The Third Reich in Desperation

Historically, the president of the Weimar Republic, a symbol of democracy, has never been elected purely by popular opinion.

The former Albert, after receiving the support of the Juncker consortium, can be confirmed as the president.

Hindenburg in history was also a president recognized by the Junkers consortium.

All this is no coincidence!

Text Chapter 54 Undercurrent

"What, that group of Jewish consortiums are actually spending money to buy votes!" After hearing that the Childe family paid for votes in many small cities, Gustav's heart sank instantly.

In big cities like Berlin and Munich, it is absolutely unfeasible to pay for tickets.It is strictly regulated and difficult to manipulate.

In a place full of glory, such as the Ruhr Industrial Zone, such shady methods are also difficult to work.

However, in many small cities and villages in Germany, the people do not get the rights they deserve.Some of them voluntarily, some were even coerced, and handed over their votes in exchange for what the consortium called "propaganda funds."

Originally, after the Childe family launched their own presidential candidate.Gustav's team had always expected a three-legged balance of power in the election.In fact, the early self-promotion of the Childe family also confirmed this point.

However, just now, after a call from a member of the Liberal Party who returned home, Gustav and his party discovered that they were completely deceived!

At the last moment, the Childers spent a lot of money to buy votes for their rival Hindenburg.

After hearing the news, Gustav asked three times, "Is there a mistake? Didn't the Childe family buy election votes for Meyer?"

However, the other side of the phone firmly insisted that the Childe family was indeed buying votes for their rival Hindenburg.

Gustav, who was convinced of the news, did not ask any other questions.He just quietly replied to the other end of the phone, "I see." Then, he hung up the phone.

"Everyone who called the campaign team for me, I want to say a few words at the end." The disheartened Gustav said to the slightly fat female secretary outside the office with a painful expression.

Gustav has always been not optimistic about Childe Meyer, the candidate for the Childe Consortium.In Gustav's view, Childe Meyer's biggest campaign capital was the nearly 60 Jewish people in Germany.

Except for these 60 Jews, Childe Meyer did not receive much support among the Germanic people in Germany.

In other words, the previous suppression of the Jews by the Junker class has played a role, and most people in Germany hate the Jews.

It is this kind of suppression from the Junkers class that makes Gustav think that the Childe consortium will choose to stand with him and jointly fight against the Junkers consortium.

However, the Childe consortium can let go more than Gustav imagined.They must have secretly reached some kind of deal with Hindenburg, so they will contribute money to help Hindenburg, the candidate launched by the Junker aristocrat.

The adverse effects of such transactions are enormous.

Yu privately said that the combination of the two major groups has greatly reduced the probability of Gustav's success.Childe Meyer, with only nearly 60 Jewish supporters, was originally the candidate with the lowest approval rating.But if these nearly 60 people switch to vote for Hindenburg, it will be a huge vote that cannot be ignored.

Given the level of Jewish solidarity, it is not impossible to organize such a conversion.

Yu Gong said that the wool comes from the sheep.The capitalists distribute their capital to the people, and they will definitely get back more benefits from the people in the future.The more money they spend to buy votes now, they will find ways to get the people to spit out more capital with interest in the future.

Unfortunately, there is nothing Gustav can do about it.Voting time has ended and the counting of votes will close soon.All dust is doomed.

Now Gustav is standing in his office on the 5th floor of his office building, waiting for the members of his team to arrive for the last regular meeting.

He stood quietly in front of the window with a cigarette in his hand, experiencing the last period of time in the office.After a few days, the entire floor rented for the campaign will be returned.At the same time, all sponsorship of their own campaign funds will stop.

Behind them, members of the Liberal Party gradually gathered and stood silently aside.

From the day Gustav participated in the presidential election, they have been fighting for more than 2 months.As a small and medium-sized party, whether in terms of capital, manpower, or social resources, it cannot compare with the Junkers and Jewish consortiums.It is hard for others to imagine how much hardships the members of the Liberal Party have put in for today.

Although the Krupp family wooed the military industry to provide financial support, the Socialist Workers Party also tried its best to help promote it.However, in the face of this sudden change, Gustav's chances of winning are already very slim.

Germany, after all, is still the world of those plutocrats.For hundreds of years, their tentacles have penetrated into every field.Everything in the country is tightly controlled by them, and the people's choices are modified at will.

Gustav originally thought that he had the opportunity to change the status quo and win a better future for Germany.

For this reason, he will not sleep more than 6 hours tomorrow.Speeches, publicity, events, meetings with delegates, Gustav squeezed out every second of his time.

He is not a man without flaws.He had once fiercely opposed the Republic, and had irrationally supported Garp's riots.

However, the love for this country can be deeply felt by everyone around him.

He is an idealist and an uncompromising fighter!

But now, he can only stay in his office, waiting for a result without hope.

His performance had already come to an end before it even started.

The two female party members who had received Zhang Chengtian couldn't help crying.

They are the secretaries of this team, the witnesses of this history, and the participants of this history...

However, after today, they will keep this time full of passion and hope in the corner of memory and seal it up.

Everyone feels very wronged, everyone's hard work, everyone's sweat and hard work, but they didn't get the chance to be on stage.

The result that everyone has been looking forward to and fighting for for a long time is actually so aggrieved.

Gustav turned his head, looked around the atmosphere, and smiled slightly: "No one is allowed to leave until the results are announced. We have been busy for more than 2 months, and we haven't had a good dinner. I have to invite you to say anything tonight." Have a good meal, everyone."

Seeing that no one answered, Gustav made a small joke, "Last time we just had a longer lunch together, and when we came back, we received a surprise from General Reinhardt. This time, I really don't know what to eat. After the meal, there will be some surprises."

Text Chapter 55 Chief of Police

Gustav walked to the Congress together with several Liberal Party cadres.They didn't take the black Mercedes car given by Zhang Chengtian, and they didn't have members who cheered and hugged each other.It's like taking an after-dinner walk to hear the votes counted by Congress.

When they came to the gate of the Capitol, many people who supported Gustav held up Gustav's name and support slogans, shouted his name loudly, waved at him, and cheered.

Gustav generally smiled and generally waved to supporters in response.

This may be the most glorious time since Gustav entered politics, the end time!

Many people know that this calm and calm man who looks coldly at the nobles of the consortium and bows his head to relieve the people's worries actually does not have much chance of winning.

Even if the public knows that his proposition is correct, even if many people hope that Gustav can be elected president.

However, in this republic established in compromise.The role played by the correctness is far inferior to a sentence of the Junker nobles.

Compared with ordinary people who support Gustav, those media have more influence, those consortiums can influence the wealth of more people, and those officials have more power!

"Gustav..." In the congress hall, Meyer, the candidate of the Child family, showed a playful smile on his face when he saw Gustav walking through the gate.

Under the reporter's flashlight, he shook hands with Gustav and said with a smile, "I never thought that Mr. Gustav would have the courage to come after hearing that kind of news. I really admire you a little bit. "

Gustav's heart sank. It seemed that the news that the Childe family had fallen to Hindenburg was true.

Meyer smiled and waved to reporters who were taking pictures, and said in a voice only he and Gustav could hear: "I let someone get the news. I never planned to run for president in the first place. Field Marshal Hindenburg has always been a target of our support."

Gustav also smiled and waved to the reporters, and replied: "Do you think the Junkers consortium will allow other people to intervene in the distribution of German interests? In the end, you are just pawns used by the Junkers consortium."
