Since being sent to Europe by Zhang Tinglan, Xia Han has keenly discovered that this is the most haode opportunity, Europe has just experienced the turmoil of the Great War and the flu, tens of millions of people have died, cities have decayed, factories have stopped, there is chaos everywhere, and there are ruined scenes everywhere.

Especially Germany, the main defeated country, the country was torn apart, the army was almost completely disbanded, unemployment and depression gripped the country, for Germany, this is the most humiliating moment, but for adventurers like Xia Han, it is a paradise.

Just as countless Westerners see China as a treasure trove of wealth, Xia Han has put all his mind on how to get the most out of Europe. He, Kuang Rongguang and others first transported back to Mukden the machinery and equipment that the Feng army urgently needed and could not be bought with money, and after the industries of the three eastern provinces digested these things, they developed rapidly as if they had eaten the Ten Perfection Pills.

However, Xia Han did not return to China together, he was not satisfied with the original idea of taking a handful and leaving, but was ready to make a long-term network in Europe, and continue to provide the Feng army with the necessary machinery and equipment and Jishu talents.

There are two aspects to this net, the first is normal trade, which can be bought and sold directly, without causing restrictions on the Entente; The other is a secret smuggling channel, using various ways to get those important military equipment and jishu, and when necessary, even kidnapping the top jishu talents.

After Xia Han reported his idea to Zhang Tinglan, he immediately got Zhang Tinglan's support, and used all the liliang to give Xia Han enough support.

In the past few months, considerable results have been achieved, and a special labor company has been set up in Berlin Summer Cold to recruit unemployed German senior workers. Germany, which had just been defeated, was severely unemployed, and there was a shortage of food and fuel. Almost all of them are hungry and struggling to make ends meet.

Xia Han's labor company is known for its high salaries, which is sought after by many Germans and has become well-known in Berlin. As long as the skills are recognized by the labor company, they can get a large amount of settling-in allowance, and can also receive food and canned food, enough for the family to live, if it is a top talent in some industries, you can even immigrate with the whole family and enjoy a good salary. A stable life.

Although it may be a kind of disloyalty to abandon one's home country and work in another country at such a juncture, everyone has to live and everyone has a family to take care of. Therefore, Xia Han's labor service companies often queue up.

There was goose feather snow in the sky, and in front of the company's door stood a group of shivering people. They've been waiting here for a long time. The company opened as scheduled and began to understand the expertise of these people.

Xia Han had just returned from France, where the situation was not much better than that of Germany, France suffered heavy losses during the war, and now it was also a depression, Xia Han successfully bribed French officials. Just smuggled one hundred and forty machine tools.

These machines were originally German, but after the French won the victory, they were shipped back home as trophies. But they don't need these things, thousands of high-end machine tools can only be piled up in the wilderness, as scrap metal, to be blown by the wind and rain.

Xia Han, who had managed a steel mill, knew best how precious these scrap iron was, and for Mukden, whose industry was just starting, it was a mountain of gold, and everything could drive him crazy. Due to French restrictions, Xia Han had to pretend to be American companies to ship these machines to the United States in the name of recycling scrap steel, and then send them back to China.

In the past few months, he has become familiar with this kind of thing, and the batch of machine tools sent back this time is the key equipment for processing diesel engine parts. After Fengjun tasted the sweetness of armored vehicles, it was natural to continue to expand production capacity, but the domestic production capacity of large tractors was seriously insufficient, so it could only fight Germany's idea.

After returning to Berlin again, Xia Han only felt more overcast, this winter is definitely the saddest day for the Germans, but the more sad, the more opportunities they have, Xia Han secretly clenched his fists, he must take advantage of the opportunity in front of him to get as many talents as possible.

"Anne, give each of the gentlemen who sent the team a cup of hot coffee, they have been waiting here for a long time."

Xia Han walked into the office, and a girl like a golden cat heard this and hurriedly stood up: "Boss, you are really a kind person, God will bless you!" ”

"I do not believe in your God, but in conscience." Xia Han said and sat on the wide office chair, and an old German worker in his fifties looked at Xia Han tremblingly.

"Sir, drink a little coffee first, warm your body, and then introduce your expertise, I will consider whether to hire you."

The old worker drank the hot coffee in a few sips, and the warm liquid also rejuvenated him: "Honorable sir, I am a senior welder at the Hamburg shipyard, and I am involved in the German battleship Frederick the Great and the Frontier Governor. The tens of thousands of tons of steel giants were launched from the slipway and out into the ocean, and that was the proudest time of my life, when we all believed that these best warships would help Germany win the war. ”

When the old man said this, he was also a little choked, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: "You also know the situation later, Germany was defeated, we can no longer develop the navy, there is no need to build large warships, everyone is unemployed, and young people still have the strength to do something else, but I don't know anything but welding, I hope Mr. can provide a job, and my family and I will be grateful to you!" ”

As he spoke, the old worker took out two commemorative medals issued by the German government from his pocket, and asked for his work certificate and technician's certificate, which were the testimonials of his almost life, both honor and tears.

Xia Han looked at it, and he had already determined that the old man was not lying, and this was indeed a superb welding talent.

"Sir, I want to know if you would like to work in the East, to be precise in China, where there is a fledgling shipyard that is in dire need of talents like you."

The old man frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly: "Sir, isn't your company recruiting workers for the United States, and Weishenme is going to China?" ”

"Of course you can choose the United States, but if you go to China, you can not only get twice the salary, but you can also take your family with you. Also, if you are willing to take an apprentice. You'll also get a special allowance to ensure you live comfortably! ”

As soon as the old worker heard that the salary was doubled, his eyes suddenly widened, he was already old, and he continued to stay in Germany, there was no suitable job left for her, maybe he would freeze to death on the street at any time, as long as the salary was sufficient, it might be a good choice to go to China.

He couldn't wait to agree, "I do." I do! ”

Xia Han casually sent a form to him, and said with a smile: "Fill in all the information truthfully, you can receive ten dollars of temporary living expenses first, and I will notify you when the ship is ready!" ”

Just when Xia Han was talking to the old worker. The rest of the personnel had finished their hot coffee, and the chill had been dispelled. They also suddenly had more good feelings for Xia Han. This is a kind and kind boss, if he can be recruited, maybe life really reappears hopeful.

Crowded, Xia Han's work is getting busier and busier, and after a morning, he has recruited a total of many talents of all kinds. There were welders, fitters, and even a mathematician, all of whom Mukden desperately needed.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who use fake documents to deceive. All of them were driven away by Xia Han, just when he finally stretched his waist. Suddenly, two tall young men walked in from outside, these two people were very strong, their eyes were sharp, Xia Han knew at a glance that they were coming out of the army.

The two men walked up to Xia Han and said to him, "Sir, please come with us." ”

Although Xia Han was upset in his heart, he also knew that it was useless to resist at this time, so he honestly followed the two young people and left the company.

They got into a car, and then walked through the streets and alleys to a quaint building, and Xia Han was taken in to an office façade. The whole atmosphere along the way was gloomy and depressing, and Xia Han was even worried that he would be killed by unknown people.

"Your Excellency, General, we have brought people here according to your request."

"Let him in."

After Xia Han walked in, he saw an old general sitting behind the wide desk, he was thin, his eyes were red, and his face was covered with a thick layer of tiredness, looking very tired.

After seeing Xia Han walk in, he reluctantly showed a smile, and then said, "Young man, sit down, I want to talk to you." ”

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hans, von Seckert, and I am the new Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht. Young man, should you also introduce to me who you are serving, wantonly recruiting German industrial talents, and even smuggling equipment, all of which are endangering the interests of Germany, and I can shoot you at any time! ”

Xia Han didn't expect this old scumbag to be the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht, and suddenly saw such a big man, Xia Han couldn't help but be a little nervous, but when he saw that the commander-in-chief actually roared at himself, Xia Han's heart relaxed a lot, as the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't show its teeth, and he roars like this, just to scare people.

"Mr. Seckert, I'm just an ordinary businessman, and it's normal to recruit talents. Although this is a bit of a robbery by taking advantage of Germany's defeat, from another point of view, I am helping Germany solve the problem of hunger and unemployment, and you should be grateful for my work. ”

Seckert sneered: "Young man, it is useless to be sharp-toothed, I just want to know now, who are you serving, answer me honestly, is it an American, or a Japanese?" If you don't tell the truth, your life will come to an end, and you must know that it is very easy to think that the commander-in-chief wants to crush an ant. ”

"Mr. Seckert, you don't need to scare me, if you are afraid, you will not go to Germany, I can only say that your conjectures are all wrong."

Seckert sat down in a chair with an incredible expression on his face, and he not only asked: "As far as I know, China does not have any industrial base, your Hanyang Iron Works and Gongxian Arsenal are both imported from Germany, but they are already quite backward, and they are not well managed, and there is a lack of supporting factories, so they can't digest these high-end talents at all." ”

"There is a saying in China that Shibei should be impressed for three days!" Xia Han had already noticed Seckert's expression, this guy didn't have much hostility, on the contrary, he had some expectations. Just take a gamble, if you can get cooperation with him, it will be easier to get German jishu in the future.

"We are also making continuous progress, and we have built a number of factories, and we are in need of a large number of Jishu talents to enrich them."

Seckert suddenly got up from his seat, slowly paced around the table, and after walking a few times, he suddenly said, "Young man, we may be able to work together!" ”

Seckert said very seriously: "The damn Treaty of Versailles has limited Germany's military liliang, our defense industry, and military training have been severely restricted, and they want to destroy the German army." But I would like to say that this is wishful thinking, Germany will be revived sooner or later, and my mission now is to leave the spark of revival for Germany! (To be continued......)
