Chapter 61 History will declare me innocent!

Ps: Today’s first update. I have something to do tonight, so the second update may not be available or may be late. I’m very sorry...

"The significance and purpose of this revolution is not to simply overthrow the Weimar regime, but to awaken the pride in the hearts of the German people, to awaken the pride of the German nation that is unwilling to be humiliated, and to fight to restore the confidence of the German nation... is Yes, we did fight against the government troops, and once defeated the so-called elite Berlin Garrison, composed of the best of the Second Reich army - is it because we are better equipped than our opponents? Is it because we are better at training? Is it because we have an overwhelming numerical advantage? No! We are not facing the iron-blooded German troops across Europe!"

Hitler waved his hands excitedly: "The only major difference is that we are fighting for Germany's tomorrow and future, fighting for the proud name of Germany, and fighting for our own ideals and beliefs. The thought of entrenched in the Ruhr area as the leader When we think of the domineering Franco-Belgian coalition, the German economy collapsing in the crisis, and the German people struggling in abject poverty, we have endless motivation to fight! But our opponents, they move forward purely because of certain orders! Come to fight, they have no sense of pride in defending their homeland, no sense of urgency in rebuilding national confidence, and no sense of honor in defeating the enemy. They have lost their soul! Only an army with a soul is worthy of the glorious name of Germany!”

"Wow!" Warm and continuous applause...

Before the public trial on March 15, the court had successively interrogated the key figures of the Munich riots, including Ludendorff and Hitler. Just as Contini had predicted, with his genius and magical voice, Hitler made a loud noise in the court. Ray did not shy away from talking about the riots at all, but cleverly linked the entire motive to revitalizing Germany and saving the German people. He relied on his genius oratory skills to successfully portray himself as a revolutionary, a revolutionary fighting for the future of the German people!

Because of this cover, Ludendorff quickly escaped and was acquitted - he was cleared of suspicion and the last link with the German revolution. From then on, this all-powerful veteran finally entered retirement and retired from politics. Completely disappeared from the stage.

Strasser, who had always opposed violent revolution, soon announced his release due to lack of evidence like most other key members. He never expected that Hitler, who was not released, would gain all the popularity!

Hitler's passionate speech attracted and infected the judges in charge of the trial. They were slowly brainwashed and their sympathy was beyond words. Later, the judge even gave him enough time to make a speech, and at the suggestion of the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, he was given a unique right - —You can interrupt the witness at any time.

According to the instructions of the Weimar government, the court was prepared to convict Hitler of treason. In fact, he was not treason, but treason to the government. If you find a skilled lawyer, you can completely refute this.

Hitler knew that the verdict had been determined, and was too lazy to find fault with these minutiae. He was even less willing to have his lawyer's defense steal his spotlight. Instead, he declared provocatively: "Treason? Very good! This man is weak and incompetent when it comes to surrendering to the outside world, and repressing the country internally." Can the cruel and cruel government now represent Germany? Can it represent the proud, mighty and calm Germany? I think this government will be overthrown sooner or later. If it doesn’t die, Germany will die!”

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and even the Wehrmacht soldiers who were witnesses stood up and applauded in agreement - no matter what Sickert did, the key officers in the Wehrmacht were also anti-Weimar. Hitler said these words Their voices! The judge even forgot to ring the bell to maintain order.

This trial gave great play to Hitler's genius speech, allowing him to capture a large number of fans, especially many female fans. Every time the trial was held, many women rushed up to give Hitler flowers and call him a hero. Except for a few that were controlled by Albert, all mainstream newspapers and media in Germany agreed with Hitler's views. Reporters even printed all of his speeches with a big name called "Trial" - the trial of who. Woolen cloth? It looked more like a trial of the government by the National Socialists.

On March 15, the Bavarian District Court held its last hearing and pronounced that Adolf Hitler was guilty of treason, armed attack on state organs and other crimes, and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

This is of course an established template, but there was originally a sentence of "no parole" but it was deleted by the judges who were sympathetic to Hitler. Albert was speechless after hearing this. It would be too ugly to directly interfere with the judiciary.

Hitler scoffed at this, and made an extremely emotional speech in the defendant's final statement after the verdict: "It is not this court that can judge me, but the eternal historical court! That court will not sentence a person who is willing to fight for the country. The sacrificed Germans are guilty. You can convict me a thousand times, but the eternal court of history will just laugh and tear this verdict into pieces, because he knows that I am innocent. Those who fight for the German people are not guilty!”

The scene after the verdict was even more shocking: When Hitler was escorted by the bailiffs and boarded a prison van to return to the prison where he was previously detained, both sides of the road were lined with Berliners carrying banners and slogans who came to demonstrate to express their support. There were 40,000 people. When the prison van slowly drove in, all the people raised their right hands and shouted in unison with their arms like a forest:

"Heil Adolf Hitler!"

"Long live the national hero!"

The cheers were so intense that Hitler, with tears in his eyes, had to repeatedly reach out his hands from the prison van to salute his supporters, which was then met with even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

In the words of the reporter: How could this be a prisoner preparing to serve his sentence? This was clearly a politician meeting his supporters! Hitler lost the verdict, but won the hearts of the people!

There were rumors that a wealthy sympathizer in Italy had invested a large sum of money for this: any Berliner who stood on the street and shouted slogans could get a $1 reward, so so many people came to greet Hitler.

This statement was not far from the truth. Before leaving, Contini found the backbone of the National Socialist Party who had escaped by chance and gave them $100,000 to let them create the scene and maintain the team. For some reason, the Weimar government did not order the dissolution of the National Socialist Party. Strasser was obviously unreliable, Contini did not trust him, and he was not familiar with other backbones. Finally, Martin Bormann volunteered to take on the task and prepared to organize a cheering ceremony to resist the verdict - of course, it was not simply to distribute $1, which was too crude. Bormann's organizational skills were very good, which Contini believed, and the latter also admired Contini - he knew the power of this domineering president.

All the Berlin citizens interviewed angrily refuted this view, and some excitedly said: "1 dollar? Mr. Reporter, do you think that our behavior of standing here and cheering for national heroes is only worth 1 dollar? In your eyes, the pride and nobility of Germany is only worth 1 dollar? This is too light for Germany, too light for us!"

When seeing this news, Contini had completed the acquisition of the pile of "German junk" in the French warehouse and returned to China. Antonio sighed: "Master, I suddenly feel that you have a very accurate vision of Mr. Hitler. Although he failed this time, he is still honorable in defeat! More importantly, In the past, not many people in Germany knew Hitler, but now he is a household name and has a high approval rating. This is the most important asset for a politician. I suddenly feel that he will have a lot to do in the future. Our investment will not be wasted easily. "

Contini smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. We should still base ourselves on Italy... Money is not important. We can earn it after we spend it. The US stock market is very good."

But in my heart, I was thinking: These tens of millions of dollars are worth spending. With a string of resounding names such as Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, and Bormann, it is enough to blow the whole world to pieces in 15 years. At that time, countless people will tremble!
