Chapter 1070: From Community to United States II

Hersmann spoke for a long time, and told Hitler and Goering all the plans he and Schleicher (now the leader of the Fatherland Party) had discussed in Berlin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His solution is not complicated, that is, to turn the EC into a United States of Europe on the premise of retaining the status of the EC as a member of the EU. It was also necessary to refer to the political arrangements of the United States of America to expand the rights of Germany.

This is not difficult to do, as long as the "countries" of Europe correspond to the "states" of the United States. This is because in the course of German expansion, many of the countries that were actually annexed by Germany still retain their country names.

For example, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Little Russia, the Kingdom of Belarus (the monarchs of Little Russia and White Russia are the heirs to the throne of Germany and Russia), the Grand Duchy of Slovakia, the Grand Duchy of Slovenia, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the German Empire itself is eight states. Together with the absolutely pro-German Croatia, Hungary (Croatia-Hungary is the United Kingdom, nominally two countries), Finland, eleven countries were in fact firmly under German control.

In addition, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden were all Germanic-speaking, and very German-friendly countries - the Dutch, Belgian Flemish, Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes were all Germanic-speaking people, and in the eyes of the Nazi Party, they were all their own. In fact, many Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Danish and Swedes did not treat Germans as outsiders either.

So that of the 24-25 countries that the United States of Europe may have in the future, at least 16-17 countries will either be controlled by Germany or will be of the German family - in addition to the 17 countries mentioned above, the United States of Europe will also include France, England, Scotland (the United Kingdom will also have more than one country), Spain, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, etc., and Switzerland may also join - England and Scotland among these countries are also Germanic side branches, but they are far from Germany, Therefore, it is not classified as a German family.

In addition, South Africa, which is now part of the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which is part of the United Kingdom, Quebec, which is controlled by French origin, and Israel, which is controlled by German and Polish Jews, are all likely to become members of the United States of Europe in the future.

The United States of Europe would henceforth have a maximum of 30 states, 17 of which would be under German control or part of the German family.

According to American-style democracy, the electors and congressmen of these 17 countries will be enough to influence the political direction of the United States. Even if they don't have enough advantages in the number of people.

While many of the political systems of the United States of Europe envisioned by Hersmann were learned from the United States, they were not identical. Because there are still many monarchs in Europe, and their thrones must be retained, the United States of Europe should also have an emperor or empress - the United States does not mean that there is no monarch, federalism and rules can coexist in Europe, and the empire sometimes has a president. For example, in European history, the Republic of Poland (which was actually a federation) consisting of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania had kings, and the official name of the Weimar Republic was still the German Empire. The Second German Empire was actually a confederation, and the Emperor of the German Empire should be German Caesar if transliterated, and the planned honorific title of the monarch of the United States of Europe would be Europa Caesar.

Therefore, Hersmann arranged a system of electors with European characteristics for the future United States of Europe. by the Emperor of Germany, the Tsar of Russia (Empress), the King of England (Queen), the President of France, the King of Spain (currently vacant), the King of Croatia-Hungary, the King of the Netherlands (not yet joined), the King of Belgium, the King of Denmark, the King of Sweden (also not yet joined), the King of Romania, the King of Bulgaria, the King of Greece, the President of Ireland, the King of Norway, the President of Finland, 17 electors (a monarch or president has only one vote, no matter how many countries he is also the monarch of) such as the king of Little Russia (the titular monarch of Belarus and Ukraine) voted for one Europa Caesar.

Of course, this Caesar Majesty has no real power, but is just a symbolic mascot.

"But will they really support us in doing so?" Adolph. Hitler was apparently persuaded by Hersmann.

He is now Chancellor of Germany, and his Nazi Party has supporters not only in Germany, but also in most of the Germanic countries. If there were a United States in Europe, the Nazi Party would have stepped out of Germany and become the largest party in the Germanic-speaking region. It may also be possible to control the Senate and the House of Representatives (and the upper and lower houses) of the United States of Europe.

Moreover, Hitler himself must now be the most influential politician in the United States of Europe, and if he were to be elected Prime Minister of the United States of Europe, he would certainly be elected. So as long as the political power of the Germans in the United States of Europe was secured, Hitler would certainly support the United States.

But will politicians from other countries support it?

"It should be." Hersman took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Because we're going to have 500 billion soon...... And Russia is in dire need of money, so Empress Olga must support us. The British Empire, on the other hand, had lost its navy and had no money, and had to rely on the navies of the United States of Europe and the indemnities of the United States to survive. As for France, well, France is at a loss, but as long as Britain and Russia support us, France will always have a way to convince.

Moreover, France and Germany are the center of the European economy, just like the Northeast of the United States. If the United States of Europe really appeared, what would the French economy be like? In fact, France and Germany are the real beneficiaries of European unity! ”

Adolph. Hitler understood what Hersmann meant, and the reparations of 500 billion euromarks had not yet arrived, and he had already become a big name in the hands of the reich marshal. Whoever wants to spend this money, must support.

"The Empress of Russia you go and persuade," Hitler pondered, "England...... We will definitely support us, but they cannot be expected to exert much effort, because Britain does not actually have a strong leadership group, the authority of that little queen cannot be compared with that of Olga, and the British have not forgotten about their world empire. As for France...... I will go and talk to Marshal Darlang, and if it succeeds, there is a good hope that the United States of Europe will be able to achieve it by our generation. ”

He thought for a moment and then said, "But turning the European Community into a United States is not something that a few of our leaders can decide at a meeting...... This is not the pre-19th century, and the state is not the property of a few, but belongs to the whole people. If we want to build a truly united States, the referendum process is indispensable. What we are now able to negotiate in Europa Fort is only a big framework agreement. ”

The route of unification in Europe has been dynastic wars, dynastic marriages, dynastic successions, and referendums since ancient times.

Before Europe entered civil society, it was the will of the feudal lords that played a large role in unification or secession. However, when Europe entered civil society, a referendum was an indispensable procedure. Even if Germany's proposal is supported by the majority of the leaders of the EC countries, there is no guarantee that it will be adopted in a referendum. Therefore, this meeting of the leaders of the European Community can only set a general direction, and perhaps after the victory over the United States, it will give birth to a United States of Europe -- a United States that may not include all the countries of the European Community, but which will undoubtedly bring European unity one step further, and it will be a very crucial step.

……

The Russian Empress also had a palace (actually a villa) in Europaburg, which was given to her by one of her admirers - the Empress's private life was richer than that of the young Queen of England!

Publicly, though, Marshal Hersman was always her closest male friend.

So on the night she arrived at Fort Europa on June 15 by train with a group of important ministers, female officials, and servants, the Hersmanns were rightfully guests of the Empress's Castel Anastasia (the official name of the Empress's Villa).

The Empress's banquet for the Hessman couple was as usual a list of delicacies, including fish, soup, game, chicken, and barbecue, all of which were very oily and watery Russian dishes.

However, not many people are lucky enough to enjoy these delicacies in the palatial Grand Ballroom. Tonight, the Empress of Russia rejected all invitations, and did not invite any foreign leaders who arrived at Europaburg before her, but only Hesman and Chloe, accompanied by Prince Yusupov and his wife.

"Do you really intend to unify Europe in a generation?"

After tasting some greasy dishes, the Empress and Hersman had little appetite and began to discuss business - Hersman liked a light diet, the Russian Empress had a lot of worries in her heart and was in no mood, and Chloe, who was plump and could only look at her favorite greasy food for fear of being fat.

"Nor can it be said that," Hersman took a sip of Lafite '82 (1882), "not really unified, but akin to the United States of America before the Civil War." The states under the United States would also retain considerable sovereignty and would be more independent than the states of the United States in its early days. In fact, we have only started the process of reunification, and it is impossible to predict when it will be completed. ”

"But the process of unification is irreversible," Empress Olga said, looking at Hersman, "just like America in history!" ”

She saw with certainty that, following Hersmann's path, the process of reunification of the United States of Europe would not be reversed.

For the nations of the United States had not only a common market and currency, but also a common constitution, a government, a parliament, a supreme court, an air force, a navy, and nuclear weapons.

Moreover, Hersmann and Hitler would have drawn up the procedure for amending the United States Constitution by reference to the procedure for amending the Constitution of the United States of Europe, which each passed by a two-thirds majority in both chambers and then by three-fourths of the subordinate national parliaments or national constituent assemblies.

In effect, it is to make any constitutional amendment involving the dissolution of the United States impossible!

By these measures, the countries of the United States of Europe are firmly bound together and can no longer be separated.

"So where are the interests of our Russia?" Olga had understood what was going on in the United States of Europe, and as soon as she turned to it, she asked what she was most concerned about now.

"In the short term," Hersman said, "money, of course!" If Europe has a unified government, it will be able to distribute the 500 billion Euromarks that have not yet arrived according to the needs and actual conditions of each country. And Russia will definitely get enough funds and materials for reconstruction. ”

"What about the long term?" "What does Russia have to gain in the long run?" Olga asked. ”

"In the long run," Hersman smiled faintly, "Russia always wants to be united!" Isn't the population and territory of Russia a guarantee of future benefits? ”

The Empress laughed, "That being said, but the Russians have their pride, and I can't force them to join...... But I can appeal to the people to vote in favor before the referendum. But whether it can pass or not, I'm not sure. ”

"That's enough." "With your support, Russia will eventually become a real part of Europe, and Russia's accession will mean that the European Community will become a strong, prosperous United States," Hersman said. Let us, then, now wish the United States of Europe the greatest and most splendid thousand-year empire in the history of mankind! ”

"Long live the European Millennium Empire!" The Empress of Russia also raised her glass.
