Chapter 55: The Chief of Police
Gustav walked to Congress, along with several Liberal Party cadres. They didn't take the black Mercedes-Benz sedan that Zhang Chengtian gave them, and there were no members who hugged each other. It's like taking an after-dinner walk to listen to the results of the votes in the Diet.
When they arrived at the door of the Capitol, many people who supported Gustav, holding up Gustav's name and slogans of support, shouted his name, waved at him, and shouted cheers.
Gustav smiled and waved in response to his supporters.
This is perhaps the most glorious time of Gustav's political career, and the end of it!
Many people know that this man who is calm and calm, coldly facing the nobles of the consortium, and bowing his head and willing to relieve the people's worries, actually does not have much chance of winning.
Even if the public knows that he is right, even if many people hope that Gustav will be elected president.
However, in this republic established in compromise. The correct role is far less than a sentence of the Junker aristocracy.
Compared to the ordinary people who supported Gustav, those media had more influence, those consortia could influence the wealth of more people, and those officials had more power!
"Gustav ......" In the hall of Congress, Meyer, the candidate of the Childe family, had a playful smile on his face when he saw Gustav walking through the door.
In the flash of reporters, he shook hands with Gustav and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Gustav to have the courage to come after hearing that kind of news." I really admire you. ”
Gustav's heart sank, and it seemed that the news that the Childe family had fallen to Hindenburg was true.
Meyer smiled and waved to the reporters who were taking pictures around him, and said in a voice that only he and Gustav could hear: "I let the news out." From the very beginning I did not intend to run for president, and Field Marshal Hindenburg has always been a target of our support. ”
Gustav also smiled and waved his hand to the reporters, and replied: "Do you think the Juncker consortium will allow others to interfere in the distribution of interests in Germany?" At the end of the day, you are just pawns used by the Juncker consortium. ”
"It's a pity that you don't even have the qualifications to become a pawn." Meyer and Gustav went toe-to-toe.
In the square outside the Reichstag, several Jews were excitedly saying, "Gustav's supporters are going to be angry this time." ”
"They weren't angry. That group of idealists will never understand how insignificant the role of ideals is in the face of money and power. A Jewish merchant with a big belly shouted, waving his fat hand full of gold rings.
Even some of the surrounding people who also supported Hindenburg were not accustomed to these Jewish "comrades" who had defected and supported Hindenburg.
They could not understand why these Jews, who did not even dare to support their own representatives, turned to the Junker class to curry favor with them, could shamelessly satirize those Gustavus supporters.
In the eyes of these Hindenburg supporters, the idealists who dared to insist on voting for Gustav were far taller than these speculative Jewish businessmen!
Unfortunately, the Jews did not seem to feel the contempt of others, and continued to sarcastically say: "A candidate with ideals can only be a candidate forever if he does not have enough foundations." I really hope for ...... next time."
"Fart!" A leather shoe was thrown into the face of the Jew who was speaking. A mild-mannered, middle-aged man was seen jumping out of the ranks of Gustav's supporters and sparring with the Jew who spoke.
The police, who maintained law and order, quickly took the man who beat him away. At that moment, his originally straight suit was already covered with dust. The plaid tie around his neck had just been torn off. There were a few black bruises on his face, and the corners of his mouth and nose were covered with blood. The leather shoe on his right foot was also thrown out, revealing a pair of black socks.
The beaten Jew was lying on his side on the ground, his hands covering his lower body, and his expression was twisted and he was howling.
Many colleagues who knew the beating man were very surprised that the boss who was usually kind and elegant was so unscrupulous when he got into a fight, and he used three indiscriminate tricks when he came up.
At the moment when the beating man in a suit was pressed into the police car, people clearly saw the tears in his eyes!
"This Diao Min, a poor ghost, is simply the embodiment of scum." Looking at the movers who were taken away by the police, the crowd of cursed Jews boiled again.
Eventually, the oppressive atmosphere was broken, and one leather shoe after another was smashed in the direction of the Jewish merchants.
Gustav's supporters swarmed into the square facing the Reichstag, staging a scuffle of several hundred people.
Due to the chaos of the scene, this time the police were not able to quickly separate the crowd. As a result, the Jewish community, which is good at business, sits in offices for a long time, and most of them lack exercise, is beaten by Gustav's supporters. One shouted "Police, police!" Hurry up! ”
So where are the police gathered around the square? At this moment, they were all gathered around the Berlin police chief Morse, who had just arrived at the scene.
A young police captain who had just joined the police station through connections stepped forward and said to Chief Morse: "Director, should we intervene immediately to evacuate the crowd and prevent the situation from expanding?" ”
Director Morse said more and more: "Wait, Gustav's supporters still have the upper hand." ”
Regardless of the upper hand, wait for the wind to fall before making a move! Morse's mind can be said to be known to passers-by. The young captain was surprised by Morse's bias, and a dignified police chief in the city of Berlin could be so shameless?
Dalton, who had followed Morse for several years and had become deputy chief of the Berlin police department, patted his young nephew on the shoulder. The police captain of this nephew was arranged by him, and he also knew the upright character of his nephew.
However, Dalton knows better. The Socialist Workers' Party, to which Director Morse joined, can be said to be the nemesis of almost all upright people.
Under the leadership of their leader, Reinhardt, there was already a trend of pride in the Socialist Workers' Party.
Sure enough, without waiting for the young captain to speak. Morse laughed and said, "If it were when I was young, I was insulted by a group of businessmen who insulted my ideals, maybe I would have beaten them even harder than them." Young people, it's okay to be impulsive. If you don't have a little impulsiveness, can you still call a young man? Compared to those gloomy businessmen who ignore ideals and only know how to chase money, I think young people with honest personalities are more likeable. ”
Although it was known that the Socialist Workers' Party, which Moss joined, was pro-Gustav. But Dalton didn't expect that Morse, who was forty-five years old, could be so ashamed.
Apparently it was Gustav's supporters who led the brawl, but Morse downplayed this behavior as the impulsiveness of young people, and praised them as a group of people with honest personalities.
Dalton smiled bitterly, since Moss joined the Socialist Workers' Party, the old superior who used to be trembling and wise to protect himself is now becoming more and more shameless.
Dalton's puzzled guess, could it be that the role of faith is to add to the thickness of the skin?
