Chapter 45 45 came to the forefront
The sound of a terrible siren echoed over the barracks, and on January 10, 1925, soldiers rushed out of their barracks and lined up quickly in their positions in the barracks of the Wehrmacht 1st Division near Berlin.
"1st Company assembled!" a lieutenant reported loudly as he saw his soldiers standing in order.
"The 3rd Company is assembled!"
"2 companies are assembled!" The voices were different, but they were all loud.
"Report to the regimental commander! The 1st battalion has been ordered to assemble!" The commander of the first battalion saw that his troops had all assembled and reported to his commander.
In just 5 minutes, thousands of people lined up in a neat phalanx in the square, and the entire school field was quiet again, without a single noise.
......
"Minister, Minister Stlesman!" "Gather in the conference room so early, I don't know if you have anything important to explain.
Streisman held the Wen Jiàn folder, looked at a young diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and said with a smile: "Don't ask, you will naturally know when you get to the conference room." ”
Not far behind them, there were more than a dozen foreign ministry staff members in suits, some of them already senior diplomats, some of them only secretaries of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and low-level employees.
The same hurried to the meeting, as well as officials from the Ministry of Communications,
......
In the open space of one of the Krupp branch factories, workers wearing hard hats and forward hats were standing, and these people all looked up at the factory director on the high platform, who was making his speech: "Today! I have good news for everyone! The factory has decided to allow workers to rest for two hours in batches every Tuesday afternoon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the workers below, for it had never been heard that the capitalists had taken the initiative to give the workers time to rest, and that their rest and interests required the struggle of strikes, as had always been the case.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Krupp!" shouted an elderly worker.
The director of the factory smiled slightly, stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he continued: "Don't rush to say thank you first! The factory has decided to extend the maternity leave for one week for women! and give three days of nursing leave for men!"
"Mr. Krupp is really a good man! I misunderstood him!" a young worker muttered quietly, "My wife is pregnant." ”
"Mr. Krupp is a German hero who resisted French aggression!" said another worker.
After the cheers of the people calmed down again, the factory director spoke again: "In addition, the factory has decided to reward workers who have made technical contributions to the factory and built them well, with 100,000 marks plus one month of vacation!"
"Oh my God, a month's vacation! and 100,000 marks!" was boiling again, and everyone felt like they were dreaming.
"It's all because Mr. Krupp has joined a political party!" said the director with a final smile.
......
"Yes! That's right! Big Germany!" Accardo pushed open the window, looked at the sun that had risen high outside, took a breath of fresh air, regained his tired face, and said to Rommel behind him with a smile: "The only one who can save Germany is our Big German Party." ”
Outside the window, a few birds were singing in the big trees, and the Wehrmacht General Headquarters was peaceful, as if it was so calm, calm that people wanted to close their eyes and experience this comfortable and refreshing morning.
......
An officer pressed his palm on the German flag, and with the other palm stretched out three fingers pointing to the sky, he solemnly swore an oath in front of his superior, the head of the regiment: "I, Captain Skiffen Dorek, solemnly swear! I will give up my previous beliefs, voluntarily join the Greater German Party, be loyal to the Greater German Party, serve the Greater German Party for the rest of my life, and be loyal to Chairman Accardo Rudolf!" Long live Greater Germany!"
On his side, hundreds of people stood neatly, raised their hands high, pointed their three fingers to the sky, and said in a neat and loud voice: "I, XXX, hereby solemnly swear! Voluntarily join the Greater German Party, be loyal to the Greater German Party, and be loyal to President Accardo?
Not far away, between the barracks, columns of soldiers were lining up to take the oath, and everywhere there were cheers from the members of the Greater German Party.
"Long live the Greater German Party!" said Hulk, the acting commander of the 1st Division, standing in front of his staff and several regimental commanders, very proudly.
In front of him, several regiment commanders and staff officers pressed their hands on the national flag and said the oath that they must remember for the rest of their lives: "I solemnly swear! I give up my previous beliefs, voluntarily join the Greater German Party, be loyal to the Greater German Party, serve the Greater German Party for life, and be loyal to President Accardo?
......
In the Ruhr industrial area, in a branch factory in Krupp, countless workers chanted the name of Gustav Krupp, and countless workers chanted the name of the Greater German Party.
"Krupp, Krupp!" the young worker shouted frantically, shaking his arms.
"The Greater German Party is a party that works for the interests of the whole German people! It is much stronger than the poor politicians! Is anyone willing to support this party?" asked the factory director.
"Yes!" shouted countless people.
"I have joined the Greater German Party! Will you join me and become brothers and sisters whom we trust?" shouted the director again.
"We do!" shouted the men below, hysterical and insane, but everyone could hear the excitement in their voices.
"Then now we will take the oath together! After the oath is taken, I will send someone to register you, and then issue the card of the Greater German Party. The director continued to agitate.
"Yes!" everyone replied.
"No one is allowed to leave! Get out of your bastard Nazi Party, just say you don't do the garbage party!" said a strong man in the crowd.
"Whoever goes, he is the enemy of all of us!" a young worker shouted waving a wrench: "Only with the Greater German Party can we have a good life!"
"That's the truth! In case we have fewer people joining, we will be looked down upon. What should I do if these benefits are gone?" an old worker seemed to be thinking far ahead.
"We take an oath!" everyone shouted in unison to the high platform of the factory director.
"I, Director Boca Kate, take the oath here. The director said.
"I xxx hereby swear. Everyone shouted along.
"From this moment on, I will give up my previous beliefs, voluntarily join the Greater German Party, be loyal to the Greater German Party, serve the Greater German Party for the rest of my life, and be loyal to President Accardo Rudolf!
"From this moment on, I will give up my previous convictions, voluntarily join the Greater German Party, be loyal to the Greater German Party, serve the Greater German Party for the rest of my life, and be loyal to President Accardo?
"The Greater German Party will lead you to victory! Everyone will enjoy a happy future!" said the factory director at the end.
"Long live Big Germany!" "Long live Big Germany!" The shouts below rose higher and higher.
......
"So you don't want to join the Greater German Party?" Streismann asked a diplomat sitting across from him coldly. The diplomat looked at him impassively.
Streaseman stared at his arrogant men, and finally spoke again: "You know what the consequences will be if you stick to your ways. ”
"I am a member of the Social Democratic Party, sir, and I am not like you, and I cannot do anything as shameless as you. The man sneered.
"What did you say?" Streisman asked, frowning and gritting his teeth.
The man was arrogant and triumphant: "Gustav Streismmann, you have only been foreign minister for a few days, have you forgotten that you yourself have relied on the support of the German People's Party to sit in this position?"
The man sarcastically said: "As a result, you took the entire German People's Party to become a lackey of the Big German Party that you have called, and recently merged into the Big German Party in its entirety, do you say that you should be ashamed of yourself?"
"People like you will never understand what true patriots are doing! We have given up our ideals in order to make Germany strong again!" Streisman argued: "We have gone from fantasy to action!"
"The lackeys will always make a lot of excuses for themselves. The man said hatefully, "You remember me! We haven't forgotten President Ebert's blood debt!"
"You've been dismissed! Fool!" Streismann was also scolded, and said angrily: "You think you know everything! But what you don't know is that Ebert betrayed Germany first!"
"Ebert is defending Germany!" the man stood up angrily, and as he walked out, he turned back and yelled: "You are pushing Germany to ruin!
"Revenge? When you walk out of this door, you know that the revenge you are talking about is simply nonsense. Streisman sneered and whispered.
When the diplomat walked out of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was stunned by the sight of countless people on the streets, holding banners and slogans, escorted by the police to the presidential palace, and the clear handwriting on the banners suffocated him: Long live the Greater German Party.
In the president's office, Hindenburg angrily swept everything on the desk to the carpet, listened to the slogan of the Big Deutsche Party long live the eruption outside the window, and angrily shouted at his secretary: "Get Major General Accardo Rudolph! I want to ask him! I want to ask him what he wants to do! What does he want to get?"
......
"What do I want?" Accardo said with a smile as he looked at Rommel with a puzzled look on his face, "I want a German empire that is stronger than ever - and then I will rise to the pinnacle of power in this empire." ”
