The Third Reich in Desperation

However, Zhang Chengtian did not expose Krupp's careful thinking, but said with a pleasant face: "Brother, it is great that you are willing to provide funds. In this way, I can provide more funds to provide support for Gustav's team." .”

elder brother? !The name Zhang Chengtian used made Krupp feel strange.Although through the marriage, Zhang Chengtian has become a relative with himself.But this guy has never called himself so kindly before.

Zhang Chengtian seemed to have seen through Krupp's psychological activities, and explained thoughtfully: "Brother, think about it, there is no one in China who doesn't know the relationship between us. In the eyes of the public, my attitude is that of the Krupp family." attitude?"

Now Krupp fully realized that Zhang Chengtian's purpose was to pull himself into the bandit no matter what.Even if he wants to be neutral, this guy will create news that the Krupp family is collaborating with him.

Seeing Zhang Chengtian's shamelessness, Krupp said angrily, "Do you have to drag me onto your wrecked boat?"

Not to be outdone, Zhang Chengtian said: "First of all, our Socialist Workers Party has become the largest party in the country, not a broken ship."

Then Zhang Chengtian changed the subject: "Secondly, it's not me, but you, Krupp, who are in charge of recruiting merchant groups to join the mission."

Krupp was surprised to find that Zhang Chengtian's appetite was far more than he imagined.What this guy wants is to set up a new business interest group!

Originally, Krupp wanted to persuade Zhang Chengtian to give up this idea of ​​reaching the sky in one step.However, at the moment Krupp and Zhang Chengtian looked at each other, Krupp gave up this idea.

Krupp was surprised to find that Zhang Chengtian's eyes had changed a lot from when he led his troops here three years ago.

In that encounter 3 years ago, Zhang Chengtian brought a whole army of the National Defense Forces armed with live ammunition.At that time, although he had an absolute advantage in force, there was a little panic and lack of confidence in his eyes.

Krupp still remembers that Zhang Chengtian at that time looked like a nouveau riche, possessing a lot of wealth, but without the corresponding mind.As a military officer who wields the power of life and death, Zhang Chengtian negotiated on an equal footing with himself, a businessman who was caught.

But now, Zhang Chengtian, who came to talk to him alone, is more imposing than the whole company of the army.Compared with the low self-esteem boy who just traveled through time, Zhang Chengtian's eyes now have more confidence and less hesitation; at the same time, they are more decisive and less weak.

Krupp gave Bonna a look, and Bonna quickly understood Krupp's intentions.Next, Krupp wants to discuss some unpleasant news with Zhang Chengtian, and he hopes that it is best for Bangna to avoid it for the time being.

However, Bonna did not leave immediately.Instead, he glanced at Zhang Chengtian, waited until Zhang Chengtian nodded, and then got up and left the table.

Krupp saw all of Bonna's actions.He found that the younger sister he loved the most had completely fallen in love with the young officer in front of him.

Krupp's love for Bonna is well known in the Krupp family.It stands to reason that Bonna has found a young and promising husband, and Krupp should be happy for her.

But now Krupp still has a lingering worry in his heart, that Zhang Chengtian's future is indeed boundless.But this means that it is possible to go higher, and it means that it may fall harder.Krupp wasn't sure, was it really a good thing for Bonna to marry him?

After Bonna took the door to the restaurant, Krupp slowly said to Zhang Chengtian: "Reinhardt, do you know how terrible the person you are about to offend is? They once secretly manipulated Germany's economy and politics. The stability of the country. Even when Germany went through a change of government, these people were not replaced together."

"I know that this is a group of chaebols who have mastered various fields including coal, steel, electricity, and chemicals. They monopolize control over all aspects of the country and use it to influence the domestic situation. Therefore, they will not tolerate anyone with to fight for interests." Zhang Chengtian interrupted Krupp's worry.

Krupp nodded and added, "It seems that you are very familiar with the characteristics of the Junker consortium. But I want to tell you that your opponent is not just the Junker class! In addition to the Junker consortium, there is another terrifying businessman group in Germany." .”

Zhang Chengtian was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You mean the Childe family consortium?!"

Krupp described with a bit of awe: "Yes, in our business world, the Childe family consortium has always been nicknamed the uncrowned king of the business world. Strict family control, completely opaque black-box operations, as precise as clockwork The coordination, the acquisition of information always earlier than the market, the downright ruthless rationality, the never-ending desire for money and power, and the profound insight into money and wealth and the genius foresight based on all these make the Childe family in the world 200 Invincible in the cruel vortex of finance, politics and war for many years, he has established the largest financial empire in human history so far."

Seeing that Zhang Chengtian was silent after listening, Krupp said flatly: "For now, they have already raised some opinions on your actions."

"It's nothing." Zhang Chengtian picked up a cup of tea and drank it down.Then he raised his head, met Krupp's gaze and said, "Maybe in a few days, they will have a bigger opinion on my next steps."

Text Chapter 53 Presidential Controversy

On November 1923, 11, the beer can riot that was originally launched to seize power in history did not appear because the Socialist Workers Party gained power in advance.

But it's also a day to watch because it's the day the German people will decide who his next president will be.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, many people have already gone out together.They excitedly took their own ballot all the way to vote for the presidential candidate.

This is a national event that is relevant to every citizen. Every German people hopes that their vote can make the future of Germany better.

After Ebert was killed, rumors of conspiracy theories have not stopped.In the end, Sickert, who was also qualified, did not run for office.He refuted the conspiracy theory with practical actions, and at the same time gave up an opportunity, an opportunity to be famous in history.History is even more likely to remember a mediocre president than a good general.

Of course, none of the three presidential candidates running this time is mediocre.

In addition to the profound background, Hindenburg, the military representative who has won numerous honors; the business prodigy Childe Meyer, who is well-known in the business world as a shrewd eloquent; .

The above three people come from the military, business, and political circles respectively.It can be said that this represents the most important elites of the three circles in Germany.Future national policies must be very different because of their personal backgrounds.

And now, it is the turn of the German people to make a choice!

The traditional newspaper controlled by the Junkers consortium has been running at full capacity to promote the hero Marshal Hindenburg for two months.Under the leadership of the Childe family, the Jewish consortium, through the Voice of Liberty newspaper, repeatedly publicized the benefits that the people could obtain after Childe Meyer was elected president.The Gestapo even used the Social Worker Newspaper to continuously expose the shortcomings of the other two political laymen for the presidency.

All of a sudden, major newspapers began to tout their own presidential candidates, embellishing the picture of a bright future.At the same time, he tried his best to belittle other presidential contenders, and poured dirty water on his opponents without a bottom line.

"In my opinion, Field Marshal Hindenburg is the only reasonable presidential candidate." An old man who had managed the last World War spat to the pollster who interviewed him: "Everyone who has seen Hindenburg Those who performed well in the last World War will understand what a brave and strong leader Marshal Hindenburg is. What Germany needs now is such a strong leader."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of this old gentleman." A middle-aged man standing on the right hand of the old man replied with a smile: "My vote will be for Mr. Gustav, because he is the only one who is alert and mature. A politician. The future president should be a politician who knows how to make trade-offs, so as to set a more reasonable direction for Germany."

The same interviews took place in every large square.In Stuttgart, in the Ruhr area, in Munich, in Berlin...every district, every polling place, gradually welcomes more and more crowds.

On Berlin's Alexanderplatz, a black Mercedes-Benz car slowly bypassed the crowd on the main road and drove into the reserved yellow line parking area.

Hindenburg in military uniform pinned the Iron Cross once worn by King William I conspicuously on his neckline, and slowly got out of the car.

Hindenburg, who is already 76 years old, does not show the slightest feeling of aging at this moment.Instead, he's sported a peppy bob and looks fresh with a bushy mustache above his lips.His pair of greenish blue eyes, high nose bridge, and square square face made Hindenburg look mature and steady.

The appearance of Hindenburg made the supporters in the square boil.Many elderly people who used to regard Hindenburg as their idol even shouted the slogan of Field Marshal Hindenburg with vigor that did not match their age, and waved banners vigorously.

Accompanied by his assistants, Hindenburg walked to the front of the crowd, raised a whip in his right hand and shouted: "It is true that I am not sure how far I can make Germany rise for you. But I will always do my best." Heart, get you the best conditions I can get."

Hindenburg's words aroused cheers from the people, and his supporters generously gave bursts of applause to this respectable old man.

At the same time, another presidential candidate drove into the polling place at Alexanderplatz.

The gorgeous Mercedes-Benz that has been privately remodeled immediately attracted the attention of many people.From the moment they saw the car, everyone guessed the passenger in the car—Child Meyer.

Meyer's arrival sparked yet another round of cheers.This time, there was a welcome team formed in advance by many employees of the Jewish consortium.Therefore, their cheers seemed even more orderly and shocking.

Many people believe that once the economic genius of the Childe family becomes the president of Germany, the economic situation in Germany is likely to improve.

Unlike Hindenburg and Meyer, the politically trained Gustav did not make an appearance at Alexanderplatz.

At this moment, Gustav is recording a broadcast that will be broadcast across the country.

In this broadcast, Gustav pragmatically proposed his future reform goals.

The direction of reform proposed by Gustav is very clear.He will gradually abolish the privileges of some politicians and chaebols in the future, while promoting the economy, committing to solving the worsening unemployment rate, and insisting on fighting corruption, reforming the political system, and making government management more transparent. The proposal review procedure is more concise and effective.

There are many aspects of reform that his predecessor, President Abbott, wanted to do but didn't have time to do.

Today, Gustav has inherited Albert's ambitions.Under the operation of the Gestapo, this broadcast announcement to be sent to the whole country was recorded.

This time, many will be unable to sleep peacefully.After all, Gustav was the first and only one to come up with a specific weakening plan for the major chaebols.

Moreover, while suppressing the consortium, Gustav did not forget to consider the people and proposed many targeted reform measures.

On the surface, anyone with a discerning eye would think that Gustav would win the votes of the vast majority of the people after listening to this broadcast.

It's a pity that some shady methods will greatly reduce Gustav's winning rate.
