"In that case, I need to do more preparation." "Chief, before I leave, I want to meet the Krupp family," said Shrek

Krupp family! Hitler was immediately excited: "do you want me to go with you?"

"Chief, I'll explore the way first and try the bottom line of the Krupp family, so as to facilitate your next action." "The Krupp family has helped us a lot this time, and we have to express our gratitude," hirek said

Hilrick will explore the way first. What if Gustav doesn't like Hitler? It's quite shameless to shut the door directly, and the reason for sirik's going is, of course, to thank him!

Hitler nodded: "yes, Shrek, you are considerate. It would be great if you could conquer the Krupp family to our side."

Hitler certainly knew that the support of the Krupp family was too important for his great career!

Although it is imminent to go to Italy, it is not bad for these days. Taking this opportunity, Shrek happens to go to Berlin to visit the following Krupp families!

Moreover, Chirac has a hunch that his trip will be very smooth, not only because of his relationship with Hannah and Alfred, but also because Hitler's prestige is gradually improving!

Gustav must think that only Hitler can make Germany shameful! So as to join our own camp!

Now, it is the summer of 1924. In a manor in the south of Berlin, it is quiet and peaceful.

"Hannah, what are you doing?" The door of the room on the second floor was pushed open, and Bertha Krupp, Hannah's mother, couldn't help but say, looking at her lost daughter in front of the window.

Hearing her mother's question, Hannah turned her head and looked at her mother. Her eyes had betrayed her. She was worried now.

"Your brother has told me." Bertha said, "I hear you like a retired officer, and he has been in prison?"

"Mom, you can't look down on brother Shrek. He's the real hero!" Hannah immediately said, "he is the man who can save our German destiny. The times are calling for a hero like him."

When it comes to Shrek, Hannah's face is full of excitement.

"Well, now, the great hero in your mouth has come to our house. Do you want to have a look?" Said Bertha.

Hearing this, Hannah's eyes lit up: "really? Is brother Shrek here? He must have come to see me! God, I have to dress up, mom, help me choose clothes! "

Hannah didn't say to go. She was choosing her beautiful clothes! No matter which one I choose, I don't think it's suitable. Finally, I decided to put on the dress I wore when I first saw Shrek!

When Hannah came to her father's reception hall, she looked through the crack of the door and saw her father listening carefully to Shrek.

The servants all left. It was obviously a secret meeting.

"Our Empire cannot be without advanced military forces and weapons. Due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, we cannot develop our weapons. Therefore, we must plan ahead and find other ways." Shrek talked freely.

In the name of returning the car, Shrek knocked on the door of Krupp's house. The time to come was carefully selected. Gustav was at home, so Shrek and Gustav had their first meeting.

Now, Gustav is in his fifties. He has been in charge of the Krupp family business for nearly 20 years. During the time, wrinkles have precipitated on his face, and his eyes are still shining.

When he first met Gustav, Shrek thought he would succeed, but now Shrek knows that he is still too optimistic.

After all, Hitler is not in power yet!

Gustav's position would not all fall to Hitler! This diplomat born capitalist has a keen sense of politics, and it is interests that can move him in the end!

"What good advice do you have, Shrek?" Asked Gustav.

As a Krupp company based on military industry, it also began to decline after losing military orders. Now, Krupp company mainly depends on the production of exported weapons to survive, so it can't let go, which makes Gustav very unhappy.

"Pre research." Xierik said: "World War I has proved the great role of tanks, and in the future, if there is another large-scale war, tanks will definitely play a major role. Therefore, we need to carry out tank pre research from now on. Once necessary, we can put tanks into production in large quantities."

Gustav shook his head: "no, Britain and France have special personnel in our factory. We can't carry out pre research on new tanks under their eyes."

The Treaty of Versailles, of course, is not just talk! As a major military enterprise, Krupp is also a key target of supervision. The number of artillery and guns produced every day are recorded. It is difficult to make small moves under the eyes of Britain and France.

Now, even the senior military officials of the Weimar government hope Krupp will produce more weapons. Unfortunately, it's too difficult!

"If it is in Germany, it will certainly be difficult. If we find a deserted place, will it be much easier?" "Holland, Sweden and Europe are not suitable. We provide you with a more convenient place. What do you think?"

What Shrek said surprised Gustav.

Krupp's current position is quite embarrassing.

Before World War I, Vickers, a British manufacturer of shells, leased the patent right of Krupp fuze. After the war, the company paid royalties according to the number of German casualties.

That is to say, Krupp made a fortune with the sacrifice of German soldiers. With this money and subsidies from the government of the Weimar Republic, Gustav began secretly rearming Germany within a year of the armistice.

Gustav is also a man with ideals. He is determined to make the Krupp plant ready and work for the German armed forces again at the designated time. He will lose no time and experience. He secretly built submarine docks in the Netherlands and secretly improved artillery in Sweden.

These are the most secret, no one knows, but hilrick's words, intentionally or unintentionally, made it clear that the Netherlands and Sweden, as long as they say these, it's enough to make people tremble.

"We never believed that Germany was defeated. We firmly believe that Germany is the most powerful country in Europe and we will rule the whole Europe." Chirek said: "Krupp is the most reliable guarantee for us in the process of strengthening Germany! Mr. Gustav, Germany, I need you! "
