Chapter 64: Tyrant Chrysanthemum
Chrissy's 300-man SA Brigade was at the gate of the Hindenburg manor. They watched as Rohm led his men into the main building of the manor, and watched as the Wehrmacht loyal to Hindenburg launched a counteroffensive in the annex. During the entire process, Krish did not give orders to the SA to support Rohm. He just took people to watch and wait for a result.
Chlich's calculation was simple, if the Hindenburg men won, he would defect to Hindenburg. In this way, the remaining nearly 10,000 stormtroopers will become his subordinates. Although these stormtroopers are not very combative, they are also a coveted force.
If Rohm wins, he won't have to bear any responsibility. After all, Rohm did not ask him to support the battle in the order he gave him. And as a member of the Roma faction, he will definitely get no less benefits in the future.
It didn't take long for Chrissy to see the Wehrmacht soldiers rushing into the main building walking out in disgrace. Their hands were empty, without any weapons.
Rohm wins! This came as a bit of a surprise to Chrissy. Originally, when he saw the Wehrmacht loyal to Hindenburg storming the main building, Klich had already concluded the defeat of Röhm. But it seems that Rohm should have seized Hindenburg at this last moment and turned the situation around.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to defect to Hindenburg, and Chrisch was secretly glad to have arrived.
Finally, just as Chrissy turned around and prepared to order the troops into the manor to join Rûm. In his spare eye, he saw a black army in the distance. Among them were the figures of the SS in black uniforms, the figures of the Wehrmacht in gray uniforms, and even the figures of green armored vehicles.
In the manor, the stormtroopers who had just won were already cheering. They have just worked hard and won over strong opponents.
Outside the manor, Chrissy's team dropped their weapons and raised their hands. They have just witnessed a history of twists and turns in the plot.

After learning about the safety of the front line, Zhang Chengtian, who likes to be in the limelight, immediately got into his custom-built Mercedes-Benz 770K six-wheeled bulletproof sedan and rushed to the Hindenburg manor.
Of course, Zhang Chengtian's purpose is not just to simply wash Hindenburg and show off. According to the information just sent by the Gestapo, there is almost a division of troops loyal to Hindenburg, which will carry out a coup d'état in one hour. The main purpose of Zhang Chengtian's trip is to resolve this crisis.
"Good brother! I'm finally seeing you again. These were the first words that Zhang Chengtian said when he saw Hindenburg, who was wearing an old Wehrmacht uniform and a large iron cross.
Subsequently, a group of SS and Wehrmacht officers and soldiers watched Zhang Chengtian's right elbow hooked Hindenburg's neck, showing a hearty look.
Cheerful fart! This was the unanimous feeling of all the officers and men present. A young man in his 20s, with the neck of an 80-year-old man exposed, is this trying to suffocate the neck of the owner Hindenburg?!
"Order your men to stop rioting. Otherwise, I'll blow up your chrysanthemum. Zhang Chengtian didn't know where to take out a fighting thorn and dangle it: "I'm serious." ”
After an SS lieutenant colonel translated the meaning of "violent chrysanthemum" for everyone present. The whole manor was silent.
Many of the Wehrmacht troops brought by Rommel were even more dumbfounded.
Originally, Hindenburg also planned to use the strength of the Wehrmacht, which was close to a division, to negotiate the terms with the leaders of the other side. But now, Hindenburg's heart is only a piece of sorrow.
This leader, who had been repeatedly propagandized by the Socialist Workers' Party, and the genius who single-handedly formed the SS, found his key point at the very first moment when he opposed him.
He was of aristocratic origin and received an education in high etiquette from an early age. He can die with righteousness and heroism, but he can never endure violence.... Chrysanthemum's insult.
And the unreasonable young man in front of him didn't even ask his conditions, and as soon as he came up, he shook a thick fighting thorn, threatening himself without grace.
All this has made the 80-year-old Hindenburg collapse his psychological defense line in an instant.
"Knowing that I fell into your hands, they would definitely not attack." Hindenburg took a deep breath and struggled to maintain his composure.
"How dare they attack!?" Zhang Chengtian arrogantly brandished a fighting stab and said, "Let them try!" ”
Hindenburg shook his head and said, "Although I fell into your hands, there is still a division of elite forces behind me. It won't be a good choice to go head-to-head with them. ”
"I don't need you to teach me!" Zhang Chengtian shouted angrily.
Ignoring Chang's reaction, Hindenburg continued: "Either you let me go. I will order the disbandment of the two regiments under my command and the incorporation of them into your descendants, so as to replenish your strength. Otherwise, you'd better kill me."
Several SS officers looked at each other and could not help but admire Hindenburg a little.
In such an environment, he adopted an attitude of wooing Zhang Chengtian and took the initiative to show goodwill. Ceded part of the benefits to Zhang Chengtian's personal forces instead of the Wehrmacht forces, and won Zhang Chengtian's personal support. At the same time, he expressed his attitude strongly and emphasized the bottom line of concessions.
The instantaneous reaction speed and coping power alone are worthy of the title of Hindenburg's "God of Protectors". Now, while perfectly resolving the crisis, he can also strengthen his own power, which is a very favorable ending for Zhang Chengtian. After all, it was very dangerous to really exchange fire with the Wehrmacht loyal to Hindenburg.
But... In Zhang Chengtian's view, the Wehrmacht SS will be its own people in the future, and which side it will be assigned to is not to strengthen its own power. Play tough for me? What Lao Tzu is most unaccustomed to is the hardliners who work against him.
"Kill you?" Zhang Chengtian shook his head quickly and said: "I hate killing, I only like tyrant chrysanthemum!" ”
Hindenburg was angry with Zhang Chengtian's rogue methods and had nothing to say. He has seen many people, high-ranking officials who want to save face, nobles who pay attention to appearance, and officers who are resolute and straightforward, but he has never seen a shameless person like Zhang Chengtian. Does this guy really have the upright and rigid blood of the Germans in his veins? As a dignified Wehrmacht lieutenant general, a well-known young hero in Germany, doesn't this guy even have a sense of identity and honor?
"Hurry!" Zhang Chengtian stabbed Hindenburg's pants in the center of the trousers with a fighting stab: "The people who call you accept the reorganization of the Wehrmacht, and all of them will be dismantled and incorporated into various companies of the Wehrmacht." ”
Protested by dignity and pride, and feared by Chrysanthemum, Hindenburg abandoned useless resistance and called the troops loyal to him, ordering them to accept the reorganization of the Wehrmacht.
"Why didn't you choose to expand your power?" Hindenburg finally asked Zhang Chengtian lightly.
Zhang Chengtian replied with a smile: "I have always worked hard to expand Germany's power. ”
"Good." Leaving these words, Hindenburg slowly turned and left.
watched this old man, who could have been president in history, completely defeated by himself. Zhang Chengtian didn't know whether to be happy or sad for him. He only knows that he can't stop on this road!
.........
Late at night, Ross was followed by two SS soldiers with new steel helmets and broke into the room where Hindenburg was temporarily under house arrest.
"Is this Reinhardt's order?" Hindenburg asked without looking back.
"No, it's my personal idea. Keeping you is a woe after all, and the Führer is unwilling to do it, so I will do the dirty work for him. Ross answered Hindenburg's question without any emotion.
"Why did you do this for him? Also for the future of Germany? Hindenburg turned and looked Ross in the eye.
Ross smiled: "You can understand this, but my main purpose is for the smooth rise of the Führer. I have a hunch that the Führer will become the god of the future of Germany. And it is my privilege to help the Führer become a god! ”
"There's nothing more wonderful than witnessing and participating in the birth of a god, isn't it?" Rose said with a feverish gaze.
Hindenburg shook his head and sighed, "You're a madman. ”
Rose smiled: "That madman gives the order now, fire!" ”
"Tubu! Sudden Sudden Rush! The two SS soldiers immediately raised their new submachine guns and opened fire. An elderly man was brutally shot and killed and lay in a pool of blood.
The next day, a newspaper published by the Social Worker Newspaper attributed Hindenburg's death to being shot by stormtroopers on the estate.
