C2501 Ruhr Industrial Zone (2/2)

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.
