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

This move completely angered Frederick III. After many negotiations failed, the Berlin government announced national martial law on November 10.

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

Immediately afterwards, Frederick III ordered the restoration of factory production. Many retired officers transformed into factories and became managers of factories.

It has no technical content and I don’t know how to manage it, so I copied it according to the method of managing the army.

As long as someone pays his salary, ordinary workers don’t care who the boss is. It doesn’t matter if the management is strict, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say, and factories will resume work one after another.

From production to sales, the government handles it all. It looks quite like a planned economy, and capitalists are really panicked.

Reality tells them that they don’t seem to be that important, and the country is still operating normally without them.

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

It's too late to regret now, and I've been torn apart, so Frederick III will naturally not be polite.

There is no need to frame and frame them, just one by one, and a large number of people will be sent to jail soon.

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

He had no objection to the capitalist's operation, anyway, no one was a member of the same place.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Before that, everyone was not prepared to let the army take over the country.

It was only later that I found that the police could not deal with capitalists, so I was forced to use retired officers and soldiers to organize a public security brigade.

After solving the capitalists, everyone found that the domestic order had collapsed. In order to restore social order, the government had to rely on the military's power again.

Originally, the Prussian Kingdom had a country in the army, which was because the army had a great influence and controlled the country in the upper political terms.

Now the situation has changed, the military's influence on the upper level has been weakened, but its influence on the lower level has been greatly increased.

Frederick III nodded helplessly: "My Prime Minister, everyone knows that the situation in Prussia is not right now, but how should the problem be solved?

The people have been arrested, the family has been circulated, and the factory has been confiscated.

Now that factory production is to be restored, we will not find enough managers in a short period of time.

Are we going to have any other choice besides letting retired officers manage it?

You can’t let those borers go out again and continue to cause trouble for us, right?”

It has to be admitted that militarized management factories can only be used as emergency measures. Not long after this, a series of chaos broke out.

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

We will definitely not be able to manage so many factories. We will sell most of the small factories, retain only a few large factories, convert them into state-owned enterprises, and learn from Austria's management model."

The Prussian industry is still in a state of controversy. More than 80% of the factories in the country have less than 100 people in size, and only single digits are available in large factories with more than 100 people.

The Kingdom of Prussia is a capitalist and military-minister country. Not all capitalists jumped out to fight against the government. This time, the table was overturned, so it was naturally impossible to capture all the capitalists in one go.

Theoretically, as long as the confiscated small and medium-sized factories are sold out, the management problems will be solved.

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

Obviously, he was moved. Don’t look at the Prussian Kingdom that had resumed production, but this production capacity is really touching, the production efficiency has generally dropped by 15%, and the defective rate remains high.

Such companies are destined to be ruined unless they are closed and play by themselves. Once they join the international competition, they are destined to be ruined.

The peace in the market is supported by the government's credibility. The Berlin government took timely action to ensure the supply of materials and employment, and everyone believes in the government's execution.

Army Secretary von Rosswald proposed: "Your Majesty, if so many factories are sold together, even if someone buys them, they may not be able to sell them at the price.

Instead of doing so, it is better to directly distribute the factory to retired officers and soldiers to deduct their severance expenses or pensions.

Not only can the government reduce the expenses, but the employment and resettlement problem can also be solved by the way."

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

Even if the remaining capitalists have money in their pockets, they are scared at this time and dare not appear easily.

Affected by Mark's depreciation, the original severance and pension standards were obviously out of place.

The Berlin government dares to redeem capitalists' money, but they dare not discount the soldiers' money for their lives.

Although the Berlin government has repeatedly raised the standards, it cannot withstand the severe inflation, and the government cannot stand it even if it continues to increase it.

Frederick III asked with some doubts: "Can the soldiers accept it? You should know that the benefits of these small factories are very average. If the business capacity is insufficient, it is easy to lose money."

"Loss" is not a loss in the hands of capitalists, but in recent times, based on the management of the Berlin government.

Army Secretary von Rosswald said uncertainly: "It should be acceptable. We can set the factory cheaper and let them decide whether to want the factory.

As for management issues, I think there is no big problem with the production process. They are all their own factories and will definitely not mess around.

The trouble is sales, but the government can help solve it. We have an agreement with the British to pay the debt in kind, so we can use the products from these factories to deduct it."

Frederick III fell into deep thought. He cared about the price issue, but it was all in vain anyway.

If these small factories can be used to appease the military's emotions and make the military agree to the government's reorganization plan, William I would not mind giving it for free.

"Then try it, remember to do a good job of coordination. There are dozens of shareholders in a factory, and if it is not arranged properly, problems will easily arise."

Von Rosswald's originally happy expression disappeared, and he could already imagine how much work he would have in the future.

No matter how much the factory price is pressed down, it is not possible for one soldier to take it down. Unless a dozen people died in the family, it would be inevitable for multiple shareholders.

When it comes to interests, can everyone be so harmonious? These problems need to be solved by him.
