Chapter 404: Monarchy

Many people may think that as the head of an empire, it must be a day to take care of everything, bury yourself in the pile of documents all day long, and sign out tenosynovitis.

In fact, as a supreme leader, Xu Jun's life is quite comfortable, after all, when many problems need him to make decisions in person, his subordinates have basically come up with mature solutions.

Now the most worry-free thing for him is the Ministry of the Interior, Himmler has some mental cleanliness in some aspects, has an almost pathological paranoia about order and rules, he has his own set of theories to explain what is called loyalty, as long as it is Xu Jun's order, whether he understands it before or not, he will be extremely resolute to implement it.

Himmler was fascinated by the theory of race and kinship, and although he did not have a higher education, this did not prevent him from using his own idea of vegetable roots to explain the problems of genetics. The man was also a mystic fanatic, setting up a chalice altar at SS headquarters, lighting a bonfire that lasted day and night, and a twelve-knight who claimed to be reviving the ancient Germanic traditions recorded in the Bible.

Xu Jun didn't have much thought about Himmler's secondary two illness, anyway, as long as it didn't waste public money or affect the work of the Ministry of the Interior, then it would be good for the Minister of the Interior to like it.

Nationalism is a double-edged sword, and it's time to put it back in its sheath. Especially because of Germany's victory in the war, there are already signs of an ideological shift from nationalism to extreme racism in the country, which is not a good thing for Xu Jun's Germany.

The linear thinking of the German people, combined with collectivism, often negated out their personal judgment, and the people worshipped authority and believed in the ideas propagated by the government. Although Hitler is dead, he has left an indelible mark in the hearts of the Germans. Mein Kampf has become a must-read book for the memory of the great leader, and although the content of the book is chaotic and contradictory, the Germans still regard it as a guide to thought.

Hostility to Jews has now become the norm in German society, and even moderate progressives cannot deny their personal antipathy towards Jews, after all, this people have done so many angry things in the past half century, and it can be said that most of the people who are shouting and beating them like rats in the street are caused by their own indulgence.

This people are closed to the outside world, almost isolated from normal society, well-organized and hierarchical, and they adhere to their own teachings and customs, unwilling to integrate into the society of a settled country. They like to operate in their own communities, and all Jews are seen as one by outsiders, so when some Jews commit evil deeds, it is seen as a common act of the group, and the whole nation is guilty of it.

At present, more than eighty percent of the Jews in Germany have been moved into ghettos, a small number have been imprisoned in concentration camps, and the rest have either been deported or are on the way to be deported.

Xu Jun was well aware that in the current situation, it would be unrealistic for Germany's Jewish policy to suddenly brake, or even to take a drastic turn, even if it was he, the head of the Reich, who ordered it. All he could do now was to stabilize the situation for the time being, not to worsen it, and then to liberate as many innocent people as possible and to try to weaken the impact of racism on society.

This is a time-consuming task that can only be done by using a frog stew in warm water to subtly and slowly change the thinking and perception of the German people. He left the problem of ideological propaganda to the experts Goebbels and Himmler to find a way to deal with it, and anyway, these two men could come up with a whole set of nonsense at will, and not only that, but they could always come up with a large pile of "historical materials" afterwards and drag out a group of experts to confirm their nonsense.

Xu Jun held a regular meeting of the headquarters every day and a cabinet meeting once a week, and the rest of the time was completely at his own disposal. However, Xu Jun chooses to deal with official documents in the office most of the time, and not everything needs to be handled by him personally, usually it is a report from some subordinate departments, informing him of what happened, and there are not many matters that really need his personal approval to solve.

"The planned visit to the weapons test site scheduled for next Wednesday has been cancelled and moved to this Saturday afternoon to prepare for the reception." Xu Jun signed a piece of stationery, then carefully folded the letter and put it in an envelope.

"Yes, my Führer. The preparations for the departure of the fleet have been completed, are your plans for the send-off ceremony still in order? Colonel Dougan took a form and scribbled on it.

"Next Tuesday?"

"Yes, my Führer."

"As planned, we have already publicized the whole world, and the sailing time cannot be changed." Xu Jun handed the envelope to Tysenhofen on the side, and the adjutant carefully scalded the fire paint on the seal.

"All the invitations to the Berlin Disabled Veterans Rally on Saturday night have been sent out, and the venue wants to know if you will be there on time to give a speech."

"Just tell them they just need to be ready for me to attend and you know how to get back to them." Xu Jun raised his hand and knocked on the table.

This kind of trivial activity is the most annoying compared to the official documents of the government, but he must not only participate, but also take it seriously with all his might, because this is the duty and mission of his country, which Hitler did back then, and won the favor of many German people.

So let's be an idol together, this is an era of charm, if you don't have first-class appearance, then you must at least have first-class eloquence, like Xu Jun, a rare species that has both, will undoubtedly be fanatically sought after by the people.

"Report, General Werler has arrived." The officer on duty reported at the door of his office.

"Let him wait a moment." Xu Jun ordered, and then turned back to check the heraldic steel seal on the fire paint.

"Send it out at once, and hand it over to the British ambassador, and ask him to pass it on to Prime Minister Chamberlain, and tell him that I support all the decisions of His Excellency the Prime Minister." Xu Jun handed the envelope to Tysenhofen.

George VI was indeed a charismatic monarch in the eyes of the British after the defeat of the British people, who became a figure in Shakespeare's tragedy, and the people believed that the king would be used as a scapegoat for the cabinet in battle, and that the politicians would use him to win the favor of the victors.

The British suffered heavy losses in the war, and of course it was impossible to let go of their hatred so quickly, this is a rebellious people in their bones, and only absolute force can bring them to their knees. Now I will cooperate with Germany so honestly, not because the Germans were too ruthless some time ago and almost broke their vertebrae, otherwise they would try to change to a Frenchman, and let you know how powerful this group of gentlemen is in minutes.

The original German plan was for George VI to abdicate and be replaced by a pro-German member of the royal family. The Germans also had a very solid selection of candidates, including the former King Edward VIII, the current Duke of Windsor, and George VI's cousin, a descendant of the Prince of Badenburg in Germany. Prince Mountbatten.

The abdication of the former was completely forced by the cabinet, and the young king's plight was unanimously sympathetic to the British government and the opposition, so if he re-ascended the throne, there should be no resistance from the people, and with the backing of Germany, the parliamentarians and the cabinet would not have the courage to oppose it.

It was not news that the king's thoughts were inclined towards Germany, and his American wife, in particular, was a fervent fan of the Third Reich, and Ribbentrop is said to know best how far he could.

As for Louis. Mountbatten, as to how he will fall into the hands of the Germans, the author will devote a chapter to it, and here is a.

This Lord Mountbatten was not yet as important to the government as he was in later generations, when he was a destroyer captain in the British Royal Navy, not because someone was deliberately suppressed, but because this Lord only had this level.

History proves that Mountbatten's boss was indeed very discerning, and wherever this glorious aristocratic officer went, it would become chaos, and he was like the British version of MacArthur, the only difference was that the latter could still fight, while he couldn't at all.

Mountbatten was the choice of Germany's reserve, and the lord had already shown his ambitions to the Germans, who were actually very dissatisfied with the attack and oppression of the German aristocracy by the British people and politicians because of their hatred of Germany during the First World War, and these people forced his father, Prince Louis, to give up the title of Prince of Badenburg, resulting in him, the former prince of Badenburg, becoming the lowest lord.

The admiral showed an unusual interest in inheriting the British throne, and even said that he would reinstate his family's German name and regard Germany as its closest ally if Germany was interested in making it happen.

However, Xu Jun will not believe a word of this lord's words, this nobleman's character has always had some problems, and he chose to push him out just to put more pressure on the British government, if he really sent this man to the throne, let alone the British, Xu Jun would not agree to be the first one.

Chamberlain spent a lot of effort to deal with the problems of George VI, as two prime ministers, he knew George VI very well, so he has always been full of loyalty to this wise monarch.

He made a request to Xu Jun that Britain was currently rebuilding order, and that the king was needed to calm the people. The British prime minister said that the king has realized his mistake and has a strong intention to make amends, hoping that Xu Jun can consider letting George VI stay in office and work together for the friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

The chancellor threw a conundrum at the head of Germany, and whatever choice Xu Jun makes, he will be responsible for all the consequences that may follow.

However, Xu Jun is not such an easy person to be stumped, he is familiar with British history, he can come up with a lot of examples to refer to, and finally he came up with a compromise solution, so he wrote this personal letter to Chamberlain.

In the letter, Xu Jun said that George VI can continue to serve as king, but he can no longer hold the power of the royal family as before, and the Duke of Windsor will be in charge of all court affairs as the regent of the United Kingdom, and once George VI has health problems, the throne will automatically be taken over by the Duke of Windsor. If the Duke of Windsor has no heirs, the descendants of George VI will be the first in line to the throne.

Xu Jun felt that his plan gave the British enough face, and he believed that Chamberlain should be satisfied with it.
