The Krupp Factory in Essen, Ruhr Area. This former steel workshop of Krupp Company grew into the most important factory enterprise in Germany after the invention of "steel filling" in the mid-19th century. After more than half a century of development, Krupp

Rupp has long been the largest heavy industry company in Germany, mainly in the steel industry. Relatively speaking, the entire Krupp company in Germany often means the German military industry. More than 70% of German artillery is produced by Krupp. Not only

In this way, even in the shipbuilding industry, Krupp still occupies a considerable share.1(1)

For many years, as the most important supplier of the German Army, Krupp has supported the combat effectiveness of the German Army. Since 1914, Krupp has expanded rapidly due to the war, and new factories have been put into production.

, thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers are continuously transported from the Krupp factory in Essen to the army and navy.

In a sense, no one doubted that Krupp was supporting Germany's war effort. However, unlike in 1871, when no one doubted that Germany would win, now, when the war lasted for nearly two years, no one doubted that Germany would win.

Years later, for every German, the hope of victory seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer. Not seeing the hope of victory can make people despair, but at the same time of despair, for the engineers and technicians of Krupp Company,

In other words, they must see hope in despair. To be precise, they must use their technology and German industry to help Germany win, at least gain some hope of victory, and technological breakthroughs can often make Germany win.

People have this hope.

Villa Hugel is the villa of the Krupp family. Ever since Alfred Krupp, the founder of the Krupp company, built this villa, it has been the center of the Krupp family.

Alfred Krupp achieved Krupp's glory here. The second generation president Friedrich Alfred Krupp committed suicide here due to the homosexual scandal. His daughter Beta?

Krupp also married Gustav von Bohlen and Onder Halbach here. With the emperor's approval, Gustav took the surname Krupp as Gustav Krupp.

, it was also announced here that he would become the third generation president of Krupp.

For Gustav Krupp, since he became the third generation president of Krupp, the most important thing is to make everyone believe in him and believe that he can be like Alfred Krupp.

Like Krupp, he created a great company. Of course, this was due to the outbreak of the European War. In the past two years, Krupp's military production capacity has expanded several times, making it the largest company in Germany.

The enterprise with the fastest expansion of strength in the industry.

Before the war, Gustav Krupp's factory could only manufacture ten artillery pieces at most every day. But now, Krupp's factory can manufacture more than thirty artillery pieces every day. In the past, it could only manufacture ten artillery pieces every day.

Ten thousand rounds of artillery shells were produced, but now hundreds of thousands of artillery shells can be produced every day, and the artillery produced during the war has a larger caliber and more powerful shells.

As the president of the Krupp Company, Gustav Krupp may have been very diligent. He has always tried his best to play the role of the German Empire's machinist.

However, in the past year, Gustav Krupp's life has not been easy, and the reason is very simple. The protracted development of the war, while affecting the lives of the German people, also affected his life.

Facing the stalemate on the front, the chiefs of staff have been hoping for a weapon that can break the stalemate in the war.

This weapon to break the deadlock in the war will eventually be developed by these military-industrial companies. In the end, almost all the pressure fell on Krupp, a world-famous military-industrial company, and on Gustav

?On Krupp’s body.

What kind of weapons can break the stalemate in war?

Poison gas. Already thrown into the war.

Tanks also entered the battlefield.
