Resurgence: World War II Chapter 483 Sworn In

After the review, Albert came to the center of the Imperial Square, and Hindenburg replaced the president and delivered a speech to the army generals who came to attend the presidential inauguration: "Guardian Gate of Germany, you are here for the first time to accept the President of the Weimar Republic." You are a review of the people of the Republic, and you represent a good idea. For tens of millions of people in Germany, we know that physical labor will no longer be a sign that distinguishes people from each other. On the contrary , he will connect us closely together, and more importantly, in Germany, there will no longer be manual laborers being discriminated against by others. In the future, the whole country will need to receive training like yours. You need to know , today you appear not only before the thousands of guests who have come here, but before the whole of Germany. As you honorably serve the Reich, the whole country looks at you with pride and joy, my dear children We! Long live Germany! Long live the people of the Weimar Republic!"

The generals and soldiers were all infected by Hindenburg's inflammatory words, and they all saluted him to show their allegiance.

From Hindenburg's proud expression and exaggerated demeanor, Guan Xuqing could see that Hindenburg actually regarded Albert's inauguration ceremony as his own inauguration ceremony, and he was enjoying the worship of the Germans and the attention of the world look!

What follows is today's highlight, the presidential swearing-in ceremony.The presidential swearing-in ceremony is held in the lobby on the fourth floor.Although it is not as large as the Palace of Versailles in France and Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the construction area as large as a football field looks very spacious.The hall is decorated with precious white walnut wood, which looks unusually graceful and luxurious.To the south of the hall is a very large floor-to-ceiling window, and two paintings hang on both sides of the window.One is a full-body portrait of the great Prussian emperor Ferrett II, while the other is the scene of the German emperor Wilhelm I ascending the German throne in Versailles.Directly opposite the window is a small shrine in which a golden cross is enshrined.

Under the guidance of Hindenburg, Albert walked near the shrine, while the others stood quietly near the gate.He said a small prayer in front of the cross representing theocracy, and then the door opposite the chapel opened, and a cardinal from the Vatican came out. The guy had a fat body and was wearing a red cloak. He held a black-covered Bible in his hand.Behind them are the new ministers of the empire.

The cardinal came in front of Albert, and Albert stretched out his hand timidly. The cardinal glanced at the new president, then sighed, and stretched out his hand helplessly.The hands of the two were tightly held together.

Then Albert walked to the window sill, and stood facing the altar, while the cardinal was standing on his left holding the "Bible", Albert took a deep breath, slowly He stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the Bible.

"Your solemn oath!" The cardinal said slowly, "Fulfill the duties of the president, don't get involved in partisan struggles, and contribute to the country!" After saying this, the cardinal stopped and looked at Albert .

"I will." Albert's answer was weak and powerless.

"You swear again to abide by the constitution and respect all the interests of the Weimar Republic!" the cardinal continued.

"I will." Albert nodded suddenly.

"Then, may God bless you!" The cardinal sighed heavily, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and stared silently at the gloomy sky outside the glass window.

Albert turned around and happened to be face to face with Hindenburg. Hindenburg noticed that the new president's complexion had turned from pale to sallow, and his head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his mouth opened and closed a few times. , seemed to want to say something, but couldn't make a sound.Hindenburg felt that something was wrong, and when he was about to go to help him, Albert had already collapsed on the ground limply.

"The president fainted!"

"What the hell happened?"

"How did this happen?"

"Hmph, there's something exciting to watch now."

"..."

The people in the hall immediately became agitated. People reacted differently to this unexpected situation, some were worried, and more were gloating.

Hindenburg frowned, and hurriedly called for a military medical officer. After a while of busy work, it was proved that the president was only suffering from insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by a momentary emotional stress, and suddenly fainted. Take a closer look in the lounge below.

Hindenburg gritted his teeth fiercely, thinking that Albert is a waste, a waste of waste, and it is time for the president to deliver his inaugural speech, but judging from Albert's current situation, this key link has already passed. Unable to continue, Hindenburg broke his heart and said to the guests present: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen it just now. It was an absolutely accidental incident. I believe everyone will feel very sorry, but fortunately the president did not What a big danger, but he will not be able to make the next inaugural speech. In order to make this ceremony complete, I hope that I will complete the following speech instead of the President." Before everyone could express their opinions, Hindenburg had already made great strides He came to the podium, looked at the Chinese emperor in the front row, nodded, and then began his first speech declaration in place of the president in his life.

"The founding of the Weimar Republic marked the beginning of a new era for the German state! Although the Weimar Republic carried out the revolution with strict discipline, strength and self-control, we often see some foreign newspapers slandering our ideals between the lines. The new country established. Obviously, they are arrogant, poor knowledge and pathetic, and criticize the politics that we would like to establish a model of democratic politics. Fortunately, the establishment of this republic is the best evidence to expose these lies. Therefore, we have the right to defend our republic, we will not let my republic be ridiculed as worthless, and we will not let foreign lunatics interfere with our work! Whoever interferes with our mission, even if he Whether they want to use the false pretext of democracy, whether they are taking the extreme revolutionary line like the Russian Red Party, or they are reactionary dreamers, they are all public enemies of our democracy. In today's tense era, we Not those who instruct others in the name of God with the proverbs of the Bible, nor those who have nothing to do while mocking the work of others. We need people who will unite the people and we will People who do this kind of work are needed."

Hindenburg made such a fierce speech as soon as he came up, which immediately caused a commotion among the guests in the audience, but Guan Xuqing still stared at the proud Hindenburg on the stage as if no one else was there. He knew that Hindenburg was no longer the one who spoke for the president. , but directly announced to the world the position of the new German state.

Just listen to Hindenburg continue: "Our basic belief is that the development of the country depends on the efforts of the German people. The standard of living in a country is the accumulation of the country's total output, that is to say, the amount of wages must match the output of work. The amount of goods is directly proportional. This dogma is not satisfactory today, so some people are shouting that the current Germany is 'high wages, less work'. The new republic will first devote itself to changing this status quo and improving people's lives level, so that all the Germans have enough milk and bread."

"I can bet that in the next ten years the German people will remember and be proud of their efficiency. One of their achievements is that they have created a structure of government leadership which will be led by former Kaiser Wilhelm II This is the choice of all German people and the only correct choice. Your Majesty Edward, please forgive me. If Great Britain suddenly collapsed today, Britain would have no choice but to If a country has no gold reserves and no foreign exchange, then the British people may understand how difficult the economic situation we are in today. If a country has no gold reserves and no foreign exchange, it is because a parliamentary democracy, after being plundered, then We have been ravaged by world famine for five years; in other words, we have to feed 140 people per square kilometer, and we have no colonies to support us. If a country lacks various industrial materials, it is not in itself Willing to go into debt to get their unemployment down to zero within five years and improve their own standard of living; in a country where the economic prerequisites are so lacking, it is impossible to solve their own unemployment problems by keeping silent Yes. For example, France's claim to the possessions is louder and louder every year. These dependencies are not looted by France from other countries, but these dependencies are a burden to the world powers, but it is France Indispensable for the survival of the nation. As I have repeatedly stated, Germany has no territorial claims on France, and we have returned the Purcell, and we believe that the moment of territorial disputes between France and Germany will come to an end. That was the predecessor of Wilhelm II The evil consequences caused by the World War II should not become a permanent obstacle to the development of relations between Germany and France. Germany has nothing to do with Britain except for its own territories. However, our desire for territories will not constitute a further cause for the two countries. The reason for the conflict. The only thing that I think is poisonous and can harm the common life of the two countries is the malicious rendering of the newspapers that describe the two countries as 'unable to communicate', which is completely intolerable today."

At this time, Hindenburg's talk had shifted from the meaning of the founding of the Weimar Republic to international relations. His words both inside and out expressed the new government's position, that is, to establish an equal and positive relationship with the major powers. Diplomatic relations, on this basis, Germany will seek interests from small or weak countries.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 484 Anna

Hindenburg looked at Edward VII and said: "The British government requires sharp weapons to limit or prohibit explosions. I also proposed this kind of request of the British government a few days ago. Moreover, I also suggested that the world's most important The thing is to prevent articles in obscure newspapers from distorting the public opinion of the world. We are all well aware of the borders we have drawn with the countries of Europe, and no country will be satisfied. So, above all, don't , to torture the small number of natives living in the country so that they do not risk being persecuted because they belong to another people. There are thus proven several ways of reducing tension. But those who prevent by force can establish Countries with a new balance in Europe that can ease tensions will one day bring war to their own countries. Nor can they say for sure that Germany will allow them to continue as long as Germany is not strong and has no defense capabilities. to harm the Germans at the front."

Hindenburg set his sights on Franz, Emperor of Austria-Hungary, and continued: "Now, let's take a look at Austria. Not only does it belong to the same nation as Germany. And, most importantly, it has a long history with the German Empire." and cultural relations. However, after the Beijing peace conference, there were some differences between the two countries on the demarcation of the border. The two countries have been actively working hard to resolve this difference, so we signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" last year. This agreement is mainly to remove barriers and barriers to reach a final compromise. But whether we like it or not, this embarrassing relationship may be the seed of future disasters. Our lack of intelligence and negligence have turned the wheel of fate. It's rolling, and human power can't resist it. I'm happy to say to you that the Emperor of Austria is invited to visit us, and he agrees with me. Our basic intention is to cool the relationship between the two countries. I hope that efforts will be made to Austria Thank you for the cooperation with Germany. Germany is not a war-loving country. It is a heroic country. I mean Germany does not want war, but it is not afraid of war. It loves peace and also loves its honor and freedom.

Hindenburg looked at Guan Xuqing with a smile and said: "The great Chinese Empire has been, is, and will be the friendliest friend of the German country in the past, and we hope to maintain more in-depth cooperation with China in the days to come, including military and economic cooperation. Germany is willing to see an increasingly powerful Chinese Empire, and its rise will be of great benefit to us. We also hope that China can continue to support Germany on world issues. We have always A close companion."

Hindenburg suppressed his smile and raised his voice: "The new republic does not belong to any stage, any group, but to all the people of Germany. It will help the peoples who are willing to live in peace with us. It will make them more willing to do their best. Duty. I pray to God now that He will bless our country, our deeds, our vision, our resolve in the days to come, and pray that the Almighty will not let us be tainted with arrogance and servility Fault, may it help us to find the way Germany should go, may it give us the courage to do what we should do. May it help us not to be cowardly under evil forces and cowardly under danger. Weimar Republic and the German people Long live!"

After the inauguration ceremony, Hindenburg hosted a grand welcome banquet. After the banquet, Guan Xuqing did not return to the residence arranged by the German government. Instead, accompanied by Wu Tingfang, Luo Ming and other Chinese officials, they boarded the Rhine River together. A luxury cruise ship goes down the river and enjoys the beautiful scenery along both sides of the river.As Guan Xuqing said: "When you come to Beijing, you must go to the Great Wall, and when you come to Berlin, you must visit the Rhine."

Today, the Rhine River is full of tourists and is dubbed the "Romantic Rhine". In the past, it was once a battlefield of swords and swords.The many beautiful medieval castles on the hillsides along the river have added a rich cultural atmosphere to the Rhine and become the focus of people's appreciation today, and most of them have a bloody past.It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that it was "discovered" by many German romantic poets and painters, and it was given the name of "romantic".

The Rhine is the river of destiny in Germany; it is also a symbol of German history and the spirit of the Germanic nation.This is a place not to be missed when visiting Germany.The busiest river in Europe originates in the Alps and is the third longest in Europe after the Volga and the Danube.It crosses Germany from south to north and flows into the North Sea through the Netherlands. The most worthwhile visit is a section of more than 50 kilometers from Bingen to Koblenz in the Palatinate. The "Middle and Upper Rhine Valley" has dense castles and classical towns gathered in a short section of the river, with rich cultural and historical atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery.Most people pass by by boat.Guan Xuqing thinks that this is the place where the essence of German culture gathers. To understand Germany, one must first understand German culture. He thinks this is very important.

As the boat departs from the town of Bingen, the landscapes appear one after another.The bow of the boat was already full of people. In order not to miss the sights on the left and right banks, they could only shuttle between the port and starboard sides, which seemed very busy, but in the end they accidentally missed the rat tower in the river.This section of the Rhine River is surrounded by hills and hills; the small towns along the river are scattered with high and low buildings and steeple churches, backed by vineyards on the hillside; bright red trains pass through the riverside trees from time to time, which is a very good sight landscape.

Accompanying the Chinese emperor on the tour were the German foreign minister and several elite bodyguards of the presidential guard. The German government temporarily assigned a female tour guide named Anna.

Although Anna is only 18 years old, she speaks clearly and is proficient in German, French, English and other languages. What is commendable is that she is also very proficient in Chinese language and culture. She majored in Sinology at the famous Berlin University in Germany.Moreover, Anna has a good manner, is smart and beautiful, and is the youngest commentator employed by the German Foreign Ministry.

Guan Xuqing listened to Anna's gentle voice of explanation, and looked at the unique cultural beauty on both sides of the Rhine River, and felt like falling into a cloud of smoke for a while...

Starting from Bingen, on the other side there is the small town of Rüdesheim and the small town of Assmannhausen, which is known as the "Red Wine Town". And the ruins of Arenfels Castle at the foot of the mountain.This marks the beginning of the upper reaches of the Middle Rhine Valley, which is equivalent to the mouth of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Then there is Rheinstein Castle on the west bank of the Rhine. It was built in the 9th century and is the oldest castle in the Rhine region. It was converted into a summer palace by the Prussian royal family in 1825.The last castle has not left the view, and the Lech-Instein Castle on the west bank appears again. Below the castle is a campsite. It is really good to stay here by the river for one night.Immediately after that is the Schöneck Castle on the west bank of the Rhine.There are vineyards on both sides of the Rhine in this area, and the famous German Rhine wine is produced here.

Further down are the villages of the West Bank and the diminutive Hamburg Castle, which is now privately owned and closed to the public.In the "Jungle Age" where the jungle preys on the weak and the strong, it is safe only if you shut yourself in the castle.If a family becomes strong, it will build its own castle, and then expand outward to form a small state. If it fails, it will retreat to its own castle and continue to survive. This is how more than 1000 small states were formed and disappeared.Therefore, there is still an ancient castle belonging to a family for thousands of years.

After passing the town of Laochi on the east bank, there is the castle of Fürstenberg on the hillside on the west bank.Further forward is the Stalek Castle on the west bank, which has been converted into a youth hostel. Although the scenery above is good, it is still inconvenient to climb halfway up the mountain with a big bag.It took only 45 minutes by boat, and now we come to the small town of Bacharach.

The town of Bacharach is known as the most beautiful town on the Rhine. Her streets and buildings are not only ancient but also have a very artistic beauty.There is an ancient city gate near the river in the town. In the ancient towns in Germany, basically every town has walls and gates.Many houses built with wooden slats in the town are traditional buildings with German characteristics.Strolling on the small stone road in the quiet Rhine town, there are no traces of modernity, as if returning to the past.

There is also the beautiful pure white boat-shaped castle Palatinate Castle in the middle of the water. It was built in the 14th century. It was originally a checkpoint for collecting salt taxes in the river. The castle is famous.There is Guttenfels Castle and Kaupo Town at the foot of the mountain on the east bank behind.Turning around, the red Skenberg Castle appeared on the mountain on the west bank of the Rhine River, where the legend about the Seven Sisters turning into rocks happened.The famous poem "Lorelei" written by the famous German poet Heine is about this legend, and it became a famous song after it was composed.

After walking for 40 minutes, Guan Xuqing let the boat dock on the shore of St. Gore, a small town on the west bank of the Rhine. He wanted to get off the boat and walk around.

Although Luo Ming's guard group was worried, they didn't dare to say anything more. The presidential guard really panicked, and hurriedly notified the local government, dispatched a joint security team, and put the entire town under martial law.

On the banks of the Rhine, this is a larger town, and on the hill there is the largest Rhineland Castle, Rheinfels, built in 1245.The ground is paved with ancient black stone bricks, and the town is filled with faint mountain mist, sticking to human hair and skin, which makes me feel very comfortable.

The beautiful tour guide Anna was explaining the history of the town to the distinguished guests while walking. Guan Xuqing suddenly stopped, looked at Anna with a smile on his lips, and said, "Have you ever been to China?"

Anna was stunned for a moment, wondering why His Majesty would suddenly ask this seemingly insignificant question, she suddenly shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, although I major in Sinology, and I have always been eager to have the opportunity to study Take a look at ancient China, but I haven't finished my studies yet, and China has always been a beautiful dream for me."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 485 Late Night Visit

Guan Xuqing's eyes flickered: "I thought that if you want to learn the most authentic Sinology in the world, you should go to China. There are the best Sinology institutions in the world."

Anna was surprised: "Really? I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my knowledge of China is only limited to books, and I don't know anything about Chinese universities."

"If you are willing to go to China, I can let you study at Peking University, the best university in the empire. There are the world's most famous sinologists there, and I guarantee that you will benefit for life." Guan Xuqing said seriously.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why you recommend me to study in China?" Anna stroked her blond hair on her forehead, blinking her big blue eyes.

Guan Xuqing smiled, continued to walk forward, and said casually: "I think you are a good girl with great potential for further studies. If you don't want to, I won't force it."

"I am willing!" Anna stood there and said firmly.

Guan Xuqing turned around and looked at Anna, "What did you say?"

"I would, Your Majesty, but I have a request."
