Chapter XXVI
Planck warmly welcomed Hitler's visit, Planck was a strong man, although the death of his son made him sad, but how could there be immortals on the battlefield, it can only be said that luck is not good, no wonder who is alone.
Hitler and Planck chatted a few words, and Thea jumped up and down to ask Planck to do experiments, so that without saying a few words, Planck went to the next room to accompany Thea to do experiments, and chatted with Hitler across a wall.
In this case, Hitler had no choice but to get up and take his leave.
Originally, Planck tried his best to invite Hitler to stay for dinner, but Hitler couldn't bear to disturb them when he saw that they were so focused on experiments, so Hitler made an excuse: "I'll nag you again another day when I'm free, but I still have the families of several comrades-in-arms to visit, and I really don't have time today." ”
It was on this ground that Planck agreed to Hitler's departure, and what Hitler told him was not an excuse, because he really had to visit the families of his other comrades-in-arms in Berlin.
After leaving Planck, Hitler went to the University of Berlin in the center of the city to have a look, but it was a holiday at this time, and there were not many students inside, which made Hitler slightly disappointed. However, Hitler still felt a strong learning atmosphere, which is worthy of being ranked first in the world.
Before World War II, there was no other country in Germany to compare with the state of education at that time, and a third of the Nobel laureates had studied or taught at a German university.
The University of Berlin, the world's first, was founded by Humboldt, the director of culture and education of the German Ministry of the Interior, is the mother of modern universities, before Humboldt founded the University of Berlin, universities in Europe and the United States are following the tradition of monastic education, to train teachers, public officials or aristocrats, less emphasis on research, after the establishment of the University of Berlin, has become the object of imitation by universities in various countries.
We are familiar with Einstein, Planck, von Neumann (the father of computers), Hegel have all taught here, as well as Heine, Bismarck, Hertz, Born and other famous figures in history have studied at the University of Berlin, Chinese physicist Wang Ganchang, the famous scholar Chen Yinke, and the old president of the Central University Luo Jialun also studied at the University of Berlin, and even Premier Zhou Enlai has also studied at the University of Berlin. Along with Premier Zhou Enlai, there was also Wen Pengjiu (the first consul general of New China in Geneva and the uncle of Premier Wen Jiabao).
In particular, the 20s of the 20th century was the golden age of the University of Berlin, at this time the University of Berlin and the University of Göttingen were the academic centers of the whole of Europe and the world, and these figures mentioned above were also active at the University of Berlin in the 20s.
One day, our Prime Minister Zhou Enlai was working on campus, and an old man fell on the side of the road, and he went to help him up and take a look, rub, Einstein!
Hitler was fortunate enough to be able to meet the University of Berlin at its most glorious period, not the University of Berlin that later experienced the war and division.
As for the world's second-ranked university is the University of Göttingen, which was also the academic center of the world at that time, but compared with the comprehensive development of the University of Berlin, the trump card field of the University of Göttingen is only mathematics, the mathematics major of the University of Göttingen was pioneered by Gauss, and in the 19th century, Hilbert and Klein attracted a large number of mathematicians to Göttingen, so that the German Göttingen School of Mathematics entered its heyday. By the beginning of the 20th century, Göttingen had become the undisputed center of world mathematics and the mecca of mecca. At that time, the loudest slogan among mathematics students all over the world was "Pack your backpack and go to Göttingen".
Who are Hilbert and Klein? Arguably the strongest mathematician of the 20th century after Poincaré's death, Hilbert is known as the uncrowned king of mathematics and can be compared to Gauss Newton's figure. Coupled with the queen of mathematics, the University of Göttingen was indeed full of talent.
These mathematicians are ranked in the top ten in the 20th century mathematician rankings, the mathematical genius Chen Shiingshen of the Republic of China is ranked 31, the famous figure Hua Luogeng is in the 90th, and the others are all in the hundreds and thousands.
This period was the most brilliant period when German universities were at the top of the world's academic circles. Students from Europe and the United States are proud to study in Germany, especially the University of Göttingen and the University of Berlin. At that time, if a scholar did not have studied in Germany, he or she was considered to have not received complete academic training.
Before the end of World War II in 1945, a total of 148 Nobel Prizes were awarded, of which almost 50 were awarded to Germans, and half of the Chemistry Prizes were awarded to Germans.
The reason why the University of Berlin and the University of Göttingen are cows is not because of their architecture or anything, the most important thing is "people", Hitler wanted to meet some famous scholars, but the University of Berlin was deserted during the holidays, and only occasionally saw a few security guards and fast-walking students. Disillusioned, Hitler also quickened his pace and left the University of Berlin to go to the homes of two other fallen comrades.
The families of the other two sacrificed comrades-in-arms were all working class, and Hitler chatted with them, but fortunately, these family members had already learned the news of their relatives' death in the war, and they were not as sad as they were at the beginning, but looking at the haggard faces of these relatives, Hitler felt sad and regretful, and regretted that he did not protect his soldiers well.
For these family members, Hitler left them a thousand marks, this thousand marks is a huge amount of money, the family members naturally did not dare to accept it, Hitler had to make up a white lie, saying that the money was awarded to them by the army, although these family members did not believe that the army was generous, but Hitler threw down the money and left, and the family members wanted to return it to him.
These are what they deserve.
raised a child for eighteen years, and once died for the country.
And the German government army gave these families only 300 marks, what can 300 marks buy? I can't even buy the cheapest car (equivalent to 30,000 yuan in later generations).
…………
In addition to Hitler, Weikrich and all eight of them returned to the army, only Hitler stayed in the Sechelinhof Palace, reading books and fishing on weekdays, playing with Elanie, and teaching Victor's two sons who stayed at home military knowledge, if Victor went to the front line to command the battle, Hitler would also go with him and give advice to Victor.
For such a situation, Hitler can not say that he likes or hates it, and the military takes obedience to orders as his duty, and now his status is too low, and many things are involuntary. Since Victor wants him to do this, he has to do it.
During this period, Hitler also took his sister Paula, his cousin Angela, and his aunt Johanna to visit tourist attractions near Berlin. These three are Hitler's only relatives now, and Hitler decided to take good care of them, although Paula and Angela had conflicts with Hitler over the orphan allowance before, but this matter has passed, and it would be good for Hitler to apologize to the sisters.
Such days are ordinary and simple, and it is rare not to suffer at the front, so you should take a holiday in Potsdam.
As for the Hillemin Company, Hitler would occasionally go to Bremen to have a look, and although the company was fully managed by Ginter, it was better to have a boss present for some things in the company.
In just two or three years since its founding, the company has already surpassed the port of Bremen and Baker beer to become the pillar of Bremen. Hitler's annual dividends exceeded 50,000 marks, although 50,000 marks is completely small compared with the old Junker aristocracy, but this 50,000 marks is enough for an ordinary person to live a normal life for a lifetime.
The days of comfort in Potsdam were soon over.
As summer quickly approaches, the girls don their flowing white dresses, and the boys can finally swim and play in the river.
In the happy summer, there was not much happy news.
In April, before the Germans had time to celebrate the withdrawal of Russia from the war in the East, the sudden entry of the United States into the war cast a shadow over the hearts of all Germans, although Kaiser Wilhelm II made a radio speech pointing out that the United States, a mongrel, posed the slightest threat to Germany, and that if the Americans were annihilated a few times on land or sea, the Americans who were afraid of death would surely ask for peace.
At the beginning of World War I, the German Kaiser also said that the war would end before Christmas, but now, not only can there be no hope of victory, but the war has caused the living standards of the people in the country to decline day by day, and many people have not had enough to eat.
The only thing that was good was that the German army never lost a battle on the battlefield!
It may be a draw, such as the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Verdun, but it has never been lost anyway, and it has won many battles in every theater except the Western Front, and it has never been invincible.
The spring in Germany, for Hitler, passed so quickly.
But suddenly one day, Crown Prince Victor took a discharge certificate and said to Hitler: "You have been discharged from the army!" ”
