Chapter 109: The Nazi Party is Coming

Coming out of the General Staff at KΓΆnigplatz, Hersmann drove back to the new headquarters of the Military Intelligence Service, a villa in the Charlottenburg district. The headquarters of the Economic Cooperation Company and the new homes of Hersmann and Chloe also moved to the mansion-lined Charlottenburg district, each occupying a large house with a large garden and fountain - many of these mansions, which had belonged to the dynastic dignitaries because of the revolution, were now sold at low prices, because their owners were anxious to flee the land of Germany.

So Hersman bought three large houses at a relatively low price. This makes it easier for him to commute to work and keeps it secret. The Military Intelligence Service and the Economic Promotion Corporation have too many secrets to work in a place with too much traffic.

Under Hersman's leadership, the Military Intelligence Service has become a very mysterious agency, somewhat similar to Stasi. But MI wasn't huge, if not Stasi.

There are several groups under the Military Intelligence Division, namely the Military Group, the Political Group, the Economic Group, the Scientific Group, the German Group, the Baltic Group, the Logistics Group and the Personnel Group, plus the Office of the Chief of the Division of Hersmann and the Office of the Deputy Director of Kesselring (the chief and deputy director of the Military Intelligence Division is the chief and deputy director of the Stasi Division, and the two alternately sit in Berlin and Miuta), forming a military intelligence department similar to the headquarters of a large company.

The reason why MI is called "corporate headquarters" is that the five operational groups β€” Military, Political, Scientific, German, Economic and Baltic β€” have only analytical and leadership functions and are not directly engaged in espionage and secret police activities, nor are they directly involved in business activities.

Directly engaged in espionage and business activities under these five business groups are the Stasi Agency and the Economic Promotion Company. They are like two branches under the head office, each engaged in different main business.

The main activities of the Economic Promotion Company are Russian-German trade (now there is also Hungarian-German trade) and the economic development of Courland. Stasi's main business is, of course, secret police and espionage work. And the economic promotion company and Stasi are not unrelated, and they need to cooperate with each other in many ways. One of the functions of the "head office" of the Military Intelligence Service is to direct the covert cooperation between the Economic Promotion Corporation and the Stasi organs in all necessary areas.

The important information obtained by the Economic Cooperation Corporation and the Stasi Agency is sent to the five relevant operational groups of the Military Intelligence Service for analysis and study. Then it turned into reports and sent to Hersman's desk.

On the third day of Hersmann's return to Berlin from Russia, a report submitted by Rosenberg, head of the political group, immediately caught his eye.

"German Workers' Party?" Hersmann looked at Rosenberg. "Alfred, why do you want to make a separate report for such a small party with only a few dozen members?"

The political group of the Military Intelligence Service is a very special department, responsible for political issues that do not seem to have anything to do with military intelligence, and it is not a foreign political issue, but a German political issue! In addition, the arrest and surveillance of the activities of the Bolsheviks was not the responsibility of the political group, but of the German group. The political group is only in charge of the legitimate political parties, not the illegal rebels.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Alfred. Rosenberg was very excited, "This German Workers' Party represents a trend!" It is a trend that has not been seen in the previous workers' movement. ”

"What's the trend?"

"Awaken! A part of the workers is beginning to wake up and spontaneously fight against the Marxists in the trade unions! As if he had discovered a new continent, Rosenberg excitedly said, "They finally realized that it was not the capitalists who brought them the greatest suffering and harm, but the enemies of the state...... The unequal treaties imposed on us by the Entente, and the Social Democrats, the Independent Social Democrats and the Bolshevik Party, who waged the revolution behind the backs of the fighters and made us lose the war! ”

There is nothing surprising in this that in every colonial or semi-colonial country there is an anti-imperialist and anti-colonial workers' movement. During this time, China's May Fourth Movement was in full swing! Compared to China's grievances at the Paris Peace Conference, Germany fell from the clouds to hell overnight.

And the catastrophe of the humiliating defeat to Germany has now been passed on to the working class! All kinds of restrictions and blows on German industry will eventually turn into terrible unemployment and starvation. The weakening of the German state will also deprive workers of their original welfare. Inflation will also wipe out the savings that workers have saved to save money.

When the machines of the factories were smashed by the soldiers of the Entente, when the resources and wealth of Germany were loaded onto trains by the Entente and transported to France and Belgium. And what other workers would consider their enemies to be German fighters and entrepreneurs?

"In a country that has been humiliated and oppressed, the workers' movement is combined with nationalism, which is very common in both colonial and semi-colonial countries." Hersman's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, as if considering something. "But the Social Democrats, the Independent Social Democrats and the Bolshevik Party of Germany have the original sin on this issue!"

Rosenberg exclaimed: "Yes, the Socialist Party in Germany and the Bolshevik Party are not the same as those in Hungary!" They had to take responsibility for the defeat of Germany, so they had no way to combine with nationalism!

They will only be anti-war, anti-war, anti-war! Go like a dog to please the enemy, and then go back to persecuting the German soldiers! They will be abandoned by the German people and become sinners of the country! ”

Of course, there were many reasons for Germany's defeat, and the main responsibility did not lie with the SPD, the Independent SPD, and the Bolshevik Party, which would have been suppressed if it had not been for the Kaiser's brain-deadness. But now that the SPD is the ruling party, and they have to sign the Treaty of Versailles, this black pot is a backdrop.

The Spartacists, the predecessor of the Bolshevik Party, were the most resolute anti-war factions during the war, and now the anti-war has succeeded, but the German people are facing an even greater disaster! It is difficult to explain the position clearly.

Worse still, they did not stand up as resolutely as the Hungarian Bolshevik Party to lead the people against the Entente – the uprisings of the Bolshevik Party were all aimed at opposing the German bourgeoisie. The locations are all in Bavaria, Hamburg and Berlin, far from France. If they could start an uprising against the Allies in the demilitarized zone of the Rhine or in the Saarland, which was about to be occupied by France, then they would have carried the banner of nationalism.

It's a pity that the German Bolshevik Party has always been a bad move! Let the banner of nationalism fall into the hands of the German National Socialist Workers' Party, which developed from this German workers' party, and put itself in opposition to nationalism.

"The workers' movement in Germany was divided, and a National Socialist workers......' movement began to emerge," Hersmann hesitated. According to the Weimar Constitution, active military personnel are not allowed to openly join a political party, let alone lead one. If Hersmann wanted to lead the National Socialist workers' movement, he would have to resign from the military.

But Hersmann's present position was very important for Germany's secret preparations! If he resigns from the military, then Germany's preparations for war will definitely suffer. In the future, even if he becomes Chancellor, he will go to war without making good preparations, just like Hitler.

Moreover, Hersmann is not the same as Hitler! He is not the kind of big **** who has spent years in the trenches in hell, fighting for the German nation, and finally has nothing. He was a Junker elite who had made a fortune in trade with Soviet Russia, became a millionaire, and was ready to marry a super-rich countess. People like him were equally original sin for the German workers of the 1920s!

"We have to join in!" Hersman dismissed the idea of leading the movement himself, as he was needed more by MIA and Stasi. "Send people to join this German Workers' Party and other similar parties...... We need to keep track of what they're going on! Alfred, you know politics, and you are directly responsible for this matter, and you will report it to me at any time. ”
