It's a good time!
Except for the defeated countries, other countries are a prosperous scene!
Just after the First World War, the victorious powers convened the Paris Peace Conference and the Washington Conference, established the Versailles-Washington system, and temporarily adjusted the relations between the imperialist powers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the contradictions between countries were temporarily eliminated, the capitalist world was in a period of relative stability and entered a golden decade of rapid development.
However, a huge crisis still came quietly.
October 24, 1929, New York, USA, Stock Exchange.
When it was discovered that by investing one's dollars in the stock market, one could continue to make profits, speculation in the United States became stronger, the gap between the rich and the poor widened, and wealth continued to accumulate into the hands of a few.
Today, Thursday, when people are waiting for the market to open, waiting for their purchased stocks to continue to rise, they are surprised to find that something is wrong!
Without any warning, the stock began to decline sharply!
"Damn, get the stock out!" Everyone is shouting that they want to sell their stocks, which further increases the decline of stocks!
The stock index has fallen from the highest point of 363 all the way! It fell by 20 percent on the same day!
It's a terrible Black Thursday!
With stocks slipping, the American financial world collapsed! Within a week, Americans lost $10 billion in wealth on the stock exchange!
This stock market crisis has kicked off the 29-year economic crisis!
The whole country, the whole capitalist world, is in mourning!
The number of companies that have failed has reached 140,000 in the United States, nearly 10,000 banks, 60,000 in Germany, and 32,000 in the United Kingdom. There are more than 30 million unemployed workers in the capitalist world, and 40 million to 45 million with the semi-unemployed!
The outbreak of the economic crisis in the whole world has caused a sharp decline in the industrial level of various capitalist countries! The standard of living of the people has fallen!
"Our chance has finally come!" In a house in Berlin, Hitler's face was full of excitement.
All over the world, an economic crisis is erupting! The German people, suffering greatly! At this time, the German people need a new leader!
Come to power through elections! This was Hitler's plan, and now, just in time! Run for office and become Germany's chancellor!
Now Hitler is aiming for the position of chancellor, because it is almost impossible to become the president of Germany.
In recent years, the Weimar government has also carried out the transfer of power, in 25 years, Albert died of illness, Germany held an early general election, various parties quarreled, and finally, Hindenburg, who had been retired, was persuaded to come back, and after his comeback, he became the new president of Germany with 37% of the votes.
The bearded Hindenburg is the most respected soldier of the German people! He fought in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, and was promoted to general in 1903. After the outbreak of World War I, he was promoted to field marshal after defeating the Russian army at the Battle of Tannenberg on the Eastern Front.
After World War I, Hindenburg was even listed as Germany's No. 2 war criminal, and at the same time, Hindenburg became tall in the minds of the German people.
In World War I, Hitler was only a corporal, and this gap made Hitler dare not think of being able to replace Hindenburg.
However, when Hindenburg's assistant and the country's prime minister, there is still a chance!
"Chief, I suggest that we start with two things." Under the seat, a dusty Shirek returned.
After a few years of living in the desert, Ciric's skin was a little dark, and his face was a little rough because of the wind and sand, but Ciric looked more mature.
Goering, Himmler, all greeted Ciric familiarly, only Rom, looking at Ciric's expression, it was always strange.
"Say it, Ciric." Hitler said to Shirek.
"First of all, we have to start with the current prime minister, and now the domestic economy is almost collapsing, which has a lot to do with his approach." "He is simply not qualified to get the German economy out of trouble, and he is mainly responsible for this economic crisis," said Ciric. ”
The current Prime Minister, Hermann Miller, is also an old fellow, born in 1876, and is now in his fifties, this traitor, it is he who signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of Germany. During his time in the Weimar Republic, he served as Chancellor of Germany in 1920 and again in 1928-30.
He was a leading member of the German Social Democratic Party.
Now, Ciric's opinion is quite direct, it is necessary to cut from this guy and blame all the economic problems of Germany on this guy!
Get out of here and make room!
Hitler nodded: "I think so too. ”
"In addition, if we want to be able to successfully elect and gain power in the country, the support of Field Marshal Hindenburg is also indispensable." Ciric continued.
Field Marshal Hindenburg! As the most dazzling general of World War I, Hindenburg's prestige at home is quite high, and if you want to succeed, you must have his support!
In later generations, too, without Hindenburg's support, Hitler could not have entered the center of power in the country, and he wantonly excluded other parties, and finally became the sole leader of Germany!
"Field Marshal Hindenburg, there is a great prejudice against us." Hitler said.
In the eyes of this old fellow, Hitler is still the corporal of the First World War! Moreover, Hitler's riot in the beer hall last time also made the old guy very unhappy, and he also pulled the old guy's closest partner, Ludendorff, in.
Therefore, the old guy had a bad impression of Hitler, and for several years, Hitler had been trying to get through the relationship with Field Marshal Hindenburg, yes, with many difficulties.
"That's because he didn't see our efforts." "If he had known that we were making every effort to develop German equipment, and that we were trying to wash away the shame of the First World War," said Ciric, "Field Marshal Hindenburg's impression of us would have changed considerably." ”
As a field marshal commanding the First World War, what was Hindenburg's attitude towards Britain and France? Of course, I want to wash away the shame of the past!
"Cirek, is your judgment accurate? We can't risk our cards anymore. At that moment, Rohm spoke from the side: "You know, in the eyes of those people outside, you are a complete clown. ”
Ciric knows what Rohm is talking about, about Libyan oil, Shirek invested a lot of money into it, but, now not a single oil well has been drilled!
