Chapter 31: The First Handshake (1)

On December 21, Christmas was getting closer and closer, but there was no warm atmosphere of celebration in Germany, and the situation had become more and more serious: France and Belgium twice refused to mediate between Britain and the United States, and insisted that if they could not get all the reparations by December 31, they would use all means, including force, to claim it themselves.

Stimulated by this grim situation, the mark exchange rate has been declining, has approached the 10,000 mark, breaking through the hand, Contini took advantage of the situation to partially close the position, and swept away more than 3 million US dollars back to Italy, now he is the youngest multimillionaire on the planet.

He knew that the exchange rate would fall again, but when the day of the collapse came, not only would the foreign exchange he earned not flow out, but there was even the possibility of liquidation, so he closed his positions one after another with the idea of not eating the fishtail, and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Antonio let some of the money flow directly into the United States - it looked more like the tactics of Jewish financial speculators.

The stock purchase in the U.S. market has been realized smoothly, with GM shares buying more than 80 yuan, American Radio buying more than 70 yuan, and other scattered large stocks also buying some, making a total market value of 2 million US dollars - the U.S. stock market is still falling by inertia, and the stock that Contini asked to buy lost 3% in a few days, but he didn't care, asked to continue buying, and cherished this last good time to absorb chips.

When he finally returned home from his trip to Germany, Contini suddenly remembered something and asked him for leave, saying that he wanted to buy some Christmas gifts to give home to his family and colleagues in the Youth Union.

Du Hei nodded and smiled: It's always good for young people to think about other people when they go abroad, putting aside family background and learning, Calais is not bad just from the perspective of being a person, except for a little flamboyant tongue, much more reliable than other young Italians. He agreed to stay for a day, and he continued to improve the draft of the "Theory of Air Supremacy" and let the eldest young master go out to buy big.

Walking through the cold and somewhat bleak streets of Munich, Contini took a deep breath, grabbed a newsboy, handed him a $10 note, and asked: "Excuse me, help me find a place for the activities or meetings of the German National Socialist Workers' Party, I want to find someone, if you can do it, the $10 is yours." ”

The newsboy was annoyed that someone was holding him, but when he saw the $10, his eyes became eagerβ€”$10 was worth his hard-earned income for 10 days of work: "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

"Mr. Adolf Hitler or Hermann Wilhelm Goering." Contini speaks German very well, especially when pronouncing the names of these two people.

"I can do that, but can you pay me first?"

"No problem!" Contini laughed and shoved $10 into his hand, "Take me over." ”

"A little farther away, do you need a carriage ride?"

"Okay, let's go ......"

Following the directions of the newsboy, the carriage led Contini to the door of a bar in some seclusion: "Sir, they often meet here, and today there will be a speech, and several people will take the stage...... No, it's already begun. ”

"You seem familiar with their situation?"

"I have listened to Mr. Hitler's speeches several times, and they spoke very well and spoke to our hearts, but unfortunately I am not old enough to join the party."

Contini smiled: "You can join the party in a few years, in no particular order, it's good to have this intention, if you agree with a party's program and recognize a leader who can follow, what does it matter if you are a party member?" ”

The newsboy's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir, your words made me suddenly bright, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance!" ”

Contini pushed open the door of the bar, and a strange and familiar voice floated over: "...... The problem we are now facing is very clear, that is, this weak, incompetent, and rotten bourgeois government cannot lead Germany forward, cannot give the people the order and work they need, and they succumb to the diplomatic pressure of France and Belgium to the outside world, do not dare to let go of the people, and always fantasize that hugging the thighs of Britain and the United States can solve the problem; Internally, our Party, as the party of the German working class, must hold high the banner and make a difference in this crisis by succumbing to the power of the Jewish capitalists, brutally oppressing the working people, infringing on our interests, and pandering to the ultra-conservative reactionaries to suppress the working class......

…… Recently, the exchange rate of the mark in the market has fallen sharply, inflation has become more and more serious, the interests of the people have been seriously harmed, the already extremely meager family assets and salaries have evaporated rapidly, and the capitalists and speculators have made a lot of money in this storm, I heard a small news that a member of a Jewish speculative financial family and his agents were engaged in currency speculation in Frankfurt, and this person alone swept away 100 billion marks (equivalent to 10 million dollars) from currency fluctuations, and others can imagine......"

Looking up, the iconic face, the eye-catching mustache, and the exaggerated and expressive speech movements all indicate that he is the head of state. Contini subconsciously touched his nose, it seemed that he was talking about this just now, but fortunately he reported the sign of the Jews - he applauded his hypocrisy in his heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Far from being liquidated, the moths and sinners of these countries have intensified...... We must resist them...... I am greatly inspired and encouraged by the recent success of the Italian Revolution, and I think the most important thing is to unite and fight hard for the people, especially the working class...... The united German people are invincible...... In order to devote itself to this vigorous revolutionary activity, our party now needs to raise some funds, and comrades are invited to donate enthusiastically! ”

After a short time, someone held a tray to collect donations in turn, Contini saw very clearly, most of them were 1,000 and 2,000 denominations, and only a very small part was 10,000 marks (equivalent to the daily salary of an ordinary worker), the tray quickly arrived in front of Contini, he thought for a while and asked: "I don't have many marks in my hand, can I replace them with other currencies?" ”

The party member who collected the donation thought that he wanted to shirk it, and he was a little disdainful, but he was still very polite on his face: "It's okay, sir, any amount of donation is a strong support for our party." ”

Contini smiled slightly, took out $100 and put it on the tray, and pointed to Hitler, who had just finished his speech and was resting: "Can you invite that gentleman over, I want to have a drink with him, and if the conversation is good, I can donate more." ”

At first, the other party was unimpressed, but when he saw that it was 100 dollars, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because this was equivalent to 1 million marks, which was more than all the other donations he received today, and hurriedly said, "No problem, sir." This is Mr. Adolf Hitler, who is the leader of our party, and I will report that he should be happy to talk to a generous gentleman. ”

"FΓΌhrer, a gentleman has given us $100, and he has offered to have a drink, and if we have a good conversation, he is willing to donate more."

Before Hitler could speak, Strassel, the No. 2 figure in the party, muttered: "What does this guy do for us?" Escort girl? ”

Hermann Goering stood behind Hitler, his face became unsightly, of course he knew that Strassel was playing on the topic, not because he couldn't drink with the donor, but because the other party didn't invite him, and he was upset to ask Hitler by name.

"It's nothing, since he funded us a lot of money, we should thank the other party for everything, you wait a while, I'll come when I go." Hitler moved quickly and quickly pulled out of his way towards Contini.
