Chapter 7 (Continued) Profit, War

  The term "kidnapping" may occur frequently between individuals, but it is extremely difficult for countries to achieve this. Germany, in order to get rid of the various reparations imposed on itself after World War I, had to find another way out due to its economic difficulties, and it was a good path for development, which could not only get rid of economic troubles but also develop its own economy, and soon return to being a great power. Wall Street, for its own interests, the United States, in order to exert its international influence, mainly to maintain the balance of power in Europe, Germany's situation was too bleak for the United States and all of Europe, great economists devised a good Dawes Plan, but it ended up being exploited by Germany, one misstep after another, Hitler took control of international affairs.

  "Why do I say that Hitler is a man who should be taken very seriously? The reason is simple: Hitler's systematic analysis and positioning of the various forces in the world was not that of a madman or someone relying on luck. He cleverly utilized every card in his hand, especially in his analysis and positioning of national policies, which reached a level of genius. Perhaps this had something to do with the team behind him, but one thing is undeniable: he was a man skilled at utilizing advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

  "Hitler knew that relying solely on the support of international financial capital was not enough, and he also had to utilize the power of religion. The Western Christian world's historical hatred for Jews originated from not only the fact that Jews killed Jesus but more importantly because the new banking system and currency issuance mechanism would lead the world into an era of low interest rates, which is in stark contrast with the Jewish usury."

  "The usurious activities of the Jews have attracted a large amount of surplus funds, seriously threatening the normal savings of banks and greatly restricting the government's bond issuance work. The Jews have become an obstacle to the modern central banking system. In order for the reorganized Deutsche Bank to truly become Germany's central bank, it is necessary to eliminate the existing financial vested interests. However, in Western countries that uphold the rule of law, how can one deprive these people of their legitimate property? After all, they have always claimed to be free men of the civilized world, with human rights being supreme."

  "So Hitler took advantage of this point, the Western world's widespread anti-Semitism?" Zhang Yu asked in a timely manner.

  "Yes! To solve this problem cleanly and neatly, the church and international financial capital cannot afford to show their faces. Moreover, capitalists cannot give governments the right to infringe on private property, otherwise, they will not be able to guarantee their own future security. Therefore, simply depriving Jews of their property and degrading them as inferior people is not feasible, that is a feudal practice that does not meet the requirements of a civilized world. What can be done is to use religion to target special groups for physical elimination, believers in Western countries are the vast majority, and the power of the church is enormous, the power of the people is boundless. When the church starts to intervene in finance, the tragic fate of the Jews begins."

  "So, the massacre of Jews was not Hitler's personal reason, but rather a long-standing extreme racism in the Western world, which Hitler combined with his own goals. The signs that were hung high in the concession areas of China - 'Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter' - aren't they a manifestation of their racism? Therefore, regarding the massacre of Jews, Hitler had support from all sides. Apart from the religious churches being delighted, many Western countries directly sent their own Jewish citizens to Germany, letting them live in German concentration camps. All this was just continuing the European tradition of persecuting Jews. However, after World War II, only a fool would say they supported the Nazis, and who can remember who applauded when they saw the Jews being harmed..."

  Zhang Yu heard this, smiled and said: "Yes, I've read Shakespeare's plays, that is the very famous Merchant of Venice, where a character named Shylock, under Shakespeare's description, became an evil and greedy usurer, a Jew!"

  "In an era of bestsellers, it is the most reflective of the social mentality of that era. Otherwise, how could it be a bestseller?" Zhang Yu-sheng smiled calmly and continued: "Due to the Jews being exploited by all sides, Jewish business must take sufficient profits, must be sufficiently greedy, and this result continues to lead to greater resentment among the people towards the Jews, becoming the target of the church and the ruling class's transfer of social contradictions. Therefore, hatred of the rich has a very deep-seated interest behind it, and the charity of Western wealthy people also has historical lessons."

  "After capitalism developed to the stage of industrial monopoly, finance had become the commanding heights of industry and a country's economy. Such an industry that grasped the lifeline of a nation's future was controlled by inferior Jewish infidels. The new banking system was established on the basis of currency issuance with national debt as collateral, greatly reducing the cost of currency issuance compared to the previous use of gold and silver, thereby producing the famous effect of bad money driving out good."

  And since currency is also a commodity with costs, the cost is actually corresponding to interest rates, so the new banking system can lower interest rates, provide more currency and promote economic development. The capitalist world needs this prosperity to a great extent, therefore the most important point of the Dawes Plan was to reorganize the German banks and reform the currency, which would directly lead to intense conflict with the original financial beneficiaries, namely the Jewish financiers, and the reorganization of the German banks is also an attack by international new financial capital on the traditional Jewish financial power. By the time Hitler came to power, he utilized this contradiction and increased the intensity and scope of the attack to unprecedented levels, achieving some special purposes in the process.

  "So, behind the persecution of Jews, there is support from the church and international financial capital. Such power obviously transcends national sovereignty, the church was able to dominate nations in the Middle Ages, and after internationalization and monopolization, financial capital dominated the economic lifeline of nations. With such power supporting him, Hitler was able to play the role of a butcher on stage, applauded by the crowd."

  "It seems you've understood a bit! However, your view of Hitler is somewhat superficial. What we said earlier about Germany rising isn't enough; more economic policies are needed to support it. Hitler used Jewish wealth to arm and prepare Germany for war, but expropriating wealth would only be a process of social wealth transfer, not generating new wealth and even causing losses. What truly made the national economy develop was that he leveraged international finance's power to destroy the Jews' outdated usury financial system and establish a modern central banking financial system."

  Later, in accordance with the central bank's indirect way of issuing currency, he issued a large number of bonds, which are the collateral for banks to issue currency. Anyway, international finance will buy it. As a result, the amount of money injected has increased greatly, and there has been a huge progress compared to the way of issuing currency by mortgaging gold and silver. With the injection of money, the economy became active, and the economic foundation of Germany's rise lies in this.

  Hitler came to power at the end of the greatest economic crisis in history, adopted a bloody Keynesianism, with active fiscal policy of the state towards military development, driving bond and currency issuance, causing wave after wave of national economic development, but the country's active fiscal policy must have enough consumption to drive it, however, domestic consumption in Germany did not pick up, he had no choice but to rely on war to consume.

  Zhang Yusheng said, reaching out to Zhang Yu for a cigarette. His wife's pregnancy had brought the busiest period of their lives, and he spent all day thinking about problems until his brain was numb. He could only occasionally smoke a cigarette to clear his mind, and he knew that Zhang Yu always carried a pack of unopened good cigarettes with him. After they each lit up a cigarette, Zhang Yu thought about what Zhang Yusheng had just said, and after repeated consideration, he felt enlightened.

  "The reform of social security, scientific research, including the study of relativity and atomic bombs, the construction of a national highway network, etc. He did a lot of basic construction, which, combined with radical economic policies, enabled Germany's economy to develop rapidly, thereby shaking off the heavy burden of compensation after World War I. Hitler had to issue these massive bonds to raise funds, so he had to suppress high interest rates in society, and it was natural to strike at Jewish usurers. By striking at Jews, he successfully established a national financial and monopoly system, which is very much in line with the spirit of National Socialism. The development of the national economy also caused the frenzy of the lower working class, a hysterical frenzy of the Third Empire..."

  "This I know, in Germany people call Hitler a god-like figure. However, the income of ordinary Germans has not increased, and monopolized investment has not improved the consumption capacity of ordinary people, thereby driving investment returns and benign cycles, just like our autonomous region, making the economy a benign cycle, although also with a bit of aggression! He dares to take out his country's economic foundation, namely the root of currency issuance, and let international capital intervene, dares to tie the fate of the nation and the world's economic trend together to accelerate Germany's economic recovery, dares to wield these two double-edged swords of international finance and religious beliefs, if he can withdraw in time, then he is a perfect gambler."

  Zhang Yu said, looking at Zhang Yusheng with half-closed eyes, the strong momentum of autonomous region's economic development is planned by this god-like person in front of him. To shorten or even surpass the powerful countries in a short period of time, apart from achieving a development speed comparable to that of the reform and opening-up era, Zhang Yusheng must also carefully manage and control the development speed and situation of the autonomous region, and look forward to the future with a reasonable layout, which is indeed a painstaking effort.

  "For the sake of sustained economic growth, new investments are shifted to the military-industrial sector, with a proactive fiscal policy driven by the military. After its development, it can only either sponsor wars or participate in them; in any case, war is necessary for consumption. As a result, militarization and large-scale warfare become inevitable. The interests of financial capital are simply too strong and extremely inclined towards war."

  "When it comes to this, I have to mention a country that made a fortune in World War I, which is the United States. When Hitler persecuted Jews, they were the biggest beneficiaries. A large number of European Jews fled to the United States with huge wealth, bringing a lot of wealth and talent to the United States. The complex situation of coexistence among foreign groups within the United States also determined the necessity of implementing human rights equality. Moreover, as a country founded on commerce, their standard for measuring people and things is wealth, not human rights. Poor Chinese, Indians, blacks, etc., all became the carriers of their continued promotion of racism. Behind the scenes of promoting human rights and attracting social elites from other countries, their human rights are as stinky as the shit in a latrine!"

  Zhang Yusheng and others, in the days of establishing their career in the United States, always thought about "returning home early" and "lying on thorns and tasting gall". Every time they encountered difficulties, they thought of "persisting again and again, and they would definitely succeed". Now that they have returned to China and developed well, when recalling those years, Zhang Yusheng's heart is not a pleasant one. The contempt, sarcasm, and oppression of foreigners, until cooperation, flattery, and compromise, are not just Zhang Yusheng's feelings.

  "Tell us more about Germany, how Hitler rose to power and his downfall are of great importance to us. What's the point of that country America?"

  "Oh, the topic has gone off on a tangent! Anyway, that's how the Western world kept appeasing Hitler, from supporting Germany over France to supporting Germany over the Soviet Union. The rise of communism posed a huge threat to the global landscape and the financial capital of the capitalist world. A planned economy would change the rules of the game and threaten the rights of financial capital. But who could have thought that our Soviet Union in this time and space couldn't withstand the turmoil, and was soon destroyed by the Western world's unity? Not long ago, even its leader Lenin went to meet Marx, so communism no longer posed a threat to the Western world. Of course, we're not talking about that now."

  However, regarding Hitler's abnormal rise, the international financial capital that supported Germany was unwilling to let him go unchecked. The Nazi Germany that advocated for national socialism became too powerful and would disrupt the order of the game of financial capital. Hitler did not have the power to restrict it, and the repayment of the massive German bonds supported by financial capital could not be guaranteed. The direction of the National Socialist Workers' Party was at odds with financial capital, so international capital's tolerance for Hitler had its limits. Unfortunately, Little Hitler did not see this point.

  Moreover, for the church, the fascism advocated by Hitler, who had been mythologized as a personal god, became a new value system and ideology, which was obviously unacceptable to the original various religious forces and ideologies. Especially, fascism's brainwashing of the nation gained the support of extreme nationalism and extreme patriotism, in the eyes of the church this is essentially a heresy that cannot be tolerated in the global religious landscape.

  "What's more, Germany's huge military successes brought a real survival threat to Western countries, and as a result the Western world put Nazism above communism. Once the contradictions with communism disappeared, they would turn their spearhead towards Nazi fascism, and after eliminating fascism, they immediately turned against communism, thus starting the famous Cold War!"

  Zhang Yusheng and Zhang Yu were discussing the historical development of causality in another time and space, with the premise that the red communism represented by the Soviet Union was still alive, but this world was somewhat different. How it would develop was not the focus of their discussion at this point.

  "After the Western world was no longer appeased even after the unexpected success of the Blitzkrieg in Germany, Hitler's inertial thinking from his previous successes still worked, and he and his fascists did not anticipate that international capital and religious forces would no longer tolerate them. If he could have realized this, it is estimated that he would have stopped in time, and there would have been no intentional release of the main force of the British army at Dunkirk, nor the delusional idea of negotiating with Britain."

  "I know this, the West knew that Hitler's appeasement policy was based on the Soviet Union's eastward expansion, swallowing many Baltic countries, and the entire European region felt a deep chill. So they needed a strong Germany to serve as a barrier against communism, and Hitler himself was extremely hostile to the Reds, and was also the long-term trusted butcher of international capital and religious forces."

  "Yes, under such premises, the policy of appeasement developed step by step to its peak, making Hitler so proud that he didn't care about national dignity and credibility. When Germany invaded Poland, the British and French armies watched and waited foolishly for Hitler to destroy Poland symbolically before signing a treaty not to fight again. If things went worse, they would have thought that the war wouldn't be more brutal than World War I."

  "But the fact once again proved that humility makes progress, and arrogance leads to decline. Hitler, who had successfully challenged the bottom line of international capital, religious forces, and Western national policies, exaggerated his own fantasies to an excessive extent, and launched a surprise attack on France, making the Maginot Line a useless theory in practice. The bloody fruits of World War I were easily obtained and expanded by Hitler, which led Germany to the peak of military power, but he did not realize that he and his German people had already been abandoned by international capital."

  "Europe's history has been one of resisting unification, as international financial capital does not allow any country to become too powerful. Hitler's Germany replaced the playing field of international financial capital, putting itself on the opposing side of global power, and US-led international capital benefited greatly from the intense battle between England and Germany, successfully transferring the world financial center to the United States. The obstacle to the global financial monopoly was Hitler's Germany. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!"

  "At the same time, the church was extremely unwilling to see fascist ideology surpass its own spiritual power in the eyes of the people. After completing the purge of pagans, the ideological differences between the two sides grew even greater. The Catholic-dominated churches of Germany and Italy became increasingly at odds with the Protestant churches of England and America. When Germany completed its occupation of France, it can be said that it had reached the pinnacle of military power, but its fate had also reached a turning point. The principle of 'things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme' is not unreasonable."

  "Hmm!" Zhang Yu lit another cigarette, he rarely smoked consecutively. "Looking back at the war, it's clear that Germany was heading for decline. Since they had made plans to attack Moscow, how could they not have sufficient supplies? The temporary decision to occupy Kiev and other industrial areas was also to obtain its resources. The reason is just as you said, international financial capital has withdrawn. Without sufficient economic support, the German army's military defeat was bound to happen sooner or later..." Zhang Yu's summary earned Zhang Yusheng's nod of approval, both of them seemed to have understood some truth.

  "Unfortunately, everything is different now! The Dawes Plan was delayed but implemented, Hitler was sentenced to prison, and the US made a great effort to dissolve German bonds in world capital... Everything is just a matter of time, but the world lost one protagonist - the Soviet Union! Without this red polar bear threatening the entire European continent, only a corrupt Romanov dynasty dominated over the people. Hitler could not win with those appeasement policies unless..."

  "What if?"

  Zhang Yu also felt that if World War II had not broken out, and the Western world had not been given a thorough destruction, turning the attention and focus of the entire world away, it would have been difficult for China to dominate Asia. If they could make preparations for long-term development at a relatively small cost, this sacrifice would be worthwhile, just like when others were still small-time players, they would eliminate them, such as getting rid of the Chiangs.

  "Unless for the Western world, especially Hitler's Germany, to shape a powerful enemy, just like the Red Polar Bear representing communism, not only threatening the sovereignty and security of European countries, but also threatening the spiritual dominance of the church, the common interests of international capital, and the foundation of the development of the capitalist world. As long as the two great enemies, the Red Polar Bear and the Jews, exist, the Western world will indulge Hitler's tyranny. It is certain that Hitler will oppress and massacre the Jews after he comes to power, and it can be compared to his commanding Germany, only the polar bear is suitable!"

  "So you're saying that you support the remaining Bolsheviks within Russia? It's very difficult for them to rebuild the Soviet Union. Everyone knows that the Romanov dynasty thoroughly purged Russia until this year, and many party members were killed or corrupted, and some were even wrongly accused. The five-year Great Purge was more brutal than our own Ten Years of Chaos. Moreover, Nicholas II learned a lesson and actively improved his treatment of the people to maintain his rule. So now the Slavs are already intimidated and have felt the emperor's benevolence. How much longer can the impoverished and weak Bolsheviks survive? Don't tell me they have faith or whatever, faith can't be eaten as food."

  "You're getting confused, this Romanov is still a backward feudal dynasty, just because he temporarily relaxed the intensity of domestic slavery doesn't mean that the feudal imperial blood in his bones has disappeared. Russia under his rule can only be a powerful agricultural country, and in recent years, due to its declining national strength, it has already become invisible in international affairs. Once there is any fluctuation in international finance, how long do you think this feudal corrupt regime of Romanov can last? The enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Bolsheviks are now down on their luck, but I have high hopes for them, one day they will rebuild the Soviet and replace the feudal dynasty, at that time the world will return to its original track, only the timing has changed!"

  "How can one allow others to snore beside their bed! Your way of scanning the globe, analyzing situations and making reasonable arrangements is quite impressive. The little rascal's scheme is indeed not small. If the red polar bear rises again, this world will be even more interesting."

  Profit disputes, wars come and go.

  A country's politics, military, diplomacy and so on are all for the benefit of one's own country or nation, whether in the short term or long term. The military is always an extension of war, and war is a brutal slaughter for the sake of interests. Who is pitied? From birth to survival, there is no "pity" in life. Whether you are a common people or a powerful country, as long as there are interests involved, war will never be far away from you, perhaps right next to you...
