Family and Country Chapter 80 Ingratitude

Mr. Davis, President of the American Diplomatic Relations Association, knew a long time ago that he opposed a war aimed at curbing the fight against China. This is not because of moral reasons, as long as it is a pagan country, the United States of America, which represents the will of Jehovah, has reason to punish it. The real reason is the economy: to fight a war against this country with the second-largest territory and the largest population in the world, the United States of America will invest ten times the resources and troops that are as good as the European War, which is obviously not cost-effective; in addition, domestic isolationism has revived after the European War, and most Americans do not want the United States to participate in the war again, especially when China has not violated American interests.

Henry Ford said just now. The Chinese are very smart and do not want to stimulate anyone. They swear not to build battleships. They admit that the number of overseas Chinese in the United States is reduced year by year, and suppress domestic xenophobic forces to retain many church universities. The real purpose of these measures is to win time. Destiny seems to be on the side of the Chinese. As long as there is enough time, all their goals will be achieved, including dominating the whole world. But what can I stop this?

Like any previous association discussing China issues, this meeting started by Henry Ford was finally left unresolved. Henry Ford shook his sleeves angrily, and the bankers on Wall Street just spread their hands and shrugged, not completely caring about it. After all, in the economic crisis, they had too many things to work, and Mr. Rockefeller, who was reluctant to come, did not leave immediately. He waited for the others to be exposed before asking Davis: "What new views do Colonel John, what do you think of this?"

Colonel House was Edward House, President Wilson's personal assistant. It was his suggestions that drag the United States into the European War. After the Senate rejected the United States' participation in the League of Nations, he formed the diplomatic relations association with British friends. As the founder of the association, Colonel House's attitude towards China was crucial.

"Sir, Mr. House has no new opinions on this." Chairman Davis smiled, and the answer was equivalent to no answer.

"Listen. John, although Standard Oil has a lot of assets in China, this does not mean that I will stand on China's position. Do you remember the conclusion of a previous meeting? As long as Standard Oil can monopolize oil supply for a considerable period of time after China's defeat, shareholders will not have much opinion on this."

After the economic crisis, the Morgan Consortium's core position in the association was gradually replaced by the Rockefeller Consortium. However, even so, some people still doubt Rockefeller's position, so there are some things that Mr. Rockefeller needs to keep declaring.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I do not doubt your devotion to God. Mr. House still retains his previous attitude. No change has been made." Davis repeated his previous views, but when Rockefeller was 'huh', he said: "But this global economic crisis will bring immeasurable changes to the world situation. Everyone has not yet understood how we and the Royal International Affairs Association should deal with these changes, especially with Germany."

"Germany?" Rockefeller repeated, thinking about the country that had been harvested once by Wall Street bankers.

"Yes, sir. Now the British are very conflicted. Germany is growing. This time, the parliamentary election. Germany's votes increased to five million, and the seats in parliament increased to seventy-seven. If the Social Democrats were added, their seats were already half of the parliament. It is very likely that Germany will become the second country after Russia. This is something that everyone is very worried about." Davis introduced the results of the just-concluded German parliamentary election. "But in this election, the votes of the Socialist Workers' Party in the country, which was also significantly increased, and they won seven million votes. There are 115 seats in the parliament."

This problem is not difficult to solve. As long as we support this relatively right-wing national Socialist Workers' Party and let them take power, the forces of the ** and the Social Revolutionary Democratic Party will be greatly suppressed." Rockefeller said.

"Yes, sir, this is a ready-made method." But" Davis said thoughtfully, "a year ago, Chinese Prime Minister Yang solemnly advised Britain that he would rather gain power and lead the German civil war than support the Kuomintang to come to power, because after they come to power, they will definitely oppose the Treaty of Versailles and take the lead in provoking the war. After that, World War II will explode and countless wealth and lives will be destroyed."

"Oh, Yang." Rockefeller thought of Yang Rui's appearance. He must not believe the others asserted so much, but this was what Yang Rui said, and he had to believe it. "So, the British hesitated?"

"Yes, sir," said Davis. "At least they have such concerns, so they hope to do something in East Asia."

"This may not be a good result." Rockefeller was a little dissatisfied with this. War was the best way to stimulate the recovery of the world economy, but the British were unwilling to have large-scale wars in Europe, which means that war is likely to have in the Pacific region. The belligerent countries must be the Sino-Japanese alliance and the United States.

"In fact, the best way is for Germany, the Sino-Japanese alliance to attack the Soviet Union." Davis said, "but obviously Chinese Prime Minister Yang saw through this. Not only did he lose to the Soviet Union, he gave it huge aid. From Lord Cecil's point of view, if Germany or the Sino-Japanese alliance does not destroy the Soviet Union, then we must destroy them."

"Lord Cecil has another point of view: that is, even if the German and Sino-Japanese alliance eliminated the Soviet Union, they must weaken to a very weak state, otherwise the civilized world will lose control of the entire Great Six." Rockefeller smiled and added the complete view of Viscount Robert Celsi, the real host of the Royal International Affairs Association of Britain, which reminded him of a Chinese proverb that Yang Rui told him a long time ago. When a rabbit dies, the hunting dog will be eaten; when the bird is finished, the bow and arrow will be hidden.

"Yes, sir, this is the will of the Lord, otherwise the whole world will fall into darkness forever." Davis said sincerely.

"I fully agree with this." After hearing Davis mention Jehovah, Rockefeller stood up solemnly and drew a cross on his chest, he said again: "I can't think of any surprises. After Christmas, I will go to China. Maybe I can persuade the Chinese to change their minds, of course, maybe not."

"I wish you a happy journey. Mr. Rockefeller." Davis had no doubt about the loyalty of the Rockefeller family to God, and at the same time he did not have much hope for the Chinese. Just last month, China ignored the opposition of countries around the world and signed an agreement on the digging of the Eurasian Canal with the Soviet Union. It can be said that the Chinese people's pro-Soviet road will go to the end, and there is no hope.

Rockefeller is preparing to go to China after Christmas, on the other side of the world. The German National Socialist Workers' Party, which has just won the parliamentary election, is also planning a visit to China. Because Beijing will hold a huge procurement bidding meeting the following year, at the request of the German industrial giant, the President of the Republic Hindenburg and Prime Minister Heinrich Bruin both hope to send heavyweights to China. Among them, the wife of Gorene, the second-ranking figure of the National Socialist Party, Duke Rebecca, is a key figure. Her father, Marshal William Leo, established that country with former Chinese Prime Minister Yang Rui, and she herself inherited her father's title and became the Duke of China.

The German government and industrial giants are concerned about large orders, while Goering and the Duke of Rebecca are concerned about Strasser's increasingly left-leaning policy. The KMT party actually supported a strike this month, although the impact is not great. However, this policy keeps factory owners and capitalists who have been donating to the KMT party, who think that the KMT party is just a brown coat. At the same time, some old KMT party members are clamoring to withdraw from the KMT party. The leader Strasser is not worried about this. He and his brother Otto Straser are ready to cooperate with the German KMT under the leadership of Telmann to implement industrial and land nationalization policies and completely solve the current unemployment and farmers' bankruptcy.

A few days before Christmas, in the Caesarhof Hotel, the bald industrial trust representative Walter Funke was looking at the Gorene and his wife in front of him, waiting for their answers, but Gorene and Rebecca remained silent. I hope he could give his trump card first.

"Sir, Mr. Goring, I think if we don't act, Germany will become another Russia." Fonk grabbed his bald head and said with a bitter face. "This will destroy this country. Men will become Stalin's slaves, and women will become the targets of the slaughter. Just a note with a letter written on it, the slaughter can play with them as much as possible."

The bald man tried his best to portray Germany occupied by the ** in a very tragic way. Rebecca, who couldn't listen, smiled and said, "Mr. Fonke, since everyone is indifferent to this, what can we do?"

"No. Lord. You and Mr. Gorene have an unparalleled prestige in the National Socialist Party, especially you, Lord. As long as you and Grene can get Stellasay and his gang off the stage first, the whole of Germany will support you." Walter Funke waved his right hand and almost sweared to God.

"Mr. Fonk, if the whole of Germany supports us, then this package does not include Marshal Hindenburg?" Rebecca cursed his smile and asked softly again, which made Fonk's expression froze there immediately.

"I remember that in the last meeting, we had already expressed our view that the political situation would be stable only if the Hohenzollern family was restored and Germany became a constitutional monarchy like China or Britain. The so-called democratic beliefs and ** beliefs can only make this country chaotic. Once Marshal Hindenburg dies, a civil war will break out of Germany." Rebecca reiterated her point of view, which was the conclusion she and some supporters around her came to study the current Germany and China.

Defeat is not the root of Germany's chaos. What is really chaotic is the loss of faith: some people believe in democracy, while others believe in **. If all Germans believe in democracy, then Germany is the United States or France. If all Germans believe in **, then Germany is the Soviet Union. These two countries are stable compared to Germany, while half-American and semi-Soviet Germany is extremely chaotic. For this reason, it is safest to learn from China: not following the trend of history, but taking a big step back, and insisting on the conservative stance before the European War will be the best way for Germany to get rid of chaos, and those democratic elements and ** elements must suppress or suppress.

The solution is one way, but those vested interests who abdicated and democratized after the emperors were unable to accept the restoration of the vested interests. Even the constitutional monarchy was doubted by the democratic parties in the parliament. In addition, neighboring France also opposed this very much. It is very likely that once the Hohenzollern family was restored, the French would secretly support the ** and the Social Democratic Party to insurgency, causing Germany to completely confuse; Britain's attitude is also extremely important, but so far, they have no intention of supporting the Hohenzollern family's restoration, and they are only worried about becoming bigger. Germany becomes the second Soviet Union.

"I think" his wife's words froze Walter Fonk, and Goring had to speak out to smooth things over. He said: "Mr. Fonk, we and our wife don't have many supporters in the National Socialist Party. Some time last year, Mr. Migo Belle of Strasse was still clamoring to expel me, a petty bourgeoisie, from the Nazi Party. If the outside world does not give us enough support, we can do nothing."

"Mr. Goring, as far as I know, Mr. Rudolph Hess is on your side, as well as Mr. William Flick and Mr. Alfred Rosenberg. In addition, the National Defense Forces are completely on the side of Lord Rebecca, which is crucial." As the general representative of the Industrial Trust, Walter Vonk naturally has some understanding of the internal situation of the National Socialist Party.

"Mr. Fonk, none of these matters. Apart from Rom's stormtrooper, Stellasay has seven million votes. The people believe that he can bring good days to themselves." Goring smiled. "What we can do is to show our **communist position. If Prime Minister Brüning or General Schleicher wants to save Germany's fate, please first convince Marshal Hindenburg and the democratic parties in Parliament."

Walter Fonk, Goering and Rebecca said goodbye, which should be their second time to emphasize their views. Everyone knows that Marshal Hindenburg is 84 years old, and after his presidency expires in two years, even if he is re-elected, such a high age may die. By then, the German ** or the left-wing National Socialist Party led by Strassey will completely control the country.

"What do they say?" Walter Funke, who left the Caesarhof Hotel, did not have a home, but immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office, where General Schleicher and Prime Minister Bruin were waiting for his discussion results.

"General, as before, they still believe that only restoration, at least as Chinese as restoration, can completely save Germany." Although it was winter, Walter Funke was in a hurry and sweated.

"This is impossible!" Prime Minister Brüning said angrily. He did not disagree with the idea of ​​Gorene and his wife, but after he reported this idea to President Hindenburg, the old man was furious and was not angry because of the restoration, but because of the Chinese-style restoration. This means that the restoration will be completed by the Hohenzollern family. At the same time, the constitutional monarchy was implemented, which Hindenburg could not accept. As the person who advised the German Emperor to abdicate, he felt that he had no fault in his heart only when he returned the throne to the German Emperor William II again. The previous persuasion was for the sake of the 70 million German people.

But what Hindenburg supported was exactly what the Social Democratic Party opposed. They reluctantly agreed to the restoration of the Hohenzollern family, but the restorationists were never allowed to be the emperor himself or his eldest son, and they had to implement a Chinese or British constitutional system. This was equivalent to putting an emperor's hat on the Republic, and the power structure under the hat did not change at all.

It can be said that the restoration is sandwiched between the Social Democratic Party and the President of Hindenburg. As for the views of Goering and Rebecca, they do not seem to care whether the restoration is completed by the emperor himself or other sidelines. What they care is whether the power of this country comes from the royal family or from democratic elections. If it is the former, they can strongly reorganize this chaotic country in the name of the "emperor", eliminate and suppress those democrats and the most important ones, because they are the real root of the chaos.

"Maybe I can promise them," Prime Minister Bruining was angry. Schleicher, who had beaten Walter Vonk, agreed, "but the restoration will take several years."

"But" Bruin couldn't tell the conflict between Hindenburg and the Social Democratic Party in one fell swoop. He just stared at Schleicher, the operator behind the German political situation, and shouted loudly: "As long as you restore the throne, Strasser and ** can start a civil war in the name of democracy."

"Heinrich, if he doesn't do this, there will be no civil war at all. Strasser and ** will take control of the regime without any effort." Schleicher also replied loudly: "Germany will become the second Russia, and all possessed people will be shot or hanged."

"The international community will support us, and they will not make us a second Russia." Bruin insisted.

"But who can guarantee this?" Schleicher asked back, "It is Germany itself that can save Germany. We agree with Goering and Rebecca's proposal, but it is not to say that we are preparing for restoration immediately. This matter must at least wait until the president dies. Before that, Strasse and others will advocate nationalization and land reform. They will even unite with the **, so that the Social Democrats and the president will increasingly oppose them. This is enough."

Schleicher was a clever and favoured calculating person. He believed that the growing and growing squads and Stras would make the conservatives in Germany finally stand up and fiercely oppose them. At that time, all forces would unite around the emperor to oppose socialist and squads. In this way, even if there was a civil war, it would be a short-term civil war; but if there was no restoration, the situation would be likely to turn around. In the name of democracy, Germany would go to the Soviets without any suspense.

"Sorry, Kurd, I still object. Strassay and ** must not take the initiative. Moreover, the restoration will be an excuse for them to seize power, whether or not they are implemented, on the basis of lying, and no one can compare with Goebbels, the evil conspirator. We can only stop them without restoration, and at the same time, we will never give them any excuses for civil war." Bruin emphasized.

"No, only restoration can offset their propaganda. No matter how hateful the emperor was portrayed by them, at least, the German emperor was not a tsar. He did not order the massacre of the German people, nor did he appoint butchers like Stoledipin. His mistake was simply to agree to war, but this was when the Russians had mobilized them all; Germany's failure was not because of the emperor. At that time, the whole world was attacking people and stabbed them wildly behind us with a smile. Every German would not forget these." Schleicher emphasized, wishing to open Bruin's head and instill all these into it.

However, Bruining's rise to power was actually the result of his choice, but after the choice, Schleicher found that Bruining was not as consistent as he thought, and perhaps he should be replaced by a prime minister.

The ultimate stabilizer of the Weimar Republic is the National Defense Forces with only 100,000 people, Schleicher is a close subordinate of the Minister of Defense General Grona, and Bruin is the leader of the Catholic Central Party of the Congress. Originally, Schleicher hoped that Bruin could unite other parties to form a relatively united cabinet, but the impact of the economic crisis completely ruined the plan. Bruin has been called the "hungry prime minister" by German newspapers.

Hunger is a problem, and another problem is that the possibility of German rosy is getting greater and greater, especially when President Hindenburg is over 80 years old. Once he dies, there will be no one with enough prestige to stop Germany's rosy process. Therefore, it is within consideration of Schleicher, a party right represented by Gorene and his support for their restoration plan.

Schleicher thought about what he had done in the past year and felt really bad. Bruin, who didn't know he was likely to be replaced, thought about the huge amount of China procurement bidding. He was silent for a while and said, "If possible, I want to go to China in person."

"You go in person?" Schleicher was a little surprised. Participating in the bidding meeting was actually the business of industrial giants and minister of economy Hermann Wabbard.

"Yes. It is said that the purchase is as high as 1.5 billion marks, which may be the largest purchase in recent years." Bruin emphasized, "In addition, I also want to meet former Chinese Prime Minister Yang. However, he should help us from a private perspective or from a national perspective."

"Heinrich, the interests of the state and the country cannot be affected by personal relations. At least that canal has closely linked China and the Soviet Union." Schleicher reminded that he was disappointed that China had hope for foreign trade orders, especially after the Chinese General Staff sternly refused to provide submarine construction technology to itself. What is ungrateful? This is ungrateful. (To be continued.)
