The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 277: Card Making (Part 2)
This chapter's subtitle: Mankind's greatest enemies are boredom and...
"Gentlemen, I can't eat that much. Please do me a favor."
The owner of the small hotel brought us a pile of food that filled the entire table. It was typical German food that was extremely greasy.
Miss Enyuka had been eating Chinese food with Master Yuan for so long that her taste had become increasingly lighter. Besides, girls always have to pay attention to their figure, so she really didn't eat much.
The two gentlemen seemed to be competing with each other and finished the food in front of them almost at the same time.
Seeing this, Lady Fate made this request. She also divided the remaining food into two equal portions and pushed them in front of the two gentlemen.
"Thank you, ma'am." "Your Highness Temperance" and "Your Excellency Justice" said in unison.
As veterans who had served on the European front, both of them had the good habit of not wasting food, so they continued to eat.
History is always distorted due to certain factors. For example, later generations said that Hitler was a vegetarian.
However, he is not.
Although he occasionally used a vegetarian diet to treat bloating and excessive sweating, he also urged people to eliminate meat from their diets in response to food shortages in Germany during World War II.
But he loves stuffed pigeon, Bavarian sausages, caviar, and an Austrian specialty: liver dumplings.
After the Nazis came to power, they even banned vegetarian groups from holding meetings and publishing publications , as they believed that this would harm the health of the German people.
Oh, and he drinks too.
He frequently drank beer and wine mixed with water, and his aversion to strong liquor was probably due to digestive problems.
It's worth exploring why he's rumored to be a vegetarian and a teetotaler.
Because these days everyone thinks these two types of people are weird (gay). Especially vegetarians, it is hard to understand why they would give up good meat and eat grass.
Human beings have finally climbed to the top of the food chain on Earth, but some people are regressing and even calling it "progress." I don't know what those radical vegetarians were thinking.
Heinrich was the younger of the two gentlemen and did not have gastroenteritis, so he won and finished the sausages and pork knuckles first.
His Excellency, looking at Hitler who was having his meal, suddenly said: "Human beings are the embodiment of desires and needs from beginning to end."
Upon hearing this, His Highness Temperance stopped immediately and replied, "When ignorance and wealth are combined, their value will drop even more."
"Ann, repeat after me..."
Then Lady Fate opened her red lips and said, "The two greatest enemies of human happiness are pain and... boredom!"
The mystery is finally solved. The purpose of the SCP Foundation is the same as the "incision" mentioned by the other two people. It comes from...
Arthur Schopenhauer!
"ha……"
"Ha ha……"
"Ann, laugh with them!"
"Hahaha……"
The three people at the table laughed "at the same time".
"Thank you for your hospitality..." Hitler pushed away the empty plate he had cleared, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I think we can talk about business now."
He asked in a somewhat aggressive tone, "I wonder how a German like me can help you two Americans?"
Please remember that the full name of the Nazi Party, “National Socialist German Workers’ Party (National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei )” is a gross mistranslation!
National is a polysemous word and should be understood here as "nation".
To be more precise, National Sozialistische should be translated as "National Socialism".
The name National Socialism may cause many people to misunderstand that the "Theory of Building Socialism in One Country" proposed by Uncle Iron Man and the "Socialism with the characteristics of a certain Eastern country" later developed by a certain Eastern country are also "national socialism."
In fact, from the establishment to the disintegration of the Soviet revisionists, the Chinese Empire was not a nation-state from 1949 to 2018. Their theory came from Eduard Bernstein, a leading figure in the reformist faction of the Second International, also known as the "revisionist faction."
So both of them were "repaired" later.
The origin of "His Highness the Moderate"'s "national socialism" was Fichte, mentioned above. And when Bismarck became Chancellor, he implemented "dynastic socialism," which was both anti-right and anti-left.
But, but, but, as long as it has something to do with "socialism", it will definitely have a left-wing color, at least in terms of economic policies.
Er Dezi, the "dynastic socialist", promulgated more than 6,000 laws to protect workers' rights, making it the country with the most harmonious labor-capital relations at that time.
At this time, the Nazi Party could still be considered a left-wing party, a left-wing party with anti-Semitic overtones. Actually, this is not a big deal. We can just follow the example of the Iron Man and label Jews as "internationalists" and "Trotskyists."
You can see this from the "Twenty-Five Points" proposed by Hitler in February last year as the party's basic policy.
These programs contain a lot of content that is hostile to monopoly capitalists and protects the petty bourgeoisie and the working class.
In fact, the "Twenty-Five Points" are very consistent with Germany's class structure. Currently, workers account for 53% of Germany's total labor force and employees account for 20%. The two together account for three-quarters of all workers.
In order to attract these anti-capitalist allies, Hitler even asked Nazi party members last year not to wear ties or bow ties or decent clothes when attending party rallies.
His cheap attire was entirely intentional.
However, "His Highness the Temperance" himself has a very contradictory attitude towards the bourgeoisie.
On the one hand, as an ambitious politician who wanted to climb the social ladder, he was very respectful to the upper-class people he met in the process of fundraising, and he deliberately learned the etiquette and ways of communication of the upper class from these people.
On the other hand, he believed that the bourgeoisie was hypocritical, had no real talent or knowledge , and was so-called "cherishing their bodies when doing great things and forgetting their lives when seeing small profits." They were politically unreliable.
Before 1923, he was introduced to big capitalists, but he avoided them and said, "If they want, they can join us, but I don't want to join them as an ally."
Therefore, before the Beer Hall Putsch, the Nazi Party rarely received sponsorship from big capitalists. The only documented sponsorships were ThyssenKrupp of Krupp, Minaux of Stinnes (a railway and shipping magnate), von Braurig, and others.And it was not taken seriously.
For example, in 1923, ThyssenKrupp met Hitler through Ludendorff's introduction and donated a mere 100,000 gold marks.
In other words, if our Master Yuan can let loose, His Highness the Temperance is still a good comrade who can be educated now, and he may not be unable to become one in the future...
Chairman of the Workers' Party of Socialist Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Right-Bank Poland, General Secretary of the Holy Roman Union of Soviets, Captain of the Red SS, the Red Eagle over Europe.
"Skin……"
"Shut up, Master Ball!"
"Hahaha..." A man and a woman from the United States looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Your Excellency Justice" said, "Your Highness Temperance, you are not helping us..."
Seeing the other party wanted to speak, he immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying, "We are not helping you either. We can meet here because we both have a common enemy."
"What enemy?" Hitler's heart moved, but he still pretended to be confused and asked: "Pain and boredom?"
"Haha, how can pain be our enemy? It's the driving force that pushes us forward!"
Lady Fate chuckled and said, "Your Highness Temperance, you're only half right. Besides boredom, our enemies also include..."
