"You've got the whole government in order? I don't have to die?" Hitler exclaimed when facing Contini who came to visit the prison again and delivered the good news.

"Yes, Adolfo, you can't die!" Contini smiled, "Don't worry about staying in prison. I'll find a way to get you out in a few years. After all, it's such a big mess and there's no explanation. The acquittal is too ironic.”

"So...so...thank you so much!" Hitler was so excited that he couldn't find the right words to express it for a while. .

"It would be ridiculous to say that. I am also a member of the party, your comrade and comrade-in-arms. This is what I should do. I only regret that I have contributed too little to the revolution! I feel very sad when I think of the comrades who sacrificed their lives for the revolution. Sad, very sad!”

"No, no, no, you are the first to contribute to this revolution. Without the help of funds, weapons and personnel you provided, it would be impossible for us to achieve the results of establishing a provisional government, and it would be impossible for us to give the Weimar government a resounding slap in the face." Hitler was excited. He said, "You have contributed so much to the revolution. I don't know how to thank you. I believe these comrades who sacrificed their lives will not blame you. You did your best!"

"Staying here well is the best thank you to me." Contini smiled. "Given the current situation in Germany and the pros and cons of the revolution, I think you must have a lot to say... Me and the prison The parties have communicated well, and you will personally arrange the most spacious and best-conditioned room. The five cells next to it are all used for comrades of our party - Comrade Hess will work with you to figure out the text. The other commandos will be responsible for daily security and daily life. I You will have a maid come to clean every other week. In addition, the prison will arrange a young prisoner who knows how to type and will obey your orders at any time. Other living conditions, including food, have also been arranged. You can go out for a walk every day. If you want to relax, let the prison handle any newspapers, magazines, books, and daily necessities you want. They will all be recorded in my account... You don't have to participate in labor, but you can't enjoy your freedom, so you can only feel aggrieved temporarily. "

Hitler nodded repeatedly: This arrangement was almost like being in jail, but more like living in a suburban villa. It just so happened that he did have a lot of thoughts to express.

"You must have spent a lot of money on my affairs..."

Contini wrote lightly: "It's a small matter... For you and the revolution, no matter what I do, it is worth it!"

Hitler was deeply moved, but he had no idea about money at this time. He guessed that it would probably cost several hundred thousand dollars. A few years later, when I found out that Contini had spent tens of millions of dollars on everything from Albert, Sickert and the six major consortiums to the prison in order to protect him, everyone was dumbfounded. Although most of the products and equipment were purchased, Hitler was not a layman who knew nothing about business. If he did not mean to rescue himself, the other party would not have to pay such a high price!

"How's Hermann?"

"Herman is very good. I have been worried about you before I came here. I wish I could bring someone to rob the prison... He cried twice in front of me and said with regret that I shouldn't have left you alone in Munich, even if I knocked you unconscious. You can also drag it on the plane.”

"This fool!" Hitler laughed and said this, but his heart was full of emotion - the scene when Göring rolled over and hugged his legs and begged appeared in his mind more than once.

"He also wants to come this time, but in view of the wanted order, let him stay in Italy and continue his duties as transportation deputy captain. However, this is a transitional role. He will soon be transferred to a floating transfer airport at sea... Of course, I am urging him to hurry up. Get your personal affairs done.”

"Floating transfer airport on the sea?" Hitler repeated it with difficulty, wondering, "What is this?"

"It's an aircraft carrier, just like Krupp calls a tank a tractor."

Hitler burst out laughing: This friend in Calais was not only powerful and wealthy, he was also very flexible and resourceful. He admired this approach.

Of course, it was Contini's bad taste to let Göring take charge of the floating transfer airport on the sea. Didn't this guy claim that "everything flying in Germany is under my control?" Then the aircraft carrier would be handed over to him, and Italy would dispatch it. It was Poti who had a very good and strong relationship with Goering, and they could play together happily. The relationship between Contini and Goering was a little more formal and more work-oriented.

It is more advantageous to use Göring now than in history. Firstly, he was not shot, and he would not be addicted to drugs if he was not shot. Secondly, Göring is very passionate about flying and is very interested in floating transfer airports on the sea. The prototype of the naval aviation was handed over to the two men to prepare for it; thirdly, Contini was matchmaking Goering and wanted to marry an Italian girl named Betty. This was Contini's senior sister at the University of Rome. After graduation, she joined the Youth Daily. The newspaper is in charge of the administrative office. Her appearance can only be described as above average, but her talents are very good. In the second half of last year, Contini appointed her as the general manager of United Radio Company for the first time - because this company needs to be assembled, it is the only company with more than 100 women. It was a male company, and Betty managed the top and bottom of the company. It was probably because the transportation team was often responsible for transporting radios and newspapers. The two of them somehow got to know each other right away. Finding an Italian wife for Golin would be very advantageous. behavior.

"Congratulations to Hermann, you have a good career and a beautiful woman..." Hitler smiled, "I guess I won't be able to go there in time to bless him. Please help me give him a gift when the time comes."

"Don't worry about other comrades..." Contini added, "I will find a way to arrange a pension for the comrades who were killed or injured in the revolution. The money is not much, so I can only give my best. As for the comrades who are imprisoned, most of them Some of them I think will be released within a few days. There are about 200 other commandos and party cadres who have moved to Italy through various channels. I have arranged all of them and they are under the unified management of Comrade Goebbels and Hermann. Those who are sick and injured should be treated first, and those who are in good health should be arranged to work. Together with the members of the Italian party branch, they are precious firepower of the party and must be properly protected and used to burst out together when the revolutionary wave rises again in the future.”

"I wholeheartedly agree with your arrangement for comrades to join the Youth League first! This is a very good mechanism. We can learn a lot from Italian comrades." Hitler's words confirmed the original decision of Contini and Goebbels. arrangements between

"Let's work together to promote each other. By the way, what are your thoughts about the trial on March 15?"

"Argue with reason and speak impassionedly." Hitler waved his fist confidently. "This is also the fundamental reason why I finally decided to stay that day. I want to use my own experience to awaken the German people and encourage them to keep moving forward. Fighting spirit!”

"Your thoughts are similar to mine." Contini smiled, "I also suggest not to hire a lawyer. Regardless of whether you have a lawyer or not, or how good the lawyer is, your verdict will be the same. It would be better for you to speak more and be more knowledgeable. Fight for something. Anyway, just insist that patriotism is innocent... You are in jail for fighting for the future and destiny of Germany. There is nothing shameful in it! History will give you a fair evaluation!"

"Thanks!"

Contini turned around and called Hess over again. Now he and Hitler were on an equal footing. Hess was almost a subordinate in front of him: "Please take more care of the leader...especially record and organize the leader's thoughts." I have a hunch that this will become an important spiritual wealth and theoretical guiding ideology of the party in the future, and will also be the crystallization of wisdom passed down from generation to generation by the German people..."

"President, it's true. The leader has dictated a lot in the past two days. I'm working hard to sort it out."

"There is no rush now, you can take your time..." Contini smiled, "Jail is not the end of the world. It is just a turning point for us to wait for the opportunity. It is the darkness before the revolution is close to victory. The revolutionary cause in the future will definitely be A burst of dazzling brilliance.”

"I firmly believe this too!"

"After sorting out the book, I will send you as many copies of the manuscript as possible, and I will take it for printing - the United Nations has a printing house! We must ensure that every party member with firm beliefs has a copy."

"By the way, Calais, this book doesn't have a name yet. What do you think would be a better name?"

"What do you think of Mein Kampf?" Contini explained, "It mainly introduces your practice and mental journey of unremittingly fighting for the German revolution and the future of the German nation. I believe more German people will understand and agree with your point of view.”

"Mein Kampf? ​​That's a good name!" Hitler smiled, "That's him!"
