Ingame description
A peculiar Military-Industrial complex is emerging in the now heavily industrialized Ruhr-area, where several leading industrialists, notably from the Krupp family, are working together with Prussian Army & Government officials to develop, in coherence with Prussian state ideology, our military and industrial capabilities.
