Nathanael, from ter geions, erson of noble heart. Though he dared not help the old woman who had fallen to the ground, he always took care not to harm the flowers and pnts, and was known for his willio assist his sates. However, those days of apparent calm were long gone. Now, Nathanael's mind was dominated by the violend brutality of war.

  In times of peace, anyone appear to be a good citizen, but in times of war, everything boils down to who is the most ruthless. With the memories of two lives fused in his mind, Alex acted without hesitation. Every move, every decision, seemed t from a primal and brutal instinct.

  His ret as had left Karl on the verge of colpse. As a member of the upper css, being humiliated in such a manner was an indelible stain on his honor. But Alex did not stop there: not only did he threaten Karl, but he also extended his warning to Karl's entire family.

  What kind of men made up Hitler's stormtroopers? They were ruffians, thugs, and sdrels, capable of any atrocity. There were no limits to their cruelty.

  "Crash!"

  A sudden sound broke the silence, followed by a ing stench that flooded the room. Karl, the unfortuarget of Alex, had lost trol of himself. Fear had pletely paralyzed him.

  Alex moved the on away from the trembling Karl and aimed it at Losov, who stood oher side of the room. When their eyes met, Losov felt a chill run down his spi that moment, Alex was nothing but a demon straight out of hell.

  "Enough, Alex, you've gooo far," Hitler's voice echoed through the room. As a ing strategist, Hitler knew when to interveo turuation to his advantage.

  In this sario, Alex was the vilin, while Hitler assumed the role of mediator: "They are all our distinguished guests. How could you do such a thing?"

  "I'm sorry," Alex replied coldly, with no trace of remorse in his voice. His fierce gaze locked onto Losov, who couldn't help but shudder again.

  "Mr. Karl," Hitler crouched in front of the man lying on the floor, reduced to a puddle of misery, "Do you insist on maintaining your stance?"

  Hitler's eyes gleamed with a disturbing fanaticism. One of his hands rested near his waist, where he cealed a on.

  "Fine, I accept your request," Karl murmured, defeated.

  "Mr. Karl, thank you for your support!" Hitler excimed, his heart pounding with excitement. He could already picture himself leading his rebel troops to Berlin, ready to seize power.

  "Losov, Seisser, what about you?" Hitler turo the other two men, who exged nervous gnces.

  "We have no objes," they replied in unison, aware that opposing him would mean fag the same fate as Karl.

  "These men are insane!" Losov thought. If I don't agree, I'll end up like Karl. And Alex . . . that man is capable of killing without hesitation.

  For now, the best course of a was to yield. But this wasn't over. As soon as they left that pce, they would head to Berlin to mobilize troops and crush the rebellion.

  "Excellent news! I 't wait to annou to everyoside," Hitler said, rising with enthusiasm.

  "Boss, these three should apany you," Alex interjected suddenly.

  At that time, Hitler was not yet the leader of Germany, but merely the president of the Workers' Party. His followers called him "The Boss."

  G?ring couldn't help but stare at Alex. What was Hitler pnning now? Was it Alex's turn to give orders?

  However, Hitler nodded in approval and said, "Very well, Alex. Apany me."

  Hitler was so excited that he almost fot a crucial detail: if he went out aloo make the annou, it would ck weight. But if Karl, Losov, and Seisser apanied him, the message would carry far more impact.

  However, the stench emanating from Karl made Hitler cover his nose in disgust. "Mr. Karl, perhaps it would be better if you stayed here," he said disdainfully.

  Karl breathed a sigh of relief. He had been unlucky, but now fortune was smiling upon him. If he went out and, under pressure, announced his support for Hitler's ideas, he would be betraying the Gover. Moreover, he had no faith in Hitler. How could a mere agitator succeed?

  Lossow, ander of the German Defense Forces in Bavaria, and Seisser, head of the state police, both held high positions of power. Now, face to face, they looked at each other and saw the same determination reflected in their eyes.

  What should they do? If Hitler himself had announced his pns in advahey could have avoided any responsibility. But now, if they went out to publicly support Hitler and verbally admitted their bag for an atta Berlin, there would be n back. The stain on their names would be indelible!

  "The only way is to loudly denouler's crimes when we go out!" Lossow murmured, his voice firm but restrained. "We will call on everyoo rise iance! If Hitler dares to start a massacre here, he will earn the enmity of the entire upper unich."

  "Do not try to deceive us, you two!" a cold, cutting voiterrupted their thoughts.

  Both men turned sharply. Behind them, the barrels of MP-18s were already aimed at their backs, wielded by men with impassive faces.

  "Otherwise, your fate will be a huimes worse than Karl's!"

  The two meheir breath. There was no escape. The time travelers had arrived to ge the course of history, and now they were trapped in their game. In the historic Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler's first mistake had been failing to win the support of the Bavarian generals. But this time, things were different.

  Alex, a ruthless and calg man, had ehe se. Uler's followers, who at the time seemed almost naive in their methods, Alex did not hesitate to resort to the most extreme violence. Killing anyone who stood in his way! That was his philosophy! And now, following Karl's example, both Lossow and Seisser found themselves dragged doath of urn.

  "Alex is a monster!" Lossow thought, feeling a chill run down his spine. "If he betrays us, he will not only kill us but also our families."

  At that moment, the doors of the hall swung open. Adolf Hitler entered with a firm step, his face lit with a mix of excitement aermination. Before him, the room acked with Bavarian celebrities, expet and nervous.

  "Gentlemen!" Hitler shouted, raising his voice above the murmur. "Mr. von Karl, General Lossow, and Mr. Seisser have agreed to form a new German gover with me! The Bavarian et has resigned! From today, Bavaria will be governed by a regent and a cellor with dictatorial powers."

  He paused dramatically, letting his words resonate in the room.

  "I propose that Herr von Karl be the regent, and I, the cellor. The Criminal Gover of November and the German President have been dismissed! Today, in Munich, a new National Gover is born!"

  Hitler's eyes shoh a mix of triumph and fanaticism.

  "At this moment, Mr. von Karl is discussing the march to Berlin with General Ludendorff!" he tinued, pointing toward Lossow and Seisser. "General Lossow, Mr. Seisser, join me in announg this o the world!"

  Lossow and Seisser exged a fleeting ghey khey had no choice. Alex was behind them, watg their every move, and the sequences of disobedience would be catastrophic. With a knot ihroats, they nodded slowly.

  "History will remember this day!" Seisser murmured, almost to himself, as he joined Hitler oage.
