Episode 30 – Hatred is Our Duty

[Capitalism, Ho! The first convention is coming soon to New York! Registration is already full as participants flock in…]

[Tesla Radio, Showing a New Type of Store That Has Never Been Seen Before! Most experts gave negative reviews, but the atmosphere on site…]

“Uncle Adolf! We also want to participate in the Capitalism Contest, but we can’t get any subscribers!”

“Uncle, please subscribe! I’ll give you candy next time!”

The Levin kids rushed in.

I put down the newspaper I was reading.

“Candy. That’s not bad. I’ll subscribe to five copies.”

“Wow!”

“Hey, it’s a competition we’re hosting in the first place. Can’t you just give us permission?”

“He said as he entered the office with Richter. Levine followed him in.

“Then it’s not fair to the other kids.”

“I don’t think it’s very fair that we subscribe to poetry and newspapers.”

“I must keep my promise to Hearst.”

I shrugged.

Hurst kept his promise.

The newspapers were constantly churning out articles about the Capitalist Convention.

There’s even Bernays’ marketing campaign.

[According to 97% of economists nationwide, learning economic concepts at a young age is not only beneficial, but…]

Studying economic concepts.

Actually, we didn’t even mention board games.

“The Chicago factory can’t keep up with production.”

First, we had to switch to a reservation system where applications are accepted only.

“Hey, when it’s this popular, we have to sell as much as possible…”

“No, rather, the current situation is more beneficial.”

If there is a shortage, it’s not bad from a marketing perspective.

There are people who line up in the morning just to buy a single potato chip.

As word of mouth spreads, the product spreads faster.

“These days, our store is so busy with customers that it’s hard to keep our wits about us.”

Levine smiled and patted the children’s heads.

“After signing an exclusive contract with Chanel, customers started coming in like waves. The police even had to deploy separate forces to prevent pickpockets from stealing clothes.”

“I didn’t know you would sign a contract so quickly.”

I did drop an idea here and there last time.

I never expected it would be this successful so quickly.

“Chanel, that woman is no ordinary picky person. All the big companies have given up.”

Levine said.

“The contract terms are very meticulous, and they are selling it for an incredibly high price. Well, we are selling it for more than that, so it’s no problem.”

He added.

“Oh, I heard that Coco Chanel will be coming to America soon. Would you, Hitler, come with me? When it comes to business, there is no one I can trust more than you.”

“I can do that much for you. I’ll make some profit from it too.”

Wasn’t Chanel famous for women’s clothing?

I don’t know about menswear.

Still, it’s worth seeing once.

“Then I’ll contact you later. Come on, you guys stop bothering Uncle Hitler and go quickly.”

“I want to play a little longer~”

Levine left the office with the stubborn children.

The magazines the children had left behind caught my eye.

‘Radio news.’

Is a radio magazine already popular? The editor’s name is Gernsback.

That’s a unique name.

It’s Gunsback…

“Mr. Hitler gets along well with children.”

Carnegie, sitting on one side of the room, said:

“I owe a lot to the Levine family. They are the only family that welcomed me when I first immigrated.”

Carnegie isn’t awkward anymore.

After spending a few weeks together, we felt like just friends.

“We’re really like family now.”

For the first few weeks, I was practically a homeless person.

I got a lot of different things.

I put my legs up on the desk and turned on the radio.

A jazz melody that gently resonates.

“Mr. Hitler seems to be a very unique person in many ways. Usually, businessmen are Jews or people of color…”

“It doesn’t look so good.”

Just look at Henry Ford right now.

“I don’t care about race because I’m a good person. In a capitalist society, why would I deliberately turn away potential customers?”

Just look at jazz, for example.

Black music makes money.

The same goes for baseball.

The Negro Baseball League must be very popular by now.

There was no reason to throw this market away just because of stupid racism.

“It’s called Black cat, White cat.”

“If it’s a black cat or a white cat…”

“Isn’t it fine if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice?”

In fact, the phrase “black cat, white cat” used by Deng Xiaoping has a different meaning.

Well, the meaning is roughly similar.

“Black cat and white cat. How impressive.”

Carnegie said as he wrote down his notes.

“I guess you have a more inclusive mindset because you lived in Vienna. Come to think of it, you said you spent your youth in Vienna. Is it true that you worked as a painter?”

“After failing to get into art school, I was practically a homeless person. I occasionally sold postcards and landscape paintings.”

Hitler in his youth.

After my parents died, I barely managed to survive on orphanage pension.

Even that was taken away in a legal dispute.

Even while living that kind of vagabond life, you still went to the opera regularly.

I’m telling you, there’s no one as weird as Hitler.

“Then, could you please draw me a picture?”

“yes?”

Carnegie took something out of his bag.

Canvas, paints, and even brushes.

“Readers will be more curious if they know that Mr. Hitler had an artistic side.”

“So much time has passed since then…”

This is a big problem.

I can’t draw.

“I’m not asking you to draw it right now. If it makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to do it.”

“Oh, yes. I’ll think about it.”

After a brief conversation,

Richter and Carnegie left the office.

I stared blankly at the blank canvas.

‘I think the last time I painted a landscape was when I was in middle school.’

I had no talent for drawing.

I didn’t really like it.

I picked up the brush and roughly dipped it in the paint.

New York cityscape seen through a glass window.

I’m bored, so I’ll draw something roughly.

‘It’s easier than I thought.’

How many dozens of minutes passed like that?

What appears on the canvas is…

It was a picture that was completed plausibly.

Beautifully painted New York buildings.

I drew it too well to be considered my skill?

“for a moment.”

My head suddenly felt dizzy.

What the hell is going on here?

“for a moment!!!”

＊＊＊

“Hey, why are you suddenly like that?!”

“It’s nothing.”

I spoke to Richter, who opened the door and came in, in the most calm tone I could muster.

‘This is not my drawing ability.’

At best, my skill level was at the level of drawing a Zolaman.

Suddenly this level of quality.

Besides, the style itself…

It was so similar to the drawings Hitler made.

“What? Wow, it’s a nice drawing. Did you just draw it?”

Instead of answering, he nodded.

“Oh, it seems okay? This is the first time I’ve seen you draw since you came out of the trenches.”

“…”

I was lost in thought.

I’ve never thought about it deeply until now.

‘Does the fact that I still have my original drawing skills mean that I’ve merged with Hitler?’

I never learned German.

But from the first day of my stay in Bing, I had no problem speaking German.

But the English skills I learned before I got into ice skating still remain.

‘First of all, Hitler and I have completely opposite personalities.’

Anti-Semitic sentiment.

Even hating cigarettes and alcohol.

I don’t even remember what Hitler originally had. So what on earth is this picture?

Valkyrie.

Is this related to the guy who dropped me into this world?

‘He wanted me to become the Führer of Germany and conquer the world.’

For that, German would be essential. Did he only keep the excellent abilities that Hitler had?

What about your speaking skills?

Richter shrugged after hearing my question.

“You were well-received for the speech you gave at the Tesla store a while ago. The press only said good things about it. Weren’t you good at giving speeches?”

Was I originally good at giving speeches?

The problem was that I was a web novel writer.

Because I quickly adapted to this absurd situation without any questions.

Valkyrie, aka X.

That guy threw me into this world for some purpose.

He even left behind various abilities so that he could easily adapt to Hitler.

I guess I need to be more careful.

Nothing had happened so far, but there was no guarantee that it would happen in the future.

“How is the situation in Germany these days?”

“What about Germany? From what I’ve heard, it seems like a total mess. Same goes for Austria.”

Richter said.

“The president can’t even control the old military properly, and France is desperate to extract reparations.”

“It will continue to be like that for the time being.”

Weimar Republic.

The first few years were nothing but chaos.

The German military was virtually free from any interference or control.

It’s like the government and the military are separate organizations.

Germany without Hitler.

I didn’t know what would happen.

“If the chaos continues, either the far right or the far left could take power.”

“Well, if the economy completely collapses, then maybe that’s the case. I guess we’ll be fine for the time being?”

“I need to set up an information network there before then. I need to avoid getting stabbed in the back of the head if I stay still.”

“Hey, information network? Should I send a letter to my friends in Germany?”

“That’s not bad, but I need more detailed and accurate information.”

It was necessary to identify the problem before it occurred.

Should I call it insurance?

Now that I think about it, there was a person who was just the right fit for the job.

“Contact Burns Detective Agency and tell them to meet up soon.”

“Burns? You mean those guys driving around in Rolls-Royces?”

“Yeah, if you’re going to leave it to someone, it’s better to leave it to the best.”

USA.

As expected, it is a perfect country.

Where is detective work more developed than here?

＊＊＊

Two days later.

I sat down across from a man with a familiar face.

“It’s nice to see you again, Waylon Smith.”

“You can just call me Waylon.”

Still massive muscles.

I think he would suit well as an action movie actor.

“When I first met you, I told you that one day you would work with me.”

“…I thought Mr. Hitler had his own manpower.”

Own manpower?

Oh, are you talking about the spy network?

I guess you still think that way. There’s no need to correct your misconception.

“Everything needs cross-checking. Let’s make one thing clear first.”

I said with a smile.

“You did some background research on me at Burns Detective Agency, didn’t you?”

“I can neither deny nor confirm.”

“Of course you would.”

If you admit that you did it at the request of Chairman Morgan, that would be problematic.

“I just want the same conditions. This conversation today must not leak out no matter what happens.”

If you’re the top in the industry, you’d probably have that kind of sense.

But I didn’t intend to put all my eggs in one basket.

‘I guess I’ll have to hand it over to other detective agencies a little bit too.’

If you divide the list and give it to someone, you’ll be able to find out where the information leaked out.

“Of course. But I’d like to hear what the request is about first.”

“First, I want you to protect me and Richter and the other Hitler Company members. And I want you to investigate the people on this list.”

Waylon Smith read off the list I gave him.

“England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria and even Russia. Are you kidding me?”

“I don’t tell unfunny jokes.”

“It would take hundreds of people to investigate all these people. It would also cost a lot of money…”

“Please send me a rough estimate and I will review it and approve it.”

I can’t afford to save money on this. It’s my life at stake.

“Russia is still going through a difficult time as the civil war is still raging. All foreigners are being expelled.”

Smith said.

“But I think it might be possible for other countries.”

“We can’t forget Russia either. Last year, there was an assassination attempt on Lenin…”

Awkward silence.

When I raised my head, I saw the gazes of Richter and Smith.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Where did you hear that there was an assassination attempt on Lenin?”

“I, I haven’t heard anything like that either.”

You haven’t heard of it?

Has the information not been released to the public yet?

That seems quite possible.

If not that…

No, you don’t have to worry about what I don’t know.

“First of all, please do not forget to investigate the Russian side as well.”

“The work that Mr. Hitler is asking for is comparable to that of a country’s intelligence agency.”

“I want more than that. I will continue to support the costs, so for now, please focus on laying the foundation.”

Even though I’m already rich…

It would take more money to pursue this level of intelligence.

‘I have to expand my business somehow.’

Smith, who was reading the list at that time, said:

“There’s a strange name. Goebbels. Who is this person?”

Goebbels.

It’s certainly a unique name.

Nazi propaganda minister.

The person responsible for the massacre of millions with his flowery rhetoric and propaganda skills.

Right now, maybe…

Smith looked at me with questioning eyes.

“I will be studying literature at university.”
