Chapter 165: The Story of Kuhnberg (Part II)
"I know you must know something about this organization, after all, your family... Yes! I'm very sorry, my Führer. "Willer made a look of sincere fear, and the head of the Reich thought he was honestly afraid, and anyway, the significance of the Städel family to the dictator was limited to one identity.
"It doesn't matter, Werle, it's not a secret in aristocratic circles that one of the ancestors of the Städel family once joined the Illuminati." Xu Jun picked up the wine glass and took a sip of brandy.
Weierle bowed slightly and said: "I understand that my Führer, the Stadler family, has also paid a lot of price for this. ”。
"I knew if the light would die so easily, but I didn't expect them to continue to operate until now, and the organization was still fighting for that illusory goal? Weirle. Xu Jun put down his wine glass and reached out to open the cigar box on the table.
"It's true, according to Kuhnberg, that the organization is weakening, but it's still resilient." Wehrle raised his glass and took a sip of brandy.
"Can I have another drink? My Führer. The Chief of Staff shook his empty glass.
"You feel free." Xu Jun pointed to the crystal bottle on the table with his cigar.
"The Illuminati .... World government? Xu Jun struck a match and lit a cigar.
The Illuminati is also translated as the Illuminati or the Illuminati, and there are many eye-catching legends surrounding this organization in later generations, most of which are associated with conspiracy theories, and in the eyes of the world it is a mysterious society similar to Freemasonry, in fact, the difference between the two is really not very much.
Legend has it that this organization is the inheritor of the extinct Atlantean civilization, they use knowledge and technology beyond the times, secretly manipulate the operation of the entire world, they are the verifier of history, the guardian of civilization, quietly promote the process of human civilization. In fact, anyone who has an IQ on the line knows that this rumor is not reliable at all, if the Illuminati really has such a powerful power, then how can the historical process of Europe still shit like that.
The real Illuminati did exist, they inherited not Atlantis but the blood of the Byzantine Empire, and many of the founders were the surviving clergy of the Byzantine Empire, who pursued the emancipation of the mind, supported the European cultural enlightenment, worshipped the power of knowledge, opposed the dark and ignorant rule of the Holy See, and were regarded as heresy by Catholicism.
The Illuminati had their stronghold in Bavaria, and the Reformation wave in Europe at that time created the soil for the development of the Illuminati, and they held some of the intellectual and cultural heritage left by the Byzantine Empire, many of which were pagan doctrines that were strictly sealed by the Holy See, and these technologies came from the Ottomans, Persia, ancient Egypt, India and even the distant Ming Dynasty in Middle-earth.
The organization brought together a large number of famous European artists and scientists, such as Galileo and Copernicus, as well as Bruno, who are said to be full members of the Illuminati.
The Illuminati attracted not only a group of emancipated scientists, but also a group of Germanic nobles who were dissatisfied with the Holy See and the existing order, and this organization began to introduce the power of the German Freemasons in the mid-16th century, and soon turned against the Illuminati, and the Illuminati gained a leading position in the Freemasonry, and a large number of Freemasonry Templars, among whom the more famous were the Prussian von Von. General Braunschweig Rüneburg and Prince Karl of Hesse joined the Illuminati as Freemasons.
Relying on the power of Freemasonry, the Illuminati soon developed into an important political force that infiltrated all levels of society, with overlapping membership of the Illuminati and Freemasonry, but the former was more purposeful in terms of political philosophy.
Although the dark Middle Ages have come to an end, the Holy See still nominally controls most of Christendom's power, and under the coercion and temptation of Rome, the King of Prussia and the Marquis of Bavaria signed an agreement with the Holy See to ban all secret societies in Bavaria, and the following year they branded Freemasonry and Illuminati as treason and heresy. In the third year, the Prussian and Bavarian governments began to impose the death penalty on all those who openly participated in the Illuminati.
During the purge of the Illuminati, some nobles were stripped of their titles, including the ancestor of the Stadder family, which was forced to leave the Kingdom of Prussia and migrate back to the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
After being severely cracked down on by the government, the Illuminati disappeared from the Germanic lands within a few years, with some believing that the Order had disbanded, but many more believed that they had gone underground and were still carrying out their clandestine activities.
In Xu Jun's view, the German lords' decision was correct and decisive, and if they allowed the Illuminati to continue operating in their territory, they would be the first to be unlucky. The Illuminati are not an underground society with a strong religious atmosphere, such as Freemasonry, but a political organization with a firm philosophy and goal, whose goal is to overthrow the existing centralized political system and world order, and establish a fascist centralized government that rules the whole world.
After gaining domination, the Illuminati will impose a strict hierarchy of human beings, with some elite rulers at the top, others as middle managers and guardians, and most of the rest will be reduced to production workers or even slave laborers, whose value of life is to serve the rulers and fight for the system for the rest of their lives.
This idea may have had a market in the sixteenth century, but in the early twentieth century, it was only chilling, and Hitler may have tried to achieve some of his goals, but Xu Jun knew that the Führer was not a member of the Illuminati at all, and he had only been exposed to some Illuminati literature, and he had long said that Hitler's so-called political ambitions were actually a hodgepodge.
"In a prisoner of war camp in Paris, Kuhnberg met a man who called himself Count Hansen, who claimed to be a Bavarian nobleman, but it was clear that he was in the service of the French." Wehrle picked up the crystal bottle and poured himself half a glass of brandy.
"It's not surprising, Weirle, that there will be a traitor in any country." Xu Jun exhaled a puff of smoke and threw the matchstick into the ashtray.
"My Führer, as far as I know, this was a rare thing at that time, knowing that the German Empire had not yet been defeated." Wehrle reminded.
"Don't forget that the royal family of Hohenzollern has never been short of enemies." Xu Jun picked up his wine glass with a disdainful face, and out of politeness, he did not directly explain the meaning behind this sentence.
It is true that the Hohenzollern family has produced many wise and resolute monarchs in history, but there is really nothing to say about the last Caesar.
"You're right, I didn't take that into account, my Führer." Since the head of state said this, of course Weierle will not refute it, and it is indeed not wrong for Xu Jun to say it. That Wilhelm II seemed to have added a lifetime of skill points to ridicule, and there was no better person in the world to carry that cauldron than him.
"Go on, talk about that Count Hansen, Willle." Xu Jun took a sip of brandy and put the wine glass on the table.
