@dadpad,
When the Germans went out to fight the Chinese before the First World War, a German cruiser was hulled again and again by the guns of a Chinese fort, and when the fort was taken, it was discovered that the Chinese had been using Krupp guns. Not only that, but reporters learned that Krupp charged the German Imperial government more for the guns than they did their foreign customers.
Alfred Krupp blandly replied to criticisms by saying that what was good for Krupp was good for Germany.
