Albert did not expect to meet Edmund Heckler here, who was originally penniless in history, and should return to Odondorf to form a company with Theodor Koch and Alex Seidel, but because of the butterfly effect, Edmund Heckler did not set up HK Company in his hometown, but went to Belgium alone, and finally found a job in Krupp's arsenal to make a living.

"My name is Edmund Heckler, may I ask you?" Edmund Heckler looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled look, and after a careful mental search, he was sure that he had not seen him.

Since dealing with foreigners like Krupp, Albert's German has also improved a lot, and he can communicate fluently with Edmund Heckler without a translator, "My name is Albert, of course you don't know me, but I know you, you once got a job at Hugo Schneider AG, and then you were soon promoted to senior engineer and ordered to set up a new factory, until the outbreak of World War II, you also built many production plants all over Germany, but the defeat of Germany ended your dream." Oh yes, are you alone? I remember you had a friend named Ortdor Koch, didn't you? ”

"Oh, you mean Ortdor, he's gone back to Odoendorf, and I'm left out alone. You know, we've had a hard time since the war ended. Edmund Heckler's eyes were a little evasive, and he seemed to be a little indescribable.

On the contrary, Krupp, who was left to dry, felt a little embarrassed, he coughed a few times to interrupt the conversation, and asked curiously, "Your Royal Highness, do you two know each other?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Are you the crown prince of Belgium? Edmund Heckler took a few steps back, looking at the calm young man in front of him with a little surprise, and at the same time he saw the serious look of his boss, Edmund Heckler immediately closed his mouth and tried to pick up the pile of steel scrap and leave here, but was stopped by Albert.

"You don't have to move these things." Albert said to him coldly, "I won't be here anymore." ”

"Your Highness, are you going a little too far by doing this?" Krupp frowned and pleaded with Albert, although he was strict with his employees, but he would not say that he would resign them at every turn.

"Your Royal Highness, I really need this job." Edmund Heckler didn't care about anything at this time, and hurriedly stopped in front of Albert and pleaded bitterly.

"Did I say I wouldn't give you a job? I mean you don't have to move these things, you come with me, the position of senior designer of NORINCO is waiting for you, will you come? Albert was very pleased with his little prank, at least he had just shocked the future designer of HK.

The difference between falling from heaven to the bottom and from the bottom to heaven made Edmund Heckler a little dazed and overwhelmed, and he cautiously asked, "Is what His Highness Albert said true?" ”

Albert glanced at him and said unceremoniously, "Of course it's true, will I lie to you as a crown prince?" Do you want to come here or not, if you don't come, I'll find someone else. ”

"I do, I do." Edmund Heckler was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, so he hurriedly agreed, and Krupp on the side didn't see the twist of the plot clearly, and pulled Albert's sleeve and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you really want this worker to come to your company to be a senior designer?" He's just a worker. ”

"Oh, I have to thank His Excellency Krupp for retaining such a talent for me, really, this guy used to be a genius at the Mauser factory, and later worked as a senior engineer at Hugo Schneider, of course, after the defeat of Germany, because it could not produce heavy weapons, so there was a huge loss of military personnel. Therefore, it is not uncommon for this kind of senior designer to be an ordinary labor worker. Albert replied to Krupp's words, and a new idea slowly formed in his mind: "If Belgium can recruit all the German skilled workers or designers who have been exiled abroad to work in Belgium, this is a good start, at least to reserve strategic talents for Belgium." ”

"You're welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, it is my honor to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Krupp slapped Albert's ass silently. However, the crown prince in front of him obviously didn't eat this, and said directly, "Let's not be so sycophant about our relationship, okay?" The whole self-propelled gun is better than anything else. ”

"We will definitely live up to the expectations of the crown prince." Krupp patted Albert's chest and promised to complete the task.

However, after acquiring Edmund Heckler, a firearms genius, he didn't want to dwell on the issue of self-propelled guns, because he had to give the genius and his two other friends a small task.

"By the way, can you contact Theodor Koch and Alex Seidel now?" Albert asks that HK is called HK because of the presence of Theodor Koch and Edmund Heckler, both of whom are indispensable, as well as the company's most important designer, Alex Seidl, who is in fact the real founders of HK.

"It should work." Edmund Heckler pondered for a moment and continued, "I can call them and rule them, but I don't know how His Highness Albert will arrange the placement of these two men. ”

"If you can convince the two of them to come to work in my company," said Albert, "then I can re-establish a division of labor from the North Industries Corporation, which is responsible for the development of light weapons from the Talesta Heavy Weapons Research and Development Company, and the three of you are the heads of this branch." What do you think? That's tempting enough, isn't it? ”

He painted a very good picture for Edmund Heckler, but of course these prospects were based on the fact that he knew the other party, and if Edmund Heckler had been a nobody in history, Albert would never have handed over a new company to him.

"Your Royal Highness, do you mean it really? Do you want us to be the head of your branch? "Edmund Heckler couldn't believe his ears, was it the day of the god of fate? Happiness came too suddenly, and he wasn't ready. Edmund Heckler, who had been penniless himself, suddenly became the head of the Talesta Heavy Weapons Branch, one of Europe's military-industrial giants.

"Yes, how about you and Orteodor Koch name this soon-to-be-founded company?" Albert calmly uttered the news that shocked Edmund Heckler to the point of madness.

"You mean, my name?" Edmund Heckler, with trembling lips, repeated the Crown Prince's words.

Albert, who has always liked to surprise and pressure, immediately assigned Edmund Heckler the task, "Yes, in the name of Heckler Koch, or H&K for short. And now, I'm going to assign your company HK the first task of firearms development, and I hope you don't let me down. ”
