Lin Wei used all his strength to finally coax Linda temporarily. Of course, signing an unequal treaty is indispensable. When Gustav saw that Lin Wei still had such great energy, he even ran away for two months, so he decided to arrange some time for Lin Wei. Lin Wei knew that he was wrong and had worried his family for so long, so he was embarrassed to argue.

But Lin Wei really didn't expect that his father Gustave would actually get him into the factory, and he also said that he would let Lin Wei practice before taking over the family business. Lin Wei goes to work at the factory at dawn every day. In the evening, Lin Wei can only go home after all the workers have finished get off work. His busy feet do not touch the ground. When I got home, I went straight to the bedroom without even eating. During this period, Berta and Linda asked Gustav for mercy, but Gustav was not moved at all. Lin Wei had no choice but to stay in the factory as if appointed. The benefit was that Lin Wei rebounded under the heavy pressure and his physical fitness and spirit improved greatly (will your health be better if you become a young master?).

A few months later, Lin Wei had just returned home from the factory. He wanted to take a shower first, then go back to his room to have a good sleep, but was told that his father was waiting for him in the study again. "What is it again? It's nerve-wracking," Lin Wei muttered softly. road. But he still walked quickly to the study.

"Lampard, this letter is sent from Munich and is for you," Gustave said.

"Oh" Lin Wei looked at Gustave with some surprise. Of course, Lin Wei was not worried that Gustave had already opened the letter. As a very proud Junker, his dignity would not allow it. Lin Wei opened the letter and read the entire content immediately.

"Are you going to Munich again?" Seeing Lin Wei wanting to speak but not daring to speak, Gustav said first.

"Yes, father, I am going to Munich. The leader of the National Socialist Workers Party will be released from prison tomorrow. I want to take Linda with me, and I may go back for several months," Lin Wei said after careful consideration.

"Lampard, you have grown up. I know you will not live your life in obscurity. Dad supports your decision," Gustave said sonorously.

Lin Wei looked at his father in surprise. He never expected that Gustave would agree to him so easily. In fact, in Lin Wei's view, although his father had certain talents, he was by no means a decisive person. , because the founder of the Krupp family was Lin Wei's grandfather, and his father was married into the Krupp family. Lin Wei subjectively looked down on this father. This was mainly due to Lin Wei's subconscious Chinese concepts, and Judging from Gustav's performance today, although the Junkers are no match for Hitler, they are not fuel-efficient either.

"Father, I understand. Don't worry, I will never embarrass the Krupp family." Lin Wei also made his own promise.

"Go quickly, have a good rest tonight, and you will be energetic tomorrow. By the way, you go to Crick and get one million marks, and take a few servants with you. Just tell me what I said." Gustav said.

Lin Wei was secretly happy, it seemed that his father was determined to support him.

"Father, it will be Christmas in a few days. I'd better stay at home with you." Lin Wei suddenly wanted to spend more time with his parents at home.

"Family training".

"Keep time, obey discipline, and execute orders. I understand. Good night, dad."

"Good night, my son."

In the early morning, Lin Wei got up early and went to wake up Linda, and went to Munich with the five selected servants. When they arrived at the old battery prison in Landsburg, Munich, many people had already arrived. These people were either Nazi party members or Hitler sympathizers.

, after a while Hitler came out, and everyone with some status went over to say hello.

Seeing that everyone else was congratulating him, Hitler was also very happy, but he did not see the person he wanted to see. "Comrade Hitler, congratulations." Hitler turned around and saw Lin Wei. He was about to rush over, but heard Lin Wei then said, "Comrade Hitler, let me introduce to you, this is my fiancée Ronald and Miss Linda Feng."

Hitler stopped quickly. Being rude in front of the lady was an unforgivable thing in his opinion. Hitler walked over politely and greeted Lin Wei and the two.

"Comrade Hitler, it seems that prison life has not diminished your fighting spirit. You are still the passionate fighter." Lin Wei gave Hitler a small compliment.

"Oh, Lampard, this little thing doesn't affect me at all," Hitler replied.

"I believe that under your leadership, our party will definitely rise again (I almost forgot that Lin Wei joined the Nazis)" Lin Wei said in a positive tone.

"Comrade Hitler, Linda and I are going to live in Munich for a while, and we have bought a house here with a servant. If you don't mind, I hope you will come and stay for a few days, and we can discuss the issues together." Lin Wei said.

"Will you disturb me?" Hitler said hesitantly.

"No, you are welcome to come," Linda said from the side. Although she didn't understand why Lin Wei did this, she still decided to listen to Lin Wei.

"That's right, look, my fiancée has invited you," Lin Wei said.

Just kidding, Lao Xi, you are so poor now that you have nothing to lose when you come out. You can't even solve your own food and clothing problem. Where else do you want to go

"Okay, Lampard, since you sincerely invite me, I will go to your house and bother you for a few days," Hitler said after thinking for a long time.

To be honest, the situation Hitler faced when he came out was really not that bad. The National Socialist Party and its newspaper Volksobserver Zeitung had been banned by the Bavarian government, and the struggle situation had changed a lot. , some of the original leaders either had internal strife or defected. He himself was banned from speaking in public. To make matters worse, he faced the threat of deportation and being escorted back to his native Austria.

Even many of his old comrades believed that Hitler was finished and that he would disappear into obscurity, just like many other politicians who had been famous for a while and then quickly faded into obscurity in an era of infighting when the republic seemed to be on the verge of collapse. As silent as a breath.

Lin Wei also wanted to see what method Hitler would use to solve the difficulties he faced. Facing the increasingly declining situation, Hitler was not discouraged, let alone wavered. He was secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Behind the bars, he thoroughly reviewed his own past, his successes and failures, and also the turbulent past of the German people, their successes and mistakes. Now he sees both aspects more clearly. There was a burning sense of mission in his heart that left no room for doubt. He wanted to be the hero who saved Germany. He was the well-deserved leader of the Third Reich.

Hitler and Lin Wei often talked all night long in Lin Wei's newly bought villa on the outskirts of Munich. Lin Wei induced Hitler to make choices during the conversation based on later generations' knowledge of the strategies Hitler used at that time.

At the end of 1924, two weeks after Hitler was released from prison, Lin Wei accompanied Hitler to meet with Dr. Heinrich Herder, Prime Minister of Bavaria and leader of the Catholic Bavarian People's Party. After Hitler promised to behave accordingly in future actions (he was still on parole), Herder revoked the ban on the Nazi Party and its newspapers. "The beast has been subdued," Held told his attorney general, Guttner. "We are not afraid to loosen the chains now."

After receiving such favorable news, Lin Wei and Hitler held a small party in the villa. All the small bosses came here. Eckardt and Schebner-Richter were already dead. Göring is in exile. Ludendorff and Röhm had broken with him. However, Hitler was extremely happy to talk to these little leaders and shake hands cordially. Lin Wei, as the host, also gave a speech and said that he was willing to contribute 100,000 marks to help the Nazi party. It is undeniable that these little bosses are relatively loyal to the cause they believe in. At least they did not escape and were waiting for Hitler to be released from prison. Hitler thanked Lin Wei on behalf of the Nazi Party, but Lin Wei said that he was also a member of the party.

Hitler praised Linwei's generosity and told the arriving leader of the Nazi Party that "Lampard is a good comrade of the Nazi Party."

Lin Wei has now developed something similar to friendship towards Hitler. From one aspect, Hitler was a true nationalist. Some experts in later generations said that if Germany had changed its leader instead of Hitler, it might have left. Not as far away as Hitler, so Lin Wei has no plans to kill him yet.

Don't underestimate Lin Wei's winning of 100,000 marks. Perhaps for the Krupp family, 100,000 marks is just a drop in the bucket, but for the members of the National Socialist Party who are barely able to eat at this time, it is undoubtedly a timely rain.

After Hitler was released from prison, he spent a lot of energy to improve the book "Mein Kampf", which naturally included Lin Wei. Lin Wei was still a naked militarist when he was with Hitler. When Hitler was writing and revising "Mein Kampf", Lin Wei spent a lot of time giving Hitler advice, participated in the creation, and even debated with Hitler over certain details. Servants often saw Lin Wei being angry. He walked out of Hitler's room in a hurry, and returned happily after a while. Then two people shouted loudly in the room. The result was very gratifying to Lin Wei. After careful revision by the two of them, " Although "Mein Kampf" is still a collection of politics, nationalism, anti-democracy, anti-Semitism... uh hodgepodge. But it did not reveal the intention to eliminate the Jews, which was enough for Lin Wei.
