Chapter 16: Chapter 15 A promising future

Munich Hotel, Germany

November 14th, 1909

[Adolf Hitler's POV]

I have always wondered where I'd end up if it weren't for Erika and the Society. Before I was a poor man, just barely scraping off Krones in Vienna and struggling to survive as I didn't have time to have worldly pleasures as I was worried if I would survive the day or not.

I was even lucky if I even got money at all from selling my paintings. But thanks to the encounter, my life has changed for the better.

I now have a multiple owned business now in Austria that specializes in making futures. He even owned multiple properties now in Austria and 2 on German Soil, which made me happy that I got to achieve basically everything thanks to the society and especially Erika herself.

All they wanted from me was just to return the equal value for the society.

Hence I became the spokesperson and representative of the society, with 3 stars on my tattoo, symbolizing how far I've come, I had the authority to order some changes within Austria for the future of the society and the Austrian people itself.

I was also ordered to establish fake companies that would just be the front that would eventually become the spy network within Austria and to gather more intelligence within Austria itself.

However I was having a hard time establishing one in the Hungarian territory because of the hatred that stems between Austrians and Hungarians and even the Slavs to this day. Which worried me as Erika said they'll be a great war as he quoted from Bismarck that it will start from the Balkans.

At this point, I was disgusted at the thought of the Balkans existing as it's always the bane of Europe and always will be as Europe will have to always clean it up every few decades or so which isn't an exaggeration as it's shown in history.

He let his disgust down for the slavs as he is in a hurry to complete what Erika ordered, which is to fully establish the spy network to plant some spies in the Austrian army to entice some of the soldiers to join Germany which promises that they can keep, but some promises that they can't also keep to manipulate and eventually flood the Austrian people with enough propaganda, that they'll change their minds on it.

Another reason why he was a representative, is that he wanted to impress a girl she was dating named Eva Braun. Eva and I fell in love after a few years of seeing each other and I promised to marry her next year as I wanted kids for myself and left a legacy that my kids and my wife would be proud of.

I didn't want to also leave the world empty handed as I wanted to leave a work like many artists before me that inspired many people.

As I was working on a new project to connect Austrian roads to the Autobahn project of Germany, a knock was heard at my door as I answered with a tired voice as I didn't sleep that much as I stayed all all night and only slept for 3 hours because of the tight deadline that Erika gave me which was only a year.

Which the expected completion would be narrow and no time must be spared as he answered someone at the door "Come in"

I was surprised to see August greeted him after a couple of months of not seeing each other and I smiled as I shaked my head to greet August back.

August spoke with a carefree tone "I see you've been busy, you're also gonna prepare for the next year then?" August teased

I laughed and set aside my document and said "Probably or maybe as soon as you can see, you and I are both very busy completing projects left and right. I'm surprised we haven't even passed out yet."

August snickered and replied jokingly "Were built tough. Plus this would benefit Austria in the long run don't you think?" 

"Mhm. You're right on that one august. I mean, imagine all this august…one moment, we're surviving, and the next, we're living our lives now. All thanks to the Saintess." I sighed as I glanced at the old picture of my parents, and right beside it was my soon to be wife Eva. I smiled at the thought of me teasing her when we get home.

August just Shaked his head on how I was so lovestruck and snapped me out of it. "Stop ogling your girlfriend's picture as we need to finish the set up here in Austria for now as we were tasked to move further south to find reliable people to get in touch with Italy."

"Italy? Why there?" I asked, curious on what August's plans were as I sat down on the chair and stared at him.

"Because the Saintess pissed off the Italian Monarch and its Prime minister from what I've heard. It's even in the Italian newspaper." August said, as he slides the newspaper on the table and pointed at the article.

"See this? They weren't too happy from the looks of it as they're saying that the German empire is pushing its luck and threatening the Italian colony."

I looked at him, surprised and thought it was a ridiculous and stupid statement to make to the media before he stopped to think for a moment before realizing what the implication of that meant as he rubbed his temples once again. 

"Fucking Italians. They're likely gonna attack Tripolitania fairly soon. I pity them, but I hope it doesn't lead to that moment since the Saintess's plans is not done yet.

August nodded as he spoke "Indeed. I was ordered to establish a spy network in Italy as soon as possible and get in touch with the Italian High Command and it's Navy."

"It won't be easy" I said, as I knew how prideful and arrogant the Italians are and worried for August's safety.

"Don't worry. I'll watch myself out there. Plus I've always wanted to try their famous pasta and pizza. I'll send you some souvenirs for your wedding" August said, laughing it off as I threw a paper all in his direction and laughed as well.

"What about France and Britain though?" I asked.

August stopped laughing and pondered for a moment before telling me "The Saintess already has that planned, don't worry. It won't be an easy journey, but once we have all the pieces in place, intelligence and even the enemy movements will be shown to us like a wrapped Christmas present."

I nodded at the analogy somewhat as I glanced at my watch and stood up.

"Let's go, we'll be late for the opening of another factory on Graz." I said as I ushered my friend who quickly followed suit.

"Oh damn I forgot. Guess that's the disadvantage of being so busy huh? We're slowly being forgetful! Hah!" August laughed as glanced down for a moment to momentarily stop at the steps as passerbys just passed him.

I stopped to look at my friend and was curious as to why he stopped.

"Adolf…will the great war really happen?" August said, which made me think for a while before replying as the best as I could.

"Yes, August. With how tensions in Europe are, and the predictions of the Saintess were spot on, I'm pretty sure war is near. We can't do anything to prevent it. That's why we, you and I, the society, and the Saintess are doing all this to prevent more bloodshed and advance both Austria and Germany to be able to have better terms if we do lose as the Saintess predicted. Since from her words, if we do lose, we will lose everything we have. And you can imagine the horror, chaos, and anarchy that will happen in both of our nations." I said solemnly and with conviction.

"Then I'll try my damndest best to prevent that from happening." I guess why the Saintess has built underground bunkers to store our weapons for future use…August thought

August snapped out of it and just said "Let's go, or we'll be late."

I followed behind him and smiled as I changed my friend for the better. For me, I too, want to prevent that. But if I want to save my country and Germany I will have to make sacrifices even if it means doing the necessary evil for it

Long Live the Saintess. May her rule reign forever. He thought in his mind as he and August got into the car and drove off to Graz.

Meanwhile, in the South of the United States of America.

Charleston, South Carolina, USA

December 10th, 1909

[3rd Person POV]

James King was a young boy who dreamt of a freedom as america at least for him and his race weren't too kind as they were treated as if they're slaves or worse, just dust in the wind.

Jame's father fought to keep James alive throughout the blatant and indiscriminate racism that's getting violent by the day.

James was furious on why America was like this when they're free and are given rights to become an American citizen like the rest of the people who fought in the civil war.

But James knew it was impossible as there were no black rights even today.

Hence his father sought to found a movement to fight for it, and many blacks immediately joined and fought for it for almost a decade until an assassination attempt forced them underground and nearly killed his father.

James knew at that moment, when he saw his father fall in front of his eyes, thinking he was dead, he didn't want to live here anymore.

So he sought to try to move to Europe, specifically the only place that he heard the faintest rumor that they might tolerate his race were the Germans.

He knew he couldn't go to the British since he'll just die there within a week, same with the French and any other countries for the matter.

Hence Germany was his safest bet and told his parents of his idea.

At first, they vehemently refused. But after a few talks and convincing arguments, James was able to convince his family along with some of the black community to go to Germany and start a new life there.

Thankfully, they knew someone who could help them to go to Germany which was a man called Friedrich. He was an…odd man safe to say, but he didn't discriminate us, nor call us racial slurs and respected us even though we were of different colored skin.

And that was enough for me and my parents to set up a time, place, and how to escape the suffocating life of America.

After many talks and discussions, the date was set to be in 1912, and 3 ships would arrive in the port of Charleston to accommodate the first 600 Black Americans. 

This was all done in secrecy as segregation was still ongoing within America as Theodores term was almost ending and the new candidate that would most likely win was Taft as Friedrich muttered in his breath as he left the house of James.

"I wish you all luck in Germany once you arrive. And I hope you have a wonderful stay. And merry Christmas." Friedrich spoke in an English German accent and left the premises.

After that, many more from the black community from South Carolina also wanted to get a ticket and leave as most of them couldn't handle the discrimination, and with no rights, and even some of them who fought in the civil war felt that America has lost its freedom.

Which is Erika's aim, as the more America loses, the more benefits Germany will have in the future.

Erika even has a new town set up near the Mecklenburg border for the black community and finally convinced most of the nobles and Members of the Reichstag to leave the town alone as it is her business on what she does there and no one should interfere at all.

Many future historians would argue that this was the start of a big migration movement for the black people to Europe and America had lost 16% of it's people. Mostly blacks and fair skinned people as America was becoming more of an elitist and a dystopian country as the years drag on.

Even the black community in Germany today, even stated that if it weren't for the Saintess, they would have had a harsh life as they saw what happened to the blacks left in america as they were still being ostracized and hated which made them thanked their grandpa's and grandma's that they moved to Germany and settled down.

There's even a documentary that documented a Town, now a small city that the Saintess named Ursprung City, which the population consisted of 70% blacks that speak fluent German, English, polish, and even Slavic languages. Which surprised some people.

Hence why the future will always be unpredictable and the changes that the Saintess or Erika did is a legend in everyone's eyes as in the future she was even worshiped as a cult.

But that's another story to cover for another time…
