Hoffman looked at him for three minutes and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Hess, some comrades in the party don't want you to come back, or rather, don't want you to come back alive."

Goebbels next to him said nothing. This sentence was not Hoffmann intimidating Hess. After learning that Hess was about to return home, including Ribbentrop, Himmler, and Bowmann thought that Hess might have problems: not only had mental problems, but also had special missions such as accepting British orders to assassinate the head of state.

The rumor is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. As long as the head of state shows a little bit of suspicion, Himmler and Bauman may both pull Hesla out and "search" seriously. The consequences of the screening Hoffman thought about it with his heels and found out, and it must be another ** group.

"I know, thank the head of state for his tolerance." Although he was under house arrest for several years, Hess' physical and mental state was pretty good, and he could read newspapers in the past few years. Although it was all news published in Britain, he could find a lot of information between the lines: for example, when the Nazi power was crushed by Goring, it could only be the purge of the head of state; for example, Britain's victory was transferred every day, from North Africa to the local area; for example, Britain enjoyed the best strategic air transport in the world, which shows that Great Britain was blocked very much.

On the way back, he tried every means to inquire about the head of state from Goebbels, who warned him: the head of state has undergone many new adjustments in its policies and strategies. If he cannot adapt as soon as possible, he may...

But Hess said calmly: "I know that he adjusted the Jewish strategy, no longer rushing to kill but gentle; he adjusted the Eastern policy, which was not the living space of Germany, but the existence of Germany as the European liberator and protector..."

He said a lot about Hoffman's adjustment strategy, but one thing is that he would never inquire about Gorene.

"It seems that you are not crazy."

"This is not necessarily the case. The head of state said I was crazy, I was crazy; he said no, then I was not."

Goebbels nodded with relief.

Among the four giants of the National Social Security, Goebbels and Ribbentrop also had a good relationship with Hess. Sperer was neutral, and Bowman and Himmler were hostile to Hess. This is why Hoffman chose Goebbels to pick him up. Of course, there was also a complex relationship between Goebbels and Hess. When they were engaged in party affairs and theory, the two were competitors. Now, after Bowman took over the party affairs, the two had fewer conflicts.

"I understand the worries of my comrades, the Head of State..." Hess said calmly, "I hope to start with the work at the grassroots level. Given that I do not have enough understanding of the British, I think I cannot complete the negotiations with the UK."

Hoffman knocked on the table and was thinking about his use of Hess: On the night of May 12, 1941, Goebbels asked the German Radio to publicly broadcast the communiqué, saying that Hess "departed from the order and has not returned yet; the letters left by Hess unfortunately showed signs of insanity, which made people feel that party member Hess was probably a victim of paranoia, so Hess might have crashed somewhere." By this time, it was not revealed that Hess had flew to England to make peace.

The next day, the British government publicly claimed that Hess was in their hands, and Hitler had to say at a high-level meeting: "Hess left me when the commanders could be ordered to start the most difficult military operations (referring to Barbarossa). How could I expect the generals to obey this order when a senior political leader left the battlefield according to his own plan?"

But no matter how high-sounding he said, there is one factor that cannot be erased no matter what: Hess flew to Britain to make peace according to Hitler's own order to implicitly. The mood of the Head of State to make peace with the British Empire was urgent and even to the point of being useless. Once Hess exposed this matter, it would inevitably affect the image of the Head of State in the public. This was also the reason why Bauman persuaded Hoffman to kill Hess.

But after careful consideration, Hoffman believed that the inside story of Hess Feiying was known to several party leaders, and cleaning Hess would inevitably bring uneasiness to everyone; secondly, Hoffman now told many people to perform tasks secretly. If such tasks are executed, the final outcome will be killed, and who will be willing to work hard for him in the future; last and most important point, Hoffman now clearly shows that the carriage and horse are going to make peace with the British, regardless of whether the outside world discloses it, he thinks it is no longer important. Bauman's so-called "influence of image" is not worth worrying about.

Therefore, he cannot cleanse Hess in public or private matters. As for whether the other party thinks he is a "fake head of state", if he had just traveled through time, he might be very nervous. Now nearly two years have passed, and he no longer has this concern. He did much better than the head of state, and even Eva accepted him. Whoever dares to doubt him in Germany is really a "crazy"!

"Do you know the conditions for my peace with Britain?"

"I know, they also brought me a few counter-advices."

"What do you think of these issues?"

"This is just a trick Churchill, the old dog, tried to delay time." Hess gritted his teeth, "If he had the ability to defeat us on the battlefield, he would not be like this."

"Very good, how do we deal with it in your opinion?"

"I'm not alone in searching for further military deterrence to make Churchill's opposition chaotic."

Hoffman nodded: "The party's high-level meeting will be held tomorrow. You can go back and prepare and say a few words to everyone."

On May 15, on the third anniversary of the Hess Feiying incident, Hess met with everyone again and gave a special report at the high-level meeting of the Kuomintang Party:

First, Feiying was Hess himself considering immature actions, trying to show off and do big things, which violated the party's principles and deviated from the direction of the head of state;

Second, some secret actions carried out during the preparation process violated the Party’s discipline and national laws, smeared the head of state, had a negative impact on the Party’s reputation, and caused confusion in the people’s thoughts;

Third, if you fail to complete the task, you will be trapped in me. You cannot die, which will damage the image of a party member.

Hess also emphasized the following points:

First, no party secrets were explained during his time in the UK;

Second, he has not become a traitor or been bribed by British intelligence agencies;

Third, we did not accept any special mission that was not conducive to the Party or Germany.

Everyone was skeptical about his review, but everyone knew that they believed or not. The final right to deal with it was in the hands of the head of state, so they turned around and waited for Hoffman to express their opinions.

Hoffman did not express his personal opinion, but asked Bauman: "Comrade Bauman is the secretary-general of the Party. I asked him to talk about his opinions on Comrade Hess from the perspective of party discipline and national laws."

"In view of Comrade Hess's major policies and policies that disregarded the head of the Communist Party's major policies and policies a few years ago, and put his personal status and interests above the interests of the party and the country, I think he made serious personal blind activism, bureaucracy and opportunistic mistakes, and needs to be deeply reflected and inspected. Given that his behavior did not cause serious damage to the party, did not cause irreversible consequences, and he himself had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes and showed sincere remorse. In terms of handling, he can be treated lightly at the discretion." Bauman glanced at Hoffman, saw him nodding slightly and continued, "Considering that Comrade Hess had followed the head of the party in his early years and made useful contributions to the cause of the party, and in accordance with the principle of "punishing past mistakes and preventing future, curing illness and saving people", all comrades in the Party took it as a warning. The specific handling opinions and suggestions are as follows:

1. Order him to conduct serious, serious and profound reviews within the party;

2. Revoke all party positions, retain party membership, and stay on probation for two years;

3. All administrative positions, including the Deputy Head of State, will be removed from all administrative positions, and will serve as a researcher in the EU Policy Research Office (a non-leadership position at the deputy bureau level) and carry out work. It is affiliated with the Propaganda Department and will be led by Comrade Goebbels."

Of course this is not the opinion of Bauman himself. If he is, he would rather put it to death directly, but Goebbels conveyed the meaning of the head of state and dared not disobey.

The attendees immediately realized: this was the main intention of the head of state to lift up high and gently. Whether it was dismissal or probationary, as long as the head of state trusted it, there would still be a chance to turn around in the future, which means that the head of state was still restrained by it. Of course, the four giants or five giants could also breathe a sigh of relief, at least they did not have the scary title of "deputy head". Moreover, if they did this, even if they were valued, they would have "stained" in the future, and at least they would not be the "successor".

"I think it's OK. Comrade Bauman's disciplinary opinion shows justice and fairness. What do Comrade Hess himself thinks?"

Hess bowed to everyone with tears in his eyes and paid tribute: "I'm sorry comrades, I made a serious, self-righteous mistake, which has caused a great bad impact on the head of state and the party... (More than 2,000 words of review are omitted here). After years of reflection, especially the criticism and education of the head of state and Goebbels, I have deeply realized the mistake and humbly accepted everyone's criticism. In the future, I will work hard to correct it and contribute to the party and the country in my new position... (More than 3,000 words of statements are omitted here)"

In the subsequent voting process, the handling opinions were passed unanimously, which was a joke. This was the caliber determined by the head of state himself. Who dared to object? No matter how reluctant he is, he must hold his hands high.

Finally, Bowman spoke with Hess on behalf of the organization: I hope he put down his burden, go into battle lightly, and continue to use his strengths to make more useful contributions.

Only Goebbels knew that the EU Policy Research Office will integrate the series of ideas and speeches of the Head of State on the establishment of the EU in the future, and form a systematic and comprehensive political program document. This work is as important as the compilation of "My Struggle" back then. Hess was only temporarily frustrated, and sooner or later there will be a time to reuse it. Moreover, Hess stopped all his guilt and did not mention "the head of state's request, the head of state's hope, the head of state's order" and completely cleared the head of state from the "Feiying". Of course, don't think about successors or something, and I believe Hess will not rush up stupidly anymore. For Hess, it is not a good thing at least he is no longer the target of public criticism!

For Hoffman, now there is no deputy head of state and successor, and the 5-man team has become a 6-man team, and there is still a lot of internal competition. However, "there is no faction within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things." He just needs to control and keep the rudder well. Someone below will worry about him.
