Gustav nodded his head frequently, touched his chin, and asked, "Young man, your suggestion is very good!" In addition to this, what do you think of the future development of our Krupp company? ”

When Philip was asked by Gustav, he knew that this was the head of Krupp who wanted to test himself, but this question was really difficult to answer. As a traverser, Philip knew that the Krupp company was later under the control of Gustav's son Alfried Krupp.

For a time, Hitler was made with countless weapons of war, such as artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, submarines and various small arms, and then because of the abuse, the head of the Krupp family was convicted after the war, and the company was taken over by the British army. Although later, due to the needs of the Cold War, the United States allowed the Krupp family and its company to develop again, and once again became a huge military empire, and then its good times did not last long, and the Krupp company did not escape the law of historical development, flourished and declined, and finally owed billions of dollars in debt and went bankrupt.

If the Krupp company continues to develop according to the trajectory of history, it will inevitably become an accomplice of Hitler, a war maniac, and Philip does not want to become a war criminal in the future, but as long as the Krupp company develops in Germany, as long as its head Gustav and its future head Alfried Krupp serve Hitler wholeheartedly, then it will not be able to escape the judgment of history.

Is it possible to convince Gustav to move his company to another country, such as a neutral country, away from the danger of war? Philip knew that this was almost impossible, stubbornness was the character of almost everyone in the Krupp family, especially the little old man in front of him, so he could only try his best, if not, he might have to leave the Krupp company as soon as possible and go to a neutral country to develop his own weapons industry empire. For example, Sweden is a good country, and its weapons industry base is relatively strong, and later it even successfully developed a stealth frigate and a third-generation fighter Gripen, which are quite popular in the international arms market.

The Kingdom of Sweden, which, due to its geographical location, was not interested in being occupied by Germany, but it was able to make a lot of money from the export of iron sand. But preparations were always made to guard against a German invasion. The resistance movements in Denmark and Norway used Sweden as a rear base. The guns produced by the company Forbos made a name for themselves in World War II. And Sweden also rescued a large number of Jews, and the Swedish envoy in Hungary, Wallenberg, rescued nearly 130,000 Jews! That's it, Philip thought.

Philip thought for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I think we should move the company out of Germany, of course, it can't be done in one step, it needs to be achieved step by step." Why leave Germany? There are two reasons for this. First, since the First World War, our Germany has been treated unequally because of its defeat, and the people have long been holding their breath in their hearts, and if they are allowed to be used by those who are interested, I am afraid that they will be involved in the war again! If it fails again, we at Krupp will probably become a scapegoat and fall into a situation from which we will never recover. Second, from a geopolitical point of view, Germany is located on the European continent, and the situation is very complicated in all aspects, so I believe that a huge weapons industrial empire should be built far away from the political center, so as to stand alone and achieve better development. ”

As soon as he said this, Philip knew that Gustav would not listen. But I can't say that I have crossed over, knowing that Germany is going to end under Hitler's leadership, and even if I say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it, maybe I think that after being bombed, I will become a madman!

Sure enough, the stubborn old man said angrily: "Young man, I also thought that you are a good material, but I didn't expect you to encourage us to relocate, you must know that Essen City is the foundation of our Krupp family and company, and it is absolutely impossible to leave!" Well, for the sake of your youth, I won't blame you, you can do it yourself! ”

With that, Gustav flicked his sleeves and walked away briskly with the people who had come to see Philip.

The room was quiet again, except for Philip and Lucas.

As soon as Gustav left, Lucas whispered, "Philip, do you know what you were talking about?" The chairman is so angry with you! ”

Philip said solemnly: "I know what I'm talking about!" But what I'm saying is for the sake of our Krupp, do you believe me? ”

Lucas said, "I believe in you, my friend! But what you said just now is so surprising that I don't want to say that I am a stubborn chairman, even if it is me, I am afraid I will not agree. Our Krupp company in Germany, in Essen, has existed for more than 100 years, and our roots are in Essen! Didn't this explosion break your brain? ”

Philip shook his head and sighed: "If I say that if our Krupp company goes on like this, it will definitely fall into a situation from which it will never recover, and there will definitely be a day when it will go bankrupt, do you believe it?" ”

Lucas was surprised: "Philip, why do you say that, our Krupp company is developing very well now, and it will only become more and more prosperous, how can it go out of business?" ”

Philip said seriously: "Lucas, you know that this year's economic panic has dealt a fatal blow to our Germany. As a result, the Nazi Party's 12 seats in the Reichstag in May 1928 became the current 107 seats, making it the second largest party in the Reichstag. You should know very well that the leader of the Nazi party, Hitler, was a very ambitious conspirator, and if the situation continues like this, I am afraid that this Hitler will one day take control of Germany, and then we will not be far from war! Think about it again, what do we Krupp do? What will happen if you follow this Hitler? If you don't follow Hitler, the result will be even worse! ”

Lucas's mouth was wide open, barely believing what Philip was saying, and muttered, "Oh God! Could this be true? So what should we do? ”

Philip said in the affirmative: "Lucas, I treat you as my best friend and colleague, so I told you this!" I just saw the future crisis of our Krupp company, so I took the liberty to tell the chairman my thoughts, but I know that I am a small person, no one will believe what I say, and I just do my best. Since this is the case, I am ready to leave the Krupp company and seek development elsewhere, if you believe me, come with me! ”

Lucas said with some hesitation: "This ...... It was so sudden that I was a little confused, but I believe you are doing it for my good! Well, I'll think about it and reply to you tomorrow, how about it? ”

Philip nodded and said, "Well, Lucas, my friend, you must believe me!" When we reach a new place, let's build our own weapons industry empire together! ”
