Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are all a scholar.

This sentence not only ridicules culture, but also praises ordinary people.

In fact, it is true that whenever the life and death of the country comes, educated scholars will "choose good birds and trees to perch", and "gentlemen will not stand under dangerous walls", while ordinary people will often burst out with simple patriotic enthusiasm, and defend their country with their own blood, which may never have paid attention to their own country.

This may be a bit out of context, but throughout history, those famous "traitors" are often readers.

In its original history, after the end of the First World War, defeated Germany was severely restricted.

In the liquidation of the Entente powers, all Germans involved in the First World War had to be punished, including the sponsors of the war, the German Imperial Family, and the participants in the "aiding and abetting" of the abuse, the large German corporations.

There is no need to discuss whether it is "aiding and abetting", after all, the Entente were the victorious side, and they were free to interpret the First World War.

This result is obviously not so pleasant for the Chinese people.

The Kaiser was forced to abdicate, and the large military industrial complex in Germany was dismantled, including the Krupp plant for the production of artillery, Rheinmetall for the production of guns and ammunition, the Wiesel shipyard for the production of submarines, the Germania shipyard, the Vulken shipyard, and the Julius Caesar shipyard for the production of submarines, the BMW plant for the production of aero engines, the Augsburg-Nuremberg Mechanical Works JSC for the production of diesel engines, and so on.

Of course, these industrial giants did not die out after being dismantled, some of them were converted to civilian use, such as Rheinmetall; Some rebuilt production lines rose rapidly, such as Krupp.

Whether it was converted to civilian use or rebuilt, they were deeply committed to those humiliating pasts, and then they supported the Nazis with all their hearts.

Like Friedrich, many Krupp people have their only job in their lives to serve Krupp, to be part of this vast factory, to be proficient in their own work.

It is precisely because of the existence of these "parts" that Krupp will grow into a military-industrial giant.

Perhaps because of the skills of these skilled workers or engineers, they can still survive well without Krupp, but when Krupp is forced to face the fate of being dismantled, Krupp people can still feel the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.

What can I do for him?

This is a question that everyone asks themselves.

Man is the most paradoxical creature in the world, and perhaps three months ago, when things went wrong with their lives, these workers took to the streets to strike and demand better pay. But when the factory on which they live is forced to dismantle, these same people stand up and are willing to defend their right to work with their lives.

In other words, it should be the right to live.

When survival is threatened, it is understandable that one does whatever it takes.

The workers gathered at the gate of the Krupp factory were agitated, and they clamored loudly and approached the convoy as if they were about to start a riot.

The guards protecting the convoy lined up to meet them, but they had little momentum, and retreated step by step as the workers advanced.

It was precisely because of the army's ineffective fighting that the signing of the "Armistice Agreement" led to the current situation, and the soldiers really did not have the confidence to face the workers who worked hard to support them.

In fact, the soldiers would not even be willing to leave the barracks if it were not for the duty.

The soldiers could not face the world calmly, and although the military department had not yet conceded defeat, it was clear that the German government and the opposition had placed the blame for the defeat on the army.

The reasons for Germany's defeat were complex, the absence of strong allies was one thing, overestimating one's own capabilities, and at the same time underestimating the capabilities of its opponents.

It is obviously unfair to put all the reasons for the defeat on the army, but no one speaks for them, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has just "fled" from France.

Under such a premise, the soldiers' gaze was obviously wandering in the face of the angry expressions of the workers, which caused them to have no deterrent effect, and their movements were even a little weak.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Christopher asked the current head of Krupp, Gustav, to come forward.

Gustav was a former diplomat, and Kaiser Wilhelm II personally arranged his marriage to Bertha, the granddaughter of Krupp founder Alfred, in order to gain more control over Krupp.

Gustav was the current head of Krupp, and it was clear that he had high prestige among the workers, and when Gustav came forward, tens of thousands of people in the scene were silent.

His factory was about to be dismantled, but he couldn't do anything about it. Even the fact that even himself, the owner of the factory, had already decided to give up, but that the workers in the factory spontaneously organized themselves to protect the factory, made Gustav unable to calm down.

Gustav looked around at everything he was familiar with, and only said in a deep, almost choked voice, "Calm down, my brothers, this will not solve the problem." ”

"Sir, talk to them again, there will be a way." There are workers begging in tears.

"We can't watch the factory being demolished, whoever dares to have this idea, I will smash his head!" Someone is ready to resort to force.

"Mr. Diplomat, you can't be indifferent just because you didn't create this factory!" Some people cut off their robes and cut off righteousness.

"Gustav, you traitor......" someone shouted.

It cannot be said that Gustav has no prestige, only because many people have served Krupp all their lives, and they have already started working for Krupp before Gustav joined the Krupp family, and even their ancestors have worked for Krupp.

In the eyes of those "old qualifications", Gustav is an outsider.

"Mr. Friedrich, please send a few workers' representatives, and we will have a closed-door meeting." Gustav was goal-oriented.

Even in the face of insults, Gustav still did not move, and his self-cultivation was indeed good.

"Yes sir, but those people can't enter the factory until the results are in." Friedrich was also goal-oriented.

Just before the "Lanfang delegation" arrived at the Krupp factory, rumors about the goals of the "Lanfang delegation" had already been flying in the sky, and several versions had been derived.

It can be said that it is neglected, or it can be said that it is deliberately connived, anyway, Gustav did not come forward to explain and clarify the purpose of the "Lanfang delegation", so there are various versions of rumors that continue to ferment.

If you can't enter the factory, then the meeting can't be held in the factory.

This is not a problem, as a giant company, like the Renault plant, Krupp also has its own hotel, so the meeting is held in the hotel conference room.

The current shortage of materials in Germany can be seen from the furnishings of the hotel conference room, the flowers in the middle of the conference round table are still in full bloom, but the wall decoration and wallpaper are a bit old, although if you don't look carefully and there are no traces of careful repair, but just repair rather than redecorate, which in itself is proof of material shortage.

Not redecorating does not mean that Krupp is more frugal, in fact, at the level of Krupp, they do not need to tinker with those things to whitewash their corporate culture, only the Japanese who have no confidence like to tinker with those things.

In fact, the quality of German and Japanese products is different, but the impression of German products is "sophisticated", while Japanese products give the impression of "savvy", and the difference is intriguing.

“…… To sum up, Lanfang will acquire the Krupp factory to form a new 'Franconian' company, and set up factories in Corsica, France, Daqing City, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang......" conference room, Long Chengxuan, who studied in Germany and is proficient in German, explained the acquisition.

In addition to Christopher, Gustav, Friedrich and the "Lanfang delegation", there were more than a dozen representatives of workers from the Krupp factory. It is said that it is the representatives of the workers, but in fact, they are all managers of various production and R&D departments in the Krupp factory.

What's what? Workers' representatives must be workers? Don't be funny!

Workers also have classes, and Christopher, who has retired after working all his life, definitely earns more than the young man who has just entered the factory. And if you look for workers' representatives from the factory, the managers have an inherent advantage because of their own abilities and scope of functions.

Daqing is the Balikpapan oil field located in Borneo.

The Dutch East Indies have been swept into the pile of old papers, and those place names such as Balikpapan, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan must be changed, and those that already have Chinese place names, such as Surabaya and Coconut City (Batavia), continue to use Chinese place names.

Because there are oil fields in Balikpapan, Daqing has become Qin Zhiyuan's first choice, and Daqing in another time and space is called "Anda County" at this time, not to mention oil, there are not even a few villages.

"Franconian Company" is a newly established company, as you can tell from the name, this is a company with French, Lanfang and Krupp backgrounds, and the Chinese interpretation of this name may be a bit evocative, but the French spelling does not cause any ambiguity.

Hearing Long Chengxuan's explanation, Christopher and the others were expressionless.

No matter how rosy the prospect is depicted by Long Chengxuan, it cannot change the fact that Krupp has changed hands.

“…… In the future, the company "Franck" will return to Germany at the right time and rebuild "Krupp" in Germany. Therefore, in order to preserve technical ability and skilled workers, so that the time can come smoothly, the workers in the Krupp factory can now choose to join the 'Franconian company', and the place of work can be in Corsica or Daqing, and for this part of the workers who join the 'Franconian company', in addition to their own salary, they will also receive a business trip allowance as an additional payment. Long Chengxuan didn't care whether Christopher was listening or not, and promoted the new "Frank Company" on his own.

For this part, Christopher and they still listen more attentively, because it involves their own interests.

The Germans do have excellent discipline, and no one has tried to intervene during Long Chengxuan's introduction, which is not to say that Christopher has no problem with Long Chengxuan's words, but basic politeness and respect.

"For those workers who do not want to join the 'Franconian Company', we have prepared a sum of cash for them, of course, if they do not want cash, they can also choose equivalent daily necessities such as food and clothing, and the price of water is as follows four years ago...... As a reminder, it is more cost-effective to ask for food and clothing, because in the future, the mark will definitely depreciate. Long Chengxuan ended his introduction with a reminder.

No one immediately asked, Christopher and the others looked at each other, clearly hesitating.

"So, now that you know about our 'Frank Company,' how about I suggest that we adjourn the meeting for the time being and continue in an hour?" Zhang Tianyun, who knew human nature well, got up and said in French, and Long Chengyuan served as the simultaneous translator.

Of course, Christopher and they also need time to assess the sincerity of the "Franconian company", as well as the pros and cons of these terms.

"So, I have some brochures here, you can take a look, these are some of the benefits of our company, every employee can have." Zhang Tianyun lost no time in holding a large stack of beautifully printed pamphlets and distributing them.

So far, the communication has been good.
