Chapter 50: Iron and Blood (11)
The violent explosion caused at least 300 casualties among the officers and men of the defense army, which was greater than all the losses added up to the time when he entered the city, and the face of Sickert himself, who was watching the battle from behind, changed dramatically - I really didn't expect the National Socialist Party to be so brave!
In addition to Hitler, there were many more people who took advantage of this golden opportunity to escape, but it was the commandos who were the best at dispersing and escaping - they had been informed in advance that the use of bomb trucks was the most imperative move, and if it happened, they must escape!
Relying on Munich's almost driveable sewers, Hitler, Goering, Gyan and the commandos quickly fled and were soon picked up by others to reach the airport.
The civilian planes owned by the airport had almost been destroyed, but Ji'an dragged two more United Airlines planes out of the hangar like a trick and shouted: "Get on the plane!" Get on the plane! ”
Hitler understood that as long as he got on the plane and flew out for half an hour, he would be safe and sound, but when he looked back at Munich, which was still on fire and exploding, he hesitated again: he should never have walked away, this is irresponsibility to the party, to the revolutionary cause, and even more to the sacrifice of comrades!
"Adolf, what are you doing in a daze? Come up quickly! ”
"Nope! Herman, I feel like I should stay. ”
"Stay? You are crazy! Goering yelled, "If you make such a big scene, if you don't run away, you will definitely die." ”
"Did I watch my comrades fall in a pool of blood and run away? Is this the act of a coward? You just taught me that you must be a hero, even if it's only for a few minutes. If my death can be exchanged for the awakening of the German people, it will be worth it! ”
Adolf...... Adolph...... You can't go...... Can't go. Goering jumped out of the cockpit, but one of them fell to the ground unsteadily, he didn't care about his image, he rolled forward and threw himself at Hitler's feet, hugged the other party's thigh, and said with tears in his eyes, "Adolf, I beg you, come with me...... Come with me...... I can't watch you die! ”
Seeing that Hitler was indifferent, and seeing that Gian was beside him and did not speak, Goering stood up and shouted: "Gian, Adolf is stupid, you persuade him......"
"I'm ......" Ji'an touched his nose and suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Herman, don't be impulsive, in fact, the president has a letter to the chief." ”
"Letter? Don't look at it! It's not too late to get to Italy! ”
"Calais has a letter to me? Why didn't you say it earlier? Hitler wondered, "It's not appropriate to give it to me now...... will implicate him. ”
"No, the president specially explained that the letter can only be sent to you after you say it yourself."
"That'...... Show me. ”
Ji'an took out a neatly folded letter in his arms.
"Dear Adolf,
When you read this letter, it basically means the moment when the German Revolution will finally die due to the joint strangulation of internal and external reactionary forces, and I am extremely saddened by this, but I am deeply gratified that you are willing to choose to stay, what a fearless spirit of sacrifice! You are willing to wake up the sleeping German people with your own fire, and with such a spirit and such a leader, Germany will never decline.
…… From my personal standpoint, I would like you to flee the country and leave behind a useful body to make a comeback; However, judging from the cause of the Party, from the demands of the revolution, and from the need to invigorate the spirit of tens of millions of German people, the role and value that you can play by leaving behind will be greater, the impact of the revolutionary cause of your Party will be greater, the sympathy you will gain will be greater, and the comrades who have sacrificed their lives will also be greatly encouraged!
Although the reactionary forces are very strong, I dare to assert that this old order will not last long, it will definitely be broken by us, and that revolution, insurrection, selfless judgment and calmness will allow the cause of the Party to carry out self-nirvana and self-tempering, and I am convinced that the road to revolution is tortuous, but the final flower of victory will one day break through the ground and shine brightly, and the Party will inevitably be supported and loved by all the German people, which cannot be stopped by the Weimar government and the Wehrmacht, as a forerunner, Your name will be associated with the revolutionary cause and will be passed down from generation to generation!
The revolutionary cry from the bottom of our hearts will surely be the strongest voice in this trial full of prejudice and injustice, and thus awaken the German people who are bewildered and overwhelmed in confusion - this self-sacrifice will be a beacon for Germany to see again, a milestone on the road to the advance of the revolutionary cause!
I am convinced that you will write an immortal monument to this in your own spirit! History will always remember this moment! ”
The letter was unsigned and undated, but at first glance it was clear that it was written by Contini himself — there were several spelling mistakes in it, but it did not prevent it from being understood.
"The President told me that I would only be allowed to hand over this letter to you if you firmly stated that you would stay. Of course, he had to think about the revolutionary cause and the German nation, but above all, he had to think about your safety! Jian smiled awkwardly, "So I can't take it out early." ”
"Calais is good! That's really well written! Hitler laughed, "Sure enough, he is a good comrade who shares weal and woe with us and depends on life and death, and he is really a good comrade-in-arms who knows me well and has the same ideas. I've decided, I'm staying! ”
Ji An added: "The president hopes that you will take care of your health, he will find a way to dredge up the relationship so that you don't die for your crimes, but the life behind bars ......"
"It's okay, I can sit through the prison! I'm not even afraid of death, so what's there to be afraid of going to jail? ”
"You ......" Goering could only mumble to himself but could not speak.
Hitler walked up to the stunned Goering: "Hermann, take your comrades to Italy, sum up the lessons and continue to strengthen the party...... If I am unable to perform my duties in the future, you will be the head of the party; In the unlikely event that I am not alive, I hope that you will persevere in the revolution and report to me, to Westphal, and to all the other fallen comrades on the day of victory in the future. ”
"Woo-woo-woo...... Goering cried again, "Adolf, think again, think again...... Don't be impulsive......"
"Don't think about it, there are always people who sacrifice for the revolutionary cause, and I am duty-bound as the leader! Even I dare not sacrifice, how can we talk about letting the party, comrades, and the people who support the revolution sacrifice for the future of Germany? Hitler patted Goering on the shoulder, "Live well...... Sometimes life is more painful than death! ”
On the afternoon of January 9, 1924, two transport planes took Goering, Gyan and 11 commandos to Italy, and Hitler, escorted by two other commandos who volunteered to stay, surrendered to the Wehrmacht who were searching for the remnants.
"You don't have to look for it, I'm Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of the Provisional Revolutionary Government and leader of the German National Socialist Workers' Party!"
The officer checked the photo and found that it was not bad at all, so he said: "I thought you ran away, but you ended up in the net!" Boy, you wait to eat the gun. ”
Hitler smiled slightly: "Since I dare to come, I am not afraid of this ......"
"Take it away! This is an important ringleader, strictly regulated! ”
