The Rise of the Third Reich

When General Kumetz mentioned Mussolini's trip to the United States in a joking tone, the 51,000-ton luxury cruise ship "King" aboard the Caesar of the New Roman Empire had just sailed into the Hudson River. New York Harbor at the mouth of the river. Instead of wearing a handsome military uniform, he put on a very elegant gray suit with double buttons and white stripes, and his head was bare without a hat.

When the cruise ship approached the pier, he leaned against the railing of the cruise ship, grinning widely, and waved to greet the welcoming people on the pier.

The leader of the Roman Empire suddenly saw a group of people wearing familiar brown military uniforms standing in a neat queue at the corner of the pier, holding flags that were obviously imitations of the eagle flag of the National Fascist Party. Although their numbers are small, they are very noticeable.

"Who are they?" Mussolini asked the Marquis Ciano next to him, pointing to the people in brown clothes.

"They were members of the National Fascist Party of America."

"He's a fascist comrade, no wonder he looks so familiar." Mussolini laughed happily, "By the way, didn't the U.S. government ban the activities of the fascist party?"

“Those organizations that were once banned,” Marquis Ciano said, “including the American Nazi Party, the American Nationalist Party, the Fascist Society, the Black Club, and the Silver Club all disappeared for a time after the United States entered the war. But in the United States and us After the reconciliation of the Roman Empire, the activities of the Fascist Party in the United States became legal. Therefore, various political forces pursuing the fascist line and the National Socialist line were all integrated under the glorious banner of fascism and the National Fascist Party of the United States was established. The leader is Charles Augustus Lindbergh.”

"Lindbergh...is that Lindbergh who flew the plane and received the German Medal of Honor awarded by Hersmann?"

"Yes, that's him."

Mussolini knew the man, who became famous in 1927 when he flew the single-engine Spirit of St. Louis from New York City to Paris without landing, a total of 33.5 hours.

After becoming famous, Lindbergh became close to the Nazis in his political philosophy, advocated America first, opposed the United States' involvement in European disputes, and criticized Jews for manipulating American politics. Therefore, he was smeared as a "disloyal element". However, he changed his position after the Pearl Harbor incident and assisted the U.S. Army Air Corps in combat operations as a civilian consultant - he was originally an officer in the Army Air Corps, but was fired for being pro-German!

However, after the British mainland surrendered and the Americas were invaded by the European Community, many Americans finally remembered Lindbergh and his America First Committee. So Lindbergh's reputation began to rise, and he became the target of several American fascist organizations trying to revive him.

After the Roman Empire and the United States signed the armistice agreement, the fascist organizations in the United States experienced a small upsurge of recovery - the Nazi Party's sign was still not allowed to be displayed, but the American National Fascist Party became a legal political party and is still in operation. To participate in congressional and presidential elections.

And Lindbergh is now the presidential candidate of the American National Fascist Party.

"Lindbergh also participated in this presidential election and was a fascist candidate." Count Ciano said, "His foreign policy is to reconcile with Europe and concentrate on attacking Japan."

"Will he support compensation?" Mussolini asked.

"It's hard to say," Ciano said with a shrug, "but it doesn't matter, because the American Fascist Party cannot be elected."

"That is the loss of the American people." Mussolini said with some regret. "If American fascists or American Nazis could come to power, the war between the United States and Europe would really be over."

Mussolini was very familiar with the line of the fascist movement in the United States. The fascist movement in Germany focused on racism and agreed with the Nazi Party's theory of Aryan national superiority. Its main supporters were also blond and blue-eyed Americans of Germanic descent. —In the eyes of Comrade Mussolini, they are all a group of Germanic barbarians!

If the American fascists who pursue the Nazi racist line come to power, it can be seen as the Germanic nation defeating the Jewish financial plutocrats and seizing the American power...Then the struggle between the United States and the European Community is the internal contradiction of the Germanic nation, and it is nothing more than who Whoever is the boss will be the second child.

For two regimes that both pursue racism and believe in the supremacy of the Aryan race, it is only natural that the two sides reconcile after their differences. There is no need and should not be necessary to exterminate each other...

…

"Welcome, Your Majesty Caesar."

U.S. Vice President Henry Agard Wallace actually hated Nazis and fascists, and even more hated seeing Mussolini looking triumphant. But now that he was President Roosevelt's representative, he could only hold his nose and greet the fascist leader from afar at the pier of New York Harbor.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Vice President." Mussolini said to Wallace in gentle and fluent English, and then hugged him warmly.

"Hail, leader!"

Uniform shouts suddenly sounded out, it was the American fascists cheering, and at the same time they raised their hands to salute Mussolini from a distance.

Mussolini turned around and raised his hand towards the American fascists in brown clothes: "Salute to the American fascist comrades!"

"Hi! Mussolini! Hi! Mussolini..."

"Executioner! Murderer! War monger..."

"Get out of America! Get out!"

While the American fascists cheered, the sound of protests also came over - now the fascist leader Mussolini is visiting the United States! The image of such a dictator who participated in launching a world war is similar to that of a devil in the minds of most American people.

So when Mussolini arrived in New York, various anti-fascist groups in the United States organized demonstrations and protests, and the demonstration location was near the New York Harbor where Mussolini arrived.

"Your Excellency, Caesar, this is how we are here. Some people will protest about everything..." Vice President Wallace explained to Mussolini in an apologetic tone.

However, the dictator of Rome was calm. While waving to his supporters, he smiled and said to Wallace: "Mr. Vice President, I know that many Americans hate me now, but this time I really want to save them." And I am a true friend of the United States. If there is one country in the world that the United States is a true friend of, it is undoubtedly the Roman Empire. I think you should be very clear about this, right?”

Wallace smiled bitterly: "Yes, Your Excellency Caesar, of course I know that our two countries have common interests... Common interests are the basis for two countries to become friends."

"That's right!" Mussolini held Wallace's hand and walked together to the big car prepared by the Americans. He said at the same time: "We have common interests now, which is to maintain a multi-polarity... Oh, Do you understand what I mean? Multipolar means that there should be several power centers in the world. Berlin is one, Rome is one, Washington is one, and of course Tokyo. There should be four power centers in the world instead of one. Maintain lasting peace and vitality.”

"We think so too," Wallace replied. Although he is very reluctant to let Tokyo become one of the four poles, he still knows very well that Tokyo is actually a force that restricts Berlin...if those Japanese devils don't plan to speak German!

Mussolini and Wallace got into a black Cadillac bulletproof car amidst the cheers and protests of the people. When the car started, their conversation continued.

"Mr. Vice President, I think you should know that now is the time when the German Empire is at its strongest. The whole of Europe is crawling at the feet of Germany. Germany has the most advanced aircraft, the most powerful tanks, and the most dangerous atomic weapons... ...Of course, the Germans also have the most poisonous gas in the world, which is 10 times more powerful than mustard gas! But compared with their atomic weapons, this is nothing.

Oh, by the way, the Germans also have jets and rockets, as well as TV-guided missiles developed based on these two weapons. It’s really, really, really awesome! "

The expression on Mussolini's face when he spoke was so exaggerated that it reminded Vice President Wallace of a third-rate Hollywood actor.

But he still believed what Mussolini said - Germany is really, really, really powerful! It is not an opponent of the same level as Japan at all, not only because the Germans possess many advanced weapons that are unique in the world, but also because Germany has soldiers who can maximize the power of these weapons.

Compared with the German army, which has experienced hundreds of battles and has almost never failed, the US military seems too immature. If the U.S. military was as capable as the Germans, the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands would not have turned into a costly and terrible battle like it did now.

Mussolini's words really continued, he said: "However, everyone knows that the challenges faced by a powerful Germany are also unprecedented, because Germany also dreams of building a unified Europe centered on itself. Trying to unite Britain Old empires with splendid history and strong culture such as France, Russia, etc. were all integrated to form an unprecedentedly powerful thousand-year empire.

And such ambition has exceeded that of the former Emperor Napoleon! Not to mention whether it can succeed, the various difficulties it faces will seriously trouble Germany and the so-called United States of Europe for a long historical period in the future. "

Roman Caesar paused and looked at Wallace: "Mr. Vice President, the United States should not act as an enemy to block the Millennium Empire when Germany is at its strongest. This is extremely irrational. The United States should be trapped in Europe when Germany is the internal affairs of the United States before coming out to challenge its authority in the rest of the world.”
