Chapter 163: Forced to Take Sides (Part I)

The German presidential election of 1925 was not an election year, but was an election that took place because of the sudden death of the incumbent president. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hans. After Luther took over the presidency, Wa~er~T. Simmons takes Hans. Luther's baton of power became the transitional president on March 12, 1925.

Voting in the presidential election has begun, and the presidential candidates and their parties have begun their final efforts. On this day, the whole of Germany was completely boiling, and the boiling also represented chaos, and all kinds of things were staged one after another, including the scandal of forcing voters to vote for, and once again let the countries concerned about the German election see the so-called German nation.

Germany has not been in contact with democracy for a long time, all kinds of jokes have never stopped, and even the constitution is a charter full of all kinds of back doors, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed.

However, Germany is not the only country that makes a "joke of freedom" in the international community, and her neighbor France has become a laughing stock because it changes its cabinet several times a year, and then the French cabinet can change its national policy several times in a few months or even a month. The French proudly proclaim: yes, that is France, the real democracy!

The arrogant French don't know how many people cover their faces for a moment, it doesn't seem to be democracy, it should be casual, if there is the participation of the army, it should be political turmoil.

After the election, there was a need for counting and counting of votes, which was not a matter of one or two days, but 15 to 20 days for Germany.

During this period of time when the votes were counted, the German political parties were frequently reshuffled, and a new round of party mergers began again, and the National Socialist Workers' Party changed its previous cautious attitude and began to make contact with various political parties.

"It's not necessary for us not to happen before, and we must grasp public opinion later!" "Controlling public opinion is also a necessary means for the rise of Germany, and we must not only let the people hear and accept our voice, but also let those parties unify our views!" ”

The crowd immediately cheered, they were dressed in uniform and everyone looked at Li Qi standing on the podium.

The uniform is really a uniform, and the National Socialist Workers' Party also had a uniform uniform, which adopted the 1915 style of the army, and the new model was introduced in 1925, which was the yellow-brown stormtrooper uniform.

For this party meeting, Litch rented the Munich Arena, a large stadium with a capacity of 20,000 people. Now, the stadium is full, and it looks crowded, and every time there is a cheer, there is a huge sound.

Naturally, Richie's speech was delivered through a megaphone. The loudspeakers of this age are not very advanced, and from time to time there will be a murmur, and if the microphone is accidentally touched, it will make a muffled sound, and the muffled sound should be followed by a sharp machine sound.

If you get close to the megaphone and suddenly sound the sharp sound of the machine, you can't say that your head will be instantly confused, and it is not impossible for the eardrum to be broken, so the megaphone is actually installed at a distance from people.

If you pay attention to the fact that there are people and machines on the scene who are filming the meeting, they are responsible for recording the proceedings of the meeting, then the shooting is actually a documentary.

The person in charge of the shooting schedule was a woman, her name was Lenny. Rising into a merchant family, Riefenstahl, 23, attended an art school in Berlin during the First World War to study modern stage and ballet, and the year after the war ended, he began a dance tour in Germany, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland.

Lenny. Refenstahl did not come from a photography background, but when she was approached and invited by the National Socialist Workers' Party in 1922, she was both excited and dazed. After that, she began to get into film and was placed in Arnold. Frank's Team Learning.

Litchie was well aware of the power of communication, and he had the idea of holding a big march, preferably in Erich. Feng. After Falkingham's election victory and becoming president of the German state, the National Socialist Workers' Party staged a victory march. Even the name of the event was decided, and it was called "Victory of the Will".

Now, Lenny. Riefenstahl is doing her best to familiarize herself with cinematography, and she has already been told to be one of the candidates for the director of the Victory Parade.

"A leader's speech is always so powerful."

"Yes, a leader's speech always resonates!"

In fact, the current photography skills are just like that, I don't know if I didn't think of it, or the photography equipment is too heavy, so I basically take the mode of fixed camera. Then, of course, it is not possible to take a live broadcast when shooting, and what is needed is to edit from the numerous tapes later.

Li Qi has tried his best not to cause a sharp hum, but it is useless, the equipment is not powerful, it is not to avoid it, so that sometimes in the middle of his speech, he needs to stop and wait for the humming of the machine to end before continuing.

It seems that no one cares about the sharp humming sound that rings from time to time, probably because they are used to it?

The speech went on, and the first thing Li Qi said after stepping down was "we need to improve the loudspeaker", and anyone who spoke happily during the speech would be unhappy if they were forced to stop. But that's about the current problem, and it takes a group of scientists who have studied the current to solve it.

The problem is that it's only 1925, and there's a year-long gap in technology, and it probably won't take until around 1930 for a similar buzz to be solved. It is because of the difficulty of radio recording that the recording machines of various radio stations are so expensive, and even the movies are mostly silent films.

When Rich finished speaking, it was the turn of the others to go up, and it was Erich. Feng. Falkingham.

Erich. Feng. Fa Kingham is still holding the manuscript and reading from the script. In fact, it is difficult to arouse any emotions in a speech that is read with a script, and no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is not the speaker's inner words after all, how can it easily resonate? Therefore, Erich. Feng. When Fa Kingham spoke, although the atmosphere was still warm, there was a kind of cheering appearance, not a cheer from the heart.

“…… Therefore, we will have a 'five-year plan' for the next step, and the reforms that will take place in Bavaria will be revised according to the actual situation in the cantons and implemented in each canton. "Erich. Feng. Falkingham himself is still very excited, he is about to become the president of Germany, and he can't be excited. He added: "The plan was drawn up by leaders and economic experts, with the participation of Goering and Hitler......"

The Five-Year Plan is an economic development plan that was formulated two years ago, and there are many steps, and the plan alone is a thick book, and it is difficult to describe it in a few words. At the same time, it also involves the international situation, after all, Germany is a defeated country, and it is burdened with unimaginable war reparations.

"Leader, Mr. Luther is in the conference room." Joseph. Dietrich kept his voice down as best he could: "Smith is also waiting. Mr. Walker. ”

Yankee? It was the consul in charge of Bavaria, not the ambassador in Berlin. I don't know if the United States doesn't need to pay too much attention to it, or if it thinks acquaintances are easy to talk to.

Hans. Luther has stepped down as acting president, but he is still chancellor, but soon he will become vice chancellor and president of Deutsche Bank.

Smith. Walker is the consul of Bavaria, and it is reported that he will become the next US ambassador to Germany. In this way, he is blessed by Richie.

Of course, there are conference rooms in the gymnasium, but Li Qi can't just walk away, especially since the speaker on stage is the soon-to-be president Erich. Feng. Falkingham once Richie was in Erich. Feng. When Falkingham leaves during his speech, there must be countless interpretations, and now is the moment when there should be no surprises.

Thankfully, Erich. Feng. Falkingham's speech was not long, and the speech ended quickly.

Subsequently, the heads of each region began to take turns on the stage, and instead of giving speeches, they presented their experiences and talked about some of their experiences, just like the plenary meeting.

"Alright." Litchie simply talked to Erich. Feng. Falkingham gave a briefing on the situation, and then said, "Let's go over together." ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham nodded in silence, looking at him with a thoughtful expression, as if he was confused by something.

When Litchie and the others arrived, Hans. Luther waited with Smith. Walker talks about some financial things, and the two meet with Litchie and Erich. Feng. Falkingham came in and stood up in unison.

"Congratulations, Mr. President." Smith. Walker first greeted Erich as courtesy. Feng. Falkingham later said to Richie: "Your Excellency, your art of operation is incomparable. ”

It seems that there is no taste of sowing discord, after all, if you have to count it seriously, the soon-to-be president of Erich. Feng. Falkingham really deserves to be greeted first, especially Smith. Walker came as a consul, not as a private person.

Erich. Feng. Falkingham politely gave him a polite gesture and stepped to his seat.

"Mr. Consul." Richie & Smith. Walker shook hands, then said, "What happened to make you rush over?" ”

Of course, you can't stand and speak, everyone sits down, and then Smith. Walker spoke, "That's right. I know from some sources that the leader will have some business dealings with the Rothschilds? ”

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and nodded: "That's normal business practice, it seems to be ...... It's not a state affair, is it? ”

Germany only restricts military personnel from participating in politics, but they only need to retire to participate in politics, but it has never restricted government personnel from owning their own enterprises or companies, let alone political parties from owning their own industries. Richie reached a contract with the Rothschilds for the purchase of some resources, and the process was not kept secret.

"Don't get me wrong, leader." Smith. Walker smiled and said, "I came here this time, first, to congratulate your party on becoming the ruling party, and then to reach a cooperation with the leader. ”

Only then did Richie have a smile on his face, and he motioned to Smith. Walker continued.

"It's no secret that we're competing with the UK for currency status. The reason why we are competing with Britain for currency status is to reach a new world economic system. "Smith. Walker laughs all the time, which makes people look very relatable, but even if this is true for ordinary people, it is really difficult to say how much effect it can have on politicians who are also playing politics. He rambled for a moment before he said: "The new world economic system is also good for Germany, at least Germany is now settled in dollars, not pounds." Therefore, we ask the leaders to consider settling their transactions with the Rothschilds in US dollars, rather than still using the British pound. ”

At that moment, everyone present at the National Socialist Workers' Party could not help but look at their leader, Li Qi. Most of their faces have a kind of naturalness, in addition to admiration, it is admiration, all just because Li Qi dug this hole, isn't it just waiting for the Americans to find their own door?

"Smith, we're old friends, and I don't need to talk too much about politics." Richie paused to see Smith. Walker agreed, and then continued: "Britain is the world hegemon, and the United States can challenge it, but Germany may not." For Germany, yes, the current German economy depends on the United States, but the German economy has been in a very bad state. We don't mean to blame, but you ...... I'm talking about the capitalists who really went too far. ”

"Leader, Germany's economy is in a bad state, and that's because of the huge reparations, not ......" Smith. Walker was stopped in the middle of his sentence by Richie's raised hand.

"So, Smith, I'm going to be open and honest, and please don't prevaricate with diplomatic rhetoric, or we'll probably not need to talk." The expression on Li Qi's face gradually became serious: "We all know one thing, and we recognize that point, there is always a need to be rewarded for what you pay, business behavior is attributed to business behavior, and at the same time, businessmen's pursuit of profit should not be harshly criticized." ”

Smith. Walker shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, Leader, I apologize for what just happened. ”

"Britain was very close to us, too close and too close, and Germany after the defeat could not confront Britain, so we have always avoided taking sides." Litch is talking about the actions of the Weimar government, not his. "Our party is committed to restoring every aspect of Germany, and England, which is so close to us, has great influence," he said. ”

It's like having something to do with the Rothschilds' choice of settlement currency, but in fact it's exactly what kind of exchange is the most relevant.

"This time I can promise it, but at the cost that it will be difficult for us to try to reconcile with the British, and we will lose all our efforts." Richie looked at Smith very seriously. Walker, tugging at the corners of his mouth, asked, "What do you think...... Or what choice do you think we should make? (To be continued.) )
