"Yes, we can definitely collect a large amount of cash in a short period of time, and we have to thank the Americans for this, but they are not restricting our exports, nor will they cause a stagnation of our large amount of funds." Gustave showed a rare humor. .

"So Lampard, what do you mean?" Emile Köldof asked.

"Uncle Emil, Uncle Thyssen, and all the Junkers, what I mean is that our strength is too scattered, and it is difficult to concentrate on one point at the critical moment," Lin Wei said.

Everyone here was not stupid, and they immediately understood what Lin Wei meant.

"Lampard, I think you don't know that we are very united," Rudolph and Stark stood up and said.

"Uncle Rudolf, this has nothing to do with unity. Only when we become a whole can we fight against powerful enemies," Lin Wei said gently.

"Rudolph, Lampard is right, we are also very strong individually, but when we encounter a strong opponent, it is better for us to unite together," said Emil Koldolf.

"Emil is right. We should indeed have closer ties to compete with the Americans. Of course, it's not about who annexes who. We can send our own family's financial personnel to integrate them together, and our major families can give them With enough funds, they can decide how to use the money, which is much better than doing it alone." Fritz Thyssen was also advising from the side.

"Yes, I agree with Thiessen. This can prevent us from fighting alone," Gustav said.

"Let's set up an organization to deal with this incident specifically to ensure nothing goes wrong," Emil Kodolf suggested again.

"Well, let's give it a simple name, let's call it the Juncker Alliance," said Fritz Thyssen.

"Those who agree to do this now raise their hands," Gustav shouted to the crowd present.

"agree"

"I agree"

"good"

In a short period of time, an alliance was born amidst a chorus of approval. "Huh..." Lin Wei could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Such an alliance is the maximum that can be achieved now.

Seeing the Junkers who were having a heated discussion, Lin Wei felt that he was ignored again, "Ahem..." Feeling that he was taken seriously again, Lin Wei then said, "Dear Junkers, if this plan Success will not only affect the United States, but also the United Kingdom and France. Then it will be our chance for Germany to rise again. Like the great Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck fifty years ago, we want to unify ourselves first and unify the German-speaking area. , and finally all of Europe." In the end, Lin Wei was also infected by himself and his voice became even louder.

In Juncker's eyes, Prime Minister Bismarck is undoubtedly a great figure. Bismarck is a pivotal figure in Germany's modern history. As the most famous politician and diplomat of the Prussian and German Juncker bourgeoisie, he was a representative figure in the unification of Germany "from top to bottom". His life was the transition of Germany from feudal autocratic society to capitalism, and then to the capitalist powers. important historical period. Although Bismarck himself has withdrawn from the stage of history, his "iron and blood" policy has deeply affected German history.

"Yes, Germany will definitely regain its former glory in our hands," Emil Kodolpho said with certainty.

"Yes, it will definitely happen. Germany will definitely be able to rise again." Many Junkers made a voice at this time.

Lin Wei looked at these Junkers speaking in unison, and couldn't calm down for a long time. This is a class known for its unity. "Maybe only the Japanese can compare with them in terms of unity, huh? How could it be related to the Japanese? Hey! China..." Lin Wei dismissed the distracting thoughts in his heart.

After thinking for a long time and seeing that everyone had calmed down, Lin Wei was ready to raise his second topic, "Dear Junckers, the situation in Germany today is very serious, and the domestic political chaos makes us at a loss what to do. If this The second economic crisis broke out as scheduled. It is foreseeable that domestic workers will be dissatisfied with the current political system. As the leader of Germany, our attitude as Juncker is extremely important. There are two roads before us now. In fact, It’s simple, left or right.”

These few words once again posed a huge problem to these Junckers, who were all-powerful in Germany. Before this, they had never thought that an economic crisis would break out, let alone after the economic crisis. It can only be said that Lin Wei raised too many questions this time.

"Lampard, what do you think we should do?" Fritz Thyssen is worthy of being the leader of monopoly capital. He immediately knew that Lin Wei would have a solution, so he decided to throw some light on it.

"Uncle Thiessen, my intention is to find someone from the right-wing party who is in line with our interests, and then fully support him." Lin Wei's tone was calm.

"Why not the left? Lampard?" Emil Koldolf asked a tricky question.

"Uh! Because I serve in the National Socialist Party, and the National Socialist Party is a very pure rightist." After thinking for a long time, Lin Wei decided to tell them the truth. It is not difficult at all to investigate himself with the energy of these people, and there is no need to hide it.

"Oh? As far as I know, the National Socialist Party is not friendly to us. In the past few years, it even worked with the Social Democratic Party to take back the property and estates of the king and nobles." Fritz Thyssen also came over and interjected.

"No, the National Socialist Party is not one of those left-wing parties. It is just doing this to deceive voters' trust. Uncle Thyssen, you have to know that when the economy collapsed a few years ago, the left-wing parties were at their strongest. In fact, the National Socialist Party The party leader is actually very willing to cooperate with us," Lin Wei explained.

Seeing that Fritz Thyssen didn't say anything, Lin Wei continued to strike while the iron was hot. "Uncle Thyssen, the leader of the National Socialist Party is outside now. How about I invite him in and let you meet?" Lin Wei suggested.

"Okay, it would be nice to meet." Fritz Thyssen agreed to Lin Wei's proposal.

Lin Wei pressed the electric bell, and then a servant came in from outside. "Go outside and ask Mr. Adolf Hitler to come in," Lin Wei ordered.

In less than a minute, Hitler and his assistant Hess came to the reception room. Lin Wei was worried about Hitler, but he didn't expect that he had no stage fright. From the moment he entered, he started talking to Rudolf and Stark. Conversation, he shuttled among the people present with ease, and continued to talk, which immediately turned these Junker landowners from testing each other into full-time listeners. Hitler continued to hypnotize him with his inflammatory language and exaggerated body movements. All the audience, by the end, the stage was completely his.

"Democracy is the worst of all possible evils. I want to revive the military power of the Reich and unite the entire country closely. This task cannot be achieved by persuasion alone, but by force. Germany must provide for its surplus population. Find a new living space, occupy a new living space in the east, and ruthlessly implement Germanization. I will rebuild the army of the empire and send the army to a series of countries: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, France One day. And the Soviet Union. Of course, that means war". Hitler regarded war as the final focus, which coincided with the Junkers' thoughts. He quickly got what he wanted. When he felt that the heat was up, Hitler immediately and resolutely stopped his speech.

"Oh, you are so awesome, Führer. I was just sweating for you," Lin Wei walked up to Hitler and said quietly while the Junkers were discussing.

"A nation is experiencing turmoil, and we are being favored by the god of luck. Aren't we?" Hitler asked rhetorically.

"Oh, of course, only you can lead us to victory one after another." Lin Wei had no reason to be unhappy, because Lin Wei's plan had basically been completed by now.

"You are wrong, Lampard, I have achieved everything in speeches" Hitler was very serious when talking about this issue.

Finally, the discussion gradually became quieter. Lin Wei's father Gustav Krupp came over and said, "Mr. Adolf Hitler, after our discussion, I now support your movement and the absolute on behalf of the Junckers present." most political opinions."

"Mr. Gustav, this is a wise decision. Our cooperation will definitely make Germany stronger again." Hitler looked very happy.

The cooperation between Juncker, who is in the upper class, and the National Socialist Party, which represents the extreme force, is definitely a win-win situation (they share the same odor). With Juncker's economic strength and the National Socialist Party's attraction to the poor, he will be unfavorable in future actions. Lin Wei is in It served as a bridge, and the presence of Lin Wei made the relationship between Juncker and Hitler much closer than in history.

"Mr. Hitler, how much territory do you think Germany should have to ensure our living space and restore the borders of 1914?" Gustav said.

"Mr. Gustav, your son Lampard understands our views very well and is extremely supportive of us." Hitler did not answer Gustav's question directly.
