They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape.

Axelsen & Nielsen Bremsen-Gesellschaft

Days turned to weeks as Poul and Jonathan were in constant meetings with the director of the Imperial Railway Office of the German Empire. The industrialist duo took this opportunity to explore the cities of the Empire, looking for a spot where they could erect their first-ever overseas branch.

Then they saw one in Hanover, the capital of the state of Lower Saxony. They were gazing up at the brick building before them. 

Poul turned to Jonathan and said, "What do you think, Jonathan? Do you think this building could serve as the branch for our air brake company in the German Empire?"

Jonathan hummed in thought before responding, "With a few refurbishments and renovations, this building would be perfect to become the headquarters of our air brake company in the German Empire. It's in the perfect location, near the railway station, making it easy for us to transport our products across the country."
