As soon as Hitler saw Xiao Weiguo at his chancellor's office, he greeted him warmly, holding Xiao Weiguo's big hand with one hand and holding it hard, his eyes full of joy. He exclaimed, "Mr. Philip, you are welcome to my Prime Minister's Office!" I didn't expect Mr. Philip's prediction to come true so quickly, and I feel like I'm in a dream until now! But every plant and tree in the Prime Minister's Office now belongs to me, and I am sure that I have really succeeded this time! I would like to thank Mr. Philip in particular, if it weren't for your prophecy, perhaps I would have given up. ”

Xiao Weiguo hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is serious!" The fact that you have been able to live in this Chancellery is entirely because you have the support of the German people, and it is your charm that has conquered all Germans, and it has nothing to do with my prophecy! In fact, at that time, I saw that the German people were talking about your unique personality and leadership skills, and I predicted that you would become the chancellor of Germany. I believe that anyone who is careful can see this result. ”

Hitler smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Philip, I trust your vision!" With that, Hitler walked up to Dr. Messerschmidt and shook his hand politely, which already made Messerschmidt feel a lot of pressure, after all, he had heard that Hitler was a moody man.

Still smiling, Hitler said to Messerschmidt: "Dr. Wiley, I have been famous for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see him." I invite you today to meet some of Germany's most powerful aviation leaders and some of the most outstanding aircraft designers. Your Wind Thunder series engine is very good, we must increase research and development efforts, and strive to make it the pride of our German aviation industry as soon as possible! ”

Messerschmitt nodded: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we are working on it. Although he encountered some technical problems in the development process, fortunately with Philip, he was able to solve no matter how big the problem was. I think the Fenglei series engine is expected to complete the finalization test within half a year. And put into mass production. ”

Hitler was overjoyed and said, "Good! Good! Good! That's great news! Sit down, let's just talk casually like a gathering of friends, don't be inhibited! ”

When Xiao Weiguo and Messerschmitt sat down, Hitler also sat down on his sofa.

In fact, although Hitler has become chancellor, he also knows that he is not on a firm foothold and needs more support. For Philip, whom he values very much, and Philip's Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, he hopes to get their support! Hitler wanted to revive the German economy, to restore the factories in the industrial zones to normal operations, to free Germany from the status of a defeated country, and to reclaim a great deal of sovereignty. All of these need to be supported by more social forces.

You must know that after Hitler came to power, he was faced with a mess! The German government's deficit remained frighteningly high, with more than 6 million unemployed, and the West Bank of the Rhine was returned by the Allies in June 1930. But there is a lot of waste to be done; Moreover, France also occupies the Saarland canton and attempts to formally annex it through a referendum by cultivating local separatists and pro-French elements. As long as the economic situation in Germany is not improving, this conspiracy of the French may succeed at any time. Moreover, the Nazi party was inherently inadequate, as it did not have an absolute majority in parliament, which plagued Hitler, the new chancellor of the Weimar Republic.

Most Germans still had high expectations of Hitler. After all, the 14-year rule of the Weimar Republic was a complete humiliating disaster for them, and the standard of living of the people was much lower than it was during the imperial period before World War I. So they don't have a good opinion of the democracy and its parties; The old trade unions were unable to secure even a minimum employment rate and a minimum subsistence guarantee for workers, let alone others.

At this time, Hitler was still unable to sit on the power of dictatorship, and he was constrained by the power of the president and the coalition partners in the cabinet. In this cabinet, the president decides on the majority of the cabinet and has direct control over defense and foreign affairs. When Hitler became chancellor, he could only decide on the election of two Democrats in addition to himself. Papen is the most powerful person in the cabinet. Of the 11-member cabinet, the Socialist Party has only three members, and the conservative faction, headed by Papen, has eight. All in all, Hitler's cabinet remained within constitutional constraints, although the power of the Reichstag was severely weakened. However, it is still possible for the parties to use the rights enshrined in the constitution to oppose Hitler's government, and it is also possible to express their opposition through the constitutional process if the Democratic Socialist Party violates the constitution.

In addition, President Hindenburg still did not fully trust Hitler and leaned towards conservatives. According to the regulations of the two sides, the president did not receive Hitler alone, and could only listen to Hitler's instructions and reports on his work when he was accompanied and present by Vice Chancellor Papen. Moreover, the president did not give the Cabinet the power to govern under emergency decrees, and Hindenburg could dissolve the Cabinet at any time by issuing emergency decrees to remove Hitler and the Democratic Socialist Party from power. Deputy Chancellor Papen believed that his advantage in the cabinet, combined with his friendship with the president, expected to contain Hitler. He threatened: "We hired Hitler to serve us!" "Within two months, we'll be cornering him and screaming!" At that time, at the beginning of Hitler's rise to power, German public opinion circles at that time also generally believed that the Democratic Socialist Party "would not be in power for long" and "may soon step down!" ", the right-wing leaders of the Social Democratic Party also spread among the party members: "Hitler's government will die out on its own in a very short time."

The chancellor office could not satisfy Hitler's appetite. Hitler's single-minded goal was the complete abolition of parliamentary democracy and the establishment of a fascist dictatorship. As far back as January 1932, he made it clear: "The Nazi Party demands full power and will not share power for long with other forces, conservative parties and factions!" ”

Now that Hitler has executive power, he needs to be legislated for dictatorship. But it is not easy to seize full power. Hitler first had to obtain the approval of the Reichstag for his appointment as chancellor, and then he broke the constraints of the Weimar constitution and established a fascist dictatorship by "legal" procedure by passing a law that would radically change the state system and allow him to exercise his power without restrictions. Article 76 of the Weimar Constitution stipulates that the adoption of any decree amending the Constitution must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the Reichstag. The ruling Democratic Socialist Party and the German National People's Party accounted for only 41.9% of the Reichstag, so Hitler decided to dissolve the Reichstag and hold new elections less than two days after coming to power, changing the political power structure in the Reichstag.
