"Prime Minister?" Lieutenant General Blomburg glanced at Major General Schleicher, and in his mind, this "political general" was probably already aiming at ********.

Hersmann also looked at Schleicher, although he had been recommending Hitler to the "big brother", he also knew that Schleicher himself was very interested in the position of chancellor.

In fact, when it comes to the ability to govern the country, Schleicher was no worse than Hitler. The latter had no experience in governance, and it was entirely the National Socialism inherent in Germany that worked miracles when they came to power – Liszt and Bismarck had already shown the way out for Germany in the Great Depression. Everyone in the politicians at that time knew how to save Germany, but no one could carry out the line of Liszt and Bismarck, except for Hitler and the Nazi Party, which followed the line of the middle and lower classes.

Moreover, at that time, no one could deny the fundamental fact that the German National Socialist Workers' Party was a socialist workers' party, a party representing the interests of the broadest working people in Germany, and this was also the basis on which Hitler's Nazi Party could come to power!

Schleicher or Hersmann were members of the Junker elite, representing the interests of officers, aristocrats, and capitalists – the pro-aristocratic positions of the now ruling President Hindenburg and the Stresemann cabinet were very distinct. After the German economy improved in 1926, President Hindenburg and the Stresemann cabinet also paid 3 billion marks in compensation to the Kaiser and the nobles who had been in exile because of the November Revolution!

Therefore, if Schleicher and Hersmann relied on the support of the Junker aristocracy and capitalists to become chancellors, they would at best become fascists, and would never be able to achieve national socialism. Without National Socialism, the cohesion of the Third Reich would probably not be much stronger than that of the Second Reich.

So the coming to power of Hitler and the Nazi Party was necessary, but how long did Hitler stay in power. It's another story.

"Nazi Party!" Schleicher was silent for a long time before finally nodding, "The only option for the time being is the Nazi Party, so we must nurture them...... This is also what is needed to contain the Bolshevik Party! But Adolf. Whether Mr. Hitler could become the future chancellor will need to be carefully considered. ”

The German Bolshevik Party, under the leadership of Thälmann, changed its previous path of rebellion to power and began to follow the line of legal struggle. He also participated in the 1927 parliamentary elections, but did not win much. At this time, the Weimar Republic was much more politically stable after the resignation of President Albert. The Stresemann cabinet served a full four-year term and was re-elected in 1927.

As the main opposition parties, the SPD, the Bolshevik Party and the Nazi Party did not do well in the 1927 elections. But the impending economic crisis will certainly give the three opposition parties a good opportunity to grow stronger.

As for who of the three opposition parties can become the ruling party, it depends on who the Junkers and the Army support.

The Bolshevik Party and the SPD were both regarded by the Junckers as "November sinners" because of their anti-war stance in 1918, so the Nazi Party was the only option.

……

In mid-July of the 1928 year. The Rome Conference took place as scheduled, and as Hersmann had expected, it did not make any progress on the "European Union" or the "European Bank" issue.

Although during the Rome meeting, the Bank of England was under extreme pressure due to the aggressive sell-off of the British pound by the Bank of France, and at one point threatened to abandon the gold standard (meaning that the pound and gold are pegged at a fixed price).

However, Britain did not choose to form a European bank with Germany, the Baltic Republics, Austria, etc., because of the opposition of France and the United States, most European countries had doubts about European banks, and only Germany, the Baltic Republic, and Austria explicitly expressed their support. And Britain itself is afraid that the "Quad European Bank" and the "Quad Monetary Union" will become a prelude to the Anglo-German alliance. As a result, Britain was involved in the conflict between Germany and France and Poland, and became a tool for Germany's development and growth.

So at the Rome Conference. British Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill did not insist on any more "European banks".

Of course, the reason why the British retreated on the issue of "European banks" was not entirely because they were afraid of being dragged into the water by Germany to fight the Second World War together. There is also a factor in this that the United States has taken the initiative to woo -- the "euro" is a big problem for the US dollar at all times.

In order to prevent the emergence of the "euro", the US delegate to the Rome Conference, senior adviser to the President of the United States and senior adviser to the Bank of France, Erwin Murphy. Younger proposed a "Younger Plan" to help Britain stabilize the pound exchange rate with American loans.

This option is very favourable for the UK. The U.S. government will provide large long-term low-interest loans to the United Kingdom to help stabilize the exchange rate. In exchange, the British government agreed to negotiate with Germany to revise the Keynes Plan with the French government - and it is estimated that the British government now finds that the "in-kind compensation system" of the Keynes Plan is very unfavorable to British manufacturing.

"It's not that easy to revise the Keynesian Plan, do they think it's 1923?" Hersmann heard about the final results of the "Rome Conference" on a giant seaplane about to take off.

This seaplane is a new product launched by Dornier - Dornier Do-X. This is the largest flying machine in the world today. It symbolizes the revival and strength of the German Empire.

Historically, Dornier introduced this massive flying machine with a net weight of 40 tons (more robust than the historic Do-X) in July 1929. In this time and space, thanks to the expansion of the scale of Soviet-German cooperation, the boss of the Dornier company, Claude . Dornier fulfilled his dream more than a year ahead of schedule.

And this Do-X aircraft has much more power than the one in history. It is powered by 12 (2 in parallel) Siemens "Neptune" star engines, which are the most powerful production aero engines in Germany today with 880 hp. The simultaneous rotation of 12 Neptune engines can produce a huge kinetic energy of 10,560 horsepower, enough to propel a huge flying object with a total take-off weight of 48.2 tons to fly at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

The fate of this Do-X seaplane is also different from history. Because it was introduced more than a year earlier than in history and had a more thrust engine, the fuselage was built stronger (it also weighed three tons) and the aircraft performed more reliably.

So the Do-X has now won a lot of orders, with Lufthansa buying 10 for the Atlantic and Mediterranean routes, and the Soviet Union, Italy and Japan each buying 1 for research. Not only is it a shame to build the world's largest aircraft, but the military use of this Do-X aircraft is also worth exploring - this aircraft can stay in the air for long periods of time, and it seems good to use it for anti-submarine purposes. And it can also carry 80 heavily armed soldiers and can be used as a transport aircraft. In addition, the aircraft may be equipped with several 75 mm or 105 mm cannons to bombard ground and sea targets......

And the Do-X that Hersman is riding in now is the one sold to Japan. Now its interior is furnished like a luxury plane, and it is said that it was intended for the emperor of Japan to sit on it first.

"Ludwig, what do you think we can do? Is it necessary to use military force against the Entente? "Carl. Haushofer was the nominal head of the delegation to Japan because it was he who was the "pro-Japanese" German who was invited.

From 1908 to 1910, he was a professor of artillery at the Japanese Army University and made friends with many Japanese soldiers. And he also wrote two books on Japan and the Pacific, believing that Japan had the potential to be a worthy ally of Germany.

Hersmann also holds the same view, which is why he is the same as Karl. Haushofer traveled to the Far East together.

"There is no need for military force at the moment." "The current crisis is a financial and economic problem...... If the current British finance minister was Keynes, he would certainly not have proposed negotiations to revise the plan. Unfortunately, Churchill was not an expert in finance and finance, and it was a complete fool to make him Minister of Finance. ”

"Why?"

Hersman smiled coldly: "Now the financial market in Europe is very fragile, and funds are attracted by the United States. Germany is again the only bright spot in Europe...... The attractiveness of the German economy was based on the Keynesian Plan and Soviet-German cooperation. If the Keynesian Plan needs to be significantly revised, then the German economy will be at least half less attractive for money.

When the time comes, there will be a massive outflow of money out of Germany! And these flows cannot be to the United Kingdom - the very fact that Britain is receiving support from the United States to stabilize the pound has shown that Britain simply cannot maintain such a high exchange rate, which makes the pound unattractive to investors. So the money flows back from Europe, to the United States! And the contraction of the German economy due to lack of funds will soon spread to the United Kingdom, and the crisis of the pound will become even worse! ”

Just in the case of Hersman and Carl. As Haushofer spoke, 12 powerful Siemens "Neptune" engines began to roar loudly. With the turn of the propeller, the huge plane, a symbol of Germany's military and scientific prowess, began to glide rapidly over Lake Geneva and then soared into French airspace – it would fly at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour over French airspace, across the Atlantic, and toward the east coast of the United States. It then flew along the coast of the Caribbean Sea, then over the airspace of northern Mexico, and finally across the Pacific Ocean to Japan......
