Chapter 162 162 Flag

Mercedes made the breakfast for Accardo, but the only thing that was pitiful was two slightly charred fried eggs with two slices of ready-made bread. This made Accardo feel that there is no omnipotence of women, and at the same time, it suddenly narrowed the distance between the two people who had deliberately kept it.

"My dear. "Krupp may have been a little too radical lately, and I have no objection to him seeking profit for his own factory, but let him pay attention to moderation! ”

"Flights were arranged in the afternoon. Mercedes sat on the side, holding his chin in his hand, and looked at his man with a happy face.

"Uh, no! dear! Accardo almost choked and coughed twice before he said, "At least the two of us should enjoy the joy of the newlywed! I can't help it, you must rest for a few days! I want to see you every day when I come back here!"

"I'll wait for you to have dinner!" Mercedes smiled even more delicately, and Accardo's words made her newlywed face full of happiness.

......

Even the most casual visitor can see the outward appearance of the prosperity of Germany under the rule of the Greater German Party. Construction is going on everywhere and people have satisfied smiles on their faces. The newly built highway connects the cities, the large chimneys of the factories smoke billowing black, and the factory production plans are increasing day by day.

Gross national income had nearly doubled in four years, and the number of unemployed had fallen from 6.5 million during the Weimar Republic to less than 1 million. However, the renaissance of businesses and workers is not always able to buy the goods they need – many of them are still underproduced, and entire supply chains are often broken.

The Greater German Party has repeatedly reaffirmed the importance of agriculture in the Diet, while the production of agricultural products in Germany has decreased. From 1935 to early 1936, the Soviet Union reduced grain exports to Germany, causing food shortages in Germany and causing discontent in some regions.

The economic genius Schacht persuaded Accardo to reduce the scale of the military expansion and not to spend heavily on military affairs. As a result, his words were not supported by the other top leaders of the Greater German Party, and Schacht had no choice but to resign from his post in charge of foreign exchange and commodity imports, and handed over these tasks to Krupp, the nominal number two man of the Greater German Party.

Originally, he hoped that Krupp could use his influence in the Greater German Party to prevent the economic collapse caused by the frenzied arms expansion, but who knew that Krupp would more than double the original defense spending as soon as he came to power. In 1936, Germany spent more than $15 billion, accounting for 15% of the country's GDP.

In April 1936, Krupp received an appointment from Accardor to take charge of the "four-year preparation plan" announced by Accardor at the annual congress of the Greater German Party in Hanover. In May, the Führer elaborated on this great plan in a memorandum to Krupp.

At the conference, Accardo made an impassioned statement, saying that the international threat was becoming more and more severe, and that Germany would soon take on the task of encircling Europe from danger. It is necessary to secure a reliable source of raw materials and, if necessary, to occupy the origin of raw materials. New living space must be opened up for the growing German population to feed and shelter. It is necessary to plan the stockpiling of raw materials, increase the level of domestic production, and complete the army's readiness for war within four years.

From this point on, Germany began to implement a wartime economic plan, and Krupp and his cronies began to control German trade and production. It affects many aspects of the national economy. In his speech, Accardo repeatedly stressed that "there can be no restraints in the rearmament program" and that "the final decisive moment is already in sight, and all we have to do is to destroy anyone who stands in our way with tanks and planes."

At the same time, the Greater German Party launched a powerful propaganda offensive, and the working people of Shandong who reached out to exploit contributed money and efforts to the "battle for the raw materials of production". In Germany, a nationwide scrap metal recycling campaign has been launched to collect all kinds of old metal waste and reprocess it, and gardens and parks have been converted into vegetable fields to help subsidize the country's increasingly scarce food supply.

Propaganda teams of propagandists go around exhorting people to exchange the delicacies on the table for cheap food. The German people, who were more easily managed by the system, obediently replaced beef with fish, white bread with brown bread, and margarine instead of butter. Fanny told her aides at an internal meeting of the Greater German Party, "The Führer once said: 'We can do without butter, but we cannot do without weapons, despite our love of peace.'" We don't shoot with bread, we have to shoot with guns!'"

The turmoil of the Nazi Party finally passed, and Accardo finally met Hitler in his office, whose left hand was already a little trembling. Two friends who had known each other since the First World War, two rivals who had been competing with each other since 1920, two men who had sought the future of the German nation by different means, finally sat face to face once again.

Silence, a very uncomfortable silence.

"What to drink?" asked Accardo as he broke the silence.

"You see me laughing? Do you think I'm sitting here today because I've failed?" Hitler stared at Accardo, and had to admit that his eyes were really chilling, at least Acardo was still uncomfortable looking at it now.

"Adolf. Accardo sighed, looked at Hitler and said, "We are all fighting for the future of this country, and who wins and who loses between the two of us is so important?"

Hitler stared at Accardo for a long time, until he seemed to be sure that Accardo was not laughing at him, and then he slowly leaned back on the back of the sofa: "Accardo! I have always thought that you are a very powerful person! It is only today that I have to admit that I really cannot surpass you." ”

"Hatred transfer, national hatred, these are inferior means after all. I didn't want you to use it, but you didn't listen to me. Accardo sighed and said, "I really miss the time when the two of us were in the field hospital. ”

"At that time, I worshipped you like an emperor. Hitler's expression was blank, as if he was recalling what had happened in those years: "You have not failed my adoration in the end! Now you are the 'Führer' of this country." ”

He stood up and looked at the tricolor flag of the Weimar Republic of Germany hanging behind Accardo: "This flag is really ugly, but I like the title you gave yourself...... Führer, Führer...... If I become the head of Germany, I will use a flag that I designed myself. ”

"I'll do it for you. Accardo thought for a moment and said, "I will decree in a few days that Germany will use the swastika flag as the German flag in memory of the countless German compatriots who died after being deceived by the * thug Adolf Hitler." ”

"*, I've hated it all my life*...... As a result, when he died, he was framed by his own friends to be*. Hitler walked up and down in front of Accardo in exasperation, and his voice was already crying: "I, we, we, we are friends, right? ”

"If, we're still friends. Accardo said softly: "Then you should sue me for supporting you and obstructing my plan to strengthen Germany, and for directing you to become the enemy of the German people step by step!"

He paused and said very solemnly: "I will send him to accompany you, and I will never break my word." ”

"It doesn't matter who it is? Hitler snorted: "Remember our oath, Accardo Rudolph! I have been dreaming lately that I am hiding in the basement and there is the rumbling of artillery outside, and I have to shoot myself in the head in order to prevent the enemy from catching me...... Hopefully this isn't the end for you. ”

"Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, I will go all the way!" Acardo stared at Hitler and said: "I will not turn back, I will not retreat, if the German people end up suffering because of me, I will accompany you to hell, if God is destined to lead my people to glory, then I will overcome all the obstacles until death." ”

"You know I'm doing good for Germany, right?" asked Hitler, looking up suddenly.

"Yes, I know. I know you're doing Germany for the good!" Accardo nodded, suddenly realizing that some people were not entirely without merit in doing evil. At least some people are just radical and narrow-minded, they want to be the hero of the whole nation, but they don't care about the life or death of other peoples.

"Would it be better to treat me as a *dead man, would it make the German people more united, more combative?" Hitler asked again.

"There's no way around it! Adolf! Your death will save a lot of Germans. Accardo nodded again.

"The French secretly supported the Nazi Party, and the ledger was in the first apartment on the third floor of 179 Berlin Straße. Hitler walked to the door, his steps as heavy as lead: "The Crown Prince in the Netherlands is also involved, and I hope you will fulfill your promise to me." ”

"Thank you! we'll always be friends...... Accardo whispered, rubbing his eyes with his hand.

......

"As a communist international radical who instigated internal contradictions among the people, you were sentenced to death on charges of murder, treason, embezzlement, and attempted separatism. Do you have anything to say?" said the judge on the execution ground.

"I wish this nation the eternal prosperity of this nation with my loyalty! I hope that my departure will save this nation from suffering! Long live Great Germany!" Hitler said loudly in front of more than 500 ordinary people who were watching the execution.

"Execution, then!" ordered the executioner.

Suddenly, the prisoner Hitler raised his right hand and shouted: "Long live the Führer......"

"Bah!" the gunshot rang out.

Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, was executed on November 11, 1936.
