Chapter Thirty: The Rise of the Lion

In 1918, Germany was defeated in World War I and signed a series of unequal treaties that were deprived of power and humiliated by the country, which was quite the same as foreigners knocking on China's door in the Opium War that year.

This year, Shigan was born in the Nicholas family in Berlin. As the first child of the head of the family Arden Nicholas, Shigan was favored by the family since childhood and was a very noble young master.

Ardenne commanded many battles in World War I and has been resentful of the defeat of that war. He still cannot believe that Germany will be defeated in that almost certain war.

You should know that as the fourth most powerful country in the world at that time, Germany was a giant existence on the European continent at that time.

Especially during the governance of the iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, Germany's army strength had surpassed France, which was recognized as the "strongest army" on the European continent at that time, and its naval strength was second only to Britain, ranking second in the world.

Later, some people once commented on Germany this way. If Germany and the United States were neighbors during World War I and did not allow other countries to participate, Germany could even label the United States at that time as Mexico or Canada.

But Germany is an arrogant country. Ardennes summarized the reasons for Germany's defeat in World War I: fighting on multiple fronts offended almost all the powerful countries in the world at that time.

He was unwilling to accept that the Nicholas family could only win battles, and every failure was undoubtedly a shame for them, but he was already in his fifties - it seemed that the Nicholas family had a child late.

Arden knew that it would be difficult for Germany to rise again in a short period of time, but the flame of revenge had been deeply rooted in his heart and engraved in his bones. Therefore, Arden placed his longing and hope for the future on his son.

He named his son "Siegen", which means "victory" in German. He hoped that his son could inherit the glory of the Nicholas family for hundreds of years and put all the damn invaders down!

Time flies, and time comes to 1921.

On this day, a young man named Adolf Hitler came to visit Ardennes.

Arden, who was sitting in the top, looked carefully at the young man in the next few times. The other party was not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, with two beards, and had no aristocratic temperament. At first glance, he was born a civilian. Even when Arden was looked at, Adolf had nowhere to put his feet because of nervousness.

But Arden will not forget the young man's eyes, deep eyes, with a hint of melancholy, but his unwavering will. He is a very ambitious person, Arden thought.

Arden initially thought he was a big party to win over his "lobbyist". After all, after Germany's defeat, the domestic political system was in chaos, and every interest group hoped to get strong support.

But the other party claimed to be the leader of the "Nazi Party", and his tone was full of pride and pride, hoping to gain the support of the Nicholas family.

Arden was stunned for a moment and thought, there is still such a party in Germany? How can his secretary do it? Can any cat or dog make an appointment with him? This third-rate party that he has never heard of before, and wants to get the support of the famous Nicholas family?

Thinking of this, Arden said impatiently: "Na Zi Party? Haven't heard of it..."

"Oh, General Arden, let me explain to you. It was the German Workers' Party before, and now it has been renamed 'German National Workers' Party', abbreviated as 'Nazi Party'." The young Adolf did not give up and explained sincerely.

"German Workers' Party?" Arden had heard of this party, but it was just a small party. Arden said lightly: "Young man, give me a reason to support you."

If the young man in the next chapter cannot give him a satisfactory answer, then today's conversation will almost end here. He has to go back and carve a wooden pistol for his young Chican, which is a time-consuming task.

"If the Nazi Party can rule, we will fully support the General's plan for your external expansion, regain everything that has been seized by other countries, and ask them to repay their blood debts and repay them, and Germany will regain all the glory before the last war."

Adolf said excitedly, then couldn't help but continue, with a passionate tone, as if he was a speech that opened a new era. "No, there should be a more brilliant Germany, not just Germany on the European continent, we will become the next 'sun never set' empire."

Adolf hit the nail on the head and revealed what Ardennes wanted to do the most, and he instantly became extremely interested.

You should know that since the last battle with the Allies, Germany has generally had a negative attitude towards war. Even the current government only thinks about how to please those powerful countries - even if they lose their power and humiliate the country.

Those politicians who rely on slogans and family backgrounds are often extremely tough in politics, but they are military mentally retarded.

Although Arden had intended to launch a war, he was politically restrained and could not find a suitable opportunity. The appearance of this young man made Arden know that the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.

"You are very ambitious." Arden couldn't help but praise.

"Isn't it the same for general?" Adolf smiled and stared at the person in the top for a long time. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not have the same nervous appearance as before.

"Hahaha." Arden smiled. It seemed that the other party's previous appearance was just to show weakness in front of him, which made the next speech more touching. "You are very good. You just want to get the support of the Nicholas family. You need to prove that you have the strength first. When I think you have the strength to fulfill your promise one day, the Nicholas family will become your strongest backing."

"Thank you, General, the na Zi Party will not let you down." Adolf bowed slowly and said excitedly.

"Okay, let's get to this day. Just let go of your hands and do it. I will help you properly until you become strong enough to fulfill your promise. For...our common ideal, revive Germany!" Arden said.

Looking at the young man's departure, he seemed to feel the rise of a lion.

In 1923, Adolf Hitler failed to launch a beer hall riot and was arrested and he was instead arrested. However, with the intervention of the Nicholas family, Adolf received many preferential treatment in prison, and was released from prison for nine months and continued to serve as the leader of the Nazi Party.

The failure of the beer hall riot also made the young Adolf realize his political naivety and the importance of the army's control.

From this moment on, Adolf gradually grew into a existence that would be feared by the whole world in the future - Hitler.

After growing up, Hitler completely defeated the Republican Party after the subsequent "Congressional arson case", and the Nazi Party became the largest party in Germany.

In 1933, Hitler came to power and became the head of Germany, and the era of Nazi came completely.

Shigan will never forget that afternoon, when he was only 15 years old, he attended the man's appointment ceremony under the guidance of his father.

At the grand ceremony of office, Hitler roared and shouted on the stage, as if he wanted to express all the unwillingness of Germany since World War I. Countless people surrounded the audience, and they stared at the man, their eyes were also full of fanaticism. Everyone firmly believed that only Hitler could lead Germany to glory again!

Looking at his father who was excited and applauding repeatedly while listening to the speech, Shigan asked curiously: "Father, I think this person looks like a lunatic... Why do everyone support him so much?"

"Because this is a crazy era, only madmen can pull us out of the quagmire of humiliation!" The elderly Arden smiled, and the wrinkles on his face piled up together.

Arden Nicholas was already in his seventies at this time, but his eyes were full of fanaticism. It has been fifteen years, and it has been fifteen years since the humiliation of the last defeat of Germany. He finally saw the hope of Germany's rise again.
