My Third Empire

Originally, the Bavarian state government was scheduled to hold a rally on the evening of November 21, which was attended by celebrities from both political and social circles in Munich. (Because of the sudden death of the president, the succession of President Hindenburg, and the secret establishment of the Greater Deutsches Party, a series of unexpected events affected the nobles and the army of Bavaria, so this reception that should have been held on November 8 was postponed to November. On the 21st, the Munich beer hall riot, which was supposed to break out on November 8th, was postponed to the 21st.)

As a local celebrity, Hitler was also invited to the banquet. He was huddled in a corner with members of the Nazi party such as Max Ammann, Rosenberg, Ulrich Graf, beside a pillar and inconspicuous. No one noticed his presence.

Twenty minutes after a local official named Carr began speaking, the entire rally was suddenly and completely interrupted. Goering burst into the hall with twenty-five armed Nazi party members. The venue suddenly became chaotic. Amid the confusion, Hitler pulled a pistol from his pocket, jumped into a chair with a roar, fired a shot into the ceiling, then jumped down and walked to the podium.

The national revolution has begun. Hitler shouted loudly: This hall has been occupied by six hundred people with heavy weapons, and no one is allowed to leave the hall. The Bavarian and German governments have been overthrown, and a provisional national government has been established. The army barracks and police station have been occupied, and the army and police are marching into the city under the Nazi flag.

Many in the hall were indignant at the brazenness of the young upstart trying to intimidate his way into the political arena, but no one could figure out the extent of Hitler's sheer bravado. Because after all, they all saw that there were really about six hundred stormtroopers outside the hall, and there was a machine gun at the gate.

With the assistance of Bonner, the former Munich police chief, Hitler had persuaded Flickr, an officer still working at the police station, to call the officers in the hall not to intervene. If anything happened, just report it and let him Goering maintained order in the hall. These orders were meticulously carried out by Frick, so the Nazis took control of the entire hall.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Hitler had Karl, Losov, and Cesser be driven into a room on the side. Meanwhile, Schebner Richter drove to Ludwigshof that night to pick up General Ludendorff, because Hitler wanted him to be the titular leader of his revolution.

Hitler was so excited that he began a dramatic meeting with Karl and his partners. Seeing Hitler coming in, Karl asked angrily, What do you want? We are government officials! You have no right to imprison us!

Hitler sneered, then waved his pistol and said to them: No one can get out of this room alive without my permission. I've stopped a new government with Ludendorff that will usher in the German people. Great victory!

At this time, however, Ludendorff didn't know anything about what happened. Hitler deceived everyone boldly: You have only one choice now: riot with me!

As he spoke, he swung his pistol and looked a little unhinged, which frightened Carl and the others.

Seeing his opponent frightened and flinched, Hitler became even more arrogant and shouted: I have four bullets in my pistol. If you are not willing to cooperate with me, I will give you three and leave the last bullet to you. Myself.

He pointed his pistol at his head and shouted, If I don't make it by tomorrow afternoon, I don't want this life.

Karl and the others were unexpectedly unmoved.

First, they found it difficult to fully take Hitler's madness into consideration, despite the guns and armed guards at the window; second, they felt that whoever came first at this time would be the first unlucky guy. Losov heard Karl and Cecil whispering behind him: Cheat.

At this time Karl tried his best to pretend to be brave and said: You can arrest me or shoot me. It doesn't matter whether I die or not. This sentence made Hitler on the opposite side.

Seiser then stepped forward and condemned Hitler for not keeping his promise: God! You promised me you would not stage a coup! Now you are trying to deceive me and ruin my reputation!

Hitler, who was still annoyed at first, was very guilty when he heard Seiser's words, but he still said firmly: Yes, I reneged on my own words. Please forgive me. But for the sake of the motherland, I have to do this.

He wanted to explain something more, but when he saw Karl begin to whisper to the silent Losov, he suddenly became furious and shouted, Don't speak without my permission.

The coup has so far made little real progress for Hitler. Later, he had to leave the room without saying a word, rushed into the hall, and announced to the others: The three people inside have agreed to form a new German government with me, and the Bavarian cabinet has stepped down. After hearing his words, There was cheers in the hall.

He pressed his palm to signal silence, and continued: So I propose that the Bavarian government consist of a regent and a chancellor with dictatorial powers. I propose that Mr. von Carr be the regent and Mr. Bona to be the regent. Chancellor. The government of sinners in November and the President of Germany have been announced to be removed. A new national government will be appointed today, in this place in Munich.

As in history, Hitler just playfully declared the victory of the Munich beer hall riot. At this time, he had not received the support of General Ludendorff, nor had any high-ranking government officials compromised, not even the attitude of the Wehrmacht, so he started his grand plan recklessly.

As soon as Hitler returned to the Nazi Party building, his conspirators Ludendorff arrived. He was angry at Hitler for keeping him in the dark: Adolf! You can't be so reckless! I'm not your pawn either! Did you ever think that if your move fails! I'll be taken to court too?

Hitler laughed: I will not fail! The German people will go to glory under my leadership! Go to victory!

But apparently he didn't succeed, and Ludendorff shouted furiously: You bastard! You let yourself, not me, be the future dictator of Germany! And let me be like a monkey to command your non-existent dictators. Army! Don't you think everyone is a fool?

However, Hitler was unmoved, and Ludendorff had to control himself and said to Hitler in as calm a tone as possible: Mr. Hitler! This is a national matter, and I can only advise others to cooperate. There is no way to really control their actions. !

Hitler shook his head and said, It's too late! We can't look back, our actions have been recorded in the history of the world. Seeing that Ludendorff had succumbed, his loyal subordinate Losov had to get up and compromise with Hitler: I will carry out Herr Hitler's wishes as orders.

Ludendorff's intervention was decisive. While Karl still dissented, Hitler used his last trump card. He said to Karl: If Your Excellency permits, I will drive immediately to meet His Majesty, the Dauphin of Bavaria, and tell him: 'The German people have risen and made amends for the unfair treatment of His Majesty's late father.'

Hearing these words, Carl, a royalist official who has been wavering, surrendered and immediately agreed to cooperate and serve as the king's representative. They reached a ostensible solidarity, and they all lined up to return to the hall.

As the audience jumped into their seats to cheer enthusiastically, each of them spoke short words from the podium, pledged allegiance, and shook hands. Hitler was overjoyed, relieved, and said excitedly: I am about to fulfill the oath I made five years ago when I was temporarily blind in the military hospital: to work tirelessly until the government of sinners in November. Overthrown until a strong, free and glorious Germany is again built upon the tragic ruins of today's Germany.

As soon as he finished speaking, his brown shirts gathered in the tavern shouted loudly: Germany above all else.

Everyone applauded and shouted after Hitler: Germany above all else!

In the continuous shouting, a man in a brown shirt walked out of the tavern. He saluted the brown shirt soldiers guarding the gate, then nodded and walked away and disappeared into the night.

In a small alley not far away, a man leaned against the wall and smoked a cigarette. When he saw a man in a brown shirt walking by, he threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground and stomped on it with his feet, and took it from the man in the brown shirt. After a note, the man in the brown shirt handed out the note, nodded and turned away.

He opened the note, and by the light from the window behind him and the moonlight, he vaguely read a small line of words: Hitler rioted in the beer hall, immediately notify the Gestapo commander Major Gaskel.

At 11:00 a.m. on November 22, the Nazis took action, and 3,000 Nazis and brown shirts regrouped outside the beer hall that night. They handed out a small number of rifles and ammunition, shouted slogans, and prepared to riot.

The unfettered procession, armed with various weapons, marched towards the centre of Munich under the leadership of Hitler, Goering and the famous General Enrique Ludendorff.

At the same time, in the Wehrmacht camp outside Munich, sirens pierced the sky, cars drove out of the warehouse, and rows of Wehrmacht armed with rifles were neatly arranged as the newly formed 22nd Division of the Wehrmacht. Soldiers, they are waiting for a key person to arrive.
