In March 1918, everything became complicated, and the Russian Soviet government and Germany formally signed the Peace of Brest, marking Russia's formal withdrawal from the war, and Germany thus avoided a two-front war, and gained Poland and western Ukrainian territory, greatly increasing Germany's war potential.

However, on the other side of the Atlantic, the United States saw that Russia was in civil strife and made peace with Germany, and suddenly could not sit still; if Germany digested the territory of Poland and Western Ukraine, became strong, and defeated Britain and France in one fell swoop, then the Americans would not be able to recover the loans they lent to the Entente, and they would have withdrawn from the European stage and could only be the emperor of the soil in the Americas.

So on the one hand, the United States stepped up its funding for the Entente, and on the other hand, more American troops landed in France, and Pershing, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, stepped up training.

Since the United States entered the war, Germany has been subjected to a total blockade, lack of materials, the economy has fallen into crisis, some monopoly classes have made a windfall in the war, and some factories and enterprises have closed down due to the shortage of raw materials and fuel, so that the dissatisfaction and anti-war sentiment in Germany has been growing, and last year alone, that is, in 1917, there were more than 500 strikes in GermanyThere was a general strike of 300,000 people, the city's traffic was paralyzed, and the people and workers marched in the streets, so frightened that the Kaiser hurriedly ordered the Brandenburg garrison and the 1st Division of the Prince's Army to be transferred to Berlin before the incident was finally quelled.

In fact, the German people could afford to suffer, but when they learned that they were fighting for the rich, they grew a lot of resentment. The war made many rich Jews rich, but in 1917, when the United States entered the war and Germany had no hope of victory, many Jews mortgaged and sold their factories and fled with the money, causing the economy to collapse and the people to dissatisfaction.

Jews are a race without a sense of belonging, and they can buy their relatives for money - a European proverb.

The idea that Jews are hated in Europe has been around for hundreds of years, and Jews have been called "infidels" by Christianity before. Moreover, the Jews were very clever enough to amass a lot of wealth if they ran a business, but this would in turn become an object of envy and hatred among the locals.

Shakespeare's portrayal of Shylock, a Jewish loan shark, in The Merchant of Venice, also reflects to some extent the prejudice against Jews in the minds of many Europeans.

The discontent of the German people stemmed from the fact that they believed that they were fighting for the rich Jews, who had made money and fled to the United States.

Who would be happy about such a thing? It's like a large number of people from that continent below the Mediterranean Sea in Europe who come to a certain country to eat and drink, and trick women into bed to deceive the government's sympathy, and finally when there is a war with a certain island country, these people immediately abandon their wives and children with money and run away, and they do not bear any responsibility.

Who would like such a person?

Moreover, the idea that discrimination against Jews in Europe has been carried over from thousands of years ago, and it has been ingrained in the blood and bones, and it will never be changed for a while.

Dissatisfied with the Jews' fleeing, coupled with the fact that the German economy was getting worse day by day, many people could not even afford to eat, and this situation was soon known to the German front-line soldiers, so the soldiers at the bottom rumored that there was a great 'famine' in the country, or it would not be long before the German government would surrender.

Coupled with the 14 principles put forward by US President Wilson, the morale of the soldiers at the bottom has suffered a great blow.

In 1918, for Germany, it seemed that it had reached the point of exhaustion, but Germany was not willing to withdraw from the stage of history like this, and Germany did not lose a war on land! Nor did the enemy invade an inch of their own territory!

How could it be defeated?

So, just after winter, under the personal command of Hindenburg and Ludendorff, a series of attacks on the Entente were carried out, and the front line was suddenly under artillery fire and rivers of blood.

It was against this background that Hitler took over the task of Crown Prince Victor at the Sechelinhof Palace:

"You're doing a good job with the Security Bureau, I need help with something right now, and I want you to do it."

"What's the matter?" Hitler stood in Victor's study, which had a large number of books and several world-famous paintings.

"Since the United States entered the war, the situation has been very unfavorable for us in Germany, and the recovery of the strength of the Entente and the five American divisions being trained in France have made me very worried. Hindenburg and Ludendorff's first offensive in France had failed, it wasn't what I wanted to see, I wanted victory. ”

Victor sat down Hitler and lit a cigarette, Victor was a non-smoker before, presumably because difficult current events made him depressed, so he contracted the vice of smoking.

Victor continued: "So, I want to form an elite regiment and use this elite regiment to break the current predicament. ”

Hitler listened and nodded, and understood that the predicament that Victor was talking about was not only a military predicament, but also a predicament of the discontent of the people at home, and now that anti-war sentiment was high in Germany, strikes were coming one after another, and only a series of military victories could calm the anger of the people.

The reason why war is in the service of politics is because war can make the people hate the same enemy, and military victory is the best weapon to eliminate the people's discontent.

Viktor handed Hitler a cigarette: "You still have to take care of the Security Bureau, but I want you to be the head of this elite regiment, you have never let me down, and I hope you will make another contribution to our Germany." ”

"Before that, I was only a captain, and I only served as a company commander at the highest, so I'm not afraid that I will mess things up?" Hitler laughed at himself.

Victor smiled: "I believe you, you have not studied in a military academy, but your military talent is more powerful than those who came out of a military academy, and Germany at this time needs to save the country's heroes." ”

Yes, Germany at this time needed heroes to work miracles.

"I will live up to your trust!" Hitler "whoosh" stood up and gave a military salute to Victor.

In this way, Hitler returned to the army sequence, and instead was promoted to colonel, colonel, by Victor! One step away from the general!

"If the elite regiment wants to become the most elite and powerful regiment in the whole army, I will give you the greatest authority, let you play, and you must form combat effectiveness within a month, and I will personally test it. I don't want you to drag on like the formation of the Security Service anymore, the most important thing in Germany now is time, understand! ”

Victor's voice became stern, and Hitler's heart shook, and he raised a military salute again: "Yes!" ”

Since Hitler had never commanded a battalion or regimental battle before, now Victor's Crown Prince Army Group learned from the experience, especially from Bock, who had previously commanded a battalion, although this battalion was called the Death Battalion, but it was exactly the case, and Bock had many post-defeat insights, which also inspired Hitler.
