Chapter 25: The Revolution (3)
"Herman, in fact, I still have a few words in my heart, I don't know how to open my mouth to say to you......"
"Calais, we're comrades and brothers, aren't we? What can't you say to me? Goering, in turn, comforted Contini, saying, "If you want to criticize me, just say it, I know I have a lot of shortcomings." β
"That's not what it means, it's about the party and the revolution."
Goering was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Then you can't hide it, now is a critical moment!"
Contini sighed: "When the leader made a revolution, the Italian Wehrmacht did not intervene, but could the Weimar Wehrmacht not intervene?" β
"What did I think you were worried about? It turned out to be this. Goering laughed, "Don't worry about the attitude of the Wehrmacht, we will definitely not be able to defeat the Wehrmacht in terms of war, the leader does not expect to fight with the Wehrmacht, we will definitely lose if we really fight, the training of the commando is not to fight with the Wehrmacht, but to deter other small people and police, the reason why he can't come to Rome to negotiate with you in person this time is because he has recently communicated with General Ludendorff to coordinate the details of the revolution, the latter has a huge influence in the German army, and his prestige can completely suppress the Wehrmacht, I believe that the Wehrmacht will not do anything to us." Not only did we not oppose the Wehrmacht, but the leader also said that if the revolution succeeded, the Wehrmacht would be expanded. β
"What if there is opposition from those of a higher prestige?"
"Impossible! There is no general in the army who has a higher prestige than Ludendorff, you may not know much about the German army, prestige is not just based on rank, seniority and military exploits are more important than titles. β
"I think there is a ......," Contini said bluntly, "General Ludendorff's old superior, Field Marshal Hindenburg!" β
"This ......" Goering gasped, feeling that the pressure brought by the name Hindenburg was a little heavy, although he was familiar with the internal affairs of the army knew that Hindenburg mainly relied on Ludendorff for advice, but prestige is prestige, and there is no doubt that Hindenburg is stronger than Ludendorff.
"Field Marshal Hindenburg was clearly opposed to the Weimar government and Albert, and he was obsessed with restoring the monarchy, so I suppose he would have remained neutral to the revolution, right?" Goering said with some humility, "Besides, General Ludendorff has a good relationship with him, and the two are comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, so he shouldn't be so ruthless, right?" β
Contini shook his head in his heart: Ludendorff and Hitler were already incompatible cooperation, hoping that this cooperation could contain Hindenburg? How big a dream does this have to be?
"I am worried that if the Wehrmacht strikes back, there is a risk that the revolution will die abruptly." Contini sighed, "You can't do anything 100% of the ticket, this is where I feel the risk is greater, but it's better not to tell the leader and others when you go back, lest they think that I am not firmly determined to revolution, I am not against the revolution, I am just worried about the safety of my comrades!" β
"I won't say! You are kind and kind reminder to me personally, I will take it to heart, whether it is successful or not, I will try my best. Goering patted Contini on the shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on you, no one dares to say that the revolution will be successful, and the leader himself has this attitude, everyone just thinks that if the time is ripe and they don't dare to try, they will regret it in the future!" We would rather fail than regret it! β
"It's best if you can listen to it, then there's something to say." Contini smiled, "It's not good to orchestrate others behind the scenes, but I think you should be able to understand what I have to say." β
"You say, I must keep it in my heart."
"Herman, you must grasp the comrades who have been trained this time, they not only have firm beliefs, but also have good military ability, they are rare backbones, although the number is small, but as the party's guards, they are loyal and reliable, good combat power, and great energy, so they must be firmly grasped in their hands." Contini said in a serious tone, "Although strictly speaking the SA is the armed force of the party, I personally don't like Rohm very much, I always feel that he has a serious smell of arrogance and hooliganism, and I feel that his personal desire for power and profit is too heavy, and he is not a pure revolutionary!" Once you have the arms, you will have the strength, and you will be able to defend the Party, the leader, and the revolution in times of crisis! These armaments are essential to the revolution! β
Goering thought to himself: what a confidant! In such a short time, at such a distance, through so little contact, I can see that Rohm's wolf ambition is similar to what I told the leader, but why didn't Adolf listen to it? On the contrary, Calais, who was far away in Italy, hit the nail on the head. As for seizing this trained unit, he had long kept it firmly in his mind, and Hitler had repeatedly explained this point before he came, and also hinted at the establishment of the SS in the future. Your Excellency the President is really a caring person.
"Calais, I actually resonate with you about this matter, the leader has been deceived by Rohm's pretending to be revolutionary, and the latter is in fact an opportunist. But don't worry, with me staring at him, I won't allow him to talk nonsense! β
"There is another person, Strassel, the number two man of the party, although I have only come into contact with once, but after listening to his words in his speeches and the situations you usually describe to me, although it may be a little arbitrary, I just feel that he is very conservative, has little confidence in the revolution, does not have the passion and tenacity of the leader at all, and he likes to engage in those parliamentary struggles without disease and moaning, and is infatuated with the so-called legitimate struggle and willing demonstrations, rather than fighting the enemy with real swords and guns! If the revolution has a setback, you have to warn the leader to beware of this man! Such people can easily betray the revolution! β
Goering slapped his thigh: "Calais, what you said is very good, you know, your words are almost exactly the same as the chief's assessment, and Adolf said that Strassell had the weakness of the little bourgeoisβof course, in private, the latter was still one of the leaders of the party. β
"Then I'll be relieved."
Goering thought to himself: No wonder such a 20-year-old Contini dared to fight with the veteran parliamentarian Matteotti, and dared to fight with the old political party, the Socialist Party, and bit the other party with blood, and people did not take the parliament seriously at all. Listen, the "moaning parliamentary struggle without disease" is really domineering, worthy of the young Italian revolutionary!
He complimented: "I am amazed by your foresight, and I now finally understand why you succeeded in making a revolution last year, and now you are able to start such a magnificent cause, not for nothing!" It is a complete reflection of your genius ability and steel-like will. On the road of revolution, the first person I admire the most is the leader, and the second is you; In other fields, such as economic construction and industrial development, you are the person I admire the most - there is no one! Although I am a few years older than you, I always have the illusion that you are my brother and teacher on the road to revolution! β
This fart made Contini laugh too, and Goering's boasting was quite good, probably second only to Dr. Goebbels.
"You've won a prize." Contini shook hands with him, "In the last few days, if you are familiar with the flight feeling of a Ca46 transport plane full of cargo, I will wish you success in advance!" β
Goering waved his fist: "The revolution will definitely succeed, and if it succeeds, you will be the first to do it!" β
