Chapter 128 Arms King
"It's a long way to Africa, and I don't want to see your subordinates get sick on the way. The necessary precautions are necessary."
Due to limited conditions, there are not enough cleaning places at present, and Mikhailovich's subordinates are just wronged to enjoy the gift of nature on the coastline.
Alan Wilson divided the seaside into two areas, and barely managed to avoid mixed bathing, with men on one side and women and children on the other.
If Mikhailovich's subordinates refused out of shame, there was only one other way. There is only one place in Germany where such a large group can be sterilized, and that is the concentration camp gas chambers all over Germany.
After all, Alan Wilson reluctantly put down the binoculars, ending the fact that he was observing the Yugoslavian women's bodies.
Taking money to do things, he didn't want the royalists who gave him high hopes to die on the road, so he still had to make preparations.
Although it is a bit shameful to bathe at the beach in broad daylight, Mikhailovich knows that under such conditions, he can't expect more. As for Alan Wilson aiming at the female group with a telescope, he pretended not to see it. , also thanked, "Alan Liaison Officer is thoughtful."
"Of course, I'm not a money-grubbing person. After all, this is more than 200,000 lives!" Alan Wilson sighed straightly, "But I don't have the funds to help you too much. It costs money, and it costs a lot of money. Of course, I know that now, whether it is you, the Croats, or the Slovenians, they are all penniless. I don’t want your money, but use your money to deal with you thing."
"The money won't fall into my hands, but I can't expect everyone involved in this matter, like me, to uphold a goodwill and go back and forth for your affairs, can you? Miha Mr Ilovich."
Alan Wilson and Mikhailovich stood side by side by the sea, their mouths full of helplessness.
"Of course I understand this!" Mikhailovich believed very much that Alan Wilson was talking about it. Greed is a common problem for everyone. It is very normal for Alan Wilson to say that he wants to use money to clear the relationship.
"It's good if you understand this truth. Is the weapon you need really scrap metal? He said yes, and he said no, and we need to let him be, so we need to dredge the relationship." Alan Wilson He said with an expression that you took advantage of it, "If you can quickly find enough funds after arriving in Rhodesia, you will have more rewards in the future."
"What is it specifically?" Mikhailovich was stunned, and had to ask further questions.
"For example,
Germany's current military industry must be dismantled and destroyed. I personally think it is a pity. After all, destruction requires money, which is also an expense. If there is a buyer who can use the money to buy some light weapon production lines. It's the best of both worlds. "
The weapons given to these Yugoslav refugees are only for temporary use, and the purchased weapons need to be maintained. It is still unknown how long these weapons can be used in the environment of Africa.
How to turn waste into treasure is the most important thing for the budget-conscious British Empire.
Now that all countries believe that Germany should completely abolish the military industry, there is no need to keep the military production lines during the war.
Alan Wilson felt that if people like Mikhailovich could obtain funds as soon as possible after arriving in Africa, then it would not matter if they gave some of the military industry that Germany was about to dismantle to the other party.
Of course, he would not do this by himself. It is harmless to meddle in anything, and he will never touch anything. Alan Wilson also has an account in his heart. All the benefits brought by this exchange belong to the British Empire.
As people who were basically cleaned at the seaside went to Africa, this wave of population migration caused by the World War kicked off. Of course, this is nothing compared to the Germanic migration that has already begun in Eastern Europe.
Germany's military industry, where are the most suitable weapons for people like Mikhailovich? Alan Wilson understood as soon as he thought about it, Essen in the Ruhr area is the headquarters of the Krupp family.
Mikhailovich was the last group of refugees to board the ship, and there was still time, and Alan Wilson happened to take him to the location of the Krupp family for them to observe.
A few months ago, the German arms magnate Alfred Krupp, a tall man in a pinstriped suit and a felt hat, boarded an American jeep under the escort of three armed soldiers. The jeep started bang and headed towards Dusseldorf. This man is Alfred, the heir to the famous German arms empire; Krupp, he has just been arrested and was put on trial in Dusseldorf that night.
Alfred Krupp lived alone during the war, had no friends but servants, and spent most evenings drinking whiskey and smoking Camels. In order to facilitate the appropriation of property in the occupied areas, the Krupp company intervened in coal mining, horse racing, foundry and blast furnace industries.
As a world-renowned arms king, he was first arrested after Germany's defeat. As for the huge Krupp military industry, British soldiers are currently dismantling it, and Krupp himself was handed over to the British army by the US military.
Dusseldorf is adjacent to the Ruhr Industrial Zone in the north and Cologne in the southeast. The inner city and most of the urban area are located on the east bank of the Rhine River. The west part of the river is only 13 kilometers away. Industrial City, the main artery of German industry, and the central city of the Ruhr coal mining area.
Three months after returning to Europe, Alan Wilson could finally start to think about what he was going to do. In the devastated British-occupied area, he saw the legacy of those well-known German companies.
Alfred Krupp, who has been raised as a family heir all his life, is now in jail. He was brought out by the guards after being imprisoned on this day, and he probably had another trial in his heart.
But beyond his expectation, there were a young man whom he had never seen before, and a somewhat scruffy middle-aged man. The young man is Alan Wilson, the middle-aged man who has entered the old age, and the leader of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, Mikhailovich.
Alan Wilson's arrival here is not entirely a bad idea. As the Soviet Union becomes stronger and stronger, the German arms king will be released sooner or later, but the exact year is not certain. This is inevitable and cannot be changed. .
Although the arms king in front of him was imprisoned for a short period of time, he couldn't change it. After that, he became a business card of Germany in the 1960s. Alan Wilson sat down and asked, "Can you speak English?"
"Of course!" Alfred Krupp replied indifferently, "You have already confiscated all my property, so what else do you want to ask?"
These are all temporary, and Alan Wilson knows that these property will be returned to the arms king in front of him sooner or later, "Dear arms king, I am not talking about the family property. How can the Krupp family’s non-military industry be activated? We must know that the current unemployment rate in Germany is not optimistic, whether it is an indicator or a real situation.”
"I don't think you want Germany to go back to the predicament it was after the First World War. When you were young, but you experienced it yourself, the Ruhr area was full of French and Belgian policemen, and you couldn't do anything about it. It was also the beginning of Germany's return to war, and people cannot always be in a difficult situation. But Hitler's method has proved to be a dead end."
"How to spin off the military industry and become a German company that serves ordinary people is what the British Empire wants to help Germany do. Although you are going to be imprisoned temporarily, I believe your assistant can help us recover to a certain extent sexual production."
"Not only you, I also hope that other companies in the Ruhr area can help Germans in trouble at this time."
Alan Wilson knows that the Krupp family has an important position in the Ruhr area, and most of the Ruhr area is under the management of the British-occupied area. If this most important industrial area in Germany can cooperate with British policies , the recovery of the British-occupied area will be more assured.
This is also what the British Empire has always done, cooperating with the local bosses in the occupied areas to quell dissatisfaction in the occupied areas. However, it is generally used on colonies, but rarely used on European countries.
"Can you let me be free again?" Alfred Krupp raised his mouth and asked back, he had no hope at all.
"No! I don't need to say that you know your status in the German military industry." Alan Wilson shrugged helplessly, "The person staring at you is not just a country, nor a person. .You can only stand trial while the war is not over."
Alan Wilson didn't say what happened after the war, it was a thought for the arms king.
"It seems that I have to write a letter, and I also want to improve my living environment." Alfred Krupp was silent for a moment, and finally agreed.
In any case, he still has feelings for the Ruhr area where he grew up. I also don't want to see the citizens of my own country, surrounded by death all the time.
Most importantly, he has little choice. If you don't agree, all the properties of the Krupp family will be confiscated. If you are willing to cooperate, you may be able to keep some.
"Thank you for your cooperation in restoring order in the British-occupied area." Alan Wilson nodded very politely. He also knew that this was the first step, and his journey to the Ruhr area had just begun.
