12-year-old Alfred. Krupp is the future heir of the Krupp family, and he shares his namesake with his maternal grandfather, the true founder of the Krupp empire.

Alfred. Krupp (1812-1886), whose cannons enabled Bismarck to victory over Austria and then France in the mid-19th century, was Alfred's mother, Bertha, was his granddaughter.

Bertha's marriage was arranged by Kaiser Wilhelm II himself, who asked the diplomat Gustav to marry Bertha and added the word "Krupp" to his surname in order to run the illustrious family's business and prevent it from falling into the hands of political enemies.

The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and is favored by the highest authorities of the country. Observing time, following discipline, and carrying out orders are the family's traditions. For example, breakfast is at 7:15 a.m., and those who arrive at 7:16 a.m. will find that the restaurant is closed and someone else has already started eating.

Also, even in the middle of winter, Gustav. Krupp also refused to turn on the fireplace, deliberately making the office chilly so as not to become listless...... Alfred grew up in such an environment. Since he was a child, he has been specially nurtured by his parents and has the right to eat with them.

Now, his life will be completely cut off from the past, because he is loyal to the father of Emperor Wilhelm II, Gustav. Krupp has already received orders.

First of all, they had to organize the workers to dismantle all the company's precision machines as quickly as possible, on the grounds that it was better to be loyal to Germany for the last time than to let them fall into the hands of the Entente.

At the same time, the eldest son of the Krupp family, Alfred . Krupp, although only 12 years old, would also leave the country on the grounds that the Krupp family would not be harmed by the Entente. Therefore, he will travel to a distant country with these sophisticated equipment to start a new life.

As for the part of Krupp that remained in Germany, it would be continued by his father, and if his father died, his other brothers would inherit the business, which would of course remain his inheritance in the future, as far as the family tradition was concerned.

For the sake of Germany's future, Wilhelm II agreed to go to Irian Island and completely sever relations with the Weimar Republic, which Germany was building. Of course, he will also pass on the emperor's position to his son, although it may be a little unfair to himself, but after all, the imperial family of Germanic Germany will continue to live in this world under the name of emperor.

As for the Krupp precision plant, it will be installed and rebuilt in Wuhan, China, in the future. Why not build on Irian Island? The reason was simple, so as not to make the Allies fear that the German imperial family there would in the future rebel against their world run.

As for Krupp's development in China, if the heads of the three countries who are still complacent know about it, they will definitely not be satisfied. However, as mentioned earlier, it is now an extremely difficult situation to gain an advantage in the East, both in terms of the quality and quantity of aircraft.

As long as Tang Yunyang does not fight the idea of Europe, they will not fight the idea of China. In a sense, it was a compromise with a race that was good at flying in the sky.

"My dear son, are you ready? Don't worry, if your father and I have some free time, we'll visit you in China together! ”

Today, on the eve of leaving, according to 12-year-old Alfred. Krupp knew that hundreds of airships would arrive in Germany tonight, and his father had not shown up until then, just to mobilize funds to prepare more fuel for these airships.

Alfred. Krupp looked up a little weakly and looked at his mother, Bertha. Although his mother has always been very strict with him, presumably because he is the eldest son of the Krupp family and is strict.

Even today, his mother remains calm and does not seem to have the slightest sorrow. But little Alfred, who was sad about his mother, could see that his mother's eyes were a little red, and it was obvious that he had just cried.

"Mother, I will miss you, especially you, I ......"

Although he has always lived in a family known for his old-fashionedness, he has been deliberately cultivated to have a tough character since he was a child, but little Alefred still can't help crying when he is about to leave his mother.

His mother held out her arm around her chest, and little Alfred sobbed and cried, after all, he was only a 12-year-old. Then he felt his mother hanging a cold chain around his neck.

"Alfred, you are the heir to the Krupp family, and you must be strong at all times. You have to protect what I just put around your neck for you, which contains a picture of our whole family, behind the photo is our family's secret account in Switzerland, my son, I hope this can help you! ”

As with Krupp, some of the designers and engineers of Mauser AG in Oberndorf left Germany on the same day, including their precision machines.

Another weapons company is the German DM company, and everyone probably doesn't know about this company, but when it comes to one of their products, everyone probably knows all about it. At the time of World War II, the small arms company produced German P08 Luger pistols.

The design drawings of Krupp, Mauser, and DM, precision machine tools, engineers and technicians, as well as a large amount of money and precious goods of the German royal family, are the main sources of income for the future of the German royal family who will be exiled to Irian Island. In particular, several companies will be housed in Wuhan and then jointly organized to form the New Deutsche Arms Manufacturing Company.

According to Tang Yunyang's promise, in the future, any weapons produced by this company will have a share of the income of the German imperial family. And the oil on Irian Island and the rent of the Truk naval base are naturally indispensable to the German royal family.

"Your Highness, or perhaps I should have begun to address you by now, if you wish. As far as I can guess, the Entente, as the victorious power, will do everything in their power to loot Germany, and it is natural that the civilians under the administration of the so-called Weimar Republic will suffer. Believe me, my majesty, Germany will not go on like this forever, and if I can do my best for you in China, then one day you will come back here! ”

Hearing Tang Yunyang call his majesty in advance, the excitement in Crown Prince William's heart was naturally self-evident. As if to thank Tang Yunyang for everything he had done for him, he pulled out his sword and put it on Tang Yunyang's shoulder.

"Mr. Tang, in order to thank you for your contribution to the German royal family, I confer on you the title of German Honorary Knight, I think the title of a count can just show that you are a brave and mechanical, qualified person to serve as a German nobleman!"

For the title of German aristocracy, Tang Yunyang himself has no more needs. But for the sake of that long-term strategic goal in the future, it was something he had to do to get along with the German imperial family.

"Thank you, my majesty, it is my honor to be able to serve you!"

The soon-to-be-willem III exercised his rights in advance, making him feel as if he was really in power. Then, he turned to the side to see that Tang Yunyang had received a German knighthood, and the red baron Richthofen was happy for him.

"As for you, honorable Baron, I think it would be more appropriate for you to change your title to the Red Count, and like the Countess beside you, you have made indelible contributions to the German Imperial Family in the most dangerous times of the Empire, and on behalf of the German Imperial Family, I express my sincerest gratitude to the two Earls!"

The earl's praise did not make Tang Yunyang more happy, relatively speaking, he was more concerned about the relocation of several arms companies. After all, having these specialized personnel, including those in the processing of artillery and light weapons, is definitely an unlimited-future benefit for China's industrial construction.

"Your Majesty, I'm still a little worried, do you think Mauser, Krupp, and several other companies would be willing to follow us to China? In particular, will the part of them leave behind take revenge on their families for following you? If so, shouldn't we have a better way to prevent it? ”

Wilhelm III (now that it has been secretly determined, let him be given this title now) squinted his eyes, as a person who officially took charge of the German royal family with the help of Tang Yunyang, he was more inclined to be a politician when he thought about problems.

"Rest assured, Monsieur Count, they are all loyal to the German royal family, and our contacts show that they are willing to go to China to continue their careers. What you just said, we've thought about it too. So, they will tell the occupation forces on the part of the Entente about the robbery of the company, and I wonder if the name robber will make you uncomfortable, Mr. Earl. If so, I think we have time to stop this from happening! ”

Tang Yunyang smiled, the collaborator in front of him with a fox face did not choose the wrong one. Apparently his countenance matched his brain's ability to think.

"My Majesty," he bowed to William III, "you have taken everything into account, and I think fame is not an important thing, especially since you know that I am not that kind of person, and this is enough for me!" ”

"Sir, I wish us a happy cooperation in the years to come!"

William III squinted his eyes and continued to smile, and the same general Steiner, who had also been knighted by him, brought them a glass of wine to celebrate the formation of a group that would make the world more lively before the League of Nations was formed.

While drinking, Tang Yunyang also thought about the fate of the German warship.

"How can I think of a way to let Germany's unrivaled fleet belong to me...... Hey, forget it, if you really have to wait until World War II, these battleships will be old for a long time, so it's better to build them yourself! ”
