Chapter 52: A Man from Germany (2)

Contini expected Hitler to send someone to contact him, and the last time the $10,000 was donated and dealt with, the two sides would be considered to have formally established a relationship, and in the eyes of the other party, he was probably not only a like-minded revolutionary, but also a steady stream of sponsors, and as long as he wanted to continue to develop and expand his influence, this line would never be forgotten.

However, he was slightly surprised that Hitler did not simply send a telegram to himself, but directly sent Goering over - now this point in time is when the National Socialist Party is frantically expanding its power, and Göring will play a very important and crucial role in it.

Goering was not a reckless man or a rough man like Roma, his father was a cavalry officer, former governor of Southwest Africa (Namibia) in the Second German Empire, and was also considered a high-ranking bureaucrat, although he retired early because of his liberal and socialist political views, so that the power of the family did not continue, but Goering still systematically received a non-commissioned officer school in Karlsruhe and a military camp in the town of Lichtfeld in Berlin, which was usually the standard for the children of nobles and bureaucrats. Therefore, he is considered to be the most harmonious and methodical figure in dealing with the upper class society in the Kuomintang Socialist Party.

After the meeting, although he was anxious to ask for money, he never mentioned the word money between his words, but solemnly took out a badge and a certificate, respectfully handed it to Contini, and said humbly: "Your Excellency can be regarded as the best friend and brother of the Party in terms of revolutionary theory, revolutionary practice and revolutionary friendship, and the leader is very grateful for everything Your Excellency has done for the Party, and I have specially entrusted me with this honorary party membership certificate numbered 00001, I hope you can accept it." ”

In fact, the National Socialist Party prepared a high-numbered certificate of honor to General Erich von Ludendorff, the famous First Quartermaster General (equivalent to Deputy Chief of Staff) during the former Second Reich, and other influential supporters in the country, but Ludendorff, although he was already close to Hitler and relatively close in ideology, refused to accept to become a member of the National Socialist Party, which he believed was at most a cooperative relationship, or that he led a series of right-wing forces, including Hitler.

Although this attitude did not affect Hitler's cooperation with him, this honorary certificate was destined to not be issued, and later he simply became distracted and planned to issue the first honorary number to Contini - at first he had the mentality of pulling the other party into the party, but Goering dissuaded him, he thought it would be embarrassing to let Contini become a party member - first, Contini was Italian and did not belong to the category of a nation; Second, it is not easy to arrange after joining the party, this kind of person is obviously not good to be treated as an ordinary party member, and if it is placed in the top level of the National Socialist Party, it will cause chaos; Third, there is also an Italian fascist behind Contini, and if this relationship is not good, it will be messy.

After Goering's persuasion, Hitler changed his mind and no longer insisted that Contini join the party, but he wanted to make a special badge to win over this man.

Contini laughed at the gold badge of honor and the swastika in the middle—something that had never been done before in history, and his butterfly began to quietly influence the change of history. Historically, the party constitution issued by the Kuomintang did not appear until after 1930, and there was no such thing as an honorary member.

"I am very happy to be an honorary member of your party, and I am very happy to be an honorary member of your party, in fact, I have a high degree of unity with your party's thoughts and ideas, and although I have known each other for less than half a year, I am like a revolutionary comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side for several years."

As soon as Contini accepted the title, the big stone in Goering's heart fell to the ground: accept it, accept it, and only after accepting it can the following requirements be continued.

He hurriedly said: "Although we have not known Your Excellency for a long time, as Your Excellency said, our consensus and friendship on the road of revolution have a long history. ”

"What has Mr. Adolf been up to lately? I think the Franco-Belgian invasion of the Ruhr area is a dangerous signal, your party...... Forehead...... We...... The moment should be seized to make a difference. ”

Göring's smile was even worse when he heard Contini transform the title of "your party" into "we" in the conversation, although your party is polite, but it is not a family, we are a family.

He hurriedly said: "Indeed, Fabi's aggressive actions have made it more and more clear to the broad masses of the German people that if the current German government is weak, incompetent, surrendered, and betrayed, and continues to maintain in this way, Germany and the German nation will be torn apart and suffer a catastrophe, and Leader Adolf is currently leading the whole party to continuously launch political propaganda and expand the ranks, and now the number of registered party members of our party has exceeded 30,000, and the number of peripheral supporters and their families has exceeded 100,000!" It has a significant influence in South Germany, especially in Bavaria. ”

Goering was clearly lying here, and before he came, although the number of members of the party was rising, and it did not break through the 20,000 mark, his mouth became 30,000 with a casual mouth, and he also bullsucked 100,000 supporters, if there were so many supporters, Bavaria would have been the world of the National Socialist Party by now.

Contini smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything: he knew that as the Ruhr crisis deepened and the mark was scrapped, sooner or later the National Socialist Party members would break this number.

"To carry out a social revolution, it is necessary to have a good popular base...... I think it's the right thing to do to expand the team. Contini thought for a moment, "Is there anything I can do for the party?" ”

The phrase "We would like to ask you to support one more ......" almost blurted out of Goering's mouth, but in the end it was suppressed, and he only said, "The leader is eager to invite you to go north to speak to the party members in other capacities, to preach revolutionary theories and experiences, and to teach the revolutionary methods to the backbone of the party...... This is a very crucial encouragement and guidance for us. ”

This sentence shows Göring's skill: after coming to Italy, he did not rush to see Contini, but first found a hotel to stay, on the one hand, to keep his spirits up and not to be looked down upon by the tired appearance of dusty and dusty, and on the other hand, he asked his entourage who knew Italian to help him collect all the recent newspapers and periodicals, trying to grasp some first-hand information, and he particularly stressed the need to carefully read all the "Youth Newspapers" in the past month, especially the articles written by Contini.

It turned out that things were easier than he thought, and after reading a few newspapers, he learned about the latest news in Italy: the son of the Ziano family used legal means to launch an attack on the old Socialist politicians, and then saw the articles written by Contini and the rumors of the trial.

Although Goering did not know why the eldest young master and an old politician could not get along, the conclusion was very obvious: first, this young man was very busy now, and it was impossible for him to have time to go to Germany, let alone tell the National Socialist Party any revolutionary truths and stories; Second, this boy is still richer and more energetic than he imagined - two company chairmen, two cabinet ministers, several cabinet ministers testified in person, and even Prime Minister Mussolini spoke in support of Contini on the news, if this is not energy, then there is not much in the world that can be called energy.

So, he made a request that Contini would obviously refuse outright – and if the other party refused, wouldn't it be much easier for him to make other demands next?

Contini admired Goering's "cunning", but he was in a good mood and didn't want to waste time on the details, so he said: "I've been really busy lately, I'm fighting a lawsuit with Matteotti, the secretary general of the Italian Socialist Party and a member of Congress...... I feel very sorry for disappointing the deep friendship of my comrades. ”

Goering smiled slightly, not showing much regret, and now he could ask for money......
