"Leader!" Ernst. Rohm was sweating profusely, he seemed to have run for some distance, and he was panting heavily, he took a deep breath and said: "Telegram from Berlin!" ”

Richie took the telegram and read it.

It was a telegram about the negotiation process between the Second Reich and the Entente countries, and the current leadership of the Reich had decided to accept the proposal of US President Wilson to bring about an armistice along the lines of "national self-determination".

What is the "self-determination of peoples" proposed by US President Wilson? The idea is that after the armistice in Europe, each region can vote according to its ethnic composition, and the people are free to choose which government to be led by a "referendum".

Based on the proposal of "national self-determination", the new Prime Minister Max. Feng. Baden saw it as an armistice in Germany's favor.

Max. Feng. Baden told the civil and military commanders of the government that if the truce of "national self-determination" was followed, the defeated Germany would not be dismembered, and it would even be possible to achieve the goal that had not been achieved during the war, and to bring some areas of the main ethnic group Germany under the jurisdiction of the new government.

"Those idiots...... no!" Li Qi had a mocking expression on his face, and said in a disdainful tone: "It's a fool! Only a fool would believe that what is not available by the means of war will be obtained in the defeat of peace. Who do they think they are? Is it God? ”

The course of history had come to October 16, 1918, which was a special time, especially at a time when Germany was full of chaos.

The chaos is multifaceted, and the global flu has finally arrived in Germany itself, with unimaginable outbreaks in various cities. In addition to the contagion of the flu, there is another thing that is also raging like a virus, and that is the revolution!

In the French Revolution, there was a famous saying, "Liberty, how many evils are done in your name!" This was stated by Madame Roland, a famous politician during the French Revolution and one of the leaders of the Girond's party.

Indeed, those revolutionaries are doing all the evil things with the freedom of shouting, they are holding weapons and occupying any place that can be occupied, announcing that that place has become the headquarters of such and such a party or whatever. They also shouted for freedom and then took the public property for themselves. The most terrifying thing is that they shouted for freedom, and then gathered a group of armed groups to fight in the city for some inexplicable ideas, people with different ideas.

The Freikorps were also involved in street fighting, mostly in the defense of factories and banks, where Litch ordered the troops to protect the factory machinery for evacuation, and the banks were entrusted by the capital consortium.

"We're going to need money, so we're going to have to work with some people." Rich's thinking is very clear: "We need not only money, but also access to food, so we need them." ”

Adolph. Hitler had officially retired from the Army, and he no longer followed Richie as the first secretary arranged by the Army, but as a follower of Richie's party.

As for cooperating with some capital consortia, that is the direction that Li Qi has set at the beginning, and any activity needs money to support, and nothing can be done without sufficient financial resources. However, he is also vigilant that cooperation with the consortium is one thing, but it is absolutely not allowed to be controlled, so his own group also needs a certain amount of constant income to generate benefits as a source of funds for future activities.

"Our legion is growing." Alfred. Rosenberg looked overjoyed, and he said: "The first target of those who have recently returned home from the front line is us, not the strange Socialists. ”

Ernst. Rohm nodded rightly: "Only the leaders are the ones who really think about them." ", he was talking about the operation of the veterans' fund.

According to incomplete statistics, after Li Qi opened the Soldiers' Fund, he helped more than 260,000 retired soldiers. Let's be honest, 260,000 people is not a lot of money for millions of soldiers, but don't forget that Germany is the only organization that helps retired soldiers.

In order to open up his popularity, Li Qi used to open up a lot of joints for the media to report, so he has a lot of prestige among soldiers. Before the collapse of the German ruling class, increasing prestige was only a necessary means of participating in politics, and some leaders thought that Li Qi was preparing for political participation, and Xiaoxiao did not stop it at all. After the collapse of the German ruling class, Leach's popularity in the hearts of the soldiers came into play.

The Freikorps had been in existence for less than four months, and by September 1918 was the peak of the Freikorps' growth, as too many soldiers had returned from the front. Because of the chaos of the current situation, there are many people who originally had jobs who lost their jobs because of the closure of factories, how can retired soldiers return to their hometowns to find jobs? They began to turn to veterans' funds.

The Veterans Fund is still in operation, and Richie's instructions are to help retired soldiers as much as possible, and then absorb some of the elite among them.

By October 1918, the Freikorps under Ritchie had swelled to 100,000 men, mostly around Munich in Bavaria, with a small number in Baden-Württemberg and Saxony.

Because of the swelling number of armed men at his disposal, Li Qi naturally entered the field of vision of some people, such as the new government in Berlin, but it was the state government of Bavaria that attracted the most attention.

Yes, Bavaria is not a kingdom now, it is a state, because the Bavarian royal family has been forced to flee, King Ludwig III went into exile in Austria, and the crown prince ~ Crown Prince Ruprecht. Maria. Lyutpod. Ferdinand went to Berlin, but the crown prince would soon have to run away.

The Kingdom of Bavaria was the first of the Second German Empire to collapse, which was both unexpected and reasonable. Her collapse was like a tarot card that would soon spread to the kingdoms of Baden-Württemberg, Saxony, Hesse and so on.

"The number of troops needs to be controlled at a certain number, and 200,000 by 1920 is a good number." "In the future, the confusion of the situation will intensify, and as soon as the leadership of Berlin signs the documents of defeat, the nightmare will immediately come." In that tendency, the forces of the Entente countries would march into Germany, and we could not and could not make enemies with the Entente countries at that time. ”

There has long been a consensus on this issue, including the support of the Entente countries. The subsequent independence of Bavaria into the "Bavarian Soviet Republic" was the opportunity for Ritch and others to gain the support of the Entente countries.
