History books will record the German victory on January 19, 1923, and newspapers will report on the carnival in Berlin on January 20, 1923.
All the pubs were packed with revelers, and all kinds of fine wine were in short supply. People poured into the streets, holding high the German tricolor flag. The factory announced a full-day paid holiday, and was originally preparing to demonstrate against the Wehrmacht's non-deployment of workers.
Suddenly, he became the organizer of the victory parade.
The Gestapo Propaganda Department, which was well prepared, sent newspapers that had been triggered in advance to the streets. The title was "The youngest major general in German history - the most successful organizer of the Socialist Workers Party - the best of the SS."
Commander - God's best gift to Germany".
The long title took up a full third of the newspaper's front page after being bolded. However, this long-winded layout did not have any impact on the sales of the newspaper. On the contrary, due to the newspaper controlled by the Gestapo - Social Work Newspaper,
It was promoted as the "newspaper of the Socialist Workers' Party" and was of the same origin as the heroic SS. With the support of the people, the sales of the newspaper were so high that they far exceeded the expectations of the Gestapo Propaganda Department.
For a time, Zhang Chengtian's heroic deeds were also made into a special feature by the social worker newspaper. Operation Rainbow became Zhang Chengtian's first personal masterpiece. In the process of quelling the KAP riot, Zhang Chengtian was even described as a prophet who predicts the enemy beforehand.
(In fact, Zhang Chengtian himself does not think this is an exaggeration. After all, he understands that period of history, and there is nothing wrong with the prophet's statement to him).
And this time, all the credit for the victory in the Ruhr battle was attributed to Zhang Chengtian alone. The "Purple Plan" was immediately included in major military weekly magazines to add fuel to the fire.
It has to be said that a big factor in Zhang Chengtian's sudden fame is that too much group credit was attributed to him personally in the publicity. Of course, this is a common publicity method. Many famous celebrities in history were successful because they were not close to him.
There are no various group contributions, but in order to promote a sufficiently important role model, these contributions are often shared exclusively by a lucky person.
If there is a hero that the people can talk about, why would the Weimar government not do it? The German people have experienced too much suffering and pressure, and they need a hero and a psychological sustenance. Driven by the times,
Zhang Chengtian was lucky enough to become this hero. (Originally, such a role was played by Hitler in history).
Countless people, led by "representatives" arranged by the Gestapo long ago, chanted the slogan "Long live the Socialist Workers' Party, long live Germany". Many slogans that had been prepared in advance were waved back and forth. Because the Gestapo had arranged for "Long Live the Socialist Workers' Party, Long Live Germany".
This kind of preparation, this simple slogan banner spread out by a piece of red thin cloth was printed in large quantities, a million sets. Now it seems that the effect is very good, and it has played an excellent publicity role. But at the beginning, this
It was not a small sum of money for the Gestapo. If Ross had not firmly believed that Zhang Chengtian could bring victory to the SS, so many banners and a large number of "representatives" would not have been placed.
But now, the Social Work Newspaper has made its first pot of gold. More importantly, the Social Work Newspaper has become famous through this, which will play a greater role in controlling the direction of public opinion for the Gestapo in the future.
Among the people who participated in the carnival, there were also many old soldiers who had been deployed out of the army by the "One Hundred Thousand National Defense Forces". They did not complain about being laid off by the army, because they were the ones who knew the difficulties of the army best. However, watching the motherland helplessly
Being oppressed but unable to do anything, no one can avoid feeling aggrieved.
"Maybe it's time to join the SS," Reed, who had served as a battalion commander in the old army, thought to himself.
Just the day before yesterday, a young man who had served as a company commander under Reed called him. On the phone, the former company commander proudly said that he was now a centenarian of the SS.
.He was present in this exciting battle to defend the Ruhr.
Reed was proud of his former subordinate and proud that Germany had such a force as the SS.
Thinking of this, Reed wiped away the excited tears from the corners of his eyes. The familiar German soldiers in his impression were back again! Decades and hundreds of years ago, when Germany faced desperate situations again and again, it was this kind of soldiers.
, protected this country!
Reed made up his mind to sign up for the SS tomorrow and join this glorious collective. He didn't want to have to stand aside and watch when others were making history next time.
The next day, SS recruitment points sprung up in various provinces of Germany. At the same time, registration offices for the Socialist Workers Party were also opened on the streets of major squares.
Young men wearing black SS uniforms with fine tailoring and exquisite accessories were sent to various Socialist Workers Party registration points to attract people.
Although most of these SS soldiers have not been to the Ruhr battlefield, the people will not investigate carefully. The people only know that the SS soldiers on the Ruhr battlefield wore this kind of chic and avant-garde uniform. This is enough
It caught their attention.
The busy registration office of the Socialist Workers Party was crowded with people from all walks of life who came to sign up after hearing the news. Some of them were just ordinary workers, some were simple farmers, some were patriotic officials, and there were even many members of the National Defense Forces.
Officers and soldiers took the time to come and sign up.
At the same time, there is another group of people who are also opening registration points for the Socialist Workers Party. Unfortunately, there are no SS troops "standing guard" and these registration points appear deserted, unlike those with handsome young men "standing guard" from the SS.
The registration points are in stark contrast.
At this time, Hitler was inspecting a registration point where Göring was in charge. Hitler, who originally thought he could take advantage of the situation to develop the Socialist Workers Party, suddenly realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
Although Hitler is now in the party and has not received any challenge to his current status. However, Hitler is clearly aware that a large part of the party membership list does not identify with himself as the party leader.
Hitler couldn't understand why Reinhard, the youngest general in German history, wanted to infiltrate a small party called the Socialist Workers' Party. Judging from the methods Reinhard had shown before, he could stand on his own.
One faction does not need to borrow any power from this small party in its hands.
Hitler, who thought over and over but couldn't get an answer, sighed helplessly. The registration point that he thought would be very popular now has only a few people coming to ask questions. Without exception, their questions are probably about "This place is really really good."
Is this the registration point of the Socialist Workers Party? I heard that there will be SS soldiers standing guard at all formal registration points, why don’t we see them here?”
Just as Hitler was considering whether to send a few of his cronies to pretend to be SS soldiers, he suddenly saw several SS soldiers in black uniforms rushing towards him, led by an official in a black suit.
This is the registration point.
"Could it be that the other party cannot accept me as the nominal party leader's registration site?" Seeing a group of SS troops in black uniforms getting closer and closer to his side, Hitler began to nervously consider the words for the next negotiation.
After all, including one official, a total of five people in black uniforms were walking towards him, which would make anyone feel nervous.
"Are you Mr. Hitler?" The official's polite opening remarks made Hitler feel at ease. It seemed that the other party had no intention of doing anything to him.
"Yes, I am Adolf Hitler." Hitler, who was recognized, did not hide anything and answered openly.
I saw several SS soldiers behind the official. After hearing this answer, they immediately gave Hitler a 45-degree hand-raising military salute stipulated by the SS.
Hitler was almost startled by the sudden surprise. Before he could think about it, he heard the leading official saying to him: "Party leader, Major General Reinhard heard that you don't have enough manpower, so he sent a hundred SS soldiers."
Come to help. Now they should have been assigned to various registration points arranged by you."
