While the war was raging in the country and wars were everywhere, things were calm in Germany in the Western Hemisphere. After the Nazi Party came to power, this country showed a prosperous scene.
The German Army Academy is located on the outskirts of the capital Berlin. The famous military theorist Clausewitz served as the principal of the school for twelve years. After the First World War, Germany was disarmed due to its defeat, and the school was closed.
In the mid-to-late 1900s, with the election of Hindenburg as President and the weakening of supervision by the Allied Powers, the school quietly resumed class after class. As of this year, except for a few majors that have not yet been restored, the school has returned to its former glory and is once again in use.
The sacred duty of the German officer's cradle.
The bell rang for the last class in the morning. Yin Jinan packed up his textbooks, smiled and nodded to the friendly greetings of the classmates around him, and then walked out of the classroom quickly.
It has been more than seven months since they arrived in Germany. Yin Jinan and his wife have gradually adapted to life in Germany. Especially Duan Xiner, whose belly is gradually bulging, which makes Yin Jinan extremely happy. He specially invited servants and doctors to take care of him.
Married for 28 years till now,
It was during this period of living in Germany that the two of them had the most comfortable life. They were no longer burdened with military affairs, did not need to deal with all kinds of intrigues in the officialdom, and did not need cumbersome social interactions. Instead, they just lived and studied step by step, and lived a warm life.
And comfortable.
Since graduating from a language school two months ago and becoming proficient in reading German and conversing, Yin Jinan has arranged his time as he pleases - attending classes at the Army Academy, looking up information in the academy library, and discussing strategies with experienced instructors.
tactics and sand table exercises, and discussed national affairs with the trained army cadets.
The international situation... Yin Jinan feels that he has gained a lot, and every day is extremely fulfilling! However, whenever he is free, he can't help but think of the Anjia Army and the southern Sichuan region that he participated in creating, of his comrades who have shared weal and woe, and of the
His eldest brother An Yi has taken good care of him since he entered Huangpu School.
Yin Jinan's home in Berlin is about five hundred meters away from the Military Academy. It is a two-story Gothic-style luxury villa covering an area of about two acres. There is a wide lawn in front of the house, and a swimming pool and a garden behind the house.
For the convenience of travel, Yin Jinan bought a Mercedes-Benz sedan, but he kept the car in the garage on weekdays and only used it when he visited some generals of the National Defense Force.
When Yin Jinan returned home from the military academy on foot, Deputy Chief Zhan Zheng greeted him, handed him an invitation, and said excitedly: "Miss Christa Schroeder from the President's Residence called and the President will decorate his house tomorrow morning.
We met the general in his new home and had lunch together! After the phone call, the Headquarters specially sent a colonel of the Wehrmacht to send an invitation letter, which shows that the German side attaches great importance to the general."
Yin Jinan took the invitation, read it carefully, nodded and said: "General Weitzel just mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that the head of state is currently studying Germany-China relations and may receive me. I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Yes! My eldest brother is still very good. As early as 31 years after his visit to Germany, he predicted that the Nazi Party might take power in Germany. He has been trying his best to make friends with us, and now we finally have a good result."
During the few months in Germany, although Yin Jinan paid more attention to the progress and innovation of military technology, military affairs and politics have always been difficult to separate. Therefore, he still learned from the personnel changes in the military academy and the series of changes in the German army.
, discovered the great changes taking place in German society, became interested in the history of the rise of the Nazi Party and Hitler, which dominated the German power, and consulted a lot of information.
In Yin Jinan's impression, Hitler was indeed an unparalleled genius. He and his Nazi party entered the coalition cabinet on January 30 last year. At the beginning, the Nazi party was only in the minority in the new government.
Among the eleven positions in the cabinet, they only occupied three. In addition to Hitler serving as Prime Minister, Flick of the Nazi Party served as Minister of the Interior, Goering served as the Minister of the Interior, and also served as the Minister of the Interior of Prussia. Several important
All the money was given to conservative elements.
It was under this extremely unfavorable situation that Hitler skillfully used his masterful hands and through a series of dazzling layouts and actions, he defeated all political opponents, eliminated internal hidden dangers, and established an unbreakable foundation for rule.
In order to eliminate the Communist Party and other democratic parties that were very influential among the people in one fell swoop and remove the obstacles to the implementation of Nazism in Germany, Hitler carefully planned the arson attack on the Reichstag and induced President Hindenburg to sign the "Protection of the People and the Country" decree. This
This decree not only temporarily suspended the implementation of the seven articles guaranteeing personal and civil liberties in the constitution, canceling freedom of speech, press, demonstration, association, etc., but also authorized Hitler to take over all powers of the states when necessary, and to impose certain so-called "serious"
"Those who disturb the peace" are sentenced to death.
In this way, Hitler could legally suppress and arrest his opponents at will. In a short period of time, a large number of Communists and many leaders of the Social Democratic Party were arrested and killed.
After the parliamentary election on March 5 last year, the Nazi Party received 43.8% of the votes and the National People's Party received 8% of the votes. The two ruling parties received more than half of the total votes, which was enough to ensure that they would continue to form the government.
However, since they did not obtain a 2/3 majority, the Nazi Party and the National People's Party were unable to
The law guarantees the right to pass legislation that is extremely important to them. So eighteen days later, Hitler used both soft and hard tactics to finally obtain the authorization law he requested from President Hindenburg. With it, Hitler had
If you lose the legislative power, you can put aside the Congress and its members and prevent them from asking about it.
The Authorization Act was the so-called "legal" last step that Hitler took on the road to power, and it was also the basis for establishing his "Führer State." After Hitler had this Authorization Act, he promulgated a series of laws and regulations. He passed the abolition of the state
The four steps of establishing first-level administrative districts, outlawing political organizations other than the Nazi Party, destroying opposition within the Nazi movement, and controlling the economy and culture enabled further "integration" in all fields.
On July 14 last year, Hitler announced: The only political party in Germany is the Nazi Party! From this day on, any organizational combination of other political parties or any rallies or demonstrations will be punished with hard labor. January 3 this year
On the 10th, the first anniversary of Hitler's inauguration as Prime Minister, he promulgated the "National Reconstruction Act", officially canceling the state's
"People's Assembly", the sovereignty of each state is transferred to the country, the state government is subordinate to the national government, and the state governor is under the jurisdiction of the minister of interior of the national government. The preamble of the law declares that this law was "passed by a unanimous vote of the Congress." This is true.
Because by this time, except for the Nazi Party, all political parties and social groups in Germany had been wiped out.
On June 30, through the "Night of the Long Knives" event planned by Himmler and executed by Heydrich, Hitler used the SA coup as an excuse to eradicate the SA leader Röhm and the former Prime Minister Schleich. The former military intelligence
Bureau Chief Bredow and a large number of important officials, and used this to vigorously suppress and weaken the opposition within the Nazi Party, gained the support of the Wehrmacht and President Hindenburg, and consolidated its own power.
In this way, within more than a year after he came to power, Hitler basically ended his top-down power seizure activities and established the fascist totalitarian rule of the Nazi Party's one-party dictatorship.
The elderly President Hindenburg died of illness on August 1, which provided Hitler with an excellent opportunity to finally concentrate power in his own hands. Hitler immediately promulgated a law to combine the two positions of president and chancellor into one.
Ask the military, as well as judges and officials to swear allegiance to him personally.
As the head of state and chancellor, Hitler has now become the sole ruler of the German state power, integrating all political and social institutions except the army and the church. When Hitler purged the country politically, he also brought the entire economy under the control of the state.
control, adapt to political needs, and implement a track of forced production to be more conducive to arms expansion and war preparations.
After achieving a comprehensive political victory, Hitler decided to start putting his plan into practice. However, the huge national and military construction plan required continuous financial support. However, at this time, Germany was still carrying heavy debts. How could it complete its plan?
Great ideal?
Yin Jinan guessed that when Hitler visited him this time, he probably wanted to find ways to cooperate with the Anyi Group, which has close cooperation with the German industrial and commercial circles. After all, Yin Jinan, as the second-in-command of the Anjia Army, has a huge influence on the situation in China. Now southwest China
The development of the region attracted the attention of the whole world, and Hitler could not give up this opportunity.
Yin Jinan pondered for a while and asked: "I wonder if anyone else is present at this meeting? Is the topic discussed about military or political matters, or something else?"
Deputy Chief Zhan Zheng thought about it carefully and said with some uncertainty: "According to Miss Schroeder, secretary of the head of state, the Nazi Party Propaganda Minister Goebbels, Army Commander-in-Chief Feng.
Fritsch, Defense Minister von Blomberg and Admiral Rich Raeder will accompany the reception. In addition, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, President of the German Central Bank, and Alderman, the heir of the Krupp family.
Fred Krupp, a representative of the Siemens family, will also attend the luncheon at noon. As for the specific topics, they were not mentioned, but I think they may all be involved."
Yin Jinan laughed: "This list of people accompanying the party includes officials from the party, government, and military, as well as people from the business community. One look at it and you can tell that the Germans are not interested in drinking anymore. It seems that Hitler's head of state is not interested in the current situation in Germany."
Southern Sichuan is not satisfied with its market share and wants to further expand its influence in order to earn huge profits. Now Southern Sichuan and Southern Yunnan are really a mouth-watering cake! Although Germany's economy has improved in the past two years
, but if you want to repay Ying
On the basis of the huge compensation payments imposed on Germany by the United States, France and other countries, it will definitely be stretched to develop the national defense and military industry calmly. No wonder Hitler and his government want to target our Anjia Army... However, this is indeed
It's a good opportunity to get in touch with German high-level officials. Many economic, military and scientific and technological cooperation can be proposed, and it may also involve many practical issues... Well, I have to send a telegram to the country, and my brother will make a decision.
.”
…
An Yi had just come out of Chiang Kai-shek's office in Nanchang when he received the overseas telegram from Yin Jinan.
After taking the telegram from Shen Fengdao and reading it under the afterglow of the setting sun, An Yi did not dare to neglect and quickly sent someone to call for a communication vehicle on standby in Lao Nanchang and Nanjing. He called back to inquire first. Regarding Yin Jinan's current situation, after learning that Duan Xiner was three months pregnant, he quickly congratulated her and gave her careful instructions before convening people to discuss countermeasures.
