Chapter 156: A New Era: The Third Reich
Looking at the captain with a frustrated face, Leon was really speechless, the rigor and truth of the Germanic nation was engraved into his bones, and he even took such an obvious joke seriously.
"Alright, my captain, I'm joking with you." Leon patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "The people have come to greet us warmly, how can we leave without saying hello?" ”
With that, Leon walked down the gangway and strode towards the fanatical crowd.
"Long live the Führer!" Seeing the Absolute Leader coming towards them, the people became even more frenzied, and they tried their best to storm the defense line formed by the Wehrmacht, trying to get closer to their leader.
Leon stood still in front of the crowd when an official handed over the microphone and asked everyone in confusion over the large radio at the airport: "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." I would like to ask, why did everyone suddenly gather at the airport to greet me, is it a special day? ”
With so many people, there are certainly a variety of answers, but Leon doesn't really need to hear them. Because according to the plan, the "people" disguised by the Gestapo will be mixed in the front positions, and they will answer Leon's questions according to the "script" so that the play can go smoothly.
"Because we want to restore our former glory under your leadership!" An "undercover agent" shouted.
Leon glanced approvingly at the "undercover agent", then asked, "The glory of the past?" ”
"That's right! We don't want the damn name 'Weimar'! We're going back to the German Empire! The "undercover agent" obviously memorized the "line book" very seriously, and all the "lines" were correct.
"That's right! Let the humiliating name 'Weimar' die! "Glory to the German Empire!" "We are the descendants of Frederick the Great, and we do not accept the shame of the 'Weimar Republic'!" The rest of the crowd also shouted spontaneously, they hadn't read the lines.
Apparently Lyon underestimated the degree of disgust that the German people had for the "Weimar Republic", because the Weimar Republic was a product of the defeat of the Second German Reich, so almost all Germans considered the word "Weimar" to be synonymous with disgrace.
Seeing that the situation was developing so quickly, Leon didn't bother to continue with the lines, and directly started his speech.
"As a German, as the Führer of Germany, I understand the feelings of all Germans, and despite being President of the Weimar Republic, I think the same as everyone else!"
"Since I joined the army at the age of 18, I have been fighting for the great Germany for 20 years!"
"But only one of these twenty years was a happy one, and by 'that year' I mean is not the year I became the head of the Republic, but the year in which I fought for the Second German Reich as a recruit. Because it was only by fighting for the Empire, for Frederick the Great, that I could feel that I was a German! ”
"Then we were defeated, and the great German Empire fell apart and became a humiliating, disgusting name – the 'Weimar Republic.'"
"I've been fantasizing for the past 19 years, can we return to our former glory and restore the name of our motherland? But the reality is cruel, Britain and France and other countries have been suppressing us, not allowing us to restore our original name, forcing us to accept a name full of humiliation. ”
"I came to understand that we could not go back until we had absolute force to protect ourselves. So I began to work for Germany to have the same armaments as other countries legally. Perhaps it was Frederick the Great who had a spirit in heaven, and my efforts were finally not in vain, and the damned Treaty of Versailles disappeared into the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, and we could have a navy again; Then there's the New Portsmouth Peace Treaty, where we can legally have an air force; And at the end, all the restrictions are gone! ”
"We have become strong and returned to the top of the original situation, but unfortunately Britain and France do not want to admit it, so there will be that battle some time ago. The result? The 80,000 French troops were completely defeated by our powerful army in just two days, and they were rushed everywhere. If they hadn't had a maginot shell, our army would have been able to fight to Paris! ”
Leon mentioned the big win some time ago, which brought the atmosphere to a climax, and all the people were shouting with all their might.
Because this battle allowed all Germans to completely come out of the shadow of defeat in the First World War.
Germany's victories abroad again and again, and the domestic national economic conditions are getting better and better, which is the cornerstone of the statue of Lyon, and the last conflict is the last stone on the statue of Lyon.
Looking at the people who were almost crazy, Leon smiled and said the last sentence: "From now on, the 'Weimar Republic' is officially a thing of the past!" 'The Third German Reich' is the new name of the great Motherland! ”
The Third Reich, the name that represents an era, has appeared in history with a new look, a little less paranoia, but a little more crazy.
Sometimes madness is a powerful manifestation, isn't it?
The first stage of the "Emperor" program was successfully completed, and the next stage was much simpler.
It was said that it was to change the state system, but because of the long-term operation of Lyon, the original parliamentary republic of the Weimar Republic has completely changed.
The original parliamentary republic should be that the parliament has the power to legislate, organize and supervise the government (cabinet), that is, the government (cabinet) is organized by the political party or coalition of political parties that occupy the majority of seats in the parliament, and the government is responsible to the parliament, and when the parliament passes a motion of no confidence in the government, the government has to resign or petition the head of state to dissolve the parliament and re-elect, while the president as the head of state is only a vacant position and has almost no real power.
But the current Weimar Republic is almost controlled by Lyon, and what Lyon says, the Congress is.
In general, the "emperor" plan is just a change of name for the country and the legalization of what was not on the table.
Therefore, the reform of the system was carried out very quickly, and there was no disharmony in the process, and everything went very smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed in the first place.
A day later, the new flag of the Third German Reich replaced the old flag of the Weimar Republic and flew in the German sky, and the people quickly forgot the old national anthem, the "German Song", and learned the new "Germany above all". The German embassies and consulates moved faster than at home, and after the speech in Lyon, they lowered the old flag at the door and replaced it with a new one.
Lyon, at last, has become the titular absolute leader of the country!
