C2501 Ruhr Industrial Zone

On the first platform of the Berlin train station, the platform which should have been filled with people was now filled with people. All the passengers were driven to other platforms, leaving only the fully armed soldiers on the first platform.

A special train was parked beside the 1st platform. His carriage only had five sections, and all of them were lavishly decorated private rooms. The train blocked the view of the people on the other platforms. Countless Prussian passengers were standing on tiptoe to see the first month. They did not know what kind of distinguished guest was about to leave.

The soldiers lined up densely on the platform, like a human wall that blocked everyone's line of sight. Some of the officers who were running back and forth even had the rank of major.

Normally, this level of senior military officers could command others to do as they pleased, but today, they were all busy as busy as third grandsons.

"My God! Could it be that His Majesty the King was going on a trip today? "Even if the Prime Minister were to travel, he would not be able to do it in such a grand manner!"

Just as everyone was discussing about this, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the train station. The previously closed gates of the train station suddenly opened as a squadron of cavalry soldiers rushed in from the street to the first platform.

The horse carriage stopped in front of a special train, from which, groups after groups of high-ranking Chinese military officers jumped out. In the distance, a sharp-eyed Prussian citizen shouted in surprise, "Look! It's Chinese! It's the Chinese army! "

Suddenly, thunderous applause sounded from the other platforms. Everyone paid their respects to the distinguished guests in the distance!

Xiao Letian also jumped down from the horse carriage. He was originally planning to travel secretly, but he was blocked by the sharp-eyed citizens. He could only wave at those who welcomed him through the tracks.

At this time, the conductor ran over to the leader and said respectfully, "Dear leader, the special train is ready to depart at any time. Please get on the train!"

Xiao Letian nodded as he prepared to board the train. Right at that moment, a fast horse suddenly rushed in from outside the train station, and a messenger rushed towards the Head of the Guards.

"Reporting to the Führer, there is an urgent telegram!"

Taking the electric newspaper from the messenger, Xiao Letian opened it to see that it was all codes! He handed it over to Wang Huaiyuan casually. He said, "Translate it immediately!" After saying that, he lifted his leg and climbed onto the carriage.

The train puffed out white smoke as they slowly left the platform. At this time, Xiao Letian, who was sitting in the carriage, was waiting for Wang Huaiyuan and his subordinates to urgently translate the password and telegram.

Ten minutes later, Director Wang brought back the latest news: "Leader, it's from Fang Guan, his mission in Brussels has failed. Blanqui rejected our suggestion! "

Xiao Letian received the electric newspaper and looked at it carefully. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he casually lit a cigarette for himself.

He took the match that was half done and lit up the electric newspaper. A thick cloud of smoke came out from the carriage.

"Inform Fang Guan to bring her back, do not blame yourself, failure in this mission is also within reason. "However, this is good as well. At the very least, I will be able to find out the details of these people …"

"At the end of the day, they are still a group of nationalist. Their class thoughts are not pure. If that's the case, we have a chance to use them …"

"I am certain that Blanqui and the others will do everything they can to pass this information to the French Emperor. In this way, the upper echelons of France will only look down on us more and more, and they will go further and further in their misjudgement, until they fail! "

Wang Huaiyuan asked again, "Should we stop this trip and return to Berlin to discuss our next plan with Prime Minister Bismark?"

"No need! This trip to the Ruhr was part of our plan, so don't change it. Alfred. "Mr. Kroeber, you are waiting for us in Essen. You can't keep this gentleman waiting!"

Xiao Letian's special train headed westward. Their destination was the most important industrial zone in Prussia, the Ruhr's core city, Essen.

Steam spewed from the train as it sped across the land of Europe. The farmland, farms, villages, cities, and all kinds of industrial areas flashed past his eyes.

If one did not look at these scenes personally, one would not be able to understand the power of industry. The closer they got to the Ruhr's industrial area, the more factories and workshops appeared in their line of sight, and the denser the smoke pipes became.

The railway line was filled with trains that made way for the special train. Those carriages were filled with coal, iron ore, copper ore and other non-ferrous metals.

These were the core strategic resources of the first Industrial Revolution. Millions of tons of materials were being delivered to Ruhr in a steady stream. Where these minerals would be refined into rifles and cannons in the flames, turning them into the military weapon of this era.

Along the way, Xiao Letian even saw four to five new recruits training camp, which were the reserve training camp s of the various local governments. The playground was filled with the cacophony of shouts, and you could see groups of recruits undergoing drastic training.

The whole of Prussia had become a huge factory and a huge barracks. Everyone was in a tense atmosphere, preparing for war.

When he arrived at the core of Ruhr's industrial area, Essen, the smell of coal smoke immediately made Xiao Letian sneeze three times.

Alfred, who had been waiting on the platform, The Mr. Krupp smiled as she walked over and stretched out her hand. "Respected leader, you don't seem to get used to the climate here. This place is the heart of Prussian industry, and his sky is even darker than London!"

Xiao Letian was amused at the time. He realized that when Mr. Krupp said this, he was full of pride, as if it was an honor to have environmental pollution act like this.

Sure enough, Krupp proudly said, "In our eyes, this color represents power. This sour smell of burning coal is even more mellow than the highest grade cigars! "

Xiao Letian, who was wearing a White Gloves on his hand, gently rubbed his nose. The result was a sheet of black, he lamented in his heart.

Other people would have to find a beautiful place to travel through, returning to the unpolluted countryside. How could I be so unlucky? In my previous life, I lived in a fog, but after crossing, I still had to roll around in industrial pollution.

Life is bitter! You can't blame the government for your fate, and you can't blame society for it! This kind of unfortunate Transcender can be considered unprecedented!

Shaking his head, Xiao Letian tossed aside the random thoughts in his mind. Taking off his gloves, he reached out to Alfred. Mr. Krupp clenched his fists tightly.

"I have heard a lot about you. Mr. Krupp, your factory is currently the biggest military industrial group in Prussia. I hope I can get some good news from you this time."

"Be at ease, my dear Führer! I will definitely show you my latest weapon. After all, you are the biggest god of wealth in Asia, as long as you can relax a little and buy hundreds or thousands of my cannons, I will be rich, won't I? "

The two of them smiled at each other before walking out of the train station side by side.
