The Rise of the Third Reich

"Arise, slaves who are hungry and cold! Arise, suffering people all over the world! The blood in your heart is already boiling. We must fight for the truth..."

High-pitched and passionate singing spread into the U.S. Capitol. This was the singing of the American working class gathered in front of the Capitol in Washington. They were all striking workers brought by the American Labor Party from various industrial cities in the northeastern United States.

The nationwide workers' strike that began in July 1945 lasted until September. Not only did it never end, it also entered a crisis as the U.S. Congress began to discuss the "European Communities-U.S. Peace Treaty" and the "Proposal to Repeal the National Labor Relations Act." climax.

However, what the working class opposes is not the "European Community-United States Peace Treaty". Now most Americans know that Germany has a very terrible super bomb, which directly destroyed the United States with two bombs in the Bay of Fundy. An aircraft carrier! Therefore, no one wants to continue the fight, so the controversy over Congress passing the "European Community-United States Peace Treaty" is not particularly controversial - of course there are many people who are unwilling to do so, but they will not go to Capitol Hill to cause trouble.

What is truly intolerable to the American working class is the repeal of the National Labor Relations Act. Because this law guarantees the right of the American working class to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining with capitalists. It is precisely because of the introduction of this bill that American workers have legal means to fight against capitalists. Similarly, this law that protects labor rights has become a thorn in the side of American capitalists and business managers, and actions to repeal or amend this law have never stopped.

Among all the New Deal legislation, the National Labor Relations Act has become the first law of the American Republican Party that represents the interests of the middle and upper classes (the American Republican Party has become an agent of the capitalists after Theodore Roosevelt led the progressive faction to leave). A bill that wants to be repealed. At the same time, it is also a bill that the Labor Party, which has taken over the banner of "progress", and the American Fascist Party, which pretends to be the spokesperson of the middle and lower classes, want to "defend to death."

However, the current base of the National Fascist Party is still the racists in the southern agricultural areas (the American South was full of racists in the 1940s), and its mobilization ability among the working class in the northeastern United States is insufficient. Therefore, they were unable to organize a large demonstration, and could only talk loudly in the chamber of Congress. In addition, the National Fascist Party's newspaper "America First" published an article criticizing Jewish capitalists.

And "America First" was the name of the newspaper, and it was also an isolationist slogan. The American Fascist Party chose "America First" as its slogan and the name of its organs and publications in order to highlight its isolationist qualities.

In the United States today, isolationism has become politically correct. The American people, who knew that they had to pay 800 billion European marks, now regretted it to death and wished they had not participated in this damn war. Therefore, such notorious "pro-German elements" and "stubborn isolationists" as Lindbergh have now become representatives of wisdom and foresight - if he had listened to him earlier, the United States would have become friends with Germany, and a world war would not have happened at all. If the situation is like this, the United States will not lose money.

As for the "Progressive Forces of the New Deal" led by Wallace, they performed brilliantly in the struggle to defend the National Labor Relations Act and demonstrated strong mobilization capabilities. But at the same time, they are also regarded as the main culprits of the defeat of the United States, so their support rate in the polls organized by Gallup Poll is not very high, ranking fourth after the American Democratic Party and the American National Fascist Party. Even many American workers who went on strike with the Labor Party indicated in polls that they would not support the Labor Party in the 1946 midterm elections.

So listening to the increasingly high-pitched "Internationale", Wallace (who was not a member of Congress himself), who was listening in the chamber of the House of Representatives, didn't look good at all. Truman's decisive resignation and the inaction of Congress and the FBI in the investigation of "Tondegate". Wallace wanted to use "Tondegate" to delay the congressional vote on the "European Community-American Peace Treaty" and the "Abolition of National Labor Relations" The wishful thinking of the "Law Proposal" has come to nothing.

Now is the peak of the labor movement, and the support rate of the Labor Party is not high. When the mid-term elections are held in the second half of next year, I really don’t know how many seats the Labor Party can win!

Just when Wallace was worried about the Labor Party's somewhat sluggish polls, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Joseph William Martin Jr., announced the start of a vote on whether to ratify the European Community-United States Peace Treaty. The voting had not yet begun, but Wallace already knew the results.

Most members of the Republican and Democratic parties who currently control Congress will vote in favor - most of the Democratic members who vote in favor are from the Southern Railway District. Those members can be elected as long as they adhere to the racist line of anti-black people! So I am not afraid of being called a traitor.

Although Republican congressmen will lose points in voting for the "European Community-US Peace Treaty", as long as they can repeal a few New Deal legislation, they will have completed the task assigned by the boss behind the scenes. Moreover, the voters who support them will not support quasi-Bolsheviks like the Labor Party, let alone vote for the "blackened" Democratic Party or the fascist party, so they are emboldened.

After the "European Community-United States Peace Treaty" was passed, it was time to vote on the "Proposal to Abolish the National Labor Relations Act"!

When he thought that the achievements of the progressive political forces in the United States that had been fought for many years were about to be abolished by the lackeys of the capitalists (Republicans) and the racist fascists (Democrats), but the American people had not really woke up, Wallace felt a pang. heartache...

It seems that the American Labor Party must fight with all its strength in the future to prevent the United States from becoming another fascist Germany!

But unless the United States becomes another fascist Germany, how can it get rid of the humiliation and chains that this failed world war has brought to the United States?

…

"The U.S. Congress has passed the European Community-U.S. Peace Treaty! We will soon get gold and silver! We can finally get our wealth back!"

Adolf Hitler's ecstatic voice came from the other end of the phone line: "Ludwig, ask your people to make a plan quickly to transport the gold and silver back without fail. Not only the gold belonging to the European Community, The silver, as well as more than 2,000 tons belonging to the French... must be shipped back quickly to avoid another accident. "

Of the 800 billion Euromark in reparations, 75 billion was paid in the name of gold and silver, drawn directly from the Federal Reserve's vaults. In addition, there are more than 2,200 tons that the French transferred to the United States before the fall of the mainland. This gold is also stored in the Federal Reserve's vault and will be shipped back together this time.

According to the agreement reached between Hitler and Darlan, gold, silver and more than 2,200 tons of French gold worth 75 billion European marks will be stored in the European Union Bank vault in Fort Europa (theoretical capital of Europe).

At the same time, the European Union Bank will issue 400 billion euros of base currency at a time based on these gold and silver (these gold and silver are worth about 90 billion euros). Among them, 80 billion Euromarks belong to the French government and 320 billion Euromarks belong to the German government. This huge amount of money will be used to repay part of the huge national debt issued by France and Germany during the war (about 80% can be repaid). After paying off most of the war treasury debts, the German and French government debt ratios will drop significantly, and there will be the possibility of issuing large amounts of treasury bonds again to raise funds.

The 75 billion Euromarks in gold and silver are only the "first installment" of the US reparations, and more than 700 billion Euromarks worth of materials will be paid to the European Community one after another.

These supplies will be distributed by the European Community, some will be given directly to countries in need, and some will be sold on the market for cash. The specific distribution plan must be discussed again by the European Commission (because the original plan was only 500 billion, and now the United States has compensated an extra 300 billion) - it is a discussion in name, but Germany is undoubtedly the party that has the final say!

"With these 800 billion, the United States of Europe will definitely be established!" Adolf Hitler gushed to Hessmann on the other side of the phone line. "Whoever opposes it can't even think of getting a penny from us. Not even a penny!"

"Ludwig, you have to go to the Russian Empire as soon as possible," Hitler said again. "You must convince the Russian Empress to support our United States... Her attitude now is very critical, the most critical!"

France and Russia have long expressed their support for the establishment of the United States of Europe, but at that time the United States of Europe was still an idea, and now it is about to become a reality. So Hitler wanted to ensure that Russia would not change his mind before convening the European Community Conference.

The reason why he had such worries was because Hitler was preparing to put forward an additional condition when Russia joined the United States of Europe - restricting Russians from entering other parts of the United States of Europe within 20 years.

He did this because Russia is currently too poor, with per capita income only about 15% of that of Germany and France. Hitler feared that the Russians would "take over" Western Europe once the movement of people was liberalized.

"There is no problem at all," Hersmann replied to Hitler. "Mr. Chancellor, in fact, restricting Russians from entering Central and Western Europe within 20 years will be beneficial to Russia's development. The Russian Empress will understand this... the development of the country We need to gather the population. If too many Russians leave their homes and go to Western Europe, Russia will not be able to develop.”

In Hersman's view, preventing Russians from leaving in large numbers to Western and Central Europe is good for Russia, but not necessarily good for Germany. The Russians are also a blond Aryan race and believe in God. They are very close to the Germans in terms of blood and religion, so it is easy for them to integrate with the Germans. According to the plan, after the establishment of the United States of Europe, the Aryan race will become the national attribute of most citizens of the United States.

The concentration of large numbers of people in large cities in Western and Central Europe will promote the economic integration and development of the United States of Europe. Western and Central Europe, which can attract large numbers of people, will have a large number of prosperous and wealthy cities. At the same time, Eastern Europe (including the European part of Russia), which has lost a large number of people, will become a prosperous agricultural area and mineral supply area - as long as it does not deliberately exploit or allow agricultural areas and mining areas to carry too many people, in the market Agricultural and mining areas developed under the leadership are not usually equated with poverty.

Of course, from an economic point of view, areas with agriculture and mining as the main economic pillars will usually become peripheral to financial centers and industrial centers (to put it bluntly, they are vassals). Once this subordinate relationship between periphery and center is formed, there will be a unified cohesion from an economic point of view.

However, there is nothing wrong with Hitler setting up a buffer period for Russia's integration into Europe. Russia does need a period of development and construction. Moreover, Petrograd in Russia does have the conditions to develop into an economic center in eastern Europe.

Thinking of this, Hersmann said to Hitler: "Adolf, I will go to Petrograd next week and I will definitely be able to persuade the Queen to support us at the European Community Congress."

"Okay, okay, that's it. I have to make a phone call to tell His Majesty the Emperor the good news!" Adolf Hitler hung up the phone after saying this.

Hersman also put the phone receiver back, then turned to Chloe who had just taken a shower and walked into the bedroom in a bathrobe and said with a smile: "Dear, the American Congress has ratified the treaty, and the war is over." it's over!"

"Oh, thank God, the war is finally over!" Chloe also showed a happy expression.

Although she did not hate the war, the war did last for too long. For a German aristocratic woman like Chloe who had been brainwashed by militarism since she was a child, the war did not start in 1939, but in 1914. The year continues until now! During the interwar period, for these German militarists, it was just a 20-year truce.

"I don't think there will be another World War III, right?" Chloe sat down next to Hersman, who was half leaning on the bed, and asked her husband in a worried tone, "Some people say that the United States now is... It will be similar to our country in 1919, maybe 20 years later..."

Hersman spread his arms, held his wife in his arms, and whispered: "No, there will be no more World War III. Even if the United States becomes another Third Reich, there will be no world war." war. Because now is the age of atomic bombs, and the world in 20 years will not be able to bear a devastating atomic war. "

He paused for a while, and then said with certainty: "So, we and our descendants will not encounter another world war. At most, there will be a long-term cold war...perhaps dozens of confrontations." Years, but it will be us who win in the end!”
