The Third Reich in Desperation

Suddenly, a member of the Social Democratic Party waved his arms like crazy and shouted, "Ebert, are you crazy? Are you going to be a dictator! You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history." !"

A Second Lieutenant of the National Defense Forces stepped forward immediately, and punched the mad congressman to the ground. "How dare you call the president by his first name? You're courting death!"

He looked at the congressman who had his front teeth knocked out with a punch and covered the corner of his bleeding mouth.Members of the two major parties present felt a chill in their bones.

Albert, the old man who has always been submissive and constantly compromising, is showing his fiercest side at this moment.

At this moment, the 2000 Wehrmacht soldiers in the hall are obviously loyal to Albert!

Without making a fuss, mobilize 2000 troops who dare to follow him to surround the parliament.Albert is by no means as incompetent as he appears on the surface!

Leading the way to the door, the bloated Albert slowly turned around, stared at the congressman lying on the ground with my mouth covered, waved and shouted: "Yes, I am a dictator; at the same time, I signed the Treaty of Versailles." Sinner! Let my name be engraved on the pillar of infamy of history! I, Friedrich Ebert, don't care!"

As soon as Albert finished speaking, a colonel of the National Defense Forces shouted with a hoarse voice: "Everyone!"

The 2000 soldiers turned to Albert in unison at this moment.

"Salute!" The 2000 German Wehrmacht standard military salutes brought a burst of visual impact to everyone.At the same moment, several reporters from the Social Worker Press pressed their flashlights one after another.The congress hall was flooded with dazzling white light...

History is fixed at this moment.

The next day, social workers' newspapers printed black and white versions of the photo.On the headline, a line of bold and eye-catching headlines is particularly eye-catching.

"Sinner? Hero!"

Text Chapter 39 A New Beginning (Staying Up All Night to Code)

At the same time that Abbott forcefully dissolved the old parliament and handed over the new parliament to the Socialist Workers Party.In the German cabinet, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice, which were once controlled by the two major parties in the parliament, and the Ministry of Finance, which was secretly controlled by the Juncker nobles, have undergone a major change after an extremely secretive turmoil.

Almost overnight, a large number of unfamiliar faces added to each department, quickly and skillfully took over various tasks.Without sufficient preparation, it is absolutely impossible to connect so precisely.

All phenomena show that Albert has never given up on these departments that were given up in exchange for benefits at the beginning.

The whole blood exchange process is precise and fast.Let the Gestapo, which has always been targeting this, feel ashamed.

At the same time, the German Foreign Office also coordinated a round of diplomatic tug-of-war.

First, Germany expressed its gratitude to Britain and the United States for their assistance in the Ruhr mediation.For this reason, Germany and the two countries quickly signed a naval development agreement, promising that the total tonnage of the German navy will never exceed 25% of the total tonnage of the British Navy or the US Navy.

The British and American governments were perfectly satisfied with this, as Germany showed no desire to threaten their maritime interests.

On the contrary, the German navy will become a regional navy, developed into a slightly weaker French navy but capable of threatening the French navy.

As a result, the United Kingdom and the United States did not issue an official statement on the turbulent situation in Germany.

The German government is also very satisfied.Due to the loss of Operation Rainbow, in fact, Germany's existing naval tonnage is less than 5% of that of the United Kingdom and the United States.In other words, even if the German shipyard is running at full capacity, it is impossible to exceed this seemingly low standard within 10 years.

Against the Belgian government, Germany voluntarily returned 3 Belgian soldiers captured in the Ruhr Battle.The move has been silently supported by the Belgian government amidst the internal strife in Germany.

The Dutch government, on the other hand, received a huge secret submarine order from Krupp.All orders are paid in U.S. dollars, yes, U.S. loans that have been secretly embezzled.

Therefore, the Dutch government, which has always attached importance to the interests of wealth in history, issued a statement unexpectedly, saying that they will support the Germans' own decision.

In Austria, the "Masters" arranged by the Gestapo in the early stage played the emotional card, advocating that Germany and Austria are in the same line, and that Austria should not add insult to injury and harm the national stability of its compatriots.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the Austrian government announced that it would not interfere in Germany's internal affairs.

A bald leader far away in Italy, Mussolini, who had just won power through the "March into Rome", even praised Albert's dictatorial methods.

Mussolini, who also aimed at dictatorship, naively asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a congratulatory message to Germany.

What is even more surprising is that no one raised any objections from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They naively stated such an unspeakable matter and even issued a congratulatory message.

Even the Soviet Union, which has always been excluded far in the east, issued a statement saying that the Soviet Union would treat the German government as before.

In the eyes of European countries, this statement is nothing more than a way for the Soviet Union to show its presence.

However, from the perspective of Germany, which has just suppressed the Bolshevik Party in the country, this sudden statement shows another meaning-the secret cooperation between the two countries will not be affected in any way by this incident.

Most of the remaining European countries have chosen to remain silent, except for France and Poland.

France strongly demanded that Germany restore the state of the original parliament and condemned Ebert's bad behavior of attempting dictatorship.

Poland, France's eastern ally, copied France's attitude almost intact.

Finally, thanks to Zhang Chengtian's efforts, Germany and France signed a secret compensation agreement.

The agreement stipulates that Germany will pay 1 million marks in compensation to compensate France for its losses in the Battle of the Ruhr, allowing Germany to pay in installments.

The French were delighted. In their view, the abused Germany had once again been forced into unequal treaties.

Zhang Chengtian was also very happy, because he knew that no matter how much compensation was paid, it was nothing more than a figure for Germany now, and he was not prepared to pay it back.As long as the French are happy, let alone 1 million marks, even 10 billion marks, 100 billion marks... no problem.

After the French government abruptly stopped its condemnation of Germany, an independent Polish government quietly stopped its provocations against Germany.

In response to this diplomatic victory, the Social Worker News quickly publicized it, claiming that this was Germany's first diplomatic victory since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

The mood of the people was directed in the direction of pride and joy.The few dissonant voices accusing Albert of dictatorship were quickly drowned out.

However, it was the day after Abbott left the hall of Parliament.The president who has taken on too many dark sides for Germany is bedridden.

Due to the news blockade, even Albert's secretary still doesn't know about Albert's physical condition.

But Albert's worsening health is a clear fact.Zhang Chengtian originally planned to have a good talk with the legendary head of state, so Sickert urgently called him to the government hospital in the central area of ​​Berlin.

When Zhang Chengtian, who was complaining all the way, stepped into the ward cursingly, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Albert was originally in poor health, and the old man in history only lived to be 54 years old.But this time, due to overwork, Albert, who had a bad heart, developed heart failure a full two years earlier than in history.

When Zhang Chengtian saw Albert, the old man was completely different from how he looked in the office a few days ago.

Zhang Chengtian was a little surprised, this old man who was able to communicate with him freely a few days ago, was lying weakly on the hospital bed after only a few days.

Looking at Albert's withered right hand, which was pasted with white tape and inserted with a needle.Zhang Chengtian suddenly felt a pang of heartache for the senile president with swollen eye bags, followed by a steady stream of admiration.

You know, it is such an old man with a sick body who fought against Congress yesterday.Forcefully dissolved the Congress and took over all responsibilities.

This old man has spent most of his life in constant compromise.But at the last moment, he shot uncharacteristically and brazenly.

He could have continued to choose to spend the rest of his life quietly, but he chose to become a dictator destined to be reviled by others and nailed to the pillar of shame in German history.

Just like when he was a scapegoat for nobles and consortia and signed the Treaty of Versailles.

This time, in order to pave the way for the Socialist Workers Party resolutely, he chose to be infamous as a dictator at the last moment of his life.

The only difference is that this time it is a choice made entirely by himself.

Feeling guilty in his heart, Zhang Chengtian didn't speak for a long time. He sat quietly on the stretchable stool beside Albert's hospital bed, but he couldn't organize an opening speech.
