Chapter 56: Reclaiming Fairness
By the time the police intervened, the Jewish merchants were lying on the cold tiles.
A member of the Gestapo who was mixed in with the crowd stepped forward and said to Morse: "Mr. Director, you have seen it too. These supporters, who originally belonged to Meyer, constantly picked quarrels and provoked trouble, repeatedly provoked us, and insulted our dignity. Please also do justice for us. ”
Dalton, who was on the side, listened in surprise as the Gestapo finished speaking.
Obviously, this "ordinary person" has some connection with Morse, or at least knows each other. Otherwise, he would never dare to sue the wicked first.
Dalton smiled wryly. These Gustav supporters have already beaten others to cry and call their mothers, what justice do they have to be?
Is it just right to pull up those Jewish businessmen who are lying on the ground like mud and beat them again?
Of course, Morse, as the chief of police, was not going to beat the businessman again. He simply selected a few Jewish businessmen who "took the lead in stirring up trouble" and brought them back to the police station for detention on charges of endangering public safety and stability.
Later, the Jewish businessmen, who were knocked to the ground, saw several Jewish dignitaries being dragged into the police car like sacks.
Then, the man in the suit, who had been taken away from the police in full view, swaggered out of the police car.
There was still a black bruise on his face, but the blood at the corner of his mouth had been wiped clean. He just wore a new black tie that is common to police stations, put on a pair of police leather shoes and walked down.
A young Jewish businessman, stumbling to his feet from the ground, walked up to Morse and asked, "Mr. Chief of Police, why did the assailant who took the lead in beating people get out of the police car with such a swagger?" And my friends who were beaten were caught in the police car. ”
Dalton, who was standing on the sidelines, thought to himself that it should be difficult for Morse to explain this time.
Sure enough, Morse was questioned like this, and he couldn't explain it for a while.
In the end, Morse gave up the explanation: "Come on, since this man claims to be an accomplice of the troublemaker, let's arrest him together." ”
Looking at the young businessman who was snatched up by two policemen, Dalton could hardly believe his ears.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy. Director Morse doesn't intend to explain at all! What really needs to be explained is the young man who is an accomplice to the provocateur.
I have to say that Morse's approach is very relieving. However, there is a price to be paid for relieving anger!
As the deputy who had been with Morse for many years, Dalton sighed. If Moss had done this on the eve of Gustav's imminent presidency, it would have been understandable.
However, when it became clear that Gustav could not win the election, Morse blatantly sided with Gustav's supporters and captured Jewish merchants who had surrendered to Field Marshal Hindenburg. All this must be the disgust and revenge of the new President Hindenburg!
Dalton couldn't understand how the old superior, who once knew how to protect himself and was trembling, became so casual now?
……
Gustav and his team sat quietly in the corner of the Congress Hall. The active and enthusiastic collective in the past is now like losing a divorce.
"It's like a dream," Gustav said to himself, "a dream with no ending". His eyes that were full of passion in the past are now looking at the rostrum in front of him in confusion.
In another 10 minutes, it will be time to announce the results. For him, too, it will be over in 10 minutes.
Although Gustav's appearance, as usual, looks as calm. However, everyone present knew that this time would be the biggest blow in his life!
In fact, from the beginning of his promise to Zhang Chengtian to his participation in the presidential race, Gustav has never been sure that he will be elected president. He just wanted to make his voice heard, so that the kingdom could be a little more positive than it had been because of his participation.
Originally, he was just walking forward one step at a time. No one expected that under the propaganda of the Socialist Workers' Party and the efforts of the members of the Liberal Party, they would go further and further.
Run in the presidential election, become a presidential candidate, and be among the three most promising candidates. All of this is as beautiful as a dream.
It was a time of great passion. No matter how hard and tired they were, everyone gritted their teeth and moved forward, unwilling to relax in the slightest.
But at the last minute, a second before the train was about to enter the terminal. The terminal, which belonged to them, collapsed.
Sitting on the sidelines, watching others drive into the finish line in an orderly manner. All this was unbearable for Gustav. Obviously, there is only one step away, only a little bit of fairness, and I can get to that position and realize my ambitions.
Outside the hall, there was a chaotic argument, as if a brawl had taken place.
Gustav felt that it was his supporters, protesting.
Maybe there's already a fight outside the Capitol. I wish they could beat the Jews down properly, Gustav thought to himself.
The results of the voting were about to be announced, and the young host who announced the results took the written manuscript and walked to the podium.
At the same moment, a Liberal Party officer who remained in the office was calling the restaurant: "Hey, the manager of the Berlin Hotel?" Yes, we're the Gustav team who ordered tonight. Help me prepare more wine, high proof. Also, please remove the celebratory banner and turn off the music. ”
In the police station, a Jewish businessman who was on the road to take notes said viciously to the police officer: "When Field Marshal Hindenburg comes to power, you will all pay the price." When the time comes, you may also find me to intercede for you. ”
In the hall of the Congress, Child. Meyer was shaking hands with Hindenburg. With an unabashed look of playfulness, Meyer smiled and glanced at the corner where Gustav's team was staying, and glanced in the direction of the podium.
In an instant, Meyer's smile froze on his face, and his pupils rapidly dilated.
His right hand, which was shaking with Hindenburg, suddenly felt the strength of the other party. Looking back, Hindenburg's eyes were also full of shock.
In the corner of the Congress Hall, Gustav and his party stood up in shock. They used all their strength to keep out loud at this solemn moment.
A premonition that spreads in everyone's heart. The young host on the stage happened to be the German star that each of them knew - Zhang Chengtian, the leader of the Socialist Workers' Party and supported Gustav's presidential candidacy!
On the rostrum, Zhang Chengtian, who had just taken the stage, smiled at the reporter's flashing lights and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Gustav for defeating Mr. Hindenburg, who received 49 percent of the votes, and Mr. Meyer, who received 1 percent of the votes. ”
In the corner of the congress hall, a frantic cry rose into the sky. Then, a group of members of Gustav's team blushed and shook their fists and laughed wildly.
With a broadcast delay of a few seconds, the message was transmitted to all corners of Germany.
The crowd of supporters of Gustav jumped and shouted in the streets. They used all their strength to celebrate this incredible result.
Two female Liberal Party members who remained in the office building heard the broadcast moments before they went through the procedures for quitting their lease. Tears burst out of my eyes in an instant. Two female party members cried and hugged each other.
A few months ago, the guy who came to the office building and yelled "Who did that!" The headache-inducing voice is so intimate in today's broadcast.
In the hall of the Congress, Gustav grabbed the right hand of Zhang Chengtian, who had just stepped down, in a trembling voice, and said, "God...... I won, I won! ”
Zhang Chengtian smiled and said: "I'm not God, I just snatched back justice for you." ”
In the police station, the Jewish businessmen who heard the radio were all dead. Finally closed their bombastic mouths and quietly wrote the notes.
In the square directly across from the Capitol, Police Chief Morse turned off the radio with a smile.
That's right, he knows how to be an official! That's why he ordered the Jewish merchants to be taken away.
