1097 The Strange Circle of Interests

"Do you know how much money Krupp, or the Krupp Group, made when the empire fought in all directions?" Akado looked at Krupp, who was sweating coldly, with a hint of jokes , and asked: "Maybe you don't know how much money you have... Do you want my consultant to come and talk to you?"

Of course Krupp knew how much money he had, and he also knew how many times his wife's worth had doubled as the son-in-law of the Krupp family. (For the latest chapter, please go to: Literature Building www.wenxue) %乐%文%novelwww.しThis little old man has almost doubled his career in the past time, and he has helped the Ke who was on the verge of bankruptcy after the First World War. Rupp company has become a super group with dozens of subsidiaries.

His enterprise has developed from the production of several single products such as artillery to a military industrial giant that produces hundreds of products such as automobiles, tanks and artillery. The imperial army's weapons and equipment, from submarines to machine gun tripods, are all branded with the Krupp company's trademark. And he personally took advantage of the expansion of the empire to annex the Belgian artillery factory and gun factory at zero cost, and expanded his business to France and Spain.

Not only Krupp, but also Lynas, after Germany started this war, his assets also swelled by at least ten times. If Lynas was just a domestic plutocrat in Germany before the war broke out, then the expansion war of the Third Reich definitely made this German plutocracy grow into a super chaebol with a global nature.

And those capitalists who begged Krupp to come forward, each is a speculator who rose through the wind of empire expansion, and every penny of their money can be said to be stained with the blood of imperial soldiers and enemy soldiers. But blood-stained money is still money after all, and they still became the richest part of the world.

If the Third Reich is not a paradise for these businessmen to invest and develop, then after getting out of the Third Reich, the rest of the world is basically a hell for this group of businessmen. Everyone was uneasy and panicked. In fact, they were just worried that the head of state would get used to this method of killing chickens and taking eggs. They were worried that they would become the next "Linus" that the head of state would deal with after he got used to it.

In fact, many of these businessmen were true patriots back then. They don't want a penny, and only rely on Akado's face or a word from General Sickert to advance the cost for free to produce weapons for the National Defense Forces. They are just contributing their small power to the rise of Germany.

At that time, everyone did not have the wealth they have now, and what they contributed was only a few thousand rifles, hundreds of machine guns, and even provided a secret warehouse to help hide a few planes... But the empire gave these people unexpected rewards. Patriots, each was assigned factory labor and even land and official positions.

So everyone's patriotic enthusiasm is higher, and more energy is invested. Thousands of rifles have become hundreds of thousands of rifles, hundreds of machine guns have become hundreds of thousands of machine guns; factories have opened up their production capacity and started to produce tanks blatantly, and fighter jets have been pushed out of the warehouse one by one to become the weapon of war. Vanguard.

And so the armies of the empire were armed almost for free,

So the iron torrent of the empire cut down the enemies one by one. Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Norway, and the Balkans—there are more and more things that everyone can share, and the geometrically rising net worth makes everyone enthusiastic about this "patriotic cause".

But what makes Akado angry is that these businessmen have forgotten their original intentions. Before the soldiers on the front line had time to change into clean clothes and the mud on the tank had not had time to wash off, these businessmen brought their own accountants. And the assistant, clamoring to start distributing the benefits of the hands. The wounded soldiers lying in the workshop of the factory in the occupied area stared at these men in suits and leather shoes with dull eyes, bargaining and trading with the places they bought with their arms and intestines.

With the development of the war, the war dividends that the country can get are not even enough for these businessmen to divide up. Those plundered resources directly entered the pockets of this group of businessmen. When the country wanted to use them, it had to exchange them with more enemy resources in advance—this is why the country owed more and more debts, because The resources in the occupied area continue to be used, and the country has to pay for it!

The more wars are fought, the more debts are owed, so cheating, can the country stop fighting? Of course not! The capitalists are clamoring to repay their debts, and the country must repay the debts promised in the first step, and the only way to repay these debts is the resources of the enemy countries promised in advance. Military generals are waiting for promotion and success, and civilians at the grassroots level are waiting for the dividends and bonuses promised by the capitalists... Almost everyone is counting on the victory of the next war. Who dares to say no to it?

But if the fight continues, the country 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 not only has dividends, but also costs! Do disabled soldiers need comfort? Does the consumption of fuel weapons need to be replenished? Does the follow-up issue of occupied areas need to be resolved? ...a downright vicious circle, and the source of all this is the never-ending greed of capital.

"Führer, in fact... everyone just needs a guarantee." Krupp wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Akado in a weak tone: "I also know that we are doing something that is not... not very It's a suitable thing, but it's not illegal after all, and we...we also have our own difficulties."

The steps are too big, and it's a mess. Using this sentence to describe these German capitalists is too vivid. In fact, in the capital operation of the entire Third Reich, these capitalists did not see too much return on funds, and they were also in a last resort.

The empire only gave them a bunch of industries in the occupied areas. If they couldn't sell the products produced by these capacities, then these capitalists 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.

The state borrows to allow capitalists to produce for free, and then uses fixed assets and cheap labor to repay the loan. Then the capitalists can only rely on production capacity to recover the cost. Take away these materials so that these capitalists will not go bankrupt... a cycle without end, can it be said that the capitalists are really greedy and disregarding the country?

"If these people can't get the Soviet Union's factories and land, they will go bankrupt. They have all contributed to this country, and the country still owes these people money..." Krupp insisted Scratching his scalp, he begged one sentence at a time: "Are you really cruel to let the heroes of these countries go to the abyss of eternal doom?"

"Krupp! The matter is not as serious as you think." Akado originally wanted to explain these things first, but now he changed his mind and spoke to the old man who once supported him to become the head of state. Said: "In fact, as long as these financial groups and businessmen give up part of their interests, the empire is capable of repaying the debts of these people and ensuring that they will not go bankrupt."

Benefits, give up part of the benefits. This sentence is easy to say, but in practice it is extremely difficult. Other people's money is not obtained by strong winds, nor is it cheated or robbed, but earned through legal means. And when earning these benefits, they even helped the country solve some troubles. Why should they give up these benefits?

"If you are still the Krupp who dared to give up part of his vested interests for the sake of the empire, and the man who was willing to dedicate his life to the revitalization of the empire with me, Akado... then, tell the people behind you , as long as they are willing to take a step back, I still have the empire, and I will not treat them as the next Linus!" Akado stared into Krupp's eyes, and finally expressed his thoughts word by word.

Krupp didn't look away, but looked at the very young head of state when he knew each other back then, finally stood up, and stuffed the handkerchief he was wiping sweat into the chest pocket of his suit. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a sincere tone: "Akado, I am personally willing to donate half of my property to help the empire overcome this difficulty..."

"My friend, then I also assure you that your mountain villa will always be one of the safest places in the world." Akado stood up, walked to Krupp's side, and patted him shoulder: "I chilled the hearts of all patriots. After the war is over, I will give you an explanation. But now, the empire must win the war, understand?"

"It's because we forgot our original thoughts. We just wanted to do something for our country at the beginning, but in the end, we couldn't help but put the country behind our interests." Krupp said a little lonely: "Compared to you, the head of state, we really haven't done enough."

"Krupp, take my words to those people, and those who are willing to let go are our comrades! Those who are ready to be like Linus, those who are still ready to destroy the empire and take profits, are our enemies! "Akado accompanied Krupp to the door of the office, and finally said to him.

"My Führer! I will bring your words to you!" Krupp gave a German salute and replied firmly.
