Chapter 155: The General Election Begins

Election...... It's about to start, but the presidential candidate is still blank in the final month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If history hadn't been changed, it would have been Paul now. Feng. Those in the Hindenburg line went around making promises, coercing, coercing, inducing, in short, dissuading all kinds of people who wanted to run for the presidency.

History, of course, has been changed, but Richie didn't do Paul. Feng. The ones that Hindenburg would do. At the moment the support of the National Socialist Workers' Party is high enough to win this election openly, so why use the means?

In the final half month of the presidential candidacy, Richie and Erich. Feng. Falkingham went to sign up together.

Erich. Feng. When Fa Jinhan faced reporters' questions, he looked like he cherished words like gold, and he would make up a long discussion when necessary. He proudly replied about what had happened in Bavaria, saying, "We have done well enough in the last six years to have the confidence and ability to make the whole of Germany slowly become the same as Bavaria." ”

Bavaria is a jewel in Germany! Over the past six years, Bavaria has repeatedly shown the whole of Germany and the world what the "Bavarian model" is, a near-miraculous vision of recovery, a place full of turmoil and a place with a social welfare system that can only be praised if it is not too biased.

"Then everything came about under Mr. Richie's rule." The reporter seemed to be deliberately making things difficult: "What does it have to do with Your Excellency?" ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham laughed "haha", laughing more heartily, he said: "Yes, yes, it is the credit of the leader, but I am a member of the National Socialist Workers' Party, and we pay attention to collective strength. He suddenly became serious: "The country is not a person who can govern well, what is needed is a team. Bavaria, including Saxony, Mecklenburg, Baden-WΓΌrttemberg, etc., has proven to have a good team. ”

The reporter couldn't see the trouble for Erich. Feng. Falkingham, presumably because of Erich. Feng. Falkingham, who used to be a marshal and is now the leader of the Junkers military group, did not want to leave any trouble, so he turned to Richie.

"Rumor has it that His Excellency Falkingham, if elected, will appoint you prime minister?" The reporter paused, and said in a tone full of doubts: "Is this a kind of private delegation of authority?" ”

"Under the terms of the Weimar Charter, the president has the power to appoint anyone as chancellor." Li Qi looked serious and said: "Every president will think about how to govern the country before running for election, and he naturally has a cabinet candidate in mind. ”

The reporter said: "You did not answer my question directly. ”

"Is moral will no longer a free country?" Li Qi smiled and said, "People are no longer free to choose how to speak?" ”

"Speaking of freedom, you gave a speech in Congress in which you claimed that democratic freedoms would be gradually abolished, and even that they would be banned altogether if necessary." The reporter paused again and said in a sharp tone: "Are there two kinds of freedom in your eyes?" ”

"There are only two kinds of people in my eyes, except for men and women, and the rest are patriots and unpatriots." Li Qi was not polite at all, and asked directly: "May I ask Mr. Reporter, are you a patriot or an unpatriot?" ”

The reporter was stunned for a moment before he said: "Patriotism and freedom...... What does it matter. ”

"It's a big deal!" Li Qi glanced around and said: "Patriotism sometimes requires giving up freedom, just like giving up freedom to go to the battlefield when the country needs it, obeying the orders of the commander, even if you know that you will die, you will charge." I don't know if you've ever lived in the military? ”

The reporter wanted to change the topic, but Li Qi didn't give up easily at all, and in the end he seemed to be robbed by momentum and was forced to answer: "Yes, people of our age will basically have a military life." ”

"Good!" Li Qi looked serious and asked, "Then please tell me, does the army allow freedom?" ”

The journalist could not open his eyes and tell nonsense, he replied: "The army does not allow freedom and should not allow it." ”

"That's great." Li Qi smiled and said, "The army needs to be disciplined to be strong, and freedom is equal to casualness." The country has a legal system, there are special measures when it is difficult, and no one can deny that Germany is in a misfortune at the moment, so the misfortune can be reversed, provided that you temporarily give up your freedom and know how to be united, as a patriot, are you willing? ”

The reporter wanted to say something else, but under Richie's persecutive eyes, he swallowed his saliva and had to answer: "Yes, if I can make the country better, I am willing." ”

Germany has just been defeated for a few years, and almost all the grievances and humiliations have been suffered, and it can be said that the people of the whole country are at the most glassy moment, no matter what anyone does...... In particular, politicians will always talk about patriotism, and their favorite thing is to use patriotism to suppress others.

Once it comes to patriotic issues, unless it is a particularly heartless person, who dares to stand on the side of unpatriotism?

The next few questions were more peaceful, and they were nothing more than asking about the governing philosophy or something, and then how it would change a series of misfortunes in Germany.

Erich. Feng. Fakingham is a soldier, and he has always been a soldier, and he doesn't want to think about how vivid he is, answering questions dryly, and holding a face from time to time.

Richie was only active in the process when necessary, he did not change his image, and he has always taken a strong line.

The National Socialist Workers' Party put forward its own candidates, and the next day a number of people went to register their presidential candidates, and Germany was not a "false democracy" at this moment.

There is only Paul in history. Feng. Hindenburg's bid for the first democratically elected presidential election was described by the international community as a "sham democracy". In fact, that's really a bit of a head, only in the election of the leaders of some **** countries will be a person, and it will definitely be criticized.

A total of 37 people signed up for Germany's first presidential election, and they came from a variety of groups, some of whom had political parties behind them, and some of whom were independents.

"Then there is no reason for the international community to criticize." Richie stared at Erich. Feng. "Of the thirty-seven people who signed up to run, none of them will pose a threat to us. ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham, who did not understand democracy, was actually antipathetic to it, saying: "It's terrible that the leader of the country is produced in such a noisy way." ”

Germany is indeed noisy, mainly because there is only one threshold for signing up for the presidential election, that is, you need to have German nationality, and I have to say that that is one of the biggest loopholes in the election system.

In other countries, to run for the presidency, you need not only nationality, but also tax records, a certain amount of fixed assets, and in some countries, you need to have a base of popular support.

Yes, there is no **** in Germany's presidential election, that is, several rounds of qualification elections are held, and the general election that determines victory or defeat is directly launched, which is equivalent to being in place at one time.

Thirty-seven people have signed up to run for president, which is estimated to be unprecedented in the history of any country in the world. The people who signed up were really people of any status, but the government still accepted the registration, and one of them belonged to the homeless (beggar), and after being reported by the international community, most of them were ridiculing, and many were praising Germany for truly getting democracy.

Come on! Becoming a president is a superior ruler, but in the game of playing the family game, even if you have no assets or anything, how can you have a certain degree of education? I really don't know what those who praise meant.

Running for the presidency is not a matter of signing up, Erich. Feng. Falkingham had to travel all over the country to give speeches, not only Erich. Feng. Fakeham, and in fact the National Socialist Workers' Party acted as a whole, distributing work and zoning. At the same time, they also made recordings and used the radio system set up in Bavaria to "bomb" the whole of Germany 24 hours a day.

Radio was not an uncommon thing in those days, and a slightly more relaxed family would basically have a radio at home.

The truth must be said that even with the widespread use of radio, the number of radio stations in various countries is still limited, and the radio programs can only be described as lackluster.

Who is Richie? He is a time-traveler, and he wants to do something, and the most advantageous thing is that there are too many things to learn from.

The Bavarian state has a radio station, and some arrangements that have been played rotten in later generations have been brought to the present world, such as a time period to tell a story, a certain time period to play a song, and a time period to review current affairs, and how colorful the program should be.

Within a few years, Radio Bavaria had become the most listened to station in Germany, with a loyal audience in Austria, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, France and Italy. Of course, because Radio Bavaria broadcasts in German, the majority of radio stations are still in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The presidential election is just like that, it is nothing more than all-round propaganda coverage, in addition to promoting their own political participation ideas, that is, saying some things that the people love to hear.

At present, the German people love to hear the most about changing misfortunes, such as the abolition of the Treaty of Versailles, and using some examples to incite the people's national hatred, and whoever speaks more radically is more popular.

The presidential candidate put forward by the National Socialist Workers' Party is the most likely person, so it is only natural that the countries will attach great importance to the ideas propagated by the National Socialist Workers' Party, and who will care about those who are not likely to be elected no matter how they look at it?

In Richie and Erich. Feng. Under the farewell of Falkingham and others, Wasser. Funk, Adolf. Hitler, Hermann. Goering, Hugo. Junkers and others took a plane to begin their visit.

There is no mistake that the National Socialist Workers' Party's visit this time was mainly by airplane, and the plane was a four-engine large passenger plane jointly developed by the Junkers Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the Messersmid Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and the Heinkel Aircraft Company.

Named the Seagull, the large passenger aircraft is known for its long range, it is the world's first passenger aircraft made of an all-metal frame, and the world's first passenger aircraft that can carry 30 passengers, including flight attendants.

In 1924, the Seagull large passenger plane successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean to reach the United States, causing a great sensation at that time. It was a flying object that could use flight mode to directly cross the ocean after the Zeppelin.

According to the design, the maximum range of the Seagull large passenger aircraft is 8,500 kilometers, because it requires a long flight, and the seemingly huge fuselage takes into account the relationship between fuel reserves, and the free space becomes only 30 passengers.

The emergence of transoceanic planes in Germany is both a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is naturally the result of Litchie's series of arrangements, and the bad thing is that the range and carrying capacity have worried countries. Fortunately, although the Seagull 1 has a high endurance, the air limit and flight speed are very slow, and although countries are worried, they do not use strong measures.

"Leader, guests have been waiting for a long time." Sgart. Wirtz is now the head of the whole of Munich, no longer just Erding. "They desperately need an explanation," he said. ”

The so-called guests were nothing more than people sent by various countries, and the National Socialist Workers' Party had been propagating the abrogation of the Treaty of Versailles, and they always needed some explanation, believe it or not.

The consuls in Munich were the same people as they had been at the beginning, and when Litch met with them, it was only a homely conversation, and it was only when the recorders on both sides were in place that the atmosphere began to turn serious.

Consul of France, Basille. Maupassant and the Belgian consul Bentka. Hazard was the one who cared most about whether Germany would abide by the Treaty of Versailles, but the two consuls of the United States and Great Britain were dispensable.

In fact, Germany had already violated the Treaty of Versailles in 1922, when the German economy was so devastated that it could not repay the reparations under the treaty. At that time, Britain and the United States were on the side of the Weimar government, isolating the relatively hard-line France, which made France forced to join forces with Belgium to send troops to occupy the Ruhr in Germany, and then Britain and the United States carried out diplomatic pressure to force France and Belgium to evacuate the Ruhr.

"Everybody knows what the election is all about, and if you want to get the support of the people, you can only say something that they want to hear." With a smile on his face, Li Qi said, "Isn't this the case in all countries? ”

"So that means that the German people refused to fulfill the Treaty of Versailles?" Benteka. Hazard's face was full of unhappiness: "In this way, we have to wonder if we have not punished Germany enough!" (To be continued.) )
