Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hitler's Cards

Hitler first said to Rosenberg: "You have a very good understanding of this aspect, so that you are in charge of the work of the party's unified 'war' department, and in the future, you will go to Britain, the United States, and France to run more often, and even if you cannot form an alliance with our country, you can also cooperate more with our National Socialist Party for mutual benefit, and you will also be in charge of the Ministry of Economy, and you will have more ideas for doing business yourself, so that you can go to Britain, the United States, and France to do business by the way." ”

Although he knew that Germany could not form an alliance with Britain, the United States and France, Hitler decided to let Rosenberg work hard, maybe he could get some contacts and benefits, Rosenberg has a good reputation in the financial circles, and his ability to do business is comparable to that of Ginter, let him do business, be in charge of the party's finances, and make the best use of his talents, and at the same time let Rosenberg, a nationalist, have something to do, so as not to want to spread his nationalist ideas all day long.

As for the Soviet issue, it is still too early to say, but the fear of Soviet expansion is what all Western governments and people are worried about, and Germany is no exception, the great tsarism of the Soviet Union, the huge size of the Soviet Union, is terrifying, if it were not for the military defeat of the Soviet Union in Warsaw, Poland a few years ago, which made Poland have a barrier to independence, otherwise the Soviet Union would have been involved in Central Europe and threatened Germany, so that the threat of the Soviet Union should be propagated by a National Socialist Party, so that many bourgeoisie can be united, This bourgeoisie refers not only to the German bourgeoisie, but also to the bourgeoisie of all Western countries.

Hitler had a decision in his heart that hatred is not the most important thing for a country or a political party, the most important thing is to use everything that can be used to become strong.

After discussing with Rosenberg, Hitler returned to the "prison", Hindenburg's arrival deserves everyone's attention, Goebbels and others have been talking with Hindenburg, Hitler is still at the door, and he saw Ludendorff blowing his beard and glaring at Hindenburg: "You still dismiss me, heh, I'm afraid of you, you dismiss me, I wrote the general war and became famous for all generations, what about you, after a few hundred years, no one will remember you, only me, Ludendorff - the founder of the general war." ”

The two quarreled in the room, the two used to be close comrades-in-arms, but on the eve of the defeat of Germany in the World War, Ludendorff had no fighting spirit and could not perform his duties well, so he was relieved of all his duties by Hindenburg and could no longer hold military power, and Ludendorff also had a grudge against Hindenburg.

Goebbels persuaded on the side: "People are creatures, they need to understand each other, anyway, they are all trivial, deputy leader, it doesn't matter if you left the army at that time, your honor has not been lost, and the four major battles commanded in the last year let everyone know your command ability, although you were dismissed, but also let the people understand you, and know that the defeat of the war is not your reason." ”

Hindenburg snorted: "You have followed the National Socialist Party for a long time, and you don't want to think about the pressure I have endured, the shame of defeat, and the dismissal of millions of excellent soldiers, you come and try, I will dismiss you from your duties, and let you escape from the Jinlunga chasm." The Kinlunga Divide is synonymous with the European description of the abyss of hell, from Norse mythology.

Hitler walked into the room, opened a bottle of champagne in the wine cabinet, poured a glass for each of them, and said with a smile: "Thousands of years of grievances, a write-off, the cycle of history, turn around and forget, these hatreds and hatreds are fleeting, in fact, there is no need to worry too much." ”

Ludendorff pursed his eyes and said, "I care? If I had brought a gun to him earlier, I just didn't care about him, otherwise would he be able to sit firmly? ”

Hindenburg said: "Okay, I won't tell you, I'm here for Hitler today, it's like this, Hitler, do you know how long you're going to be imprisoned?" ”

"The court said it was two years, what, can I be released early?" Although he was free in this prison, he could not leave the area at all, and many activities were restricted.

Hindenburg said with a smile: "Whether or not you can be released early is in our conversation today." ”

It seems that there is a chance for early release!

Hitler's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and said, "Then I'm going to behave well today, and I'll know everything." ”

"What do you think of the German economy?" Hindenburg took a glass of wine and said slowly.

This question must be answered well, this may be the key to Hindenburg's trip, Hitler pondered for a moment, looked at the people in the room, the top level of the National Socialist Party was there, but they were all politically powerful, and Ginter, Dembucci, Rosenberg, Li Fuchun, and Deng Xixian were not there, and they didn't want to talk to someone.

However, this is actually not difficult for Hitler, from the time of the defeat in the world war, Hitler began to think about the German economy, and later the Ruhr crisis broke out, but also let him conduct in-depth analysis and research, for the problem of Hindenburg, Hitler thought about it before, and also discussed with everyone, so Hindenburg's question Hitler already had the answer in his heart.

He was well prepared and said slowly: "The German economy is diversified, from medieval agriculture to modern industry, from heavy industry represented by the Ruhr, the heart of Europe, to light industry represented by small workshops in various cities. There are many pillar industries in our country, but the most important thing is the Ruhr industrial area, because the most important thing in our country is the excellent goods manufactured by heavy industry, so that our country can not stand on the top of the world, the economy ranks second, but most of the heavy industry depends on the iron and coal produced in the Ruhr, without the Ruhr, our country's economy will not be able to get up, so the country must take back the Ruhr ......"

"Is that all?" Hindenburg shook his head in disappointment, obviously not satisfied: "The importance of the Ruhr industrial area is understood by any German, but the Ruhr industrial area cannot be taken back for the time being, what I want to ask is how to develop the German economy without the Ruhr industrial area, you can make Regensburg prosperous, I thought you could have any better suggestions." ”

After Hindenburg finished speaking, he got up to leave, Hitler was also speechless, blushing, and the taste of losing face in the top echelons of the National Socialist Party was obviously uncomfortable, Goebbels saw that Hindenburg was disappointed and wanted to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Marshal...... Marshal, let's finish this bottle of champagne first, I have been storing this champagne for a long time, and only you are qualified to drink it. ”

"Yes, I heard that you like fishing, there is a small lake not far away, and the perch there is fat and easy to catch, I will accompany you to fish later." Hess also got up and stopped Hindenburg, not to let Hindenburg leave, if he really let Hindenburg leave like this, not only would Hitler not be able to get out of prison early, but the National Socialist Party would also fall to the bottom in his impression.

Hitler also reacted, breathed a long sigh of relief, swept away the decadence, and said with a radiant look: "The marshal does not panic, to make the German economy rise, it is very simple, please listen to me, I have a lot of cards." ”

"Oh? A lot of cards? Hindenburg looked back at him: "Then play your cards." ”

Hitler sat down and said word for word: "The first card is the United States." ”

"The United States?" Hindenburg was puzzled.

"Yes, America." Hitler sat down and said: "The world war led to the defeat of Germany under the participation of the United States, but the United States did not achieve the result it wanted, the result that the United States wanted was to intervene in European affairs, but Britain and France did not agree, Europe is too crowded, if you agree to the open door policy of the United States, let American goods flow into the European commodity market unscrupulously, let the United States financial impact the European financial market, let the American political forces meddle in European affairs, then, for Britain and France, It's nothing less than a disaster. After all, the United States is too powerful, it was the largest economic aggregate a few decades ago, and now both military strength and political strength are rising, so although Britain and France have an alliance with the United States, they do not welcome the United States for Europe, and we, Germany, can introduce the United States into German affairs and European affairs, so that American finance can become the driving force for Germany's rejuvenation. ”

Hitler's words were opposed by many people, but only Ludendorff was qualified to speak out against it: "Europe is the Europe of Europeans, how can the Americans be allowed to interfere, once the Americans intervene, then it will be difficult to get the United States out of Europe, and besides, if we introduce the United States into Europe, will we not find Britain and France to exclude and oppose it?" I disagree. ”

Hitler retorted: "This is what I call the card, we can threaten Britain and France with the entry of the United States into Europe, as a bargaining chip for our dealings with other countries, and at the same time we can use the American economy to revive the German economy." ”

"From a national point of view, you can say yes, go on." Hindenburg nodded, agreeing with Hitler's ideas.

Hitler said: "The second card is to build a new Franco-German relationship, which is the most difficult step, and it is also the step that must be taken, as long as the Franco-German relationship is improved, the two countries can benefit each other, and if something like the Ruhr incident is avoided, we can Germany re-emerge, and we can gradually dismantle the Anglo-French alliance so that it is not so directed against us." The third card is the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has a lot of land, we can build a new diplomatic relationship with the Soviet Union, even an alliance, while strengthening economic construction, we can also threaten Western countries, using Western countries' fear of the red regime, to achieve a temporary or long-term alliance, eliminate misunderstandings between countries, and make the German economy rise again. This...... It is my analysis from the national level, and there are many internal economic regulation and control in many countries, such as doing more projects, curbing the indiscriminate issuance of paper money, cracking down on corruption, and by the way, replenishing the treasury with the money of corrupt officials, etc., all of which require us to think slowly and plan slowly. ”

As soon as Hitler spoke, everyone's applause suddenly rang out in the room, Hitler's remarks can be said to be perfect and wonderful, Hindenburg nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the analysis is very good, Hitler, your ability and loyalty no longer need to be tested, I want you to be the Minister of German Commerce and Trade, what do you think?" ”

Hindenburg's words surprised everyone (I can't face this word squarely), I didn't expect that Hindenburg would let Hitler be the Minister of Commerce and Trade, although Hitler was a mayor before, and being the Minister of Commerce was not too overstepping, but Hindenburg said it too quickly, making people unprepared, and everyone's eyes were focused on Hitler.

"Gladly!" Hitler stood up, smiled and bowed, he had no reason to refuse, as Minister of Commerce and Trade, he could meddle in the high-level affairs of the German government, and at the same time he could also promote and help the National Socialist Party, only good and no harm.
