Chapter Twelve: Another Side of Squinting Politics

April 10, 1932, early morning before the rising sun was still...

The lights in a Berlin house were turned on, and a woman's voice came from the room: "Luo, don't go against your conscience and vote for that person!"

Luo, an ordinary worker, did not wear a suspender suit when he worked today, but chose a black suit. This suit is a suit that Luo only wore when attending a special party. In normal times, it would be washed and folded by his wife. Today, no one invited Luo to attend any party. Today is the election day for the German people to choose their ideal leader with their votes.

He kissed his wife's cheek, "You don't have to get up, I just go to the street to buy something to eat."

Women at this time have no citizenship.

Luo quickly got dressed. He came to the street and found that the neighbors' houses were also bright. It turned out that he was not the first person to go out. There were already many pedestrians on the street, and everyone was walking towards the nearest polling station.

"Hey! Hey...Ruo!" Cyprus is Luo's partner in Luo's work, and the two are neighbors.

Ruo stopped, and he saw that Cyprus was still wearing work clothes, and seemed a little dissatisfied, "Do you know what day is today?"

Cyprus was obviously embarrassed, "Ah? Uh...I, I asked my wife to wash yesterday, and it was all blamed for the hateful kitten, it was shit..."

"Okay." Ruo could not accept Cyprus' explanation, "You will be beaten with a fist!"

It seems that the people on the street are dressed very formally today, and even the street lights that would have been turned off at 5 a.m. are still on at this time to illuminate passers-by.

Luo did not buy breakfast, so he was more willing to save money and buy more grain storage. However, it turned out that he was correct to not buy it. Before they could get close to the polling station, they smelled the mellow milk and the scent of bread with a little burnt smell.

"Ha! I knew it must be like this!" Cyprus said again.

In front of the polling station, people lined up long dragons and they would receive a small glass of milk and a piece of toast. Although there was little food, this had already touched people. In today's difficult times, few people were willing to take out food to do this.

It is said that distributing food is the act of the current government, so that people will no longer have a mental burden and will not find it difficult to cast their votes because of a glass of milk and a piece of bread.

The people who came to the polling station today had a very calm expression on their faces. They had found a channel to vent and no longer needed to receive gatherings or marches or make passionate speeches as individuals. These are all past activities, and people today know how to do it; participate in the construction of the country with the most sincere enthusiasm!

...

The campaign headquarters of the KMT Party is located on the Bodhi Street, where people are already full of people. Senior cadres of the KMT Party are holding documents in their hands and shuttle back and forth in the corridor, and they seem very busy. The staff at the bottom will post selected flyers and new publicity posters to every corner of the street before voting.

The expression on each face was filled with a smile of victory. Some of them had been struggling for nearly 10 years. Now, it is finally time to taste the fruits of victory!

The decoration of Hitler's new office still seemed so monotonous, it would always be an office desk, an old sofa, and the eye-catching party flag hanging on the walls. Perhaps... the only difference is that this office is much larger than the Munich office.

There were many people standing in the office, and the person with the permission was sitting on the only sofa indoors. Lao Xi stood quietly on the side of the only ventilated window with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the eagle decorated in the window, the eagle with its wings. The eagle's eyes were always so sharp, as if he was looking for food every moment, and the claws that hooked the window frames were always so powerful.

"We are like it. We are not afraid, but we are waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow!"

People from the KMT Party have become accustomed to Hitler's sudden yell, and no one is surprised.

Hitler turned slowly, "How are things ready?"

Himmler, the armed SS leader whose power was divided by Hal, stood up, "The SS under my leadership is ready!" He trembled his eyebrows and looked at Hal next to him with an unhappy expression, "It's just... the National Defense Forces SS under the Deputy Head of State refused to implement my order!" He gritted his teeth with the words "Deputy Head of State" as he said.

Hal didn't explain, he still leisurely sucked the cigar and spit out one beautiful smoke ring after another.

Hitler was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After about five minutes, he smiled and said, "It's okay. This is also the equal transaction between me and Junkers. It's great! But Stark, are you sure the National Defense Forces won't interfere? The time they entered the city, their behavior was very bad, really bad."

"Since you think it's okay, then I... feel depressed!" Himmler sat down with a deaf look on his face.

Hitler continued: "In the uprising, my left shoulder was shot, and I still have scars." He was talking about the fact that the Defense Forces armed suppressed and the left arm was shot during the Munich Tavern riot a few years ago.

Hal didn't say anything, he looked up at Hitler.

Strass, Goebbels, Hanfdanger...etc., seven senior cadres of the National Socialist Party either stood close or stood up and spoke in unison: "My Head of State, are you still doubting?"

"Haha!" Hitler touched the position of the shot in his left arm, "You guys are very good."

Everyone looked stunned and all returned to their positions obediently.

Goebbels slapped himself with annoyance and then sat down. This time... he lost a lot!

Hal stood up and said, "First of the People's Republic of China, this is what you agree with." As he said, he picked up the briefcase and took out a folder, "Whether you think you need to make some more modifications about this agreement?"

Everyone held their breathing and their eyelashes trembled quickly, and they had a bad premonition.

Hal put the document on the desktop, "We are working together for the same great cause. But unfortunately, my compromise has always been regarded as a seizure of power. At the moment of victory, I want to know, my partners want to know, the Defense Forces Command wants to know; is this agreement still valid?"

Hitler did not go to pick up the folder, he hesitated.

Hal continued: "We are both for the same ideal; to revive Germany, our motherland. For this reason, we say that Juncker paid a great price to stabilize the domestic economy, and the government of His Excellency President Hindenburg has also negotiated with various countries many times. Without this, it is hard to imagine that we can sit here and wait for news of victory."

He raised his voice: "For this cause, I, Hal von Stark, have joined your party and given everything I have done, working hard for the common cause! The armed armored vehicles that were equipped with the SS were fought for by me and I tried my best to fight for the National Welfare! The legitimacy of the SS was also fought for by me!"

Sometimes, by using a high attitude to explain a complicated matter, things will become much simpler.

Hitler calmed Hal's emotions. He didn't want everything to turn into shadows on the eve of victory. "All agreements are still valid! My partner, my partner in my career, no one doubts you. Just... I need complete power! There can only be one voice in this country, and that is my voice!"

"Of course!" Hal achieved his goal and restrained his emotions. "You have complete power. Don't you? After you are elected, you will abolish the titles of president and prime minister, combine the rights of two positions into one, and change it to the head of state."

Himmler jumped out, "But what does the last one of that agreement mean? What does it mean to threaten the security of the country? The head of state must step down! Also, the original agreement stipulated that the National Defense Force could only be expanded to 300,000... But! What are you doing? SS?! God! That is simply another National Defense Force!"

Before the news of victory came, because of Hal's strong existence, the Kuomintang Party had two voices. Is this a good thing? I don't know! Who would know?

"Enough!" Hitler slapped the table angrily, "How many times have I said it! Unity, unity, unity!!! Our enemies are not fellow Germans, but Jews, and those France, Poland, and the little pitiful country of Luxembourg that violated our territorial sovereignty!"

He changed the subject: "My partner refers to Hal, I understand, I indulge... but you must understand one thing, which does not mean I want to. One day, you Junker, the Wehrmacht... and all those who disagree with Lao Xi will know how correct I am!"
