The Third Reich in Desperation

Now Gustav doesn't bother to wipe the dust anymore than tomorrow, because the whole porcelain has been broken into slag.

It is conceivable how turbulent Gustav's heart is now.The treasure that has been cherished for a long time, the time of a meal is completely ruined, and it is impossible for anyone to keep calm.

However, Gustav did not attack for a long time.He just stood aside quietly, allowing Zhang Chengtian to perform.

Everyone admired Gustav's calmness, and was even more surprised by Zhang Chengtian's calmness.Almost everyone can conclude that Zhang Chengtian did something bad, but this person is the only one who refuses to admit it.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Zhang Chengtian smiled awkwardly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do here. Or? I'll get out first."

shameless!This is the unanimous evaluation of Zhang Chengtian by everyone present.This family really dares to say that if there is nothing to do with him here, who else can it be related to.Oh, by the way, the victim Gustave counts as one.

"Let's put this aside for now. Major Reinhardt will come here and leave without doing anything, right?" Gustav is indeed a mature politician who is good at adjusting his mentality.After suffering both material and spiritual losses, Gustav was able to quickly adjust his mentality and get to the point.This intelligence alone is admirable.

"Oh, yes. I haven't done anything yet." Zhang Chengtian agreed shamelessly.

Shameless, so shameless.I have never seen a donkey go downhill like this, but I have never seen a donkey go downhill like this.This legendary major general, who is said to be a gift from heaven to Germany, has nothing to do with the traditional German virtues of integrity, justice, honesty, and truth-seeking.There may not be another person in Germany who can act so confidently.

Ignoring everyone's contemptuous gazes, Zhang Chengtian laughed loudly and said, "I almost forgot that my task is to congratulate Mr. Gustav."

Congratulations?Congratulations Gustav. Losing a treasured collection in the space of a meal? A group of Liberals rolled their eyes.

However, Zhang Chengtian seemed to be unaware that he reached out to shake Gustav's hand: "Mr. Gustav, I would like to congratulate you here. You will receive strong support from the Socialist Workers Party, and at the same time, you will receive the support provided by the Rhein Company." financial aid."

support?assistance?Gustav was surprised at the same time as a group of Liberals present.For running for prime minister, Gustav is almost [-]% sure of success.At this time, it received the propaganda support of the largest party in Germany, the Socialist Workers Party, and the emerging Rheinland Consortium aided propaganda funds.Gustav's prime ministership is almost a certainty.

"Why do you want to help me run for the election?" Gustav asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to do?"

"We help you for the future of Germany. As for giving, you don't have to give anything material. If you have to give something, I think it is your hard work and energy, and the sweat you shed for the rise of Germany. "Zhang Chengtian answered Gustav's doubts unhurriedly.

"No more requests?"

"Gone."

Gustav suddenly smiled and patted Zhang Chengtian on the shoulder and said, "If that's the case, I'm willing to fight for the prime minister of the Republic."

Zhang Chengtian also patted Gustav on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Mr. Gustav, I never said that I asked you to run for chancellor. In fact, we hope that you will run for the next president of the Weimar Republic. "

Every member present was stunned by Zhang Chengtian's words, running for the next president? !Can this work?

Looking at Gustav who suddenly became silent, Zhang Chengtian knew that the other party was considering his suggestion.

Without directly persuading him, Zhang Chengtian chose to chat about irrelevant topics: "Mr. Gustav, I have to remind you of the fact that your so-called collections are not as precious as you think. Just take the broken one. As far as the ceramic plate is concerned, it seems that the value is not low, but it is actually just a defective product with a beautiful appearance.”

The middle-aged man who advised Zhang Chengtian to get out of here just now has become a mess in his heart.

He didn't expect that this shameless young man was the hero Reinhardt who was hyped up in the newspapers.What's more, he didn't expect Zhang Chengtian to brazenly mention Gustav's old scars again just when Gustav had just forgotten the embarrassment that happened just now.What a shameless person to do this....

However, Gustav did not express any displeasure.On the contrary, it was surprisingly quiet, as if waiting for Zhang Chengtian to finish speaking.

Sure enough, Zhang Chengtian continued with a calm face, "Mr. Gustav must have heard about it too. I just led a team to steal Ludendorff's estate."

Several female members of the Liberal Party immediately felt uncomfortable. They spoke out about the ransacking of their homes in such a calm manner. The hero who had always shown a positive image in the newspapers before him seemed to have a ruthless side.

However, Zhang Chengtian adhered to the rule of no more than three seconds of indifference, and immediately put on a flattering expression: "I found a high-quality blue and white porcelain in Ludendorff's manor, and a famous oriental tea called Longjing. I I believe that these are the things Mr. Gustav should cherish."

In the end, it was already a blatant bribe.It is only now that everyone knows that Zhang Chengtian has the confidence to sabotage everywhere.This guy already had a more precious substitute than what he destroyed.

However, the middle-aged man in his forties just snorted coldly.It would be a little too naive to think of using these things to bribe Gustav, the leader of the Liberal Party.

Sure enough, Gustav shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, so don't send any gifts."

Just when the middle-aged man thought it was time to see off the guests, Gustav continued beyond his expectations: "However, I have now decided to run for the next presidential election. Please speak to the Laing Company and the Socialist Workers for me. Thank you for the support of the party.”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide in surprise, Gustav was actually persuaded! ?How did the other party do it? Could it be because of their shameless aura.

Text Chapter 51 Reasons

Gustav agreed to Zhang Chengtian's proposal, neither because of Zhang Chengtian's shameless spirit, nor because of Zhang Chengtian's bribery.

What prompted Gustav to make a decision were the three hints revealed by Zhang Chengtian inside and outside the words.

First of all, Zhang Chengtian belittled Gustav's collection as empty-handed, and proposed that there are more works of art worthy of collection.This implies that Gustav, the role of the German Chancellor at the moment is far less than that of the German President.To be elected chancellor of Germany is, in a way, to be elected a smudge.The German president is the more valuable target.

Secondly, Zhang Chengtian mentioned the example of Ludendorff's house ransacked.This pointed out that Ludendorff, who had nothing to show for himself, was obviously defeated by Zhang Chengtian's strong attack after being an enemy of Zhang Chengtian, who was sent by the former president, and did not even cause a ripple.So, what can the Prime Minister of the Republic, who is also empty-handed, do in the future when he disagrees with the President?Nothing works, the answer is obvious!

Finally, Zhang Chengtian implicitly hinted at an uncomfortable aspect.Ludendorff, who was against them, can be eliminated calmly, so Gustav is even more difficult now. (Of course, Gustav did not confirm whether Zhang Chengtian was implying himself on this point.)

In fact, Gustav guessed correctly the first two hints to Zhang Chengtian.But Gustav missed Zhang Chengtian's third hint at all.

Do you even have to guess! ?If you agree to run for president, the benefits you will get will definitely be indispensable.Better green tea, more valuable blue and white porcelain, this is not a hint! ?

Compared with the middle-aged man who kindly persuaded himself to get out of bed just now, Zhang Chengtian made a V wake-up gesture, and left arrogantly.

Zhang Chengtian, who left, knew very well that what made Gustav really make up his mind was neither his own analysis hint nor bribery to curry favor.The real reason is that Gustav is a politician!

As a politician, becoming president would be the best way for Gustav to realize his aspirations.Gustav never ignored the president's rights.It's just that, before that, Gustav lacked the capital to campaign.Now, with the support of the Socialist Workers Party, the largest party in the country, and the financial support of the Emerging Rhine Consortium, Gustav has the confidence and capital that he did not have before.

Running for prime minister is inherently a second-best option.Now that there is a chance to go to the next level, who would be so stupid as not to be interested.Gustav is a politician who dares to think.

Text Chapter 52 Differentiation

"You want me to help you intervene in the presidential election?!" Krupp was taken aback by Zhang Chengtian's conditions.

"Yes, to be precise, it is to provide campaign funds for the leader of the Liberal Party, Gustav. To divide the business community." Zhang Chengtian continued to explain.

In Zhang Chengtian's view, the Krupp family, who was married to him, was the most natural ally.

To compete with the domestic Jewish consortium, there must be another group of businessmen with enough voice.

The foundation of the Rhine Consortium is too shallow, and it is impossible to gather a group of merchants.The only ones that have this ability and may support themselves are the artillery family Krupp Group.

However, Krupp clearly had scruples about such risky behavior.

He was really eager to get the two blueprints in Zhang Chengtian's hand.As a weapons businessman, Krupp knew how valuable the two blueprints were.

But Krupp cares more about his own life and the future of the Krupp Group than the blueprints.

If he wins this presidential race, he will get huge benefits as a supporter.Krupp does not deny this.

However, if the candidate you support loses the election.Then what awaits him next is likely to be the attack and revenge of those in power.

Krupp weighs the pros and cons and prefers to be a neutral.In this way, no matter which side wins, the neutral Krupp Group will not be suppressed.

In addition, although it does not receive special care, the company can also survive with the technology and capabilities of the Krupp Group.

Krupp, who was determined to be neutral, tentatively said: "I can provide funds, but in name, this fund is used to buy technology from you. Of course, you can transfer it to Gustav's propaganda team .”

old fox!Zhang Chengtian immediately saw through Krupp's careful thinking.
