Being able to communicate with Ludendorff and Hindenburg, two of Germany's strongest generals during World War I, Hitler simply felt fortunate in his three lives, both of whom were famous generals in history, and it was very beneficial to be able to discuss tactics with them.

For example, Ludendorff's idea of "Total War" was not well known to Hitler before, but after communicating with Ludendorff, he found that even though total war had some flaws, for example, he opposed Clausewitz's thesis that war is a continuation of another means of politics, believing that politics is subordinate to war, that there must be wars between countries, and that peace is only a break between wars.

For this argument of his, which has been criticized by many, how can politics be subordinate to war? For example, most of the wars waged by Britain against the European continent in the past were for political purposes, all to balance the European continent.

It is a common belief that war should be a means, and that political ends are the most important, and yes.

But we should look at his argument rationally, for example, Germany and France, as well as Turkey and Russia, these feuds have fought back and forth throughout history, and there will be peace for the time being, but as long as there is a conflict of interest between the two countries, there will be another war one day.

It is true that some ideas will become obsolete with the changes of time, and we should discard their dross and extract their essence, and absorb the good aspects of an idea.

Although total warfare is not applicable to some countries, for Germany during World War I, the idea of total war is undoubtedly the most suitable strategic military thinking for Germany during the war, second only to the "Blitzkrieg" during World War II.

Although Ludendorff has not yet written the book "Total War", you can feel his military thinking from his words.

The emphasis of the general war is that the war should be made by the whole people, the national economy should be militarized, everything should serve the military, the press and public opinion should be controlled, the people should be spiritually mobilized, all people should be soldiers in the war, and a dictatorial war command system should be established.

Ludendorff's idea is very suitable for Germany, because Germany is a country with few resources, few colonies, not a large population, and a bad strategic geography, France in the west, Britain in the north, and Russia in the east. Therefore, it is only by waging a general war and mobilizing the whole country that it will be possible to defeat these "behemoths".

Hitler chatted with Victor, Maximilian, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff all afternoon, and when night fell, they said goodbye, but Hitler was left behind by Crown Prince Victor, and Victor said sincerely: "A few people have fought hard, so it is better to go to my palace Secilynhof Palace to rest." ”

Hitler saw that Victor was so enthusiastic that it was difficult to refuse, and the rest such as Weikrich were also very happy to have friendship with the crown prince, and before Hitler agreed, they nodded again and again and agreed to stay.

Secchienhof Palace is not very far from the Palace of Forgotten Worries, a few people got into a luxury carriage, and arrived at the destination in a few minutes, Secchienhof Palace is not a traditional palace from the outside, it looks like a row of English country houses with red bricks and white walls, green grass, full of rural style.

Hitler admired the Secilienhof Palace because it was not only the palace built by Kaiser Wilhelm II for his daughter-in-law Secchiline, but also the place where the world-famous Potsdam Conference took place at the end of World War II.

Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill may have to move into one of the rooms in the Sechelinhof Palace in a few decades.

At the Sechelinhof Palace, Hitler and the nine of them strolled in and met the Victor family. Victor and his daughter-in-law Cecilia (Cecilin) can be described as energetic, giving birth to four sons and two daughters, the eldest of the four sons is 21 years old, the youngest is only 6 years old, and the two daughters are one named Elanie, who is only two years old, so that the other is less than a month old and is still in the arms of her mother.

Victor's four sons had the good genes of the Hohenzollern family, all of them were heroic and handsome, and when Hitler first arrived at the Sechienhof Palace, the four brothers were still riding horses and archery.

But what Hitler loved the most was his two-year-old daughter Elena, who was still singing "Come on Jesus" on the grass under the instruction of her mother when Hitler first arrived:

Every night I look back silently in my little bed

How many blessings have been received today

Perhaps there will still be a lot of pain on earth

Every tear counts

People say that children can't succeed if they do it

How can children be expected to complete the holy work?

I think if there is love, I have the ability to teleport

For example, comforting Jesus made it easier for him

Come on Jesus, please don't worry

Even from the sky, the world is very old

With your patronage, the dream begins.

Early in the morning I poured out my prayers to him

For my sister and my earthly father

I am very happy to pray with my mother

Her smile made me feel satisfied

Even a child's prayer is important

Because there is a good thing in his heart

This beauty is sent to the Lord with a smile

This beauty can save the world.

Although it is impossible for a two-year-old child to know the meaning of this song, Elenia's voice is crisp and pleasant, her face is white, and she sings this song even more holy and beautiful, not only Hitler, but even his comrades-in-arms are stunned, such a child, it is simply too cute. During the dinner, with Victor's encouragement, Elenie enthusiastically poured water for everyone, which made Hitler feel that Elenie was well-behaved and sensible.

"Come, Elaine, Uncle will give you a bottle of perfume." Hitler took out a bottle of No. 5 perfume from his bag and handed it to Elena, Elena's cheeks floated with sweet dimples, and her innocent eyes were full of smiles, Hitler's heart was also happy, and his palm fell on Elea's head like a doting stroke.

Elanie grabbed Perfume No. 5 with one hand, stared at the Blue Max Medal on Hitler's chest with watery eyes, and pointed with her pink fingers: "What is this?" ”

"What's this?" Hitler took off the Blue Max Medal and gave it to Elena: "This is the badge given to me by our emperor, look good, give it to you." ”

Eleni played with the badge, intrigued by the shiny thing.

Crown Prince Victor smiled and said: "You love my daughter more than me, my girl hasn't had time to choose a godfather, so you can just be her godfather." ”

Godfather?

Hitler was stunned, the godfather and the **** godfather are a bit the same, but the German godfather is mainly to protect the children and help them grow up healthily. There is a European folk proverb: the world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers to protect him.

However, among the high-level aristocracy, there are also political considerations for recognizing the godfather for the child, and the "godfather" is a bit similar to the "harmony", which is almost a political means.

"Godfather ......" Hitler snorted, a little hesitant, not for some other reason, for Elenie Hitler is naturally very fond of it, who doesn't want a lovely daughter like Elena, but the key is that if Hitler recognizes Elena, he will inevitably have something to do with the German royal family, Hitler's label in the future is the crown prince, not to mention that Hitler does not want to participate in political disputes, but he knows that two years later, the end of World War II, the German imperial family will fall, and the German emperor will go into exile in the Netherlands. What to do when Hitler will inevitably be involved?

Thus, Hitler hesitated.

Victor saw Hitler's hesitation, but asked Elena, "Eleni, will you ask Uncle Hitler to play with you every day in the future?" ”

Elanie's innocent eyes widened and looked at Hitler: "Well, well, we can go fishing in the future, we can go to build a snowman......"

What an innocent little girl, thinking so much about what to do, Hitler took her over and said to Victor: "Okay, I agree. ”

Victor smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Hitler, from now on you will be Elena's godfather, bear all the diseases and pains for Elena, and help Eleni grow healthily." ”

"Eleni, this medal is for you to play with, you can keep it for me in the future." Hitler picked up Elaine and kissed her on the forehead, and from then on he had a "daughter". Hitler originally wanted to give the Blue Max Medal to Elena, but German law stipulates that the medal cannot be given to others, so Hitler had to say that it should be given to Elaine for safekeeping, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hitler gave her the medal.

The dinner was held in a very harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, and was attended by Victor's mother, Augusta Victoria, wife of the Kaiser.

The dignified Empress Augusta Victoria asked Hitler, "Have you ever been to the Louvre?" ”

Hitler hurriedly swallowed the chicken in his mouth and replied, "No, we just saw the Louvre from a distance above the Eiffel Tower." ”

Empress Augusta Victoria was a little disappointed: "Then you can see the Louvre, what does the Louvre look like in the dark?" ”

"It's very beautiful, under the backdrop of the lights, the Louvre carved fence is made of jade, like a perfect big jade, and the green trees on both sides are like crystal clear jade." Hitler replied.

"Oh, that might be beautiful, too." Empress Augusta Victoria nodded, imagining the beauty in her mind's eye. She has wanted to go to the Louvre since she was a child, but this wish cannot be realized.
