America 1919

Gustav Krupp ultimately agreed to Donnie’s request for collaboration.

Gustav Krupp believed that such a partnership would have little impact on Krupp’s military industry.

First, they did not need to provide cash, only technical personnel, ensuring there was no financial loss.

Second, Donnie’s arms factory would be established in the United States, meaning there was no competitive relationship between them. Gustav Krupp did not believe the newly built factory could infringe on their market interests in Germany.

Lastly, this collaboration could facilitate the Krupp Group’s entry into the U.S. market.

Consequently, they quickly signed a preliminary cooperation agreement. Once Donnie returned to the United States, identified the site for the arms factory, and began construction, Gustav Krupp would personally lead a team of Krupp military industry experts to the United States.

Donnie was thrilled when he heard this.

Without spending a cent, he gained experienced technical personnel. Furthermore, this would serve as a bridge to connect with German research talents. When the war eventually erupted, Donnie could unreservedly exploit Germany’s scientific minds.

Germany’s rapid rise to global power after the end of World War I was not only driven by their determined leader but also by their robust research and development capabilities.

It was only after the United States acquired many of Germany’s experts that it ascended to a higher level of power.
