"So, you want to merge the two parties we and establish a stronger political party."
Baron Dezhi pondered, chin in hand.
"That's right, your Nationalist Party and we Nazi Party have considerable influence within your respective spheres, but on a national scale, you're just insignificant small parties."
Strasser felt somewhat helpless.
"The Nazi Party only has 32 seats, and your Nationalist Party has only 16. Together, we probably don't even have half of the seats held by the Social Democratic Party in Germany. This can't create any significant impact in Germany.
However, if we unite, it would be different. The Nazi Party has a very advanced propaganda model and political ideology, while your Nationalist Party has the unemployed workers and veterans from the entire Berlin area as enforcers. We can be the brains, and you can be the fists; together we would be like a tiger with wings."
Strasser said seriously. He truly needed to establish his own armed forces; power comes from the barrel of a gun.
No matter how good one's ideals are, without a sufficiently strong military force to rely on, they remain mere castles in the air.
Although military force cannot eliminate ideas, it can destroy the entities that carry those ideas.
One cannot place all hopes on Rom's promises; otherwise, even if one achieves victory in the Night of the Long Knives a decade later, they would merely be a puppet controlled by Rom. Future experiences indicate that while Strasser and Röhm are loyal to National Socialism, they love their own power even more. Otherwise, they wouldn't harbor any illusions about Hitler, allowing the Night of the Long Knives to disband the stormtroopers and wait passively.
"What do you think, Albrecht? You are the founder of the German National Party."
Baron Dezhi asked, "As long as I can fight alongside you and Brother Strasser, I am willing to join any party. I'm tired of staying in Berlin anyway; it's a good opportunity to explore the customs and culture of other places in Germany." Albrecht continued to be smooth-tongued.
Baron Dezhi helplessly covered his forehead. It seemed that fighting for rights had to rely on himself. He really didn't know how he ended up collaborating with such a guy; was his brain kicked by a donkey?
"As far as I know, you are not the top figure in the Nazi Party, right? How are you going to persuade the party members to merge with us? Moreover, your German National Socialist Workers' Party and our Nationalist Party have different ideologies. The Communist Party of Germany should be more to your liking."
Baron Dezhi expressed his doubts. Strasser smiled and said, "I must say, Viscount Ernst is truly skilled at asking questions. He managed to throw so many at me all at once, making me answer them one by one."
"First of all, I am indeed not the number one figure of the Nazi Party right now, and I may not be for some time in the future." Strasser stopped Otto, who was about to argue. "However, that does not affect my ability to persuade our party to merge with your Nationalist Party. I am the head of the Ministry of Nazi Party Propaganda and hold considerable influence within the party; even Führer Hitler has to consider my opinions."
"Secondly," Strasser extended his second finger, "the ideology of the Nazi Party, although it has its differences from yours, actually has more similarities."
"Oh? Tell me more," this piqued Viscount Ernst's interest.
"Although we have differences in our worldviews, you believe that the biggest contradiction in today's Europe is ethnic group conflict, while we believe it is class conflict, but we also have similarities.
That is, we both represent the interests of the working class. Most supporters of your Nationalist Party are veterans and Berlin workers, with basically no big capitalists and major enterprise owners. This fundamentally determines that we have a basis for unity."
Strasser gently guided the conversation, "So we can definitely seek common ground while reserving differences."
"What do you mean by seeking common ground while reserving differences?" Albrecht asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Are these two ideologies not completely incompatible? You want to engage in class struggle and ethnic group struggle at the same time in your country; you have too many enemies to deal with. I don't think this approach can lead to success."
"Who said we have to do it this way?"
Strasser finally revealed his trump card, a theory he brought from the twenty-first century. He believed this theory could help him unite most of the forces of the German proletariat, which he called National Bolshevik Theory.
"According to the current situation in Germany, the two biggest internal contradictions in Germany are: first, the joint oppression of the German people by the Juncker nobility and the bourgeoisie, who hold the military and political power in Germany and disregard the lives of the German people for their own interests. For example, the hyperinflation in November 1923 was caused by the government's excessive printing of paper money," Otto replied.
"Yes, but it didn't mention the fundamental reason, which is that the Juncker bourgeois government serves their own interests, monopolizing most of the country's real estate and manors, including various types of real estate. When Germany needs to repay its war debts, they can unhesitatingly issue paper money to cope with the difficulties, because the value of their movable property is relatively fixed and will not depreciate due to currency devaluation."
"And the German people can't do that," Baron Dezhi also realized.
"Because the wealth of the German people is mainly in the form of movable property and currency, when the currency depreciates, the value of their wealth decreases accordingly. Juncker nobility has plundered the wealth of the German people using this method, which is truly despicable."
"These landlords, nobles, and capitalists should all be sent to concentration camps. It would be well-deserved for these bastards to be shot a hundred times," angrily exclaimed Albrecht, who comes from a working-class family.
"The first contradiction is the class contradiction, so what is the second contradiction?" Otto asked. Strasser was very pleased that his brother was so insightful. "Naturally, it is the Treaty of Versailles. This is the shackles imposed on Germany by the Anglo-French powers, and all of today's difficulties in Germany are more or less related to this treaty."
"If we do not completely overthrow this treaty, then even if we achieve victory in our domestic revolution, Germany will not be able to truly rise again." Strasser was summarizing his final thoughts.
"Now that we understand what the contradictions are, our next goal is to resolve them.
First, we must initiate a proletarian revolution domestically to overthrow the Junker nobility and the bourgeoisie, redistributing land and wealth. Once we have consolidated our domestic power, we will challenge the Treaty of Versailles, which was imposed by the Anglo-French."
"If imperialism attempts to maintain its reactionary rule in Germany, we do not mind using a new world war to overthrow them. In other words, we must engage in class struggle internally and ethnic group struggle externally."
After Strasser finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence, and one could even hear everyone's breathing as they carefully contemplated the ideas presented by Strasser.
"Class struggle internally, ethnic group struggle externally."
Baron Dezhi murmured to himself, "What an innovative theory." He then spoke earnestly, "Mr. Strasser, you are discussing something unprecedented, and I can sense that this is not merely a simple stitching together of two ideologies. This theory has its practical value, and I must say, it seems you have paved a new path."
"Perhaps we should give it a try," said Albrecht, who always enjoyed new and novel things. Strasser's ideas were very much to his taste.
"Then, are you willing to join us in trying this new path?" Strasser extended his hand.
Baron Dezhi looked at Albrecht, who was angrily giving him a hard time, and smiled helplessly. "In fact, from the very beginning, we were willing to cooperate. After all, the party leader is my good brother, so of course I have to listen to him." He placed his hand over Strasser's hand, and Otto and Albrecht followed suit.
"Since our two parties are going to merge, shouldn't we come up with a new name?" Otto asked.
"I have already thought of it. The name of the new party will be National Marxist Deutsche Victory Party (NMDVP), which can be abbreviated as Ethnic Group Labour Party. Once our two parties merge, we will use this name," Strasser had prepared in advance.
"So, for the Germany's A bright future, let's strive together."
"Hail Germany!"
Everyone present shouted in unison.
