Chapter 135: Continued Fermentation
The mouth cannon alone is simply too low for the Wittelsbach family! Tell your grievances like a plaintiff and beg for the protection of the law? Forget it. This is too troublesome and too embarrassing. Since you Krupp want to play with me, then play! Lao Tzu is a kingdom, and you are afraid that you will not be a capitalist? Now that it's broken, let's use our own means!
First of all, the Kingdom of Bavaria stopped licensing the contract for the production of Krupp guns, and the patent for the technology was Ruprecht, and Krupp did not buy the patent, but carried out it using the method of licensed production. In other words, if the Kingdom of Bavaria does not allow you to produce, then you can't!
What did you say? How is the contract signed? That's right, there is indeed a problem with liquidated damages this time, but it doesn't matter, what liquidated damages can the Kingdom of Bavaria still lack? What's more, people are inert, Krupp has not made technical improvements to rapid-fire guns since it got the license to produce and divided the sales market, and all of Krupp's 77MM rapid-fire guns must be discontinued! Otherwise, prepare for a lawsuit! Moreover, in the current situation, they have just received an order from Japan, and if they cannot produce and cancel, Krupp will have to pay an additional liquidated damages.
Krupp is a big group, not only artillery, but also strong in shipbuilding, and they happen to take on the order of two battleships, because the hardened armored division is in short supply. And Ruprecht had already taken into account Krupp's possible counterattack, so the two sides did not sign a contract, just an intention to buy. I won't give it to you at this time, what can you do? You either surrender or buy Harvey armor from the Americans, of course, because of the armor problem, you have to get the understanding of the Imperial Admiralty first.
For those who helped Krupp wave the flag, Ruprecht was a hit. To do things, we must distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, some industrial tycoons have invested in shipyards, and they feel that there are too many orders for warships crowded by Ruprecht, it doesn't matter, I can give you one, not long ago Argentina just ordered a Munich type armored cruiser, this order is given to you, you give a commission, will it be okay to be quiet?
For those who don't repent, then just go straight to it, as a businessman in this era, who doesn't do something illegal, you're fine when the backstage covers you, but if you're facing an opponent of a country, it's not necessarily. How stealthy can you be? Can you avoid the spy of a specialized intelligence unit? If you find a problem, even if you can't kill you in court, it can disgust you. We are civilized people, and we are talking about the law.
So, for a time, the whole of Germany was in a miasma by both sides, and a kingdom actually bent down to fight with a capitalist, not to mention the result, it must be the capitalists who lost! How much money do you have? How many connections? Yes, the Krupp family has a history of the top three in Germany, but don't forget, the entire Kingdom of Bavaria belongs to the Wittelsbach family, and how the kingdom's taxes are spent, as long as they are not excessive, it is not a matter of the regent's words? Lao Tzu's enterprise can not make money, can Krupp's enterprise be?
"It was not a fair war from the beginning, and if the two sides had been competing on an equal footing, then Krupp would have hoped to retain the production of a gun by influencing the Admiralty, and now, when the other side first resorted to public opinion attacks, the Kingdom of Bavaria had the upper hand. Because if you want to be unreasonable, the capitalists who have no rights will never be able to kill the king! An analyst said afterwards.
It has been said that the kingdom's direct control of industry affected free competition and was a persecution of capitalists and factory owners. This argument of "freedom" and "cooking" would have some effect outside of Germany, but unfortunately, Germany has a monarchy, and the so-called butt decides the head. In the face of this kind of argument, the kings and nobles with real power who want to maintain their ruling position naturally cannot allow this kind of remarks to spread, so such people were immediately suppressed by high pressure, and they jumped out directly after two strokes.
There are many so-called icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. After all, the latter monopolized the artillery of the German Navy and Army, and at the same time had a large share in the steel and shipbuilding industries. It is said that capitalists will sell the ropes that hang themselves for money. Everyone is a group of sharks, and when they find out that one of the sharks is too strong to support it, they will naturally rush to it!
Sometimes, once this thing starts, it is a little difficult to stop the car, and this time, Ruprecht found that as the scale of the mouth cannon grew, he seemed to be a little out of control. Other principalities and kingdoms that have been suppressed by the Prussian Empire for too long also want to use this time to breathe, the world is as black as a crow, Krupp can do this, he is powerful is one aspect, but the support of the Prussian government and the Kaiser is also inseparable, all kinds of good state-owned assets will be handed over to Krupp, and it is difficult for Krupp not to be fierce!
Capitalism in Germany was state capitalism, and there were deep links between kingdoms and enterprises, and Prussia supported its own, just as Württemberg, Saxony, and Bavaria also had their own enterprises. It's just that Prussia is too strong, and the other kingdoms can't unite, and this time, Bavaria came to the front first for the navy's artillery orders, so Württemberg and Saxony don't mind taking advantage of this opportunity to compete with Prussian enterprises. Especially Saxony, although it was beaten by Prussia, but the economic strength of the people is still very strong, just look at the prosperity of Dresden.
"What the hell do you want to do! See what you've done? Want to make a split? "In the Prime Minister's letter to Ruprecht, he questioned Ruprecht in extremely indignant terms! How many years have passed peacefully, and ask yourself if the empire has not treated you badly. What do you want to do now?
"I don't know, don't I just want a piece of the Imperial Navy's order? Look at what your kids are doing! Only allow him to scold me, not allow me to fight back? Or are you going to help Krupp to the end? Ruprecht wrote in his reply.
"Don't say anything, hurry up and put out the fire first, I'll take care of my family, you will take care of your family, let both sides extinguish the fire first, what's the problem that can't be discussed? Do you have to be happy like this? "The prime minister has put forward his own demands, stability, stability is as big as heaven. At this time, Prussia must not use force. If you really do it, let's finish it together!
"And what about the Navy order?" Ruprecht is very single, he tossed for so long a day, pulled down his son and PK with the other party, if he can't get it again, he won't die?
"Eh, boy, you're coming to Berlin, let's have a good talk?" The Prime Minister replied.
"Go and go, I'm afraid of Mao!" Ruprecht didn't say a word and finalized the itinerary directly, everyone went to Berlin!
