Chapter 65: The Night of the Long Knife
With his hands behind his back, Zhang Chengtian looked at Rose in front of him without saying a word.
"Forgive me, Führer." Rose lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"Forgive! You still know to ask me for forgiveness! Did you look for me when you took someone to kill Hindenburg?! Zhang Chengtian yelled a little out of control.
Zhang Chengtian is not a cruel person, he never thought of ascending to the throne through the means of ten thousand bones. Even if he knew that Hindenburg's influence could not be ignored, as a person who had crossed over from the peaceful years of the 21st century, the value of life in Zhang Chengtian's eyes was extremely heavy!
Killing Ludendorff was a helpless move because the situation had reached the point of life and death.
For Hindenburg, who has surrendered, Zhang Chengtian really can't be a killer.
For Zhang Chengtian's woman's benevolence, Ross, who has been with Zhang Chengtian for several years, understands it, which is why he cut first and then played. Sharing worries for the Führer is his own glory and duty in Ross's eyes. Since Zhang Chengtian can't make up his mind, let him do this kind of dirty work.
To the god in his mind, Rose replied reverently: "Führer, I know you don't want to get your hands dirty. But Hindenburg's influence was so great that many people still see him as a protector, even if he is outdated. ”
"So you killed him!" Zhang Chengtian looked at Ross with gloomy eyes and said, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Today, many people will accuse us of being a bunch of crazy people who will do anything to seize power! ”
"No, it's me!" Rose replied with a firm look in his eyes: "The social worker will clarify that I did everything from you." This is my personal action, it has nothing to do with the party, it has nothing to do with you! ”
In the face of the fanatical Ross, Zhang Chengtian was silent. He never imagined that he would be followed by such fanatical party members. In his opinion, the Hitler admirers in history, the SS who were loyal to Hitler, were so incredible. But now, all of this has gradually turned into his stuff. For a time-traveling otaku, this is a bit too dreamy.
I don't know how long I was silent, as if a century had passed, Zhang Chengtian patted Ross on the shoulder and said slowly: "There is no need to clarify this kind of thing, Hindenburg was shot by Rohm's stormtroopers, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Raising his head suddenly, Ross was moved to salute Zhang Chengtian and said, "Okay, Führer!" He knew that this was Zhang Chengtian's protection and love for him. The implication of Zhang Chengtian's words shows that he is very important to Ross.
Knowing that the Führer acquiesced in his actions and valued himself. Ross spoke more confidently about the next thing: "Führer, according to the confessions of the surrendered SA personnel, Rohm began the operation to preserve military power after the end of the last war. He has secretly built up a number of large depots of illegal weapons and ammunition in the area around Bavaria, as well as stockpiling a considerable amount of material. ”
Sure enough, Hitler's team was still very good at doing these things. After listening to the report, Zhang Chengtian nodded and said: "These materials are all delivered to the SS, the Wehrmacht is very closely watched by the League of Nations, and it is not easy to operate." ”
Zhang Chengtian did not mention Roma's execution, and Ross did not ask. However, both of them have a heart, and since Hindenburg has been eliminated, it is not too much to get rid of one more Roma.
After hesitating, Zhang Chengtian still took out a list that had been written a long time ago. It is filled with almost all the key members of Hitler's men. Goering the Fat, Goebbels the Short, Himmler the Thin....... A total of hundreds of people's names remain on this list.
Ross was not surprised when he took over the list, he knew that the Führer had long known who to get rid of, and that all that was missing was determination. Now that he has opened the door for the Führer, the next step should be a bloody storm. This is an inevitable sign of the rise of a new dynasty, and after tonight, the Socialist Workers' Party will exclude many dissidents and rivals. Germany, will usher in its gods!
.........
Rudolph. Hess, Hitler's designated representative of the leader, had taken refuge in a wooden hut on the outskirts of the city as early as daylight. For a whole day, he was so frightened that he didn't even go out of the house. But in the middle of the night, the SS men found him.
A tall Einsatzgruppen captain pulls a limp Hess out of the cabin. After carefully checking the photo in his hand, the captain waved his hand.
Next, Hess saw about 20 SS members in black uniforms quickly approaching. Some of them wore steel helmets, others wore floppy hats, and some carried submachine guns. In the same way, these people all wore a silver skull badge, symbolizing the badges of the Einsatzgruppen!
"Bulging." In the dark night, a short and rapid flash of fire broke the original silence of the night.
The same thing happened in apartment blocks, suburban cottages, and even office buildings.
As for the Wehrmacht, the representative of the Socialist Workers' Party explained the next day: "This is the Socialist Workers' Party cleaning up its own dirt, and it is the black sheep of Hitler's team, and it has nothing to do with the members of the Wehrmacht." ”
For this operation, the Socialist Workers' Party named it "Operation Long Knife Night" within the party. More than 400 people were killed during the Night of the Long Knives, including Field Marshal Hindenburg and several of his henchmen, Hitler, the leader of the Socialist Workers' Party, and more than 100 of his cronies, as well as more than 200 SA leaders.
Among them, Hitler, who originally made Zhang Chengtian extremely afraid, was executed so easily. The Einsatzgruppen executed Hitler along with Goering and other captured members without even any special treatment. Originally, a generation of heroes in history left in obscurity in this time and space, without even stirring up a trace of waves.
More than 5,000 members of the German Communist Party were also picked up in passing during the Night of the Long Knife. Although due to the close Soviet-German relations, the Communist Party in Germany did not receive much support from the Soviet-controlled Comintern. But the cautious Zhang Chengtian still chose to take the opportunity to solve these unstable factors, as he did in the original history.
After all, Zhang Chengtian, who relied on the advantage of crossing, did not want to change the original historical factors too much. For the factors that may affect the future in the early stage, Zhang Chengtian tries his best to restore the history.
The only thing that is different from history is that the historical Hitler arrested and massacred the Communists in Germany on the Night of the Long Knife. Zhang Chengtian chose to settle some reasons casually, expelled these German Communists, and "politely" sent them to the territory of the Soviet Union.
Although Zhang Chengtian did not expect these small favors to prevent Stalin from setting that huge "thunderstorm" plan in the future. But Chang still hoped that he would avoid any move that would affect Soviet-German relations. After all, he, like Hitler in history, needed a lot of time to strengthen the desperate Third Reich. The attitude of the USSR is too important......
