The Brom-Foss Shipyard Club is a sprawling auditorium with a capacity of more than 1,000 people, and by the time Walker arrived, nearly 100 people in uniform had gathered. The hall is brightly lit, and everyone's face is clearly visible. Walker was surprised to find that most of the people in front of him had rough, dark faces, and faintly stained overalls, which meant that they were not engineers or technicians sitting in an office, but had worked the frontline production site for at least several years, just like himself.

"What's wrong this time, the factory representatives are not those engineers and station leaders?" Walker was surprised to see the grassroots mechanics coming in one after another at the gate, and at the same time, a trace of expectation and joy quietly emerged in his heart. Since the banning of trade unions in 1934, the lower class workers in Germany have lost the channel to speak out to the upper classes, and although Hitler silenced all opponents with a miraculous economic revival, in the hearts of Walker and others, they still hope that they will be able to be unrepresented, and have a little basic autonomy. This time, the factory representatives finally came from the grassroots, and although there was no right claim this time, it made Walker feel hopeful.

At 7 p.m., the doors of the club were slowly closed. A man in a formal suit walks up to the center of the stage, and Walker recognizes him as Tony, the Labour Front's supreme commander in the shipyard. Facing hundreds of stares from the audience, Tony coughed lightly with the microphone in his hand, and a moment later, his voice came out of the loudspeaker.

"Comrades, it is a great honour for you to be elected as the workers' representative of the 11th National Party Congress and to be reviewed by the Great Führer on September 3! According to the arrangement, when our phalanx passed through the review stand, we not only needed to hold high the flags and slogans, but also sang the praises of the great deeds of the Führer with a chorus of 10,000 people. Tony said with a straight face, his eyes as if he was looking at everyone in the audience, "Considering the general lack of musical skills among comrades, we will conduct 10 consecutive days of assault training from today. If the choral rehearsal is unsuccessful, all will be disqualified from traveling to Nuremberg. I don't think anyone would want to be this sinner who drags everyone down. ”

Hearing these words, Walkerden's heart tightened. The faces of the others also became solemn and serious, and even a little nervous and apprehensive. The happiness of seeing the head of state once is so great that no one wants to lose this precious opportunity. On stage, Tony looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction and said, "Don't be too nervous. Because the song we are about to learn can resonate perfectly with our inner feelings. Trust me, after hearing it once, all of you will really love it. ”

Tony gestured backwards, and a moment later the music burst out, and then a familiar and clear sound of singing echoed through the hall, and we strode with high spirits, raising flags to the sun; Hitler led the German nation and swept away all difficulties and difficulties. Cutting thorns, bathing in glory, and the brilliant cause shocked the Quartet; Onward, welcome victory, the power of the empire is mighty in the world! ……

The lyrics are strong and powerful, but they are not amazing if they meet the excellent standards, but the melody is loud and beautiful, and in the uplifting and joyful main tone, there is a strong upward and bursting out. Halfway through Walker's hearing, he completely ignored the lyrics, and his whole mind was completely immersed in a sea of excitement and joy, indescribably drenched and hearty. In a trance, Walker's consciousness seemed to return to the winter of 1934, although he was so poor that he only ate half a piece of black bread for two days, but the joy of getting a full-time job completely dispelled the cold in his body and heart. He vowed to fight hard and determined to build a better future for himself and his children.

After the last notes were played, there was silence in the hall, and it took for people to recover from their excitement. Walker's heart was like a warm fire, and he couldn't wait to erupt, but he found that he had completely forgotten what the lyrics had just written, and his whole face was reddened.

Feeling the mood of the crowd about to boil, Tony on the stage smiled with satisfaction, "This beautiful battle song is the new work of Admiral Jonas Blom, a naval hero, and it is an immortal poem that expresses the inner emotions of every German." We should take the general as a glorious example, with the deepest nationalist feelings, practice this piece repeatedly, and enthusiastically sing the praises of the great Führer Hitler! ”

As Tony finished speaking, the melodious music resounded through the hall again. The workers present finally found an outlet for their emotions and began to immerse themselves in their minds, chanting according to the rhythm of the melody......

"Jonas, are you going too far?" In an office in the Berlin Reichstag, W≈Ert frowned and looked at the young man in front of him, "In addition to this song "Stride High", you even peddled to Goebbels "The Soul of a Hero", "Defend the Führer to the Death", "Without You There Would Be No Germany", "We Can't Live Without Him" 4 songs! I can't make a judgment in music, but politically, I think you're taking too far. ”

V≈ Ert took a breath, his eyes filled with irrepressible apprehension: "Although you have explained the reason to Goebbels, but then you have made a condition that he will promote you as an example of the Führer, which is enough to show that your motives are not pure, and it is clear that you want to take advantage of this trend and want to make political gains." Compared to your previous military style, this contrast is too great, are you ready for how to deal with the Führer and the top brass of the Navy in the future? ”

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I've already thought about it." If I continue to survive only on the appreciation of Marshal Raeder and the favor of the Führer, as I did in the past, then I will not be able to deal with myself in today's fierce game between the two, and I can only be reduced to a pawn and suffer. Therefore, instead of passively resigning, it is better to take the initiative to stir into this political tide and take my destiny firmly in my own hands! ”

"At this time, it is beneficial to put on me the label of a faithful admirer of the Führer. Marshal Raeder did not dare to beat me coldly any longer, for I could at any moment overturn the table and be the Führer's quest for defeat in the Danish Strait. And with the Führer, I also proved my irreplaceable political value Although the god-making movement was started by Dr. Goebbels, if there were no odes to "Hitler's Thoughts", the overall effect would have dropped by at least two notches! With this feat, I will be able to occupy an island with a firm foothold in the whirlpool of struggle at the top. As long as the Führer is in office, there will be a place for me. Fang Yan said confidently.

Wa Erte looked at his nephew in surprise, although he knew very well that Fang Yan was by no means stupid and sweet, but this clear political mind and logic still impressed Wa Erte, who was accustomed to Fang Yan's officer character. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but after a moment, a light flashed in his head, and he quickly understood everything that Fang Yan had never said.

There is no doubt that Fang Yan's performance with Goebbels this time will inevitably not be able to hide from Hitler in the end. However, Hitler will never pursue Fang Yan's 180-degree political reversal. Because Hitler was first and foremost the Führer of Germany, and from the point of view of political power always came first. Since Fang Yan's actions can bring such huge benefits to Hitler, it is enough for the latter to readily agree, and he will not care about such meaningless things as "whether this is sincere or not" and "what does little Jonas think"!

Taking a step back, even if Hitler really felt the fickleness of people's hearts and realized that the once brilliant teenager had now become filthy and even dangerous, it would not affect his reuse and reciprocation of Fang Yan. Because politics is inherently about mutual use, Hitler, who has eliminated countless opponents to get to where he is today, has long been well aware of this. Thus, in 1934 the close friends Röhm and Strassel, who had the ideal of true National Socialism, became the guns of the SS, while Frank and Goebbels were in high positions of power, like nobles under the king.

In today's top echelons of the National Socialist Party, how many people love and respect Hitler from the bottom of their hearts and take his ideas as their life creed? Hess should be counted as one, but he was the worst cabinet member who was elevated, so much so that he had the dignity of a deputy Führer, and he was not as authoritarian as the Minister of Posts without Hitler's endorsement. As for W&Ert, he had just reached a tacit agreement with Hitler to grant power!

"Although I did not help the Führer remove the obstacle of Raeder, so that the navy is still a relatively independent kingdom to this day, I have helped him obtain the godhead of God incarnate, and the gain of consolidating his rule and increasing his authority is far greater than bringing the navy into the Führer's grasp." Fang Yan paused and said again, "To some extent, I have exceeded his expectations of me. Therefore, I have enough reasons to avoid his persecution in the future. ”

Wa & Ert exhaled with a complicated expression and sighed, "Since you have thought it through, I will not persuade you any more. I hope you can play this new role well. If I'm not mistaken, you should be planning to use the Führer as a springboard to get a higher rank and position in the future navy, right? Judging by your reaction, Marshal Raeder probably won't be in the service for long. When the current system of the Navy collapses, you will be able to rely on the Führer to go down the mountain to pick peaches, and you may even be promoted to the rank again. ”

Fang Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile after a moment: "It's still uncle, you know me." If we take the normal route, the vice admiral will be at least 10 years away from us, and there are unpredictable risks in commanding the fleet. I don't want to risk worrying Sivi and you anymore, Marshal Raeder can't give me, only the Führer will come to me. ”
