African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 1493 Adolf is released from prison

The spirit at the national level is particularly precious to East Africa. After all, East Africa is an immigrant country established on the basis of colonial expansion. The cohesion of immigrant countries is usually poor in their early days, and the history of East Africa is less than a century.

Not to mention that East Africa is just a secular country, which is very different from the countries that developed from colonies in America. When Westerners invaded America, most of them were under the banner of missionary work. In this way, their expansion into America was to conquer "foreigners" for God. Although it was unreasonable, ordinary people bought into it.

In comparison, East Africa is relatively crude. The only thing East Africa can show off is the nationalist rhetoric similar to Germany's so-called "land in the sun". However, everyone knows the value of East Africa as a "German country". Therefore, East Africa needs to strengthen propaganda in other areas and integrate national collective consciousness.

……

Germany was in turmoil in 1930. As the economic situation deteriorated sharply, an undercurrent had been gathering in Germany and was ready to erupt at any time and sweep across the country.

Munich.

Stadelheim Prison.

This prison located in the suburbs of Munich was built in 1894 and can accommodate criminals. It is only five or six kilometers away from the city center. In recent years, with the development of industrialization and urban expansion in Germany, Stadelheim Prison has actually moved from the suburbs to the edge of Munich.

There are many newly built houses and roads around it, and Stadelheim Prison is surrounded by solid high walls, with sentry towers and barbed wire, which makes it seem out of place with the surrounding environment.

Today is obviously a special day. In front of the gate outside Stadelheim Prison, there are many people waiting. Among them are government officials, soldiers, and some people of relatively high status. Of course, they also have an important identity, that is, the German National Party.

At nine o'clock in the morning, under the respectful escort of prison staff, a man in a suit and tie walked out of the slowly opened iron gate of Stadelheim Prison, which immediately caused cheers from the German National Party outside the prison.

"Hi, Adolf."

Hermann, the captain of the brown shirt team, stepped forward and said eagerly, "Adolf, welcome back!"

Adolf patted the shoulders of these former German Air Force pilots and said: "It is my honor to meet so many people, even a former Air Force ace pilot, and it is also an honor for Germany and the Germanic nation."

Then, he said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, I, Adolf, am back again. This cold prison can hold prisoners, but it cannot hold the voice of German freedom and justice. Therefore, this time I am released from prison, I will continue to represent this great mission given by the German nation and lead everyone to continue fighting until the important task of the complete rise of the German nation is completed. Hi, Xihai."

"Xihai..." Following Adolf's resounding shout, the crowd cheered again.

Looking at the crazy crowd, William, the warden of Stadheim Prison standing in the sentry tower, couldn't help but pursed his lips.

With a gloomy look on his face, he said to the sentry next to him, "This leader of the German National Party and his followers will one day bring chaos to Germany. Moreover, our prison environment is so beautiful, but it is described as worthless by this extreme nationalist. All prisoners can say this, but Adolf is the only one who is not qualified."

Adolf was a politician, so even while serving his sentence in Stadelheim Prison, he was treated differently from ordinary criminals. This time he was detained for a month, and except for not being able to leave the cell, he was very free. He lived in a luxurious single room, could read books and newspapers, and had a special kitchen.

Therefore, the warden of Stadelheim Prison felt dissatisfied when he told Adolf that the prison was "cold". To be honest, even the warden William was a little envious of Adolf's life in prison.

Of course, if he were to go to jail, he would definitely be unwilling to do so. After all, as a prison warden, he is also an official, and is different from the grassroots staff of the prison.

After listening to the warden's rambling, the sentry said, "Warden, this leader of the National Party is a big shot in Germany now. Some people even say that with his influence, he may be able to enter the upper echelons of the government in the future. Even his supporters say that he may become the future German Prime Minister."

The warden laughed sarcastically and said, "German Chancellor! Haha, let's talk about it after he can become the Prime Minister of Bavaria. The Prime Minister of the Empire also needs the consent of His Majesty the Emperor. But do you think the Emperor will allow such a dangerous person to enter the upper echelons of the government?"

Adolf is indeed a dangerous element to the current German government. German bigwigs do not pay much attention to his extreme remarks because they think many of Adolf's words make sense.

However, Adolf and the German National Party he led were not a group of honest people. If they had engaged in propaganda and canvassing for votes like other political parties, Adolf would not have been sent to Stadelheim Prison this time.

This time Adolf was imprisoned on the charge of destroying and disturbing social order in the Kingdom of Bavaria. Just a month ago, at the instruction of Adolf, his violent organization, the Brown Shirts, launched a large-scale violent action, which was eventually suppressed by the Munich government.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Bavarian top leaders in Munich, the German National Party is more like a mafia organization wrapped in the guise of a political party.

However, the Munich government did not dare to take any big action against Adolf himself. As the leader of the German National Party, Adolf had a huge influence throughout Germany, and the German National Party had become the most powerful national political party in Germany, and they could be found in almost every city in Germany.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the development of the German National Party ushered in a major opportunity. With the soaring unemployment rate and the outbreak of various corresponding social crises, many Germans, and even senior government officials, chose to join the German National Party or the Brown Shirts. It is no exaggeration to say that Adolf can now use these two organizations under his control to launch a major riot throughout Germany at any time.

Therefore, the Munich government dared not act rashly against this influential politician in Germany. If they were not careful, they might add fuel to the fire of the already turbulent Germany and completely detonate the whole of Germany. The warden William said: "Adolf and his men have too much influence, which is why the government cannot easily touch him. But when necessary, let alone him, even the leader of the German Labor Party can be arrested and shot. His imprisonment this time is actually a warning to Adolf. He has crossed the red line. If he takes another step forward, the empire will liquidate the German National Party."

The current German government, that is, the government of the Second German Empire, is obviously very different from the previous German Weimar government. As a democratic republic, the Weimar Republic was relatively friendly to the development of political parties and the social and political environment was relatively relaxed.

In comparison, the government of the Second German Empire had fewer concerns about these unstable factors. In other words, Adolf did not touch William II's bottom line and was mainly active in Bavaria. Otherwise, he would not mind letting the party leader see the "iron fist" of the imperial army.

Compared with "small stuff" like Adolf, the German Labor Party is the biggest concern of the current German government, although after the end of World War I, the German government liquidated its own labor party organizations.

But this also caused the German Labor Party to break up into pieces and split into several new Labor Party organizations, which continued to carry out underground work in Germany and occasionally made some big news to attract the attention of the German government.

Especially after the outbreak of the economic crisis, armed riots led by the Workers' Union occurred in many places in Germany, attempting to directly overthrow the German empire and the current government. In this situation, some of Adolf's activities were instead made to look like "child's play".

Of course, the German National Party is now a prestigious political party in Germany, and it has a unified organization and leadership, as well as an open militarized organization, all of which the Labor Party does not have. However, the Labor Party is more likely to frighten the German top leaders, and its activities are too frequent.

And this is not the whole situation in Germany today. The Labor Party and nationalist parties are very active, and Germany's bourgeois parties are equally unwilling to lag behind. Moreover, some of their members are also dissatisfied with the current German imperial system. Especially in the current economic crisis, they believe that it is caused by the imperial system and put all the blame on the government of William II.

However, this rhetoric is obviously not as convincing as the political propaganda of the Labour Party and extreme nationalist parties. After all, this economic crisis first broke out in the United States and then in the United Kingdom. Not to mention the United Kingdom, the United States is a thoroughly capitalist "democratic" country.

President Hoover of the United States is an example of an elected president who advocated "ruling by doing nothing". It can be said that Germany's current situation is exactly the opposite of that of Germany. Therefore, it is difficult to gain public approval by blaming the German monarch for the German economic crisis.

This "backstab" by the capitalist party was also one of the reasons why the government of William II allowed the extreme nationalist party to which Adolf belonged to grow. After all, Adolf had never openly opposed the monarchy.

His attack scope was very broad, such as corrupt officials, unscrupulous capitalists, the Labour Party, Jews... and so on, but he did not mention the German emperor and the nobles. Moreover, apart from the Labour Party and the Jews..., he was not completely opposed to some social groups. For example, when he talked about officials, he was talking about corrupt officials, and whether they were "corrupt" officials was entirely up to him. The same went for black-hearted capitalists. This is also one of the biggest differences between the German National Party and the Labour Party. In the eyes of the Labour Party, all capitalists are good people.

Adolf was very realistic. He would make use of anyone who could accept his leadership and provide him with support. Of course, a certain nomadic ethnic group in Europe was not one of them.

Regarding this point, Ernst was very suspicious. He suspected that Adolf had been bullied by this ethnic group when he was young, or that most of the people of this kind he came into contact with were not good people. In addition, Europe has always been promoting negative propaganda against Jews. These two factors confirmed Adolf's extreme hatred for this race.

In short, whether it was the Labor Party or the bourgeois parties, their existence led to the William II government's contempt for the German National Party. However, under normal circumstances, it was indeed difficult for the German National Party to succeed. It needed special soil and environment to grow and eventually seize power.

The view turns to Adolf and his group. At this time, Adolf is making arrangements for the future development of the German National Party.

"Although being imprisoned this time did not cause us any loss, it did waste a lot of time. Although there are telephones and letters in prison, there are some things that can only be resolved by me personally."

"Germany is now in an important period of great historical change. We should speed up our penetration into the north and attract more Germans to join our party to prepare for their subsequent entry into the cabinet. Only our German National Party can help Germany get out of the shadow of the economic crisis and lead Germany to seize world power and make the Germanic nation truly the world's number one nation."

It can be seen from Adolf's words that at this time he had no intention of overthrowing the German empire. His greatest wish was to become the Prime Minister of the Empire and then dominate state affairs.

In other words, Adolf's most urgent wish now is to become one of the temporary rulers of Germany. In Germany, the person with the greatest power is naturally the emperor, but the imperial prime minister also has nominal power, but this position is decided by the emperor.

However, Adolf believed that if he ascended to that position, he might be able to convince William II to support his political ideas. After all, many of William II's practices coincided with his own, such as promoting the outbreak of World War I and the post-war liquidation of the Labour Party and the Jews.

Of course, Adolf was not completely satisfied with William II. For example, he signed an armistice agreement, did not thoroughly settle accounts with the Labor Party and the Jews, and was dissatisfied with the current progress of Germany's military development.

In short, Adolf can be seen as an enhanced version of William II. He not only wants to start a war, but is also more crazy and tough than William II. If he comes to power, he will inevitably restart military expansion and be more radical than the German government before World War I.

This may also be the reason why Germany under Adolf's leadership in the previous life was able to achieve more brilliant results than Germany during World War I.

One thing must be made clear, that is, between the previous Second Germany and the Germany under Adolf's leadership, the former was actually stronger in national strength, and this strength was compared with other countries of the same period, while the Germany that Adolf took over had been castrated by the Allies.

For example, in the past, during World War I, only the British Royal Navy could surpass the German Navy, while Adolf's Third Reich could only use submarine forces to deal with the Allies in World War II, and was even inferior to its own allies Italy and Japan.

At the industrial level, Germany mastered a large number of core technologies before World War I, but after the war they were basically divided up by the victorious countries and lost the right to develop its own industry, which greatly restricted the development of German industry.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Germany was stronger during the First World War than during the Second World War. However, a big reason why its record was not as good as that of the Second World War was that Germany was not well prepared for the war before that. A person like Adolf, as long as he came to power, would inevitably vigorously develop the army and actively carry out preparations for war. In the previous life, countries such as Britain and France underestimated Adolf's ambition, which eventually led to a disaster.
