As most of the world was expected to spend their income into growing their armed forces and standing armies, the German government came to the conclution of investing on the state instead.
The Idea was not Hans von Seeckt's, but as usual took much of the credit. In a ceremony in Saxony he sat in a long table in one of the many farms. As usual he had his bodyguards closeby and even closer somewhat a dozen newsmen that worte down on their pads for information for tomorows newspapers. Hans von Seeckt and the Minister of Agriculture shook hands and smiled as cameras took pictures of the event. Then he sat down and posed again with his pen for the periodists. He then signed a check from the DeuchesBank for 120,000,000 Rechsmarks (12 Spending points).
This program was state funded and would help the farmers and crop growers of Germany. The Results of it would be seen in the next quarter of the year, for this financial quarter had spent heavily in it.
Hans von Seeckt then left to one of his many private homes. He rode on a Mercedes Benz, the newest and most luxurious model. Ofcourse it was also custom made and said to be bullet prof, but never tested. He was late, but it didnt matter to him, he was only late for his portrait. He had hired a famous Austrian painter, every powerful man in the german speaking world simply had to have his image painted by this man that fought in the first world war and whose strange ideas were mostly ignored. Hitler took his paints and started painting Hans von Seeckt in his uniform full of regalia and medals.
Well, you dont deserve most of thos medals von Seeckt, why are you wearing them?. A figure appeared in the room. Leave us alone, General von dunkelheit said. The painter put down his tools and went right outside the room.
You always have your face in the newspapers, smiling and kissing babies. But we know what you are von Seeckt, and your time has run out.
Hans von Seeckt looked at him but kept quiet. 60,000 reichsmarks for this place here, money that came from the state? yes, it was one of the several accounts you created to make yourself the rich man you are now. But to be frank the Prussian Junta doesnt care, however they are strongly behind me, those reforms and national attitude were ours, you just happened to be in the headlines taking credit. Good painting, von Dunkelheit looked at the painting, i never liked that modernist crap. Oh, there is also one thing, Hans von Seeckt, we all know of your homosexual relations with teenage boys....
von Seeckt turned to stone. Ofcourse is not illegal in our Germany, we are not the United States!. Altough i admit our mostly conservative population would find it unpalatable. Specially since a few of them are found dead... dead after they attempt to tell the world of your wonderful relationship.
WHAT DO YOU WANT!? MONEY?!, i can get you unlimited money!.
No von Seeckt! unlimited money can only get you limited power... but unlimited power can get you unlimited money. And even then excessive wealth is not something i need nor want.
Hans von Seeckt began to shake, he was a veteran of the army, having over fifty years old.
Oh, good old comrade, i wont tell, i just wanted you to know that you shouldnt be so careless. We should eliminate those Prussian Junta generals that know of this. What do you say and we shake hands like good old days?
Hans von Seeckt stood up and smiled, yeah!, i know those gen...
von Dunkelheit took his hand and with the other one drove a dagger into stomach of von Seeckt.
No Hans von Seeckt, those generals are loyal and brilliant....
Hans von Seeckt called his guards but there were none. Only the lonely painter outside. von Dunkelheit opened the door, Hitler! Hitler!, they have killed the leader of our nation!. hitler went and took at look at the corpse. von Dunkelheit took his Lugger out and shot Hitler the painter.
As guards eventually came, von Dunkelheit came too late to stop the crazy Hitler whose ideas wanted a different germany than that of Hans von Seeckt. So mad was he that he had killed him with a dagger he had hidden among his paintings. von Dunkelheit had been to late to stop the assasination. And that story was mass printed in the newspapers of Germany and the world. A few days later von Dunkelheit was declared Leader of Germany by the Prussian Junta....
