Forced to attend beer hall gathering

  Lee De was challenged, the challenge came from the closest comrades in the party. The Führer did not attend the Munich conference, which was unimaginable for them, because he was not only the Führer but also a religious leader; not just a symbol, but a sign - like his mustache. In this way, let G?ring represent the Führer to attend the meeting, and borrow him ten times more courage.

  Borman, who first gave him the idea, changed his mind and said with a hangdog expression that the comrades did not agree to let Goring represent him at the meeting. It was clear that Borman had been scolded by everyone until he realized that his arbitrary statement was like Zhu Bajie wearing glasses - pretending to be a big shot.

  Goring hastily made a phone call, thinking that representing the Fuehrer at the rally while he was still alive would lead to gossip. Li De was furious: "What do you mean 'while he's still alive', is there a situation where he's not alive?"

  While still arguing with G?ring, another phone rang. He threw the receiver with G?ring's chatter to one side and picked up the other: "Congratulations on your recovery, my Führer," said Himmler's voice.

  I'm a bit afraid of Himmler, this cold-blooded animal, who can't be caught out on economic or style issues, and must be handled with care. He first threw over several high hats: "Ah, my dear Himmler, my loyal Himmler, my brave Himmler, I..." The remaining laurel wreaths were thrown back, and Himmler unceremoniously turned to the main topic: "I heard rumors that the Führer does not want to attend the Bürgerbr?ukeller beer hall memorial event."

  Li Deben wanted to say frankly that it was not a rumor, but his true thoughts. However, upon hearing Himmler's heavy breathing on the other end of the line, Li Deben lost his nerve and had to admit that it was indeed a rumor. The best way to dispel the rumor would be for him to attend the rally in person tomorrow, allowing the rumor to collapse on its own.

  "It's true, I said it, if Hitler doesn't attend the memorial service, he will be unfaithful to the martyrs who died back then." Himmler hung up the phone with satisfaction, while Lide wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief. Using dead men to suppress living ones, what can the living say?

  The receiver that had been thrown aside was still buzzing with a faint hum, and Li De carefully picked it up and put it to his ear. He heard G?ring continuing to ramble on: "My Führer, I've just reached the fifth reason, now I'll give you the sixth point: there's another advantage for you in going to Munich - that is, being reunited with Eva. During your hospital stay, others have had to take care of your personal hygiene; now that you're recovered, it's only right that you should reciprocate their kindness. Let me whisper a secret to you: on the day you were hospitalized, Eva rushed to the hospital and her first concern was whether that thing of yours had been injured... Führer, why aren't you saying anything? It's too embarrassing for me to be speaking alone like this."

  Li De couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly hung up the phone.

  The phone rang again, he guessed it should be Ribbentrop's turn, but heard Himmler's excited voice: "My Führer, in order to eradicate rumors from the source and not believe or spread rumors, I am prepared to make a suggestion to the public security department, spreading rumors of more than 500 people constitutes a crime."

  Li De had no choice but to agree, and wondered: wouldn't it be one person per number? Alright, this time the rumor I spread was only known by 499 people, come catch me if you can, heh.

  On the other end of the phone came the deep, resonant voice of the Foreign Minister: "My Premier, I think it is unwise and also dangerous to force you to attend any kind of gathering when your body has not fully recovered."

  "Thank you, thank you." Li De almost took him as a kindred spirit. Before he knew it, Goebbels quietly stood beside him and said with some malice after Li De hung up the phone: "This Ribbentrop, his name was bought with money, wealth acquired through marriage, official position obtained by swindling, even the 'von' symbolizing nobility is also swindled."

  Lee had not yet expressed his attitude, and the red phone rang again. G?ring said roughly on the phone: "My Führer, I guess that dirty little champagne peddler will surely persuade you not to attend that meeting. He has no right to speak on this issue because he only joined the party on the eve of the Nazi Party's rise to power..."

  Li De was already at his wit's end with these subordinates. He couldn't help but wonder, on the same earth, how could there be such a big difference between China and foreign countries? He remembered when he was a kid, accompanying his father to watch Japanese movies, which were internal screenings of "Warlords". After watching it, his father, who was a section chief at that time, said indignantly: Those lower-ranking officers always cause trouble for their superiors. If they were in China, they would have been fired long ago.

  In China, superiors are just that - "leaders can rephrase when they say something wrong, but ordinary people will get slapped in the face." When superiors speak, it's not called speaking, it's called pointing out, and at a higher level, it becomes instructions. Subordinates nod their heads in agreement when leaders give speeches, and some even go further - if a leader says an egg has hair on it, someone will quickly chime in: "I see it too, and it's green hair!" But this unique national characteristic doesn't work abroad, not even in authoritarian Nazi Germany.

  Li De had no choice but to accompany Bowman to Munich immediately, despite feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

  "Miss Eva is also in Munich," said Bauman with a flattering tone. Li De responded with an "uh-huh", his spirit lifted.

  That evening, Li De-fei arrived in Munich and moved into the small house with a garden at 12 Wasserburger Strasse, which was a gift from Hitler to Eva. Bauman and other high-ranking entourage stayed at the Deutsche Haus hotel, while the soldiers of the Fuehrer's flag unit set up sentry posts around the little house.

  Li De called out to open the door, and followed the maid straight into the living room. What caught his eye was Aiwa lounging lazily on the sofa, with one foot dangling down, her Scottish sheepdog licking her feet. The music player was playing "I'll Follow You" by Mimie Tomita. A red-bellied grey sparrow in a birdcage was jumping up and down, chirping non-stop with its small beak: "Monster's coming, monster's coming."

  Li De touched the gauze on his nose, and the shadow in the glass window really looked like a monster. The sheepdog ran to the monster's side and sniffed at its feet, Aiwa quickly stood up and chased away this unfaithful beast.

  The air of late autumn is cool and refreshing, with a faint mist floating in the air. The soft chirping of birds echoes through the mist, carrying a crisp tail sound that wafts gently from afar. Li De and Eva are intoxicated in their love, savoring romance and serenity, sinking into a happy dreamland.

  After a shower, Eva leaned on Li De's arm and whispered: "Adolf, you've changed so much that I can hardly recognize you. The biggest change is that you're more humane now, I like it this way."

  The leader deliberately provoked her: "Do you like it? Do you like me pressing down on you?"

  Ava was shocked and then got up, the sound of physical impact started again.

  Li De stroked her smooth skin, listening to her continue: "We want to be the best in everything, naturally that includes in bed too."

  Li De pinned her down like a cheetah...

  ……

  In 1923, the Nazi Party grew to over 30,000 members and became a new political force in Germany. At that time, the German mark was plummeting, the financial sector was in chaos, and France and Belgium had occupied the Ruhr, sparking widespread outrage and patriotism among the German people. Hitler believed the time for seizing power had arrived, and he joined forces with former Army Chief of Staff R?hm to emulate Mussolini's March on Rome, using violence to overthrow the Weimar Republic.

  On November 8, 1923, at the Royal Beer Hall in Munich, while Bavarian State Commissioner Kahr was addressing about 3000 citizens who were drinking beer from large mugs, Hitler and his storm troopers surrounded the place, setting up machine guns at the entrance. Hitler entered the beer hall, jumped onto a table, fired a shot into the ceiling, and declared that "the national revolution has begun".

  He also falsely declared: "This hall has been occupied by 600 heavily armed men. No one is allowed to leave the hall. The Bavarian government and the German government have been overthrown, a provisional national government has been established, the army barracks and police stations have been occupied, and troops and police are marching into the city under the Nazi flag."

  At the time, Hitler was 34 years old and in a period of madness and instability, which ultimately led to the failure of the uprising. However, this move made him a nationally known political figure, and during his imprisonment, he completed writing "Mein Kampf".

  After Hitler came to power in 1933, he held a rally every year at the Bürgerbr?ukeller to celebrate the Beer Hall Putsch. In 1939, a time bomb was placed on a pillar close to the rostrum where Hitler was speaking; it was set to go off during his speech, but that evening Munich was fogged in, and Hitler left the beer cellar earlier than usual by plane, returning to Berlin by train. The fog saved Hitler's life just as the rain at the Weihaiwei Gorge did in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; 13 minutes after he left, the bomb exploded. After that, commemorative events were moved to the nearby L?wenbr?ukeller.

  Lee Teng shook hands with the old warriors at the Lion Beer Hall. These old comrades were amazed by the change of the leader. In the midst of hysterical cheers, the leader delivered a speech titled "Bravely Fighting for the Third Empire", and the memorial ceremony ended with the song "Horst Wessel".
