The Rise of the Third Reich

Luo Luo, please give me a monthly pass. I have to work hard this month and get a few more. Can you give me a monthly pass to encourage me?

Feeling that the overall situation on the Soviet-German battlefield had been decided, Hersmann left the General Staff Headquarters in Zossen in a happy mood. Satisfied, he got into his Mercedes-Benz 770K car and drove to Berlin, where he presented to Defense Minister Schleicher. After announcing the good news to the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, who could only watch others fight but could not intervene in the war, the three of them went to the Charlottenburg Palace to "meet the Holy Spirit."

Although the current German emperor has no real power, when it comes to the "Russian issue", Hessmann, Hitler and others still have to respect William III. After all, William III's daughter-in-law is the heir to the Russian throne... If Tsarist Russia is truly restored with the support of Germany, theoretically when William III's grandson becomes emperor of the German people, the German Empire and the Russian Empire will become communists. You have made an alliance.

If you take into account the fact that the Russian Empire will join the European Community, Russia and Germany will even be completely unified in a few decades and become a super empire from the Atlantic to the Pacific!

And this is not only a victory for Germany and the German people, but also a victory for the Russian people. Because since the time of Peter the Great, Russia has been bent on integrating into Europe and becoming a European country.

Joining the European Community and finally uniting with the German Empire is undoubtedly a shortcut for Russia to integrate into Europe.

Moreover, Russia, which has lost two world wars and Ukraine, has no other way out than joining the European Community and European integration?

Without Ukraine’s coal, grain and sea ports, where else can Russia develop its industry? Going to the extremely cold Urals and Siberia? Who would go to those places where prisoners were exiled during the Tsarist Russia era? And it’s of little use if anyone is willing to go there, because the cost of building in a frozen tundra that’s closed to traffic is unimaginably high.

Therefore, if Russia wants to develop in the future, it can only integrate into Europe and rely on Europe to find its own position in the great division of labor of European integration. And only by acquiring Russia, an unusually vast country, can Europe rule the world forever...

When Hersmann, Hitler and Schleicher arrived at the Charlottenburg Palace, the German Crown Prince Louis Ferdinand and the Crown Princess Kira Kirillovna were talking non-stop with William III. The emperor talked about the above-mentioned fallacies of the "integration of Russia" theory.

…

"Two Imperial Marshals, Mr. Prime Minister," William III said to the three truly powerful people in a very polite tone, "Louis and Kira recently heard about a theory that Europe should integrate with Russia. I don't know what the three of you have. Never heard of it?”

"Your Majesty, I have heard of this theory." Hessmann glanced at the Crown Princess Kira who was sitting on a carved sofa. "I heard Queen Olga say something about it at Glücks Castle a week ago. "But it is very difficult to achieve integration with Russia, and the whole of Europe must pay the price. The first is a long and cruel war, because the Bolsheviks who now rule Russia are not easy opponents to defeat."

During the meeting in Glücksburg, in addition to using Prince Yusupov's only daughter (which meant a huge property inheritance) as bait to seduce little Hessmann, the Queen was talking to Hessmann about "Russia and Germany". "One body" and "Russia's integration into Europe".

However, Hessmann remained unmoved. After all, the Soviet Union was not easy to perish, and Russia had such a large population. If it really integrated into Europe, it would pose a certain threat to Germany's leadership position.

Adolf Hitler's opinion was somewhat close to Hersmann's, but not entirely consistent. He also said: "Your Majesty, the Russians are not an Aryan nation. They are inferior Slavs, and there are also many Tatars of ancestry. Not worthy of being a European!

If we really integrate with Russia, then the future German Empire and the European Community will most likely become another Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Of course, I am not opposed to grabbing more Russian land. If we can get the east of the Ural Mountains, then... Europe can accept another 30 million or 40 million Russians. "

Hitler had his own weird racial theory - in his view, the Aryan race was a family (probably excluding those Indian Aryans and Iranians who believed in God who had to be waited on to wipe their butts), and they Slavs were Outsiders do not cooperate with Aryans and enjoy the same treatment.

Therefore, Hitler fully supported the integration of the European Community with the "purer" Aryans such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium. This was what he wanted to do. Hitler was already very reluctant to treat Slavs, including Poles and Ukrainians, like European citizens and German citizens. Had it not been for the fact that Hirschmann and Schleicher, the two Junckers from East Germany, were both pro-Slavs, he would not have agreed at all.

As for the Russians, there are 100 million to tens of millions! If they are integrated into Europe, how much of the welfare of the European people will be left if they are averaged by them? How can this be done? Of course, if more than half of the Russians were driven to Siberia and the west of the Ural Mountains was turned into a German economic colony, then Hitler would be very willing...

William III touched the dust on his nose twice and looked at Bald Marshal Schleicher again.

Schleicher frowned in embarrassment. In fact, he supported the "Russia-fusion theory." Because after he retired from the army, he became the leader of the Motherland Party, which represents the interests of the middle and upper classes. They don't worry about Russians diluting their welfare, because they don't need social welfare at all.

And the political and economic benefits that integrating Russia will bring to the German upper class are far greater than excluding Russia from Europe!

"My Majesty," Schleicher said, carefully choosing his words, "if Russia is to be integrated into Europe, it means the demise of the Soviet Union! And the Soviet Union is a powerful and vast country, and so is the Bolshevik Party that rules there. A difficult enemy to deal with. If we want to destroy them, we will inevitably face a long and painful war...and this should be a last resort choice."

"A last resort?" Emperor William heard something of the meaning, "What is a last resort?"

"The Soviet Union rejects our peace terms," ​​Schleicher said slowly. "This possibility also exists."

"Does it exist?" The emperor looked at Hitler and Hersmann with questioning eyes.

"If the Soviets reject our peace terms," ​​Hersman said, "then fusion with Russia is the only right choice, because we must not accept the existence of a strong Soviet Union that retains half of Ukraine beyond its eastern borders."

On this issue, Hersman is now wavering. Because his political stance is basically the same as that of Schleicher, and he also represents the interests of the middle and upper classes. In the future, after he retires from the army, he will probably become a leader of the Fatherland Party, and may even be elected as the Chancellor of Germany, so it is impossible for him to fundamentally oppose the integration of Russia.

And although integrating Russia is difficult, it is still possible to succeed as long as you persist. Once the integration of Russia is successful, the size of the United States will not be worth mentioning in front of "Greater Europe".

…

"Marshal Reich, you don't really think you can turn 100 million Russians into European citizens, do you?"

When leaving Charlottenburg Palace, German Chancellor Hitler and Hersmann got into the same car. The two of them also discussed peace negotiations - negotiations with the Soviet Union that Hersmann had always controlled and that the German government had only recently joined.

And the negotiation table is ultimately a continuation of the battlefield! Therefore, as Chief of General Staff, Hessmann is bound to participate in peace negotiations.

However, after Hitler got into Hessmann's Mercedes-Benz limousine, he directly asked about "Russia integration".

"Well..." Hersman shrugged and said with a wry smile, "This is not something we can decide. If Stalin is unwilling to hand over half of Ukraine and half of Belarus to us, what can we do? We can't Let the Soviet Union continue to control the industries and resources of Eastern Ukraine? I remember Lenin once said that Russia cannot be strong without Ukraine, so we cannot hand Ukraine over to Russia.”

"Of course," Hitler nodded seriously. "Allowing the Soviet Union to continue to control Eastern Ukraine would be suicide for Europe!" He waved his fist. "We must poach Ukraine entirely from the Soviet Union. If they don't agree , then we... we will fight until they agree!"

Beat them until they agree? It’s really hard to grasp the scale!

Hersman scratched his head and said: "Leader, if the Russian Empire is really restored, we actually don't need to include Russia into the European Community immediately. Russia needs to carry out many reforms and become a real European country before it can join. And these reforms will naturally be carried out with our help. I think... it will take 10 to 20 years."

"10-20 years?" Hitler snorted softly, "That's 100 million Slavs!"

Hessmann spread his hands and said, "What else can we do? We can't kill all the Russians, can we?"

Hitler actually agreed with this idea, but today's Germany is not Nazi Germany...

Seeing Hitler's gloomy face, Hessmann could only smile bitterly and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, let's try to reach an agreement with Molotov... Our demands are not excessive now, and I believe there is a high possibility of success." ”

Hessmann’s words were not taken for granted, because he knew that in the early days of World War II, Stalin, who was stunned, had proposed peace conditions for ceding Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic countries, but Hitler was also confused at the time, and actually No consent.
