by fnovelpiaPaul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorf und von Hindenburg.
He is a 19th-century figure who was born in Posen, Kingdom of Prussia on October 2, 1847. He started his career as an army officer early on and fought in World War I (before World War II, which at this point is simply called the ‘Great War’). At the beginning of the so-called war, he became a war hero along with Ludendorff.
The title of ‘war hero’, supported by the numerous medals hung on his chest, allowed him to hold the power to control not only the army but also everything in the German Empire.
The U.S. military entered the war on the Western Front and even the Ludendorff Offensive, which was the final blow, failed, putting an end to his life as a soldier and ending the fate of his country.
However, thanks to being known in the world as a master general who unfortunately lost after a struggle, he recorded an overwhelming vote in the presidential election of 1925 and succeeded in decorating his second life brilliantly after his life as a soldier, from which he could never return. It’s the Hindenburg.
Now that his hair has faded to white, when he looks back on his youth (I can’t help but think it’s a cliché phrase that often starts with the words ‘back in my day’), cars are not only not popular, but their existence is unknown. There were quite a few people.
The world’s first steam-powered car was invented in France in 1769, and the first electric car was invented in Hungary in 1824, so people were driving on wheels even before he was born, but their performance was so poor that only people in the know knew about them.
Among those who know of the existence of cars, there are quite a few who believe that this will ultimately fail, and if they happen to hear about the existence of such an item from an acquaintance but have not seen it with their own eyes, they dismiss it as nonsense.
This means that there were quite a few rural people who could not even access the news of the invention of the automobile due to the limitations of the times.
During the First World War, when the car was the brightest moment of his life, it was adopted as a means of advancing several kilometers and breaking through the hellish trench warfare that spread the blood of tens of thousands of people and filled only with rats and fleas. shall.
The British were the first in the world to burn oil instead of bread and salt, add armor plates to a forward-moving vehicle, put a gun barrel on top of it, named it ‘tank’, and sent it to the front line, and the results were immediate.
The German Imperial Army, which had been dealing with the soldiers of the Entente countries on all fronts almost single-handedly, was unable to think of a way to deal with the fire-spitting lumps of metal that were running towards them, and were pushed back.
By the time we finally arrived with countermeasures such as tank crabs and replica tanks, there was nothing we could do because the U.S. troops were already spread out on the front lines.
We pulled out America’s nose hair with a few tiny U-boats, so what can we do? All you have to do is cut off the top and bottom of the black-and-white flag and raise only the middle part high in the sky and wave it.
It was a ‘war that was almost won’ (according to Hindenburg’s delusions), but the Jews inside the country interfered with the war effort, and the Entente Powers unsportsmanlikely brought in tanks that had never existed before, and even the United States participated in the war at the end of the war. I had to accept a report card with the word “lost” stamped on it.
As I turned around with tears in my eyes, I realized that Germany’s tragedy did not end there, and the bullets called the Treaty of Versailles flew and even killed me.
As a man who had once been an imperial field marshal, Hindenburg regretted the fact that the Treaty of Iversailles had created great difficulties in developing new weapons, such as tanks, which had proven their usefulness throughout the war, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Because of its unique political system, it is an international outcast, except that it becomes a secret friend of the Soviet Union, which is no different from Germany, secures land to build a military academy and research institute, and secretly allows it to research new weapons little by little.
It must have been like that… One piece of news from the Astrakhan Military Academy was enough to rekindle the flame in his heart that he thought had died out a long time ago.
“There is one thing I would like to ask. If I’m not mistaken, the Treaty of Versailles is still in effect, and these days, with the recession hitting, it would be impossible to generate enough power to mass-produce new weapons.”
“Are you telling me that a 20-year-old cadet who entered the military academy this year, who is not an officer who graduated from the military academy and is officially serving, has created a new weapon that will turn all the tanks out in the world into scrap metal? Is that possible?”
“Huh… You said that the last time I told you this story, but your suspicions still haven’t gone away? I do that to make you feel sorry too.”
“I don’t remember a time when I treated Mr. President poorly… On the contrary, as a person doing business in Germany, I paid my taxes faithfully, and occasionally called him personally and treated him well…”
“Well, that’s true, but… the news you brought me last time was quite surprising.”
“When I was just entering the military academy, I remember being confused as I saw tanks that did not exist running on the fields during the last war. If I were to show them a new weapon so superior that it could all be turned into scrap metal, anyone would have the same reaction as me. .”
“Jeong, if you don’t believe me, just assume that all the new weapons in the photos are fabrications and just visit me as if you were receiving food from me as usual. I am not asking you for money or interest, Mr. President, and you have nothing to lose, right?”
“If you say it that way… you can’t help but visit, even if it’s just out of sincerity. Good. I will make sure to go on schedule.”
“Thank you for your wise decision.”
Field Marshal Roh, Hindenburg, is over 80 years old this year.
Although he never gave up his doubts until the end, he came from the United States to Germany, where he ran an oil-related business, and among those who were obligated to pay taxes in Germany, he paid the largest amount of taxes on a regular basis without being late even once. A tank equipped with electrothermal chemical artillery, unable to resist the strong advice of a certain businessman…
Attack… helicopter… copter…? What is this again…?
Anyway, I decided to visit Mr. Fortisssimo’s mansion to see things that I had never heard of, not only in my youth, but also recently, and to be treated to food.
If the performance of each item being shown is real, it would be a spectacle like no other in the world, so it would be hard to refuse an invitation just because it makes no sense.
Even if it was all fake, there was nothing to lose if you thought that you were receiving treatment with his money rather than providing subsidies at the national level to a capitalist you had known for a long time.
It’s fine if it’s real, but if it’s not, it’s fine.
Compared to Hindenburg, who was cautious before actually visiting the mansion, Hitler, who had been the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, also known as NSDAP, since 1921, decided to visit quite impulsively.
“What? A patriotic entrepreneur like Mr. Portissimo said he would show us new weapons that could change the grim reality of the German people? Then I have no choice but to go!”
He had no doubt that the Germanic people were the best people in the world, and he was known as a German-American (though in fact he was Jewish) at a time when capitalist ‘pigs’ who had originally done business in Germany were struggling to survive on their own during the Great Depression. I have observed various ‘patriotic’ acts shown by businessmen.
In fact, when other people are working hard to pay even a penny less in taxes, he alone pays his taxes faithfully and makes donations and defense contributions separately from taxes to help ordinary citizens and soldiers in difficult situations, just like Hitler. Even if he is not a nationalist, he still deserves good reviews.
But a ‘patriotic’ capitalist whom he has been eyeing asks him to come to his mansion to show him big, beautiful tanks? Oh, I can’t stand this. Don’t be able to tolerate it.
Even in actual history, Hitler had shown great interest in the heavy tank series, including Panzer 6 Tiger (57 tons fully loaded), Löwe 7 (90 tons fully loaded), and Mauss 8 (200 tons fully loaded). Being invited by a capitalist to see the new weapons that will be responsible for the future German army is an opportunity not to be missed.
I even heard that the person who created the new weapons was a cadet currently attending the Astrakhan Military Academy and was politically supportive of him.
‘A talented person who will definitely become a general in the future supports this Hitler, so my political life was not in vain! It would be great if we could recruit people from our political party, but even if the story doesn’t work out, it would be a huge benefit just to get to know these talented people. So let’s not feel too sorry.’
The executives of the NSDAP, who were supposed to stop Hitler, reacted in the same way.
As an air force ace in World War I, Goering did not want to miss the golden opportunity to see the next generation of fighter planes, and Goebbels believed that if color television and communication satellites actually existed, he could maximize the effectiveness of propaganda, the field in which he was most confident. , Himmler simply wanted to meet with the developer of a new weapon as soon as possible and lay the foundation for defeating the Wehrmacht and expanding his power.
Whatever the reason each had in their hearts, it wasn’t long before they and Paula met.
