There will never be a shortage of people in the world who are trying to work for the well-being of the people, but in fact shout slogans that are shaking the sky and thundering, but secretly do things like chickens and dogs.
The idea of the Bolsheviks was definitely to create a new world for a certain group, to lift the shackles on them, and to turn around their unhappy lives. Even now, Soviet Russia is really carrying out class cleansing, and many innocent people are dying in the purge, but at least it really liberates the serfs and gives them land.
What happened in Soviet Russia cannot be replicated in Germany, Germany does not have a serf class, a country that has risen rapidly for decades, as long as it is not idle and idle, let alone become a rich man, but how can it have assets that can survive?
If it weren't for the outbreak of war, if it weren't for the fact that the war was in a difficult time, the people who lived in the country of Germany would have been a relatively happy group of people in the nineteenth century. Because they enjoy the dividends brought by the rapid development of the country, and enjoy all the rights and interests after paying taxes, even if they are really down, there are relief bread distributed by the government at regular and fixed points.
However, it was the war that reached a stalemate, it was the Entente countries that blocked Germany's trade, and the quality of life deteriorated, and all discontent occurred.
"It has been confirmed that it was not the Bolshevik Party that organized and planned a series of atrocities, but the Spartak League."
"What's the difference?"
"The Spartak League had Bolshevik tendencies, and the ideological core was similar, but it was not Bolshevik, it belonged to socialism."
"Those Norsemen and Slavs?"
"They ......"
Socialism is not a Bolshevik? It may sound strange, but socialism is not the same as the Bolsheviks. In fact, when socialism first appeared, it needed to be preceded by two more words, that is, "dynastic socialism", that is, an idea with the rule of one family as the core, which was "nationalism".
The Second German Empire under the Hohenzollern family was a form of dynastic socialism, which they used to educate its citizens, and this "ism" came to be called militarism. After Hohenzollern has played this set of "isms" badly, it will not long be before a state will take over the "big stick". This country is a rapidly rising Japan, and they will also implement the system of dynastic socialism, which is militarism under the rule of a dynasty.
National Socialism was a term that came later. National socialism, as the name suggests, is based on unity and the building of the state. In such a country, there is no longer any royal family, some have a political party as the core, and usually there is only one strong party to rule the country, not multiple parties of similar strength to rule the country in turn.
Cal. Liebknecht and Rosa. Luxembourg formed the Spartacist League with the goal of ruling alone. They have definitely won the support of foreign forces, and they have also received the covert support of some people with special interests in China, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a great force to push the whole country to rise up.
Whatever the isms, they are very far away from Richie right now.
After stabilizing Lübeck, Litch sent a telegram to Berlin, which replied quickly.
Telegrams were sent at the same time from the executive and military departments in Berlin.
The prime minister's administration ordered Litch to lead his troops north to suppress the insurgents in the cities from Lübeck to the port of Kiel, and wrote that officials from Berlin would soon meet with Leach.
A telegram from the military department ordered Litchie to go to Hamburg as quickly as possible, and upon arrival he waited for orders on the outskirts of the city, where someone would take command of the army.
The German military has always been controlled by the Junkers military group of the General Staff Headquarters, who even overthrew Kaiser Wilhelm II. It is rumored that the reason for the outbreak of the First World War was the joint creation of this group of Junkers and some capitalists from the military-industrial complex. (Like Carl. Liebknecht accuses Krupp)
"When will the civil administration be able to give orders like the army?" Li Qi's face was full of weirdness, and he did not shy away from it: "It indicates that the council is already fighting for control of the army with the staff headquarters." Which side should we listen to? ”
Kurt. Zeitzler did not hesitate to say: "My opinion is that the orders of either side are not followed. The civil administration did not have the authority to direct us, and the orders from the War Department lacked the necessary procedures. ”
None of the officers showed any strange expressions, they just waited quietly.
"No matter which side is obeyed, it seems from their orders that there is no way to avoid the battle that will take place in the hinterland of the country." Kurt. Zeitzler appeared very sensible: "Now that the country is in chaos, we don't know which side is right to obey. Therefore, my opinion is that we refuse to carry out any orders that go beyond the rank unless there is an order from a direct officer. ”
Richie smiled, all he wanted was Kurt. Zeitzler answered like this. Who are their immediate officers? It was the commander of the 1st Army on the Western Front, Otto. Feng. Admiral Bello. This general is well staying on the Western Front, how can he have time to give them any orders?
Who is the Berlin military sending the order? It's the War Department. The signature on the telegram was a name called Axus. Major General of Attenborough.
Axus. Who is Attenborough? Anyway, Li Qi didn't know that there was such a number one person at all, and the main thing was that the telegram bypassed the staff headquarters and was not a valid order.
Even if they are all like-minded comrades, as long as they do not retire for a day, Li Qi as a commander will not be able to resemble Kurt. Zeitzler said those words directly. This is the special national condition of Germany, who made Germany carry out a militaristic education system from the beginning, and many times it has become the norm.
Participated in Lübeck's suppression, that is, Richie's brigade was too close to Lübeck, not to say anything like "the side of the couch does not allow others to snore", but once Lübeck was mastered by the uprisers, Litch would definitely face joining in the uprising or suppression.
Fortunately, there is no need to wait for Litchie to be torn between the market of Lübeck Andreas. Fane. Felix played a trick of telegraphing from the barracks, so that the military, believing that the brigade was ready for suppression, gave the necessary orders in the procedure.
"So...... We will maintain law and order in Lübeck, and we will wait for the rest to be ordered to do so. After Richie finished speaking, he walked to the window, and as he walked, he said: "Those who have been brought under control, everything is in the form of law, and I don't want to see any private shooting." ”
Now that I can not be stained with blood, it is best not to have anyone's blood on my hands, it is not out of some wise choice of side considerations, it is really unnecessary. Even if Germany is in turmoil, there are some things that will not change. The country has its own rules of the game, which don't change immediately because of who comes to power.
Li Qi looked out the window, there were no pedestrians on the city streets under martial law, and everything around him sounded very quiet.
"Theoretically, my position in the Air Force is preceded over my position in the Army, so ......" Richie said, turning to the group of officers, "I will leave for Bavaria tomorrow to fulfill my duties at the Air Ministry." ”
At this moment, no one said anything. Those who don't know think that Richie's choice is in line with the procedure, but those who know understand that their career is really about to begin.
Bavaria had a number of good scenes, and the future establishment of a Bavarian Soviet Republic was a very big event, big enough to affect the fate of Germany by the victorious powers of the Entente.
There...... Bavaria, Lidg's nominal hometown, will also be the place where he will be on stage in the true sense of the word!
