Since the World War, Germany's military power has been limited, and its economy has fallen into an unprecedented Great Depression due to reparations and plundering by Britain and France.

As the country that suffered the most from the world war, France was extremely afraid of Germany's combat effectiveness, and spared no effort to weaken Germany, and even sent troops to occupy Germany's Rhine industrial area. However, in the face of China's strong rise in the East, the entire Western world is feeling enormous pressure.

It is true that China has the technology, because China has benefited from the support of a mysterious power. However, in order to convert technology into commodities and make profits, it needs the support of industrial capacity. China's industrial and commercial capacity has grown geometrically in just a few years, shocking the world, thanks to the large number of German technical talents, and the large number of German technicians in a large number of Chinese enterprises, due to the German economic depression and the Chinese leader Li Bufan. Li Bufan once served in the German army and participated in the world war, so Li Bufan recruited a large number of German technical personnel to work in China through the propaganda of his comrades-in-arms in the German army.

Germany's technical talents have become the driving force for China's rapid development, which Britain, France and the United States cannot tolerate after they are ready to suppress China. However, it has no right to interfere with the personal behavior of the German people, of course, this is not absolute, and if there is a benefit, the German government can use all kinds of excuses and influence to change the decision of German citizens in China.

Britain, France, and the United States decided to reduce a certain amount of Germany's war reparations, and at the same time encouraged enterprises to inject capital into German loans in order to restore the German economy. The German government immediately took action and asked the staff members in China to return to work in China through various means.

Several important manufacturing industries in China have been greatly affected, and countless German employees have submitted their resignations.

Nanchang Automobile Factory is the first automobile factory in China. The largest car factory also ushered in the resignation of German skilled workers, and the factory's personnel department was crowded with Germans.

In the personnel department, the head of the personnel department (known as the manager in the West, but Li Bufan and Wu Invincible decided to call the shopkeeper) and the representative of the German workers, Hansen, urgently negotiated.

"What are you kidding, so many of you quit, so how many machines in our factory have to be shut down? How much damage would that cause? Hansen, we're friends, you can't do that. If you think about the time when you were unemployed in Germany, and many of you were almost turned into beggars, who gave you a job. Feed your family, your wives and your children? ”

Hansen said bitterly: "The king's shopkeeper." We also have no choice, my motherland needs us, issued a summoning order, do you call us to betray our homeland? ”

Shopkeeper Wang said seriously: "Patriotism is a virtue. It is also a quality that a citizen must possess. But without faith he did not stand. You come to China to work under a contract. If you resign like this, it will cause huge losses to our factory, and we can hold you accountable according to the law. If you look at the amount of liquidated damages above, do you deserve it? As he spoke, he threw a document in front of Hansen.

Hansen's face was extremely ugly, he naturally knew that when they came to China to work, the Chinese side gave them resettlement fees and ferry tickets, etc., and they would also sign work contracts, many of which were five-year contracts, far from expiring. The liquidated damages for the contract are 5,000 oceans, and these technicians belong to middle and senior technicians, and their monthly salaries are more than 50 oceans, which is not low in Europe, but now it has become a huge obstacle to their resignation. He knew that no one could afford to pay an average of 5,000 oceans in liquidated damages, and if they were so rich, would they still need to come to China to work? Know that this money is equivalent to their salary for ten years.

Hansen said bitterly: "Shopkeeper Li, do you want us all to become traitors?" This is a special case, and we can't do anything about it. ”

Shopkeeper Li said: "So we should not make trouble like this, but should sit down and find a way to solve the problem, as much as possible to a level acceptable to both parties." ”

Hansen smiled bitterly: "I'm messed up now, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Shopkeeper Li Zhengse said: "I think this needs to be coordinated between the two of us. We understand your struggles while you're under pressure, but you also have to think about us, and we can't let our boss go bankrupt just because we sympathize with you, can we? So, I want you to negotiate with China and leave a buffer time for both of us. ”

Hansen was surprised: "Buffer time? What do you mean? ”

Shopkeeper Li said solemnly: "What I mean is that there is no problem for us to let you go, after all, you are also needed by the country." However, before you leave, you must use this buffer time to teach our workers a series of techniques such as production and maintenance of equipment, so as to ensure the normal operation of our factories and minimize our losses. Of course, now it is not one of our factories that will be affected, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will intervene, and the state will definitely come forward to demand some compensation from your country. ”

“OK！” Hansen thought for a moment and nodded, he thought that this request was very reasonable, and thought for a while, "I think, and I also hope that your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will negotiate with our country." I think it came too suddenly, that is, we were caught off guard, and there was no warning of a place in advance. ”

Shopkeeper Li said lightly: "This is the coercion and temptation of Britain and France to your country, just like they suppressed Germany at the beginning, they believe that it is you who have achieved the rapid development of China's industry, and if you are taken away, it will achieve the purpose of severely hitting China's industrial capacity." ”

"It's so shameless!" Hansen gritted his teeth, "We must not allow the damned Anglo-French conspiracy to succeed." ”――

The resignation of a large number of German technicians came so quickly and violently that Li Bufan and Wu Di were a little caught off guard.

Wu Di sneered: "Want to go? It's not that easy. Fortunately, of course, Lao Tzu has more eyes, and the work contract is set up with liquidated damages, and the foreign devils in the West are really not things. Are they leaving? Okay. Pay the liquidated damages first, no one has 5,000 oceans, 10,000 people is 50 million, these hundreds of thousands of people, then they can't compensate billions? With so much money to buy materials for our workers to practice their hands, I think even a pig should become a master. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "It's obviously impossible to take them all. However, at least a part of the liquidated damages must be paid, otherwise it is impossible to release the person. Just use the time we are negotiating. German technicians are required to teach our technicians how to do their best. I think that someone will pay the liquidated damages for the Germans, otherwise we have a contract, and they can't do anything about us if we don't release them. ”

Wu Di smiled: "Yes." As long as the workers learn to operate, our losses will be minimized. Britain, France and the United States raised a gang of bitches, but fortunately, Lao Tzu saw in history that the later republics took away technicians and drawings because of the Russian-aided construction project, so they took precautions. Moreover, we also deliberately arranged some unmarried German technicians to find a way to let them get married in China and become Chinese nationals, so as to leave some important technical backbones. ”

Li Bufan nodded. This arrangement is really important. Although there were many more Jewish technicians, the losses were enormous. After thinking for a moment, "what I am really worried about now is that in case the British and French find out that the mere recall of German technicians cannot deal a fatal blow to our manufacturing industry, they will turn their brains to the Jews." If only the Jewish technicians were gone. That's the consequences."

Then. Li Hengshan came in and said, "Commander-in-chief, the president is here." ”

Wu Di smiled and said to Li Bufan: "It should also be here for this matter." ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "This is expected, such a big thing." It will definitely alarm Duan Lao. Please. Of course, the last two words were said to Li Hengshan.

Soon, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng entered the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense under the leadership of Li Hengshan, and as soon as they met, they mentioned this matter worriedly, and they were indignant about it, and at the same time complained to Li Bufan: "Look, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Britain and France are playing tricks in this matter." How is this good? ”

Li Bufan said coldly: "Don't worry, Duan Lao, we have a contract, and those German technicians can't just go." As far as I know, the anti-Jewish movement in Europe and the United States has not stopped, and there will still be Jewish technicians who come to work in China to take their place, and in the past few years, we have basically learned some techniques, and the so-called gap is just the operation level of some technicians. ”

Duan Qirui sighed and said: "The Jews are also unreliable, if they can attack the Germans, they can also blackmail the Jews." I now finally understand why when you were still in East China, you invested in education so desperately, or our compatriots could be relied on. It's a pity that the time is not waiting for me. Isn't your plan supposed to be the right fit? ”

Wu Di laughed dryly and said, "Elder Duan, even if we can stop in moderation now, do you think the great powers will be able to tolerate us?" ”

Duan Qirui could only smile bitterly, he knew very well that politics was like the so-called rivers and lakes, once you entered the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself, as long as you start something, you can't stop it if you want to. If China stops, but Britain, France and other powers are still secretly preparing, and when the time comes to break out, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Xu Shuzheng sighed: "In the face of such a powerful enemy in the entire Western world, we are a little lonely. In my opinion, since we can't stop, can we communicate with Soviet Russia to see if we can jointly resist the West? ”

Wu Di sneered: "If you were the leader of Soviet Russia, what would you do? ”

Xu Shuzheng hesitated and said, "They should know how to have cold lips and teeth, right?" ”

Li Bufan said: "Of course they understand this truth. But in my opinion, if I were the Stalin of Soviet Russia, I would definitely sit back and watch the tiger fight, let us fight with the Western powers, and whichever side is at a disadvantage, I will take action to contain the other side or help the weak a little. In this way, they can be as stable as Mount Tai, get full cultivation and growth, so that they can be fishermen at the final decisive moment. ”

Duan Qirui sighed and said, "Yes, Soviet Russia is also white." This is the way of 'white supremacy'. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "I have been a dignified Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, and I am a Chinese nobleman, and I can be subservient to others?" If this is the way of the world, then we must go against the sky! ”

"Against the sky?" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly, they could naturally feel Li Bufan's resolute determination, but is the world order created by the Western world for hundreds of years really so easy to overthrow? China's foundation is too weak, and this has not yet officially clashed, and China's weaknesses have been exposed? (To be continued......)
