"It's really exciting."

Edel, who was sitting in the office, was holding a telegram from Germany and talking to himself. That's right, a telegram from Germany said a Dutch ********* named Marinus van der Lube had set fire to the Reichstag, and the German government said after an investigation that he was behind it The messenger is German *********.

Like the original time and space, at 22:00 on February 27, 1933, the Berlin Fire Brigade received news that there was a fire in the Reichstag. The fire was not extinguished until 23:30. An inspection of the fire scene by firefighters and police found 20 bundles of unburned arson fuel and a shaky man named Marinus van der Lube. A Dutch ********, an unemployed construction worker, who had only recently arrived in Germany.

But Edel, who has the memory of later generations, knows that this is just Hitler's promise to fulfill his promise to come to power. Because he had an agreement with Juncker before he came to power, the main threat ********* needs to be eliminated. In fact, it doesn't matter who is the mastermind behind the congress arson case, and maybe even personal behavior is not important. The key is that the new Hitler needs someone to become the mastermind.

On the other hand, the party that came to power has long been resentful of the **** for obstructing itself.

Despite Hitler's success as chancellor, after six weeks in power, the fate of the Brown Revolution he led remains a question mark. The Prussian government was urgently dissolved, causing serious concern in other states.

In mid-February, Goering carried out a fierce purge of the Prussian police, purging all those he did not trust. He ordered his police force, "at all costs, to outlaw anything hostile to the SA, the SS and the Wehrmacht. Because these organizations have the most constructive people for the country... The job of the police is to assist in Any form of National Socialist propaganda."

He then issued a statement to the effect that "for various organizations hostile to the state", the police should act decisively and can use weapons at any time. If they are "missing their duties", they are punished. This is an open declaration of war on the ********* people, Marxists and their sympathizers.

Like Prussia, the seven smaller states had submitted politically, but the larger states—including Bavaria, the birthplace of National Socialism—refused to submit to Hitler's government. At the same time, the ********* people called on the masses to rise up and resist.

On February 21, the "League of Red Warriors" incited the "young proletarians" to disarm the SS and SA. "In the future Red Army, every comrade is a commander! This is the oath we made to the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army. Neither machine guns, ******* nor prisons can spoil our struggle. We are tomorrow's Owner!"

A few days later, the official mouthpiece of the ********* "Red Sailor" publicly called for violence: "Workers, enter the fortifications! Advance to victory! Load the bullets! Pull the fuse of the grenade! "

These revolutionary calls may be mere slogans, but Göring took them seriously—or acted on them. He attacked the "Karl Liebknecht Building" in Berlin on 24 February. The official announcement said the police had copied ********'s plans for an uprising. On the evening of February 26, Hanussen predicted that this revolution would break out into war.

At a time when the atmosphere was so tense, the congressional arson attack on February 27 immediately jolted the party's nerves.

It is said that when Hitler saw the sky in the sky turning red, he shouted: "It was *********!"

After shouting, he went to the scene of the fire with Goebbels. Once at the scene, they found Goering in the still burning building.

Subsequently, cabinet ministers, officials and other dignitaries (including the Mayor of Berlin, Prince Owe,

The police chief and the British ambassador) came one after another. The person in charge of the preliminary investigation walked in.

Rudolf Diels, chief of police and police at the Prussian Ministry of the Interior, reported to the Führer and Goering that the arsonist, a Dutchman named Van der Lueb, had been found in the Reichstag - half naked. An interrogator shouted angrily, "Why did you do this?"

The radical youth replied: "For ********."

However, the party did not believe his words.

Goering said. "This is the beginning of the ********* uprising. Not a minute can be wasted..."

Hitler said: "Give them a little color! Whoever dares to stop us will knock him down!"

He blushed because of his excitement, "The German people are too weak to grow up. The ********* who are the officials must be shot. The ********* who are the representatives will be shot tonight. All to be hanged. ********* friends to be locked up. This also applies to Social Democrats and reichsba-ner (state pests)!"

At the same time Goering was furious at those who wrote for the official Prussian newspaper. The draft is only 20 lines long and only mentions one arsonist. Goering glanced at it and shouted, "It's all nonsense! As a police report, this may be good, but it's not a bulletin in my mind, not at all!"

He grabbed a blue pencil and changed the 100 lbs of pyrotechnic material to 1000 lbs. The author countered that a person cannot carry such a heavy load. Goering retorted: "Nothing is impossible. Why do you say there is only one person? There are 10 or even 20! Don't you understand what's going on? This is a sign of a ****** uprising !"

Goering rewrote the communique, pointing out that Van der Lueb's accomplices were two *********s in the Congress. The original author asked him to sign because it was not an official report but a political document. "Only if you officially sign it," he said, "will I hand it over to the news agency and they will accept it."

Goering reluctantly drew a capital g on it. At this time, all the police stations were calling to arrest the ********* members of Congress, as well as the ********* members of the provincial and city councils. ******** officials will also be arrested, and all red newspapers will be closed.

And in the cabinet meeting, Hitler declared that the current crisis compels us to "recklessly" settle accounts with *********, "and not to rely on the law." Therefore, he suggested that an emergency decree be passed to protect the country from the "red", but it must sound purely defensive and not too conspicuous. At the same time, he only mentioned it lightly, "This is a special measure to protect the documents of the German people."

However, when Frank read the draft, it became apparent that the decree had removed most of the rights a democratic society could afford. First, it abolished the civil liberties enshrined in the Weimar Constitution—freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the sanctity of the family, the secrecy of correspondence and telephone conversations, the freedom of association, the inviolability of private property, etc. .

It then empowered the German interior minister to temporarily control state governments that were unable to maintain order. Not a single minister opposed disenfranchisement. Only Papen suggested that meddling in the affairs of the states would sow deep hatred, especially in Bavaria. Papen's dissent was also fleeting. He also made only a few minor revisions—namely revisions.

That night, Hitler went to Hindenburg with him. The head of state argued that this decree was necessary to suppress the red revolution. Papen and Messner did not comment, and the president signed it.
