Chapter Seventy-Eight: Not Willing to Settle
"Alfred, what does this mean?" Mary Wadsey asked her husband suspiciously.
"This shows that whether it is England or Germany, Protestantism is degenerate, degraded to the point of cooperating with Judas and making deals!" Wadsey said angrily, "Neither the Lutherans in Prussia nor the Anglican Church in England have ever been seriously anti-Semitic!" ”
"Yes, dear Alfred, you are right, and I also remember that when the crown princess was showing off her philanthropic history, she once said that she had specifically supported poor Jewish families." Mary Wadsey straightened up from her husband's arms and said to Wadsey with a serious face.
"The specter of the Jews, the atheism and the theory of socialism preached, if they were to be reconciled with the great immoral wealth of the Jews, would conspire to destroy the sacred cause of the German Empire! The Jews are the most dangerous enemies of the Empire! Wadsey whispered viciously.
"I must quickly get hold of the German army, and must not let the enemy within the Reich ..... Especially when the couple's conspiracy succeeded! The Junkers, the nobility and the army must not lose their rightful place! ”
"But, Alfred, the couple is going to be emperor....." Mary-Wadsey's eyes flickered with a flame of red greed, and she knew that her man had great ambitions for power since she had known Wadsey.
"My insider in the officer corps at the University of Prussia told me that Prince William was quite receptive to anti-Semitic ideas, and that he was a suitable heir to the throne, at least better than his father." Wardsea said softly.
"Honey, are you ready to ....."
"I am not willing to allow such evil things as liberalism and socialism to succeed in Germany, which is why I have worked so hard to please old Moltke, and no matter what I do, I must start from mastering the General Staff." Wadsey's eyes flashed green, and with a head of silver-white hair, he resembled a sinister and cunning white fox.
The Catholic Mission in Berlin is located in the Catholic Church in Berlin next to Gendarmenmarkt. Bishop Adolf Stoke, Bishop of the Mission and Court Missionary, is sitting in his office.
As Bishop of the Vatican Mission Mission in Berlin, Bishop Adolf Stoke was tasked with spreading the Catholic Gospel and exterminating the Jews.
In European history, the persecution and killing of Jews, in addition to the reasons for racial discrimination, was more of a religious persecution of Judaism by Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. Protestantism, which also originated from Christianity, was born late on the one hand, and on the other hand, there was more tolerance and mutual understanding of Judaism in its doctrine, so Britain and the United States, two powerful Protestant countries, never had violent persecution of Jews.
During the German III period, the famous Kristallnacht began in the Catholic city of Munich and eventually spread throughout Germany. As for Orthodox Russia, anti-Semitism has always been a national policy at any time, and the actual means of massacre of Jews in history are actually no worse than those of the Nazis.
The Prussians, or the German court, from Wilhelm I to Chancellor Bismarck, were sympathizers and protectors of the Jews. Historically, after his dismissal, Bismarck kept attacking Wilhelm II and his owl boyfriend through the newspapers, that is, through the newspapers of his Jewish friends.
As for the crown prince and his wife, not to mention, they once held a special ball for Jews in the Berlin Imperial Palace on several occasions.
There was not the slightest anti-Semitic attitude on the part of the German court, which made Adolf Stoke extremely frustrated.
Although frustrated, in Adolf Stoker's opinion, there are still many highlights in his work, such as an unexpected encounter in the court a few months ago, which allowed him to meet the red man in front of His Majesty Wilhelm I, General Vasily. After some in-depth talks, the two reached a high degree of agreement on the issue of anti-Semitism, and even said that in the end, both sides could only elevate their anti-Semitic attitudes through shameless bragging.
Although Adolf Stoke was very satisfied with General Vasily's thoughts, the Bishop still thought that Vasily had some natural shortcomings, and this shortcoming was that Vasily actually believed in Orthodox Christianity.
In the eyes of the Holy See, this is definitely a heretical religion. But for the sake of the anti-Semitic cause in Germany, the bishop could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Bishop Adolf Stoke also pinned the future of his anti-Semitic cause on one person: Prince Wilhelm, son of Crown Prince Frederick and second in line to the throne of the German Empire.
After several conversations with Prince William on the recommendation of General Vasily, the Bishop commented on William as simple, irritable, mentally fragile and paranoid, and such a character was definitely a good target to promote his anti-Semitic ideals.
After several conspiracies with the couple, Wadsey's wife came up with a plan to properly guide William's mind, which was to introduce Mary Wadsey's niece to William as his fiancée.
Mary Wadsey's niece, in fact, should be said to be the niece of her first husband, who was none other than Prince Sandberg-Augustus of Schleswig-Holstein, the son of the Queen of Denmark during the Prussian-Danish War, and the prince's niece was the Catholic, Princess Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein.
After only one encounter with Princess Augusta, the Bishop's assessment was simple and clear, "A stupid but pious, a princess with a strong Catholic faith but no intelligence, she would be a good queen." ”
So this is why the princess Augusta Victoria, who Joey saw at the ball today, with an incomparably healthy figure and an incomparably strong waist, looked at Prince William with a look of spring.
As a well-known conspiracy theorist, the Bishop is also good at arranging his own eyeliner in the court, so Princess Augusta-Victoria's every move in the palace is also under the Bishop's sight.
When he learned that Prince William had always danced with Princess Elizabeth, and that Princess Augusta had no chance to get close, the Bishop reluctantly and vulgarly burst into a foul language, "These bitche-raised Orthodox religious heretics deserve hell!" ”
Then the Bishop reverently crossed his chest with his palms, crossed his hands and confessed, "Merciful Lord, please forgive me for my straightforwardness. O all-powerful Lord, I beseech you to send these heretical sinners to hell! While praying earnestly to God, the bishop's eyes were drawn to a report on his desk.
This is a background check report on Crown Princess Victoria, detailing her various hobbies, especially her liberal rhetoric and philanthropy.
"I'm going to have a conspiracy, ahem, it's a plan, how can the Holy See have a conspiracy. It's all just a great plan to admonish the lost Lamb. Bishop Adolf Stoke pondered with a look of divine thought.
"Since you dangerous and terrible woman loves charity and liberal rhetoric, then I will do what you like, package Princess Augusta as you want, and let that prince of Orthodox heresy ...... Hmph, let Ovstad become William's wife, let her influence the future Kaiser Wilhelm, I will never let a Jew survive on the land of the Holy See! Never! ”
After a day and a night of travel, the train from Berlin to Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, had just passed through Meersburg, the border checkpoint between Germany and Switzerland, at midnight.
As soon as the German border police got off the train, many passengers in one of the carriages breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the same socialists who attended the Salon on Saturday afternoon, including Wilhelm Liebknecht and his 8-year-old sons Carl Liebknecht, August Bebel, Clara Eisner, Carl Kautsky, Carl Hirschberg, Carl August Schramm, Eduard Bernstein, Carl Eugen Dühring, Georg Heinrich Foremar and Franz Mehring.
As soon as the train crossed the German-Swedish border, the socialists began to have a heated debate about the different views they had communicated with the crown princess at yesterday's salon.
Auguste Bebel was a veteran comrade, so he was the first to speak strongly against the ideas and actions of Hirschberg, Schramm, Bernstein and Volmar who deviated from the party's tenets and attempted to make peace with the class enemies of the SAP (German Socialist Workers' Party).
Bebel said angrily, "You know that Comrade Liebknecht is resolutely opposed to any compromise with the decadent Junker class, and that you still reach a tacit understanding of political reconciliation with Comrade Liebknecht and me, as well as with the decadent bourgeoisie and the representatives of the declining feudal forces of Crown Princess Victoria, and that your serious right-leaning capitulationist behavior is a blatant betrayal of the revolutionary cause of the Party!" ”
Not to be outdone, Eduard Bernstein, who was ten years younger, retorted, "Dear Comrade August, I have the impression that every time you receive funding from the crown princess, you always take the lion's share, how come I never see that you have any dislike for the crown princess's donation of funds, oh, you can't say no, you are always complaining that the crown princess gives too little money, using the money of class enemies, is this considered decadence and decline?" ”
"Spending the enemy's money, this is a revolutionary act, using their money against them, this is the most revolutionary act!" Bebel was arrogant and said without any guilt, "Besides, this money is a bribe that the reactionary crown princess tried to buy us, this is ironclad evidence that the class enemy has corrupted us, and I should spend it even more!" ”
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has been supporting ADAV (All-German Workers' Federation) since 1863, and I am also a member of the German Socialist Workers' Party, and frankly, in the past 16 years, I have never seen the Crown Princess make any demands on us, and if I do, it was only yesterday." The veteran Karl Eugen Durin spoke.
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess asked us to support His Royal Highness the work of the Crown Prince, and she asked for nothing more than that we would reduce unnecessary strikes, and as for reasonable resistance, the Crown Princess remained sympathetic, and the Crown Princess assured that the Crown Prince would raise the wages of the workers and find a way to lift the anti-socialist law. We all saw these attitudes last night, and I don't think there is anything excessive about the Crown Princess's request. Doolin added.
Then, Du Lin looked around at the people present and said, "I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Princess has unremittingly supported us for 16 years, and we should agree to this request!" ”
"Childish! You are a serious right-leaning infantil! has been corroded by her sugar-coated shells for the past 16 years, which shows that the crown princess is extremely reactionary, and she is corrupting us for a long time, without stopping, and with all her intentions! Bebel pointed at Durin, "And you are the typical representative of the corrupted and degenerate!" ”
Forty-six-year-old Du Lin looked angrily at Bebel, who was seven years younger than him, and said angrily, "Comrade Bebel, before accusing your comrades, you should have evidence!" ”
"Evidence?! The words of Comrade Friedrich's mentor are proof of this, and his "Anti-Dühring" systematically criticizes your erroneous viewpoint, and you Dühring is a materialist who is not firm enough, clear and thorough. Bebel roared loudly
Dühring's face turned from white to red, and he angrily defended, "I am also the founder of the All-German Workers' Federation, I have always fought on the front lines of the German Socialist Workers' Party, and I, like these young people, risk being arrested and imprisoned every week, going back and forth between Germany and Switzerland!" And the so-called mentor of yours, when he heard that the police were coming to arrest him, ran to England in his pajamas and went barefoot, and has been hiding timidly across the channel to this day! Never dared to set foot in his hometown! ”
"All men are created equal, born free, what's wrong with my view?! But he used the concepts of equality and freedom to quibble with me in each period and at each stage! You, a good student of Comrade Friedrich's mentor, please tell me, what is the difference between Starbucks' struggle against oppression and his pursuit of equality and freedom from the Paris Commune's resistance to oppression?! ”
"The four virtues of wisdom, justice, bravery, and temperance advocated by the ancient Greeks are not needed in today's society! But your guru says that morality only works in a limited realm of time, beyond which morality becomes a fallacy, how is it that the four virtues of 2,000 years ago have become fallacies now? ”
"Your comrade Friedrich mentor is a shameless man full of metaphysics, full of sophistry, hiding across the channel and shivering!" Durin yelled at Bebel.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Wilhelm Liebknecht, as the leader of the German Socialist Workers' Party, immediately came forward to round the field for his most staunch follower and thug, Bebel, and after pretending to reprimand Bebel for disrespecting the old comrades in the party, he said to Dühring, "Dear Comrade Dühring, humbly accepting criticism is the most basic requirement of every socialist. ”
"On the question of the party's line, we will have a lot of time to argue about it in the future. And today, we are mainly discussing the issue of Princess Victoria, and don't talk about irrelevant things for the time being! Liebknecht set the tone for tonight's discussion.
Clara Eisner, a twenty-two-year-old young girl who joined the German Socialist Workers' Party while studying at the Leipzig Girls' Normal School, became a rising star in the German Socialist Workers' Party with her vigor and revolutionary fervor.
"The reason why I support the idea of continuing the struggle of Comrades Liebknecht and Bebel is that many of the political demands of our German Socialist Workers have not been met. For example, when I asked the crown princess that men and women should be equal in legislation and education, equal pay for equal work, and divorce and abortion should be allowed, the crown princess only supported my education equality and allowed divorce, and did not support my legislative equality and abortion at all! Clara Eisner said with a sense of urgency.
Everyone in the room showed great impatience with Clara Eisner's argument that abortion would be allowed, especially in southern and western Germany, where Catholicism and Judaism were prevalent, including Liebknecht and Bebel.
Finally, in this awkward atmosphere, Karl Kauts, who claims to be an authority on orthodox Marxist theory, had to come forward to make a round, "Dear Comrade Clara, these four political propositions of yours have to be said to be ahead of the times, especially legislative equality and allowing abortion. ”
"As a woman representative of the party, my political ideas must be forward-looking! In the face of the political propositions of our advanced nature, all opponents represent backwardness and decadence! Clara Eisner glared at the party's theoretical authority and choked.
"I think the political proposition put forward by Comrade Clara can be regarded as a well-thought-out rational proposition, after all, Comrade Clara did not directly shout out the idea of sexual liberation as he did in the previous party meetings!" Carl August Schramm said lukewarmly.
All the male party members present were embarrassed, and when it came to sexual liberation, Clara Eisner's advanced consciousness made everyone uncomfortable, except of course for some men and women who like special bodies.
Comrade Liebknecht decided to ignore this woman representative who supported him for the time being, and personally went into battle to explain his thoughts to everyone. "Comrades, as a party member, we must firmly establish the concept of class struggle, and we must not give up the concept of struggle at any time. Although Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has supported us for the past 16 years, we must recognize her feudal nature and forget this, we are making mistakes. ”
"Comrade Bebel's political consciousness is very high, he has always firmly grasped the string of class struggle, and he has clearly recognized the real purpose behind the crown princess, which I think is quite commendable! The class struggle should be the main theme of the Socialist Workers' Party, and we must not relax for a moment! ”
"So even if you promise the crown princess something, the party's line of struggle must not stop! We will take advantage of the enemy's paralyzing thinking that we have reached an agreement with us, and launch a new strike movement faster and more violently! Liebknecht set the tone for the course ahead.
Despite Liebknecht's words, there were still dissenting voices, and Karl Hirchberg stood up and directly expressed a different opinion, "Dear Comrade Wilhelm, if we do this, where will we put a person's basic credit?" ”
"Do we also have to learn from those black-hearted capitalists and play a trick in front of them and behind the scenes? If this is done, what is the difference between a Socialist Worker and the capitalists, and what moral advantage do we have to lead the workers' movement?! Hirschberg said dissatisfied.
"Wrong! We are completely different from those capitalists, we are people with firm beliefs, and those capitalists only know how to make money! Bebel jumped out and said loudly.
"Dear Comrade August, when it comes to making money, it seems that the wages you pay to the workers in the small factories of England are lower than the average local wages. On the question of perfidy, do you have to use the dialectic of your guru to analyze it? It is not called treachery to be used on the enemy .... Sure enough, mistakes are mistakes in some areas, but out of this field, mistakes may become the right thing, and you are really skilled in the use of this dialectic..."Georg Heinrich Folmar said to Bebel with a smile.
"Comrade Georg, you are attacking the party's mentor and attacking me with such a yin and yang tone, are you also preparing to engage in right-leaning capitulationism! You're making a serious mistake in the route! Bebel shouted angrily.
"Comrade August, if you shoot a sympathizer who has supported the work of the Party for 16 years, you are engaging in a leftist movement!" Edward Bernstein retorted unequivocally.
Liebknecht, Bebel, and Eisner on the left and Hirschberg, Schramm, Bernstein, Dühring, and Volmar on the right flanked quarreled fiercely.
Karl Kauts, the party's theoretical authority, kept playing a round for both sides.
Franz Merlin sat next to him and said silently, "This party was born full of infighting, and if this continues, one day, when you are really in power, what will the world become?" ”
Wilhelm Liebknecht's son, Karl Liebknecht, watched this scene and resounded in his heart the words of his esteemed Friedrich mentor uncle, "Only the dictatorship of the proletariat and insurrection are the only way out for Germany." Those of you who oppose my father are traitors to the party, and when I grow up, I will put you all under dictatorship! Today's quarrel on the wrong route will never be repeated, you all wait, I will never let you go! ”
