Four months ago, 169 leaders and their followers were arrested and imprisoned in exchange for the evacuation of American and British ships from Kiel; Two months ago, after losing his parliamentary cabinet seat and being confined to investigation, he successfully helped 30,000 volunteers to go to Northern Europe. Fighting alone again and again, falling to the ground again and again, even if the whole world resists the blockade, we will still fight, with a clear conscience! Germans, follow the call of ideals and beliefs and cast your sacred votes!

Overnight, bulletin boards, banners and hand-out leaflets were almost everywhere in Germany's towns and villages, where people could see the same phrase almost as soon as they stepped out of their homes. It doesn't have beautiful promises, no flowery rhetoric, no even the signatures of propagandists, but no one knows which party it refers to and what ideas it upholds. Like the typical hype of the business age, the party was controversial and notorious not so long ago, but in the aftermath of the Hidedensee incident, people's perceptions have changed dramatically because of their frustration with the authorities, who have seen what it means to be weak and what is bravery.

This was seven days before the second post-war German general election.

The impact of the farce on Hildensee Island has not completely ended, and something more subversive has happened: on the Eastern European front, many officers and soldiers of the 15th Infantry Regiment under the German Defense Army arrived at the Soviet position through the defense line and no man's land at night, and then the Soviet Union officially released the news publicly, and declared that the two sides had reached an agreement that the Soviet Union would unconditionally help these Germans to their ideal place - the Free Empire of Northern Scandinavia!

The political influence of this event in Germany and in the world was no less than that of an atomic bomb!

Since the proclamation of the post-war German government, tens of thousands of German volunteers serving the Soviet Army have tried to defect to the Allies, and this is the first time that German Wehrmacht officers and soldiers have defected to the Soviet camp. From a military point of view, the collective escape of more than 80 percent of the officers and men of an infantry regiment requires not only courage and determination, but also a large number of German troops in the vicinity of the regiment's defense area, and it is impossible for them to be completely unaware of an operation of this magnitude, but no one has stopped or reported it to the higher command at the first time. Two hours later, the Allied European Command issued an urgent order for the German troops deployed on the forward front to withdraw in an orderly manner under the supervision of other Allied forces.

Within a day, as long as the German corps was within 50 kilometers of the confrontation border, its headquarters and barracks were all placed under the cold gaze of soldiers from the United States, Britain, France, Poland and other countries. ^/ Very Literary/^

The situation of the German troops at the front line was soon transmitted back to Germany by the information blockade through the hidden information channels, and the people were in an uproar, and the people felt as if they had been stripped naked in broad daylight, and they were immediately psychologically humiliated and stimulated, and they lost patience with the president and army generals who continued to do nothing, and they wanted to take to the streets to demonstrate as a way to take a stand and vent their feelingsNo party can stand up and speak out in a stressful situation, the water will boil, and the whole of Germany will be strangely dead.

This was four days before the second popular suffrage in post-war Germany.

Since the special decree issued by the President is still in force, the Deutsche Ba'ath Party is theoretically ineligible to run for election, but the decision is in the hands of President Hof-Hersten, as long as he announces the lifting of the ban even one day in advance, the Deutsche Ba'ath Party is one of the legitimate candidate parties, and as for the ballot papers that have been printed and distributed to the voters, in addition to the checkboxes of the established political parties, one can also choose "Other" The fields are filled manually with those parties who, for various reasons, were not qualified before the ballot papers were printed, but who had the right to be elected on election day. …,

That evening, Lynn and Stupfer were both summoned to the president's study, and all three were well aware that the conversation at this time might be decisive for the future of Germany.

"The head of the Special Investigation Committee has just briefed me on the progress of the investigation, and on the whole, you are quite cooperative with the investigation, which I am very satisfied with."

Hof-Hersten, known as the "people's statesman", has been president of Germany for less than 100 days, but his reputation and image have plummeted in a series of major events, and his personal spirit seems to be much worse.

Lynn and Stupf sat quietly on the couch opposite the president, a calm that had a very different meaning from the compromise they had taken on their part more than three weeks ago, when the situation in Germany was in chaos, the army was too busy to take care of itself, and the initiative of the two sides of the dialogue had actually shifted positions.

The Baath Party leaders and deputy leaders all wanted coffee, but Hof-Hersten drank hot milk. After a minute or two of silence, the president drooped his eyelids and said: "The German Reconstruction Party has been a dominant player in Germany recently, and the popular support rate should be much higher than the election at the end of last year." ”

The situation determines the confidence, and the confidence determines the tone, and the attitude of Hof-Hersten is not surprising. Stupfer responded unhurriedly: "We are indeed in the center of public opinion when we come in, and there is praise, but more criticism and criticism, talking about us

It was the remnants of the Nazis, the evil forces that would return Germany to a dark dictatorship. You see, am I a pedagogical politician, like an authoritarian figure? ”

The president looked up at the guy who spoke and acted quite tactfully, and made no comment

With the president of the country on one side and the opposition politicians on the other, the disparity in status, and Lynn, the youngest of the three, should speak with careful measure, but age is also a reasonable excuse for some small mistakes, and then he follows the words of Hoff-Hulse earlier: "Dear Mr. President, have you forgotten that we, the German Reconstruction Party, are not eligible to run now, subject to the ban you have issued?" ”

Finding the right step, President Hof-Huls slapped his head abruptly: "Oh, I'm sorry, you see my memory!" To tell you the truth, the recent situation has really tormented me, the allies are constantly putting pressure on us through diplomatic and political channels, and the people cannot understand our painstaking efforts, thinking that we are a group of weak and incompetent fools, alas・・・・・

"You are the most popular people's politician in the history of Germany, and even if you are confused for a while, you will understand and understand you sooner or later!"

Lynn's compliments sound more like irony, but usually, politicians are not usually thick-skinned, and Hof-Huls shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Actually, I invited you two here today in the hope of using your party's influence among the people to help Germany get through the current difficulties." In return, I can lift the ban so that your party can catch up with the upcoming general elections, and when the situation calms down, we will discuss your party's merits and appropriately reduce the punishment for the Nordic volunteer incident, what do you think? ”

The German Ba'ath Party is what it is most eager to run for, and if they miss the general election, their political path will be very difficult, and if they do not, they may win the battle in one fell swoop. Despite this, Stupf replied slowly: "Your Excellency the President thinks too highly of us, the Baath Party only has a certain influence in North Germany, and the current situation in North Germany is relatively stable, and we are really powerless to deal with the problems of Bavaria and other states in the south." Besides, what role can a political party like ours play in military disputes? ”…,

The president looked intently at Stubpf, and it was clear that the spicy and capable Baath leader was not a master who could be fooled with casually. In their respective interests, both sides are interested in such cooperation, and the twisting is only to raise their prices, but considering that the two sides may cooperate and dialogue at a higher level in the future, it is time for thoughtful politicians to consider the possibility of raising tigers.

Sensing such concerns in Hove-Hul's eyes, Lynn did not rush to interject, but stared at Hof-Huls with the same focused gaze. It took a while for the German president to realize the gaze from the other side, and when he turned his head to look at Lynn, Lynn decisively gave him a very friendly smile.

Hof-Hulse hesitated for a moment, then said in a more assertive tone: "I know that you are already carrying out election propaganda, and your slogans are so agitatory that we could have banned this propaganda as a dangerous flash, and in addition to the previous Nordic volunteer incident, it is also in line with the current regulations to dissolve and completely ban the German Baath Party." This situation was avoided because we felt that most of your actions were still carried out from the standpoint of defending German rights and interests, and that you were still a very promising party as long as you could lead to the right path.

Since the German president has given "grace" and "might" has also been issued, Stupf retreated with amusement and said: "Well, since the president has high hopes for us, and the country needs us to make our due contribution, then we in the German Renaissance Party will do our best to do what you have entrusted us with." ”

"In fact, we can combine election propaganda with stabilizing people's hearts and minds to divert their anger in a peaceful way." Lynn interjected.

Hove-Hulse nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's right!" A truly viable party should do everything from the standpoint of maintaining national stability and the unity of the people, so that I can get them to return to you the funds temporarily withheld by the Special Investigation Committee, and all the Ombudsmen will be suspended, which is the biggest concession I can make. ”

Still not showing any joy, Stupf replied with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, I sincerely hope that we can resolve this crisis with mutual trust and support. ”
