Heinz's words made Lin Wei lose his mind for a moment, and then Lin Wei recovered immediately. Looking at these subordinates who had great hopes for him, Lin Wei slowly said, "Heinz, and you guys "When their immediate superiors wanted to speak, these SS officers, who seemed to have unlimited fame outside, immediately did so meticulously, "What you see is only the superficial phenomenon. Himmler's intelligence is not very high, or even at all. He is not as good as most people within the SS, but why was he so afraid of reaching his current position in such a short period of time? Himmler. No one knows him better than me. His ability to reach this point is based on his desire for power. Göring thought he could control Himmler because of his persistence, but that was simply a dream."

"Then Captain, at the current level, Himmler will ride on us sooner or later. Are we just going to be indifferent?" asked a staff officer.

Lin Wei glanced around and said, "Our SS is still in the SA after all. If I want to be independent, I must first move to the big mountain of Röhm. Since Himmler is so passionate about power, then he will do it." Let's do this. The military power is in our hands. Unless Himmler thinks he can bring down Röhm with only the secret police who can only snoop? Unless he is crazy. How about we do nothing now? Don't worry about Roma and the Stormtroopers. This involves a high-level fight. You should do your job for me, don't you understand?"

"Captain, we understand and we will never cause you any trouble," all the staff officers present stood up and said.

"When it is not necessary, try not to conflict with the SA and Himmler's secret police. There is an old saying in the East, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. When the time comes, I will make them understand who is the one who can definitely win or lose. ".

"Understood, captain, let's go out first." Heinz and the staff stood up and said.

"Okay." After all the staff members went out, Lin Wei let out a sigh of relief. The suppressed feeling just now made Lin Wei very uncomfortable. Lin Wei stood up and walked to the window sill, looking at the scenery of urban Berlin. Who knows? Will this city be razed to the ground in a future war

"Himmler, Göring, Röhm" Lin Wei was still muttering to himself when he put on his casual clothes and prepared to go home. Bang... the door slammed shut, "If you really want to die, don't blame me then." Along with the slamming of the door, a gloomy word was left behind.

Lin Wei felt very tired when he returned home. This fatigue came more from the huge pressure placed on Lin Wei by the stormtroopers and the conflict of internal anger in the SS. Once upon a time, Lin Wei tried his best to avoid this kind of internal struggle. But it turned out that Lin Wei was just daydreaming.

"Lampard, father called just now. He may have something important to ask you," Linda said when she saw Lin Wei was absent-minded after returning.

"Oh, Linda, what did father say?" Lin Wei came back to his senses and answered.

"No, you should go and talk to your father yourself," Linda lowered her head and said.

Lin Wei picked up the phone, "Who is it?" After a while, Gustave's long-lost voice came from the phone, "Father, it's me, Lampard, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Lampard, last time we did a great job in the U.S. stock market. It has been four years now. At the beginning of this year, the United States changed its president, Roosevelt. This president seems to be very powerful. Now Americans' confidence seems to have been restored. Come over, the stock market seems to be recovering recently, I think we can close the network." Gustav's loud voice came along the phone line.

"Roosevelt? Ah" Lin Wei broke into a cold sweat as he thought about it. How could he forget this big BOSS? Roosevelt came to power, and now there are four big BOSSs including Hitler, Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill in World War II.

"Lampard, my son, what's wrong with you? Do you know Roosevelt?" Gustave's voice became anxious when he heard Lin Wei's shouting.

Lin Wei tried his best to calm down his voice and said into the phone, "Father, I also agree to close the network now. This Roosevelt should not be underestimated. According to the intelligence sent by our SS intelligence personnel in the United States, this person is a very powerful person." A capable politician is far from comparable to that coward Hoover. If we don’t close the network, we will miss the opportunity to maximize our interests." Lin Wei had to make up some lies, which made the party look like The status of the Guards rose again.

"Oh? Son, it seems that Roosevelt is still very capable. He can get such a high evaluation from my precious son. Hmm! It seems that it is time to close the net, but we are buying a large number of factories in the United States and shipping them back to Germany. , or should we directly transfer capital to the United States for development?" Gustave couldn't help but think about Lin Wei again.

"Buy heavy industry factories, especially those that can be converted into military industry, and then transport them back to Germany. Keep light industry factories in the United States to maximize their value. Finally, force American families to recognize the status of our Juncker consortium in the United States. , I wonder if my answer can satisfy my father?" Lin Wei couldn't help but ask Gustave as he spoke.

"Forcing the Americans to recognize our status? This problem is not as simple as you think, my son." Gustave's voice was a little helpless.

"Oh? Father, I really want to know." Lin Wei's curiosity was aroused.

"Skull and Bones" Gustav's voice didn't know whether it was bitterness or something else, an indescribable feeling.

"Father, what is Skull and Bones?" Lin Wei felt some fragments flashing through his mind.

"Oh, you, it will be good for you to go home and learn more about the family knowledge." Gustav said earnestly, "The Skull and Bones Society was founded in 1832. In addition to William Russell, the founder was another person. , is Alfonso Taft, the father of Howard Taft, the president and top official mentioned below. And Russell's stepbrother ran the largest opium smuggling business in the world at that time. Russell A graduate of Yale's class of 1833, he later became a member of the Connecticut Legislature and a general in the state's National Guard. Before graduating, Russell went to Germany to study for a year. In Germany, Russell and a German The leaders of the secret organization are closely related. The organization's activities are not public, and the skulls of the dead are worshiped. Because they lack ritualization and secrecy. Disappointed, Russell recruited the most promising classmates in the class, including Alfonso Taft organized the most powerful secret society in American history, Skull and Bones.

"In the United States, at any time and in any field, Skull and Bones can call on its members to do whatever they think they should do."

The Pontys, the Harrimans, the Lords, the Phelpses, the Rockefellers, the Tafts, the Goodyears, the Penns, the Whitneys, my son, you should be all of the above. You know, they are all major members of Skull and Bones.

"Oh, is it just an American version of the Juncker Consortium?" Lin Wei said disapprovingly.

"I have to admit that they are much more well-organized than us, and if we force them, if the Americans are completely different from our character, relying on their appeal in the United States, this will be very detrimental to us," Gustav said worriedly.

"Father, we are taking the initiative now. In the United States, we only need one-tenth of the money to buy a factory that was ten times the value in 1929. As long as we act quickly, the Americans will discover us." It's already too late for his attempt." Lin Wei decided to cheer up his father.

"Okay, son, I'll discuss this with your uncles Koldoff and Thiessen. After all, this is no small matter." Gustav finally summoned up the courage.

"Okay father, in the last crisis, we have knocked down the seemingly strong financial system of the United States. Now it is time for us to reap the fruits. By the way, father, I am reminding you one thing. As long as we are in the economic system of the United States, Just occupy a certain proportion. Germany is our homeland. It’s best not to invest all the funds. As far as I know, Hitler is very dissatisfied with the Jews now. It will be a matter of time to attack them. We still have to save up. If we are strong enough to wipe out all the Jewish forces in our country, then we can sit back and relax," Lin Wei reminded Gustav again.

"Oh, Jews? Well, it's time to teach the guys who stabbed Germany a lesson." Gustav's tone was full of hatred. "Okay, my son, you should have a good rest and take good care of yourself outside. Let Linda take care of the things at home," Gustav began to chatter.

"Well! Father, bye"

"You stinky boy, okay, bye"
