Chapter 88: Chaos Techniques
"The New German Era Has Arrived?"
Lynn, who sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-170J, held a copy of the day's Berliner Zeitung, with the headline on the front page being what he had just said, except that the words in the newspaper were followed by exclamation points instead of question marks. Since the end of World War II, the Germans have survived the bleakest of more than 900 days and nights, they have endured hunger, suffering both body and dignity, and today is the day of the first plenary session of Germany's first democratically elected parliament after the war, and it has reason to place high hopes, but there may be many people who have the same idea as Lynn - having an independent state and a legitimate government is far from being the beginning of a new era, the key is what the new government can bring to the country, And what kind of path will this nation take?
In response to Lynn's rhetorical question, Stupf, who was holding the cigar, only smiled contemptuously and continued to cross his legs triumphantly. The leader of the German Baath Party has been very busy for the past week. After World War II, Germany still chose a democratic parliamentary system, the government cabinet headed by the chancellor is the administrative center of the country, the chancellor and all cabinet members are elected from the parliamentarians, and retain the seats in the parliament after taking office, and the chancellor needs to be held by the leader of the majority party in the parliament, when the majority party is less than half of the seats, several minority parties may also accumulate more than half of the seats through the establishment of alliances to obtain the power to appoint the chancellor. The current general suffrage has created a pattern of multiple parties rising together in the National Assembly, and the parties with the highest proportion of seats are all ambitious and do not give in to each other, which means that any party that wants to form a government must win over four or more other parties, and a party like the German Ristahda Party, which has a large number of seats but does not have the temperament of a leader, has naturally become the object of courtship. In the face of the glamorous olive branch, Stupfer did not forget the humiliation he had suffered not long ago, and he rejected von Brown. Papen's partisan coalition has moved between the two favourites, the United Labour Front and the Christian Democratic Union, and has been raising its political price with a slick social skill.
Within a few pages of the newspaper, expensive limousines drove from the Baathistists' hotel to King's Square.
Due to the severe damage to the Reichstag building completed at the end of the 19th century in World War II, the Reichstag was held at the Kroll Opera House on the west side of Berlin's Königsplatz – a monumental building with a long history. As you can imagine, the theater was surrounded by military guards, journalists, and onlookers, who were not just here to join in the fun, but also to carry banners, loudspeakers, and proclaim their ideas and ideas: Germany Exit the War! Butter, not cannons! Return me to East Pru
In the von. During the short period of the temporary rule of the Papen cabinet, the German government pursued a pro-Allied diplomatic strategy, although the country gained independence and sovereignty, but successively sent millions of soldiers to Eastern Europe to participate in the war, although it received a large amount of material assistance from the allies, but the number of killed, missing, captured and disabled has exceeded 200,000, and the national politics are also constrained by the allies everywhere. The Papen Interim Government has always lacked popular support. It is precisely because of this that Lynn has been secretly manipulating the trend of public opinion, especially after the "Kiel Incident". The Barben cabinet and his coalition of parties were devastated, with the popular vote nearly half lower than the 30 percent expected earlier, and a significant portion of the people gathered outside the parliament were directly arranged or instigated by the Baath Party. This happened before the Congress elected the prime minister and formed a cabinet. The embarrassing situation of the Papen party can be imagined.
The situation is certainly full of subtle factors, but after all, it was Germany's first post-war parliament. Hof-Hersten gave his opening speech with great interest – the former mayor of Hamburg was a man of pure grassroots origin, affectionately known by his supporters as the "people's statesman", and in the more than two years after the war, he not only succeeded in making Hamburg one of the first major cities in Germany to rejuvenate, but also helped a large number of Germans living in misery through this window to the outside world, so that he was elected by a large margin in the previous presidential election. Of course, in a democratic parliamentary system, the president's popular support is only a symbolic position, and he only has some powers that are not related to the political situation and special powers that can be used in a state of emergency, and in most cases (whether by custom or according to law), such powers can only be exercised with the support of the prime minister, and the president's orders must be countersigned by the prime minister before they can take effect, and the president cannot issue decrees on his own by law. …,
The President's simple and moving speech was met with extremely warm applause, after which the first agenda item of the first Congress officially began. Since the announcement of the results of the general election, the results of the open and covert struggle between the various parties have finally reached the moment of decisive victory. In charge of the Provisional Government, von . Papen intended to fight back, and his speech to the Reichstag did take a lot of effort to rebuild Germany's plan to give nothing. In contrast, his two major opponents, the leader of the United Industrial Party, Ray Brown, were his two opponents. Colber and Christian League leader Martin. Feng. Reitberg has also shown quite a good reality
Both factions had brilliant plans for the restoration of the national economy and the improvement of the living conditions of the people, and formed a strong attack on the partisan coalition in the general direction of withdrawing from the war. At the critical moment, Schacht and the Democratic Party defected, leading to the defection of Von. Papen's partisan coalition was the first political force to lose, and Stupf's clever maneuvering led the German Ristahd to become the most crucial weight, and they eventually threw themselves into the higher-priced industrial unions. According to the terms agreed in advance between the two sides, the Baath Party will occupy the three ministerial seats of propaganda, transportation, and aviation in the new cabinet, although they are not as high as the political status of the prime minister and vice prime minister, and are not as important as the ministers of defense, economy, and justice, but they are "key powers" that directly contribute to the great cause of imperial rejuvenation!
Success and defeat, Feng. Papen fell from a high political position, but his former collaborator Shacht became a major figure in the camp of political opponents, taking up the post of deputy prime minister in the new cabinet. The industrial union, the Democratic Party and the Ristath Party emerged as the biggest winners, especially the German Reconstruction Party, which not so long ago was only a small party with local influence in North Germany. Horst, as well as a veteran member of the party's Supreme Council, Hurbert. Rauch officially entered the national political arena, serving as Germany's first post-war minister of propaganda, aviation, and transport.
In the unfavorable situation of the war, the Allies paid great attention to the political elections held by Germany, which had a population of 60 million and a top army. Although Papen's ability was not outstanding, his obedience was undoubtedly highly valued by the top leaders of the United States and Britain, but it was a pity that the support of Washington and London made some Germans vote for Von Bone. After the coalition cabinet led by the United Industrial Party, Papen's opponent, came to power, the leaders of the Allied powers sent more troops and aircraft and ships to German military bases, and on the other hand, they greatly increased economic aid to Germany, intending to get the German government to withdraw from the Allied camp and withdraw from the war. The new German Chancellor and a key member of the Zeiss consortium Nthard Brown. Kolber was a legendary, known for his unique vision and courage, and was known as the "fox of the business world" among his peers. Without Lynn's "midfield-stirring sticks" who mixed into the cabinet, Kolber's strategy would have been successful, but under the impetus of the Baath Party, the people's demand for development has increased unabated, and then the news broke that the new government is preparing to conclude a formal treaty with the allies, protest marches have been held all over Germany, and more than 100,000 people have taken to the streets in Berlin alone, which greatly exceeds the previous "Kiel incident", and what shocked the new government is that this protest finally affected the army, Thousands of Wehrmacht troops stationed in Bavaria and Württemberg mutinied, soldiers armed to join the march, besiege the local government and launch the "March to Berlin" operation. At the critical moment, Kolber's cabinet rejected the repressive demands of the allies, postponed the secret negotiations of the Entente indefinitely, announced that the peace plan was actively underway at home, and promised not to hold the demonstrators accountable for any crimes, and the fierce contradictions were resolved. In this case, the three cabinet ministers of the Ba'ath Party were particularly active in coordinating and holding talks with representatives of the demonstrators on several occasions, earning a good reputation among the people and the rank-and-file soldiers. In the aftermath, the Cabinet government found out that the Ba'ath Party had played a role in the uprising, but because it had not received direct evidence that the Ba'ath Party top was also involved, and because it was afraid of the rising popular support of the Ba'ath Party, it only hinted at the Baath Party leaders that nothing could be done.
After winning the first battle, the "midfield-stirring sticks" continued to exert their might and the transportation and aviation departments used official capacity to facilitate the volunteers to go to Northern Europe, and the propaganda department was slow to reduce domestic opposition, resulting in stronger diplomatic and political pressure from the Allies on the new German government, increasing the number of troops, reducing or even interrupting supplies for no reason. This kind of bullying was quickly counterattacked, and the Allied military bases and patrols in Germany were repeatedly attacked by unknown armed men, and every time they launched countermeasures, they were always interfered with and blocked by the German Wehrmacht, intentionally or unintentionally, and even confrontations between Allied patrols and German Wehrmacht troops occurred in Rostock and other places, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.
