Chapter 31: Revolution (9)
After a lot of nonsense, Goering brought the circle back again: "Therefore, it is not impossible to recommend candidates to Italy, but Comrade Himmler can't!" You think, how could a man of his calibre be a small chicken farmer with a strong background, such as a top student at the University of Rome, a revolutionary theoretician, and president of a group? It's definitely not fun to go there, and if you have to send someone, I, Hermann Goering, will not let you! ”
"Hermann, you have to stay in Germany, the revolution is about to begin, you are now very important to me and to the party, we need you!" Hitler emphasized, "It is equally important to go to Italy to start the preparatory work for the party organization, and I have heard that there are more than 3,000 Germans working in the United Group alone, and their families, plus those who are about to leave soon, I estimate that they will soon exceed 10,000, which is a very good mass base, and we must firmly grasp it!" ”
"Since I can't go and I have to send someone, I recommend someone to you."
Hitler asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”
"Comrade Goebbels!" Göring solemnly introduced, "Comrade Goebbels has a doctorate, is educated, educated, and eloquent, and Calais has a very good impression of his articles, and has promised to help him publish his works, although the two have never met, but through two or three letters, they have been in contact with each other, and if Goebbels goes to work, I think he can further strengthen his relationship with Calais - at least at his level, he can be qualified to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Youth or Italian national radio." ”
Hitler frowned, although he didn't think that Contini would watch people cook, but what Goering said was not unreasonable, this person should be cautious, sending Himmler is indeed a bit risky, isn't it sending Goebbels? He'll have to think again.
"You must have a legal status in the United Group, and it is impossible to do party work purely without work, not because of income, but because you don't have a decent and proper job, and you can't serve the public without a little social status."
Goering pointed to himself: "You see, I am the deputy captain of the second transport team of United Airlines, in charge of the dispatch and command of more than 40 transport planes, in charge of a large number of people, and often bring new pilots by myself. Although I flew a fighter plane in the last big war, I was equally comfortable flying transport planes, and they all recognized my business ability. Without this identity and status, how can you make the Germans of the United Group admire you? They are not ordinary Germans, they are all educated, capable, and skilled backbones, and the candidates for secretaries must be excellent, and Comrade Himmler must not be allowed to open a chicken farm and carry out mass work with the smell of stinking chicken manure, right? Then I can guarantee that in less than a week Calais will be driven away! ”
"Herman, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your mouth is a lot meaner."
"Where, I'm just telling the truth, didn't you always teach us to be loyal to the party and honest with our comrades? I'll get straight to the point. Goering smiled, "If we go to the agricultural areas to develop the masses and carry out the work of the party, I think Comrade Himmler is quite suitable, really!" ”
Hitler was amused by this serious nonsense: this was nonsense, how could the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany leave a large number of working classes alone to mobilize the peasants? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
In fact, Himmler, who was greatly belittled by Goering, was also a registered student in agriculture at the University of Munich (not yet graduated), not as unbearable as he described, and chose to enter agriculture on a chicken farm because his father believed that agriculture was important for the future of Germany - of course it was a good word, but it always sounded a little weird, the reason why Hitler first thought of Himmler was because on the one hand he was recommended by Rohm and usually performed well, very organized and disciplined, Hitler appreciated this style of work, and on the other hand, he felt that Himmler was young, Only 23 years old, he should have a common language with Contini, who is also young, which is good for work.
There was no contradiction between Goering and Himmler himself, and his reluctance to recommend Himmler was certainly selfish, but more importantly, because of Rohm, Himmler was Rohm's subordinate, who recommended him to join the "German Flag" organization (a left-wing radical group) and join the party - because of the current strong appeal of the National Socialist Party, Himmler joined the party earlier than the same period in history and gained a foothold in the SA, and when he heard that Himmler was going to Italy, he instinctively thought that it was Rohm who was making trouble, so he tried to organize it.
After the news of the commandos' return from Italy and the arms donation reached Munich, Rohm thought that he had neglected the Italian line, regretted it deeply, and decided to do everything possible to insert it, and Himmler was the weapon he took out to test.
Göring continued: "I don't know if you remember, Dr. Goebbels, unlike the others, was actually introduced to the party by Calais. ”
History changed dramatically because of Continy's wings: Goebbels received his doctorate from the University of Heidelberg in 1921 and then devoted himself to writing novels, plays and poetry, including the novel Michael, the plays The Wanderer and The Lonely Guest, whose talent was not appreciated and was dismissed by publishers. As the "Youth Daily" had a little fame in Germany, and the reputation of Contini as a revolutionary theoretician and the extravagance of the United Group had a great influence in Germany, Goebbels seized the opportunity that was not an opportunity and summoned up the courage to submit his work to the "Youth Daily" newspaper, hoping that it would be appreciated.
His literary level is actually very average, but this name immediately attracted Contini's great attention, and he enthusiastically replied that he could help him publish, and even provide full funding, not for content, but for the name "Goebbels" - if you regard Goebbels as a writer or poet, it must be crappy and third-rate, but if it is used to manage propaganda and public opinion, the custody is world-class!
It doesn't matter if no one buys it, the United Group can buy it all and give it to the subscribers of Youth Daily! - The domineering president has a way to satisfy Comrade Goebbels!
Goebbels, of course, was flattered, and immediately admired President Contini like a surging Danube, hoping for the opportunity to meet him in person. Unfortunately, Contini had other considerations, and it was inconvenient to accompany Ida at this time, so he first named the National Socialist Party, thinking that he should join this party, and warmly invited him to work in Italy in the future.
At this time, the National Socialist Party was funded by Contini's gold dollars, and Hitler had more time and funds for the lecture tour, and Goebbels joined the National Socialist Party because of Contini's recommendation and Hitler's speech. Because of his high education and excellent writing, he was quickly recruited by Strassel to become a capable player - nearly a year before history.
Contini knew he was playing for Strassell, but he didn't care, Goebbels would one day side with Hitler and Goering, who were essentially fellow travelers!
