Chapter 1009 [Being a foreign businessman]

"What private identity?" Adolf tsk twice and looked at Wang Xueqian in surprise. He couldn't figure out why Wang Xueqian clearly had a noble identity but abandoned it. Instead, he arrived in Germany with a private identity.

Wang Xueqian took out a cigarette from his pocket. Adolf didn't smoke, and of course he also hated anyone smoking in front of him.

However, his identity in front of him could not stop Wang Xueqian's personal preferences, because in Munich, he was just a small person: "Sorry, I know you have too much hope for this reception. But this time I came to Germany was not for political reasons, but for commercial reasons. It was to negotiate some business cooperation matters. It was not purely political."

"Then your government? I mean, the Republic of China government didn't know that you came to Germany?" Adolf's question was a little nervous. Of course, he didn't have to be so nervous at first, after all, Wang Xueqian wouldn't eat him.

"I know, in fact, I came from Washington." Wang Xueqian's explanation unexpectedly did not resonate with Adolf: "It is mainly to discuss the level of naval warships in the Pacific region, the number of countries and the caliber of warship guns, and of course there are some regional disputes... Unfortunately, my motherland was not invited to discuss, but to listen to the results. In this case, no upright person would endure unreasonable deception and coercion. Therefore, he had to come to Europe to look for opportunities. Looking for opportunities for cooperation. If the Republic of China needs to develop, he had to embark on the road of industrialization. This time it was for technology and equipment, and of course it would leave enough funds."

It was only after Adolf pretended to nod that he realized that not everyone was concerned about the famous Washington Conference. In other words, Germany had long been no longer concerned about the positions of countries such as Britain, France, the United States, Japan or Italy when it was not concerned about its own affairs. It was closed and lived on its own.

Of course, even so, Germany's small life was uncomfortable. Because of its lack of security, Germany was like a powder keg, almost ignited. Ordinary people were at a loss, but they were obviously dissatisfied with the lack of supplies and difficulties in life. The democratic political system that had just been brewing in the political arena soon split, attacking each other, and even using extreme assassination methods.

The politician has torn off the last bit of disguise on his face, exposing the darkest side of human nature to the sun.

This is not important. What is important is that the police cannot control it. Germany has more than five million retired soldiers. They all retreated directly from the battlefields on the Eastern and Western fronts. These people have no worse understanding of weapons than police. Moreover, the situation of privately hiding weapons is very serious. The National Defense Forces are limited to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, and heavy weapons are not allowed, and even the number of machine guns is stipulated in double digits.

In this way, the 100,000 National Wehrmachts are not necessarily a little better than the police.

In Germany during the riots, the newly born Weimar regime was like sitting at a crater, repeatedly compromising to the outside world. The inaction and hesitation of the government made the people lose confidence in the government. Adolf had to consider Wang Xueqian's recommendation. After the political benefits he brought to him, the situation he had to face. Should he gain more support in the Weimar government, or be independent and continue his original political propositions. He did not compromise outside and integrate internally.

Of course, his skills were used long ago during the Bismarck era, and it was not unusual.

Adolf was also full of vigilance and doubt about Wang Xueqian's origin in Germany. This did not hinder his appreciation for Wang Xueqian, but was instinct.

As a political expert, Adolf developed a strong interest in politics when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and for a long time he made up for this content. Unfortunately, he had great ambitions but never had the chance.

During the monarchy period, aristocrats were the stepping stones to enter the military and political circles.

Of course, the same is true for a well-known family.

But for Adolf, this was almost a digging of the tomb of the Hitler family. Even if he digs out all the ancestors of the seventeen or eighteen generations, he might not find a noble noble. The saddest thing is that when he had lofty ideals, he could only make a living by selling paintings on the streets of Vienna. If it weren't for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he would not be willing to work hard in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so he came to Germany.

But everything was not as smooth as he thought. The war broke out as scheduled. In the position of ground rats, Germany and France, they hid in tunnels more than ten meters deep, waiting for the artillery to cease fire, and then went out to the trenches to block the opponent's infantry...

After wasting thirty years, he realized that the distance between ideals was getting farther and farther for him.

After joining politics, Adolf did not get a chance to soar.

On the contrary, Germany was trapped in an alternating struggle between monarchy and republic. Germany during this period was not as calm and safe as Wang Xueqian said. Assassination and attacks were everywhere. This method was even used in the struggle between political parties for a time.

Assassination of royal members and senior officials of the Republican government is used to attract more attention from emerging political parties and thus enter the political stage.

This is how many people do it.

But Adolf and his Workers' Party did not dare to do this. On the one hand, the Workers' Party lacked members to become "dead soldiers". In addition, once the government and the royal family retaliate, any emerging political party will become "disrupting parties" and become one of the many exiles.

More than two years of hard work are not long for Adolf, but his ability to capture politics is no longer like Germany was at a loss when he was defeated. Speech, propaganda, and fundraising are not something that a political party must do, but it is a growth period that cannot be avoided by political forces from scratch.

But Adolf was lucky enough to experience all this and witnessed a small party that could not be smaller, rising in his hands.

Adolf: "If what I say after this offends you, please don't be disgusted."

It is rare that Adolf is so polite that even Wang Xueqian, who has a psychological advantage, is a little unnatural, nodding and said, "This is a conversation between friends, don't have too many concerns."

"In theory, Germany has lost its diplomatic rights at the moment, and no country will give Germany a slight respect. This is also the aspect that I am puzzled. You seem to have come to an uneasy country at an inappropriate period and are destined to gain nothing." Adolf's words were quite tactful, at least he did not say that the French and Belgian troops played the role of a "demolition team" in the Ruhr Industrial Zone.

All important industrial facilities in the Ruhr industrial area were relocated to France or Belgium.

Not only that, the armies of the two countries are gathering in large numbers on the border and may then enter Germany again.

Sovereignty cannot be defended, so what diplomatic strategies are there to talk about. Everything is useless, in front of the army. In the face of power, even if it is reasonable, it will become unreasonable.

Wang Xueqian thought for a while and replied: "Have I ever said that I would express my opinion in Washington?"

"No, sir."

"Then I will start from that time. Resistance is sometimes futile, because the gap in strength is too large, which will make your opponent ignore your existence. But at the same time, resistance is also necessary. You cannot be afraid of failure again and accept unequal treaties after unequal treaties. But this is conditional. When there are no external allies, isolated resistance is very difficult and even desperate. But if there are allies, and the allies can share more risks for you, they will also gain certain benefits for him. Then it is a natural allies, which is a combination of mutual respect."

"In a simple saying, the enemy is a friend. It is not surprising that special methods are adopted in special times. Of course, this situation needs to be under control."

"It's like Germany and the Republic of China?"

Adolf seemed to have illuminated his heart, and he was actually looking for allies to deal with the inaction of Weimar regime, the center-rightists in the political arena, the royalists, and so on.

For this reason, he went to Berlin in July and August, but it disappointed him. He did not contact the left-wing political parties. Not only that, his rear almost caught fire. With the increase of personnel within the Workers' Party, factions began to appear, and the loose organizational structure was revealed.

Moreover, although there are officers like Rom in the Workers' Party, they have insufficient influence and cannot arouse the interest of big shots.

In fact, Adolf's real rise was after absorbing Gorene. Bavarian socialites began to pay attention to this retired soldier from Vienna and a speaker on the streets of Munich. Gorene's identity was not just because he was a German air force hero, ace pilot, but also his family. His father was the governor of Namibia and his mother came from a wealthy family. He received traditional aristocratic education since childhood.

When he was a teenager, he entered the military academy, which is also the educational method that most European aristocratic men would choose. Whether it was entering the army or going to college to study after graduating from the military academy, it was a shortcut for aristocratic men to enter politics.

For example, in Britain, it was almost a conventional matter for aristocrats to enter military academies.

But at this time, Goring was still studying at the University of Munich and also served as an officer of the National Defense Forces. He had no chance to hear Adolf's speech and join the Workers' Party. Adolf, who was in a vulnerable position, wanted to be well-known in Bavaria, but he still lacked an opportunity to pass on his name to all of Germany.

Adolf recalled the unsuccessful Berlin experience and said disappointedly: "It's a pity that I did not find a left-wing organization in Berlin. The current situation for the Workers' Party lacks an external ally and has a broader stage."

“Didn’t the development in Bavaria be considered?”

"It's very difficult. In the Bavarian government, the debate over the republic and royal family has never stopped. After Ludwig III's death, the crown prince was unable to inherit the throne and could only rule the resources of the royal family in the name of the prince. However, the royal family's rule over Bavaria has not ended. If the current situation needs to be changed, it has to launch a coup, allowing the royal family to completely give up their rights and completely retreat behind the scenes. But this is not easy." Adolf's slightly helpless tone was obvious that the royal family had become a thorn in his side.

If he hadn't had the strength, he might have rushed into the palace tomorrow, let the crown prince sign abdication edict, and then reformed the Kingdom Parliament.

Wang Xueqian couldn't help but face Adolf. This guy had already begun to plan such a big conspiracy when he was so weak.

It seems that later, people like Hindenburg and Rom, were not unfair to fall on his way forward.

Of course, launching a coup in Europe was not a death sentence, unlike during the Qing Dynasty.

This is a serious crime of treason that requires a family to be executed, and it is an unforgivable serious crime. For Adolf, the cost of launching a coup is not high, but the benefits are amazing. This is also the reason why he began to plan these actions in his mind.

At worst, you can go to jail.

"This requires strength!" Wang Xueqian reminded.

Adolf nodded: "That's right."

"Why don't you try to give a speech at the University of Munich? The university is a place where social elites are cultivated and temporarily stayed. Once they are paid attention or even recognized, their social reputation will immediately make a qualitative leap. As long as talents with social influence join, the Workers' Party will immediately become a household name political group in Bavaria." Wang Xueqian suggested.

Adolf had no choice but to smile bitterly. When he gave a speech at the University of Munich, he would be thrown out by the police like he was catching a chicken.

"Are you worried about being rejected?" Wang Xueqian bewitched: "Although this trade negotiation cannot help you too much politically, it will soon allow you to appear in some important occasions and banquets. After the negotiation is over, you don't have to worry about your identity."

Adolf's eyes lit up, as if this was a good choice.

Of course, this depends on what impact Wang Xueqian will have on the Bavaria region. At present, Germany has very few factories that can be started. The Bavaria region lacks resource minerals like Ruhr, and is close to Czechoslovakia and Austria, and is also close to Poland. Instead, it is far away from the destruction of France and Belgium.

The factory was not too serious because most factories could not start work because workers did not accept marks as settlement currency for their salaries. Because marks had become a piece of paper and could hardly buy anything in the market.

In addition, most of the factories that were shut down were mainly due to lack of start-up capital.

Wang Xueqian, as an investigator of bank capital, was immediately known to the outside world and immediately became the target of factory owners and consortiums to win over. The car had almost disappeared in Germany because there was no foreign exchange imported oil. However, when the royal family used the luxuriously decorated carriage as a reception tool, all modern civilizations were immediately overshadowed.

The beautiful decoration, cumbersome patterns, and a more comfortable riding environment than a car made Wang Xueqian tilt his head on the way to the Bavarian Palace and thought: "Does he also get himself a carriage after returning to Zhejiang?"

Wang Xueqian's identity has also transformed from a politician to become the most popular foreign businessman in Germany at present. (To be continued)
