Chapter 131: Hatred is Brewing (3)
Erich. Feng. What was Falkingham's reaction? He just didn't look away and didn't even look at Friedrich. Albert glanced.
Once the German army took Paris, and soon it was able to drive the Entente **** in northwestern France into the sea, that time was the most likely moment for the Second German Reich to win the war, but the army in front did not fail, and these bastards in the rear made a mess of the country for various purposes.
Paul. Feng. Hindenburg asked Friedrich very seriously. Albert: "What does the president mean that we need to go to war with the Entente again?" β
Friedrich. Albert just looked at Paul. Feng. Hindenburg did not speak.
Gustav. Adolph. Bauer said with a look of despair: "226 billion Reichsmarks, it is impossible for us to pay off this amount of defeat reparations." β
"Our army has been disbanded 5/2, our country is facing turmoil, our military factories have mostly been dismantled, and we ...... "Paul. Feng. Hindenburg's tone was cold: "I can't fight anymore." β
"Nope! We have to show that we can fight again! "Friedrich. Albert forced himself to cheer up: "We should tell them that Germany is a people that will not give in. We can fight again! β
"What the president means is that the military needs to show that it can fight any longer, right?" Paul. Feng. Hindenburg was silent for a moment and glanced at Erich. Feng Fa Jinhan opened his mouth but did not speak.
Erich. Feng. Falkingham is now not only Minister of Defence, but also Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces. Although I despise this group of politicians in my heart, it is obviously inappropriate not to speak at this time.
"If it's just a faΓ§ade that they can fight again, they still don't change their decision. Are we really going to start the war again? "Erich. Feng. Falkingham's face was serious: "Whether our society can withstand another large-scale war, when can our military industrial enterprises resume production, and how many munitions our resources can produce, we ......", another series of questions, and finally he said: "We are not mentally prepared to fight a full-scale scorched earth war, what about those thugs, will the people support it?" β
Mob? Friedrich. After gaining some support from the army, Albert has been mobilizing troops to suppress the insurgents, and it has not been without success for several months, such as the cities around Berlin that have basically eliminated the militants. However, in the face of nationwide riots, Friedrich. Albert tried hard, but it didn't work much.
Now another war, will the people of Germany support it? At the beginning, the German army maintained victory on the front line, and could see the hope of victory, because of the collapse of the rationing system, the German people were slightly instigated, and it seemed that they abandoned the Hohenzollerns without even hesitation, right?
Precisely because the German people can be incited to abandon the Hohenzollerns, what confidence does the Weimar government, which still represents the interests of the minority, have the confidence to gain the desperate support of those people?
There was a terrible silence in the room, and the four old men closed their eyes and smoked more as if they were going to poison themselves with nicotine.
"The state government over there in Bavaria handled it quite well." Friedrich. Albert suddenly said something that seemed impossible to hit with the current situation, and he looked at Erich. Feng. Fakingham said slowly, "It's completely stabilized over there. Governor Litch sent a report to Berlin that they intended to build Bavaria into Germany's largest grain producer in three years' time. β
"They are as powerful as they are at killing the rebels as they are at the Entente." Paul. Feng. Hindenburg just had an opinion about Richie, and he had an unhappy attitude from beginning to end. He said: "They got involved with the Entente without the permission of the Ministry of Defence, ignored our strategic intention of needing Hungary to attract the Entente, and sent 30,000 troops to suppress the revolution together with the Allied troops." β
The Hungarian revolution was still underway, and the Entente troops were still in Romania, and the march on Hungary that was supposed to be delayed by the massive movement of Soviet Russia in Ukraine.
The Freikorps, who had been heading for Hungary from Germany, were the only troops to continue their advance towards Hungary, and they were now in the Czech region, and they would probably be able to enter the western part of Hungary in about a month or two to start fighting.
Erich. Feng. Falkingham understood Friedrich. Albert's meaning was more clear to Paul. Feng. What Hindenburg meant by those words.
After Litch had used the legal process to gain control of Bavaria, Erich Brown had taken over the state of Bavaria. Feng. The military group of Falkingham's faction, they finally don't have to support secretly, and they can do something openly. This included the dispatch of officers to Bavaria, and the ability to justify the transfer of some previously stockpiled munitions.
Bavaria was the first state in Germany to stabilize, and in addition to the high pressure of the Freikorps, it was not unrelated to the partial understanding of the Entente side.
The Entente's understanding of Bavaria came at a cost, including the fact that Bavaria squeezed out a small amount of food to support France, and sent troops to fight in Hungary under the command of the Entente.
In Germany, because of the existence of the Weimar Charter, the states enjoy the legal right of self-government, but do not include diplomatic and military autonomy.
"If it's just the illusion of a big war brewing, the Wehrmacht can do it." Erich. Feng. Falkingham frowned, he needed to make the necessary concessions. He looked at Friedrich. Albert said seriously: "But we really can't fight a big game, especially on home soil. β
Friedrich. Albert got the answer he wanted. He knew very well that Germany could not fight the war at present, and pulled an ugly smile: "We can't afford to fight, and France can't afford to fight, as long as we can take advantage of Britain's balanced policy on the continent and win the support of the Americans, it will be enough for us." β
Paul. Feng. Hindenburg frowned and said: "If those thugs don't solve it, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Now is the time for the nation to perish!" Friedrich. Albert raised the banner and said: "I will broadcast the whole people, Germany has reached the most dangerous time." If the people still do not recognize the situation, Germany will not be destroyed in our hands, but they will choose to perish! β
Politicians...... How many times have politicians messed up themselves, usually ignoring the needs of the people, and when the people are needed, a sentence of the nation or something, and absolute justice is mastered, it should be the people who give up their rights and interests, and not stand on the side of the politicians is the culprit or something. So, the nation is like a universal rag for politicians, and the people have always been victims, haven't they? (To be continued.) )
