1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

When Hitler heard about Röhm's telegram, he completely exploded and threw the document to the ground:

"That traitor! That traitor! Shameless! Shameless! How dare he play such a ridiculous trick under my nose!!"

To be honest, this set of small combos is actually not uncommon, but because it was Rohm, it was completely beyond Berlin's expectations.

I thought that after we gave Rom the order to deal with the riot, they would only have three options:

1. Disobeying orders - This way the Nazi Party and the Chancellery could shift all the blame onto Röhm, giving them ample reason to order the suppression of the SA;

2. Obey orders - this way the Nazi Party and the Chancellery could quell the riots without spending a single soldier, and then slowly deal with Röhm, who had lost the support of the people.

3. Hesitation - that's even more reason to deal with him!

No one expected that Röhm would dare to publicly shift the blame, saying that the SS inexplicably attacked the SA first, which led to this series of tragedies!

The decision was made too quickly and the words were too logical, which made Berlin lose the initiative. The propaganda master Goebbels couldn't think of any angle to refute Röhm.

Most importantly, by doing this, Röhm not only shirked his own responsibility, but also weakened the conflict between the local and central governments into a conflict between the SS and the SA, allowing the Nazi Party to choose who to side with!

Now, the Nazi Party couldn't even directly order the suppression of Röhm and the SA.

It's just another outbreak of the usual internal conflict between the two major factions within the Party. Is your Central Committee really so biased?

Isn't that bullying an honest person?!

Looking at the "crying letter" sent by Röhm, Hitler was so angry that his head hurt, and he even had the absurd idea that "what this guy said could be true."

Do not!

This couldn't possibly be Rom's method!

There must be someone behind Roma giving him advice!

This time, Hitler did not immediately summon the top leaders of the Nazi Party, but waited quietly.

Sure enough, soon after, more new news came:

Röhm continued to harshly condemn the SS and Himmler, demanding a clear explanation from them. He also continued to publicly complain to various factions and explain his actions, making it known to the world.

The SA was deployed on a large scale, with the slogan "Maintaining public order and protecting the people", expelling the SS, treating the masses, stabilizing the area, taking over the administrative and military institutions of Munich, and controlling the surrounding areas;

Stormtroopers in other parts of Germany also received orders. Some remained in place, guarding their camps, while others marched out in full force, heading towards Munich...

Among this series of news, the worst are the following two:

1. U.S. President John F. Kennedy, who was visiting Belgium, expressed concern about what happened in Munich, expressed sympathy for the innocent victims, condemned the SS and SA riots, and praised Röhm's "decisive and effective actions";

2. Former Chancellor Schleicher and former Nazi Party second-in-command Strasser appeared publicly in Munich, under the banner of "helping to stabilize the situation", and participated in work such as pacifying the people, propaganda speeches, etc.

"Damn traitor! How dare he collude with my enemies! !"

After learning all this, Hitler slammed the table in anger, and Goering beside him said cautiously:

"My Führer, Röhm has completely betrayed us. I suggest that the SS and the Wehrmacht be mobilized immediately to launch a comprehensive crackdown on Munich."

Goebbels then added:

"In addition, we should expose Roma's crimes to the whole country through the media so that the public can understand his true face."

"That's right..."

"...Do you think I don't know this?"

Hitler gave a cold look to the few people who were still trying to join in the fun and said, "The question is, under what pretext do you intend to suppress Röhm? Suppress the SA? Graft? Corruption? Or conspiracy to rebel?"

"Uh..."

Several people reacted and were speechless for a moment. On the surface, Rom did not betray!

So far, he has publicly sworn "eternal allegiance to the Führer and eternal loyalty to Germany"!

Berlin's direct order to suppress the movement would not only fail to gain a moral advantage, but would also lead to a complete break with Röhm and the SA.

Röhm was not prepared, but Hitler and his men were even less prepared, otherwise they would not have been caught off guard.

Secretary Martin pointed at the folder and emphasized:

"There's another question. The Führer has always suspected that the American woman was secretly supporting Rohm, but now it seems he's convinced... What kind of support did she give Rohm? Could she have been behind this incident?"

"If that's the case, things will get complicated. We not only have to deal with Roma, but we also have to guard against U.S. involvement."

After a discussion, everyone was shocked to find that the situation had deteriorated to an unimaginable degree in a short period of time.

No one would believe that Rohm could still be loyal after such a move, but the possibility of taking action against Munich has been reduced to an infinitely low level;

What if the US is just waiting for the two sides to fight and Germany to officially fall into civil strife so that it can intervene in Germany's internal affairs in the name of "humanitarian aid"?

To deal with Roma, there must be a sufficient legitimate reason, and we must seize the opportunity to strike a fatal blow and never give the United States any opportunity to react.

Goebbels thought for a moment and murmured:

"My Führer, perhaps we can start from the perspective of 'colluding with external forces and splitting the country'."

Hitler narrowed his eyes and said nothing, so Goebbels continued to explain his thoughts:

"We must continue to publicize and provide evidence to make the people of the country understand that Roma's actions are the result of external interference. If so..."

In this case, the German people would absolutely be disgusted with the actions of Röhm and his accomplices and would not support their "autonomy" behavior;

It just so happened that Springfield would have contact with Rohm when he visited Germany. As long as he found some issues, made up some rumors, and created some trouble, the people would have to believe it whether they believed it or not.

The only problem is that by doing so, they would seriously offend the United States and Field.

But Hitler hesitated for only a few seconds before quickly making up his mind.

Anyway, that woman has always been unkind to me, and this time she even extended her hand to me, so I'll just let her be offended!

At worst, we can seek support from Britain or the Soviet Union!

Britain, as a world hegemon, must be wary of the rise of the United States and would certainly be willing to relax some regulations and increase some support to make Germany stronger;

The Soviet Union - The United States is a capitalist country and a mortal enemy of the socialist Soviet Union. They must not want to see Germany being dealt with like this and the American influence penetrate into the heart of Europe.

"Very good, that's it..."

At this moment, the secretary hurried into the office with a telegram in his hand:

"Head of State! President Springfield of the United States suddenly announced publicly that he would stop visiting Germany!!" "?!"

522 Atlantic hurricanes

"...In view of this, we regretfully have to inform you that Ms. Field will soon be concluding her European visit..."

After the US State Department and White House spokespersons announced the ins and outs of the news, all of Europe expressed understanding. Even Britain and Germany, which had been stood up, had to hold their noses and say a few words of praise.

why?

Because the historically famous "1933 Atlantic Hurricane Season" is about to break out. How terrible will this hurricane season be?

短短半年内，仅在加勒比地区和美国东海岸附近就爆发了21场热带风暴和11场飓风，其中有6场达到主要飓风强度，6月28日到10月7日，整个大西洋上只有13天没有热带气旋存在。

One can imagine how much damage would be caused in 1933.

Why say "soon"?

Because Springfield predicted the arrival of this major hurricane season at the beginning of the year, it not only issued disaster relief preparation orders to the states on the East Coast in advance, but also reminded South American countries to be careful.

As a result, on May 14th, a US weather ship observed the first major hurricane, Hurricane No. 1, which was the first time a hurricane was observed in May since 1851.

Subsequently, passing ships and individuals continued to discover hurricanes or the eye of the storm. In less than two weeks, six cases had been reported by various countries, one of which directly destroyed a Mexican town!

Now, even the most foolish and Saint-hating person had to admit that Ms. Field's prediction might come true:

—A great disaster is imminent.

Seeing the suffering that the American people and the people of South America were about to endure, how could Her Highness sit still?

As a result, the White House urgently called off the visit and expressed sincere apologies to the countries, organizations, and individuals originally scheduled to visit. The response was very consistent:

Ms. Field, it's okay. It's just a visit. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We don't need this little moment!

Only an idiot would express dissatisfaction with this.

Having said that, apart from individuals and certain special international organizations, the main countries that were stood up were actually the United Kingdom, Germany and the Soviet Union, and it was obvious that a certain lady president did this on purpose.

In fact, even if the incidents with Röhm and the SA had not happened, Springfield had already prepared to cancel his plans and had no intention of actively visiting these three countries.

Needless to say, the UK is the biggest target of the US's struggle and has long regarded the US as a challenger. Even if the US takes the initiative to show goodwill, it will not get any favorable results. The visit is a pure waste of time.

Just like China in later generations, it has been trying hard to keep a low profile, but its size is there and it cannot be hidden after all. It has endured for decades but has not gained any respect from the United States. Finally, it shouted "You are not qualified to talk to China from the perspective of strength", which made the other side behave itself.

The United States and Britain are of the same lineage. American imperialism only understands slaps and scolding, and will only restrain itself after being slapped in the face. The same is true for British imperialism.

Germany is the "source of trouble" in Europe in the future and an important chess piece in the commander's European layout. Even if Springfield went there, he would only go to offend the other side. He has no intention of providing large amounts of aid to Germany and forcing the little mustache to start a war as in history.

Now, Röhm was creating a de facto split in southern Germany and preparing to implement formal "National Socialism." This would inevitably distract the attention of the Germans and arouse the vigilance of Great Britain, and would even more likely lead to Soviet intervention.

Britain's hostility towards communism and socialism was ingrained in the DNA of every high-ranking official. To prevent Southern Germany from becoming truly communist, they would inevitably lend money and provide aid to the "Little Mustache" and suppress Southern Germany, represented by Rohm.

However, the division of Germany into two halves was in line with France's overall national interests. France was very happy to see Germany weaken. In addition, Britain and France had a deep friendship that lasted for hundreds of years, so France would inevitably assist South Germany in its fight against North Germany.

In this way, Britain and France were both actively and passively involved, and the United States could sit on the sidelines and watch the show, interfering in Germany's internal affairs and controlling the European situation without interfering.

Does it look familiar?

That’s right, the United States later used similar methods to play with the entire Europe using just Ukraine, but the means and the way it was done were even uglier.

As for the Soviet Union...

To be honest, the main purpose is to give the other party some air time so as to gain a greater advantage in future cooperation.

After all, this is Maozi.

If the Russians think that the United States is afraid of them or that Springfield is being overly friendly, who knows if they will suddenly go crazy at some point.

It’s just like when they were so full of themselves that they pushed their most capable little brother to the American side.

Moreover, the US has proactively shown goodwill so many times, but this damn Pilin has only been asking for various kinds of assistance and has never taken the initiative once!

For example, even though we have hinted and stated several times that the Soviet Union should quickly establish diplomatic relations with the "Five-Star Eastern Republic" or at least recognize it, they have always pretended not to understand.

Commander, you're being kind, right?

In that case, I won't bother visiting you anymore. I'll wait for you to come to me!

Anyway, it is not the United States that is more anxious.

The President flew from Belgium to the port of Le Havre, France, boarded the fleet that had been flexing its muscles in the English Channel for a long time, and headed to Washington with a group of people.

Springfield's global visit has basically ended, but it seems not to have ended. She left, but it seems not to have left. The waves brought about by several actions are still sweeping across Europe like a hurricane, changing the choices of many forces.

Due to Springfield's statement and timely departure, Hitler failed to seize the opportunity to cause trouble and was forced to "recognize" the "Röhm regime" and reluctantly praise the other party's "decisive and swift actions."

There was no way. The size of Röhm's stormtroopers was too large, and Röhm himself was no longer foolish enough to continue to obey Hitler while causing conflicts. As a result, this force posed too great a threat to the new Hitler regime, so he did not dare to tear his face off easily.

Of course, the most important reason was that, under the desperate persuasion of Schleicher, a former senior officer and former chancellor from a military family, Hindenburg expressed his position on behalf of the Wehrmacht and the German Junker Group:

This is an internal struggle within the Nazi Party. We will not get involved. We hope that Chancellor Hitler can handle it as soon as possible.

It is obvious that Hindenburg and most other non-Nazi German leaders did not regard the "Munich Riots" as a big deal at all.

We've all seen the hilarious scene of the SA burning down the Nazi Party's Berlin headquarters. Who wants to get involved in this small-scale dog-eat-dog fight in the far south?

This statement meant that the Wehrmacht, the most elite part of the German military, refused to intervene.

Although the German army was strictly restricted by the Treaty of Versailles and its total number was no more than 100,000, its seven infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions were all highly professional, and their combat effectiveness was far beyond that of the SS or the "paramilitary organization" SA.

Without the support of the Wehrmacht, the SS would have been unable to defeat the SA. Unfortunately, Hitler couldn't tell Hindenburg about the inside story, and even if he did, he wouldn't have believed it, so he had to suffer this loss in silence.

How to do it?

While cursing and praying that Röhm or Hindenburg, the old bastard, would die suddenly, Xier continued to desperately expand the SS and began to organize manpower, intending to use assassination means to get rid of Röhm and his team.

This is something.

The "trio" of Röhm, Strasser and Schleicher, who had not been disturbed too much for the time being, quickly seized the opportunity and began to gradually consolidate their "new regime" in southern Germany.

Is it difficult?

Not difficult.

As early as in Washington and through multiple telegram exchanges, Springfield had already taught Rohm all the "secrets" on how to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the political situation.

First of all, of course, we must take drastic measures to reorganize the stormtroopers, which are the military guarantee of everything.

Matters such as restructuring the military organizational structure, clarifying the chain of command and division of responsibilities, and armed training are somewhat distant for the time being. The most urgent task is to consolidate the reform achievements of the past few months and at least reshape the image of Röhm himself and the entire SA.

Forget about replicating China's Red Army. As long as the "New Stormtroopers" can display one-third of the abilities of the "Neon Genesis Evangelion," it will be enough to quickly win the support of the Bavarian people.
