Professional guidance.
What is professional guidance? Naturally, it means carrying out targeted dismantling work with the help of engineers.
The Count was a veteran who had fought in World War I. The reason he chose to help the Chinese, to put it bluntly, was out of interest for Germany. In his view, it was better for the Chinese to take the machines than for them to fall into British hands and strengthen their power.
What if, twenty years from now, war breaks out again?
Those machines that fell into British and French hands would certainly become part of their war machines.
With the Count's recommendation, dozens of engineers soon joined this "dismantling team." On the engineers' advice, they directly removed a 5,300mm four-high extra-wide heavy plate rolling mill from the steel plant. Its cast frame alone weighed 230 tons and it could roll shipbuilding steel plates up to 350mm thick. In addition, they also dismantled a 14,000-ton open-die forging hydraulic press.
