Chapter 271: The National Self-Improvement Speech Sensations the World
"The nation is the main body of culture, and culture is the soul of the nation. A nation with excellent traditional culture has tenacious vitality and can be reborn even if it suffers heavy losses. However, the functioning of culture cannot be separated from the whole of society as a carrier of culture. Culture is a constituent element of society, which is formed by ideas in the superstructure such as economy as the foundation and politics as the core. The rise and fall of a nation does not depend solely on culture, but on the overall strength of a country. At each end of Eric's speech, he would stop and let the interpreter read the full text to the people present. Despite the different languages, Eric can still sense a high level of identification from people's excited and joyful expressions.
"The German Confederation is not just a national title, in my opinion, it is a kind of cultural convergence and integration! Just like the simple and hardworking character of the Serbs! National self-improvement can create all unpredictable brilliance. Both the past and the colorful present have all proved this point, and once the economic strength, military strength, and political system as the carrier of national culture are backward, it will be difficult to safeguard the operation of the state and the independence of the nation by relying only on excellent cultural traditions. To solve this negative problem, we must build on our strengths and avoid weaknesses and unite as one! Create a democratic, independent, strong and unified country! Eric waited until the translation was finished, then stood on the podium and said the last words.
"The German Confederation is your home, a democratic, strong, independent, united country, a home that can keep you safe, protect your property, provide you with work, and provide you with food, clothing, shelter and transportation! You are welcome to join us! With that, Eric waved to the crowd in the square again.
The crowd was once again boiling, and the cheers of "Long live the Führer" resounded in the sky. Eric's speech painted a picture of what they were looking forward to, with those who voted yes happy for their choice and those who voted against showing a modicum of guilt. Because of Eric's pro-people actions and the policy of enriching the people and strengthening the country, those who had previously wavered and finally abstained from voting also began to secretly rejoice.
Looking at this jubilant scene, Eric couldn't help but respond to everyone's cheers.
Gradually, the cheers of the crowd began to unify, and Eric, who could not understand Serbian, learned through an accompanying interpreter that the people were shouting: Long live the president! National self-improvement!
Greeted by the crowd, Eric returned to the airport and flew straight to Vienna.
Eric's speech in Sarajevo was brilliant and lively, and the busy reporters were equally enthusiastic, and they quickly wrote press articles under the popular slogan "National Self-Reliance", which were published in the major newspapers and magazines at home and abroad in the shortest possible time.
While Eric, accompanied by local officials, was visiting Vienna's enterprises, institutions and private sectors, Germany, the United States, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the Far East were all delivering this exciting news, and because of their different attitudes, they also felt differently. In the evening, the front pages of the reports on this incident were constantly reprinted, and the newspapers with a very strong smell of ink were already flying all over the sky.
Eric himself had no idea that his trip to Sarajevo would be so sensational, and when he returned to Berlin from Vienna on an F-D25, there was a lot of buzz on the streets, and newspapers had already reprinted the news several times.
Eric's speech was impressive, vivid and philosophical, witty and deafening, and his speech was translated word for word into many languages and published at home and abroad.
The German Federal Government has a positive, positive and progressive image in Sarajevo, which has won great international reputation.
The U.S. government has made great efforts to promote the spread of such theories in the country, because the rise of the United States requires such energy, especially in the United States of America, which is dominated by immigrants and the integration of diverse cultures, which must also tout the German model.
The British government also welcomed such reports, and Eric's speech was very versatile and contagious, and had a positive and positive impact on the unity of the British Isles, while France and Italy reacted relatively low-key, but the two German-hating and German-hating countries had to admit that such a spread of ideas was also beneficial to them.
A few days after the headline "National Self-Reliance" went viral in France, a general strike of industrial workers swept through most of France again without warning and with even greater momentum, and at the same time, opposition parties, radical groups, and populism sprung up and caught the French authorities off guard.
After the war, France spent two years and failed to solve the scars left in the northeast of France after the European war, large areas of scorched earth could not be effectively cultivated, even if it was fertile land, it was often because of the bombs left over from the war to kill and injure people and animals, and the hidden dangers were not eliminated, and eventually only a large area could be abandoned, and the national food supply needed to rely on overseas imports to fill the gap.
Because of the war, France owed a huge amount of foreign debt, and while constantly repaying the debt, it had to import the food needed to save its life, and its finances continued to grow negatively, and the national decrees could not be fulfilled, resulting in no hope of economic recovery in the short term, and the former government had to resign in a sad manner. After the change of government, after unremitting efforts, but the heavy debt dragged down the transformation and upgrading of domestic enterprises, although through several mergers and acquisitions, but the situation has not improved, the same boost is weak. At this time, the international market has already been seized by Germany, Britain, the United States, and other countries, and if France cannot produce high-tech products, it will not be able to open foreign markets, so it can only pin its hopes on domestic demand and emphasize that government functionaries can only buy their own products. This bizarre decree was immediately strongly criticized by the opposition parties, so the populace, deeply disappointed with the new government, urgently needed "France's Eric".
Sarajevo was not intended to be a showman, but it was the cause of unrest in France.
In addition to grain and cotton spinning, the French government raised import tariffs and subsidized export taxes on commodities to stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises for production, and achieved insignificant results in a short period of time, but it was soon criticized and warned by the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries, and domestic enterprises that need to carry out industrial upgrading are also full of complaints, impatient, this decree was not implemented for a long time and was forced to cancel.
After a rush from left to right, the authorities had no choice but to start from the country again, and the agricultural and animal husbandry tax, enterprise value-added tax, and business tax were greatly raised, further narrowing the living space of enterprises. In order to strive for small profits, the capitalists once again extended the working hours and reduced the welfare benefits of the workers, regardless of the quality of life and the intensity of labor.
