During the World War, the British Vickers Company used Krupp's technology to produce artillery shells for Britain. After the war, it paid patent fees based on the number of German casualties, which put Krupp in an embarrassing position.
At the same time, the Weimar Republic paid a large amount of subsidies to Krupp. With these two sums of money, Krupp completed a magnificent turnaround in less than a year after the war and once again became a first-class military industrial enterprise in Germany and even Europe.
Gustav Krupp has always been leaning towards the German Workers' Party. Now, in addition to being the head of Krupp, Gustav is also the president of the Deutsche Industrie and the chairman of the fund committee that donates to the German Workers' Party.
It can be said that he is one of the sponsors of Mustache.
A considerable part of Southern Africa's investment in Germany is carried out through Krupp, so the Southern African federal government attaches great importance to Krupp's visit. Gustav Krupp even stayed in Rhodes
The family estate in Pretoria.
The Rhodes family's estate in Pretoria is also well-known. George V lived here when he came to southern Africa. Gustav Krupp was good at dancing and held a ceremony on the day he came to Pretoria.
The guests invited to the dinner were all Germans who had achieved success in various walks of life in southern Africa, including Ade and Abu.
Abu happily accepted the appointment, but Luo City was far away from Pretoria and Abu could not arrive in time.
Adze refused Gustav's invitation on the grounds of physical discomfort. As an elderly person, it's understandable——
Roque also received the invitation, but Roque refused to attend due to busy official duties. It is said that only about 30 guests attended Gustav's dinner that night, and their status was not very important. Brad's office recorded them one by one.
It doesn’t have to be a liquidation, at least you have to have a clear idea.
"Gustav didn't do anything extraordinary. The dinner was a fundraiser for the German Workers' Party. Although Professor Kausser did not attend, he sent someone 10,000 rand - but this morning, Professor Kausser gave his wife
The foundation donated R100,000——" Sidney Milner suppressed a smile. Zach gradually retreated behind the scenes due to physical reasons. Sidney Milner was the second director of Bullard's office appointed by Rock.
Candidate.
"Hehehehe, there is absolutely no need for Professor Kausor to be like this -" Rock laughed, and Abu was too cautious. With his status, even if he donated money to the Workers' Party, Rock would not take it seriously.
Abu is now one of the leading figures in the field of science and technology in Southern Africa. He has grown from a professor to a millionaire famous all over the world. Abu's story has been widely circulated and talked about, and he has become one of the representatives of the Southern African Dream.
.
Abramovich has always been very restrained on issues related to Germany. After winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine and the Star Award at the same time, several well-known universities, including Cambridge in the United Kingdom and Harvard in the United States, as well as the Medical School of Heidelberg University where Abramovich previously worked,
They all extended an olive branch to Abu, hoping that he could teach, or even conduct academic exchanges.
Abu declined all invitations and stayed at the University of Nyasaland wholeheartedly. During this period, he even declined invitations from the Johannesburg Medical College and the Federal Ministry of Health.
Roque had nothing to say to people like Abu. If you repay me with your country's honors, I will treat you with your country's honors.
"Mr. Gustav Krupp also proposed to Edward Shipyard that he hopes to visit Edward Shipyard and at the same time visit the former Germania Shipyard engineers and technicians working in Edward Shipyard." Sidney Milner
With a sarcastic sneer on his lips, Gustav regretted it now that it was too late.
Germania Werft was a naval shipyard that built submarines for Germany during World War I.
After the end of the World War, Edward Shipyard absorbed a large number of engineering personnel from Germania Shipyard, and even moved the entire Germania Shipyard to Port Edward. This also laid a good foundation for Edward Shipyard to build "ghost submarines".
It can be said that without Germania Shipyard, there would be no ghost submarine today.
"Don't even think about it. If he wants to buy a ghost submarine, he can just contact the Ministry of Defense directly - that won't work, Germany currently does not have the ability to equip submarines." Roark directly vetoed it, not giving Gustav Krupp any chance.
Maybe Gustav Krupp didn't have any bad intentions and was just nostalgic.
But Rock didn't want to take risks. Although most Germans were very aware of current affairs, there were also some Germans who were stubborn and wanted to return to Germany if they were tempted by Gustav Krupp——
So simply don't give Gustav Krupp any chance.
According to the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany cannot even build naval warships, let alone submarines, so Gustav Krupp's dream was in vain.
It can’t be said that it was all in vain. Bullard’s office learned a long time ago that Gustav Krupp has been secretly building a naval dock in the Netherlands and also conducting artillery research in Sweden. This man is still ambitious and capable.
power.
Later, Gustav Krupp came to the Palace of Justice as a guest, and Roque personally received him.
This is a standard German, with a bald head, a large forehead, deep eye sockets, and a mustache like a mustache. He is short in stature, strong and powerful, agile in movement, neatly dressed, and has a sonorous and powerful voice, giving people a sense of trustworthiness.
.
"——Germany is on the right path of recovery. We have hard-working and capable people and the determination to build a country from the ruins. Now we have strong leaders. I believe that as long as Germany is given enough time, Germany will
It will definitely rise again - then all your investments, my lord, will be richly rewarded!" Gustav is proficient in English and is good at using body movements to enhance the appeal of language. He clenches his fists and puts them on his chest at every turn. This kind of
Action, Rock has often seen in Mustache's video materials.
It seems that Gustav Krupp was really greatly influenced by the mustache.
"Southern Africa is different from the United Kingdom and the United States, and even more so from the despicable French. In the World War, Germany could be said to have been defeated by Southern Africa. However, the vast majority of Germans do not hate Southern Africa. You are opponents worthy of respect.
The Germans were not given pain outside of the war, and we have always been grateful-" Gustav Krupp had a good impression of southern Africa. This feels strange, although Gustav Krupp's tone
He didn't seem convinced, but Roque didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt a little benefited.
Then Roark understood why Wilhelm II chose Gustav Krupp as the head of Krupp.
Gustav Krupp's original name was Gustav von Bohlen Onder Halbach, a former Prussian diplomat——
Hehe, this is such a good name——
long!
In 1902, Friedrich Alfred Krupp, the second generation president of the Krupp Company, committed suicide due to a homosexual scandal that was exposed by the press, leaving only one daughter, Beta Krupp.
In order to provide Krupp with a successor, Wilhelm II personally selected Gustav as Beta Krupp's husband and allowed Gustav to bear the surname "Krupp".
According to Chinese tradition, Gustav was the son-in-law who came to the house.
As a diplomat, there is no doubt about Gustav's language ability. His flattery is just right and leaves no trace. This is called realm.
Of course, this is also because the Southern African Expeditionary Force did not cause the Germans any suffering other than war.
After the end of the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force did not station troops in Germany. The Americans stationed troops in Germany.
With the virtue of Americans, the crimes they committed while stationed in Germany are too numerous to mention. Therefore, even though the Americans have given a lot of aid to the Germans, the vast majority of Germans are not grateful to the United States. Instead, they have used Germans on the battlefield.
Southern Africa, which was completely conquered, gained more respect from the Germans.
This, of course, has a lot to do with the humanitarian aid provided to Germany in southern Africa after the end of the world war.
You must know that during the Paris Peace Conference, before the Allies decided how to deal with Germany, Southern Africa had already begun to provide assistance to Germany.
In fact, it didn’t cost much, just some cans, clothes, etc., and it attracted many high-quality German talents to immigrate to southern Africa. This is the real profit.
"Germany is now in an unprecedented difficult period. Thousands of Germans are living like animals. The leftovers dumped in restaurants can attract dozens of Germans to rob. The tenant farmers are empty-handed, the landowners have left their hometowns, and young people cannot find a job.
When it comes to work, middle-aged people commit suicide in despair - Lord, help us -" Gustav Krupp's eyes were red. The economic crisis has entered its second year. People are starving to death in the United Kingdom and the United States. The situation in Germany can be imagined.
Know.
That is to say, after the number of unemployed people in the UK exceeded 2.5 million, the number of unemployed people in the United States has exceeded 10 million.
The total population of the United States has just exceeded 100 million, and there are 10 million unemployed people——
Rock couldn't even understand that the United States was already in this situation and still had the ability to assist Germany——
"I know, I understand, I understand -" Rock sighed, struggling in his heart.
Even though he struggled, Roque did not agree to aid Germany on the spot.
The Germans are indeed very pitiful, but the principle cannot be changed. It is still based on that willingness. Rock does not want to assist Germany with money or materials, which will eventually turn into bullets and artillery shells hitting southern Africa.
But what Rock didn't expect was that the next morning, Ade and Abu came to see Rock together.
This time Rock finally had no reason to refuse.
Rock could reject Gustav Krupp, but he could not reject Ade and Abu.
Ad and Abu don't know who Mustache is.
They simply hope that southern Africa can give ordinary Germans some help within their capabilities.
