Hersmann's house in Charlottenburg is large and beautiful, and there is a garden with a fountain, swimming pool, lawn and quite a few tall trees. It originally belonged to the duke of a German state, and it was a large mansion that could be called "so-and-so palace".

When Hitler and the others arrived by car, he found that in a corner of the garden, several limousines had been parked. One of them, which Hitler recognized as belonging to the current Minister of Defense, Colonel-General Schleicher.

Hersmann and his upgraded ****, but well-maintained, very graceful wife, Chloe, came out of the house to greet him, and invited Hitler, Goering, Rohm, Strass, Hess and others into the library on the first floor - it was very spacious, with brown wood bookshelves against the wall, and the shelves were full of books, mostly military works, but also novels and history books that Chloe liked to read.

In the center of the library, there was a rectangular dark wooden table, next to which several people were already sitting. They were the Minister of Defense, Colonel-General Schleicher, Colonel Canaris, who succeeded Hersman as head of military intelligence, and several "generals" from the Fatherland People's Party.

Obviously, this is a coalition negotiation between the military and the Nazi Party!

Unlike in history, the German military now has a lot of chips in its hands. Not only was the number of troops seven or eight times larger, but it also controlled German industry by controlling Soviet-German cooperation, Japanese-German cooperation, German-Italian cooperation, and some smaller-scale "barter" projects.

In addition, Hersman's Stacy Mechanism is also a trump card for the army. Whoever really wants to get along with the army is one of the options, assassination and kidnapping are also options, but the most common is to smear and break the news - with this method, the Military Intelligence Bureau has already eliminated many Bolshevik and Social Democratic politicians. Although the MIA has so far not dealt with the Nazi Party, it must have caught quite a few......

"We've done the polls. The Nazi Party will get about 25 percent of the vote, with an estimated 164 seats. ”

As soon as Hersmann sat down, he told Hitler about the results of the poll conducted by the MID -- the Germans were actually quite honest, so the poll was easy to do, just send more people to the street to ask questions.

In addition, the number of seats in the Weimar Republic was expanded to 656 at the time of the 1924 general election. With 25 per cent of the votes, there were almost 164 seats. This is almost double the last election (held in 1930), when the Nazi Party won fewer than 80 seats.

"The Fatherland People's Party, the People's Party and the Jatiya Party are estimated to win more than 20 percent of the vote, with about 131 seats."

"The Catholic Centre, the Democratic Party, the Bavarian People's Party (a branch of the Centre), the Christian People's Party (a branch of the Centre) and a number of other smaller parties together would have won 20 per cent of the vote, with the remaining 37 per cent divided between the Social Democrats and the Bolsheviks. ”

"This is the latest poll?" Hitler asked. There are also people in his party who are conducting polls, but the accuracy and timeliness cannot be compared with that of the Military Intelligence Agency.

"This is the latest, and the reasons for the resumption of compulsory military service have already been taken into account." Hersman replied, "Less than 300 seats, although not half of them." However, as long as there is the president's authorization, a cabinet can be formed. ”

The presidential mandate is to use the provisions of Article 48 of the Constitution to delegate the power to form a cabinet to a political party or individual. In the Weimar Republic, this method of forming a cabinet was also known as "backdoor cabinetry", and this is how Hitler came to power in history.

In this time and space, the Marx, Müller, Brüning, and Seckert cabinets that appeared after Stresemann's death were all "backdoor cabinets". Because there is no possibility of forming a majority in parliament.

"Now let's talk about the composition of the cabinet," Schleicher said, taking over Hersmann, glancing at Hitler. "The Chancellor will be nominated by the Nazi Party."

This man, of course, is Adolf. Hitler. Hersman glanced at the excited expression of the "Führer" and thought to himself that this person should not be the Führer. But it's good for everyone, including himself.

"The post of defense minister will be personally assigned by the president," Mr. Schleicher said, smiling faintly, "and I will continue to hold that position." ”

"Continuing to have an active military officer serve as Minister of Defense?" Ernst. Rohm asked as if he was not very pleasant.

"Of course, we're going to prepare for war!" Schleicher said.

"We've been preparing for this for years." Hersmann said with some pride, "Preparations have been going on since before the revolution of November 1918. And it will be a few more years to prepare. ”

He glanced at Ernst. Rohm, "Captain Rohm, we know that you have also been preparing for war. Your Nazi Party's People's Stormtroopers, more than our Wehrmacht, are a rare force. It was supposed to be part of Germany's war readiness program! ”

Hear this. The faces of Hitler and Röhm changed at the same time!

Hersmann had a clear idea, to turn the SA into part of the Wehrmacht. This thing is placed on another plane, Ernst. Rohm couldn't ask for it. Because the SA at that time claimed to have 4.5 million people, the Wehrmacht was only one-twentieth of the number of SA. And now the SA claims to be 1 million, and the Wehrmacht has more than 800,000. It seems to be about the same, but in fact, the 1 million stormtroopers are imaginary, and according to the standards of the Wehrmacht, 100,000 can be sorted out.

"Monsieur Hitler, Captain Rohm," Hirschmann continued, "since the SA was armed by the Nazi Party, we could reorganize it into the Waffen-SS as a special unit of the Wehrmacht...... Its members remained in the Nazi Party. 1 million people should not be able to be reorganized, but 6 to 7 divisions, 100,000 people are still armed. Captain Rohm could confer the rank of General of the Waffen-SS as Commander-in-Chief of the Waffen-SS. ”

Hitler and Röhm exchanged glances. 100,000 Waffen-SS ...... This is the condition for the Nazis to hand over the stormtroopers! But the name of this army was "SS", and it was still composed of the Nazi Ernst Guard. Rohm served as commander-in-chief. But neither Hitler nor Rohm considered this army to belong to the Nazi Party, it was "pro-Nazi" at best.

Because the right to reorganize the Waffen-SS is certainly in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, it is impossible for the Nazis to reorganize themselves. Moreover, the right to appoint and dismiss personnel after the reorganization is completed will also be controlled by the Ministry of National Defense.

"But the stormtroopers are our election tools!" Rohm objected.

The main role of the SA was not to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, but to fight the Bolshevik Party at home - at this time the German electoral order was very bad, and fights between rival parties were commonplace. And the most capable of fighting among all the German political parties is undoubtedly the Nazi Party with its stormtroopers.

"There will be no more chaotic elections like that!" Schleicher frowned, "Until the Reich wins the World War, it's best not to have an election...... Because that's a waste of energy! ”

"If there are no elections, how can the government be elected?" Herman. Göring interjected.

"There may be a few more elections," Hirschman replied, "elections under our control, with the aim of establishing a coalition of the Nazi Party and the Fatherland People's Party." As for the other parties, they will be suspended for at least 10 years after the two parties take full control of Congress, and elections will be suspended for at least 10 years. In addition, the same way of ruling will be adopted in all local states and cities. The local parliament and government will be jointly controlled by the Nazi Party and the Fatherland People's Party. ”

The Fatherland People's Party is now firmly controlled by a group of retired Juncker officers, whose father, Hirsman Sr., has joined the party, and will most likely become a member of parliament after this election.

Moreover, Hersmann also planned to promote the merger of Germany and the Baltic republics. Later, the Baltic German National Party would merge with the Fatherland People's Party, which now has a population of nearly 3.8 million (the Baltic population has a high birth rate and has absorbed many Belarusian and Lithuanian refugees to naturalize), accounting for about 5.4% of the population of post-reunification Germany. There are dozens of new seats in the National Assembly for the Fatherland People's Party.

In addition, there are some foreign members of the National Assembly who have similar views to the Fatherland People's Party, and they can also join in the future. In this way, a two-party structure in the Reichstag would be created in which the Nazi Party had the majority (estimated to be more than 60 percent) and the Fatherland People's Party had a small head (less than 40 percent). Then the two parties will form a coalition government.

In fact, it is the middle and upper strata with the honorary officer corps as the core and the far-right middle and lower strata with the Nazi Party as the core to cooperate and govern the country together.

If such a political pattern is formed, Adolf. If Mr. Hitler wanted to become the Führer, as he has done historically, it would have been impossible for him to have complete control of power.

But now Adolf. Hitler and several of his henchmen knew that they didn't have much of a choice. The Honorary Officers Corps has just won a big gamble and has grown in strength and influence. And they had a trump card in their hands - to promote the reunification of Germany and the Baltic republics. Germany will get 4 million people and 110,000 square kilometers of land!

This will definitely elevate the military's status in the eyes of nationalists. If the Nazis had given up this opportunity, the Honorary Officers Corps and the Fatherland People's Party might have been able to gain control of Parliament thanks to the merger of the Baltic Republics. When the time came, the Fatherland Party, with the support of the powerful Wehrmacht, completely shredded the Treaty of Versailles, took back the right to issue currency, and then used money printing to stimulate the economy. The Nazis don't know when they will come to power...... (To be continued.) )
