Fang Lang thought that the German machine tool industry would definitely be subject to certain restrictions, but he still wanted to come to Germany to see what level the current machine tool industry had reached.
The most important thing is that the machine tool processing industry actually needs professional and technical workers, such as level 8 fitters in China.
His goal is actually these outstanding technical workers. As for machine tools and the like, he doesn't particularly care. After all, current machine tools are far from as advanced as those of later generations.
There are no high-end equipment such as unattainable five-axis CNC machine tools.
Since the machine tool industry has been restricted, the worst case scenario is not to consider a joint venture!
Directly recruit some excellent technical workers and outstanding mechanical designers with rich experience to return to Brazil and establish their own machine tool production enterprises.
As for the machine tools and equipment, I’ll go to Switzerland to have a look. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go to Italy. If it doesn’t work, I can also go to the United States!
Of course, Fang Lang's order was chosen based on the strength ranking of the machine tool industry in later generations. The actual situation now is that the technical strength of these countries should not be particularly different.
"Oh! It doesn't matter. I am relatively new to the machine tool industry, so I want to visit and learn from the industrial powerhouses in Europe.
I don’t know. Is there any problem if I visit your machine tool factory? "
"You may need to explain this to Colonel Chatham, and then be accompanied by their personnel before entering the factory. However, if you need to recruit relevant technical workers from the machine tool factory, I will be very happy to help."
This situation is obviously different from what Fang Lang originally thought. He didn't expect that to visit the machine tool factory, he had to apply to the occupying army. This is really a very strict management. I don't know if all occupying armies have the same standard.
Fortunately, I didn't ask to visit the Mauser factory. I guess the control there is stricter.
Fang Lang could understand Mayor Jonas's willingness to help Fang Lang recruit skilled workers. After all, as he had just said, many machine tools had been dismantled and shipped away, so many machine tool workers would definitely be unemployed.
At this time, Fang Lang was able to come forward to recruit some workers, which undoubtedly gave them a way to survive.
"Then thank you Mayor Jonas, but I still want to explain to you that I only want the best technical workers and the best mechanical engineering designers.
If they are willing to come with me, I can promise to take their families to live in Brazil.
As for the number of people, let’s recruit according to the standard of fifty people for each type of work!
We also recruit about fifty experienced and excellent mechanical designers.
How long does it take for recruitment to be completed? "
Although this will lead to the loss of a large number of industrial talents, Mayor Jonas is very distressed. However, he also understood that if they were not sent out, perhaps these people and their families would risk starving to death in Germany.
"No problem, just give me a week and I will definitely recruit the best people for you."
"You just said that all the machine tools in the factory have been disassembled and assembled, right? I don't know if any of them have been dismantled and transported yet!"
Fang Lang thought of his acquisition of an artillery factory in Japan and wondered if he could repeat it in Germany.
"I don't know the specific situation very well. You may need to go to the factory to check and ask the factory personnel to find out."
Obviously, Mayor Jonas is restricted from directly intervening in these places. Since this is the case, there is no use in continuing to find Jonas.
It's better to just let him go back and recruit skilled workers for himself.
"Okay, I'll leave the recruitment of workers to you. Once you've recruited the workers, you'll contact Adjutant Qi and we'll arrange flights to send the workers back to Brazil in batches."
Soon, the two of them agreed to recruit technical workers from the machine tool factory for Fang Lang while having breakfast.
After seeing off Mayor Jonas, Fang Lang returned to his room, and Qi Qingshan came over to report:
"Boss, that Paul yesterday
I bought a ticket back to Stuttgart today. We expect to return to Stuttgart this evening. "
"Oh! Did you find out what he did in Switzerland?"
Now that he is ready to return to Germany, things in Switzerland are obviously over.
"Our people are not sure what he did specifically, but he did not move around in Switzerland. In addition to staying in hotels, he also visited a bank and a telegraph office twice."
After hearing Qi Qingshan's report, Fang Lang shook his head. In a foreign country, he could only simply stare at where the other party went, and there was no way to investigate what he had done specifically.
This cannot be blamed on the people under his command. After all, they are not agents of the intelligence department and cannot find out everything the other party has done.
Fang Lang had long expected that the other party would go to the bank. As for going to the telegraph office, he must have contacted the outside world, but there was no way to know who he contacted.
Besides, there is no way of knowing whether other people staying in the hotel have contacted the outside world by phone.
However, Fang Lang can also confirm one thing, that is, in addition to the current rebels in Stuttgart, this Paul must have other accomplices.
What Fang Lang didn't understand very much was, shouldn't the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better?
What is his purpose in contacting everyone like this?
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it.
"I understand, let our people pay attention to safety, especially to see if there is a tail behind you! Don't wait for someone to sneak attack you from behind."
Fang Lang was worried that Paul would start to clean off his tail and let himself escape.
Don't miss Paul's tail by then. If you lose two soldiers, Fang Lang will suffer a big loss.
"Boss, you mean he has accomplices?"
After Qi Qingshan asked, he realized that he had asked an idiot question and said quickly:
"I understand, boss. Also, we have already taken care of what you ordered to remind the rebels."
"Oh! You didn't let them think of us!"
He didn't care how his subordinates reminded the other party, as long as the purpose was achieved.
Just like Mr. Deng said, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice.
"Don't worry, we pretended to be Germans who sympathized with the rebels and wrote a note and asked a child to send it in.
Our people found that they dispersed and evacuated immediately after receiving the note, and no French people under surveillance were found nearby. "
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"The French people's sense of smell should not be that sensitive. We will continue to pay attention to them. If we find that anyone else is targeting them, we must report it in time."
"Okay, boss."
After discussing these matters with Qi Qingshan, Fang Lang directly picked up the phone in the hotel room and called Colonel Chatham.
"Mr. Colonel, I am Fang Lang. I hope I haven't disturbed you!"
"Haha. Don't bother, don't bother. Fang, are you looking for something good for me just after you came back?"
Colonel Chatham's cheerful laughter was heard on the phone, it was obvious that the personnel had been shipped out in recent days to give his wine estate a chance.
Even the depression about the attack started to get better.
"Haha. Colonel Chatham, you are really right. I wonder if it is convenient to say it on the phone?"
The other party had been attacked once, and Fang Lang really didn't dare to ask the other party to meet easily. He couldn't guarantee that there were no other rebels watching the other party.
If he was attacked again because of his meeting with him, Colonel Chatham would not be able to doubt him even if he didn't.
"Don't worry, no one will monitor our lines. If it's something particularly important, you can come to my office to talk."
Fang Lang thought about it and finally felt that it was better to talk about some things in person. Some things were really not convenient to say on the phone.
"This time when I returned to Brazil, I brought you a box of Cuban cigars. I'd better bring them over to meet you.
Let’s chat! Don’t know when it’s convenient for you? "
"Fang, you are my friend. It is convenient for me to see you at any time."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
This time Fang Lang wanted to see if there was any chance of repeating the operations at the Japanese artillery factory, so it would be better to communicate in person.
"Qingshan, pack up and arrange a car to go with me to the occupation headquarters."
After giving instructions to Qi Qingshan, who had been standing by his side, Fang Lang picked up a box of cigars that he usually smoked and went straight out to the headquarters of the French occupation forces in Stuttgart.
The current headquarters of the French occupation forces obviously has more guards than the original ones, and inspections are much stricter.
Obviously, the last attack on the commander at home still left a deep impression on these proud French people.
As soon as he entered the building, Colonel Chatham's adjutant was already waiting in the lobby.
Under the guidance of Mr. Adjutant, Fang Lang and Qi Qingshan walked into Colonel Chatham's office.
As soon as he opened the office door, Colonel Chatham came directly over and gave Fang Lang a big hug.
"Fang, nice to see you again! Come and sit here."
This level of enthusiasm made Fang Lang very uncomfortable for a while.
I don’t know if this old boy knows that he is going to make him rich again this time, so he is so enthusiastic.
"Haha. I'm also very happy to meet you, Colonel Chatham. I have already met the first batch of talents sent there by special plane in Brazil. Thank you very much for your help."
He said and handed over the cigar box.
Chatham glanced at the logo on the cigar box and said:
"Hey! Is this the brand Roosevelt liked?"
Fang Lang really didn't care about this issue. He could only shrug helplessly and didn't answer.
Colonel Chatham opened the cigar box directly, took a look and said:
"Yes, it is indeed it! Thank you for the gift, I like it very much. Tell me, do you have any good news for me this time?"
Fang Lang smiled and did not say anything about recruiting machine tool industry technicians. After all, there was no need to be too specific about these things. He only had to pay per head.
Just don’t tell the other party too clearly what kind of talent you have.
"Mr. Colonel, the main reason I came here today is to ask you something. I heard that many of the equipment in the Stuttgart Machine Tool Factory have been disassembled, packaged and shipped back to France, right?"
Colonel Chatham had no intention of hiding this kind of thing from Fang Lang, and said directly:
"Yes, according to the contents of the Potsdam Declaration, we want to restrict the industrial development of Germany. The government requires us to dismantle heavy industries in the country, and a lot of equipment has been shipped away.
Let me see, there should be a convoy here today to transport a batch of equipment, what? Are you interested in these devices? "
