Chapter 183 Hitler's New Deal IV
When the flames lit up above the German Parliament Building, Hessman was in charge of the Presidential Palace at No. 73 William Street, not too far away. His classmates at Grosshelifeld were very handsome and very fond of girls when they were young, Colonel Kurt von Tiperskich, who brought a whole regiment of soldiers to set guard at the Presidential Palace and the nearby Prime Minister's House (No. 77 William Street).
Colonel Tiperskich is also a figure from the Military Intelligence Bureau system and has a close relationship with Hessman. He is regarded as the backbone of the "Hessman's gang". When the compulsory military service system was restored, he was promoted to a colonel and sent to the Toxen Barracks to command an elite infantry regiment.
This is part of the "conspiracy" of Schletcher and Hessman. Taking advantage of the opportunity to preside over the expansion of the army, they placed many of their confidants in key positions. The garrisons around Berlin were even firmly controlled by them!
A few hours before the fire in Congress broke out, Colonel Tiperskich was ordered to lead his team to "pass" with all heavy weapons in the city of Berlin, a night marching exercise, and then temporarily mobilized to defend the Presidential Palace and the Prime Minister's Office. In fact, it was at the first time that the German power center and President Hindenburg, who had the power but had Alzheimer's disease, controlled the first time.
If Hitler and the Nazi Party were ready to use the chaos brought about by the "Parliamentary Arson Case" to attack the Juncker Group and make a night of swords. Then Schletcher and Hessman would immediately launch a coup, although this would cause uncontrollable consequences and even make Germany lose its ability to launch World War II, Hessman still had the determination to smash the plate.
Because he knew what kind of disaster would Germany suffer because of his mischief after Hitler established his personal dictatorship.
"Lieutenant General," said Oscar von Hindenburg's son, then quickly walked behind Hessman, who was watching the fire in the distance on the balcony of the Presidential Palace, holding a folder in his hand. "This is what you want... abolish the emergency decree in the Constitution that guarantees personal freedom!"
Germany is now a country with a law. Even if the Nazi Party-Junker Group wants to implement a rule of law, it must "according to law", which is why Hessman strongly advocates cooperation with the Nazi Party.
Because only Junkers and Nazis can get a majority in parliament, and the majority of parliament, plus the power of the Nazi Party at the grassroots level and Junker's force can firmly control Germany. Otherwise, the Junkers group will at most establish a very unstable oligarchy and must devote most of its energy to internal suppression.
To implement internal suppression, the problem will not be solved by relying solely on the assassination and kidnapping of the Stasi agent. After all, Stasi is a military intelligence department and cannot do whatever he wants in spies involving internal politics in Germany, otherwise he will become a public enemy of the political circle.
Therefore, when Stasi's spies were dispatched on a large scale, they must also be based on the Weimar Constitution. According to this constitution, the president has the right to issue an order to temporarily stop the implementation of the provisions in the constitution that protect personal freedom when the country is in a state of emergency.
What Oscar von Hindenburg now gets Hessmann the presidential decree signed by his father President Hindenburg to stop protecting citizens' personal freedom.
"Thank you, Oscar, you have helped a lot this time." Hessman took the folder handed over by Oscar von Hindenburg with both hands and said thank you.
"Haha, this is what I should do," Oscar von Hindenburg laughed. "You and Kurt ask me for help, how can I refuse? We are all our own people."
Of course, we can't refuse! Hessmann obtained 2,000 hectares of land for Oscar von Hindenburg in Hannover and gave him 1 million marks of stocks from the "Hessmann Fund".
The economic promotion company that monopolizes the Soviet barter trade has made a lot of money over the years. While paying most of the expenses of the Stasi agency, it also saved up a few hundred million marks of secret funds to establish the "Hersman Special Fund". This "special fund" is under the control of Hesman, and is mainly used by him to buy politicians and distribute "special benefits" to his subordinates. Everyone in the "Hersman's gang" received a large amount of cash or other prizes from their boss, that is, Hesman.
"Friedrich," Hessman opened the folder, confirmed it, and called his adjutant Paulus to his side, and then took out a copy of the order signed by Hindenburg (there are two orders in total, one for the Prime Minister's Office and one for the General Staff) and handed it to him, "bring it to the Prime Minister's Office to minister Schletcher."
After the Capitol was burned, Hitler immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting. Schletcher, the Secretary of Defense, is now attending the meeting at the Prime Minister's Office at 73 William Street. In fact, he was waiting for the order signed by Hindenburg.
Once the order was received, Hitler could issue an order to ban the Bolshevik Party, and then send military, police and stormtroopers to seize the Bolshevik Party headquarters in various places and arrest the Bolshevik Party members.
...
"Hurry, burn the files quickly, burn them all!"
In the office of the Third International in Berlin, at this time, the chimney of the fireplace was rolling black smoke, which was burning documents and telegrams! This office was semi-public, and there was no sign to hang out to sing the red flag, but politicians in the city of Berlin knew where this place was.
Therefore, once the enemy raises the "butcher knife", they will not be able to find a target. After the fire broke out in the Capitol, many underground workers of the Third International lurking in Berlin called "code-word phone calls" to the Third International Office and reported that a large number of National Defense Army soldiers (including the Wrathful SS) had entered Berlin.
These National Wehrmachts and SSs are definitely not here to save the fire in the Capitol, they must have come to arrest people! They may also attack the Third International office in Berlin.
Moreover, the secret sentry was arranged around the Third International Office, and the news that the military police and spies had been found to have blocked the surrounding roads.
It is obvious that the enemy will soon rush to catch people!
Natalie Lesskaya was standing at the window at this time, looking at the empty streets under the moonlight and street lights. She guessed that Hessman did not want to break up with the Soviet Union. So his spies and military police must be waiting, waiting for Dimitrov's men to destroy all the evidence of destruction, and then rushed in and arrest people.
This shows that I and the comrades of the Third International are not in danger...at least there will be no danger in Germany.
But what about after being released back to the Soviet Union? People like me probably had to go directly to "Sorovizky" to work and reform?
Just as Natalie was thinking about it, the military and police in the brigade had already rushed downstairs of the Third International Representative Office...
"I am a member of Congress, Telman, I am protected by the Constitution. What power do you have to arrest me?"
At the same time, Ernst Telman had just returned to his home. Before he could call his comrades and invite them to come to convene a meeting, Stasi's spies broke into the door, knocking Telman's bodyguards to the ground, and surrounding the Bolshevik leader himself.
"I'm Ernst Telman! Do you know what you're doing?" Telman asked in an angry voice.
He had thought that the enemy might raise the butcher knife, but his identity as a member of parliament and the rule of law and democracy in the Weimar Republic over the years still gave him a false sense of security.
"Mr. Telman," said to him with a gun in his hand, a officer Stasi, smilingly, "We are here to arrest you! Because your people set fire to the Capitol and attempted to overthrow the legitimate government, they have endangered national security. According to Article 48 of the Constitution, the President issued a decree to suspend the provisions of the constitution for protecting personal freedom. The cabinet also made a decision to ban the German Bolshevik Party... You, the November sinner, now I want to arrest you. If you want to resist, I will ask for it!"
"No, I will cherish my life," said Telmann with a sneer, "not because of fear of death, but to expose the conspiracy of Hitler, Schletcher and Hessman in court! They will not succeed for too long, and the German people will soon see their true face!"
...
The Third International Office is also arresting people. However, the scene is much more peaceful, and the Soviet-German cooperation is still continuing. Both the Soviet Union and Germany need each other very much. Criminalizing the Bolshevik Party of Germany is a necessary means to implement Hitler's new policy, and it is completely unnecessary to break up with the Soviet Union.
Sending people to seize the Third International office in Germany is a complete convenience for the Third International organization. In the eyes of Hitler and Hessman, it is a tool for the Soviet government to disrupt foreign countries and be able to drive it away from Germany.
However, even if you drive away, you can't hurt your kindness. Hessman is a person like Dimitrov who is unwilling to come. Unless he is cruel, he will not be scared. If you want to go to court to debate, isn't it a boring thing? Who are he afraid of when he is reasonable in 1902?
So he issued an order to Lieutenant Colonel Stokehouse, who led the team to arrest people, to "protect" the friends of the Third International "being politely". In addition, Natalie Lesskaya must be detained and detained in the Caesarhof Hotel alone.
"Ms. Lesinskaya," Stockhausen immediately smiled and shook her hand. "Today's scene is really embarrassing, but I promise you that we will not hurt anyone... The current measures are just to implement the new policy." (To be continued.)
