Chapter 396: Assumption
Fang Yan rubbed his swollen temples tiredly, and sat down on the sofa to think carefully.
From an emotional point of view, Fang Yan was actually happy to see Wolt deposed. Because he has become sharply corrupt in recent years: not only accepting huge bribes from entrepreneurs, but also reselling various industrial raw materials for huge profits, which is undoubtedly desperately digging into the corners of the country that Fang Yan is trying his best to support, which makes him feel extremely cold. You know, wool always comes from the sheep, and the happy golden rain bathed by the whart and the industrialists at this time ultimately comes from the excess value created by the hard work of millions of workers. And this wealth should have been used to strengthen the national war machine in the face of the imminent war!
However, from a rational point of view, Fang Yan realized that W&T must not follow in the footsteps of former Economic Minister Shachter. As the saying goes, the ass decides the head, and what Fang Yan does now must be in line with the identity of a member of the Brom family: he knows that once the cheap dad who has done such a big business loses the protection of the center, it will be like a three-year-old child walking in the downtown with gold in his arms, and he will be robbed by countless people. Shipbuilding, oil refining, aircraft manufacturing, vehicle production, ...... All of the industries that Rudolph now runs have mouthwatering profits, which are fatal to the ghould-eating vultures in the country!
Even in later generations, capital must be closely integrated with power in order to obtain the talisman of safe development. Putting aside the plutocracy of the United States, the beacon of freedom, even Ma Yun and Jianlin of the Great Celestial Empire are no exception - if there is no backstage to support them, how can they reach that scale?
"Jonas, you're the smartest man in our family. You were able to foresee the rise of the Führer and let me join the National Socialist Party early, and now there must be a way to help me through this difficult time, right? Watt seemed to suddenly think of something, and the eyes that looked at Fang Yan suddenly burst with a luster of hope. He gritted his teeth and spoke again: "If you can find a way to get the Führer to approve me for another second term, I will transfer half, nay, three-quarters of the property to you, and this money will be enough for you to buy a small county town in the south." ”
Fang Yan was in a heavy mood when he heard this, and the familiar relatives in front of him had completely degenerated into gluttonous bureaucrats who were lying on the country and sucking blood frantically. However, he had to stand in the same trench with him against his original intention, and he had to try his best to keep his power and prevent him from being deposed by Hitler. In the silence for a long time, Fang Yan, whose thoughts were flying, gradually gave birth to a feasible idea. It's just that this is a powerful medicine with extremely side effects, which will have immeasurable consequences for the whole of Germany, and Fang Yan's control of the future will be completely out of control.
Fang Yan closed his eyes, and his heart began to struggle violently. On the one hand, the bottom-line belief that he had adhered to for decades in his two lives, and on the other hand, the fate of the family and the interests of the individual at his fingertips, the two wills clashed sonorously in his mind, making Fang Yan, who had always been decisive, also fall into a continuous hesitation. Gritting his teeth and hesitating, Fang Yan's eyes flashed the scene of his grandfather Leo dying of grief and anger after being ransacked by British robbers in the shipyard, and then Rudolph struggled to shoulder the burden of reviving the family business in a bleak and desperate situation. In order to help the family get restart funds, Walt resolutely left his hometown and lurked incognito in the United States for 10 years, and after returning, he could no longer even speak his native language.
"I can't be a saint who can help the world. If history will judge the choices I make today, then let me bear it. Fang Yan muttered silently, already having a decision in his heart. He opened his eyes, looked at him calmly, and said, "I have a way, maybe I can make the Führer change his mind and continue to rely on you." ”
Fang Yan turned around and locked the door, and said slowly in a deep voice: "If the Führer is ready to remove you from power, uncle, then from the current point of view, there is only one main reason: your alliance with your father's natural power-capital has challenged the supreme authority of the Führer in terms of objective ability. You know, the Führer has been wary of industrial giants since the integration of the country, lest we become like the American plutocracy that can exert a huge influence on national policy. To this end, he put together the three largest Qatars, including Farben Chemical, into a plate of scattered sand, so that his power could crush any of them and ensure the smooth transmission of the central decree. ”
Waelter frowned and said, "You mean that our family's strength has crossed the Führer's red line of tolerance for domestic capital forces, so we have to balance the suppression?" But I can't make up for it in this direction! Rudy and I are brothers, and I can't break up his estate, and even if I do make a gesture to break with Rudy, the Führer's natural kinship between us is unlikely to reassure the Führer. ”
Fang Yan shook his head slowly and said, "This is not the only way to solve the problem. If the Führer's authority is further enhanced to the point where the most powerful industrial magnates are bowed before him, then he will naturally allow the Broms to continue to grow, and there will be no obstacle to your re-election as Minister of Economy. After all, you have also made a lot of achievements in the past four years, and it is difficult for the Führer to find a more suitable candidate. ”
"But it's harder for me than breaking with Rudy." The hope that had just risen dissipated again, and he said with a sad face, "The Führer's authority today is so high that even the army command has been subdued by him, how can I help him to further improve?" What's more, I only have less than 5 months left for me. ”
Fang Yan didn't answer, got up and walked to the bookcase in the middle of the room, Waelt watched in a daze as his nephew swept up and down his database, and then pulled out a thick black book from it. When Fang Yan handed it to him, W&Ert was stunned and said, "Mein Kampf"? What do you mean by showing me this book? ”
"Uncle, have you read the book written by the Führer carefully?" Fang Yan's eyes were solemn and he asked. Waelter shook his head in confusion: "I haven't even finished the first chapter. Everyone knows that the Führer's book is too boring and lengthy to arouse people's interest in reading. With the exception of Hess, a psychomaniac, and Baumann, the unbounded watchdog, few in the party's top brass had read it, not even Goebbels, who was a propagandist. Why, what's the use of this thing? ”
"From now on, you should spend all your spare time studying this book, finding out from it the ideas that are in line with the current tone of National Socialism and the Führer's world outlook and philosophical outlook, and then deduce and summarize them into a set of distinctive and logical ideological tools." Fang Yan's voice spoke slowly, and his face showed a bit of indescribable complexity, "Before July comes, you must complete this work. After that, go to His Excellency Goebbels and ask him to help you spread this set of ideas and theories. ”
Waelter chewed Fang Yan's words carefully, his eyes suddenly brightened, and blurted out: "Do you mean to artificially set off a political movement, use power to coerce everyone's words, and then push the Führer to the most glorious tide?" But does this have the desired effect? If the Führer's prestige does not take as qualitatively as he did at the time of the Munich Agreement, he will still not be on guard against our family. ”
"Uncle, you underestimate the power of political movements in powerful countries. The fear created by the secret police and concentration camps can make almost everyone tremble and prostrate themselves beneath the rulers. The Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who was incompetent in governing the country and starved more than 6 million people to death in Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe, is now the supreme pope of the entire Soviet Union, and everyone praises him as the great leader, the contemporary Lenin, and does not dare to disobey his will in the slightest. All of this was given by the political movement of the gods. Fang Yan said unhurriedly.
"Compared to the mediocre and fierce Stalin, it is obviously easier to put the Führer on the altar. The Führer's exploits are enough to shine in the thousand-year-old national history of Germany, and if there is a systematic political theory that ideologically governs the whole people, the situation will inevitably be the praise of all the people, and the Führer will be raised directly from the legend to the level of the present man and god. In order to gain supreme power, Stalin hunted down and suppressed millions of soldiers and civilians in his country, and the Führer did not even need the secret police to create terror, and with his own exploits he could make everything fall into place. ”
Fang Yan paused and continued: "More importantly, when you put forward this concept extracted from Mein Kampf, uncle, it is tantamount to showing a clear political attitude to the Führer and all the people: you are a loyal follower of the Führer and a staunch standard-bearer of National Socialism, and a revolutionary comrade of our Party who is loyal and pure. With this layer of aura, even if the Führer still wants to remove you, it is very likely that he will be forced to withdraw due to political and public opinion scruples. After all, no matter how much intrigue and intrigue there are in the military and government, they must show a glorious situation of unity and dedication to the country at the top of the country. ”
Wat's lips opened slightly, and his eyes gradually bloomed with excitement and ecstasy. Judging from his cognitive experience over the years, Fang Yan's strategy is absolutely feasible, as long as he can find the key points of Hitler's interests politically, he will have every chance to complete a tacit deal with the other party. It's just that there is one thing that Wolt still doesn't understand, why Fang Yan wants to emphasize that his efforts must be completed by July? Now that there are just over 4 months left in his tenure, the possibility of Hitler's early face-turning showdown is almost non-existent!
