The Third Reich: I seized power

“Your Excellency Deputy Party Leader, follow the itinerary. Today you are going to the executive government to meet with the government. Today, Your Excellency, you will be officially appointed Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Martin Bowman, Rudolf Hess’s secretary, said to him.

Originally, Martin Bowman was Adolf’s secretary, but Adolf was already hanging, and Hess, as the deputy party leader, naturally took the position!

Hess nodded, he was now fully integrated into this new identity.

After he woke up last night, he met with the top leaders of the National Socialist Party, which made them feel a lot relieved.

Including Hermann Goering, the big fat man, Paul Goebbels, who is in charge of the propaganda of the National Socialist Party, Heinrich Himmler, the supreme commander of the SS, Engstrom, the captain of the stormtroopers, and others.

They are all current high-level officials of the National Socialist Party and will be the ones they will rely on in the future.

It’s just that Herman Göring clearly has ambitions for the position of party leader. However, Hess, as the deputy leader, is undoubtedly the first in line to the throne. Now Goering, it’s still a little worse.

The National Socialist Party won 230 seats in last year’s parliamentary election, becoming the largest party in parliament.

Papen, then prime minister of Weimar, tried to make Adolf deputy prime minister, but Adolf refused.

Papen hoped that Field Marshal Hindenburg, then the ruling Weimar state, would dissolve the parliament and postpone the parliamentary choice indefinitely.

At first, Marshal Hindenburg promised him. However, it did not have the support of Kurt Schleicher and the entire military.

Subsequently, Marshal Hindenburg had to appoint Kurt Schleicher as Prime Minister of Weimar.

Kurt Schleicher, in order to consolidate his position as prime minister, tried to use Grigor Straser to split the National Socialist Party, but was unsuccessful.

This made Marshal Hindenburg doubt Kurt Schleicher’s abilities.

In addition, Marshal Hindenburg was very dissatisfied with his alliance with the ****, which made Kurt Schleicher’s cabinet unable to continue.

Adolf, on the other hand, was supported by entrepreneurs such as People’s Party leaders Alfred Hugenberg, Yalmaschacht and Fortz Tiesen, after a series of political deals.

The military also gradually changed its attitude and supported Adolf to power.

Even if Marshal Hindenburg was highly respected, he could not prevent Adolf from coming to power and forming a cabinet at this time.

It’s just that now Hess is cheaper.

“Get ready, go to meet with the governor on time!” Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency Deputy Party Leader!” Martin Bowman replied.

After drinking a glass of milk and two slices of bread, breakfast was over.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Hess got into his own car, a Mercedes sedan, and went to the government.

Dedicated chauffeur Campka was extra careful today.

Yesterday the story of the bomb attack on Adolf has been spread.

To this end, Heinrich Himmler, who was in charge of security, specially asked the SS to strengthen security protection.

Hess’s car was front and back, one car on the back. Behind, a truck followed. SS members with live ammunition stood inside the truck.

The meeting with Marshal Hindenburg was scheduled for nine o’clock in the morning.

When Hess arrived, the time was just right.

Led by the ruling secretary, Hess saw Marshal Hindenburg, a legendary figure at the age of eighty-six, in his office.

Already during the Second Empire, Hindenburg was appointed Chief of Staff of the Reich, Marshal of the Reich.

After the fall of the Second Empire, he became the ruler of the Weimar state.

Today, in the whole country, it is a high position.

“Good morning, Your Excellency!” In front of Marshal Hindenburg, Adolf was very low.

The already elderly Marshal Hindenburg nodded.

“Good morning, Your Excellency. I apologize about His Excellency Adolf. I’ve ordered people to start a full investigation. ”

After serving coffee, Hindenburg’s secretary turned away, closed the office door, and stayed outside.

Make sure that the meeting between Hess and Hindenburg is not interrupted.

“Your Excellency, it is really abominable that those despicable fellows should use such means to attack us! This is a trampling on the whole country. You can’t forgive those guys! Hess made a gritted teeth look.

Marshal Hindenburg nodded: “Of course, this is absolutely intolerable!” ”

“Your Excellency Hess, according to custom, I should appoint you as Prime Minister of Weimar. It’s just that I personally doubt it. Can you lead this country to strength, not perish? If there were any other option, I would not have wanted to make this appointment! “Marshal Hindenburg bluntly said that he was not optimistic about Adolf.

Hess knew very well that his origins, the aims of the National Socialist Party, etc., made Marshal Hindenburg look at it, and it could even be said that it was hostile.

Even in the current Wehrmacht, there are also many opponents of Hess.

“Your Excellency, I know you may have misunderstood me a lot. However, I can swear in the name of God. I will fight all my life for the rise and strength of the Germanic people! Hess swore with a serious look.

Marshal Hindenburg stared at Hess, his eyes shining, as if he wanted to see through his whole person.

“Well, I believe you. Take the oath! Marshal Hindenburg sighed.

He was getting older, and he was feeling worse and worse, and he didn’t know how long he would be able to hold out and only be able to put the country in Hess’s hands.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Hess was overjoyed.

Hess then completed the oath. And Marshal Hindenburg, in the name of the governor of the Weimar state, officially appointed Hess as the prime minister of the Weimar state.
