German Red Prince

This man, who devoted all his energy to his career, would never think about these things; he simply believed that it was Eva's way of expressing gratitude to her elders.
When Eva saw that Adolf agreed so readily, she was taken aback at first, but then she immediately realized that Adolf had misunderstood.
I finally mustered up the courage, and the atmosphere and setting were perfect, but good heavens, he actually misunderstood!
“I’m a little tired, Mr. Adolf, I’ll go back now,” Eva suddenly said to Adolf.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back now. Do you want me to take you home?"
Eva looked bewildered. Aren't they going to try to stop her?
"No need, I can walk by myself!"
After saying that, Eva ran away in a huff, tears glistening in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you angry?" Adolf scratched his head. Oh well, he couldn't figure it out either. That's just how kids are; their tempers come and go. They'll be fine in a few days.
Where is Miss Eva?
As Adolf walked in alone, Goebbels asked.
"She said she was tired and went home to rest. She seemed angry with me, but I don't know why. She's just like a child, her temper comes and goes."
Upon hearing Adolf's words, Goebbels immediately realized that the simple-minded man had probably said something that hurt his young lover's feelings.
"Ugh!"
Goebbels sighed. He couldn't interfere in this matter; he could only let things take their course.
Eva lay on the table, crying. Why couldn't this stubborn guy understand? Was he pretending not to understand or did he really not understand? She had been so straightforward, yet he acted like nothing had happened.
"Fool!"
She threw the things she had just bought on the ground and suddenly saw a string of things roll out of the bag.
Eva picked it up; it was a necklace. She stared at it for a long time, but it was too expensive, and she was too embarrassed to ask for it.
Unexpectedly, Adolf noticed Eva's fondness for the necklace and secretly bought it for her.
“Looks like this guy isn’t completely hopeless after all.” Eva smiled through her tears and put on the necklace.
"Fine, I'll forgive you this time."
The girl drifted off to sleep, carrying this touch of warmth with her.
Chapter Forty-Six: Germany, a Millennium?
Berlin, Germany.
Alfred von Tirpitz was sitting in his office, with several officials from various departments of the empire whom he had summoned.
"Everyone, tell me what's going on."
Tirpitz broke the silence first, looking at the Imperial Minister of Economic Affairs, Karl Herfelich.
This Minister of Economic Affairs, born in the Kingdom of Bavaria, guided the development of a series of financial policies during the war as an economics expert.
His strategy for funding the war was to make extensive use of war loans rather than adjusting taxes. This prevented early opposition within the country, stabilized the domestic environment, and effectively maintained public support for the war.
Although these economic policies were extremely risky and could have led to utter ruin if not handled carefully, the economic plan he formulated was based entirely on the premise that Germany would achieve final victory in the war and that the Allied powers would pay huge war reparations.
But with the triumphant call of 1918, these concerns vanished. Herferrich's strategy proved successful, and he immediately gained the Emperor's trust, becoming a favorite of the Emperor. His status and position rose rapidly, and he was soon appointed Minister of Economic Affairs of the Reich.
"Your Excellency, our current economic situation is not optimistic. Although it still appears to be showing relatively strong vitality, it has clearly declined compared to the past few years, and economic growth has stagnated. We must take action."
"Hmm, what are your thoughts?" Tirpitz gestured for him to continue.
"The Empire's armed forces should be mobilized; we must expand outwards and broaden our markets."
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen control over the forces surrounding the empire, leverage the role of the German Empire's European unified market, enhance their integration process with Germany, transfer economic risks to them, and alleviate internal pressure within Germany.
"We must also restrict the Jews in our country. They have become deeply parasitic on our economic system, extracting huge amounts of wealth from Germany every year. We must take effective measures to deal with them, and if necessary, we may even use force."
"They use their cunning to circumvent legal restrictions, engage in massive speculation and profiteering, and even dare to challenge the German Reichsbank! They don't even respect the Reich government! Jews who are not afraid of the Reich's authority are no longer ordinary Germans; we must strike hard and eliminate these parasites of the country!"
Herferrich said bitterly, having become an extreme right-winger during the war.
He believed that these parasites were gnawing away at Germany from the inside out, and that the Jews' ambition was to completely control the German Empire and then enslave the entire German nation.
As an extreme nationalist, he found it completely intolerable.
He has repeatedly expressed his disgust for Jews in public, and even threatened, "If I were the Secretary of the Army, I would throw these Jews into the incinerator and burn them as firewood."
His sharp remarks undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction among Jews in Germany. The German Empire did not actually discriminate against Jews, and there were many Jewish elites in various fields who also made many contributions to the empire.
Many Jews volunteered to join the army and fought in the war. According to statistics, more than 100,000 of Germany's 500,000 Jews joined the army, and more than 30,000 of Germany's 1.8 million soldiers who died in battle were Jewish soldiers.
In the eyes of most Jews, they were already Germans, so after Helferich made such remarks, they protested to the German Emperor.
"Germany is not the Germany of gamblers (Helfrich's economic strategies were all too risky, hence the nickname 'gambler'); Germany belongs to everyone."
However, this statement was quickly misinterpreted. Some newspapers, driven by sales targets, over-interpreted and distorted it, eventually spreading it as "Germany is Jewish Germany!" Some newspapers went even further, reporting it as "Germans get out of Germany!"
The post also included a picture of a person holding a Jewish symbol kicking an innocent bystander.
This is solid proof, there are pictures to prove it! Good heavens, these Jews are trying to usurp our territory, aren't they? The Empire kindly offered you a place to settle, and you still want to rebel?
But the truth is that a German Jew was stopping a Jewish extremist's demonstration, and the photo just happened to capture him grabbing the flag and trying to send the man back.
This so-called truth, the so-called solid evidence in the reports, the numerous pieces of evidence and various conspiracy theories listed, are actually all laughable lies.
Anti-Semitism is quietly spreading in Germany, with frequent disturbances in Jewish neighborhoods and robberies and rapes occurring almost daily.
In Berlin's underworld, there were even organizations that hunted Jews, and Jews were openly priced.
An adult man is worth five marks, a woman three marks, a child is more expensive at seven marks, and an infant is the most expensive at fifteen marks. Their reason is to cut off the future of the Jews.
These men, known as "Jewish hunters," were respected in the underworld. The top hunter, "The Berlin Gentleman," was said to have successfully killed fifteen Jews, eight of whom were infants under one year old, and was respectfully called "Male Mama" by others.
A few days ago, a car crash occurred where an "out-of-control" car rammed into a crowd, causing eight injuries and deaths, including three children.
Ironically, these cases have become unsolved mysteries in Berlin, the city with the strictest security in all of Germany. Don't ask, the answer is always "we're still investigating."
These terrorist attacks targeted ordinary Jews who, like other Germans, worked every day and suffered the same exploitation. Most of them were actually being enslaved by the "Jews."
Yes, there are indeed many wealthy Jews in Germany, but they do not exploit their fellow Jews any less than they exploit others.
The brave, in their anger, draw their swords against the stronger; the cowardly, in their anger, draw their swords against the weaker. Were these people slaughtering for Germany? Or simply to satisfy their own perverse and hypocritical desires, to vent their primal and ugly savagery?
This nation, known for its rigor and composure, is now gradually descending into madness, heading towards the abyss of hell.
If German sages like Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Feuerbach saw their nation become like this, what would they think?
These massacres of Jews did nothing to change the impoverished state of ordinary Germans. Those Jews who truly exploited them now employed German housekeepers and protected them.
They are currently in some luxurious hotels, chatting and laughing with German government officials, and making deals over drinks.
Standing atop the city's high-rises, this group of people watched the massacres with amusement. What did it have to do with them? Could the infighting among the lower classes affect them? In their eyes, it was just a series of hilarious comedic performances.
Ordinary Jews living in fear could only spontaneously organize armed forces to protect themselves and their families, but this only further solidified their accusation of "intending to rebel."
The Berlin government adopted a wait-and-see attitude and dealt with these attacks and murders passively.
Besides hatred towards Jews, there was also widespread hatred towards France and Britain in Germany. The cannibalistic red devil was always looking for ways to cruelly enslave the German people.
These conflicts have only erupted in recent years. Although there were signs of them before, they were not as extreme.
You ask what the reason is? Idiot, it's an economic problem, of course!
"Nationalism is the best medicine for solving all problems."
But the premise is that there must be someone who can control it, who can just control it to a certain degree, otherwise the backlash will be terrible.
“You’re going a bit too far.” Tirpitz frowned. It seemed that Helferich was deeply influenced by the German Fatherland Party.
Despite its authoritarian nature, Germany's political system is multi-party. Each party represents a portion of Germany's total population, and each party can attract ordinary citizens and gain power, thereby alleviating class tensions.
This nationalist party has recently become increasingly popular among ordinary Germans, and it holds a significant number of seats in parliament, with its influence growing.
Tirpitz knew how terrifying the party's power was; nationalism was the most effective way to incite the masses. If he used this well, he could stabilize the country; if he used it poorly, it would lead to utter ruin.
Therefore, he maintained very strict control, limiting the party's power to a certain extent. He could control it when he was present, but what if he wasn't? What kind of huge waves would this party stir up?
"Schacht, what do you think?"
Tirpitz then looked at Halma Schacht, the president of the German Reichsbank.
"The volatility in the financial industry is also very obvious. Recently, many big financiers have come to the bank to borrow money, and they have invested all the money in the stock and real estate industries."
After Schacht finished speaking, he looked at Helferich and said, "Most of the financiers who came were Jewish."
Tirpitz fell silent, then waved his hand.
"Alright, that concludes this meeting. You may all go back now."
The group bowed to Tirpitz and left the room. Inside the vast office of the Imperial Chancellor, Tirpitz sat alone in silence.
Inside the prime minister's office hung portraits of all the prime ministers of the empire. He stood up and looked at the empty frame; that was his seat.
He was exhausted; he had sacrificed too much to maintain Germany. Wilhelm II was like an irresponsible child, an impulsive politician who acted without considering the consequences, leaving Tirpitz to bail him out in many situations.
"Oh no, what should I do?"
He looked at the portrait of Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of Germany, who was a role model for his successors and profoundly influenced their style; he was synonymous with the Chancellor.
If you, as the prime minister of an empire, do not act tough, then you are derelict in your duty! But how much will it cost to maintain that toughness?
Tirpitz is getting old, and his health has been deteriorating over the years. It's uncertain how many more years he can work.
After he leaves, who will succeed him as Chancellor? Will the new Chancellor be able to help that unreliable emperor handle the troubles and lead Germany forward?
War? Expansion? Ridiculous. Germany cannot afford another high-intensity war, as it would immediately cause its fragile economy to collapse. Therefore, he has always opposed escalating the war in East Asia and direct intervention in the East Asian battlefield.
But how could the stubborn William tolerate such an insult? This emperor, who strongly advocated the "Yellow Peril" theory, already harbored a natural hatred for Asians.
These foolish East Asians dare to shell German warships! If they shell German warships today, they don't even dare to think about what they might do tomorrow!
This is a provocation against German authority and an insult to him personally.
Although domestic newspapers were also very aggressive, constantly clamoring for war against France and for a complete conquest of France in a second war, the top leaders of both Germany and France knew that neither country was ready at the moment.
The atmosphere that seems to be on the verge of war every now and then is actually deliberately created. After all, only when most people are on edge and turn their attention abroad can they ignore some things happening at home.
Tirpitz did not want to know, nor dared to know, what the future held; this strong-willed prime minister dared not look into the abyss of hell.
Bismarck's portrait gazes ahead with a profound look; has he already foreseen the fate of the German nation?
The "Act on the Restriction of Jewish Property" recently passed by the Imperial House has caused a huge uproar. There were many objections in the House, and the bill almost failed.
This immediately enraged Wilhelm II, who initially hadn't cared about the bill. But can anyone explain why so many Germans opposed a bill restricting Jewish property?
He felt that many people in the parliament had been bought off by the Jews, and personally approved the bill.
He wanted to make it clear to the people in parliament that Germany belonged to their Hohenzollern family!
The bill was originally intended to be good, to limit the assets of Jewish tycoons, to control and manage their assets, and to regulate the order of the financial industry.
However, the news that it was approved by the German Emperor immediately attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Newspaper reports suggested that this reflected Wilhelm II's attitude toward Jews, marking the beginning of official anti-Semitism.
A large number of Jews were filled with despair upon seeing these reports. They had lived in Germany for so long and done so much for Germany, so why were they being treated this way?
Some Germans were overjoyed, as they could hunt Jews with even greater impunity.
The big bosses behind these newspapers that deliberately mislead the public are all Jewish.
With nowhere else to turn, the Jews chose to fight back. They began to fight violence with violence. One of the most famous incidents was the "Jews on the Rooftop" incident, in which a young Jewish man used a rifle he bought on the black market to kill six thugs who came to harass them.
The young man was eventually sentenced to death by hanging, which further fueled the resistance of countless Jews, and violence took place in the streets almost every day.
The police are also overwhelmed, with casualties among them rising steadily these days. These officers are far more formidable than the striking and protesting workers.
They can pull out a gun from who-knows-where, making the police very nervous when making arrests, and often resulting in accidental killings.
A few days ago, a policeman accidentally killed an ordinary passerby. The policeman insisted that the passerby was carrying a gun and approached him. After the negotiation failed, he shot and killed the passerby.
Later investigation revealed that he had actually stuffed a piece of bread in his pocket, and the reason for the unsuccessful negotiations was that he was hard of hearing and could not hear at all.
In short, because of this bill, the security situation in Berlin became a complete mess, and even Wilhelm II's travels were affected. Who knew if these thugs would throw bombs into his car?
Finally, after a week of chaos, the bill was repealed, and the Jewish financial magnates emerged victorious. This farce ultimately only exacerbated tensions between Jews and Germans and severely damaged the government's credibility, failing to achieve its intended purpose.
