Chapter 100 Ford Motors

Due to the negligence of the boatman, a passenger fell into the water, which was a serious safety accident!

After the accident, the boatman at the time was taken away by the police for investigation. A few days later, a mysterious person offered a high security deposit, so the boatman was released again.

This incident has just passed, the cruise ship has adopted new security measures, the port has also adopted more management measures, and the rest is nothing.

This topic has been talked about for a while in the port and on the cruise ship, and it has disappeared. It seems to be just the most common accident.

Detroit, America's famous car city.

At the end of the 18th century, a large number of Gilded Age buildings were built here, known as the "Paris of America". Due to its strategic position on the Great Lakes waterway, Detroit has gradually become a transportation hub.

With the rise of shipping, shipbuilding, and manufacturing, Detroit has grown steadily since the 1830s!

With the joint efforts of Ford and other automotive pioneers William C. Durant, John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge Brothers, Walter Chrysler, etc., Detroit slowly became the capital of the world's auto industry !

Mention Detroit without mentioning Ford. In 1896, Henry Ford built his first car in a factory he rented on Mack Avenue. And in 1908, the Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line, and a generation of famous cars began!

Ford is not only the founder of Ford Motor Company, but also drives the development of the entire automobile industry, and even has a very strong influence on future generations. This is assembly line production!

In 1913, the Ford Motor Company developed the world's first assembly line, which made the Model T a total of 15 million units, setting a world record that has yet to be broken.

In the past, every technician could assemble a car, but the assembly line allows technicians to only produce what they are best at, which greatly improves efficiency! The number of working hours is greatly reduced! Reduce production costs and improve efficiency!

This new production method made the automobile a mass product, which not only revolutionized the industrial production method, but also had a huge impact on modern society and culture, so some social theorists called this period of economic and social history as "Fordism".

And now, in a villa in Detroit, a group of special guests has been welcomed.

When he put down his hat, Cyric stretched out his hand and said to the old man in front of him: "It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Ford, on behalf of President Adolf, I would like to express my gratitude to you, after the incident in the beer hall. , you extended a helping hand to us."

Of course Cyric didn't die, it was just the golden cicada who escaped that day!

Now, the CIA in the United States is not as evil as the later generations. The British intelligence agency is already famous, and Cyric has noticed that although the female star is not a real agent, there are British agents on the cruise ship. staring at yourself!

In order to get rid of these burdens, Cyric successfully escaped, especially when Cyric learned that the female star who hated because of his unsuccessful courtship actually bought a boatman with money and wanted to give himself "points" Great look", Cyric simply took the plan!

Having successfully escaped the sight of British agents, Cyric moved cautiously and secretly came to see the old Ford.

When he contacted Howard at the beginning, Cyric was not afraid of exposure. After all, this was a business transaction, nothing else, and it was different from Old Ford, because Old Ford had a relationship with him a long time ago!

Howard Hughes, a fan of Hitler, and Henry Ford, too!

When the Beer Hall incident broke out, the speeches moved Old Ford on the other side of the ocean. Therefore, Old Ford secretly took out a part of the funds and sent it to the Workers' Party in the form of donations.

A few years ago, in order to lead Germany out of the economic crisis, Hitler invested in the construction of highways across the country, and these actions required large sums of money.

Some of the funds still come from Ford!

Even under the influence of the old Ford, many Wall Street businessmen have provided them to Germany in the form of loans. Otherwise, where will the funds for Germany's construction come from?

Now, Cyric came to the United States, secretly visited the old Ford, first of all, on behalf of Hitler, to express his gratitude to the old Ford.

Hearing Cyric's words, Old Ford nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's all in the past, I just tried my best. Now, you're coming to me, aren't you just to thank me? What's up?"

Cyric sat down, looked at the old Ford, who was still in high spirits, and said, "That's right, we want to invite Ford to open an assembly plant in Germany to mass-produce trucks."

Old Ford, did he actually fund Hitler? This seems to be a mystery in the history of later generations, and there are different opinions, but there is one thing that cannot be denied.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the Ford Motor Company participated in German military construction.

In 1938, Ford opened an assembly plant in Berlin to supply trucks for the German Army. In July of that year, Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of Germany, the highest order awarded to foreigners by Nazi Germany. Ford was the first American to receive this medal!

The award was given for Ford's "pioneering work in making the automobile a mass commodity." Hitler even wrote a congratulatory letter himself.

To say that Hitler and old Ford had no relationship, how could this be possible?

Ford now has a lot of money, and there is no need to go all the way to Germany to build a factory!

Now, Cyric has traveled through the journey, and knows about the financial aid Old Ford gave to Hitler. At the same time, he also knows that the matter he proposed today can definitely be accomplished!

And this matter, for Germany, has even more significance!

Want to occupy the whole of Europe, want to win World War II, what do you rely on? Definitely not just a front-line tank force, a good tanker, and not an advanced aircraft.

The most important thing should be logistics!

When the front-line troops are advancing, the supplies behind cannot keep up. This is the saddest reminder! In history, when the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, they were often so hard-pressed.

Because, the German army does not have enough vehicles to transport supplies!
