Episode 119 – Takeover Proposal

A massive oil field discovered in East Texas.

People called it the Hitler Giant.

Hitler claimed that George Washington appeared to him in a dream and told him where the oil fields were.

Immediately after the announcement, most citizens looked at it with skepticism.

George Washington appeared in a dream with an angel.

Isn’t this a similar claim to that of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, who claimed to have received revelations from God and Jesus?

“Even if he’s Hitler, isn’t he acting a little strange this time?”

“I thought he was a science major.”

But as the investigation began and the scale of the genetic inheritance was revealed, suspicion turned to enthusiasm.

It was literally a miracle.

[Special Report! The Largest Oil Field Since the Discovery of the New World!]

There was literally an ocean of oil sleeping beneath Texas.

Oil gushed out from various parts of the rig, soaking the ground.

“Hey!”

“Stop that idiot from shooting!”

“If the oil well explodes, we’ll all die, you idiot!”

There was even a commotion as some excited workers fired their guns into the air.

Signs listing prices were posted all over the vast land of Texas.

“Did Hitler really receive revelations in his dreams? He must have used some kind of technology to find them.”

“Then why did you make it public like this? You could have just bought it all up first and dug it up.”

“That’s…”

“Hitler is like Moses who led us to the promised land flowing with milk and honey! Did George Washington, the father of our nation, tell us about these oil fields? He came back to the American people to bring down the skyrocketing oil prices!”

Churches also joined in the excitement, and excitement filled the nation.

The price of oil, which had been at $3 a barrel, fell to $1.50 a barrel, and opinions that it would continue to fall gained ground.

“More cars! A car for every worker!”

No car owner would hate a drop in gasoline prices.

As the number of people supporting the Hopenung Foundation increased, the number of cars with H initial stickers also increased.

“If it were other companies, wouldn’t they have monopolized the oil fields and controlled the prices?! Who would disclose information like this?!”

“Right!”

Few people knew the details of the relationship between Standard Oil and Hitler.

Of course, there were those who found Hitler’s actions suspicious.

But even these people only claimed that Hitler’s dream story was false and that there was in fact a hidden new technology.

The massive oil discovery in East Texas didn’t just impact the United States.

The Kremlin Palace in Moscow.

The New York Times arrived in the top-floor office.

“So that guy Hitler was also involved in the recent discovery of Texas oil fields?”

“Yes, he’s the guy Pero (Penn) has been interested in for a while. The whole of America is crazy about this German guy.”

Krupskaya looked at her husband and said.

Lenin silently stroked the cat sitting on his lap.

“Standard Oil did everything they could to monopolize oil. Is there another capitalist who would disclose information about oil fields like this?”

“For capitalists, immediate money is not the only thing that matters. Sometimes they sacrifice short-term profits for long-term gains.”

He said.

“If such a large oil field is discovered and the price of oil plummets, how much money will there be to drill for? There is only one reason to disclose it after signing a contract with Standard. It was an elaborate ploy to attack Standard.”

The cat purred in his arms.

“By the way, if it’s that big, it’ll have an impact on our economy. If we sell oil right now, it’ll be easier to carry out the NEP.”

New Economic PolicyNEP.

The Bolshevik government announced a new economic policy after the war with Poland.

The key is to partially introduce a capitalist market economy.

The Russian economy, devastated by a long civil war and war, could not sustain war communism.

Lenin had to persuade the Politburo, the Central Committee, and the Party Congress for the NEP.

“How is Pero (pen) these days?”

“Trotsky is not making any moves. He is not even mentioning the trade union question anymore.”

“That’s strange for a Pero.”

The ideological debate surrounding labor unions.

Trotsky had argued that trade unions should be subordinated to the state, but he recently abandoned this position.

The current situation is strangely submissive to Lenin.

“I thought you would definitely make this bigger.”

Lenin was lost in thought.

A memory that now feels like a distant past.

Trotsky visited Lenin, who was in exile in London, and asked for a job at the party organ, Iskra.

After that, Trotsky went back and forth between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, and eventually joined Lenin.

After that, he organized the Red Army and led it to victory in the civil war against the White Army and the Western Allies.

The same goes for the Polish War.

Russia, which had taken over eastern Ukraine, was now also linked to communist Hungary.

“Perot’s biggest weakness was his arrogance. He didn’t have a proper support base within the party.”

“Because they think they know all the answers. They’ve always been like that since they were in London. I think things have changed a lot these days, though…”

“It’s changed so much.”

Lenin muttered, looking at the newspaper.

Trotsky had easily suppressed the Kronstadt rebellion by sailors not long ago.

The rebellion was suppressed by planting a spy in advance inside the Kronstadt base.

Although there were voices within the party that Trotsky’s status had grown too high, he did not appear to be particularly arrogant.

As the anxiety subsided, Stalin recommended Trotsky as deputy chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars.

The power struggle centered around Lenin continued fiercely.

“Perot is hiding something. But every revolutionary has a secret.”

“The Bolsheviks have rallied around you, Ilyich. Isn’t that enough?”

“The revolution is not over yet. This is true even in Europe right now.”

Lenin looked at a world map hanging on one wall.

The only countries still painted red were Russia and Hungary.

“Balance is important in everything. We can’t let Trotsky get too far ahead. Stalin is too greedy and jealous, so he’s not fit for the position of General Secretary…”

A hierarchical order was necessary to protect the revolution.

A wolf pack without a leader cannot survive.

The leader’s job was simple.

Sets the direction of the group and prevents internal strife.

To do that, you have to somehow maintain your position as leader.

“I won’t cross the line as long as I live. Let’s leave Italy to Trotsky for now. Even if he doesn’t go there himself, he can support us here in Russia.”

“Italy?”

“The place where revolution is most likely now is Italy. If we can pressure Austria from the east and the south at the same time…”

Lenin muttered.

“The liberation of Europe may not be just a dream.”

New York

Metropolitan Hall

“Are you really Mr. Hitler?”

“I also bought a dowsing rod a while ago…”

“Did George Washington really appear in your dream? What did he say…”

People kept flocking to the table. I smiled appropriately and sent them away.

‘I was just trying to watch Riefenstahl perform at a leisurely pace.’

People kept rushing in so we had to call in the Burns detectives.

Sitting at the table were me, Amelia, and Morgan III.

The three of us had just finished watching the show and were about to start eating.

“That dancer is really a great dancer. Is she really from Germany?”

“Yes, I had a hard time persuading Miss Riefenstahl’s parents.”

He nodded to Amelia’s question.

Riefenstahl.

I even arranged a separate audition for you.

She began auditioning and within minutes she received an offer to join the Metropolitan Orchestra.

Soon after, she rose to stardom in the American dance world.

From modern dance to ballet, Riefenstahl enjoyed great success and popularity.

Following the newspapers and radio, the paparazzi followed her around.

‘I think raising him as a film director is out of the question.’

Well, it’s not so bad now.

Because you can’t force someone who is satisfied with their current job to become a film director.

Even a tiger will come if you call it.

Riefenstahl smiled broadly as he approached our table.

“Daddy-Long-Legs, you’re here. I received the flowers you sent.”

“Miss Riefenstahl, as I told you last time, please bear with my strange nicknames.”

One alpha is enough.

Daddy Long Legs.

Still, it’s better than Hitler’s nicknames from the original history. From Bohemian Corporal to Uneven Testicles.

Thank goodness there’s nothing like that yet.

Even if you only have one fire egg, it’s not a problem.

Why is everyone so anxious that they can’t make fun of each other?

Of course, I also made fun of Hitler before I became possessed by him.

“If Mr. Hitler hadn’t helped me, how could I have succeeded in America? So, you are Daddy-Long-Legs. Just call me Lenny.”

She smiled and looked at the Morgan siblings, her English skills much more fluent than before.

“You two…”

“My name is Amelia Morgan.”

“This is Junior Spencer Morgan III.”

“If you’re Morgan… you must be very wealthy. I’m Leni Riefenstahl. I’m from Germany, as you can see.”

Riefenstahl looked at me and smiled.

“Thanks to Mr. Hitler, I was able to seize my opportunity in America.”

“You have really great dancing skills. This is the first time I have enjoyed watching a performance like this.”

“You are flattering me. I still have a lot of shortcomings. Your clothes are really pretty.”

Riefenstahl exchanged a brief glance with Amelia, then left the table.

“See you later, Daddy-Long-Legs.”

“You are an interesting lady.”

“It’s a very bold style.”

Did you say that you fought with Goebbels over everything even when you were a film director?

The thing you fought so hard to protect was Nazi propaganda.

It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it?

The three of us continued chatting about this and that.

From stories about Texas oil fields to the container business.

“People always want to see what they want to see. Those who think America is the land of the chosen ones will believe Mr. Hitler’s claims that he received revelations from George Washington. What is the truth?”

“You speak as if I lied, Miss Morgan. Could it be that George Washington really did appear in my dream?”

Glasses passed back and forth several times, and a short silence flowed.

“I heard that Mr. Ernst Richter is getting married. Can we go too?”

“Richter would be welcome. It would be a Jewish marriage, but if there are no problems…”

“It won’t be a big problem.”

Amelia said so and winked at her brother.

“Amelia, you’re not really going to do this, are you? If rumors spread strangely, it would have negative repercussions for both the Morgan family and the Hitler Company.”

“Don’t worry, brother. I didn’t think about that much.”

Bad influence?

Is going to a Jewish wedding such a big deal?

“Well, that’s fortunate. To be honest…”

Morgan III hesitated for a moment, then stood up with a smile.

“I hope your plan works, Amelia. Then, I will take my leave of you, Chaperone.”

“I thought chaperones were mostly women.”

“Unfortunately, there aren’t many ladies willing to take care of my little sister.”

Morgan III nodded and left.

The only ones left at the table are me and Amelia.

A strange tension flowed in the silence.

“I apologize if this is sudden. I wanted to make a business proposition to Mr. Hitler.”

“Business is always welcome, especially Morgan.”

After saying that, he poured himself a drink. Suddenly, he got a business offer.

Haven’t we talked enough about containers?

Perhaps there could be a bit more war of nerves over IMM shares.

“How about marrying me?”

“Interesting suggestion… yes?”

I stared blankly at the woman in front of me. Did I hear wrong?

“I think I misheard you. Could you please say that again?”

“I think you can think of it as a takeover offer. I think it would be very beneficial for Mr. Hitler as well.”

Still a calm voice.

There wasn’t even the slightest tremor.

You’re not joking?

“I think a more detailed explanation is needed.”

I finished my glass.

I never imagined I would receive a business offer like this today.

Q: What was Lenin’s ruling style?

A: In the original history, Lenin’s rule over the entire vast country of Russia lasted a relatively short period of two years, from 1920 to 1922.

But Lenin’s power was not absolute, and his revolutionary comrades, including Trotsky, also exercised considerable influence.

After the success of the revolution, Lenin proposed that he should devote himself solely to the party and that Trotsky, who had led the uprising, should lead the government, but Trotsky refused.

Although everyone within the Bolshevik Party respected Lenin’s authority, he had to convince the Politburo of his decisions through political tricks and discussions.

Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev, Kamenev and Bukharin also aspired to power, but they were divided.

Thanks to these internal struggles, Lenin was able to strengthen his power and authority.

Lenin also actively used terror and empowered the secret police, the Cheka, advocating “unlimited power based on force, not law.”

At that time, the Cheka carried out tens of thousands of summary executions, and arbitrary shootings and arrests became routine.

In 1918, Lenin ordered the leadership of the Penza region on the Volga to carry out demonstration executions of kulaks (rich peasants) and requisition all grain.

[Hang at least one hundred well-known kulaks, wealthy people, and vampires. Hang them in a place where all the residents are gathered.]

Lenin’s idolization as a leader of the revolution began while he was still alive, which later led to the idolization of Stalin after Stalin came to power.
