Reincarnated as Nikolai II - Chapter 268

Chapter 268: The Union of Broken Bones (2)
However, Brüning’s land reform was nothing more than a midsummer night’s dream.

No matter how much the empire collapsed and classes disappeared.

No matter how much the military was weakened and reduced according to treaty.

In the end, the establishment doesn’t change.

And when even the establishment turned its back on Brüning, who was already unpopular with the people, the result was.

“Absolutely not! Our Nazi Party expresses opposition to all of Brüning’s policies!”

“It’s not even a Presidential decree? Huh? Now you’ve been abandoned by Hindenburg too?”

“Our Center Party and Social Democratic Party also find it difficult to support your policies anymore. Even as Prime Minister, you should have used presidential authority moderately.”

It was utterly miserable.

Difficult reforms attempted during difficult times.

‘…Damn it.’

Could such a thing be realistically possible in a republican society?

==

Who holds unlimited power in a country?

The king? Is it the king?

Is George V of the British Empire, who is said to rule 30% of the world’s territory, a true power holder?

Or is it the dictator?

Are dictators who have seized heavy authority the true power holders amid the proliferation of dictators worldwide?

“No, those born with such luck cannot be called power holders.”

Bloodline is merely an inheritance, not ability.

They live sitting down, noble from birth, without achieving anything.

Similarly, military dictators can dominate but cannot be rulers.

Because the state and the people may temporarily be defeated by the muzzle of a gun, but they will not recognize their legitimacy.

“In that sense, Mussolini is truly unfortunate. Despite having the king’s approval, he ultimately seized power through a coup. He chose a path to make himself incomplete.”

While respecting Il Duce’s will and acknowledging him, Adolf felt all the more regretful about him.

Military, capitalists, right-wing. He even gained the support of the people, but he was incomplete from the start.

Meaning his past was not complete.

This incompleteness might be okay now, but in times of crisis, it will become a weakness that bites Mussolini.

A legitimate and unlimited power holder, a complete leader.

Adolf thought that empire over there showed the answer to this.

“Ultimately the Tsar. The Tsar is close to a complete being.”

Legitimacy obtained through imperial bloodline.

Endless proof of ability.

Overwhelming public support and power that seems impossible to delegate.

Perfect.

No matter how many past and foreign examples are searched, there cannot exist a more perfect form of power.

Moreover, Adolf wanted to applaud the fact that it exists in the form of a human being, not bound by institutions.

“Party Leader, the Free Corps bastards keep checking our Stormtroopers. It seems the rumors about Brüning’s fall are real. Shouldn’t we show our strength at times like this?”

“Hermann, do you know why I separated from the Strasser brothers in ’26?”

Despite Stormtrooper leader Hermann advocating a hardline response with an excited voice at rumors of Brüning’s crisis, Adolf leisurely didn’t let go of his Sanka coffee.

“The Strasser brothers showed a tendency to make themselves incomplete. They destroyed legitimacy, ignored social norms, and ultimately tried to create weaknesses. I don’t mind them being extreme, but I couldn’t tolerate them trying to make me incomplete.”

The older Strasser eventually repented his mistake and surrendered, but the younger Strasser turned to left-wing National Bolshevism until the end.

“I must be complete. Göring, the same goes for you. Schleicher seems likely to become the next Prime Minister, so accept his coalition proposal? What remains if you deceive yourself like that? Momentary power? Cabinet entry?”

Rising slowly from his seat and putting his hands behind his back, Adolf’s leisurely demeanor instantly changed to dignity.

“No. This is merely acknowledging that Nazism is also incomplete. An error, and the moment we acknowledge it, we too will be recorded as an error within this republic.”

That this country is temporarily having a hard time making a living, that’s okay. Because someday we can raise it up.

Similarly, it’s acceptable that the Social Democratic Party, National People’s Party, Center Party, Communist Party, People’s Party, Democratic Party… and other miscellaneous parties occupy some seats.

After all, the Nazi Party will seize power through the legal choice of the people.

However.

Becoming incomplete.

Ah, this was absolutely unacceptable from Adolf’s perspective.

“If even a drop of poison enters a water bottle, you get sick if you drink it. You should throw it away immediately.”

“We seem to have interpreted the Party Leader’s will as we pleased! Please forgive us! Heil Hitler!”

“Heil Hitler!”

At the sight of everyone chanting his name even at a light reprimand, Adolf nodded as if satisfied.

“It’s alright. I can forgive everything.”

Although it was vexing that they judged on their own, Hitler sincerely forgave them.

“Because only I need to be complete.”

In other words, the human wielding that unlimited power only needs to be one.

His process of seizing power must be legal and legitimate.

But that doesn’t mean he is placed below the republic.

He’s not of royal blood, but once in power, he can change the law as much as needed to recreate legitimacy.

That’s the only use of this Nazi Party.

Nothing more, nothing less.

“Both of you, never doubt, judge recklessly, or act on your own again.”

So Adolf thought one stern warning was enough.

What people commonly call Nazism.

It’s a bit different from the spirit of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, the Nazi Party.

Nationalism, socialism, workers.

This means that the party name, which reveals ideology by combining such words, is not everything.

Rather, Hitler created this Nazism from the beginning aimed at just one thing.

It is Nicholas II himself, who has become the complete form of Tsarism in Russia.

‘I too will become that. Because only I can do it!’

If the compass is clear, the ship will reach its destination whether slow or fast.

Just as Vladimir “Lenin” did, many who see that Tsar had to eventually acknowledge.

His necessity to rule.

His value of existence.

His legitimacy.

So Adolf, himself, will also become a Tsar with this Nazism.

This is evolution. This is a leap.

Yes, this is destiny.
