Chapter 818 Hitler and his Germany

Wang Hengyue, the great independent dictator in the East, began to restore the sacred territory of the Central Kingdom and regain the country. And an independent dictator in the West also quietly appeared!

"Wearing a swastika helmet on our head, wearing black, white and red armbands on our arms, we are stormtroopers. How resounding our name is!"

In the midst of this song, Adolf Hitler's stormtroopers appeared in Germany!

In the autumn of 1922, Adolf Hitler's activities aroused the interest of the Allies. At the suggestion of the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, the United States assigned Truman Smith, a student at Yale University, a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, and the deputy military attaché in Berlin, to Munich

.

"To make an estimate of the strength of the supposedly growing nationalist movement," Smith was directed to meet with Chipotle, "to assess his character, personal abilities and weaknesses..."

To make an estimate, he will also make an investigation into the strength and potential of the German National Socialist Volunteer Party.

More specifically, Smith had to try to find answers to the following questions: "Is it possible for Bavaria to declare independence from Germany? Is there a danger of another Communist uprising in Munich? Hitler's

Is it possible for the Socialist Volunteer Party to seize political power in Bavaria? Is the 7th Division of the Wehrmacht stationed in Bavaria completely loyal to the Empire, or is it loyal to Berlin and Bavaria respectively? If there is a right-wing faction

Or if the Zuo Faction causes rebellion or rebellion, can it be used to suppress them?"

Captain Smith arrived in Munich before noon on November 15.

After settling in at the Marienbad Hotel, he immediately went to the U.S. Consulate on Ledererstrasse and met with acting consul Robert Murphy. The 28-year-old Murphy told Smith that Bavaria's new general consul "was not a

He is a tough person..." because he is just "a tool..." of former President Rikar. He said that the power of the Communist Party of China, the leader of the Communist Party of China, is growing rapidly, and although its leader "is a

A simple adventurer..." but still worthy of "a real character tapping into underlying dissatisfaction...".

Hitler understood the psychological state of the Bavarians, but whether it was "enough to lead the national movement in Germany..." This is still questionable.

Over the next few days, he held interviews with army generals, government officials, the successor to the throne Lupp Kocht, the editor of a liberal newspaper, and the Mexist writer von Schubenner Richter.

Conversation. Schubenner Richter was a close friend of Rosenberg and had begun to exert considerable influence on Hitler. He assured Smith that the party's anti-Semitism was "purely propaganda."

Afterwards, he invited Smith to visit the SA parade in front of the party's new headquarters.

"They are indeed strong," Smith recorded in the hotel room that night. "1,200 strong men I have never seen before were carrying the flag of the old emperor's country, wearing bright red 1L! Yu armbands, and

Goose-stepping, Xigoterlu walked past him and accepted his review. After the review, Xigoterer gave a speech...and then shouted: 'Let the troublemaker die!', and other slogans. People went crazy.

Cheers. I have never seen such a scene in my life."

In early 1923, Britain and France had a quarrel within the "Reparations Commission", and the British delegation withdrew from the Commission. This gave France an opportunity to use force to solve the reparations issue. January 11

On Japan, the French army and the French army entered the Ruhr area on the pretext that Germany had not fulfilled its obligations.

This action not only aroused the nationalist spirit across Germany, but also accelerated the devaluation of the mark. In less than two weeks, the ratio of the mark to the US dollar fell from 6,750:1 to 50,000:1.

For a trip to Berlin, the Weimar government's train fare payment to the "Guarantee Committee" required "several Daewoo paper baskets filled with 20-mark banknotes, which were carried from the office by seven office workers.

Carry it to the train station...". Now, it requires 49 people to lift it.

The occupation of the Ruhr area, inflation, and increasing unemployment not only broadened the basis of nationalism, but also brought more followers to Hitler.

Hitler disdainfully cooperated with other parties, including the "Socialist Majority", and organized a protest rally on his own. He also announced that he would hold a protest meeting on January 27, the day of the German National Congress.

On the first birthday of the Communist Party of China, the leader of the family association, a volunteer, held 7 public gatherings.

Although the Bavarian police chief had already informed him that these gatherings would be banned, Hitler was not afraid at all. He shouted that if the police wanted to open fire, then so be it.

Just sit in the first row.

As expected, he kept his promise. When that day came, he got on his driver's seat and hurried from one venue to another.

When Higurt Hulu strode into the aisle, the whole audience stood up and shouted "Long live my life!"

The next day, they once again ignored the police restraint order. 6,000 stormtroopers came to Masfold with flags. They stood in the snow, shivering with cold!

Some people wore uniform ski hats, coffin-colored jackets, and leggings, while others wore businessmen's uniforms. They carried various flags, 1L! Yu also had big and small ones. Although this group of people were dressed in a variety of ways,

But after the command to stand at attention, they stood upright one by one, as if they were the Kaiser's elite division. Although the police were prepared to cause trouble, there was no chaos. In fact, during the past two days, the police gathered here

It was not shocking at all. There were no incidents of violent violence or public harassment, but the repercussions were significant. Hitler's contempt for the police made many neutral leaders

The opposition fell to his side and drove the students of the University of Munich to follow a more radical path. More importantly, it reduced the prestige of the Bavarian government.

In the first serious confrontation with the local government, the winner was Higurotelur.

“He is an extraordinary person,” American journalist Ludwig Denny, who attended the rally in Chipotle a few days later, reported: “His speech was brief and strong. He kept clenching his fists and clenching them again and again.

He released, released and clenched. In the brief time he was alone with me, he seemed very abnormal; his strange eyes, nervous hands, and strangely moving head."

Another aspect of fate, disguised as inflation, seemed to favor Hitler and his march on Berlin. By early October, one pre-war mark was worth 6,014,300 today. An egg's

The price was about 3,000 li in 1913.

Many cities and industrial and commercial enterprises printed their own "emergency currency" to meet their expenses. The Reichsbank could not refuse to accept this emergency currency or treat it at an equivalent value to their own currency. It became a big joke for the government to print its own currency:

The banknotes with a denomination of 1,000 marks printed in December last year are now stamped with a red seal: 1 billion marks; the banknotes with a denomination of 500 million marks issued by the Bavarian State Bank a few weeks ago are now stamped with 20 billion marks.

It is assumed that these 20 billion marks can be exchanged for 800 US dollars at that time. However, when the holder of this not-so-pretty banknote with astronomical numbers comes to the exchange office, it is only worth a fraction... Suppose someone is willing to exchange it for

If you exchange hard currency to him.

People are crazy. They dare not hold banknotes for an hour. If they miss a tram to the bank, a person's monthly salary may be reduced to a quarter or less of its original value.

Since January, Xiutol has recruited about 35,000 new party members.

By mid-October, Hitler was even more convinced that the people were ready for another revolution. "When my fantasy and my love for the entire German people asked me to do this..." Hitler

"I had no choice but to take action," Tröller told the Nuremberg audience.

"He has never been so emotional during a speech... You can't imagine how quiet the audience was when this man started to speak." In October of that year, an enthusiastic follower wrote in her letter home.

The entire audience seemed to be unable to breathe. "Sometimes, I almost feel that in order to gain the unconditional trust of men, women, and children, Hihottel has used a charm." Another fascinated audience member was very close to Hifthol.

It almost made him see how he was spitting. "To us, this man is a whirlwind ascetic. But he knows how to ignite the fire in people's hearts. He does not use the method of debate, because this method is inflaming

Instead of shouting loudly and passionately, the main thing was deafening repetition and a rhythm that was contagious to a certain extent. This he learned. This method can strengthen

Powerfully inspiring and with a primitive and savage effect.”

In Bavaria, the pressure of such inflammatory speeches prevented von Karl from carrying out his official duties, despite his autocratic powers.

Although his superiors asked him to curb the violence in the Schiothalle, many of Bavaria's leaders put pressure on him to treat the Schiothalle gently.

Bavaria's peaceful people are nationalist and conservative. Although many people expressed regret for Hitler's brutal actions and angry remarks, they also shared his dream of Germany becoming strong and rejuvenated.

"Some originally respected feelings led people to the Nazis." A liberal member of the Bavarian Democratic Party said..." "These people also want to sincerely serve the country and the people.

Serve."

For this reason, although the Bavarian police were full of anger, they did not interfere much with the violence in Schigtöll. The Bavarian army commander, General Otto von Lossoff, came to Berlin to order sanctions against Schigtöll and the closure of the town.

The newspaper resisted this request!

Because Losov continued to disobey orders, he was dismissed. However, this action angered the Bavarian government, and he was appointed commander of the Bavarian Defense Forces by the government.

The next day, the entire Bavarian garrison collectively disobeyed the order, almost amounting to rebellion.

They swore to the Bavarian government to break away from the Weimar Republic, "I will not return to the principle of obeying superior officers until the relationship between Bavaria and the Empire is readjusted...".

This was a legal, formal rebellion without violence, but it was nonetheless an outright rebellion.

"There will be no civil war..." a member of the Bavarian cabinet said privately to Robert Murphy, "it's just that the ship of state is too far to the left. It was and still is Bavaria's responsibility to correct this situation!"
