The Third Reich in Desperation

Third Reich Episode 23

As soon as Albert's words came out, there was an uproar immediately.A total of 300 seats were added.This will be a major blow to the current balance of power in the Congress. The Social Democratic Party, which holds the largest number of parliamentary seats, will fall to second place with a difference of 53 seats.

In the face of Albert suddenly coming up with this hugely influential bill that touches the vested interests of major parties.No matter how calm people are, they can't help but cry out in surprise.

"There's never been a precedent for such a thing, it's totally unreasonable," roared a tall, lanky man with a monocle and a member of the Bolshevik Party, the second-largest parliamentary seat.

"I protest that this is a destabilization of Congress."

"I also protest, this is a joke..."

Members of the major parties protested one after another, and their voices of dissatisfaction far overwhelmed the speaker's weak "silent" voice.

"Mr. President, I don't think you have the right to increase the number of seats in Congress without permission. You don't even have the right to add this unknown rubbish party to Congress, let alone give them seats." After the members of the House of Representatives gradually quieted down, a social democrat The old MP spoke slowly.

His voice was not loud, but it hit the nail on the head.That's right, Albert doesn't have this right!

The old congressman continued to joke: "If your Excellency needs it, you can use your power to entrust the filing of the case. However, whether the filing can be passed depends on the results of the vote."

Speaking of this, almost all the congressmen present understood.It is impossible for Albert's proposal to be passed. At least for now, the decision-making power is still in the hands of the largest party, the Social Democratic Party, and the second largest party, the Bolshevik Party.The members of the two political parties have just expressed their attitudes.

An independent MP sighed.In fact, he has a lot of contempt for what the two major parties are doing.Whether the Socialist Workers Party is an unknown party or not, everyone knows it well.They don't know how the great victory that the whole country celebrated a while ago came about?It is nothing more than for its own benefit.

The current Congress has long since lost its original intention of "for the German people".

Look at those sanctimonious congressmen in the Congress, they occasionally take advantage of the influence of their parents, legal gaps, and human beauty; they are crazily amassing money, forming cliques for personal gain, being cruel and treacherous, and even collaborating with enemies and traitors!

As a non-partisan congressman who is unwilling to join forces with him, he very much agrees with President Abbott to introduce a clean stream like the Socialist Workers Party to Congress.But Albert's appetite is too great. If he can properly reduce the request for additional seats, maybe he can barely pass.As it is now, it is absolutely impossible to touch the core interests of the two major parties as soon as it comes up!

Didn't Albert know that this would cause a strong reaction?

Of course he knew, as an old fritter who had spent his whole life in politics.Albert knows too well the nature of those who have vested interests.But he can't help it, he has no time to slowly change the status quo!

Living against death, Albert wants to remove the cancer in Congress by scraping the bones to cure the poison!

In today's Germany, too much needs to be done.Albert believes that he has no time to gradually reform, and he doesn't even know if his body can last until the end of his term.

What he has to do now is to do everything possible to bring the Socialist Workers Party to power.The next reforms will be carried out by this emerging political party.

Abbott is not sure that the Socialist Workers Party can overhaul the status quo that even he himself has been unable to change.But he is willing to believe in Zhang Chengtian, who leads this political party, in this young man who once clearly analyzed the current situation in Germany to himself in Stuttgart and accurately predicted the future.

At that time, Zhang Chengtian was just a little captain.If it weren't for his accurate prediction of the time of Kapp's coup d'état and the government's escape route, and then meeting the government-in-exile in Stuttgart in advance, Albert, who was then president, would have never been able to talk to this young man.

Ignoring the noise of the congressmen, Albert happily thought that he might be kicking off a legend.

Text Chapter 38 The Sinner

As the chairman of the German Peasants and Labor Party, the 35-year-old Hans von Furmanreid is not the same as the members of the two major parties.

Hans did not rely on political means to be able to sit on the position of chairman of the German Peasant and Labor Party.The reason why the young Hans was elected chairman is entirely due to his integrity and excellent organizational skills.

At this time, Hans was exchanging his "experience" with one of his good friends, Werther Lee Dawles, who was arranged next to the German Peasants and Workers Party and belonged to the non-partisan parliamentarian.

I saw Hans pretending to be surprised and said: "The two major congressional parties turned a deaf ear to the Ruhr victory that just happened not long ago. They really don't know that the Socialist Workers Party, which they call an unknown party, is in How famous is it among the people?"

Werther sneered and said, "Come on, with your Hans' shrewdness, you won't be able to see it? Where do others need to tell the truth, as long as they believe it, isn't it always the truth?"

Hans pretended to be suddenly enlightened, clapped his hands and shouted: "Awesome, no wonder they are the first and second big parties. It turns out that they all rely on this ability to reverse black and white. It seems that in some respects we are indeed better than Not on others."

The conversation between Hans and Werther aroused laughter from the surrounding congressmen.Those sitting here are all members of the German Peasant Workers Party and non-party parliamentarians.None of them could influence the status quo, so Hans' ridicule at this moment resonated with them unanimously.

Werther, who had no sense of humor, smiled wryly.When everyone gradually finished laughing, Witte said solemnly: "Actually, I have long wanted to withdraw from this seat. Today's incident made me understand one thing. No matter what our opinions are, the Congress controlled by the two major political parties will Wouldn't care. Rather than staying in this disgusting place to make wedding dresses for two major political parties, it would be better to leave sooner."

Hans stood up, walked to Werther, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said lightly, "Good friend, I will accompany you."

Hans, who was always humorous, had a serious expression on his face when he said this.

Just 6 German words gave Werther a new understanding of his normally hippie smiling friend.

Unlike Witte, as the chairman of the German Peasant Workers Party, Hans' withdrawal has a great impact.Among other things, Hans had to conduct a profound review of the party.Even so, it is estimated that Hans' chairman position will still be lost.

Stopped Werther who wanted to persuade, Hans smiled and said: "This is not my personal opinion."

Behind Hans, a full 37 members of the German Peasants and Workers Party stood up one after another, "Yes, we joined the Congress 'for the German people', and now we are withdrawing from a Congress that only serves the two major political parties. Voluntarily withdraw with the Chairman."

Behind Witte, more than 20 non-partisan congressmen also stood up at some point and said: "We have nothing to miss in this kind of Congress!" of!"

As if they didn't see the commotion here, the members of the Social Democratic Party continued to chatter: "Leaving aside, the reason why the League of Nations helped Germany mediate is mainly because Germany has a parliament that represents reason. The League of Nations believes that the German parliament is fair and selfless. Trustworthy. The League of Nations believes that the German Parliament will urge the government to deal with emergencies rationally."

Accompanied by the hands of the Social Democratic Party and the Bolshevik Party, Hans and his party got up angrily: "What kind of shit is impartial, the Congress is almost becoming a private coordination meeting of the two major political parties."

"Bastards, let's quit. This kind of rubbish congressman, whoever likes it." Werther, who has always been gentle and civilized, suddenly exploded loudly.This surprised many who knew Werther...

Seeing this unexpected situation, the first reaction of many congressmen from the two major parties was not shame, but a sneer of complacency on the corners of their mouths.

Someone wants to resign from the seat?The two major parties couldn't wish for it!Those who don't cooperate are better off opting out until only MPs from the two major parties remain, plus a few MPs who are friendly with the two major parties.

Suddenly, the smiles on the faces of several social democratic members who reacted quickly became stiff when they glanced at the gate.

One by one, soldiers with G98 Mauser rifles poured through the gate and surrounded the entire Congress Hall.

The members of parliament quickly recognized their ugly gray uniforms - the uniforms of the German Wehrmacht!

Wei Kes, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party, and Bruce, the chairman of the Bolshevik Party, these two powerful figures on weekdays, turned pale in an instant.

They felt that things were going in the most unlikely direction they thought possible.

The reporter's camera was demanded by a colonel of the Wehrmacht with a loud voice.

Then, without waiting for the reporters to react, a group of Wehrmacht soldiers held up their black muzzles and confiscated the cameras in everyone's hands one by one.

All cameras had their film removed, except for a few reporters from The Social Worker.

These reporters representing the Gestapo quickly spread out and adjusted their angles, aiming the camera at President Albert in the center of the hall.

The old man standing in the middle of the hall was still standing there quietly as before.

But at that moment, no one dared to despise him like before!

"I declare that the Weimar Republic has entered a state of emergency and military control will be implemented. Anyone who disobeys the order will be regarded as treason. At the same time, the German Parliament will be dissolved. The functions of the parliament will be performed by the interim parliament formed by the Socialist Workers Party."

After Albert finished speaking this unbelievably short passage, he turned and left calmly.

Before leaving, the old man left a faint sentence: "There is no reason."

Hans and Werther, who had already left the meeting, were very fortunate that they almost missed this dramatic scene reversal.

The members of the two major parties, who thought everything was under control, lost a trace of color on their faces, and they were completely different from the faces they had 10 minutes ago.

As for the congressmen who had just left angrily, they received an invitation from the head of the social worker newspaper to stand outside the "encirclement" of the National Defense Forces and appreciate the continued "performance" of congressmen from the two major parties in the encirclement.
