as quickly as possible and handed over to him, the newly elected president. It's just that for him, the headache now is the chaos in the country and the distrust of the states in the government, not the question of who to give the money to, so he quickly put it behind him.

Albert didn't expect that the Huntelaar consortium would send another plenipotentiary envoy over!

And what shocked Albert even more was that the plenipotentiary envoy actually handed him a statement! In this statement, the owner of the Huntelaar consortium, John? Mr. Huntelaar renounced the ownership of all war reparations purchased from the Chinese, that is, he renounced the right to demand huge reparations from the Germans in excess of three billion marks!

All these reparations will be donated to the German people!

Please forgive Mr. Albert, who has been in a daze, for his outlook on life is incomprehensible to what this Mr. Huntelaar is doing. You know, that's a huge sum of three billion marks!

"Do you mean ......?"

Suddenly looking up, Albert looked at the Mr. Plenipotentiary. After being really incomprehensible, he subconsciously chose another answer, that is, this so-called plenipotentiary envoy is fake!

"Sir, everything you see is true!"

Taking a deep breath, Müller explained seriously: "I suggest that you contact the German ambassador to the United States, because it's in ...... Well, it must have been yesterday that Mr. Huntelaar published a statement in fifty newspapers across the United States announcing that he would give up ownership of this huge sum of money and donate it to all German citizens...... Sir, please send a telegram to inquire! ”

"Sizzle......"

After discovering that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Albert suddenly gasped!

John? Huntelaar, this name will definitely not be unfamiliar to Albert! In fact, he can almost recite the life history of the rich American man one by one: born in China, he was brought to the United States by his grandfather, a German descendant, when he was about ten years old, and then started with a filament light bulb, invented a battery and a bicycle, and got the first pot of gold in his life. At the age of sixteen, he came to study at the University of Berlin, obtained a medical doctor's society, and then invented stainless steel, aspirin and sulfonamides, and also single-handedly founded General Motors. After returning to the United States, it was even more out of control, from planes to tanks, from synthetic ammonia to radios, John? Huntelaar showed humanity a miraculous life perfectly.

What's even more terrifying is that this Mr. Huntelaar is also the best scientist in the world!

He was a top master in the field of medicine, from internal medicine to surgery, from vitamins to blood transfusion techniques, from anesthetics to vascular anastomosis. Huntelaar is a well-deserved master; In the field of physics, X-ray, radioactivity and electrons, which have been defined as the three major discoveries in physics at the end of the 19th century, are all related to this person, and even in the field of chemistry, he has won numerous awards for his invention of synthetic ammonia......

In Albert's opinion, this Mr. Huntelaar is simply the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci!

In fact, it has always been because of the identity of German descent, Johann? Huntelaar had a great reputation in Germany, especially when he solved the cholera epidemic in Hamburg, and was respected by all German physicians. And the basis of the three discoveries also made him a master in the hearts of German physicists.

Even the outbreak of World War I did not change the situation.

Although the planes, tanks and cannons manufactured by the Huntelaar Company became weapons in the hands of British and French soldiers, the Germans also understood the fact that they were the first countries to obtain these technologies and even physical objects! And let's not forget, it was Mr. Huntelaar's early warning that the Germans were prepared for the Huntelaar flu outbreak and saved the lives of countless Germans!

As for weapons and stuff, not many people actually care.

In fact, this is the characteristic of this era, and the manufacture and sale of weapons must be strictly distinguished from war. If it were to be held strictly accountable, the Germans were the worst enemies of their country, because throughout the course of the First World War, a large part of their enemies had weapons that the Germans had made and sold themselves......

Well, that's a long way off.

Desperately suppressing the agitation in his heart, Albert couldn't help but shake his head and said in a trembling voice: "Dear Mr. Special Envoy, I don't understand a little...... Why did Mr. Huntelaar do this? You know, that's a huge sum of more than three billion marks! ”

"This ......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Müller explained indifferently: "Mr. President, I think the most fundamental reason is that in addition to the fact that Mr. Huntelaar is of German descent, and at the same time, he is sorry that his company's weapons have hurt many Germans, so I want to make up for it with this!" ”

Mueller did not dare to make it up at will, but said what John had said.

“……”

After a moment of silence, Albert bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Huntelaar, the German people will always remember this day!" ”

"Thank you."

Biting his lip, Mueller responded with a salute.

He was also quite moved by Mr. President's gratitude to Muller, but for some reason, he always felt something strange in his heart, and something was not quite right. When Mr. Huntelaar appointed him to Germany, he made it clear that he did not need any return from the Germans, even if the property rights of several companies confiscated by the war were not recovered, and that the three billion dollars this time were purely donations.

But......

"Sure enough, it still doesn't feel right!"

While telling Mr. President about Mr. Huntelaar's attitude, Müller muttered in his heart: "What does it feel wrong?" Could it be that Mr. Huntelaar asked me to recruit those talents in Germany, so that they would not waste what they had learned in the chaos? Not...... It shouldn't be......"
