Chapter 154: Congressional Speech Incident (Part II)
The abolition of the Treaty of Versailles is something that almost all parties talk about, and what is much more radical than Litchie's remarks is that the occasion of his speech is a little wrong, and he makes relevant remarks in Congress, which seems extremely formal.
There are also many people who talk about improving the current state of the domestic economy and restoring the social welfare system, and it can be said that as long as it is a party candidate, it will promise to the people, but except for the National Socialist Workers' Party, including the ruling party, they are only shouting.
There are almost no parties that say they want to expand the army, the international environment is too bad, Germany is a defeated country, and the Treaty of Versailles has relevant provisions, stipulating that once Germany breaks the rule that it cannot expand its army, it is equivalent to declaring war on the signatories.
The Treaty of Versailles has a bit of a large number of signatories, and more than half of the world's independent countries are signatories, so breaking the Treaty of Versailles is tantamount to declaring war on the signatories, and the cost seems to be too great to be boundless?
Those who listened to Richie's speech were shocked, and they seemed to be unable to believe that anyone dared to speak so much in a formal speech at the whole country.
It is important to know that politicians can shout their ideals and promote their ideas, but that is basically a kind of political show in an informal setting, and it is not the same thing as making a commitment in a formal setting.
This time, the National Assembly broadcast to the national audience, so it should not just be a speech, and if you don't want to be perceived by the voters as untrustworthy, you should do part of it.
What is Richie promising for? He promised to abolish the Treaty of Versailles, improve the domestic economy, restore social welfare, and expand the army. See if there's anything that can be easily done? At a glance, there is nothing easy to do, and any one of them is a big trouble!
It was precisely because of the great trouble that no one dared to make a promise to the whole German people in the form of a national broadcast, so the parliamentarians and some parties at the Reichstag were stunned. The people who listen to the radio in front of the radio are boiling, and they finally wait for a responsible person to dare to make such a promise in a formal setting.
Next, Li Qi came to a full circle, he was talking about following the established laws and obtaining state power in a legal way, and he said that after gaining state power, democracy and freedom would be abolished, and he only shouted, "You all listen to me!" But many people in Germany eat this set.
Germany had democracy and freedom, but it was a disaster, and more than one person remembered the time when the country had only one person who had the final say, and in those years they had at least work, and even if they didn't have work, they had the help of the social welfare system.
Democracy and freedom did not benefit Germany...... It may be wrong to say that there is a benefit to a certain part of the people, who go from being nothing to being able to jump on the political stage and spill to their heart's content, but for ordinary people, democracy and freedom give them only endless disasters!
"Yes, I would propose a set of laws restricting political parties, strictly controlling the number of political parties. There are now more than 4,000 legal political parties in Germany, and the number of illegal political parties is too many to count. We have experienced six years of chaos caused by too many political parties, and every city has rarely been without gunfire, and they have not only used armed parties to fight each other, but also wantonly harassed the people, as if they had become the main culprits in the destruction of public order. This situation cannot continue! ”
In the Congress, a small number of noisy members are already lying on the ground, they were really beaten up very badly just now, but they are also suffering from flesh and skin, and there is absolutely no broken hands and feet.
As members of the National Socialist Workers' Party, they have now returned to each of them, and under the leadership of Rich, they sang "Germany above all else".
Richie's speech to Congress has been fermenting.
There is no need to talk much about the military, because it is not a day or two that they are eager to break through the shackles of the "100,000 Army," and the leader of a political party, especially that party, who has the strength to become the ruling party, is naturally overjoyed.
The reaction of the various political parties is rather strange, except for a few parties that chose to take sides from the beginning, such as the Fatherland Party and the German People's Party, the rest even the Catholic~Catholic Central Party is silent for a while.
One thing that the political parties had in common was that they felt that Mr. Richie was too bold to openly argue with the powers of the League of Nations and await the reaction of Britain and France. In the event of a violent reaction in Britain and France, some of the German parties had to jump on their feet.
Strangely, Britain and France, as the victors of the last war, simply expressed their concern and seemed to have reacted too blandly. Instead, Belgium jumped up and down in the League of Nations, along with Italy and Poland, and the three countries united to clamor for punishment. There is another country that is more contradictory, and that is the United States.
The United States was not part of the League of Nations, and they did not even have any war treaties with Germany, except for some treaties that were not the last war, such as the Dawes Plan, which was intended to control the German currency.
"Yes, we will not break the previous agreement between the government and you, and we will even welcome further access to your capital into Germany." Adolph. Hitler was on behalf of Litch to meet with Owen. D. Younger. "Time will tell," he said. ”
Irving. D. Younger was one of the American economic experts who participated in the Paris Peace Conference and is now a member of the Dawes Plan committee. He was one of the more sympathetic to Germany, and he repeatedly stated in public that Germany should pay reparations to various countries every year, depending on the actual situation, rather than ignoring the deteriorating internal economy of Germany.
Of course, just look at Owen. D. Young, who was a member of the Dawes Project committee, should have known that sympathy may be true, but ...... It did not prevent him from wanting to put Germany in a situation from which he could never recover.
"What politicians say, it's just a pre-election gimmick." Irving. D. Younger chuckled and said, "We understand. However, in order not to cause misunderstanding, we need to get some basis that is conducive to the continued cooperation between the two sides, that is, to abolish all kinds of 'votes', after all, Germany has a fiat currency, and you are about to become the ruling party, and then use all kinds of 'votes', how can you convince the people that you have confidence in the economy? ”
A wide variety of tickets? It was some meal tickets and the like, popular among the many factories and farms in Bavaria, because the tickets were indeed able to be exchanged for the desired goods, resulting in all kinds of tickets being stronger than the current Deutschmark, at least the ticket will not depreciate three times a day, but the Deutsche Mark will.
Adolph. Hitler, on the other hand, laughed and said, "It is nothing but the internal system of individual factories and farms themselves." ”
Irving. D. Younger was also laughing, he said: "So, this is a promise that will not be fully promoted? ”
Adolph. Hitler nodded: "Yes, this is the promise of the National Socialist Workers' Party not to be fully promoted." ”
"So......" Owen. D. Younger added: "Do we think that it is possible to prohibit the spread of similar systems in the form of laws? ”
Adolph. Hitler shook his head: "We can't make relevant laws, just as your country can't interfere with the rules and regulations of private enterprises that don't conflict with national law." The root cause of all this is the lack of confidence in the economy of the population, and also because the mark is not pegged to gold. We don't have gold, so naturally we can't peg it to gold, and now the mark is pegged to the dollar, but ......," said Owen. D. Younger smiled and continued: "It's up to you to decide how many dollars Mark can get in exchange. ”
That being said, whether Germany's economy can improve or not depends on the Yankees. The Yankees' current strategy is to completely destroy the German economic system, so that even if they can prevent the German economy from sliding into the abyss, they will not do it!
During the Second German Reich, 1 pound was equal to 20 marks, and 1 dollar was equal to 4 marks......
It is said that it is because the reparations related to the "Treaty of Versailles" destroyed the German economy after the war, and then the Yankees played the role of justice and angels, but as long as the smart people can see that the "Treaty of Versailles" may be destroying the German economy, but what will really make the German economy unrecoverable are some measures of the Yankees.
Adolph. Hitler, naturally, was not going to be with Owen. D. Younger talks about those, some things are useless, and if you say it, you will tear your face. Therefore, Adolf. Hitler was in a relationship with Owen. D. Younger talks about cooperation, for example, they are going to make a round trip on behalf of the National Socialist Workers' Party in the hope that they will be able to reach constructive cooperation when they arrive in the United States.
As for the National Socialist Workers' Party's intention to send a delegation, anyone who had an intelligence organization in Germany already knew in advance, after all, the National Socialist Workers' Party did not hide it at all, but instead hyped it up and contacted the ambassadors of various countries in Berlin.
Adolph. Hitler to Owen. D. Younger hinted that their visit was actually with the intention of purchasing, and as for how much they would spend in the United States, it depends on the attitude of the United States.
The U.S. economy is booming right now...... Fake, of course! Irving. D. Younger is an economic expert, how can he not know that the economic prosperity of the United States is fragile, just look at the products that are produced in large quantities but cannot be sold.
Britain is wantonly expelling the Jewish chaebol syndicates, and most of those Jewish consortia have fled to the United States, and at present, the local conglomerates in the United States are fighting with the Jewish consortia that have crossed the ocean in the economic field, further aggravating the economic chaos in the United States, stirring up even the most professional economic experts to be a little foggy.
In general, who is willing to bring real money to the United States for consumption now, for American businessmen is God, and there is no reason why the US government should not be hospitable.
Richie now has five tons of gold in the United States, and if all of it were spent in the United States, it would be a great thing for the Americans who are in a currency battle with the United Kingdom.
Of course, the Yankees also knew that Richie also had five tons of gold in England, and they also had intelligence that Richie also had two tons of gold in France.
No one is interested in knowing where Richie's gold came from, because they guess that it is probably a gift from various royal families to Richie, after all, the collapse of the Second German Empire is a collapse, but those royal families who are not tens of hundreds of years old, if there is no wealth is a joke, right?
Most people think that Li Qi must still have wealth in his hands, and they don't care how much wealth Li Qi has, what they care about is how Li Qi wants to spend that wealth.
Irving. D. Younger would not have pressed Adolf Hitler too much, and even if Richie had the wealth of the royal family, would he be able to contend with the overall economic strength of the country? What they need to prevent now is that Richie will import gold into England again, because some of their intelligence shows that Richie has shipped another five tons of gold to England, and the British have made some private agreements with Richie over that five tons of gold.
Yes, Litchie shipped another five tons of gold to England, and the latter batch of gold was really produced by the original royal families of Germany, among which the Hohenzollerns and Wittelsbach families contributed the most. They definitely wanted to get back to the German stage, and Leach didn't shy away from promises.
Britain and the United States are competing for the status of the world's currency, and whoever sends gold to Britain is now a friend of Britain. Leach needed to be friends with Britain, even if it was to offend the United States in some way, because the United States was as far away as Europe by an Atlantic, and Britain was only one English Channel from Europe.
In addition, Richie knows better than anyone what kind of isolationism the Yankees are about to start playing, and the Yankees will play their own "long live isolation" behind closed doors, and it is definitely a very joking thing to count on befriending the Yankees and making the Yankees help in the next few decades.
To offend the United States is to be subjected to some economic suppression, but to offend Britain is not so simple, Richie's account is extremely clear, if he is definitely chosen, he chooses to temporarily stand on the side of Britain instead of the United States.
The Congressional speech incident continued to ferment, and a new round of public opinion polls came out, and the National Socialist Workers' Party's national support rate was 62%, which really surprised some people who originally wanted to watch a good show.
A political party can win 62% of the vote on a national scale, and anyone who knows how to play elected politics should be dumbfounded, which means that the presidency already belongs to the National Socialist Workers' Party.
Other socialists who have been waiting for the international community to put pressure on the National Socialist Workers' Party for a long time have been waiting for inconsequential editorials, but they have been disappointed that the countries have expressed their welcome to the National Socialist Workers' Party's delegation, and at the same time they can only far-fetched propaganda that the National Socialist Workers' Party's visit will definitely betray the interests of the country.
Will it be betrayed? Maybe! Who makes politics full of compromises, and in order to achieve a certain goal, a little concession is unavoidable! (To be continued.) )
