Chapter 66: Extraordinary People

A sentence may be able to enlighten an obsessed person, make a group of insensitive escapees face up to life, and point out the direction for a group or even a country, but a sentence can never directly change a person or a group. Franz. Stupf's performance was great, but it wasn't enough to put the mediocre German Baath on the right track.

Orientals believe that "the plan of the day is in the morning", which is different in Western countries. After eating and drinking enough during the day, the official agenda of the party congress began at 7 p.m. in the manor's indoor dining room. For a party that aims to compete in the political arena, a clear and sensible program is its thinking, a rigorous and realistic charter is its soul, and a sound and perfect organization is its skeleton. A year and seven months earlier, Stupfer had formed the party with ten members of the party's Supreme Council, and the program and bylaws had been as chaotic, old-fashioned, and lifeless as Lynn had seen, as was their organizational system. This time, Stupfer not only prepared a speech full of shocking effects, but also presented the revised program and constitution in a gorgeous manner in front of many party members and Lynn, a special newcomer. The concise and concise program was so concise and impeccable that Lynn's first reaction was not to bow down to Stupf, but to think that there must be a great master or a team of thinkers behind it, which led to the miraculous transformation that Speer gave to NORINCO.

In the brightly lit cafeteria, the committee members read out the program and constitution paragraph by paragraph, and the party members and representatives discussed it sentence by sentence and proposed amendments. Judging from the situation on the spot, the quality and vision of the vast majority of party members and representatives were not enough to make effective suggestions on these two well-crafted drafts, and they could only occasionally use a few vulgar ridicules to enliven the atmosphere. Four hours later, the program and draft constitution were approved by a large number of votes, followed by a 40-minute break and supper. Despite the fact that it was close to midnight and the lively atmosphere was too much to sleep, after Stupf's introduction, Lynn had a more comprehensive understanding of the party's core members and local leaders, and he did not need to memorize it at this time, because the Baath Party was about to undergo major organizational changes and personnel appointments and dismissals.

After a short intermission, the party congress continued. Stupf, who had unprecedented prestige, personally announced the restructuring of the party's organizational structure, and it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that the new organizational structure was a minor revision of the SS system, and the division of the national map fully demonstrated the ambition of the Baath Party.

In the new personnel appointments and dismissals, the General Assembly unanimously approved the approval of Lynn, also known as "Hugo. Horst's deputy party leader, a young man who had only been a member of the Ba'ath Party for a few weeks, rose to the top two of the stature, and Lynn could not see the resentment on the faces of the ten members, who seemed to understand and accept the political graft as well as Stupfer. With the great improvement of confidence and self-esteem, he also began to understand the reason why the high-ranking officials of the empire in the past fell into a state of pride and arrogance, and their literacy and character were only part of it.

Under the leader and deputy leader, the position of the 10 members can be shaken, and the former regional and regional leaders have been completely restructured and new regional levels have been established, and the country is divided into nine regional regions and 26 regions, with nine regional leaders and corresponding regional committees, and the number of districts under each region is at the discretion of each region. With Lynn's previous knowledge of the Ba'ath Party, with the exception of the three northern regions, the leaders of the other six regions were basically "airdrop commanders", and as Stupford said, it takes heroic pioneers to open up territory from a local party to a national party. Fortunately, this is not a desert in a strange land, and the revised Baath program bears many similarities with the National Socialist Party of the past when Hitler seized power, and it should be supported by the members of the old National Socialist Party and the popular population hostile to the allies, while the mentality of ordinary Germans has fluctuated in the two years after the war, and until most people really reflect on the war, there is still a market for revival and revenge. …,

The noisy party congress didn't end until 3 a.m., and many party members were already past the period of physiological sleepiness and were ready to find a wine station to have a big time, but Stupford didn't arrange a place for them to drink and celebrate, not to mention a tavern within a radius of a few kilometers, and there was not even a small shop selling groceries. Faced with Stupf's wry smile, the party members had to return to their rooms in groups. The main building of this manor is only two and a half floors, and the capacity is not as good as that of a medium hotel, and Lynn did not have much hope for the Ba'ath Party before, so he naturally did not pay attention to these details, and at this time, he inquired about his new colleagues with half curiosity and half concern, and learned that the organizers of the party congress had already made full preparations, and all the guest rooms and study, small living room, and attic were cleared out and laid out with beds, and although there were differences in the treatment of representatives at different levels, there was little difference. The main consideration of the space in each room is to arrange the number of occupants, so that more than 200 party members and representatives can be properly accommodated.

"How do you feel, Your Excellency our Deputy Leader?"

Hearing Stupf's voice, Lynn turned around on the spot, the fat face that was shiny from sweating and was full of friendly smiles stopped at a distance of 50 centimeters, still the snobbish and cunning expression of a businessman, Lynn's previous disgust was reduced to a very low level, and he now began to wonder what kind of character Stuppford was, wise and foolish? Jin Yu among them? Or is it just an agent like yourself?

"Eye-opening!" Lynn responded with an unambiguous smile, "This is the most inspiring party congress I've ever experienced, and I'm honored to believe that I'm going to witness the rise of this party." ”

"Hah! Not only is it an honor, but you should be proud that you are now an important member of this party. "I'm sure your courage and talent will soon make us proud of you." Right, honorable General Gargo! ”

Hearing the other party call him by his real name, Lynn was really taken aback, but fortunately, the party members and representatives had dispersed, and there were only a few of Stupf's subordinates around, and his last sentence was deliberately lowered in his voice.

Seeing Lynn's eyes widen, Stupfer slowly put away his smile, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which was a "good color" produced in the United States and specially supplied to the U.S. military, skillfully knocked out one, paused on the cigarette case, lit a cigarette with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "I have a general understanding of your legendary experience, and I have to admit that I am just an inconspicuous little person in front of you, and my unsuccessful efforts cannot be compared with you at all, and it is actually a very contradictory thing for me to make you the deputy leader of this small party." On the one hand, we longed for such a great man as courageous, resourceful, and far-sighted as you to lead us, and on the other hand, we felt that it was useless for you to condescend to this, until I met the Führer, and accepted his guidance and the great trust he gave me with great fear, and it was not until that day that I really understood what I was going to do. ”

At this moment, what Lynn saw was no longer the sleek sophistication of the businessman, but the reflection of the sinking man touching the depths of his soul. He suddenly felt that the world had changed, that the situation had changed beyond recognition. The Imperial Führer had also changed, from a hoarse berserker to a quiet, deep, scheming man. In short, everything is no longer what I used to know, it is difficult to figure out, and it is more challenging.

"To tell you the truth, I have been worried about my limited political ability and the expectations of the Führer, and I have never felt more ambivalent than ever before I was afraid that you would not accept me, a junior who seems to have little experience and qualifications, to take on such a heavy responsibility. Fortunately, Your Excellency Leader has otherworldly wisdom, and what you have just said is like a beacon light in the night, pointing the way forward for me, a bewildered man. ”…,

Lynn's courteous tone drew a hearty smile from Stubffer, who then politely made a "please" gesture instead of patting or grabbing Lynn's arm like an old friend.

"How about a drink for our tacit understanding and for our future?"

In response to such an invitation under such circumstances, Lynn was disrespectful. The two of them then left the others and walked all the way to Stupf's living room, a large suite with exquisite furnishings but not too luxurious, which seemed to be the residence of the owner of the manor, the bedroom, study, bathroom and cloakroom layout were very orthodox, except that the space that could be freed up was placed with folding camp beds, which at first glance completely disturbed the style, but when you think about it, it invisibly enhances the personality of Stupfher, the leader of the party: this is not a pleasure-loving, high-minded man, but an eclectic, Leaders who are willing to share weal and woe with their comrades-in-arms -- at least at this stage, have fully demonstrated this fine leadership trait.

Led Lynn to the spacious and tidy study, Stupford slipped into the cloakroom alone, and in a moment he carried a small bottle of liquor and two metal cups without lugs and any ornamentation, like household goods that had been brought on the march to battle.

"After dinner, all the wine and drinking utensils have been transported out of this manor, and those wine bugs will not even find a drop of alcohol even if they can't stand the addiction, and from this day on, I will hone their will, and no longer stop discipline on their mouths and papers." As he spoke, Stupfer filled the two glasses with liquor, so that the bottles were nearly half empty, and it seemed that there was very little extra liquor left for the chief and deputy leaders.

"The collapse of the German Baath Party is very different from what we originally envisioned. We were also ambitious at the beginning, trying to turn it into a hope to save the people, but there was no way, since the end of the war, the whole of Germany has been permeated with the atmosphere that filling the stomach has become the only purpose of people's existence, as long as the most basic physiological needs can be satisfied, everyone would rather live in such a decadent way than talk or do more. ”

"I understand!" Lynn took the glass from him, "Yes, I can understand! "Min
