The Third Reich Chapter 41: financial crisis
This is a wonderful time!
Except for the defeated countries, other countries are prosperous!
Just after World War I, the victorious countries held the Paris Peace Conference and the Washington Conference, established the Versailles-Washington system, and temporarily adjusted the relations between the imperialist countries.
After the contradictions between countries were temporarily eliminated, the capitalist world was in a period of relative stability and entered a golden decade of rapid development.
However, a huge crisis came quietly.
October 24, 1929, New York Stock Exchange.
When I found that I could continue to make profits after investing my own dollars in the stock market, the speculation in the United States became stronger, the gap between the rich and the poor was widening, and wealth continued to accumulate in the hands of a few people.
The exchange is very lively every day. Today, it is Thursday. When people are waiting for the opening of the market and waiting for their purchased stocks to continue to rise, they are surprised to find that something is wrong!
Without any signs, the stock has begun to fall sharply!
"Damn it, get out of the stock!" Everyone was yelling, wanting to sell their own stock, which further increased the decline in stocks!
The stock index dropped from its highest point at 363! It fell by 20% that day!
This is a terrible Black Thursday!
With the decline in stocks, the American financial sector collapsed! Within a week, Americans lost $10 billion in wealth on the stock exchange!
This stock market crisis kicked off the 29-year economic crisis!
The whole country, the whole capitalist world, is a cry!
The number of companies that have closed down is 140,000 in the United States. There are also nearly 10,000 banks, 60,000 in Germany and 32,000 in the United Kingdom. There are more than 30 million fully unemployed workers in the capitalist world, and 40 to 45 million people are added to the half-unemployed!
The outbreak of the global economic crisis has caused the industrial level of each capitalist country to drop sharply! The people's living standards have dropped!
"Our chance has finally come!" In a house in Berlin, Hitler's face was full of excitement.
The economic crisis is erupting all over the world! The German people are suffering! At this time, the German people need new leaders!
came to power through election! This is Hitler's planned plan, and now, it's just time! Through the election, become the Prime Minister of Germany!
Hitler now aims at the position of prime minister, because it is almost impossible to become the president of Germany.
In recent years, the Weimar government has also carried out a transfer of power. In 25 years, Albert died of illness. Germany held the general election ahead of schedule. The various parties quarreled endlessly. In the end, Hindenburg, who had already been retired, was persuaded to return. After he returned, he became the new president of Germany with 37% of the votes.
Hindenburg is the most respected soldier by the German people! He fought the Austrian-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, and was promoted to general in 1903. After the outbreak of World War I, he was promoted to Field Marshal after defeating Russian troops in the Battle of Tannenberg on the Eastern Front.
After World War I, Hindenburg was even listed as Germany's number two war criminal. At the same time, Hindenburg became taller in the minds of the German people.
In the First World War, Hitler was only a corporal. This gap made Hitler dare not even imagine that he could replace Hindenburg.
However, being Hindenburg's assistant and the country's prime minister still has a chance!
"Chief, I suggest that we can start from two aspects." Under the seat, Cyric returned with a dusty face.
Several years of living in the desert have made Cyric's skin a little dark, and his face is also a little rough because of the wind and sand, but Cyric has become more mature.
Goring, Himmler, they all greet Cyric familiarly, only Roma, looking at Cyric's expression, it is always weird.
"Go ahead, Cyric." Hitler said to Cyric.
"First of all, we have to start with the current prime minister. Now the domestic economy is almost collapsing. This has a lot to do with his approach." Cyric said: "He is simply not qualified and it is impossible to let the German economy To get out of the predicament, he will bear the main responsibility for this economic crisis.
The current Chancellor Hermann Miller is also an old guy. He was born in 1876 and is now more than 50 years old. This traitor is he who signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of Germany. During the Weimar Republic, he served as Chancellor of Germany twice in 1920 and 1928-30.
He is a major member of the German Social Democratic Party.
Now, Cyric's opinion is quite straightforward. He must take the knife from this guy and attribute all the German economic problems to this guy!
Get out, make room!
Hitler nodded: "I think so too. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"Also, we want to be able to successfully campaign successfully, and to gain the power of the country, the support of Marshal Hindenburg is also indispensable." Cyric continued.
Marshal Hindenburg! As the most dazzling general in the First World War, Hindenburg's prestige in the country is quite high. If you want to succeed, you must have his support!
In later generations, it is the same. Without Hindenburg's support, Hitler would not be able to enter the power center of the country, and squeezed out other parties, and eventually became the only leader of Germany!
"Marshal Hindenburg has a big prejudice against us." Hitler said.
In the eyes of this old guy, Hitler is still the corporal of World War I! Moreover, Hitler's riot in the beer hall last time made the old guy very upset, and he also pulled in the old guy's closest partner, Ludendorff.
Therefore, the old guy had a poor impression of Hitler. In the past few years, Hitler has been trying to get through the relationship with Marshal Hindenburg. Yes, it was difficult.
"That's because he didn't see our efforts." Cyric said: "If we let him know that we are fully developing German equipment and we want to wash away the shame of World War I, Marshal Hindenburg would treat us Your impression will be greatly changed."
As the marshal who commanded the First World War, what was Hindenburg's attitude towards Britain and France? Of course I want to be ashamed!
"Cyric, is your judgment accurate? You can't take our hole cards to risk anymore." At this moment, Roma said to the side: "Do you know, in the eyes of those outside, you Just a clown."
Cyric knows what Roma is talking about. Regarding Libyan oil, Cyric has invested a lot of money in it, but now, no oil well has been drilled!
