Chapter 34 The Choice of the Head of State (Secondary
"Reinhard is about to succeed, he is about to become Germany's new hero. I will not allow, absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!" Ludendorff, who was almost out of control, faced a group of main members of the Nazi Party.
Get furious.
Facing this admiral, who although he was accomplished in military affairs but knew nothing about politics, Hitler frowned with disdain.
Mediation by the League of Nations has begun, American loans are about to enter Germany, and Britain has also hinted at military expansion in Germany.
Ludendorff could understand all these things, but he pretended not to see them. In other words, at this moment, Ludendorff had been blinded by his narrow jealousy and had his eyes covered.
Ludendorff's ambitions were too great! Hitler secretly commented on Ludendorff.
A shrewd person with appropriate ambition will be a good partner. If a person is stupid and does not know how to control his ambition, then only an idiot will cooperate with him without reservation! Hitler, I don’t want to be such an idiot
.
Compared with a mature politician like Albert, Ludendorff was a madman with unlimited ambition and a weak mind.
Now Ludendorff actually thought that Albert's tolerance towards him was a sign of respect for him!
One is a flexible president, and the other is an old general who doesn't know how to restrain himself. Hitler felt that it might be time for him to change a ship. Even if he couldn't get on Albert's new ship, he would at least get off Ludendorff's broken ship.
.
Fifteen years ago, Hitler was just a poor painter living on the streets of Vienna. Only with his natural political talent and eloquence in propaganda, he quickly gained a foothold in the Socialist Workers Party (the Nazi Party for short) and became its chairman.
Hitler had extremely high coaxing skills, and he knew how to satisfy his supporters. He promised more jobs to the working class, a larger market to the bourgeoisie, and provided the Junker nobility with an opportunity to restore their honor.
At the same time, Hitler also possessed the most basic quality of a politician - greed for power! He was not satisfied with just being the chairman of a small party.
For Hitler, since he has joined this game of power and has come to the forefront, he should continue this game.
The crisis Germany is facing now is the best opportunity for him to reach the pinnacle of power.
He has always tried to unite with opposition parties and senior officials. He united with the Junker aristocracy, the working class, and the bourgeoisie.
Hitler even united with the former Kaiser Wilhelm II who was far away in the Netherlands. (Historically, Hitler promised to let Wilhelm II return to China and ascend the throne after he came to power. For this purpose, Wilhelm II assisted Hitler with a total of 6 million marks. In addition, Wilhelm II
Shi also sent his youngest son to join Hitler's stormtroopers and became captain. However, Hitler, who had received the benefits, not only did not let Wilhelm II return to his country to become emperor, but also killed young Wilhelm of the stormtroopers on the Night of the Long Sword.
)
However, Hitler, who had now united many classes, found that perhaps the last thing he should do was to unite with Ludendorff's old army faction.
Looking at Ludendorff who was still shouting, Hitler shook his head. He winked at Göring and Röhm beside him, signaling that they were ready to leave.
Finally, when a secretary came to report to Ludendorff, Hitler and his party took the time to leave Ludendorff's verbal bombardment (in fact, later Hitlers often verbally bombarded his generals. This may be related to Ludendorff's verbal bombardment).
It must be related to his influence...)
On the way out, Röhm looked at Hitler worriedly, and Goering directly held Hitler's hand and asked: "Party leader, Ludendorff is about to join forces with several members of Congress to propose the removal of Army Commander-in-Chief Sickert.
.At this time, shouldn’t we please Ludendorff to avoid being affected?”
Seeing that Goering had already started, Röhm also answered: "That's right, party leader. The troops Sickert sent to defend the Ruhr Industrial Zone this time are called the SS of our Socialist Workers Party. I
It seems that Ludendorff is already wary of us because of this matter. Leader of the party, do you think you should take the time to explain it to him?"
Seeing the concerns expressed by his two comrades who had been following him, Hitler patiently explained: "Is it useful for Ludendorff to bribe congressmen to propose proposals at this time? No matter what happens with the war in the Ruhr Industrial Zone, Sickert has already helped
The government has gained a lot of benefits internationally. How can such a hero be removed from office?"
Seeing that his two comrades seemed to understand, Hitler continued: "As for the SS, I think we should probably get in touch. After all, they are all members of our Socialist Workers Party, and I, the leader of the party, also
You should be concerned about it." At this point, Hitler smiled confidently: "I am still very confident about my eloquence. I think I can have a good exchange with Colonel Reinhardt, who leads the SS."
Speaking of which, if Röhm and Göring still didn't understand Hitler's thoughts, they would have been with Hitler for so long.
The Socialist Workers Party is finally parting ways with Ludendorff! This time, both Reinhardt’s group and their group have completely broken with Ludendorff.
…
On January 19, 1923, the day after Ludendorff bribed the congressmen who had just proposed the removal of Sickert. The French-Belgian forces retreated. The SS troops from the Socialist Workers Party defeated the well-equipped SS troops, who were several times more powerful.
your own tormentor.
On the outskirts of the Ruhr, Steve, who had just defeated France's first general as if in a dream, stood in a position filled with tank wreckage and scattered with the remains of the two armies, reminiscing about every process of this war.
From the excitement of defeating the Belgian striker at the beginning, to the surprise that Pétain parachuted to the front line to command the French army. After that, Steve experienced the powerlessness brought by Pétain's calm command of the French army. Until Zhang Chengtian saw through Pétain.
When the tactics were used, Steve was relieved to attack the Belgian troops in the rear of the French army and liberate the frontline troops.
What happened next was much simpler. France's number one general stopped the large-scale attack and mobilized all armored forces to stabilize the rear.
Afterwards, following repeated mediations by the League of Nations, the French government ordered the operation to be terminated. The French troops withdrew from the Ruhr, Germany, and returned to the country.
Looking at the cheering SS officers and soldiers on the battlefield, Steve smiled proudly.
This is not a successful military exercise in peacetime, nor a successful diplomatic victory... This is a victory in war, a great victory finally purchased with blood, life and will.
Over the past week, Steve felt that he had been suppressed by Petain's commanding skills. The SS position was in danger of collapse more than once.
Steve believed that the reason why the defense line could hold up until now was not because of his superior command skills compared to Pétain, but because of the desperate resistance of the SS officers and soldiers and their tenacious defense of every inch of the position.
It was their tenacity and bravery that far surpassed that of the French army that earned them and Germany the right to sit on the battlefield and cheer as victors!
Steve now suddenly recalled the phone call from Petain. He had yelled at Petain on the phone that it was the glory and luck of the SS to experience this war.
Now it seems that maybe this is the reason why these SS officers and soldiers are so tenacious.
Many of them, after being kicked out of the "One Hundred Thousand National Defense Forces", may only be able to live a mediocre life in peacetime. They may change their jobs to become a hawker, a farmer, a worker or a person who waits all day long.
Ordinary employees who received a salary increase. However, they chose to join the SS and did not hesitate to shed blood on the battlefield and fight to the death in the name of a soldier.
Steve now feels that the footsteps of the SS may go far beyond that. The future era will still belong to this group of passionate people. And the blood they shed will water the most gorgeous flower of glory in Germany.
!
That afternoon, the name of the SS appeared in the ears of every household in Germany. What Steve said to Model before the war became a fact.
SS front-line commander Steve was awarded the Iron Cross First Class. He became the first recipient without a military rank.
Colonel Reinhardt, the commander-in-chief of the SS, was nominated by the Wehrmacht personnel department for promotion to Army Major General because of his meritorious service in planning the "Purple Plan", and was personally approved by the Wehrmacht Army Commander-in-Chief Sickert.
Sickert himself was praised by the German people as the new famous German general who was able to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away. The recall proposal planned by Ludendorff has since become a joke in the German political circles.
