Chapter 13: Ludwig's Origins.

By the beginning of the 60s, the Krupp Group's steel production had doubled its pre-war level, making it one of the twelve largest companies in the world at that time.

However, the fourth-generation heir, who was smooth sailing, suddenly made a decision that went against his ancestors - to hand over the family business to professional managers and concentrate on enjoying life himself, obsessed with photography, sports cars and sailing.

This seems to be a relatively normal thing now, but more than half a century ago, it was a very advanced concept - asking an "outsider" to manage the business instead of his own son or younger siblings is almost equivalent to completely giving up the family industry accumulated for generations and the "glory" of Krupp!

By 1967, as the wealthy began to be subject to high inheritance taxes, the fourth-generation heirs quickly formed an Alfred Krupp Fund with the assets in their own names. In the same year, the fourth generation of heirs died.

His only son, Alfred Krupp, was a "young man of wastewood", who was supposed to be the fifth generation of heirs, but after receiving an annuity of 2 million marks per year, he happily renounced Krupp's inheritance.

Because the "Krupp Family Succession Law" of 1943 was still in force, he even gave up the surname "Krupp" and replaced it with the surname of his grandfather before he "entered the family", and changed his name to Alfred von Boren. Halbach.

In 1986, Alfred von Boren, a lifelong alcoholic and debt-ridden man. Halbach died of cancer, leaving no children in his marriage.

The Krupp family seems to have come to an end forever.

The Krupp Group you see today is in 1999, Krupp and Thyssen merged to form the ThyssenKrupp Group, which is a completely modern enterprise, and has nothing to do with the former "Imperial Chariot Krupp".

But Gustav and Berta had five sons, and the death of the fifth generation of heirs did not mean the end of the Krupp family.

The world is moving at a rapid pace, in the 20s, 30s, 40s...... In the late '50s, the New Eden Project was formed, and gifted children from all over the world gathered here to be socialized, including Ludwig, who was not known by Alfred's name at the time.

During the death depression that lasted throughout the late 60s and 70s, Blue Feather and his party relied on their genius IQ to stir up trouble in the stock and futures markets. On the eve of the Death Depression, they borrowed money from the bank with their assets to get a decent sum of money (how could a family who could send their children to Project New Eden be poor).

Then he intervened in the futures market with a large amount of money, and was a long seller of bulk materials such as gold, silver, coal, steel, copper, zinc, and grain, and a short seller of national bonds, currencies, stocks, and real estate indices of various countries.

Through the huge wealth obtained from this capital operation, they took a fancy to ThyssenKrupp, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, and with Ludwig's special status, the Krupp inheritance law came into effect again!

For the fourth time, the Imperial Chariot began to operate, fighting for the ideals shared by a group of people. The finger is pointed at the corporation – the corporation is a synonym, a proxy for the vampires who parasitize the bodies of civilization. The company's departments are referred to by time zones.

For example, the consortium behind the White House, the Freemasonry that actually controls the consortium, is the western fourth division of the company. Another example, a group of flies that are desperately buzzing on the red warriors, that's Higashi Hachibu!
