Chapter 1096

In one second, remember [?], To provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"Do you know how much money Krupp, or the Krupp group, made when the Empire was fighting all over the world?" Akado looked at Krupp in a cold sweat with a trace of banter and asked, "maybe you don't know how much money you have... Do you want my advisor to tell you?"

Krupp, of course, knows how much money he has, and how many times his wife's value has increased as the son-in-law of the Krupp family. In the past time, this little old man has almost doubled his career and turned Krupp, which was on the verge of bankruptcy after World War I, into a super group with dozens of subsidiaries.

His enterprise has developed from producing several single products such as artillery to a military industrial giant producing hundreds of products such as automobiles, tanks and artillery. The Imperial military's weapons and equipment, from submarines to machine gun tripods, are all branded with Krupp's trademark. And he also took advantage of the expansion of the Empire, zero cost annexation of the Belgian artillery factory and gun factory, his business to France and Spain.

Not only Krupp, but also Linus, whose assets expanded at least tenfold after the war in Germany. If he was just a plutocrat in Germany before the outbreak of the war, then the expansion war of the Third Reich definitely made the German plutocrat grow into a super plutocrat in the world.

The capitalists who begged Krupp to come forward were all speculators who rose by virtue of the expansion of the Empire. Their every cent was stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Empire and the enemy. But money stained with blood is money after all. They still become the richest people in the world.

If the third empire is not a paradise for these businessmen to invest and develop, then out of the third empire, the rest of the world is basically a hell for businessmen. In fact, we are only worried that the Fuehrer is used to this method of killing the chicken to get the eggs. We are worried that they will become the next "Linus" to be dealt with when the Fuehrer is used to it.

In fact, many of these businessmen were real patriots in those days. They don't want any money. They just rely on the face of akkado or the words of general hickett to advance the cost for the production of weapons for the national defense forces. They are just making a small contribution to the rise of Germany.

At that time, none of us had the wealth we have now. We only contributed thousands of rifles, hundreds of machine guns, and even provided a warehouse to secretly help hide a few airplanes... But the empire gave these unexpected rewards. After the partition of Poland, these patriots were allocated factory labor, even land and official positions.

As a result, people's patriotic enthusiasm is higher and their energy is more. Thousands of rifles have become hundreds of thousands of rifles, and hundreds of machine guns have become hundreds of thousands of machine guns; The factory opened enough production capacity and began to produce tanks blatantly. Fighter planes were pushed out of the warehouse one by one, becoming the vanguard of the war.

So the Empire's army was armed almost free of charge, and the Empire's iron and steel torrent brought down the enemy one by one【 ㄨ Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Norway, the Balkans, we can share more and more things, and the rising wealth makes us all keen on this "patriotic cause".

But what makes akado angry is that these businessmen forget their original intention. Before the soldiers on the front line can change into clean clothes and the mud on the tank can not be washed away, these businessmen, with their accountants and assistants, start to distribute the benefits. The wounded soldiers lying in the factory workshop of the occupied area looked at the men in suits with dull eyes, holding the place they had bought with their arms and intestines, bargaining and trading.

With the development of the war, the war dividend that the country can get is not even enough for these businessmen to share. Those plundered resources go directly into the pockets of these businessmen. When the state wants to use them, it needs to exchange them with more enemy resources in advance. That's why the state owes more and more because it has to pay for the continued use of resources in the occupied areas!

The more we fight, the more we owe. Can we stop fighting? Of course not! The capitalists are clamoring to pay off their debts. The country must pay off the debts it promised first. The only way to pay off these debts is to promise the enemy's resources in advance. Military generals are waiting for promotion and success, grassroots civilians are waiting for dividends and bonuses promised by capitalists... Almost everyone is counting on the victory of the next war, who dares not fight?

However, if the war continues, the state will borrow more and more resources from the capitalists, and more and more resources in the occupied areas will be used to repay these loans in the next war【 War is not only a bonus, but also a cost! Do disabled soldiers need to be appeased? Does the consumption of fuel weapons need to be replenished? Does the issue of occupation need to be solved A vicious circle, and the source of all this is the endless greed of capital.

"Fuehrer, in fact... We just need a guarantee." Krupp wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to akkado in a weak tone: "I also know that we are doing something that is not... Not suitable, but it is not illegal after all, and we... We also have our difficulties."

Too big a step, pulling eggs. It's too vivid to use this sentence to describe these German capitalists. In fact, in the capital operation of the whole Third Reich, these capitalists did not see much return on capital, and they were also forced to do so. The Empire only gave them a bunch of industries in the occupied area. If they could not sell the products produced by the production capacity, they would eventually go bankrupt. After all, from the source, their production materials are overdrawn, and everything is actually a castle in the air built on a cycle. State loans allow capitalists to produce free of charge, and then use fixed assets and cheap labor to repay the loans. Then capitalists can only rely on production capacity to recover the cost. When they sell to the state, the state still can't afford to pay for it, so they can only take these goods in the situation of loans, so that these capitalists will not go bankrupt... A cycle without head and tail, Can we say that the capitalists are really greedy and ignore the country“ If these people can't get Soviet factories and land, they will go bankrupt. They have all made contributions to this country, and now it is still the country that owes these people money... "Krupp pleaded one by one:" are you really cruel, let the meritorious officials of these countries go to the abyss of eternal doom? "“ Krupp! It's not as serious as you think Akkado wanted to explain these things first, but now he changed his mind and said to the old man who once supported him to become the head of state: "in fact, as long as these consortia and businessmen give up part of their interests, the empire is able to repay these people's debts and ensure that they will not go bankrupt." Interest, give up a part of interest. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Other people's money is not windblown, nor is it stolen by deception, but earned by legal means. Moreover, when they earn these benefits, they even help the country solve some problems. Why should people give up these benefits“ If you are still the Krupp who dared to give up some vested interests for the sake of the Empire, or the man who was willing to devote his life to revitalizing the empire with akkado at the beginning... Then tell those people behind you that as long as they are willing to step back, I will not regard them as the next Linus if I still have the Empire! " Akkado stares into Krupp's eyes and finally expresses his thoughts word by word. Krupp didn't look back. Instead, he looked at the very young head of Empire when he knew each other. Finally, he stood up and stuffed the handkerchief into his suit chest pocket. After a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a sincere tone: "akado, I am willing to give half of my property to help the empire through this difficulty..." "my friend, then I also promise you that your mountain villa will always be one of the safest places in the world." Akado stood up, went to Krupp and patted each other on the shoulder: "it's me who chilled the hearts of all patriots. After the war, I will give you a statement. But now, the Empire has to win the war, understand? "“ We forget our original idea. At the beginning, we just wanted to do something for our country, but in the end, we can't help putting our country behind our interests. " Krupp some lonely said: "compared to you this head of state, we do not really enough ah."“ Krupp, it is our comrades who are willing to let go of my words! Those who are prepared to be the same as Linus, those who are still prepared to destroy the Empire and extract benefits, are our enemies! " Akkado accompanied Krupp to the door of the office and finally said to him“ My Fuehrer! I'll take your words with me Krupp saluted a German, raised his hand and answered firmly—— Tomorrow the Dragon Spirit mends more, but also adds more outbreak! So tomorrow will be at least four more! Take this as proof!
