Chapter 146
Berlin, now can only be described as a rumor.
On the night Adolf was elected prime minister, Roma's stormtroopers engaged in a night of long knives.
If Kristallnacht is just a robbery, the stormtroopers are still restrained.
The night of the long knife was naked killing.
Every Hebrew house that marked the door was broken into.
Then, every Hebrew would be hacked with a long knife by someone wearing a stormtrooper uniform.
The bloody and cruel scene was a bit unbearable for Dr. Goebbels, who was a member of the National Socialist Party.
Of course, killing is not the goal.
Looting wealth is the goal of the National Socialists!
"Say, where is your money hidden in your house?" RΓΆm glared viciously at the shivering Himmler in front of him.
This guy is a lawyer, and he's a barrister.
The lawyer's fees are expensive, and he is a notoriously wealthy man in the city of Berlin.
His house alone has more than 1,000 square meters.
He hired five maids to take care of the family's daily life.
"I really don't have any money, and you have taken all the money.
Please!
Leave us alone! β
The lawyer looked at Roma and wailed, his fingers had been cut off. One leg was also broken, and just now, the stormtrooper with a big waist and a round waist was hitting his ribs with a small hammer.
I couldn't stand it anymore, and the lawyer even wanted to die quickly.
"Really!" Roma's hand rises and falls.
With a terrible scream, the lawyer's son's small hand was chopped off.
"Really, I beg you.
We really don't have any money in our family! β
The lawyer cried tears and snot all over his face.
"The mouth is really hard......!"
"Sting" Rohm tore the lawyer's wife's blouse.
"Your wife is good, and your daughter is good.
Let our brothers have a good time, and you won't need to give money. β
Rom has the most cruel smile on his face!
"Poor little Martha is only ten years old, please, don't."
"The little girl is even more flavorful, and pulls his wife and daughter over."
"I say! I say!
There is a cellar under the garden utility room, and in the cellar, the money, all in the cellar. β
The lawyer hurriedly said where the money was hidden, hoping to save his wife and daughter.
"Sting!" RΓΆm tore up her daughter's blouse.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't ......"
"Did I say that? I don't remember. Rohm waved his hand, then pulled the lawyer's daughter's hair.
The little girl made a wild cat-like cry, sharp and piercing.
This kind of scene can be seen everywhere in the night of the long knife.
Amid the screams and tears of countless Hebrews, Adolf spent his first night as Prime Minister of Prussia.
The next day, the third day.
Every day, a large number of Nationalist Socialist Party members organize people to march in the streets to celebrate!
Each time, Adolf would go to Alexanderplatz and give a feverish speech.
Every time, the people listening to the speech were too excited to help themselves.
Soon, Berlin also became the stronghold of the National Socialist Party.
In just one week, the membership of the National Socialist Party in Berlin increased twentyfold.
Then, another week.
The National Socialist Party went on a recruitment spree across the country.
Not only Bavaria, but also Thuringia, Saxony, Dresden, Mecklenburg, Hanover, the Black Forest.
The membership of the National Socialist Party is also growing exponentially.
As the number of party members grew, Adolf's courage grew.
He began to ride the train, giving speeches everywhere, building momentum for himself.
Those fanatical believers even followed in his footsteps, listening to his speeches one by one.
In just two weeks, Adolf's name was resounding throughout Prussia.
"Gentlemen, Prussia can no longer represent our numerous federal principalities.
It was not only Prussia that made up this great empire.
There are also large and small principalities such as Hanover, Bavaria, Saxony, Black Forest, Dresden, Thuringia, etc.
We needed a name that would be more reflective of everyone!
I declare that we will restore the ancient name of this land, Germany!
In the future, all people will be protected under the black, red, and gold flags, and enjoy their rights and duties as citizens.
In the midst of gloom and darkness, we treasure it! Now we have finally set it free and freed it from the coffin! Oh, thou art like lightning, like thunder, like the roar of the sea! Hooray, black, red, gold! As black as gunsmoke, as red as blood, golden flames burned. β
"Deutschland**!"
"Deutschland**!"
Countless people began to cheer, and no one except the Prussians had a sense of belonging to the name.
Now it's different, everyone is under the German flag.
Just by changing his name, Adolf was liked by almost everyone.
Even the Prussians, whose names had been changed, did not oppose the new chancellor.
Because Adolf issued a series of decrees, whether it was a tax reduction or a maximum land tax, these are very good policies for the people at the bottom.
Especially in the midst of war, the lives of ordinary people are already difficult.
The government's taxes are so heavy that ordinary people have long complained.
Now that Adolf's policy had been withdrawn, he immediately gained the support of the whole country.
Whoever dares to overthrow Adolf now, the people of Germany will take up arms to overthrow those people.
"To cope with the huge war expenses, the treasury is tight.
If we cut taxes more drastically, then what are we going to fight? β
Adolf's nominee for Minister of Economy Yamal. Schacht said.
"Yamal, you are looking for meat on mosquitoes, how many mosquitoes do you have enough to eat a bite?
If you want wealth, you naturally have to find rich people.
Killing one rich man is more money than killing 10,000 poor people.
What do we rely on to rule such a large country?
We rely on millions of people who support us, not on the rich Hebrews. β
Adolf looked at Yamal with a smile as he drank his tea. Shacht.
"You mean ......!" Yamal. Schacht was a little puzzled.
"Confiscate all the property of the Hebrews, including, but not limited to, houses, bank deposits, and all cash, precious jewelry, and works of art.
The existing Hebrews were registered, and then they were gradually transported to West Prussia, the unclaimed lands.
Let them cultivate collectively, not only to feed themselves, but also to produce food to feed the officers and soldiers on the front line.
In this way, our treasury will be filled up at once. β
Adolf said with great confidence.
Yamal. Shacht's mouth was as open as a hippopotamus, and he never imagined that the prime minister would solve economic problems in this way.
This is lawful robbery, and lawful slavery.
But by this ......, some Hebrews had already intermarried with Germans. Still others have only a fraction of Hebrew blood! β
The Minister of Civil Affairs "grunted" and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
"Anyone of Hebrew blood is considered Hebrew.
As long as they were Hebrews, they carried original sin. Adolf waved his hand heroically.
"But ......, the implications are too wide.
Moreover, these people are from all walks of life, and once they are gone, it will affect ......! β
"Without the Hebrew banks, we would not have been able to issue war bonds."
"Nothing can make a difference, no matter who is missing in this world, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.
Other than that!
The industrial areas of Frankfurt and the Ruhr will be fully engaged in the production of new types of weapons.
This is handled by our new Minister of Industry, Hans.
Mainly in industrial areas, new types of weapons are produced.
Including rifles, new types of bullets, but also artillery shells, already rockets, anti-tank artillery and bazooka and so on.
These things are not only to equip the Imperial forces, but we also need to export them to other coalition countries.
We also have a series of stimulus packages that will be implemented gradually.
As long as we move forward with these plans, we will be able to get through the current difficulties.
Gentlemen, Germany will win! β
"Prime Minister, the issue of war bonds ......!" Yamal. Schacht asked helplessly.
The main problem now is war bonds, and if war bonds cannot be issued, it will not be easy to survive this period.
"War Bonds!
Yamal!
Do you think there is such a possibility that we will sell war bonds to all Germans? β
"All Germans?" Yamal. Schacht was surprised again.
In the past, war bonds were issued by Hebrew bankers.
Moreover, it is a back-up issuance, which means that the bonds that cannot be sold will be purchased by banks opened by Hebrews.
Now that the government is issuing it, can the people buy it?
"War bonds have a lot of interest, how can no one buy them.
I believe in the consciousness of the German people.
Without a strong Germany, they would not have been able to live a good life.
I decided that the government would be responsible for selling war bonds.
It must be explained to ordinary people that the interest on war bonds is very lucrative.
I took the lead and subscribed to the war bonds of a thousand Reichsmarks. β
After Adolf finished speaking, he glanced at the high-ranking officials and dignitaries present.
The leader took the lead, and even if the people below were unwilling, they could only swallow their anger.
"I subscribe for bonds of nine hundred Reichsmarks!"
"I also subscribe to nine hundred Reich marks!"
"I subscribe...... Eight...... Nine hundred Reichsmarks. β
Ministers, they all said a number, and that was nine hundred Reichsmarks.
These are guys who are old in officialdom, and naturally know the truth of not stealing the limelight from the leadership.
"Look!
Our table of people has made tens of thousands of Imperial marks.
The Germans should not be as stingy as the Hebrews. β
Adolf applauded with satisfaction, ignoring the bleeding in the hearts of these executives.
After harvesting a wave of leeks, the meeting ended quickly.
"Hey! Do not forget your promise to go to Yamal. Schacht's office, subscribing to war bonds.
Germans, you will not forget your generosity. β
"Yes!"
The ministers could only line up and follow Yamal. Shacht went to his office.
"They don't want to!" Kong Tingxun looked at the people who left, smiled and shook his head.
"From whose pockets will they be willing to take the money out?
Let them work for a few more days, and after a few days, replace them one by one.
The empire needs really talented people, like you! Hans. β
"You're in love!
In the present form, we can only strengthen the confidence of the people in us if we win the war, or at least one or two battles.
The reason why Frederick and Bismarck fell so quickly had a lot to do with their lack of achievements on the battlefield and even their successive defeats.
The people of any country will not like a leader who only talks rhetorically and does not lead everyone to victory.
This is true of Frederick and Bismarck, and it is true of you. β
"So what do you say?
For the Ming army, you know a lot more than me. β
"Although Richthofen was conservative and pedantic, I think his battle plan was pretty good.
At least we can push forward a long distance without too many casualties.
Being able to move forward is also a success for the current Prussian people. β
