Holy Roman Empire

In order to force the government to give in, on November 7, 1881, the Prussian bourgeoisie organized a massive strike and strike movement.

This move completely angered Frederick III, and after repeated negotiations to no avail, the Berlin government declared national martial law on November 10.

The security brigade composed of retired officers and soldiers took over the work of the police, blocked the main roads of traffic, seized all the shops, warehouses and factories of the participating capitalists, and the government uniformly allocated materials across the country.

Shortly thereafter, Frederick III ordered the factory to resume production.Many retired officers transformed into factory managers.

There is no technical content, and I do not know how to manage it, so I copied it according to the method of managing the army.

As long as someone pays, ordinary workers don't care who the boss is.Strict management does not matter, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say, and factories are starting to resume one after another.

From production to sales, it is the government's sole responsibility.The capitalists really panicked, as if they looked a bit like a planned economy.

Reality tells them that they do n’t seem to be that important, and that the country is still functioning without them.

Although there is still a lot of chaos in the middle, this is only the initial stage and can be changed slowly later.

It is too late to regret now, and all his tears are torn, and Frederick III will naturally not be polite.

They do n’t need to be stolen and framed, they just turn over old accounts one by one, and soon a large wave of people go to jail.

Prime Minister Leo von Caprivi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you can't go on like this, otherwise there will be a mess."

Taking the capitalist's operation, he has no opinion, anyway, everyone is not the same.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes. Before then, everyone was not prepared to let the army take over the country.

It was only later discovered that the police could not deal with the capitalists, and was forced to use the retired officers and men to organize the security brigade.

After solving the capitalists, everyone found that the domestic order collapsed.In order to restore social order, the government had to use the military's strength once again.

Originally speaking, the Kingdom of Prussia was a country owned by the army. That was because the army had great influence and controlled the country at the upper levels of politics.

Now that the situation has changed, the military ’s influence at the upper level has been weakened, but its influence at the bottom has greatly increased.

Frederick III nodded helplessly: "My Prime Minister, everyone knows that the situation in Prussia is wrong now, but what is the problem?

People have been arrested, the home has been copied, and the factory has been confiscated.

Now that we want to resume factory production, we simply cannot find enough managers in a short time.

In addition to letting retired officers manage, do we have other options?

Can't we put those worms out again and continue to add to our chaos?"

I have to admit that militarized management factories can only be used as emergency measures.It didn't take long for this to begin, and a series of chaos broke out.

After hesitating for a while, Leo von Caprivi gritted his teeth and said: "Simply organize an auction!

We must not manage so many factories. We sold most of the small factories and kept only a few large factories. We turned into state-owned enterprises and learned the management model of Austria."

The Prussian industry is still in a state of contention. More than 80% of the factories in the country have fewer than 100 people, and large factories with more than 10,000 people have only single digits.

The Kingdom of Prussia is a country of capitalism and militaryism. Not all capitalists have jumped out to fight against the government. This time, if the table is overturned, it is naturally impossible to wipe out the capitalists.

In theory, as long as the confiscated small and medium factories are sold, the management problem will be solved.

William I said slowly: "This is a way."

Obviously, he was tempted.Do n’t look at the fact that the Kingdom of Prussia has resumed production, but this capacity is really touching, the production efficiency has generally dropped by 15%, and the defective rate is also high.

Such companies, unless they close the door to play by themselves, once they join the international competition, they are destined to be finished.

The calm in the market now is supported by the credibility of the government.The Berlin government took timely actions to ensure the supply of materials and employment, and everyone believed in the government ’s execution.

Army Secretary von Roseward suggested: "Your Majesty, so many factories are thrown together, even if someone buys them, I am afraid they will not be able to sell the price.

Rather than this, it is better to directly distribute the factory to retired officers and soldiers, to deduct their severance payments, or pensions.

Not only can the government reduce a certain amount of expenses, but the problem of employment placement can also be solved by the way."

It is true that the price cannot be sold. Most people with purchasing power in the Kingdom of Prussia are still in prison.

The remaining capitalists, even if they had money in their pockets, were scared so much at this time that they did not dare to take the lead easily.

Affected by the depreciation of Mark, the original severance payment and pension standards were obviously outdated.

The capitalist's money, the Berlin government dare to deny it, the soldiers' life-saving money, they dare not discount it.

Although the Berlin government has repeatedly raised the standard, it cannot withstand the severity of inflation, and the government cannot bear it even if it continues to increase.

Frederick III asked with some suspicion: "Can the soldiers accept it? You know that the benefits of these small factories are average. If the operating capacity is not enough, it is easy to lose money."

"Loss" is not a loss in the hands of capitalists, but in the recent period, according to the management of the Berlin government.

Army Secretary von Rose Walter was unsure: "It should be acceptable. We can set the factory price cheaper and let them decide whether they want factory shares or cash.

As for the management issues, I think that the production link is not a big problem, because it is all its own factory, and it will certainly not be chaotic.

The trouble is sales, but the government can help.We have an agreement with the British to pay debts in kind, so we can use the products of these factories as a deduction."

Frederick III was in deep contemplation, and he was concerned about price issues, anyway.

If these small factories can be used to appease the military's emotions and let the military agree to the government's reorganization plan, William I will not mind giving away.

"Then try it, remember to do a good job of coordination. There are dozens of shareholders in a factory. If it is not arranged, it is easy to go wrong."

Von Rothschild's original happy expression disappeared, and he could already imagine how much he would do next.

No matter how much the factory price is pushed down, it won't be possible for a soldier to take it down, unless there are more than a dozen dead in a family, otherwise multiple shareholders are inevitable.

When it comes to interests, can everyone still be so harmonious?He needs to solve these problems.
