Chapter 94: The 94 Tragedy
The plan was implemented in an orderly manner, and Germany bought almost all the machine tools and equipment that could be found on the American market, as well as a lot of cheap rare metal materials. For a time, German merchants became synonymous with bailouts, traveling between the world's once richest countries to buy whatever was of interest to them.
In order to save its own economy, Britain even exchanged Saudi oil production shares for German private financial aid. Allowing Germany to build up its own submarine force turned a blind eye to the covert expansion of the Luftwaffe, and even more so to secretly restrain France from turning a blind eye to the growing number of German tanks.
The world economic crisis brought unprecedented opportunities for development to the Soviet Union, and they exported large quantities of grain and raw materials through Germany or on their own - grain was saved by the people of the whole country by tightening their belts, and most of the materials were obtained after primitive mining, including timber, ore and oil, all of which were on the list for sale.
Although Germany had been prepared to make a windfall of the economic crisis in the early stage, they soon felt the chill of the economic crisis. The closure of most of the country's factories and the unemployment of a large number of workers, and the bizarre price trends have caused the German government a headache β most Germans have had to survive the economic crisis on their own, just like American businessmen, compared to the few private conglomerates led by the Big German Party.
Of course, France and Britain are not idle, they are hurrying to demand Germany's war reparations, but the German government has not been able to come up with much money to repay the reparations under the influence of the economic crisis.
With a huge fleet of ships between Europe and North America, Accardo prepared about 70 large-tonnage transport ships for Merkel and chartered 20 huge British freighters under a support agreement, more than double Germany's original estimated capacity. The sophisticated Germans organized these freighters into a large convoy of ten transports, which was easy to manage and avoid accidents.
A lot of money was spent, turned into equipment, turned into raw materials, and shipped back to Germany. But the artificially suppressed production capacity could not consume such a huge accumulation at once, and Germany's fragile economy was in danger of collapsing.
When the wages were in hand, they found that they could not buy potatoes, that there was an urgent shortage of food in the market, that butter had long been sold out, and that they could only be replaced by margarine, and that the citizens of Berlin began to panic, and many people began to be bewitched by the Nazi Party, which had disappeared a while ago, and people began to look for the root cause of their life becoming more and more miserable.
"Only Mr. Hitler is your future!" a speaker stood on the stage of the bar and shouted loudly: "Those Jews are the culprits of this economic crisis! They make a lot of money in Germany! They spend it in the United States and Britain! They only care about how many more machines there are in their factories! They don't care about your life or death!"
"Yes!" shouted from the audience below, and the atmosphere of blind obedience began to spread through the bar.
"The Greater Deutsche Party does not represent your interests at all! They only care about the mess!" The man continued to demagogue on stage: "Think about it! What practical benefits did the liberation of the Rhineland or the expansion of the Wehrmacht bring us? No! Nothing!"
"Yes!" the people below began to boil!
In the background, Goebbels proudly pointed to the propagandist in the front desk and boasted to Hitler beside him: "Born first, our support among the people has increased significantly! The government has not been able to come up with any good solution to the financial crisis, so they can hardly stop our propaganda and expansion." β
Hitler nodded: "We have finally seized the opportunity! This time the Greater German Party can only watch us turn over." In fact, it was the change in his mentality that was the greatest success of the Nazi Party's counterattack. Originally, Hitler had been living in the shadow of Accardo, unable to turn over, but this success showed him that Accardo was not invincible, which allowed him to regain his long-lost self-confidence.
Goebbels, supported by Hitler, was even more proud: "The rationality and inclusiveness of the Greater German Party, as well as their position as the ruling party, have made them helpless against this economic crisis, but we are different. β
He pointed to the impassioned speaker on the stage: "We can be irresponsible, we can exacerbate the contradictions, and we can blame the Jews for all the evils!"
"It's not to push it to them! it's that they really deserve to die!" Hitler, though in a good mood, immediately became angry at the mention of the Jews: "Sooner or later I will kill all the damned brutes!"
"Kill them!" seemed to match Hitler's shout, and the crowd outside also boiled, led by a group of stormtroopers in brown shirts, and the crowd let out a terrifying scream: "Kill those Jewish dogs!"
Led by more than two dozen stormtroopers, hundreds of audience members poured out of the bar, and they left in a majestic manner, disappearing at the end of the street.
......
"Mr. President. Fanny lowered her head and looked at the text in her hand, frowning to report her work: "Recently, due to the economic crisis, the support of our Greater German Party is declining, which is a dangerous signal, which proves that we cannot maintain the trust of the people. β
Royk Carter also stepped forward and produced his own report: "Mr. President, many Jewish Party members report that they are often harassed by Nazi Party believers, and although the SS does their best to protect them, this is indeed increasing. β
Fanny continued: "Our correspondents have found that the Nazis are stirring up discontent against the Jews, and although this is a despicable tactic, they have had the desired effect! β
"Our predictions are not very accurate in this regard, and Mr. Chairman can ask the campaign advisers in our party. Royk Carter added.
"We're secretly stockpiling supplies! You know. Accardo finally spoke, his tone showing exhaustion and helplessness: "And I am discussing with President Hindenburg and the Ministry of Defense about continuing the secret expansion of the army. β
He sighed and said: "I originally planned to expand the regular army by 20 divisions to alleviate unemployment caused by the economic crisis. Of course, I'm not sure how much will be left after the bargaining. On the other hand, I have already come up with another plan to Krupp and Mr. Jeryn Nike, asking them to find a way to call on companies that are in a better position to recruit 500,000 more skilled workers. β
No one knew that Accardo had paid a price of $50 million for these massive projects, not including the efforts and favors he had used.
"But compared with the blame for not asking for money, the effect of these measures is slow and not obvious. Fanny sighed as well.
"Why don't we also find an excuse to frame some random people, package them up, and push them out to kill them to vent the anger of the people?" Royk Carter thought for a moment and said, "Although this idea is being used by the Nazi Party, it doesn't seem decent for us to pick up people's leftovers, but maybe it really works......
"Then why am I bothering to stand up here, and how convenient is it for all of them to join the Nazi Party?" asked Accardo with a sneer, looking at Loic Carter.
Loyk Carter knew that Accardo's idea was not in accord with him, so he closed his mouth in amusement and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room was even more unpleasant.
......
The University of Berlin is one of the most famous institutions of higher learning in Germany, where many Nobel laureates have been born, and many great artists in history have been born, and it can be said that it is sacred and solemn in the hearts of the German people.
But today seemed to be a little different, and the doorman of the university saw a large group of people coming towards him menacingly from a distance. Frightened, he quickly hid back in the duty room behind him. And just as he closed the door of the duty room, he didn't see a professor walking out of the gate of the University of Berlin while reading a chemistry book.
As luck didn't seem to have been, the old professor was unlucky enough to meet the raging crowd that came by, and his book-focused eyes didn't notice the changes taking place around himβand certainly didn't hide the six-pointed star ring on his finger.
A soldier in a black SS uniform on the side of the street saw this and hurriedly dropped the cigarette in his mouth and ran to the professor's side, drawing the pistol from his waist as he ran......
"Kill this Jewish stupid pig!" Someone finally discovered the professor's identity, and the eerie silence was broken by a roar from the crowd, and the glasses on the bridge of the professor's nose flew into the sky with blood, and the crystal clear lenses shattered like crystal.
"Bah!" the shots rang out, but it did not stop the tyrannical crowd, and the SS soldiers ran out of bullets at the crowd of people who were punching and kicking the professor, and were finally knocked to the ground by the stormtroopers in brown shirts who rushed up, feeling the same pain as the elderly Jewish professor.
An SS truck braked abruptly at the corner of the street, and two dozen SS soldiers with rifles jumped out of the car, who did not take long to stand in a line and raise their rifles against the still chaotic crowd.
The crowd began to panic, panic, and eventually cursed and left, leaving four frozen corpses in place, as well as several wounded who fell to the ground wailing.
