The Third Reich under the banner of the Third Empire Volume 3: The Song of Iron and Fire Chapter 11: Trade, What Trade?

  Hitler was helpless, and he still didn't know what had happened. In his office, Goering was having a spitting contest with Xu Yang, and it was clear that the young Xu Yang had the physical advantage. Xu Yang took advantage of Goering's pause to catch his breath and spat wildly.

  "It's great to be young......" Hitler found himself actually enjoying his little friend's uninhibited yelling, and he even thought that Xu Yang in his yelling was a bit like him. Why do people have to be so reserved all the time? Isn't it tiring?

  Sometimes, liking someone doesn't need a reason.

  Heidrich now looks like a good baby, sitting quietly in his seat, with his ears and nose observing his heart, as if only Herman was scared by the saliva that fell short. To be honest, Heidrich's spine is still cool, at the moment when the tank fired, he even thought he was dead.

  "What is this little guy up to?" Heidrich was all-knowing and all-seeing, his hobby was to uncover other people's secrets. Although he usually had a cold face, when he discovered valuable secrets, he could even hide in the quilt and laugh secretly for a whole day.

  Xu Yang seemed to have had enough of the bickering, he walked over and picked up the coffee on his desk, downing it in one gulp before turning around to face Gao Lin, ready to counterattack at any moment.

  Goring's face was iron-blue and he couldn't utter a word, he stared gloomily at the calm and collected 'My Fuehrer', finding that old Hitler was very different from usual. If it were usual times, whoever dared to speak loudly in his office would be met with a burst of anger from old Hitler. But now? That big-mouthed little rascal, that madman who dared to fire blank shots at an imperial dignitary, had been ranting and raving here for nearly half an hour.

  "When did I offend G?ring?" Hermann G?ring felt a bit suffocated, he was the meritorious general who had followed the old Führer for over a decade and deeply understood the old Führer's personality as a fat and lucky man. If someone could shout in front of "My Führer", it proved that person had a high position in "My Führer"'s heart. If shouting for dozens of minutes didn't make "My Führer" angry, it proved that "My Führer" could tolerate that person doing something out of line.

  Gao Lin didn't fight back, he's now extremely choked with rage, and almost had the urge to cry, his old face that has been maintained for half a lifetime was ruined by that little rascal's one burst of yelling!

  Hitler stood up, he finally took action.

  The dignitaries in the office immediately stood up and followed suit, thinking that the imperial dignitary must be punished a little.

  Hitler walked up to Xu Yang, opened his arms and made a hugging gesture, saying with extreme praise: "My little friend, I was right about you. Good, your courage has always been appreciated by me. Today, you finally let me see again that 'you haven't changed', you're still the fearless Kahn-Von-Stark I know." As he spoke, he had already hugged Xu Yang and whispered in his ear: "You must join my party now, otherwise this matter can't be suppressed. You're too impulsive!"

  Xu Yang smiled and nodded. This day... was bound to come sooner or later.

  "Great!!!" Hitler suddenly shouted, startling everyone. His expression was extremely excited, "Herman, isn't it just a blank cartridge? What are you afraid of? Are you still the Empire's brave warrior? Come on, come on... how can a brave warrior be intimidated by a single blank shot?"

  Goring seemed to swallow innumerable flies, he opened his mouth and almost choked on a breath. He thought Old Hitler had become somewhat unreasonable, and said very tactfully: "My Fuehrer, but... those empty cartridges are also cartridges, I once swore to follow you to conquer the world, now... I think I can no longer follow you forever, being frightened like that, your loyal subordinates have at least lost 10 years of their lives."

  Xu Yang said with a mocking tone: "Boring."

  This left old Heidrich stunned, G?ring was dumbfounded, and Heydrich looked incredulous. They all thought that Strasser must have been stimulated by something. How could it be boring to pledge allegiance to the Führer of the Empire?

  "Cough...cough..." Hitler didn't want the contradiction to escalate, he asked: "Kahr, you said you wanted supplies, but Herrmann refused?"

  Xu Yang's expression finally turned serious, he said: "Leader, I am now formally applying to join the National Socialist Party. I think I will be more useful than some selfish guy."

  "Who do you say is selfish?" G?ring jumped up, he was furious. What he least wanted was for others to think of him as selfish, especially in front of 'my Führer'. He should counterattack, "I gained thirty-odd pounds building the Empire's air force, I... I... I..." Several 'I's, G?ring felt very wronged.

  Hitler ignored G?ring and walked over to slap Xu Yang's shoulder in a show of familiarity, "Good! Very good! My little friend, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! Very good!"

  Hitler was also in a difficult situation, as his previous political propaganda had emphasized his close relationship with Xu Yang to appease the Junkers. In people's minds, Xu Yang was his most important partner and an indispensable person for the Nazi Party. After taking office, the Nazi Party faced an awkward situation: their most important partner, who was supposed to be indispensable, had not yet joined the party. How could this be? Not once, but several times, party cadres stressed that they must quickly absorb "your partner" into "your party", or else the party's image would be affected!

  This is Hal's credit, he always thought that his son would not be willing to be mediocre, and it was better to make preparations before 'that person' got the power. As a father, Hal was undoubtedly successful, he abandoned himself and gave the consciousness image he should have had to his son. Now, the road has been paved, just wait and see how Xu Yang will perform!

  Hitler sincerely extended his hand, "My partner, welcome to join our ranks!"

  Xu Yang did not extend his hand, he gave a military salute, "I will fight in the National Defense Army!"

  "Is it for our great cause?"

  "For our great undertaking!"

  The two of them exchanged a smile.

  Hitler was unaware of why he liked 'his little friend', the only thing that can be confirmed is that 'his little friend' always knew what he wanted to do and dared to talk back when he was furious, even refuting some strange high-pitched tones.

  It's cold at high places... As long as one is human, he hopes to have a friend.

  Before getting down to business, Xuyang needs to fill out a party membership application form, which will then be personally approved by Hitler, and the two of them will take a photo together. This photo will appear on the front page of all German newspapers tomorrow, this is to tell everyone; we are standing together now, no one can stop us!

  Ideology is a strange thing, it can influence the thinking ability of an entire nation. Where does ideology come from? Propaganda, propaganda! Forming an ideology requires doing too much. Xu Yang joining the Nazi Party is equivalent to telling everyone: Germany is ready!

  Something of great significance was settled just like that. Some people would see a lot, but more people would only see the black-and-white photo of Xu Yang and Hitler together in the newspaper.

  ……

  "I'll give you leadership of a region. How about Munich? That's our home town." Hitler still had the joy on his face.

  Goring wanted to say something, he thought this world was very unfair, he had just been ordered to allocate materials as soon as possible to help Xu Yang build the Third Armored Division, because that was the potential armed force of the National Socialist Party.

  Munich has become a high-density industrial zone, an area with abundant oil and water resources. Hitler handed over the leadership of Munich to Xuyang, which fully reflects his trust and importance attached to 'his little friend'.

  Compared to G?ring's sullenness, Heidrich seemed very pleased. He had just been appointed deputy leader of the Munich district, which meant that when Sepp Dietrich returned from building up the 3rd Panzer Division, he would be under Heidrich's command in Munich. He knew what Hitler's appointment meant - it was a way of giving Sepp a title without any real power, as control over Munich remained firmly in Hitler's hands (the Reich Security Service).

  But soon Heidrich was no longer happy.

  Xu Yang made a request, when he is not there, Foster and Wolf-Martin Heinrich will exercise his rights on his behalf. Xu Yang said very frankly; He needs these two people to control Munich for him.

  This left Hitler silent for a long time. He once again felt that Xu Yang was too similar to him, especially when it came to grasping power, with that kind of overbearing attitude, once grasped, it must be completely grasped. He acquiesced, thinking that it didn't matter, because Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi Party, 'he' couldn't do anything about it.

  Xu Yang stood up, "So our transaction is complete?" He glanced at G?ring who was shrinking into the sofa, "Although I don't want to apologize, but... Ah? Give the Führer some face. Hermann G?ring, I am deeply sorry for my behavior this afternoon!"

  "It's done!" Hitler also stood up, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

  His words carry too many uncertain factors...
