"But..." Hitler lowered his voice, "Hermann, Goebbels is now Strasser's man."

"Captain, you are wrong, Goebbels is a comrade of the party, not anyone's man!"

Seeing that the other party was still talking nonsense to him seriously, Hitler rolled his eyes and became unhappy.

"I know he is Strasser's man, but it's not bad for me to say that." Goering analyzed proudly, "First, if you recommend Goebbels for this role, Strasser will definitely agree readily instead of making excuses. We can exchange personnel appointments in other regions; second, Goebbels and Gallais have a good impression of each other and have some relationship. I think he can smoothly carry out his work in Italy, which is beneficial to the party's cause; the last and most important point is that Gallais introduced Goebbels to the party. I think his influence is enough to attract the doctor to us. Don't you think this is a very interesting plan? You really don't want talents like the doctor?"

Hitler's face was solemn: Goering's words made sense. Although Goebbels is currently Strasser's confidant, he has real talents, strong theoretical foundation and excellent eloquence. If he is really brought here, it will be tantamount to strengthening his own strength and double-strike the opponent! If he is sent to work in Italy, it will be more advantageous to be by Gallais' side-in-what is the president not better than Strasser? Is it necessary to say who to go with?

He patted Goering on the shoulder and praised him: "Hermann, I found that you have matured a lot after your trip to Italy. You consider more details when doing things, have a stronger overall view, and have a broader vision."

"I have been studying very seriously with Gallet for more than three months! You must admit that Gallet is really capable. He is only 20 years old and has not even graduated from college, but he manages those company managers who are much older than him. Last time, he sued the Socialist Party and forced them to admit that they were unconstitutional and apologized in the newspaper, and even got the president of the Supreme Court to step down! Although it is necessary to start a revolution as early as possible, it is useless to be young and enthusiastic if you lack ability."

This sentence further said that Himmler was too young and unreliable. Hitler immediately understood and nodded subconsciously.

Goering added: "I have a so-so relationship with Comrade Goebbels, but one thing must be made clear: even if he is really sent to Italy, he must accept my command!"

"That's no problem!"

The day after getting the weapons, Hitler excitedly held a meeting. On the one hand, he arranged the date of the revolution. He thought that the end of November and the beginning of December were ideal, and he needed to find an opportunity for the specific date; on the other hand, he used the fact that Italy provided weapons, funds and personnel support this time as a reason, and believed that this line was very important and needed capable people to take charge of party affairs.

Strasser thought that the other party was going to nominate Himmler, and instinctively wanted to oppose it. As a result, the nomination object that popped out of Hitler's mouth became Goebbels, which surprised him. He could not say anything against it. Rohm was impatient to express his opposition, saying that Goebbels had too little experience in joining the party and that his younger brother Himmler was more suitable. But how could he oppose the appointment jointly determined by Hitler and Strasser?

After some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement: Goering was appointed as the secretary of the National Socialist Party's foreign region, in charge of the party building work of the Germans in the four countries of Czechoslovakia, Italy, Austria and Switzerland; Goebbels was appointed as the secretary of the Italian branch, under the supervision of Goering and reporting to the party.

Strasser finally made an unexpected request: "Considering that Comrade Himmler has performed well and the party is in need of people, it is recommended that he be appointed as the party affairs commissioner of the East Prussia region to assist me in my work. "

The reason for the appointment was very good, because East Prussia is a traditional agricultural area, which just happened to match Himmler's expertise and work. Moreover, he did not directly nominate Himmler as secretary, but only as a party affairs commissioner to assist in the work. This made the reasons of young age, lack of qualifications, and lack of prestige disappear at once.

There was a strange light in Goering's eyes: he was considering poaching people from Strasser's subordinates, and the other party was also reaching out to poach people from Rohm's subordinates. Everyone was the same.

Hitler's face changed, and after thinking it over again and again, he agreed with the decision. He agreed, and Goering would not object. Strasser's faction also agreed. Rohm's opposition alone would be of no use.

Goebbels was overjoyed when he learned of the appointment. He had long wanted to go to Italy to meet Contini. Now he not only got his wish and could work in Italy for a long time, but he felt full of energy. Although Himmler was a little disappointed that the position he had been striving for was replaced by Goebbels, the olive that Strasser handed over was He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, thinking that the East Prussian Party Affairs major was also a good stage. However, Rohm's constant refusal made him feel a little uncomfortable - you can't block the path of advancement for your own interests!

Among the entire National Socialist Party's top leaders, only Rohm felt the most disappointed: he only got a small part of the weapons, and the position he fought for his younger brother was gone, and his younger brother might even be pulled away. He felt indescribable frustration all over his body. He went to Himmler and wanted him to resign from this position and continue to work with him, but was rejected by the latter, on the grounds that "you can't refuse the work arranged by the party and you have to obey the party's command." There was a rift between him and Rohm in his heart.

Rohm wanted to make trouble for Goering again, but he couldn't find an opportunity. Goering was busy spending money to get trucks and thick steel plates, and even felt unsatisfied, so he secretly got hundreds of kilograms of mining explosives - before Contini left, he not only explained the assault trucks, but also explained the suicide bomb car, and Goering thought he could try it.

Now the Ruhr area is stagnant, prices are soaring, and everyone is exchanging everything they can for money and food to make ends meet. People like Goering who have green bills are their most welcome customers. In less than three days, all the necessary materials were prepared and assembled enthusiastically. He was busy with the revolution and didn't care about Rohm's furious attitude.

On November 7, Contini received a telegram from Goering: "Everything will go well after returning home, don't worry! Goebbels will go to Italy with a large number of engineers to start work, please contact him!"

"The United Group has a new leader!"

Contini laughed and not only expressed his welcome, but also asked Goering to tell Goebbels to come early. From residence to personal daily necessities, from salary to working environment, he will arrange everything in advance with a treatment slightly inferior to Goering, and guarantee that the doctor will be satisfied!

Goering was very happy to receive the call back: Contini gave him face very much, and his statement that he was slightly inferior to Goebbels showed that he respected the reality that his status in the party was higher than Goebbels's; the promise to satisfy Goebbels was not empty talk, and Goring could not find fault with the treatment of middle-level managers of the United Group. He recommended Goebbels to Italy and hoped that the other party would have status and face. Contini's promise was more effective than any other words - if it were not for his dedication to the revolution and purely for personal enjoyment, he, Hermann Goering, would have stayed in Italy as deputy captain of transport long ago!
