The Father’s in law crew

JOHAN NIKOLAS DIETERMAYER

Life in western Germany in the second half of the 20th century was a discouraging experience. Passing through bankruptcy, divided by warring struggles, the country quickly turned into an economical giant under the auspices of the United States of America, and this period of transformation offered an opportunity for many people living in the shadows, to profit and emerge as the new German economic and political elite. Such a man is Johann Nicolas Dietermayer. Little is known about the past of the middle-aged owner of a weapon-building factory, and his personal life is wrapped in mystery, though rumors linking him to the local underworld and the CIA were always to the forefront. When Babis seduced his young daughter, as opposed to what one would expect, Johan hugged his new groom “warmly” by placing him as head of the factory. After all, when fates offer you the opportunity to become one of the most popular people in the country, and even to open up a career in politics, a man like Johan with his cold, computing mind wouldn’t leave such an opportunity untapped. The marriage of Babis and his young daughter, secured a sharp rise in popularity for Johan. The initial surprise for Johan’s big-heartedness has given way to doubts when, shortly afterwards, he announced his political aspirations, which were quickly fulfilled.

His political star was in a rally race, “displacing” allies and opponents, until his rise to the position of Federal Minister of Defense and Germany’s chief representative placement in OTAN. Rumors have it that during his political marching, he created a personal army of men and women willing to do everything to benefit the great Dietermayer. Many would describe Johan’s life as long and fertile, him as a man of deeds, popular, respected, with a dedicated woman always willing to offer her wise advice to the powerful politician, and two daughters worthy continuators of the Dietermayer name. Nevertheless, there are also many, those behind closed doors, who whisper that Heidi Dietermayer von Drumpf is the real person to whom Johan owes his career. A wife, who has been living for decades in the United States, due to her double nationality, which she acquired when her young husband emerged as a prominent figure in the German business and political scene. Hardly anyone could associate Johan’s’ public folk picture with his ruthless, hegemonic personality. However, those who have worked for him know a single perception that accompanies them in the business: Your results will get you far, but their lack will cause you problem. So, when Johan sends his trusted associates in coverup mission, based on a case due to Cleopatras Kipselis’s haphazard findings, as a result of Babis’s efforts to return to the life of his estranged son, they themselves realize that there are secrets even their boss is not willing to share.
