The prisons in Germany were as rigorous, rigid and meticulous as the spirit of the Germans. The high-security West German prison, covered with a high-voltage power grid and armed patrol police, is holding a group of prisoners who have been dubbed "Nazi war criminals." These prisoners were more or less connected to the Nazi leadership.

Forty-one-year-old Alfred Krupp scribbled on several sheets of white manuscript paper in a cramped prison in a cramped and cramped cell, and Alfred Krupp was fortunate enough to be thrown into this damp prison this year after the government's reckoning, and in the months when there were no books, no newspapers, no delicious coffee, and no contact with the outside world, trying to design weapons on a draft became Alfred Krupp's only spiritual solace.

There was a subtle click, and Alfred could tell that it was the sound of the key inserting into the keyhole of the cell, and when the key was gently turned, the subtle sound of metal rubbing in the interlocking hole could be heard clearly in this small room where the needle could be dropped. The meticulousness of the Germans led to the quality assurance of their products, as well as the creation of a Krupp military-industrial empire.

The door was gently opened, and Krupp was a little surprised. Because these guards always brought in the extremely unpalatable bread through a small hole when they delivered food, opening the door was a very luxurious thing for Krupp, and usually only family members could be visited with the permission of the German authorities, but the person who came in accompanied by the guards was a young man he did not know, and the young one could even be said to be childish.

Albert didn't come to visit Krupp, he needed this military genius to contribute to the future military-industrial empire he conceived, the United States did not exert too much political pressure, and the West German officials decided to release Krupp who was sentenced to 12 years in prison, since World War II, Germany's heavy industry was completely abandoned, and the smoke of war and the terms and conditions signed between the West German government and the victorious countries turned the entire German heavy industry into a place

"Hello Alfred Krupp, of course you can call me Albert, I am the Crown Prince of Belgium." Albert lowered his body first and introduced himself. Geniuses always have a little contempt for the solitude and arrogance of the common people, so it is best to be humble when you ask for them.

"You say you're the crown prince of Belgium?" Krupp was apparently shocked by the fact that a future head of state had summoned him personally, and he vaguely remembered the former crown prince of Belgium, but he was more curious about the fact that His Royal Highness had traveled thousands of miles to visit him.

Albert didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly what he meant, "That's right, Mr. Krupp." The German authorities revoked your sentence and from now on you are free. And we in Belgium sincerely invite you and your company to develop in Liège, Belgium, what do you think? ”

Who knew that Krupp actually shook his head and kindly refused Albert's invitation, "Thank you, Your Highness Albert, for me, Germany is my home." My grandfather was loyal to the German Kaiser, my father was to the Führer, and even though Germany was torn apart, I remained loyal to the country. ”

"Country?" Albert scoffed and mocked, "I have the impression that Germans are strict and old-fashioned, but Mr. Krupp's joke is funny." In Albert's view, Krupp was a fanatical Germanic who could not distinguish between reality, and it is no wonder that he would follow Hitler's path to the dark.

When Krupp's own sincerity was denied by Albert, Krupp was particularly displeased, "What, is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

Albert sat down in a chair, and he was the best at reasoning, "Of course. And as you say, your country and nation have not disappeared because of the victory of the Allies, but do you really think that the Allies will give your motherland and your government another chance to turn around? ”

Krupp sensed a hint of foreboding from Albert's mouth, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" My homeland never has a chance to rise again? ”

"You Germans provoked two world wars, the first of which was the Sarajevo incident as a pretext to support the Austrian Empire in declaring war on Serbia. During World War II, Poland was attacked with a blitzkrieg, then annexed the Nordic countries and declared war on France and Britain. It can be said that the Germans are to blame. ”

"Hmph, that was the revolt of the great Germany, and if it weren't for the British pressing on Germany, we wouldn't have started a war. When it comes to the culprits, they are British. ”

Krupp's strong rhetoric made Albert cry and laugh, but he also followed Krupp's words, "Well, even if the British are the culprits, you are fighting for the rise of the Germanic nation." But the reality at the moment is that you have lost, and you have lost completely. Moreover, as a loser, the result was that Germany's heavy industry would be fatally dealt by the Allies after the war. ”

"Why?" Krupp's eyes widened, apparently he did not believe Albert's words. However, in history, Germany's heavy industry was not reduced much because of World War II, but because of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, it was a blessing in disguise, and it was rearmed by Britain and France to become a dog against the Soviet Union.

"Because heavy industry is the war minions of German Germany, as long as Germany's heavy industry is not obsolete, then the country will have a day to regain its glory. If even heavy industry had been restricted, Germany would never have turned over. So does Mr. Krupp plan to stay in Essen after his release? ”

Albert's words silenced Krupp, and it is true that it was their family's lifelong pursuit to bring Germany to revival, but if they could not even keep their own family business, then the so-called revival was nothing more than a piece of paper. But Krupp did not want to betray the German nation and go to Belgium to develop.

Seeing that Krupp had begun to waver, Albert decided to continue to put forward conditions on the hot iron, "And I have coordinated with the British government about your factory equipment, and they are willing to return the factory to you, but the condition is that these factories cannot be kept in Germany and must be relocated to Belgium." ”

Albert's trick is very vicious, even if the German workers want to rise again in the future, they are just fools without the support of heavy industrial equipment.

Seeing that Krupp continued to remain silent, Albert no longer continued to be aggressive, he stood up and walked to the door, before going out, he glanced back at Krupp and said, "Actually, Mr. Krupp can play for Germany in Belgium as well, I need the equipment of the Krupp company, and Mr. Krupp's life's work can also shine in my hands, and we just made a fair deal." As for whether to make this deal or not, it depends on Mr. Krupp's wishes. ”

Albert stood in the narrow and dark corridor of the prison, silently waiting for Krupp to make a decision, whether Krupp came or not was just the icing on the cake, the Americans had already helped Albert get all the machinery and equipment of the Krupp factory from the British government, plus the design drawings in Albert's hands, even a mediocre designer could design a weapon ten or twenty years ahead of the rules in the case of conformity.

However, Albert still hoped that Krupp would agree to his request, in fact, he had no other idea, just because the talent of genius always brought unimaginable surprises to Albert.

"Do you really want him to play for Germany in Belgium? I didn't expect you to allow a traitor to appear. After listening to Albert's conversation with Krupp, Tianyan said that in his instructions and code, there was no betrayal of this article.

"You don't understand." Albert analyzed his reasons for Tianyan, "You have to give him a hope for this kind of good young man with political ambitions, otherwise even if he is in Belgium, he will not serve Albert wholeheartedly." That's why I lied to him. As for Krupp's intention to secretly send technical information to Germany, I have a way to stop him. ”

As soon as Albert finished speaking, the cell door creaked open, and Krupp, who had been in the dark cell for several months, stood in front of Albert with a pale expression, still holding a stack of manuscript papers that had not been finished before.

"Have you decided?" Albert asked.

Krupp replied calmly, "I am willing to go with you, but there is one condition, the right to develop weapons of the Krupp company must take precedence over the right to operate. ”

"No problem." Albert, who has always given priority to R&D funding and is generous, waved his hand and directly agreed to Krupp's request without talking nonsense to him. >
