Hersmann and Chloe took Hitler back to their home in Charlottenburg, which is now a frequent meeting place for Berlin's military and political dignitaries. When Hersman and the others arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered on the table, and a dinner party was about to begin. Hersman's father and brother-in-law, Anthony. Falk (whom married Margaret in 1924 and bought a house in Charlottenburg) was chatting with a group of guests in the spacious and luxurious lobby.

Odeya and Margaret, mother and daughter, prepare Adolf in the kitchen. Mr. Hitler's favorite vegetable salad - Hitler was also a frequent visitor to the old Hersmann's house, and he had a very good relationship with the elder Hersmann, both of whom had several years of trench experience, and neither of them liked the Jewish capitalists, so they had a lot in common.

"Adolf, you've just arrived, Anthony is talking about Britain, so let's listen to it." Old Hersmann beckoned to Hitler enthusiastically, "When he finishes we will have dinner, and there will be very delicious salads, french fries, and vegetable soup, which Odeya himself has prepared." ”

"Oh, that's wonderful," Hitler sat down next to the elder Hersmann. "The delicious vegetarian food gives me a lot of energy."

"Anthony, how are the talks with the British?" Hersman took a cup of coffee from a servant with a tray and sat down with Anthony. Opposite to Falk.

"Napier is reluctant to transfer the technology of the Lion Engine, and that is their treasure. Rawls. Reuss was willing to design a high-horsepower, liquid-cooled engine for our fast transport aircraft, and also agreed to transfer some of the technology. However, I really don't think it's necessary to use the liquid-cooled engines of the British, the air-cooled engines from BMW and Siemens are what we need. ”

Anthony. Fokker was and Mercedes-Benz Richard. Benz went to England to talk about the introduction of liquid-cooled engine technology. Now Germany's air-cooled engines are doing very well – and BMW has taken the lead. It has obtained the patent of the star-type air-cooled engine, and successively launched three air-cooled engines with excellent performance, such as the BMW 101, BMW 103 and BMW 105 (of course, there is no one in history), and Siemens followed suit, and also launched two high-power air-cooled engines (Siemens has built air-cooled aviation engines in history, but it has not been very successful).

Driven by the civil aviation order and the Soviet-German joint development, BMW and Siemens AG have become the world's top two manufacturers of air-cooled aero engines. It completely overwhelmed Bristol in the United Kingdom, the land god in France, Rhone, and Pratt-Whitney in the United States.

But the German liquid-cooled engines are starting to lag behind!

This is because the air-cooled engine was mainly driven by the demand for transport aircraft during the interwar (the air-cooled engine is easy to maintain and can run stably for a long time, so it is naturally the engine preferred by the air transport industry), while the development of the liquid-cooled engine is a competition - the Schneider Cup Aviation Race.

The Schneider Cup Aviation Race is a speed race of seaplanes that takes part in the military of various countries. For the United States, Britain, France and Italy, four countries that consider themselves military powers, the Schneider Cup is a face-saving way to show their national strength. In order to save face, countries are racing to invest huge sums of money in the development of new engines with higher power. Since the aerodynamic shape of liquid-cooled engines is superior to that of air-cooled engines, the Schneider Cup is primarily driving the development of liquid-cooled engines.

And Germany, the defeated country, of course, could not participate in the Schneider Cup, because it could not participate in the Schneider Cup. And there is no need for the national air force. In addition, the demand for liquid-cooled engines in the air transport industry is low, so the development of liquid-cooled aero engines in Germany has come to a standstill.

By 1927, the British company Napier had introduced the Lion 7B engine with an output of 875 horsepower and 3,300 rpm. Italy's Fiat has come up with an AS.3 engine with an output of 1,000 horsepower. The American Pancard even designed an engine that could produce 1,200 horsepower.

Germany is already lagging far behind in this area. In order to catch up, the German Aeronautical Committee proposed that Fokker and Mercedes-Benz join forces to work with British aero engine manufacturers to introduce liquid-cooled engine technology. Juncker, Focker-Wolff and Albatross teamed up to go to Italy to seek opportunities for cooperation – of course. These collaborations are an opportunity for the Hursmann-controlled Stacy Agency to steal foreign technology!

"Fokker if you don't need it. The opportunity can be given to Juncker. Hersman laughed. Dr. Junkers has a nose in Italy, Fiat is unwilling to cooperate, and the Italians are very ambitious! ”

Under the leadership of the wise leader Benito Mussolini, Italy has also ushered in an economic take-off in recent years. Although the overall strength cannot be compared with Britain, France and Germany, the three old European industrial powers. But in the field of shipbuilding and aviation, the Italians have already caught up with the advanced level of the world. The famous Italian Fiat company has developed rapidly by taking advantage of the fascist east wind, and is now the world's most complete arms manufacturer. From machine guns, cars, and tanks to airplanes soaring through the sky. And an engine plant was opened. It is still air-cooled and liquid-cooled, and it is the only one in the world.

"That's Fiat's loss, they have too many products, but each one is not strong enough." Anthony. Fokker said, "If you can do a liquid-cooled engine with Dr. Junkers." At least it is possible to stay ahead in this area. But we at Fokker are not going to give up the opportunity to enter the liquid-cooled engine field to our competitor Junkers! ”

"Alas, Anthony, your words make me think of European countries." Hersman sighed, "If you don't count the Soviet Union, every European country is a big company that does everything, but it's not strong enough, and they can't cooperate with each other." In the face of the two behemoths of the United States and the Soviet Union, if we European countries cannot unite again, the future will probably not be too good. ”

"The collapse of the mark in 1923, the franc crisis of '23-'26, and the current pound sterling all bode well for the future of our Europe. But we Europeans do not know how to unite, and we are fighting each other vigorously, making the Americans and Russians laugh at each other. Val T. Rathenau was also a regular visitor to the Hersmann family, and he was now a member of the Industrial Promotion Council, representing the German electrical industry (i.e., power generation, transmission, etc.), and was ambassador to Rome from 1925 to 1927.

"So we should call for European unity," Hersmann shook his coffee cup in his hand, "Isn't Chancellor Stresemann advocating Franco-German rapprochement?" He also won the Nobel Prize for this, so why don't we set the tone higher? ”

Stresemann's tenure as chancellor is much longer than in history. Although the opposition Social Democrats also accused him of being involved in the Munich incident. But the "center-right coalition" controls more than two-thirds of the seats in parliament and has the support of the military, which is difficult to shake.

And Stresemann, who was chancellor, was also the same as in history (historically as foreign minister), pushing for Franco-German rapprochement. In 1925, the Rhine Security Pact was signed with France to guarantee the status quo of the border between the two countries (thus Germany promised to abandon Alsace-Lorraine forever), and then at the Loga Conference, without offending the Soviet Union (refusing to join the anti-Soviet coalition), it joined the League of Nations and later gained permanent membership.

By 1926, Franco-German relations had eased further. Stresemann and Briand held secret talks in the small French town of Tuiary near Geneva. The Tuvari Agreement was reached, which stipulated that France promised to occupy the Rhine, return the Saar to Germany, and remove military control over Germany, while Germany agreed to pay France a reparation of 50 million pounds to alleviate France's currency crisis. Although this agreement was not implemented in the end because of the coming to power of the French right-wing Pai. However, relations between France and Germany have improved considerably.

However, Hitler and the Nazi Party were very opposed to such an improvement, and he immediately asked. "A higher tone? Is there room for further reconciliation between us and France? ”

"Adolf, I'm rapping on a high note, you're better at this kind of thing than me, right?" Hersman said.

Cal. Haushofer, who was also a guest today, asked Hersmann, "Ludwig, how are you going to sing high?" ”

"European Union!" Hersmann pondered, "A united, integrated Europe!" United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland...... All these European powers are no longer hostile to each other, but united in the interests of Europe and the peace of the world. ”

"Is this possible?" Hitler asked in a tone of extreme suspicion.

"It's not possible," Hersman said, "but it's necessary, because we are facing a war in Europe!" A currency war! ”

"The mark had already collapsed once in 1923," he said in a solemn tone, and the franc had fallen sharply from 1923 to 1926, and now it was the turn of the pound!" Moreover, the new mark is pegged to the pound. If the pound collapses, the new mark will collapse again...... In this way, the most economically powerful countries in Europe, Britain, Germany and France, were all knocked to the ground by the United States, and it didn't take a single shot! So we Europeans must now unite and defend our currency, defend our economy! Even if we can't do it now, we should speak out loud and show the way forward for Europe in the dark! ”
