On March 30, 1931, 41-year-old Adolf Hitler, a homeless man from Vienna, was recognized as the German Chancellor by the old and foolish Hindenburg.

That night, the whole of Berlin was in full bloom!

Countless people, regardless of the severe cold of March night (March in Berlin is still cold), walked on the streets of Berlin, holding torches, and men were wearing military uniforms of various styles - some were old German troops, some were brown stormtrooper uniforms - lined up in a strict formation, singing military songs and German national anthem passed down from the Empire era, walking on various broad and bustling streets of Berlin. Women, children and elderly people put on their best clothes, stood on both sides of the street, making cheering sounds, as if welcoming the triumphant warriors!

"I didn't expect the children to capture so many Russian prisoners..."

Hindenburg muttered in an old voice, and then found that Rudendolf and two German generals he didn't know were looking at him with strange eyes.

"First Military Chief, did I say something wrong?"

Hearing Hindenburg's question, Rudendolf replied with a laugh and cry: "Oh, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you are not wrong, I am wrong."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, just win." Hindenburg smiled, then pointed at General Schletcher and Lieutenant General Hessman and asked, "Who are they?"

"This is General Schletcher, he is the Secretary of Defense... This is Lieutenant General Heinsberg Hessman, and he is the Deputy Chief of Staff."

"Deputy Chief of Staff, Minister of Defense..." President Hindenburg blinked and tried to recall when His Majesty the German Emperor appointed these two people to such important positions. Major General Oscar von Hindenburg came to the old president and helped him leave the balcony of the presidential palace.

Ludendolf looked at the back of his old boss and sighed heavily, "I was fine last year, but why are you confused now?"

Last year was the year of the presidential election. Hindenburg's previous term started in 1923 and ended in 1930. Originally, Hindenburg did not want to be re-elected, but Hitler jumped out to run for president. He also held up a lot of enthusiasm and booked a plane to wander around Germany. The Nazi Party also printed one million propaganda posters, eight million pamphlets and 12 million special issues of the party newspaper made great news.

In the campaign propaganda, he also publicly shouted the slogans of "dictatorship", "anti-Semitism", "torn the Treaty of Versailles" and "eliminate German Marxism".

This is actually a campaign tactic, not to elect a president, but to create an influence and polish your signature so that everyone who is dissatisfied with the status quo knows that the Nazi Party has a way!

As for the throne of president, Hitler also knew that he could not be elected - because Schletcher and Hessmann were not allowed! Moreover, Hitler's view was too radical, and although there were many people who supported it, not many people were willing to hand over the country to him immediately (in this time and space, Germany's economic situation in 1930 was much better than in history).

However, Rudendolph and Schletcher were stunned by Hitler's repeated campaigns and publicity activities. He believed that the combination of Rudendolph and Franz von Baben could not win Hitler. To be on the safe side, Hindenburg and Rudendolph still wanted to attack together and seek re-election.

But no one expected that when he saw President Hindenburg was in 1931, he developed symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in a while, and he was confused and clear. It seemed that he was unlikely to finish his term (until 1937).

"General, if the president cannot perform his duties, you can succeed him according to law. The entire National Defense Force will firmly support you!" Hessman said to Rudendolf in a comforting tone. Rudendolf seemed to die in 1937, just completing the remaining term of presidency in Hindenburg.

However, what to do with the presidential election in 1937 is indeed a big and small problem. This position cannot be put into Hitler's hands no matter what!

"Germany, Germany. above everything else,

Better than all things in the world;

Whenever, in order to protect and defend,

Brothers stand together forever.

From Maas to Murmur,

From Esch to Belt,

Germany, Germany, above everything else…”

The high-pitched "Song of Germany" came, and the parade crowd was passing through the square downstairs of the Presidential Palace. Thousands of them were holding torches, as if countless flowing light spots were gathering in a river of fire. They were surging and unstoppable.

"It's really neat. Most of the National Wehrmachts trained in the barracks are not as good as them!"

Rudendolf sighed. Schletcher said with some concern: "I always think these people are a bit dangerous. Hitler might use his prestige among the people to turn himself into a person like Mussolini?"

"Maybe in the future, but he doesn't have that ability at the moment!"

Hessman hugged his arms, looked at the city that seemed to be boiling in front of him, and smiled: "Most of the people are actually staying at home. They are just watching the Nazis and doing nothing.

It is undeniable that the Nazi Party is very good at agitation and propaganda, and it will keep people silent... We did not do these things well in 1918! We are separated from the people, and the Nazi Party stands with some people. They can incite all these people and use their strength to shut up the other people. But it is too early to get the support of the majority... It is too early for us Germans to fool us. We Germans are not as easy as the Russians. They must first solve the economic problems facing Germany, and then completely tear the Treaty of Versailles to truly unify the German nation."

The Nazi Party has really done a lot of things in history. Six years before the outbreak of the World War, Hitler's government combined the "planned economy" and "private ownership" well, and applied various policies to stimulate economic growth to the extreme - later generations said that he "borrowed foreign debt" to grow. In fact, Hitler's regime relied on printing money to invest, depriving Jews and forcing "cartelization" to promote rapid economic growth.

Moreover, while economic growth, full employment and social welfare were quite good, Hitler miraculously completed the basic unification of Germany. Before seizing the land occupied by Poland, Hitler used peaceful means to make Germany expand in large numbers. He achieved something that the Second Empire in history did not accomplish with force.

It was precisely because of this series of political, economic and diplomatic miracles that Hitler established great prestige. However, what really made him a god was the momentum in the early stages of World War II.

"If we want to limit Hitler, we can't let him do everything." Hessman had already planned it - he had been planning it for more than ten years and had already planned it.

Hessman took a breath: "The damn Treaty of Versailles is ours! Our army will tear it up by itself... In fact, we have already started. Restoring the compulsory military service system is to tear the beginning of the Treaty of Versailles! As for Prime Minister Hitler... He is a democratically elected prime minister and a socialist, and should do something that reassures Britain and France."

...

"What? Do something that reassures Britain and France?"

In the Prime Minister's Office on William Street, the excited expression could not be concealed on Hitler's face. The throne that once belonged to Bismarck is now his former Vienna homeless man.

He must have not been asleep all night. When he met Lieutenant General Hessman, the visiting Deputy Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hessman, his eyes were covered with blood, but his spirit was still very excited.

"The Defense Forces want to act as evil people and let the government be a good person?"

Hitler understood what Hessman meant after a moment of thinking. The farce of the French accusing Germany in the League of Nations was not yet available. Although he could not get any results, it was not the time to fall apart with the French.

So someone must come out to repair the relationship. The evil National Defense Forces have done it, so Hitler can only be a good person.

Hitler thought for a while, nodded, and said in a calm tone: "Of course! This is the mission of being the prime minister. The current situation in Germany is not enough to have a quarrel with Britain and France. Yes, some people are going to ease, and some are responsible for tearing down the evil Treaty of Versailles. But..."

He paused, as if in great difficulty. However, Hessman knew that Hitler was pretending, and Beryan's accusations were small. Even British Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald did not respond much - this was the Prime Minister of the Workers' Party, the leader of a national coalition government, and was busy saving the collapsed British economy. If sanctions on Germany are good for the British economy, MacDonald would not be interested in taking over the hot potato.

Therefore, French Foreign Minister Beren is now looking for a step down. Can a legal government elected by the people become a step forward for France?

But now Hitler is the German Chancellor! He is no longer the leader of the opposition party, so he naturally cannot be directed by the deputy chief of staff of the military.

"Ludwig, how do you view the Jewish issue now?" Hitler changed his tone and mentioned the Jewish issue.

Jews were not popular in almost all European countries - this was not invented by the Germans, but a tradition left over from the Roman Empire. As for the reason, it is probably impossible to explain it in three days and three nights. There are both religious and economic aspects, and there are many conspiracy theories related to Jews.

The Second German Empire was originally one of the few European countries that did not expel the Jewish people, but in the Weimar Republic, Jews had become unpopular. Especially after the last super inflation, many bankrupt Germans suddenly found that there seemed to be a bit too many wealthy Jews around them!

The disaster that made "all people" poor not only did not affect the Jews, but also made many Jews become rich. (To be continued.)
