1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The Stormtroopers used to be so bad that everyone would be flattered if they were portrayed a little more humanely, not to mention that they not only maintained law and order, cracked down on crime and sabotage, and restored social order, but even did some work like "sweeping the streets."

It's unheard of.

So, what if Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi Party, Hitler's base, and the center of the Nazi movement?

Ordinary people don't recognize those things at all until they get real benefits.

It's funny to say that because the Sturmabteilung in Munich was becoming less and less like a mob, and Röhm never declared that he would leave the Nazi Party archives, the people who received help actually became more supportive of the Nazi Party!

The shouts of "Long live the Führer, long live the Prime Minister" were more sincere than before.

Rom and the others were a little uncomfortable at first, but then they changed their minds and realized that they couldn't and didn't need a proper official title for the time being. Wearing this layer of skin was actually a kind of protection. Let the people shout whatever they wanted!

After all, it wasn't Hitler himself who had direct contact with the common people. Secondly, of course, he would win over the gentry, the three-seven...

Ahem, by promising more autonomy and resource allocation, they actively wooed the already disgruntled Bavarian local elites to secretly rebel against the Berlin central government;

He used Strasser's reputation within the Nazi Party and Schleicher's military background to attract Nazi Party members, politicians and military personnel who were dissatisfied with Hitler's rule and various policies to come and join him.

Force local government agencies to take sides. Those who are willing to obey Roma's orders will stay to see the results, while those who disobey will be directly removed on various charges such as corruption. Don't ask, the answer is "special measures can be used during emergency martial law."

Again, publicity cannot be neglected.

Although we can't shout about "New Germany" publicly, there's nothing wrong with making full use of Bavaria's local sentiment and emphasizing the unique culture and historical traditions of the southern region, right?

Although I couldn't criticize Hitler publicly, I could still curse the SS for their "malicious attacks that caused the tragedy" and talk about all the good things I had done recently. Isn't that okay?

Although they couldn't capture or kill Himmler, they could still use the rebellious Heins and the SA as target practice, accusing them of collaborating with the SS, intending to rebel, and raping and looting, and then expel the SS and "related individuals." That shouldn't be a problem, right?

Hey, these days, people are more likely to believe whoever says it first. This is the essence of the saying, "It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it." Finally, of course, the next step is to seek external support.

A group of people quickly went to Paris.

To be honest, like most "external forces", the French initially thought that the "Munich Riots" was a very ordinary internal struggle within the Nazi Party. It was not until they discovered that the SA began to mobilize on a large scale that they realized something was wrong.

But even so, they never expected that Röhm's representative, Karl Ernst, would come to them so quickly and ask France to provide military and economic assistance to the SA!

Now, even the most politically insensitive people knew that something earth-shattering had happened in Germany.

Even though Karl was vague and unwilling to tell the truth, and even though he didn't know the other party's complete plan, how could people as astute as President Lebrun and Prime Minister Daladier not guess the general situation?

Wow, it turns out Röhm didn't have a conflict with the SS or Himmler, but rather with the SA and Hitler?

It seems that the situation is very serious, and Germany may even be divided?

Otherwise, how could the local forces of Bavaria directly bypass the Berlin Central Government to seek help from their mortal enemy France?

Hey!

Cool! !!

No matter who wants to attack Germany, France must lend a hand! What?

Are Germans going to fight Germans? Dog bites dog, that's even better!

Therefore, the French government showed an efficiency second only to that when dealing with Britain. Not only did it quickly approve the secret aid plan, it also decisively asked Karl to bring more than a dozen train cars of weapons as gifts on his return journey.

Anyway, we are just clearing out the old inventory of World War I and leaving it to the Germans to fight the Germans. No one will feel bad!

The more Germans die, the safer France will be!

Perhaps the Maginot Line, which was impregnable but extremely expensive and caused great suffering to the entire French people, would no longer need to be repaired!

Of course, this kind of big commotion couldn't be hidden from anyone, but no one, whether the helpers or the people being helped, cared.

The French were hoping that after Hitler knew about this, he would break up with Röhm and lead to a direct war between the "two Germanys", but Röhm was not worried about being found out.

Because, in Germany, "expanding the army" and "strengthening armaments" are "politically correct" in a sense, and even Hitler himself took the lead in doing similar things.

Otherwise, how did "paramilitary organizations" like the SA and the SS, and the countless "flying clubs" and "aviation enthusiasts associations" come about?

Why did the German government and the Wehrmacht actively contact the Soviet Union and send technicians to help the Soviet Union develop its military industry in exchange for establishing military bases and obtaining resource support in the Soviet Union?

Before it was fully developed, Germany wanted to go beyond the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles and enhance its military strength. This was the only way to do it!

It doesn't matter who gave you the weapons; what matters is that you have the weapons!

Even if this matter were known, Röhm could easily say that Hitler had ordered him to do it. Not only would the people not denounce Röhm for "colluding with external forces", but they would actually praise "Rohm for his cleverness in being able to cheat weapons and equipment from the French"!

Therefore, in addition to the French, Röhm also sent people to contact the Soviet intelligence agency in Munich and made the same request for assistance. This situation was reported all the way to Artur Artuzov, who was responsible for German intelligence.

The latter did not dare to delay and went to the Kremlin immediately. At this time, Stalin was stunned by another piece of information - Hitler's request for assistance and deepening cooperation.

My goodness, what is wrong with Hitler?

It was not surprising that Germany sought cooperation with the Soviet Union. This began after the restoration of diplomatic relations in 1922. It was not until Hitler came to power that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany was overshadowed.

After all, this guy clearly pointed out in his "Mein Kampf" that the Soviet Union was one of the biggest threats to Germany, and he would firmly oppose the Soviet Union and the Communist Party, which would of course make the Soviet Union unhappy.

So, why are they coming to us for help now?

Weren't we still anti-communist a few months ago?

After learning that the SA's Rohm had also come to the Soviet Union for aid, Stalin could no longer hold back and, like the two French men, guessed the problem:

Germany's internal conflicts are rapidly intensifying and may even develop into a civil war.

"Comrade Artuzov, do you have any more information about the Munich incident?"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, the comrades over there reported that there was a fierce exchange of fire between the SA and the SS, and there was also civil unrest within the SA, and then..."

"I see.."

Stalin took a deep puff of his cigarette. He now understood exactly what Rohm was up to.

"We need more intelligence, especially the forces behind Röhm. Comrade Artuzov, mobilize Germany internally. If that doesn't work, transfer Comrade Sorge back from China."

"Yes."

After Artuzov left, Stalin called several core members over and informed them of the situation:

"...Comrades, we seem to have a golden opportunity not only to weaken Hitler as an anti-communist, but also to expand Soviet influence in Europe."

Molotov frowned:

"Comrade Stalin, do you mean that we should support Röhm and reject Hitler?"

"No, no, no. We should provide assistance to both sides at the same time, but we should not let either side know that we are also supporting their opponents. That way, they will consume each other in the struggle, and we can reap the benefits."

Lazar Kaganovich added:

"Yes, we must ensure that our aid does not give either of them an overwhelming advantage, which would cause Germany to fall into internal strife and give the German Communist Party a chance to return to power."

"That's right. Since both Hitler and Röhm have come to us, we should do this. This way, no matter which side wins in the future internal struggle in Germany, the Soviet Union will benefit from it."

Most people supported this idea, but Kirov pondered for a moment and raised another key question:

"Comrade Stalin, if Britain and France also intervene in the internal struggle in Germany, how should we respond?"

"That's even better!"

Stalin waved his hand nonchalantly:

"If we interfere in German affairs, it will focus Britain and France's attention on the German issue, thereby weakening their influence in other parts of Europe and causing them less trouble for the Soviet Union! This will affect the domestic industrial and agricultural reforms!"

"understood."

"Very good. Tell Hitler that the Soviet Union is willing to provide the necessary assistance, but on the condition that he must guarantee cooperation on Eastern European issues... Tell Röhm that we can support his 'National Socialist' cause..."

On the other side of the English Channel, the British also received Hitler's request for assistance.

However, it was slightly different from what Haruta had in mind.

The British top leaders did not agree to provide aid at first. Instead, they were still evaluating whether Rohm was strong enough to overthrow Hitler, and if so, whether it would make Germany stronger.

Britain was not satisfied that Germany was too powerful and would pose a threat to itself; Britain was also not satisfied that Germany was too weak and could not contain France.

A good Germany is one that is neither weak nor strong, can perfectly play the role of a thug, disrupt the whole of Europe but will not threaten itself.

But then someone reminded him that Rohm was a radical nationalist, national socialist, anti-capitalist plutocracy and militarized socialist who always advocated protecting the interests of the working class and ordinary people.

(However, Röhm was actually quite anti-communist - he resolutely suppressed the Bavarian Soviet and had no good feelings towards the Soviet Union. It seems that this was because he was disgusted by the actions of the Communist International and the German Communist Party before and after World War I.)

Now, he is mixed up with two blatant socialists and may ask for help from the red bear on the other side.

In other words, the southern region of Germany and even the whole of Germany are at risk of "becoming red".

Now the masters immediately understood what they had to do—they had to aid Hitler and suppress Röhm!

Damn it, Hitler led Germany to rise, and all he did was kill a few Jews. If communism had flourished in Germany, everyone would have gone to the street lamp for eternity!

And damn the French!

It's just money! I'll give it to you!

From now on, whether it's in the United States, China, or Germany, I, the British prince, will foot the bill!

Britain will not stop until the last Indian penny is gone!

In this way, Hitler asked for help from the Soviet Union and Britain at the same time, and Röhm asked for help from France and the Soviet Union at the same time. The silent confrontation between the two Germanys officially began.

The hurricane blowing from the other side of the Atlantic completely disrupted the entire world line.

523 Teacher Kobayashi's Cultural Integration

"A, O, E...Okay, classmates, read it with me again!" "A, O, E..."

Listening to the neat recitation coming from the clean and bright classroom, Principal Lu outside the door smiled like an aunt.

After almost two months of hard work since the start of school, everything is finally starting to get back on track.

The education cause of the Five-Star Oriental Republic, which was taken over by Minister of Education He Baozhen and Education Director Zhou Xun (dog head), had a more difficult start than the historically impoverished New China.

Although they had no shortage of teaching materials, funding, equipment, and facilities, and Fujiwara Kanezane had given them absolute support and a great deal of autonomy, the problem was that the people directly responsible for and involved in this matter were too complicated!

Whether it is the staff of the Ministry of Education or the teachers and students, their composition basically includes Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Mongolians, Koreans and even a small number of British and Americans!

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to bring together so many people from different countries, nationalities, races and personalities to work, live and study together.

By the way, after getting enough benefits from the Jews, in order to dilute the concept of "Jews", Fujiwara Kanezane generously allowed them to work in the education department.

Otherwise, when Springfield has publicly announced that it wants to exterminate Judaism and many Jews have already voluntarily converted, continuing to "discriminate" against them will only exacerbate the Jewish identity.

It's not so difficult to find a job in the Five-Star Eastern Republic. If you can't speak Northeastern dialect or write Chinese characters, especially simplified Chinese, you won't be able to get by, let alone enter the official department.

But the students' problem is a bit difficult to solve.

Not only do the applicants come from all over the world, with different family backgrounds and cultures, but the age difference is also huge.

Take the first grade of primary school as an example. The youngest is 6 years old and the oldest is 15 years old!

这是因为藤原兼实强制要求所有6-12岁的儿童，哪怕之前已经在旧式小学里读过，也必须在“新小学内”至少读完6年,以补助的形式鼓励12-16岁的少年入学读书。

Under such circumstances, the difficulty of teaching can be imagined.

Lu Xun will always remember the scene he saw when he visited Shenyang No. 1 People's Primary School on March 3, the first day of school:

Just getting this group of little kids, tall and short, of all ages, speaking different languages, and numbering no more than 600 people, to line up took the entire faculty and staff three full hours, and the screams and howls in between drove everyone mad.

At that moment, Lu Xun finally understood why Fujiwara no Kanezane required all children and teenagers to go to school, and the first lesson in school was to invite people from the 129th Division to conduct military training and stand at attention.

Without unified thinking, common understanding, and strict discipline, do you still expect them to sit quietly in the classroom and study, and build this country well in the future?

In fact, even after going through military training, various problems arose one after another. A Jewish girl was pursued (and harassed) by a precocious Russian boy; a 13-year-old Han Chinese brother beat up a 10-year-old Mongolian child because his younger brother was bullied;

North Korean teenagers ganged up on the children of the Osaka Division and got into a fight. One of the latter actually pulled out a small wakizashi...

Adults will weigh the pros and cons and be hypocritical, but children won't. In the first month of school, there were 20 to 30 incidents of injuries in schools across the country. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries or deaths.

However, this kind of thing is relatively simple to resolve - regardless of ethnicity, country, or background, whoever starts the trouble will be punished, and the person and even the parents behind him will be dealt with equally.

—Equal treatment and fairness are the foundation of the Five-Star Oriental Republic, and no one has the right to violate it.

what?

You said your father is a certain cadre.

Thank you for your tremendous contribution to the goals set by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Discipline itself has a foundation in social integration, and can be enforced through coercion and constraints. So, after a month of this, even the most mischievous children don't dare to cause trouble on campus.

But the teaching task is the disaster for all teaching staff.

For example, the first thing every elementary school student learns is the new Chinese Pinyin. Writing is a bit easier; you can just copy what the teacher writes, but pronunciation drives both teachers and students crazy.

Even the simplest sound "a" is pronounced very differently by everyone due to different backgrounds, the influence of their native language and their parents' speech.

The Korean students pursed their lips and stretched out the tone, the Japanese students pronounced it as the Japanese word "南", and the Russian students even pronounced it as a palatal sound, which sounded very strange.

This is true for vowels and even more so for consonants. A typical example is "r". No matter how many times Japanese children are taught, after struggling to learn it on the first day, they will still pronounce it as "ah-ru" the next day.
