Although he stood in the dock and was likely to be sentenced to a long prison term for treason, his confidence in himself and his confidence in "governing the people of a country" has not weakened at all. While in jail awaiting trial, he analyzed the reasons for the failed coup and vowed not to make the same mistake in the future. When he recalled these thoughts after he achieved his goal of seizing national power, he said to his old subordinates who gathered in the Bergbraukeller Tavern to commemorate the coup, "I can calmly say that this was the most rash and reckless decision in my life." . Thinking back on it today, I can’t help but break into a cold sweat... But fate did not make things difficult for us. It did not make that action successful, because if that action succeeded, it would inevitably fail due to the immaturity within the movement and the flaws in the organizational ideological foundation. It ended in a disastrous defeat."
As the Nazi leader battled with judges and prosecutors during his trial, he was already thinking about how to create a new Nazi state. Next time, he would have to get the German Army to work with him, not against him. In his final speech, he expressed his desire to reconcile with the Army. He did not condemn the Army in a single word. He said, "I believe that the time will come when the people standing under the flag in the streets today will be united with those who fired at them. ... I heard that the shooter was in green. The police can't help but feel happy because it is not the Wehrmacht that has stained the innocent history; the Wehrmacht remains as flawless as ever. One day, the Wehrmacht, regardless of officers and soldiers, will be on our side."
But at this point, the judge presiding over the trial interrupted him. "Mr. Hitler, you just said that the green policemen have tarnished the innocent history. I don't allow you to say that." But the defendant ignored the judge's reprimand. He said even more brazenly: "Our team is getting stronger day by day... I feel very Be proud and believe that one day, these strong teams will expand from company to battalion, battalion to regiment, regiment to division, the original cap badge will be picked up from the mud, the original flag will be fluttered in the air, we are ready to wait God's last great judgment."
Hitler's aggressive and cunning eyes were fixed on the judges. He continued: "Because it is not you kings who can judge us. It should be the eternal historical court that judges us. I know exactly what verdict you will make. But that court will not ask us: 'What did you do? Treason, or not treason? 'That court will convict us, former Army Deputy Chief of Staff Ludendorff, whose officers and soldiers were all Germans who were dedicated to their compatriots and their motherland, and were willing to fight and die. You can do it more than a thousand times The earth will declare us guilty, but the goddess of the eternal tribunal of history will laugh it off and tear to pieces the indictment of the state prosecutor and the verdict of this tribunal. For she will acquit us."
Although Article 81 of the German Criminal Code stipulates that "anyone who attempts to change the German Constitution or the constitution of any state by force shall be punished with life imprisonment." However, Hitler was only sentenced to serve 5 years in the Landsburg former battery prison. Even so, public opinion expressed that the sentence was too harsh, so the presiding judge had to assure them that the prisoner would be eligible to apply for parole after serving 6 months in prison. Attempts by the police to deport Hitler as a foreigner (since he still held Austrian citizenship) failed.
The trial began on February 26, 1924, and was held by a special court on the former site of the Infantry School on Bluden Street. After a 24-day public trial, Hitler turned defeat into victory, ruining the futures of Karl, Lossoff and Sessel, making them as guilty as him in the eyes of the public, and impressing the public with his eloquent sophistry and nationalist enthusiasm. The German people made his name appear on the first page of newspapers all over the world.
During these 24 days, Lin Wei was present every day, and from the sidelines he heard and witnessed the sophistry of what later generations called the most genius speaker in history. If he had not known what kind of person Hitler was, Lin Wei might have also come to the scene. Most people in the world sympathized with him.
After Hitler was sentenced to prison and imprisoned in the Old Battery Prison at Landsburg, he was not depressed by his failure, but started a new life behind bars. While serving his sentence, Hitler also lived alone in a room, enjoyed various preferential treatments, and had an endless stream of people visiting him. He politely declined the visitors who came to greet him, pay tribute, and give him gifts. He spent the whole day meditating at his desk, reviewing the past, and looking forward to the future.
Lin Wei also returned to the Manor of the Stark family in Munich and began to plan how to meet Hitler and how to enter the prison. It was not difficult for Lin Wei. Although Lin Wei had little influence in Munich, with the Stark family With help, Lin Wei doesn't need to worry about this little thing. What makes Lin Wei embarrassed is when to see him. The time must be just right to have the greatest effect. The second is the issue of attitude. For this person who can be called a cunning person, first of all, you can't play tricks in front of him. Only by being honest can you impress him and make him regard you as a friend.
Dong Dong... "Please come in, the door is unlocked" Lin Wei said impatiently, coming in at this time to disturb his thoughts. Only Stark can do this in Munich.
"Ah, Mr. Lampard, how long are you going to live in Munich? Your fiancée, Miss Linda, is about to blow up the phone at our house." Sure enough, Stark came in and started a tirade.
Why is this guy so glib now? He wasn't like that when he was in the military academy. He must have learned it from someone after graduation. Well, in that case, I'll scare you.
"What's wrong, Stark, are you going to kick me out?" Lin Wei asked teasingly.
"No, no, Lampard, you misunderstood, how could I push you away? You can stay as long as you want," Starck said with sweat on his forehead. To be honest, even though Starck has grown up now, He has many more so-called friends, but the only friends he recognizes in his heart are Lampard, Matthew, and Hoffman whom he met in the military academy. If he loses one of them because of a trivial matter, Stark will not regret it. Die.
"Okay Stark, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously," Lin Wei said with a smile.
"However, I have one more thing to ask for your help. I believe that with your family's influence, it will be easy to do this."
Stark's heart suddenly rose again, "What is it that makes Lampard find it difficult to talk about it?" However, Stark still motioned to Lin Wei to tell him.
"That's it, Stark, I want to go to the old Landsburg Battery Prison. I wonder if you can help me find a favor." Lin Wei said slowly. After Lin Wei finished speaking, he looked at it expectantly. This is Stark. Unexpectedly, Stark's face changed drastically after hearing this. Lin Wei must have blown it off if he thought it was a good thing.
"Hahahaha... This is what you're talking about, Lampard? You just... said it... so solemnly. It really scared... me. Haha..." Starck said out of breath with laughter.
Just when Lin Wei's face turned blue, Stark's laughter finally began to stop.
"Lampard, this is just a small thing for me, don't worry, I will take care of it, ahem..." Starck agreed, patting his chest.
"Okay, Stark, I'm waiting for your good news," Lin Wei nodded.
The next day, Lin Wei got up early and started washing up. He also dressed extremely solemnly, which showed that Lin Wei attached great importance to this meeting. Not only that, Lin Wei also remembered the rumor he had heard somewhere in his previous life that Hitler liked to drink tea, so Lin Wei also took a box of high-quality tea from Stark's house, which made Stark's father feel very distressed. After thinking that everything was ready, Lin Wei set out for the Landsburg Old Battery Prison with the wind rustling and the water cold. After going through the necessary procedures, Lin Wei successfully entered the interior of the prison (a bit weird , like trying to rob a prison).
In the old battery prison of Landsburg overlooking the Lech River, Adolf Hitler was treated as a VIP, alone in a cell with a stunning view outside the window. In the treason trial court, Hitler used his eloquent words to win himself a heroic image as the savior of the new Germany. Even though Lin Wei arrived at the prison early, he had to show his gentlemanly demeanor and let the ladies in first. , until after two o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally Lin Wei's turn.
Lin Wei walked in the long corridor of the prison, his leather shoes making a tapping sound. To be honest, Lin Wei was very excited to see this person who made the whole world tremble. Finally, Lin Wei came to the cell where Hitler was held. , it can be seen that Hitler is living a good life, the cell is filled with all kinds of gifts, Lao Xi's face is not good, it seems that there are really more people visiting today.
"Hello, Mr. Adolf Hitler, please introduce yourself. My name is Lampard Krupp, from Essen." After scanning around, Lin Wei spoke first to show his sincerity.
"Oh, what, what do you have to do with the Krupp family?" Hitler said.
"Gustav Krupp is my father, but my father doesn't know that I am here today. This is just my personal decision," Lin Wei replied.
"Oh, good then. Please sit down. Why do you come to see me?" Although Hitler was a little disappointed, the arrival of the heir to the Krupp family still made Hitler very happy.
