Eight hundred and seventy. Christmas speeches
Berlin, 25 December 1965.
Christmas is here.
On this day, neither for the Germans nor for the Allies, no soldiers on either side wanted to continue fighting, and it was the most important day of the year for them.
Even the cold guns that were on the battlefield day and night had disappeared, as if the war had moved away from the city.
Although peace is short-lived, it is much better than the hope of never seeing peace.
When children wake up in the morning, they can see the gifts from Santa Claus. They have been suffering from war since childhood, and at this time they finally have a smile on their faces.
It's the happiest day of the year for them.
At 10 o'clock, the Germans, having eaten breakfast, gathered in front of the television, the radio, and the loudspeakers in the streets. Alexon. Feng. Bream will deliver a Christmas message.
Just before Christmas, the Baron had already brought the Germans the best Christmas present, and he brought Berlin to the bustle of today with a hearty victory, and he also made the Germans more convinced that the Baron would always be the invincible Baron Alexon!
However, it was not the familiar young face that appeared on the TV, nor was the familiar voice coming out of the radio and loudspeakers.
"German soldiers, German citizens, soldiers fighting on all fronts. I'm Louie. Ferdinand. Victor. Edward. Albert. Michael. Hubertus, the sole heir of the House of Hohenzollern. Descendants of the former German Emperor Wilhelm II ......"
As soon as such a self-introduction appeared, it caused quite a commotion among the Germans.
Descendants of Wilhelm II? God, the descendants of Wilhelm II appeared in such a dangerous place in Berlin.
The Germans were always fond of Wilhelm II and his descendants. Although Wilhelm II caused the First World War. And was not able to lead Germany to victory. But the German emperor treated his people well and strictly obeyed German laws, especially his feat of dealing with the whole of Europe almost single-handedly, which also made him a tragic hero of defeat in the hearts of the German people, and most of the people of Germany never shifted the responsibility for the defeat to him alone.
And his son Augusta is also a favorite crown prince of the German people. The crown prince has always been on the front lines and has led his crown prince army to many beautiful victories.
Even after the overthrow of His Majesty the Emperor, the Germans still have some pity......
All of them held their breath. Listen to Michael. Michael first briefly congratulated him on a happy holiday, and then changed his words:
"Today all people are happy, but tomorrow we will soon be back in the middle of war. Blood and death are threatened again. I believe that every German who remains here is ready for this. And I, the descendant of His Majesty the Emperor and the sole heir of the House of Hohenzollern, will also solemnly announce it here to the whole world. I will stay in Berlin. I will stay in Germany and do everything I can to help this country achieve the most rebellious victory, even if it costs me my life. The Hohenzollerns will always be on the side of Germany, and no amount of price will stop us from helping Germany to victory......
All the German people, all the people of the European continent or the American continent who still have a sense of justice, Germany is facing a war that has been imposed on us, Germany is suffering. So, I plead with those who are righteous. Use your righteous hearts and every means you can imagine to help this country. Sooner or later, you too will need Germany's help, and when that time comes, your kindness will be rewarded with the most generous of Germany...... I also call on all those who still have the blood of the Hohenzollern family in their veins to help Germany and the country I love so much. As the head of the House of Hohenzollern, I command you as a German. I believe that we will win, and I firmly believe that we can achieve victory because my life is tied to this country......"
Michael's voice, through a special way, has spread throughout Germany, throughout Europe, and throughout the world, and his speech will also have a shocking effect.
His identity is very special, he is a descendant of the royal family, and the blood of the royal family flows in his body. Especially on the European continent, there are not many royal descendants of pure blood like him.
On the one hand, they were the first to advocate democracy and equality, and a large number of monarchs were overthrown, abdicated, and even guillotined by them. On the other hand, they have always maintained a respectful and strange awe for the surviving members of the royal family, and a person with royal blood in his body can always be treated by them wherever he goes.
It is like the abdicated German Emperor Wilhelm II, when the Second World War broke out, his former enemy Britain actually feared for his safety and tried his best to invite him to take refuge in England, although he was eventually rejected by Wilhelm II. And when Wilhelm II died, the British government even issued a eulogy, which was full of praise for Wilhelm II, a former enemy.
It was in this state of mind that the appearance of Michael, a descendant of pure blood, and his speech at Christmas, quickly caused a sensation in Europe.
The Hohenzollerns are one of the oldest and most powerful families on the European continent. They maintained close ties with the Medici, Habsburgs, Bourbons, Guise, and Stuarts. They corresponded with each other and discussed with each other the future of the family and the situation in the world.
Although they are far from the center of power, they still hold great power in their hands, and once they are united, it will be a very terrible thing.
Of course, they are very low-key and easily do not appear in public. And because of that. Legends about them are also circulating on the European continent.
Some say they have a terrible private arm, others say they have a strong religious power....... In short, all kinds of absurd legends are constantly surrounding them......
After the attack on the German mainland, the families remained silent. Not a single word of their opinion on the war has been made in public, and now that has changed with the appearance of Michael.
As a German, Michael stood firmly on the side of his homeland, and there is nothing wrong with that. But what worries the Allies is what kind of storm his speech will cause on the European continent!
To add insult to injury, Ernst. What kind of magic does Bram possess, and he can present the voice he wants to be heard by the whole world in front of the whole world at any time and in any place. However, the technical departments of the Allied forces were at a loss for this.
"Thank you for being able to listen to me...... "to be able to address the German people again," said Michael slowly. This is my greatest pleasure. I promise you will see me and my wife on the streets of Berlin, and we will be like an ordinary German. Fight to defend the city. We will, like any German, fearlessly meet the enemy's bombardment. Like any German, we will be confident of a new victory under the leadership of Baron Alexon. Yes, under Baron Alexon. German soldiers. Nationals of Germany. I implore you to obey Baron Alexon's orders unconditionally, and to carry out Baron Alexon's orders unconditionally, which is the most necessary prerequisite for the victory of Germany......"
Michael unreservedly expressed his support for Baron Alexon, just like his grandfather and father.
The Germans in Berlin listened quietly, and when Michael's voice settled, bursts of applause rang out.
It was a descendant of His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm, a true German. He did not return at the height of Germany, but at the height of Germany's danger. In that respect alone, he deserves everyone's respect.
And then. When the applause ended, Baron Alexon, whom everyone had been waiting for, appeared. He is still as young as ever, and still as majestic as ever:
"I would love to wish you a Merry Christmas, but I cannot say such a thing, because the enemy is still ready to attack Berlin. I hope that next Christmas, I will be able to join you in celebrating this holiday that should be celebrated by all of us, in an environment free of war, in a peaceful environment......
Today, I am reminded of all that after the end of the First World War, Germany was also suffering, and Germany was groaning in humiliation. Our people are bleeding, our country is bleeding. My officer told me that I had to give a speech to all Germans today, and I thought, what should I say to you? I remembered that many years ago, when our country was faced with such a situation, a man had already told us what to do. I think we should hear his voice again......"
Ernst. Field Marshal Bram pressed the tape recorder beside him, and then a voice familiar to the Germans sounded:
"Today, we stand here! Stand on the land of the Germans! Stand in Berlin, the land that our ancestors watered with blood and dignity! Behind me, Andrey. Statue of Corleone! He is recognized as a freedom fighter in the world! He is the light of the whole world! In front of me, standing is a people, a people groaning in humiliation! After the end of that war, the pride of our nation was gone! The victors rode on our necks and trampled on our dignity, the dignity of one of the noblest nations on the European continent! You tell me that you are choosing to be like Benjamin. Like Martin, be a freedom fighter or a slave?! You may say: Mr. Hitler, I need a job, a piece of bread. Yes. You're right, life is so important. But I'm going to tell you. There is another thing in this world that is more important than life, and that is freedom! That's dignity!
...... On the map of Europe, the country called Germany is fragmented and weakened. Our dignity does not exist! As long as people from other countries laugh contemptuously when they say the word Germany in a chat. Our dignity does not exist! What we need, not a loaf of bread! It's a living space! A living space for a nation! This living space is not achieved by begging and protesting. Rather, it is achieved by iron and blood! ”
Others have bullied us, even the weakest peoples have come to trample on us, and we will only cry: we express strong indignation and protest, such people. It's boneless! Such a person is lowly! We should make the enemy tremble with cannon earthquakes and deaf sounds! We should crush their dignity and their lives, and let them know that we are not a bunch of cowards who only know how to protest......
You have to remember that a country that only knows how to protest. It's a country without bones! A government that only knows how to protest is a government that has no bones! When our dignity, territory, and living space are trampled on, we shamelessly protest against the land administration and government. We don't need it! You'll abandon them at the last age! I'm proud, among you guys. There are very few people who have no bones like this! In front of me is an army with thousands of years of unyielding blood! This blood. It used to flow in the veins of our ancestors. They didn't give in! Now, they're bubbling inside our bodies, you tell me. Do you want it to cool down!?
...... If there was a day, I, Adolf. Hitler, too, would have been like Benjamin. Martin is at the forefront with the banner that belongs to our Germany! Even if I die in battle, I will enter heaven with a smile! I will meet the glorious ancestors of Germany. I can walk up to the great Frederick the Great with my head held high, and I can proudly say to him: I. Your children and grandchildren, I have not disgraced you, I have shed the last drop of blood for the great Germany!
We don't fight for enslavement! We fight for freedom! We are not machines, we are not cows and horses, we are people! It's the Germanic people who never gave in!
We unite in the name of freedom! Fight for a new, fair world! We fight for a job for everyone! Fight for those who enslaved us to get out of the land of the Germans! Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises!
Fight for the liberation of this country! Germans, we fight for the glory of our ancestors! For our children and grandchildren to be able to proudly proclaim that we are Germanic people who never give in!
Long live my compatriots, Germany and the German people! Freedom, long live! ”
It was Adolf, the head of the German Empire. Hitler's voice, that was the head of the German Empire, Adolf. Hitler's most stirring speech in front of countless Germans!
"The same circumstances, the same suffering, and now Germany again! What are we going to do? Choose to live in humiliation, or choose to fight to the death? "Adolf. Hitler's voice disappeared, and was replaced by Wang Weiyi's voice in a low voice:
"I believe Adolf. Hitler's Führer had already shown us the way, fighting for those who enslaved us to get out of the land of the Germans! Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises! Fight for the liberation of this country! Germans, we fight for the glory of our ancestors! For our children and grandchildren to be able to proudly proclaim that we are Germanic people who never give in!
We will win, with the dignity of a Germanic man I assure you that we will win! We want to see miracles, but we don't always see miracles. There is no need to complain, miracles do not favor those who are lazy and cowardly, miracles only appear in people who work a hundred times and a thousand times harder, selfless and fearless. Miracles can only be seen in those who have never been afraid in the face of enemy bombardment! Miracles can only happen to those who are willing to shed the last drop of blood for their homeland!
And I believe even more that Germany has all such good qualities, that we can rise from humiliation once, and we can rise from humiliation a second time. As long as the flag of the enemy is still flying on German soil, as long as there is still our enemy running rampant on German soil, I promise that the war will not end! As long as the humiliation we have suffered cannot be returned to our enemies, I promise, the war will not end! As long as the United States has not lowered their arrogant heads, I promise, the war will not end!
German enemies, now, I can tell you that the Berlin counterattack has begun, the North African counterattack is about to begin, the Middle East counterattack is about to begin. You will tremble in the flames of German wrath, just as you did before Christmas!
In order to defend our freedom and dignity, we will not hesitate to destroy everything! If you think that war can bring a great nation to its knees, then I can tell you that you are - wrong!
Long live Germany! Long live German freedom! Long live the citizens of Germany! ”
"Long live Germany! Long live German freedom! Long live the citizens of Germany! When the slogan sounded, the cry resounded through the streets of Berlin.
It's a speech, it's a manifesto. Ernst. Bream told everyone how the German people would deal with the war and what kind of sacrifice they would use to protect their dignity and freedom.
There's nothing more worth paying for! (To be continued......)
