Chapter 153: Congressional Speech Incident (I)

The Juncker Group has a long history, and usually the existence of a group involves the word "long", which is bound to be very complicated internally. A group with a long history and a large enough size is destined to have a variety of ideas, such as the current Juncker group, which is complex enough.

A group of people from the top of the class, who wanted to turn themselves over, fought a war under their leadership in the Second German Reich with no chance of victory. The war had already come to fruition, and there was no doubt that the Second German Reich had been defeated, the various royal families had come to an end, and the Junkers military clique had suffered a serious blow.

In fact, the script was different from what some in the Juncker military clique imagined. According to their deduction, the German imperial family collapsed, and the "masters" who ruled the kingdoms and principalities also collapsed, and those victorious countries must need to support agents to govern the country, but those victorious countries did not choose to support the Junkers who had a foundation in Germany, as written in the script, but chose the Socialists with a very weak background.

The fact that the various Socialists had become the rulers of the country lacked the foundation to rule the country led to constant internal turmoil in Germany and was unable to effectively stabilize the country.

It's really hard to say whether the Junkers have civil affairs talents, and the script they wrote may be wishful thinking at all. The victorious countries need proxies, but why should they support Juncker, why should they hope that Germany will remain stable, and they should hope that Germany will fall into turmoil?

A chaotic and turbulent Germany is the Germany that some of the great powers want, and only when Germany is weak and weak can they have no threat to them, and they can take it from Germany. So, the Junkers were wrong when they first wrote the script, exposing their strategic shortcomings.

The Junkers military clique, which has been suppressed for six consecutive years, has entered an unprecedented state of weakness, and if it were not for the trouble on the Polish side, the Juncker military clique would not have ushered in a relatively relaxed environment. In this way, part of the Juncker military group's layout played a small role, although because of their layout, Germany lost more.

What do you mean? Isn't it the Juncker military clique that supported Poland's united front and instigated Kaiser Wilhelm II to establish a puppet Poland? Poland can be so fierce after the restoration of the country, it is inseparable from the large amount of armaments left behind by the German army when it retreats, or where would Poland, which had just been restored, arm hundreds of thousands of people with weapons to invade Belarus and Western Ukraine.

If Poland had been so violent, instead of giving the Soviet army a counterattack, it was still advancing vigorously from the last moment, and the next moment it became the Battle of Warsaw, the Juncker military group really messed up that time!

It's not the first time that the Junkers have messed up, they not only messed up, but they also smashed themselves halfway, because the Lair of the Junkers was swallowed by the Poles!

Had it not been for East Prussia and other places becoming Polish territory, the Junkers military clique would not have become so weak in an instant, and the Socialists would have been able to suppress them at will. Tell me, is this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?

Without Richie's history, the Juncker military clique would have split into two parts on its own.

One is, of course, the group headed by Hindenburg, who are still committed to wanting to be the masters of the country, and they really reap the rewards of Hindenburg becoming president. However, this part of the Junkers Group is worthy of being a product that specializes in making wedding dresses, so even if it is really in power, it has not achieved anything, and finally let the mustache easily integrate and receive.

The other part is the original Western Front faction, they really want to be tired of the war, do not get involved in the Hindenburg lineage, either retire as a public servant, or run a business, but it must be explained that they are really afraid of the war breaking out again. This part of Juncker, their people in the government, are basically so-called anti-war people, many of them have become important government officials or high-ranking military officials, acting as "Allied spies", even if they have no direct contact with the Allied countries, they are doing their best to drag the mustache back.

In fact, Richie was because of Erich. Feng. Falkingham's accession was tantamount to taking over the Western Front faction in the Junkers military bloc. That's right, the same faction that is full of traitors, and he is very, very depressed, because he can't remember many names at all, except for a few people.

The few people whose names Richie remembered didn't seem to be anything special at the moment, they were casually feeling that Germany was being treated unfairly, and wanted to change Germany or revitalize Germany, but it was a guy named Canaris who paid great attention to him, and the reason for this was that Canaris was too "notorious".

If we talk about the era when the mustache was in power, why were so many Junkers who first supported it, and then changed it to opposition, and carried out endless assassinations, it is probably because those Junkers did not see that there was any hope of victory in the war. But there is a small group of people who have supported the mustache from the beginning with a different purpose, and after the mustache succeeded, they did not get the imaginary benefits, and then they opposed.

Li Qi didn't dare to leave hidden dangers inside, so he found that one was basically either not reused, or caught by a mistake and expelled, or even solved directly by the secret forces.

What? Just think there's a threat and get rid of it right away? Politics and war are not children's games, the heart is not black, the hands are not ruthless, go home and farm, don't harm yourself and the collective, what kind of political game to play.

Li Qi didn't come to Berlin to be a good guy, he made a position for himself from the beginning, he came to be a strong party, and if necessary, he also needed to be a big bad guy.

Germany likes bad guys, at least in some ways, subconsciously obeying the stronger. Therefore, Rich's first appearance in the Reichstag was with a strong attitude, and he gave a speech to a dense crowd of parliamentarians, openly stating that he would do everything possible to remove any injustice from Germany and find back the glory that belonged to Germany in the past.

By the time the Weimar government came to power, Litch was the first politician to say at the National Assembly that he wanted to abolish the Treaty of Versailles, and then in front of the media of various countries that he wanted to restore the glory of Germany. Not only did he say that, but he also made it clear to the legislators that he would abolish the chaotic democracy and that it would be necessary to carry out an absolute dictatorship.

“…… We don't need much democracy right now, which is the root cause of cholera in the country. What we need is power to restore stability to the country from chaos! ”

Richie's speech was broadcast live and live. He is tantamount to making a declaration in a certain sense in front of some people in the whole country and even in foreign countries who can be affected by the radio waves.

“…… We would draft a bill that would make the Bolsheviks illegal in Germany. The political party system will be reformed so that political parties will no longer be allowed to disrupt social order. ”

At this point, there was already a "bombing" in the parliament, and not only some Bolshevik parliamentarians, but also parliamentarians from other parties stood up, and there were people who spoke anything, and even greeted the female family members on the spot.

“…… There will no longer be even one member of parliament to be able to participate in Congress, and the threshold will be increased upwards to reduce unnecessary confusion. Any political party that disrupts the order of society will be considered illegal! ”

I don't know where the leather shoes came from and smashed them into Richie, but he easily avoided them, and his speech did not end. After he finished talking about political parties, he began to turn to people's livelihood and the economy.

The livelihood of the people in Germany is mainly social welfare, but social welfare is already in a state of non-existence in many places, after all, the government is so poor that it cannot even pay the salaries of officials, where is the money to maintain social welfare?

Why did Richie let the speech go live? His tough stance was aimed at making the listeners understand the basic attitude of the National Socialist Workers' Party. When it comes to people's livelihoods, they first talk about the current state of social welfare in Bavaria, and then promise to gradually promote the "Bavarian model" throughout the country. Of course, this is only if the National Socialist Workers' Party becomes the ruling party.

The German people are not so concerned about who becomes president or the ruling party, and after six years of chaos and hardship, they feel that it is useless to lead their government, except to point all the calamities to the harsh treatment of Germany by the victorious powers. Against this backdrop, it's not just one or two groups that want a tough-nosed leader, it's the vast majority of people who want an iron-fisted figure to come to power.

Of course, Richie's speech was not purely to cater to the expectations of the people, but he really did what he said, outlawing the chaotic political parties and monitoring them. According to him, small political parties are the source of chaos, they are an uncontrollable part of society, and they are a cancer in society.

The fact is that there are really too many political parties in Germany now, to what extent? If the name of a political party is not repeated, it means that the person who chose the name has no vision. Even in the case of the National Socialist Workers' Party, there are 37 duplicate names in the official records, forcing the government to mark the location of its headquarters or the name of the party leader to make it easier to distinguish between them.

There are so many political parties, and the number of votes they can get is naturally limited, and they will use any method to gain support, bribery is the mildest method, such as threats, kidnappings, intimidation, etc., and the most outrageous thing is that on election day, party members will patrol the streets and homes with weapons in hand.

Tens of thousands of political parties, God knows why there are so many, and they and the Bolsheviks are considered the two major public evils of Germany, but Litchie has tested it, and the polls are more than 95% hoping that someone can stop this chaos.

In addition to the troubles caused by too many political parties and non-regularities, the people are most eager for the restoration of social welfare, and then to have their own jobs.

Rich, who had been in charge of Bavaria for six years, had already developed a tried and tested policy based on the current state of affairs in Germany, somewhat akin to a cooperative commune, but a joint venture between the state and the private sector to provide as many jobs as possible.

In fact, it is not difficult to provide jobs, and starting a national project is the best way to provide many jobs, but how can the state start the project if it has no money?

Li Qi could learn from the experience of the mustache, what land is pegged to the currency, what kind of "land mark" to be made, but the question is ...... The German currency is now in the hands of the Americans. He used another method, which is why it is similar to a cooperative commune, that is, to make lottery tickets, meat tickets, bread tickets, paper towel tickets...... A wide variety of tickets.

Of course, all kinds of tickets cannot be laid by the whole society, after all, Li Qi has to consider the reaction of the Yankees, and it can only be a kind of private system of enterprises involved in the spread of factories involving shares. Even so, the Yankees have repeatedly approached Li Qi, either to warn or advise, anyway, to tell Li Qi not to do that, thanks to Li Qi has already tackled key problems, first to ensure that there will be no extravagance, and then to take out genuine gold and plan to go to the United States for a large purchase, and the Yankees shut up a little.

Richie's speech continued, and he talked about his, and there was already a fight below.

It is not uncommon for parliamentarians to fight, but it is strange that the members of the National Socialist Workers' Party were on the side of the drama in the past, but now they are fighting with people.

You must know that the National Socialist Workers' Party has 39% of the seats in the National Assembly, and then it is friendly with the largest party, the Tian~Catholic~Church Central Party, and when it is provoked by the crowd, it is directly pounced on and beaten, so it is a bit inappropriate to say that the brawl is a bit inappropriate, it is they who caught a group of lawmakers who scolded fiercely and were hanging.

The National Socialist Workers' Party's first appearance in the National Assembly frightened many people, all because the National Socialist Workers' Party MPs were fighting too organized, not like a street fight, and it was simply the regular army sweeping through the rabble.

Anyone who sits on the radio on any occasion hears that Mr. Richie is giving a speech, mixed with screams and noises. Most people didn't bother with the noise, they just listened intently to Richie's speech.

If they don't pay attention, they can't listen, and this is the first time they've heard someone speak to Congress...... How so? It's better to say that it's tough than to know whether to live or die.

Refusal to recognize the Treaty of Versailles? The German people were naturally desperate for abolition, but reasonable people knew that it would lead to war, and they were both surprised by Rich's audacity and both eager and afraid that Richie would do it.

Putting an end to the proliferation of political parties? This was a good idea, and the German people had long since grown fed up with the environment of political parties all over the country, especially those who were more partisans than gangs.

Just as Richie was talking about the need to expand armaments, not only the people listening to the radio froze, but the people in the Congress were all terrified.

"A normal country cannot allow a situation in which there is no defense, and national defense is related to the security of the country. National defense is to prevent war before it happens, and to prevent and contain war in the future. I propose to strengthen the national defense, not for outward expansion, but to guarantee the defense of the country, so that we have a strong force to the east, and as soon as they cross Poland......"

Yes, it is again to pull Soviet Russia out as a shield, but Li Qi has no other way. (To be continued.) )
