Chapter 29: Hitler's Ambitions

Just after the spring of 1935, Leon lost the news for almost two months, Kong Xiangxu often nagged, "Dabao, I don't know where it is, I don't know if the food is good or not, the army is too strict, how can you not write a letter and make a phone call, Erbao, you said that your brother will not go to a dangerous place, why am I so unsteady, today I went out for a walk, and saw many young people carrying luggage, saying that they were going to join the army, and they were all so elated, is there going to be a war? Isn't the Convention of Versailles a dead letter, if there is a real war, how dangerous my great treasure will be, Erbao, what can I do about this, my poor great treasure! ”

Seeing that Kong Xiangxu was about to burst into tears, Yelena held his hand helplessly,

"Grandpa, what do you think, my brother is just an instructor, where will I go to the battlefield, you are just worrying, whether you want to learn to farm with the farmers, or learn to plant flowers with the gardeners, otherwise we will go to the castle in Bavaria, you go fishing by the lake, you are idle, grandpa, my brother has repeatedly explained when he leaves, I want you not to worry about him, if you are worried about your brother, you can't eat or sleep well, and if you have anything, your brother will be sad when he comes back, and you don't know how much your brother cares about you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When Kong Xiangxu heard this, his heart let go a lot, and he pondered for a moment, "Also, I think about it a lot, it's just that when I see so many young people, I miss Dabao a little!" ”

"Grandpa, my brother's status in the army is not low, you can put ten thousand hearts, happily waiting for your brother to come back to visit you, he said, if you stay in one place, you will come back to pick us up."

"Well, I know, I'll raise my body well, and I'll go to the station with him when the time comes." So saying, he stood up,

"I'll see if the little girl has finished writing big characters, and then take her to the grange to have a look, and I feel comfortable when I see the vigorous growth of those grains, and Lao Liu doesn't know when he will come back, whether things are going well."

"Grandpa, didn't Lao Liu just write a few days ago, why did you forget it so quickly." Kong Xiangxu patted his head, "Ouch, it's so old, this memory..."Elena watched him go upstairs, shook her head and went to the living room to continue her weaving business.

On March 16, 1935, Hitler announced that Germany would reintroduce the general compulsory military service system, re-establish the Wehrmacht, including the Air Force, and increase the standing army to 500,000 people. ”

On April 11, at the suggestion of Germany, the heads of state and foreign ministers of the three major signatories of the Treaty of Versailles, Great Britain, France, and Italy, held a meeting in Strezza in northern Italy to discuss Germany's flagrant non-compliance with the Treaty of Versailles. They will be helpless and let it go.

For the German people at that time, in fact, no matter how much they disliked Hitler and how dissatisfied they were with the Nazi system, in the nationalist passion, they had to admit that Hitler had accomplished something that the Weimar Republic government could not even think of, breaking the shackles of the Versailles Treaty and restoring the honor of the country. Racial discrimination is becoming more and more serious, through the "Nuremberg Act" to define "Jews", any German with more than one Jewish grandparent will be considered "Jewish", this bill also deprives Jews of basic rights as German nationals, it is worth mentioning that the Olympic Games in 1936 were held in Berlin, Germany, and Germany in 1935 was still preparing for the next year's event, but the prices of manufactured goods in the international market are falling, and the prices of raw materials, food, and semi-finished products are rising, The government had to prepare plans for the implementation of a food rationing system.

The shock and intrigue of the Berlin society in Germany did not affect here, the quiet life in the manor, the bouncing figure of Zilian, the nagging voice of her grandfather following behind, Peony, Yuzhu watched the two of them not far away, roses, blue tea were busy in the house, making all kinds of pastries with ancient means, Zilian, the little guy, didn't know how many years he hadn't eaten, he had a lot of food, and he had to eat non-stop every day, fortunately, it was all produced in the space, and it would not hinder her from cultivating, Kong Xiangxu also benefited a lot, The food with abundant aura makes his body impurities excreted well through the intestines, his gray hair has gradually turned black, his skin has become smooth, and his age spots have become faint marks, and the whole person looks twenty years younger.

On this day, Leon will come to the house, Kong Xiangxu is catching insects in the field, there is no shelter in the farm, at a glance saw a car driving to the castle, he hurriedly ran back, his mouth kept shouting,

"Dabao, is my Dabao back?"

Just gave his sister Yelena a bear hug, Leon, who hadn't had time to speak, was hugged tightly on the back, and when he heard the familiar cry, he turned around and hugged Kong Xiangxu, and gently patted his back with his hand,

"Grandpa, I'm back, don't worry, let me see if you've lost weight."

Dressed in a beautiful military uniform, setting off Leon's more handsome and elegant, aristocratic temperament at a glance, the three of them came to the living room, Lan Cha carried a tray, put a few snacks on the coffee table in the living room, Leon smiled and thanked, "Your craftsmanship has always made me miss in the barracks, I haven't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, thank you." Lan Cha smiled slightly, didn't answer, returned to the kitchen, and continued her great business, the eldest young master is back, he wants to make some food he likes for lunch, the eldest young master looks at the loss of a lot.

The family ate sumptuous dishes in harmony, Leon ate another belly round, drank hawthorn water, and sat in the living room, Leon looked at his sister with a look of surprise as he saw his sister knitting half of the brocade,

"Yelena, ingenious, like a mother, when my father went and never came back, life was difficult, my mother relied on making small crafts, crocheting lace to make money, at that time, I thought my mother was the most dexterous person in the world, I didn't expect that sister, you inherited this talent of hers." Kong Xiangxu also sighed and said, "Sophia's craftsmanship is still taught to her by your grandmother, this is a family handicraft, Dabao, they are very happy in heaven, we also want to be happy, grandpa does not ask you to make meritorious contributions, as long as you have a safe life, the donations I made, not to live a long life, just to pray that God will give you this blessing, so that you will not experience our suffering again." ”

"Grandpa, look at you, why are you so sad, isn't it better than anything else for us to reunite as a family now, and my brother hasn't done anything dangerous, you just worry about it, look at you if you haven't eaten and slept well these days, don't you think I haven't found out, you take a good look at my brother this time, isn't he very good, don't think so much in the future."

"Yes, grandfather, in peacetime now, even in the army service safety can still be guaranteed, I just train all day, almost eat, the rest is really the same as the original, you and your sister live a good life, if you don't want to live here, go to other places, I also hope that you can be healthy and healthy, and you can accompany me for a longer time." When my position is stable, I will find a wife and let you hold my great-grandson, okay! ”

"Really, I can hold my great-grandson, rest assured, my grandfather must eat and sleep well, wait for my great-grandson, Dabao, I don't want to leave you too far, you serve in Munich, I am here waiting for you to come back from vacation, grandpa can often see you is happy!"

Elena saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she wanted to change the subject, "Brother, have you settled down, and how long can you rest when you come back this time?"

"I'll leave in three days, I'm here to pick up the recruits this time, come back to see you by the way, it is estimated that you can be stationed in the second half of the year, when you come over, I don't always have to eat the tasteless food in the barracks, oh, by the way, Yelena, you tell the housekeeper, the grain produced should not be sold except for the one taken away by Lao Liu, I heard inside information, the grain may have to be controlled, as for the output here, it is estimated that the price will not be high, and the government will levy it at a low price due to the food shortage, just leave enough rations,"

Kong Xiangxu, Yelena nodded, and Leon continued,

"If someone from my grandfather comes here to ask for food, you don't pay attention to it, as early as the moment I find you, I don't want to have anything to do with them, let's live my own life, if you cheat, just drive them out, don't leave any mercy, you are my sister, not the sister of the family, you have no responsibility or obligation to provide them with food, when I was deprived of my heir status, my grandfather, uncle, and cousins all signed an agreement, and the property in my hands was earned by my father when he was young, I didn't take a piece of the family property, just inherited my father's share, so the family risk glory has nothing to do with me, although I don't go back often over the years, I also know that my uncles and cousins have lost their ancestral property, and now only the family castle remains, and the nearby fields have disappeared, I heard the people in the original unit say that they once looked for me, I think it may be the idea of hitting the French manor, hum, that's my father's property, I think it's too beautiful, too shameless, when I bought this manor, I met acquaintances, I guess he might tell my grandfather, don't pay attention to it when he comes, for you, he is a stranger, and I will find a station as soon as possible and pick you up,"

Elena looked at Leon, and told him frankly, "Oh, I said, how can my grandfather find here, it turned out that my brother's acquaintance said it, not long ago, someone who claimed to be my grandfather came here, saying why I didn't go to visit him, and questioned how my mother raised me, thinking of the cold violence my brother received when he was a child, where would I give him a good face, and send him off directly, I didn't plan to tell my brother, since my brother doesn't care, it's nothing to know," Leon looked at his sister with relief, it's good to have someone to take care of and maintain it.
