Chapter 66 How to Control the Army

"Right now, our biggest problem is the army." After coming out of the presidential palace and meeting in a small circle, Cyric looked at the old acquaintances in front of him and continued to analyze.

Although Hitler has a great desire for power, he is not arbitrary now. He values ​​Cyric's opinion very much, because until now, Cyric's judgment has never been missed!

The last time Cyric voluntarily gave up the position of prime minister, Hitler was also very moved. He valued Cyric very highly, and even in Hitler's eyes, he had already regarded Cyric as his successor.

If something happens to him, Cyric is the most suitable to come out and lead Germany!

"Now, our influence in the Wehrmacht is constantly expanding, but we are still far away from completely controlling the Wehrmacht." Hitler followed up: "Cyric, what can you do?"

"We know that the Minister of Defense is the head of the military, and the current Minister of Defense, Glerner, is our mortal enemy. Therefore, when you take office and become the President, a new person must be the Minister of Defense." Cyric said.

As the president, he has the right to appoint the Minister of Defense. This is a common practice. Therefore, it is quite normal for Hitler to replace Glerner.

"So, who should we replace?" Hitler said.

"Party leader, I have a good idea." At this moment, the impatient Roma came out to speak: "Now, our stormtroopers have expanded to 500,000 people, so we can simply combine our stormtroopers with The Defence Forces are merged so that we can firmly control the army."

Now, the problem facing Hitler is how to control the army! And Rom proposed a simple solution.

It's not good to say? Now, there are 500,000 stormtroopers and 100,000 defensemen! Once the two sides merge, of course they have to listen to the stormtroopers, and Rom, who does his part, is the new Minister of Defense!

Rom's voice was quite loud, and the scar on his left face was shaking.

In Rom's eyes, when Hitler came to power, the position of the Minister of Defense, needless to say? Of course it's his!

Hearing Roma's words, Hitler did not speak immediately, while Cyric, who was beside him, was firmly opposed.

"No, the stormtroopers are the leader's political propaganda tool, not the army, Rom, you underestimate the power of the Prussian officer corps. They are the real backbone of the German army."

Although Cyric was once a member of the stormtroopers, the current Cyric has completely separated from the stormtroopers, and Cyric has belonged to the army.

The stormtroopers are just a bunch of hooligans and thugs!

They looked majestic in their brown uniforms and military boots.

When other party organizations hold rallies, the stormtroopers are responsible for sabotage, storming the venue, smashing tables and chairs, intimidating and threatening the participants.

And when the Workers' Party rallies, they are responsible for the security of the venue.

At the beginning, Hitler was quite supportive of the SA. In the face of accusations, Hitler once said: "The SA is not a moral school for educating the sons and daughters of high society, but an organization of rough fighters."

However, as Hitler continued to seize power, Hitler and Roma clashed over the nature of the stormtroopers.

Rohm wanted the SA to be a real army, and Hitler wanted the SA to be just his propaganda tool.

This is also the reason why Roma left in the first place, and now, although Roma has returned, he is still very ambitious. Especially now, as the Workers' Party is about to rule Germany, Roma is also coveting the position of Minister of Defense!

Even if there is no future factor, can the stormtroopers become regular troops now? Of course not!

The backbone of the German army is the Prussian officer corps!

The Junker nobles are a group in Prussia. Because the title land is all inherited by the eldest son, the remaining descendants of the nobles can only find their own way. For them, the best way is to join the army and get a knighthood by virtue of military merit.

In this way, in order to obtain rewards, fight bravely, and actively exercise military skills, the Junkers who joined the army always followed the example of the ancient Teutonic knights, and their noble background gave them a good education in culture and art. Unique to this group of the Prussian officer corps.

This kind of infiltration is subtle, and has been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years. How can it be replaced by a group of stormtroopers?

"Cyric, I can't accept your statement." Rom had already started arguing with Cyric: "Did you say that because you want to be the Minister of Defense? You are not a member of the Prussian officer corps either. , is only valued by that old Hindenburg guy."

"Of course not." Cyric said: "The leader of the party, the new Minister of Defense, must be found in the officer corps. I recommend General Werner Eduard Fritz von Blomburg to take over. Marshal Hindenburg will be satisfied with this appointment."

Cyric's words made Hitler nod: "Yes, only by appointing this person can Marshal Hindenburg be satisfied."

Although there is no doubt that his own side will come to power in this election, but Hindenburg, who has been retiring many times, is still the most influential person in Germany. Without the support of Hindenburg, Hitler would never be able to effectively hold power !

Therefore, Hindenburg cannot be made to be too suspicious. If Roma takes office, there is no doubt that the stormtroopers will sweep the country. This situation is definitely not what Hindenburg wants to see!

Only by letting someone who does not belong to the Workers' Party become the Minister of Defense can we balance the top ranks of Germany and prevent the Workers' Party from becoming a big party!

"I really didn't think of it, why are you afraid of that old guy in Hindenburg?" Rom heard that even Hitler agreed with Cyric's proposal, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"When we truly grasp the power of Germany, we will definitely be against this The country will undergo a thorough reform, those capitalists and aristocrats will be overthrown, and Germany will become a real country dominated by the lower classes!"

"Now, it's the best opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we will wait again!" Rom was so angry that he almost slapped the table.

What are you afraid of, now, there are 500,000 stormtroopers, and many local government police agencies are all stormtroopers! Roma is quite confident that there will be a real revolution in Germany!

You idiot! It is not the people at the bottom who really decide the fate of Germany! Cyric thought to himself.
