The Dragon That Devours the World

On January 30, 1933, the German "Berlin Morning Post".

"... First of all, let us congratulate Adolf Hitler on becoming the Chancellor of Germany, and look forward to him and his Nazi Party to contribute to Germany, but from the perspective of this newspaper, Germany at this moment is burdened with heavy debts after the war and the "Versailles" Treaty. If Hitler tries to restore Germany’s economic vitality, it’s hard to imagine what he can do. His Prime Minister is by no means smooth sailing..."

...

February 2, 1933, "Hamburg Morning Post", Germany.

"It is hard to imagine that, just two days after taking office, Chancellor Adolf Hitler called for the dissolution of the parliament and reorganization and re-election. What is the purpose of this? It is reported that the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, Germany’s largest party, currently holds 41.9% of parliament. The second largest party, the German Communist Party, holds 17% of the seats. This means that many of the Prime Minister’s decisions may not be approved by Congress. Does the Prime Minister decide to reshape the political landscape in order to implement his own policies? Let us wait and see..."

"Because of the parliament building arson case the day before yesterday, Prime Minister Adolf Hitler decided to urgently promulgate the "Parliamentary Arson Act" to abolish the provisions of the Weimar Constitution that guarantee personal freedom. There are three days before the re-election. What impact will this affect? , We don’t know yet, but it makes us very uneasy..."

...

On March 1, 1933, the German "Leipzig People's Daily".

"Shock! Disappointing! Chancellor Adolf Hitler ordered the German Communist Party to be listed as an illegal party, just one day before the election. At this moment, the Nazi party’s stormtroopers are arresting people everywhere, and their purpose is already clear to persecute the Communist Party. Withdrawing from the parliament and allowing the Nazis to completely control the parliament is a naked provocation against the German constitution and the democratic electoral system! It's a big irony, we elected a dictator's prime minister..."

"The Prime Minister issued an order to expand the Wehrmacht from 100,000 to 300,000. This makes the British and French countries dissatisfied because this is a public violation of the "Versailles Peace Treaty." But I ask, isn’t it right for a country to try to protect its own land and people? The words of Britain and France are totally unreasonable..."

...

On March 7, 1936, French "International".

"Germany set foot in the Rhine Demilitarized Zone and seriously violated the Treaty of Versailles. What does it mean..."

...

In 1938, the German "Mainz Report".

"Five years have passed since the head of state became prime minister. In 1933, the unemployed population in Germany was 6 million, and the unemployment rate was as high as 20%. Now, the unemployed population in Germany has dropped from 6 million to tens of thousands, and there is even a labor shortage in many places. , Basically solved the problem of full employment; the annual economic growth rate exceeded 10%. In 1933, the gross national product was about 73.7 billion Reichsmarks. At constant prices, today in 1938, Germany’s gross national product reached 126.4 billion Reichsmarks. Mark. This is a great achievement. Congratulations to our great head of state..."

...

On November 2, 1938, the German Nazi Party newspaper "The People's Observer".

"Jews, parasites that live on all nations in Europe! They do not produce, and seek wealth by deceit and deceit. They wander from one country to another. When the country is peaceful, they greedily converge their wealth; when a country is peaceful When caught in the flames of war, they hide far away and even make a fortune when they pick up the plane. Without the concept of a country, they are unwilling to work for the country. This is a group of worms, a group of poisonous insects that pollute Europe..."

...

November 10, 1938, "Berlin Morning Post", Germany.

"After the Crystal Night yesterday, according to the order of the head of state, a large number of Jews were arrested and sent to the concentration camps in Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. It is reported that more than 30,000 Jews will be in the camps. The government is strictly rectifying to get rid of their bad habits..."

...

In March 1939, the British "Times".

"Hitler annexed Austria and occupied the whole of Czechoslovakia. What is his next goal? At this moment, Germany has almost doubled its own territory almost without blood. The "Versailles Agreement" is nothing but an empty set, which makes people suspicious. Who is the victor of the original war? Prime Minister Chamberlain once said after the Munich Agreement,'He brought peace to a whole generation of people', but where exactly is the peace? This is doubtful..."

...

August 23, 1939, "Hamburg Morning Post", Germany.

"The Soviet Union and Germany signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Treaty". This is a great victory. Germany no longer has to worry about the original two-line battle. The original shame will be washed away. Long live the head of state!"

...

The shame of defeat, the unwillingness of being stabbed by one's own people, the hatred of the Jews, the heavy shackles of the Treaty of Versailles, and the strong desire for the revival of Germany... everything like this is gathered in one person.

The heart of one person, the heart of tens of thousands of people, not everyone is eager for war, but when all the pressure is too heavy to breathe, the people are more willing to resist.

On September 1, 1939, Hitler announced to Germany that Germany had been invaded by Poland and Germany was forced to fight back. Subsequently, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the Second World War broke out.

But the battle was far beyond everyone's imagination, and it went smoothly unexpectedly.

Relying on cutting-edge blitz battles and coordinated battles with Butan, Germany declared war on France a few months later. By forcibly occupying lowland countries such as Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, it easily bypassed the "Macedonian Line of Defense" that the French spent countless manpower and financial resources to build.

Then, a violent right uppercut struck the unprepared France...

"boom!"

Just six weeks, just a sharp right uppercut.

In World War I, the German ancestors failed to capture France in three years, and the seemingly invincible France was knocked down by Nazi Germany. After this war, Germany occupied almost half of Europe.

For a time, the European continent was shaken, the world was shaken, and a new Napoleon seemed to be born.

...

On December 7, 1939, Adolf Hitler stopped by Linz on his way to Italy. This is his hometown and the starting point of his dream.

In the Wizinger Hotel where he stayed, it was like a honeycomb at the moment. There are groups of generals who stand together hotly discussing state affairs, ministers from various ministries who appear in newspaper illustrations, high-level leaders of the Nazi Party and some high-level military officers in uniforms. Many busy adjutants ran around the hall, and the shiny epaulettes were clearly identifiable.

The many dignitaries surrounded him, but Hitler only felt inexplicably irritable.

These flattering generals and dignitaries bore him. At this moment, he has ruled all over Europe. In other places, he can be an "extraordinary leader" or a "great head of state", but in his hometown, he just wants to Quietly enjoying the peace of the past.

However, none of this is possible. He cannot be allowed to be alone because it is too insecure. Except for the necessary places, his scope of action was severely restricted to prevent possible assassinations.

Inexplicably, as if touching the scene, a figure appeared in his mind...

"Gustav."

Gustav, that's his nickname for Kubitschek, because his brother who died young was also called Gustav.

That old friend, who was good at music and aspiring to be a musician, seemed to Adolf like a brother. When Adolf wanted to come, he might have become the conductor of a big music troupe at this moment.

Adolf understands his friend’s musical talent. He is a person with a very good musical talent. Although he is not as good as some famous artists he came into contact with later, he also vaguely shows everyone’s demeanor. He is definitely not an unknown person, but now Where is he?

Inexplicably stunned in my heart.

Walking out of the hotel, there were many people preparing to welcome him, but he glanced around unconsciously, and among the many figures, he was surprised to see a familiar and unfamiliar face...

The calm face and the contemplative breath, although he is much older, there is no doubt that it is the person he once knew.

"Gustav!"

Excitedly shouted, Adolf walked forward quickly, and the guards beside him hurriedly followed to prevent a possible attack.

In front of Adolf, he could also see the excitement and emotion that appeared on Kubishick’s face. Adolf's hands tightly held Kubishick’s right hand, and he stared at his friend on the opposite side. There was a rare vibration in the tone.

The famous gentlemen in the hall looked at each other, no one knew who this strange civil servant was warmly received by the head of state.

They parted in 1908 and met again in 1939. The two have not seen each other for thirty years.

When they were separated, the two were still their only friends, the same spirited, young and handsome, but now they both have old faces, with unconcealable wrinkles on their faces.

The excitement on Kubitschek's face on the opposite side was already unspeakable. He also held Adolf's hand and opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, and finally said from his mouth.

"Head of State, I haven't seen you in thirty years..."

The head of state...you...

As others call it, the joy in my heart stagnates, and it also wakes up Adolf himself. Yes, both of them are no longer the down-and-coming young people who studied in Vienna.

However, even so, the joy of reuniting old friends still fills Adolf's heart.

He carefully looked at the up and down of his former friends, with an uncontrollable smile on his face. A lot of excitement and uncontrollable emotions converged on his lips, but the lips and tongue that could make the whole country enthusiastic just couldn't speak. Just nodded to his friend.

"You come with me."

Adolf calmed down a little, and then said. In this public occasion, any words that are too intimate are inappropriate.

The two went up to the second floor together, and the adjutant opened the room and left on his own, leaving time alone for the two. The two old friends looked at each other, and Adolf once again held his friend's hand, stared at it for a long time, and said excitedly.

"You are the same you used to be, Gustav. I can recognize you at a glance no matter where you are. You have not changed at all, you are just a little older."

With that said, Adolf led his friend to sit down at the table. After just a little rusty, the rusty between the two disappeared, and they started talking again as they did in the past.

"I don't have a private life like before. I can't do what I want to do like everyone else."

To his friend, he couldn't help complaining.

In the face of other people, it is almost impossible for him to say this, because he is a "great head of state", but only in the face of his friend, he can relax like never before.

During the conversation, Adolf gradually understood how Kubisik came here.

Before 1933, he didn't know the whereabouts of his friend until one day he saw a promotional picture on a poster outside the store~www.readwn.com~ It was a friend with a moustache cut out on it. There is a line of words.

"Famous National Socialist orator, Adolf Hitler."

Only then did he realize that Adolf, who was often talked about by everyone, turned out to be his friend, but he did not go to his friend, because he did not want his friend to think that he was a person who was in the limelight, until this year Adolf came to Linz , He just tried to find his friend.

"You are still stubborn as always, you should have come to me long ago."

Hearing what Kubisick said, Adolf said with dissatisfaction.

Just as Adolf was looking at his friend, Kubisick was also looking at Adolf.

The cold face and bright eyes still seemed so sharp, even though he had been in a high position, after thirty years, Kubitschek could still see the shadow of the conceited and proud youth of the past.

"You haven't changed."

Kubizick said with sincere emotion.
