The history of humanity is the history of violence.

December 23, 1866

Seven o'clock in the morning,

In winter, Texas is just seeing the white belly of the East.

As the sun rises, the Smith factory area across Texas welcomes a new group of factory owners.

The clothing of these factory owners was designed by Tom according to the military uniform of later generations.

Stand-up collar, black suit, ribbon, sabre, boots and shoes......

Many ceremonial items that were only available to high-ranking military officers in this era appeared on every factory owner.

Knowing the people, knowing that these are the new factory owners of the Smith Factory District;

I don't know people, I thought it was a group of high-ranking officers.

"From today onwards, each of you will be responsible for the production of one factory."

"As for what are the raw materials? What is the production process? Where will the products go? ”

"It's all about you!"

"Got it?"

An officer who dresses in a style similar to most factory owners, but whose rank is significantly higher, is like this group of new factory owners.

“Ja. Chef！ (German, chief)

"Go ahead! For the glory of the Germans! ”

“Ja！”

The factory owners' uniform answers make people suspicious.

Are these factory owners or military personnel?

Both.

Each of the new factory owners is a veteran of the German army.

These former German veterans have sharp and angular faces, and they are cold and serious.

The veterans walked in the footsteps of soldiers that the workers around them had never seen before, and stepped on long boots and military boots, and entered one factory after another in the Smith factory area.

In Germany, especially in North Germany, every country is faced with the dilemma of being surrounded by strong neighbors and at any time in a state of chaos.

In order to alleviate the pressure of insufficient military forces due to the sparse population, the governments of these countries have introduced compulsory compulsory education and universal conscription laws throughout the country.

Every adult male in Germany has received the most basic education and rigorous militarized training.

But can the economy of the German region really support the long-term service of so many soldiers?

Apparently not.

The states of the German region could only return these high-quality soldiers to society and recall them in time of war.

But in Europe, where strict tax laws and stratification are serious, can these high-quality soldiers have no worries about food and clothing at home?

Tell Tom about Tom's fused memories of Frederick.

The Kingdom of Prussia, the most powerful state in North Germany, could not guarantee that every citizen would have enough to eat.

It was clear that the German monarch could not afford to feed and clothe these well-educated people.

But Tom can.

Relying on the convenience of blood and birth, Tom has been looking for middle-aged German veterans with his family on a large scale since he moved into Texas.

Tom's "recruitment" criteria are threefold:

1. It is not harmful to be between 30 and 40 years old, preferably in war, and slightly disabled.

2. Have a few children who are eleven or twelve-year-old or younger.

3. There are parents in their fifties and sixties who need to be supported.

The summary is that there are old and young.

To be honest, with such a simple request, Tom didn't find many people in the previous months.

For no other reason, the average life expectancy in Germany at this time was only about 30 years old, and it was too difficult to find some middle-aged men with parents.

In desperation, Tom could only relax the criteria and list the third item as a plus, not a must.

Eventually, Tom selected 10,000 veteran families from the German regional races.

The total population is about 50,000.

These people's labor force has been ravaged by harsh tax laws and hard labor, and if they are subjected to heavy manual labor, they will lose the same bonus points.

Died of exhaustion.

Tom wasn't going to let them do heavy physical labor either.

The veterans are responsible for taking over the responsibilities of the factory owners and maintaining the production of the factory.

Tom learned from the separation of powers in the federal government of the United States and divided the powers of the factory owners into three.

Raw material warehouse management, production link management, finished product warehouse management.

To be precise, it should be said that there are two kinds of warehouse manager positions, a production manager position, but Tom deliberately refers to them as factory managers, that is, factory owners.

It can also be called a factory owner.

The factory owners in charge of the three areas have no contact with each other, and the transportation is handled by the local transportation team.

There is no oil or water in the state.

The export of finished products is the key to Smith's profitability.

The biggest link in this oil and water is the whole process controlled by the descendants of the Smith family.

There are many loopholes in this system, but Tom is convinced that it can work, at least for decades.

First, Tom takes advantage of human nature.

A person who earns a million a year, Tom tells them to do a job that earns a million a year, he just takes it for granted.

And the man who earns 10,000 a year, Tom asks him to do a job that should earn 1 million, but only gives him an annual salary of 15,000.

Suppose this person who used to earn 10,000 a year doesn't know how much his job is worth, what will he do?

Bow down to Tom.

The veterans and the new factory owners that Tom will arrange for them after they retire are all people at the bottom of the upper class who have not been involved in high society, and they don't know how critical the position they sit in.

The veterans only know Tom as a "fellow".

Saving veterans from a war-torn place in Germany, where income is precarious, and where conscription and compulsory conscription may be at any time.

Arrange a living environment for veterans to have no worries about food and clothing, and their children can receive elite education.

Give veterans a salary and a stable and easy job that they never dared to imagine before.

He also told the veterans that you don't have to participate in the war anymore.

Do you think these veterans who survived should bow down to Tom?

What if some veterans feel that they deserve a higher salary?

That's the second thing - the alienation of the factory owner.

Tom can bully customers and alienate three types of factory owners.

If we look at the work and labor of each factory owner individually, it is difficult to realize the value of these labor after detaching from the theme of the Smith factory.

Because of the unique pseudo-modular production of the Smith plant, each plant does not even know that it is in the big machine of the Smith factory area.

How much value is it really in a factory/warehouse that you manage yourself?

How much value does your work really have to this big machine?

That's right, Tom relied on his monopoly on the entire industry in Texas to create a strange phenomenon - turning the executives of the factory into "employees" on the assembly line.

The executives of these factories are alienated from the fruits of their management.

The factory owners of Tom's Smith Smith Factory's Smith Complex, they are no longer the decision-makers around the factory.

Rather, it is a group of implementers who follow Tom's decisions step by step and unconditionally.

They were the "assembly line employees" who assembled Tom's orders.

I have only heard of capitalists who are not satisfied with their income every day, and there are very few assembly line workers who are not satisfied with their income every day.

What's more, Tom forcibly refers to all three types of people as factory owners.

Let these three kinds of factory owners, even if they know how much profit the outside factory owners have in the future, when the veterans know how much the outside factory owners need to do.

Veterans will think that they can't do so much work, that their factory owners are not worthy of their name, and that it is normal for them to be paid less.
