Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

He looked up at the sidewalk ahead, and after confirming that there were few pedestrians, Lin Wenhua held the bag between his arms, opened the newspaper in his hands with both hands, and read the contents of the newspaper as he walked.

After seeing that there were still articles in the newspaper that agreed with that unreasonable policy, Lin Wenhua closed the newspaper angrily and quickened his pace towards the newspaper office.

Everyone in the newspaper has been worried about this matter in recent days. Lin Wenhua has seen it and kept it in mind. He can't write articles and can't think of any good solutions. He can only sit there and worry.

At first, Lin Wenhua didn't take the policy seriously after learning about it. He didn't plan to live in Germany for a long time, nor did he plan to participate in politics, so the policy would not affect him. But he soon realized that it would affect Lin Shangzhou.

Then he got anxious.

A few minutes later, Lin Wenhua returned to the newspaper office with newspapers and baguettes. He walked straight to Lin Shangzhou's office, knocked on the door twice, then opened it and walked in.

In the office, Lin Shangzhou was looking at the documents in his hands seriously. On his desk were the Social Democratic Party’s past programmatic documents, critical articles on the programmatic documents by Marx and Engels, and Marx’s works.

When he heard the knock on the door, he shifted his attention from the documents in his hand to Lin Wenhua who opened the door.

"Wenhua, thank you."

Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked out from behind the table, thanking Lin Wenhua while taking the bread bag and newspaper from him.

Lin Wenhua handed the bread in his hand to Lin Shangzhou and complained, "Shangzhou, what's so delicious about such hard bread? It's not even as good as the bread from the factory."

Lin Shangzhou placed the ammunition box containing two French armor-piercing shells on the table, turned around and said to Lin Wenhua with a smile: "This will be used for anti-tank purposes in the future."

"what?!"

Lin Wenhua was startled at first, then looked at Lin Shangzhou suspiciously and asked, "Shangzhou, are you kidding me?"

"Hahaha, just kidding, I use this to grind my teeth."

Lin Shangzhou laughed and replied. Lin Wenhua curled his lips and said, "I told you, how can this thing be used to fight tanks?"

After this little joke, Lin Shangzhou's mood improved a little, and he was not as distressed as before. He took out a baguette and handed it to Lin Wenhua, saying, "This bread was recommended to me by Louis. He said it tasted good, so I thought of buying it to try. Do you want to try it?"

Lin Wenhua shook his head at the bread with disgust and said, "No, no, I'm not interested in this. I prefer white flour buns to bread."

"Row."

Lin Shangzhou did not force Lin Wenhua to eat one. He picked up the fruit knife on the table, cut off a small piece of baguette and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he thought of what Lin Wenhua had just said.

"Wenhua, I'll take you to my house tonight. You want to eat steamed buns, right? I'll call Wuyou Palace and tell my uncle to go home early this afternoon and steam some buns in advance. We can eat them right away when we get there."

Lin Wenhua was a little hesitant when he first heard this. After all, this would be too much trouble for Lin Shangzhou's uncle. After hesitating for a few seconds, he agreed. Since Lin Shangzhou invited him, he would go.

"Okay, thank you."

"Haha, thank you for what."

Lin Shangzhou laughed and picked up the newspaper next to the armored ammunition box. When Lin Wenhua saw his action, he said to him: "Shangzhou, you don't need to read the newspaper. It contains the same article as the previous two days. There is no need to read it."

Lin Wenhua's words made Lin Shangzhou's heart sink. Writing three articles in three consecutive days all advocated the correctness of the prime minister's policies. This was a bit too hasty.

But this also made Lin Shangzhou realize their current weakness. How could this small newspaper that only published twice a week compete with the huge news media?

Even though he had Goebbels here, this would be too difficult for Goebbels.

In Otl, Goebbels followed Little Mustache, and the resources Little Mustache gave Goebbels were much, much more than what I gave him. In comparison, I seem very stingy...

(well…)

Lin Shangzhou sighed in his heart, unfolded the folded newspaper and read the contents.

However, he did not see the policy review article on this page. While wondering if it was on another page, Lin Shangzhou was about to turn the page of the newspaper. Before turning the page, he noticed a small piece of news.

"A Berlin resident complained that the Chinese were too noisy and disturbed his daily rest"

Such a news headline caught Lin Shangzhou's attention, and then he read the content of the news in detail. Just as the headline said, a resident of an apartment in Berlin complained to the reporter that the Chinese living next door to him was too noisy and affected his normal rest.

This is just a very normal piece of social news with less than 100 words, but it seems out of place among the commentary articles on political current affairs, giving people a very strange feeling...

It's as if someone deliberately placed it here...

After thinking for a long time, Lin Shangzhou still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Maybe the people from Central Daily News had a sudden idea to arrange such a news article.

Lin Shangzhou turned the newspaper over to read the news on the other side. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Shangzhou answered casually.

Then Kevin opened the door and walked in. His expression was very serious. The moment Lin Shangzhou saw his expression, he felt something was wrong.

"Kevin, why are you so serious? What happened?"

Lin Wenhua asked him.

Kevin nodded, and then said to the two, "When Monkie and I went to the newsstand, we ran into some hooligans causing trouble there. They picked up the newspapers and started tearing them up. Kevin and I stepped forward to stop them, but as soon as they saw us, they ran away. Most of the newspapers were torn up, and many customers were scared away."

After hearing the bad news, Lin Shangzhou immediately asked Dewen: "Is anyone injured?"

Kevin shook his head and said, "No one was hurt, but our profits for the day are going to be hurt."

His answer made Lin Shangzhou feel relieved. As long as no one was injured, it was fine. The loss of revenue would not have much impact. The newspapers could be printed again if they were gone. It would be bad if people were injured.

Lin Wenhua's face turned bad when he heard this, and he angrily said to Kevin: "Tsk, damn, what a damn thug...Kevin, have you called the police?"

Kevin nodded, then sighed and said, "We called the police, but the gang had already run away. The police told me and Monk that they didn't plan to continue the investigation because the gangsters didn't hurt anyone and didn't cause much property damage. The torn newspapers weren't worth many marks, so there was no need to investigate further."

"What the hell...what kind of police is this..."

Lin Wenhua gritted his teeth in anger and said angrily.

Lin Shangzhou was also very dissatisfied with the police's behavior, but the newspaper was really not worth much money, so it was normal that the police did not intend to waste time on this matter.

He just found it very strange why thugs would go to the newsstand to cause trouble. If they were gangsters, they would have gone there to ask for money, but they didn't go there to ask for money or beat anyone up, instead they went there to tear up newspapers.

The purpose is so weird...

(Tear up newspaper?)

An idea popped up in Lin Shangzhou's mind. These thugs were hired by other newspapers to affect their business. Of course, it is also possible that Klein was behind it.

As long as the facts meet any of the above two conditions, then this group of thugs will not come only once, there will definitely be a second and third time. However, this raises another question. Their next issue of the newspaper will not go on sale until tomorrow. Why did that group of thugs come here to tear up the newspaper today?

But now is not the time to pay attention to such things. As long as they come, the newspaper's revenue will be affected and newspapers will not be sold.

Lin Shangzhou wants to avoid this from happening.

He frowned and said to Lin Wenhua and Kevin seriously, "If my guess is correct, this group of thugs should be hired by other newspapers to harass us and affect our business. It is also possible that they are related to the things happening on my side. But no matter what the situation is, they will definitely not come only once."

"We need to prepare in advance to avoid being affected by them."

As soon as Lin Shangzhou finished speaking, Kevin nodded and agreed: "That's what I wanted to say just now. It's okay today. The damage caused to us is not too great, but if they come again tomorrow, it will be troublesome."

Lin Wenhua slammed his fist on the table, rolled up his sleeves and said to Lin Shangzhou: "Shangzhou, let us, the idle workers, go to the newsstand to sell newspapers. If they dare to come, I will give them a good beating."

Since arriving in Berlin, Lin Wenhua and six other workers have been doing nothing because Lin Shangzhou was unwilling to let them suffer in the factory, and they themselves were not willing to suffer in the factory in Berlin for nothing.

When the newspaper was in the preparation stage, there was still work to do and they could help run errands, but after the newspaper opened, they had nothing to do. There was a great opportunity in front of them, and Lin Wenhua certainly had to seize it.

Lin Shangzhou did not agree immediately. It would be bad if a conflict broke out and his people got hurt.

Seeing that Lin Shangzhou was still hesitating, Lin Wenhua continued to persuade him: "You don't have to worry about us. We are strong workers. Those hooligans can't compare to us. One against two against three is no problem."

"We have six people, and there are only three newsstands in our office. There are just two people in each newsstand. And those hooligans didn't necessarily come here to cause trouble with the intention of hurting anyone. Once someone is hurt, it will be difficult to deal with the matter if it gets out of hand. I believe that this is not what the people who ordered them want to see."

Lin Shangzhou looked at Lin Wenhua with some surprise. This boy was quite smart and what he said did make sense.

After repeated hesitation, Lin Shangzhou nodded and agreed with Lin Wenhua's idea. After getting Lin Shangzhou's consent, Lin Wenhua immediately left to find Huo Wen and others to discuss the issue of personnel allocation.

As soon as Lin Wenhua left, Goebbels pushed the door open and walked in, holding three sheets of manuscript paper covered with densely written words.

"Fritts, this is a new article I wrote criticizing the prime minister's policies. Take a look."

After hearing what Goebbels said, Lin Shangzhou curiously took the manuscript and read the contents carefully. Kevin curiously came over and looked at the article on the manuscript together.

While the two were reading the article, Goebbels was not idle either. He picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading. He had not yet read today's edition of the Central Daily News.

After seeing the article approving the chancellor's new policy, Goebbels sneered. After a quick glance, he turned the page of the newspaper and looked at the content on the other side. Like Lin Shangzhou, he was attracted by the small piece of news.

He read the contents carefully and keenly sensed something was wrong. There was no such small news in the Central Daily News in the past few days.

The sudden insertion of such a piece of content in the newspaper by this newspaper may be a coincidence, or it may be a deliberate act. In addition, the Chinese in the news made Goebbels feel strange.

He is Chinese, and Fritz Hipper in front of him is also Chinese. Is there any connection between them?

There were too few clues, and Goebbels couldn't figure out the cause for a moment, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

While reading the article written by Goebbels, Lin Shangzhou and Kevin's eyes gradually widened, and they admired Goebbels more and more in their hearts. The article in their hands refuted the chancellor's unreasonable, one-size-fits-all anti-immigration policy from a historical and national perspective.

The article criticized the chancellor for going against German history and tradition, Prussian history and tradition, and regarded this as undemocratic, calling on people not to support such policies.

After reading the article, Lin Shangzhou felt much more relieved. His previous worries seemed unnecessary.

"How about it?"

Goebbels walked up, took the manuscript from Lin Shangzhou and asked.

"It's awesome!"

Lin Shangzhou praised sincerely.

Goebbels then returned to his office and after revising the article again, he handed the manuscript to Jesus and asked him to publish it in the newspaper tomorrow.

In the evening, Goebbels returned to his apartment and sat in a chair in his room, leaning back and thinking about the little news.

(Chinese... Fritz is Chinese, and the tenant is also complaining about Chinese... This...)

Goebbels pondered the relationship between the two. It seemed to be just a coincidence, but his intuition told him that it was more than just a coincidence.

(Chinese…what does it have to do with Chinese?)

He was thinking about this problem. Now Goebbels had changed his mind. He was wondering what reasons should the media on the chancellor's side use to attack Lin Shangzhou if they wanted to.

(Chinese… Yellow Peril Theory?)

At a certain moment, Goebbels thought of this word in his mind. After thinking of the Yellow Peril Theory, Goebbels felt that his thoughts became clearer.

If the other party intended to use the Yellow Peril Theory to attack Lin Shangzhou, then that small piece of news was not necessarily a coincidence, but rather a preparation by the other party to promote the Yellow Peril Theory.

Thinking of this, Goebbels felt a little headache. He had too much to do.

However, since I have agreed to help Lin Shangzhou, I cannot be afraid of difficulties and I have to keep doing it no matter how much work there is.

Instead of worrying about this issue, it is better to think about how to deal with the Yellow Peril theory offensive that will come in the future.

Chapter 147 Confrontation of Public Opinions

At 16 a.m. on the 6th, Lin Wenhua and six other workers went to the newsstand of the newspaper office in batches. After the new issue of the newspaper was delivered, they began to sell newspapers in the newsstand. People who had been waiting to read the second issue of "Qianjin" today also came to buy newspapers.

The thugs came to the newsstand again as Lin Shangzhou said yesterday, but this time they met not the ordinary employees from the previous day, but the indignant Lin Wenhua and others.

The thugs didn't dare to take action against the ferocious workers. Firstly, they were afraid that they couldn't beat them. Secondly, they were afraid that if someone got hurt, the matter would get out of hand and end badly. In the end, they had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Lin Wenhua was very satisfied with this, and the people who came to buy newspapers were also satisfied with the content of the newspaper. They got what they wanted and saw the second article criticizing and satirizing the prime minister's new policy that had not yet been introduced.

Guided by this article, more and more people realized the irrationality of the prime minister's policy, and after reading the article, Darren was also very distressed about what reasons to use to refute the article.

In the end, it could only symbolically publish two weak articles on the 17th and 18th to respond to Goebbels' article. On the 19th, "Forward" published an article calling on Berlin immigrant groups to unite, which was naturally also written by Goebbels.

The content of the article is highly inflammatory. It calls on immigrants in Berlin to unite and protest against the Center Party government and the policy of Chancellor Albert. If this policy is passed, the Center Party government and Chancellor Albert may intensify and introduce more policies that are unfavorable to immigrant groups in the future.

The number of immigrants in Berlin is not particularly large, and most of them are ordinary people who have no interest in politics. Even if this policy restricting immigrants' participation in politics is passed, it will have little impact on them.

Because in reality, this policy did not restrict other civil rights of immigrants, but only restricted the right to participate in politics, such as joining political parties and becoming government officials, but did not restrict their voting rights. Immigrants whose property met the standards of the Prussian three-level voting system still had the right to vote.

However, the information revealed before did not include this point. It only roughly mentioned that there was such a one-size-fits-all policy. There were people in the immigrant community who were dissatisfied with this from the beginning, but most of them did not care... until they read Goebbels' highly inflammatory article.

They became indignant after reading that a future Center Party government might make matters worse for immigrant groups, because if things develop in the direction described in the newspaper, their interests will be harmed by the Center Party government.

Goebbels' choice of words was also very clever: the Center Party government rather than the Berlin government and the German government. He knew that the immigrant groups would still live in Berlin in the future and they were part of this country. They could not be allowed to become anti-German or against the German government. They had to be guided in a targeted manner to oppose the Center Party government rather than against Germany as a country.

However, what surprised Goebbels was that on December 12, Christmas Eve, immigrants in Berlin gathered together to march to protest against the government's policy that had not been passed. This protest also won widespread sympathy from the citizens of Berlin. The marchers were finally stopped by the police and the magic corps. Faced with this situation, Albert had to send Darren to explain and calm the public sentiment.

With the explanations and assurances of government officials, the anger of the marchers gradually dissipated. As the anger dissipated, the parade was disbanded, and people returned to their homes along the same route.

Looking at the dispersing crowd, Darren breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that these immigrants would gather together to march in protest. His plan to create a good social opinion environment for this policy also failed. He returned to the prime minister's office and reported the relevant situation to the prime minister.

He believed that someone must have fanned the flames, and the one who fanned the flames was the newspaper called "German People's Forward".

After listening to Dahren's report, the Chancellor asked someone to bring the newspaper "Forward" and read the article. He could see the strong incitement of Goebbels' article. After reading the article, Dahren realized that this man named "Paul Goebbels" was a powerful figure, and almost all the articles opposing the policy during this period were written by him.

After some consideration, Darren proposed to the chancellor to win over this man named Paul Goebbels. If he could be won over to his camp, it would be an unimaginable help.

So on the 22nd, Darren took people to the Vorwarts newspaper to find Goebbels, hoping that he could switch to work at the Central Daily News. The reason was simple. He was a very capable person and should not stay in such a small newspaper. He should work for a larger newspaper, and there would be more job opportunities at the Central Daily News.
