Chapter 9: First Arrival in Stockholm
That night, Anna was completely sleepless. Philip had already taken away one of her hearts, and Philip's words made her uneasy. If you don't follow Philip, I'm afraid that I will never see him again in this life, and my beautiful first love will be like a flower that has not yet bloomed, and it will wither prematurely. I will be sad and miserable for a lifetime, how can I just have no love? No, I have to go with Philip. But in this way, everything has to be started all over again, and parents are afraid that they will also be worried. What an annoyance!
In the other room, Philip was also thinking. He knew that Anna had a hard time making choices, and so would he if he had changed. Between love and family, it is the most difficult choice. Regardless of whether Anna follows her or not, she must go to the Kingdom of Sweden to start a career, and it can be said that the dream of the Arsenal Empire is her life! In the previous life, he did not complete the dream of revitalizing the Chinese weapons industry, and when he traveled to this time and space, he must not fail again, and after arriving in Sweden, everything depends on whether those arms merchants know the goods or not!
The next morning, Philip was woken up by a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that Anna had not slept all night. At this time, Anna had a tired face, but she still couldn't hide her beauty, and at this time she looked even more lazy beauty.
Philip hurriedly let Anna into the room and asked with concern: "Anna, I see that you have dark circles in both eyes, didn't you sleep last night?" ”
Anna said faintly, "Philip, I thought a lot last night!" You're right, I've figured it out, I'm going with you! ”
When Philip heard this, he exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Anna, you are really a good woman for me! We will definitely create our own business! Hey! ”
Anna was taken aback by Philip's behavior, and the two of them froze for a moment, and it took a while for Anna to run away with her cheeks blushing, leaving only Philip with a happy face.
Philip said in his heart, this time God treats me well, not only let me come back from the dead, but also gave such a superb Western beauty, if it is placed in that time and space, I will not envy those colleagues of the Ordnance Industry Group to death!
After Lucas got up, the three agreed that after completing the formalities, they would leave the city of Essen and embark on a journey to Sweden. Fortunately, air traffic was already available in this era, and it was possible to fly from the capital Berlin over the Baltic Sea to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
Immediately after Philip and Lucas returned to the Krupp Arsenal, they submitted their resignations. Gustav, the chairman of the company, also pretended to keep the two, but Philip knew that he was just pretending, although he was a child of the Krupp family, but he was the kind of side child who had already gone out of the five suits, and his parents were long gone, for the Krupp family, he was an insignificant little person. Although Lucas can be regarded as the technical backbone of the Krupp Arsenal, in the huge Krupp company, there are many technical talents like Lucas and Philip, and they don't care about the lack of the two of them. In the end, Gustav agreed to the two of them to leave, and gave them a pitiful sum of money.
Anna's departure made the colleagues in the hospital feel very sorry, why didn't such a big beauty want to stay? Dr. Julian had already guessed a few points, so he laughed and said, "Did our yard flower let Philip's kid run away, Anna, you have to be careful!" ”
Anna had made up her mind, and the hospital did not make much of a move, but told Anna that the doors of the hospital were open for her at any time, and she could come back to work as long as she wanted.
On the morning of the fifth day, Philip, Lucas, and Anna boarded a train to Berlin, and then took a flight from Berlin to Stockholm, and the greatest ordnance empire in human history began!
The city of Essen is about 500 kilometers from Berlin and takes ten hours by train. By the time Philip and the others arrived in Berlin, it was already evening. However, the three were not in the mood to enjoy the night view of the capital, and the fatigue of the journey forced them to go to bed early.
The flight time from Berlin to Stockholm was about three hours, and that was because the flights of this era were small propeller airliners, which were more than half as slow as later generations.
Sweden is the largest country in Northern Europe and at the same time a neutral country. Sweden is predominantly inhabited by Germans, just as Germany formed a unified feudal state around the middle of the 13th century AD and began to expand into the East, conquering all of Finland in 1293. Since the 60s of the 16th century, especially after Gustav II's military reform established a very effective army, Sweden has relied on its increasingly strong economic and military strength to start a foreign war that lasted for more than a century and a half in order to establish hegemony in the Baltic Sea region. Later, Sweden was forced to retreat into Scandinavia due to repeated defeats in the war, and the country's decline was forced to retreat to Scandinavia, and Sweden's neutrality began to sprout and eventually embarked on the path of seeking neutrality. During World War I, Sweden stubbornly maintained its neutrality between Germany and Russia and avoided getting involved in the war.
Before the outbreak of World War II, Britain and France wanted to attack the Soviet Union from northern Europe, but did not dare to provoke Sweden. Germany and the Soviet Union did not dare to move Sweden when they were expanding in the east and west at the same time. At present, Sweden's military strength on land, sea and air is not inferior to that of any other country, and the quality of its citizens is good. The Swedes who are "strong but not indisputable" give "strong" its true meaning.
The moment the plane landed at Stockholm Airport, the Nordic city welcomed three people who would create myths here in the future. The ancient buildings, elegant, antique and antique style all highlight the characteristics of this ancient city.
When Philip, Lucas, and Anna arrived in the city center, they found a hotel to stay in. In Philip's room, they began to discuss a plan of action for the future.
