He don't want to be like the German nobility and the German officer's community of the old traditions?
Inert people! Those, who has lost understanding of reality.
Some of them even announced the idea, relying on the army, invite the Emperor to Germany, and without any democratic procedures to restore Emperor's power?!
Such way will obviously lead to the new internal conflicts, to the new victims. Lawful constitutional - democratic! - ways are necessary.
Hindenburg has sighed. He have remembered the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, advance of army to the East, good payment - remuneration in favor of Germany. Feeling of a victory. Admiration of the people.
Let this French captain prepare! This Daladier!
To you, the young and perspective Francisco Franco, the place among nice commanders will be found.
You will not be able to exercise, to play sports under your orange trees, not knowing the smell of the Central European meat grinders!
The usage will be found for the German officers and the German nobility too! You will not dance waltzes on the imperial holidays. These Austrian manners of Metternich need to be forgotten.
It is clear, that the Emperor - if returns to Germany - will be calm and peaceful.
The new ideas are necessary! New, unexpected, nonconventional decisions! And they are existing! And we will renew our glory, glory of victories on East front!
Hindenburg has collected the strength, has got up, has approached a wall, has removed the Emperor's portrait. He have found for a portrait the place between a wall and one of book-cases.
He have pressed the call button. The secretary has come.
– Invite the politicians, expecting in reception-room!

LXVI. The Tale of new adventures of the Gogol's Nose (2nd Series)
There has come evening. Has darkened. Gorky has decided to see the websites on the Internet.
His attention was drawn by news: The French yachtsman Fran;ois Gabart has set a new around the world sailing record single-handed on the trimaran.
"What? Gabart has surpassed a record of Thomas Coville?" - Gorky has thought.
– "42 days?"
But at this moment he has seen information: the reusable cargo spacecraft Dragon fulfilled successful rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS).
.
"Dragon, Dragon ..." - has thought Gorky.
"Events.
– And new, new events" - Gorky has noted for himself.
There was a wish to sigh fresh air.
Gorky has approached a window. Outside the window there was a darkness. He has knocked with a finger on glass. From outer side of a window nobody and nothing appeared.
"Who protects himself - those is been protected" - Gorky has thought. He has departed from a window to the computer and has again looked at the screen.
"Western and Central Europe and North America is Athens. And Russia - is Sparta". This thought has seemed to Gorky interesting.
"Greeks are our ancestors", - Gorky has remembered Heinrich Schliemann's words.
Gorky, absorbed by reflections, imperceptibly for himself has approached a window and, having slightly slightly opened it, left a window in the airing mode.
