Chapter 31: Released from Prison (2)
It's not that Contini necessarily corrupts Goering, it's that Goering does need money, not for squandering or pomp, but for marriage.
His fiancée, Betty, has risen to the position of general manager of the United Radio Company (formerly the general manager of the United Radio Company), several ranks above Goering in the group, who is equivalent to the vice president of United Airlines, and Goering is at most a middle-level deputy of United Airlines. Although Goering has a high status in the Nationalist Socialist Party, his fiancée is also a member of the executive committee of the Youth League, and her political status is also half-hearted. Betty's family is also from an aristocratic background, so this family business cannot be shabby in any way.
Now the deputy manager of the department wants to marry the vice president of the company, and Contini, of course, has to support Goering on the scene, not to mention the money, and the official position is also promoted to Goering, from the deputy captain of the second transport brigade to the captain of the floating airport training group - in fact, it is equal to the captain of the carrier-based aviation, and the position of deputy captain is given to Potti, so that Goering is promoted from deputy manager to full manager.
He always felt that he was responsible for not taking Hitler away that time, so he made a vow: If Hitler is not in prison, he will not get married! Betty has not complained about this matter, and Goering has not regretted it, but seeing that Hitler is about to be released, there is no problem, but now the marriage must be handled quickly: because the number of personnel in the carrier-based aviation training team will soon be fully in place, it will be very busy in the future, plus there is still heavy party work, even if Contini does not remind him, Goering and his family know it.
Compared with history, Göring's personal resume and emotional career have changed dramatically: Göring's first marriage was to Karine von Fokke, who was still married at the time, and Göring pried it with a hoe. After Contini intervened, he quickly provided funding to the National Socialist Party, which made Goering, who was busy with "revolutionary work", have no time to pry the corner, and then because he wanted to plan the riot, Göring brought people to Italy for training, Contini expressed "contempt" for his behavior of wanting to pry the corner, and took the opportunity to introduce Betty, who was the senior sister of the same school and was the director of the administrative office of the "Youth Daily" at the time, to him, plus the two also had business contacts - Goering was responsible for delivering newspapers to the "Youth Daily", and Betty was in charge of the newspaper side. After coming and going, the two looked at each other.
Goering's ace pilot identity and handsome and dashing face quickly captured Betty's heart, and Betty's capable style and youthful vitality also made Goering's heart moved, and he deliberately went to learn Italian in order to fall in love, and later Betty quickly became the general manager of United Radio under the promotion of Contini Rocket, everyone in United Airlines knew that Goering's vice captain was a white rich beauty - 5 years younger than him, with several times his income, and a new era female general manager who graduated from the University of Rome.
Since then, Comrade Goering has felt a great deal of economic pressure, and while he has devoted himself to "dedicating" himself to the revolution, he has been thinking about how to get more money.
Before Contini came, he agreed with Goering that the wedding would be held in Italy, and all expenses, including the round-trip travel expenses and accommodation expenses of the German guests, would be fully covered by the United Group, and the $200,000 would only be used by Göring to buy a house and buy jewelry in Rome, as much as possible to match the identity of the two people, and the car would not have to worry about Goering, and Contini would give the young couple a Maybach limousine as a gift. He said that this is a major event of the United Group, and he will do his best! - Nonsense, how can the wedding of a future imperial marshal not be done well? In the future, Contini will still count on Betty to blow the pillow wind.
In order to keep the line of the Imperial Marshal, Contini calculated a lot of effort, on the one hand, to give Goering a toss career and promotion rank, but also to help him pay attention to his love life, and on the other hand, to help Goering eliminate hidden dangers - if it were not for Contini's intervention, Goering would have been shot several times by now, and then he was forced to become infected with morphine dependence without treatment, and then became fat in the future. Although Goering is now 33 years old, he is still in the wind, dignified, and wears pilot's windproof goggles all day long, how can he look like a fat man?
Hitler was also happy for Goering, smiling and patting the other party's shoulder: "Herman, I'm really happy for you, but unfortunately I'm bound by the terms and can't go abroad for 2 years, so I can't go to the wedding site to congratulate, but other comrades will definitely be there!" ”
"Thank you! Thank you! Goering's face burst into laughter.
After the greetings, Contini accompanied Hitler to dinner and asked, "Listen to Comrade Hess that you have written a book?" ”
"Yes!" Hitler immediately asked Hess to bring the manuscript, "The title is what you told me last time - Mein Kampf!" ”
Contini took the manuscript and read it carefully, and after about 10 minutes, he said: "I have discussed with the doctor on the way, and I think that if you have a work with ideas, spirit, and personal heart, it is very important to print and publish it immediately, and it must be distributed to all comrades of the Party and the people of Germany, so that they can know your thoughts and the ideas of the Party, and build momentum for the next step of political work!" ”
Hitler modestly said: "You have to help me improve it, my theoretical level is not good yet......"
"You don't need to improve it, it's good, and even a lot of colloquial, straightforward passages don't change, just keep the original flavor." Contini explained, "We are not publishing this book for academic discussion or political theoretical debate, but to make it understandable and acceptable to the public...... I probably read too much, and I always write a little pedantic, and the intellectuals and bourgeois seem to be smooth, but the general citizen class is a little tired, and it is not as approachable as what you write, so I have to learn more from you, and I have to go deep into the grassroots and get close to the masses. ”
Hitler laughed: "I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like that...... Can the book be released? ”
"Yes! Absolutely! ”
"But we don't have the talent and the channels like that!"
"Isn't this an achievement?" Contini pointed to Goebbels, "Dr. is now the head of the culture and media sector of the United Group, and manages the newspaper, the printing house, the film company, the advertising agency, the radio station, the magazine, and is a banner of the propaganda and public opinion position, very experienced, especially commendable, as a German, he not only quickly mastered the Italian language, but also combined with the Italian national characteristics and social atmosphere to carry out targeted propaganda and agitation. The film has been well received by all walks of life, and has been released more than 3,000 times in a row, setting a box office record and is a milestone in the Italian film industry! ”
Goebbels said modestly: "I only did some trivial work under the leadership of the president, and the main foundation was laid when the president personally took the lead, and the development plan and direction were also formulated by the president, and I only implemented it." At present, the United Group has formed a complete process of printing, publishing and distribution in Italy, and the United Printing House is one of the strongest printing plants in Italy and the best quality. I propose that I, together with Comrade Hess, be responsible for the editing and final revision of the manuscript. ”
Hess hurriedly stood up: "I will definitely assist Comrade Goebbels in this job." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you!"
"Boss, when it comes to the price, the president has different considerations......
Contini continued: "I think the first batch of 300,000 copies will be better distributed as a gift! ”
"300,000 copies?" Hitler was stunned for a moment, "Do you want so much?" I thought a few thousand copies would do. ”
"No, you want so much, to let more and wider German people know about you and support you, 300,000 is just the beginning, I think there will be 3 million or even 13 million in the future...... I will pay the first batch of funds, as long as you want to know the knowledge of the party, you can get it, of course, I will give you royalties according to the normal standard. ”
Hitler shook his head: "It doesn't matter if the royalties are paid, just when I contribute to the party." ”
Goebbels said: "In order to increase the influence and publicity of the book, I have a proposal to ask the president to write a preface to the book - the president is now very popular in Germany, and many people admire the president......"
"This is good, this is good, Calais, it's up to you......"
Contini smiled: "It's also my pleasure! ”
Before parting, Hitler had hesitated to withdraw Goering and Goebbels from Italy, but he was shocked by what Goering said in his ear: "Chief, Calais has formed an oil guard, which is actually a youth army, in which about 2,000 of the best young and middle-aged officers of the Wehrmacht are concentrated, and he agrees that we will go there to develop the ranks, train activists, propagate the party's ideas and ideas, and do great things in the future, and the role of these young officers should not be underestimated." In addition, the number of German workers working in Italy has reached more than 20,000, including nearly 50,000 with their families, and the number is still growing rapidly, and Comrade Goebbels and I believe that it is necessary to accelerate the pace of development...... So we can't go back, on the contrary, we have to send more forces to us! ”
Hitler nodded, after the Battle of Munich, he deeply realized the importance of the army, if he could develop among this group of officers, would he not be like a tiger in the future?
"Yes, yes, yes, yes...... Whom will they send? Hitler glanced at Hess, "Originally, Comrade Hess was quite suitable, but I can't do without him now." ”
"Calais nominated another comrade."
"Comrade Fritz Tóth, he thinks that Comrade Tall is profoundly learned, firm in faith, and can be of great use! Moreover, to carry out party work in Italy, it is necessary to have a legal identity and status, and Dr. Toth's experience in municipal engineering is just right for the United Group. ”
Hitler nodded: "Since Calais is optimistic about it, use it like this, let him be Goebbels's deputy, and count him as your subordinate!" ”
Contini was glad that it was the time of the construction of the German Labor Front, when the future head of the German Labor Front was under his control, and he would not be bothered to organize the construction and production of the labor force.
On the morning of 22 December, when Hitler was officially released from prison, the streets and alleys were filled with crowds of people greeting him, wrapped in "swastika" armbands, and the National Socialist Party contingent with a big banner marched from the prison gate to the city in five steps, dressed in black uniforms. As the convertible car carrying Hitler passed, the crowd of onlookers raised their right hands and saluted, shouting "Long live victory!" The women kept throwing flowers into the convertible car—not like welcoming prisoners out of prison, but like welcoming heroes returning triumphantly.
Hitler cried out in his heart: "Germany, I'm back!" ”
