The Third Reich in Desperation

Third Reich Episode 37

Outside the hall, there was a chaotic dispute, as if a fight had taken place.

Gustav felt it, it was his supporters who were protesting.

Perhaps outside the Capitol, there has already been a fight.I really hope they can beat up those poor Jews, Gustav thought secretly.

The voting results will be announced soon, and the young host who announces the results walks up to the rostrum with the written manuscript.

At the same time, a Liberal Party official who stayed in the office was calling the restaurant: "Hello, is the manager of the Berlin Hotel? Yes, we are Gustav's team who ordered dinner tonight. Help me prepare some more wine, high alcohol .Also, please remove the celebratory banners and turn off the music."

In the police station, a Jewish businessman who was taking notes on the road said viciously to the police officer: "When Marshal Hindenburg comes to power, you will all pay the price. At that time, you may find me to help you intercede."

In the congress hall, Childe Meyer was shaking hands with Hindenburg.With an undisguised joking expression, Meyer glanced at the corner where Gustav's team was staying with a smile, and glanced at the direction of the rostrum.

In an instant, Meyer's smile froze on his face, and his pupils dilated rapidly.

The right hand he was holding with Hindenburg suddenly felt the strength from the other side.Looking back, Hindenburg's eyes were also full of shock.

In the corner of the congress hall, Gustav and his party stood up in shock.It took all their strength not to roar out at this solemn moment.

A premonition spread in everyone's heart.The young host on the stage happened to be a German star whom each of them knew - Zhang Chengtian, the leader of the Socialist Workers Party and who supported Gustav's election for the presidency!

On the rostrum, Zhang Chengtian, who just took the stage, smiled and faced the reporter's flashing lights and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Gustav, who won 40.00% of the votes, and defeated Mr. Hindenburg with [-]% and [-]% of the votes. One Mr. Meyer."

From the corner of the congress hall, a crazy cry rose into the sky.Then, a group of members of Gustav's team blushed, pumped their fists and laughed wildly.

With a few seconds of broadcast delay, the news was transmitted to all corners of Germany.

The crowd supporting Gustav jumped and shouted in the streets and alleys.They tried their best to celebrate this incredible result.

The two female members of the Liberal Party who stayed in the office building heard the broadcast just before going through the formalities of returning the rent.Tears burst out of my eyes in an instant.Two female party members cried and hugged each other.

A few months ago, the person who came to the office building to make trouble and yelled "Who did it!", the troublesome voice seemed so kind on today's broadcast.

In the congress hall, Gustav grabbed the right hand of Zhang Chengtian who had just stepped off the stage with a trembling voice and said, "God... I won, I won!"

Zhang Chengtian smiled and said, "I'm not God, I just won back justice for you."

In the police station, the Jewish businessmen who heard the broadcast were all ashamed.They finally closed their boastful mouths and wrote the notes quietly.

On the square directly opposite the Capitol, Police Chief Moss turned off the radio with a smile.

That's right, he knows how to be an official!That's why he ordered the Jewish businessmen to be taken away.

Text Chapter 57 Who is the Head of State

Gustav's coming to power paved the last brick for Zhang Chengtian's plan to transform Germany.

It took only a few years for the Socialist Workers Party to further expand its power and reach its peak.

The New York, which was originally issued as a commemorative coin, completely replaced the original currency mark under Schacht's operation.The ground rent mark used during the transition period was cancelled, and the indemnity of the Treaty of Versailles became a thing of the past.

Thus, an interesting phenomenon emerged.Germany still paid the Mark reparation to France, and paid off the arrears of reparation for the first time, and added the extra reparation promised by Zhang Chengtian before.But the French were not at all happy.

The mark still exists, but its exchange rate with the dollar has reached 1000000 to 1.At the same time, the New York has also become Germany's second currency, and the exchange rate with the US dollar is only 1.8 to 1.

Protests from France are stronger than ever, but only from France.Under the control of the United Kingdom and the United States, the League of Nations announced that Germany's reparations were still legal, and France's protest was invalid.

Under the shadow of Ruhr's defeat, the whole of France could not show a stronger posture.The French army, from top to bottom, was not determined to defeat Germany.

Of course, there is still action.The French government approved a proposal to speed up the construction of the Maginot Line, adding 5000 million enamel funds to the Maginot project.

In contrast to France's actions, the German parliament has put on hold a move to increase military spending.Use all your energy to strengthen your country's infrastructure.

Under the leadership of the German government, the Weimar Republic launched the "Gustav New Deal".

The new policy of the Weimar government is very simple. It is to call on the people to work through the social worker newspaper, which has become the number one newspaper in Germany since the last presidential election, and to provide relief with work.Started building highways, as well as major public works.

This move nearly eliminated over 90.00% of unemployment in Germany, and many workers even got paid holidays.

The Socialist Workers Party also took the opportunity to carry out a large number of publicity training and poverty alleviation activities.Promise that as long as you join the Socialist Workers Party and participate in joint actions, you can be guaranteed food, in-kind subsidies, and jobs.Many homeless people even get welfare housing.

After having the support of public opinion from the largest party in the country, and solving the unemployment problem.The nascent Weimar government began to popularize welfare benefits. Although the efforts were not strong, at least many pragmatic policies were introduced.

Of course, to achieve the above changes, the most inseparable thing is money!

For this reason, the Weimar government once again acquiesced in the establishment of a new paramilitary organization - the SA!

Because the members of the stormtroopers wear brown uniforms, they are also known as the brown shirts, or SA for short.In the founding manifesto, members of the stormtroopers must swear that they will follow the leader willingly as a "steel organization".

Their so-called leader was Hitler, the founder of the SA and the nominal leader of the Socialist Workers Party.Their chief of staff was Captain Ernst Rohm, the staff officer of the Seventh Military District of the Munich Army.

Although letting Hitler have his own force made Zhang Chengtian feel dangerous, but in order to find a scapegoat to do the dirty work, Zhang Chengtian was determined to take the risk.

Historically, the SS was a branch of the SA.This time, the SA existed as a branch of the SS.

Thus, this organization that existed on the dark side of the Republic began to "serve Goethe with beer cans and chair legs."

Night after night, a group of members wearing brown uniforms broke into the manors of major Jewish merchants, plundered gold, silver and jewelry, and even killed people.

In the past few years, countless Jewish businessmen have been robbed of their family property that has been accumulated for a long time.The Childe Consortium, which was once all-powerful in Germany, declared bankruptcy and dissolved.

Of course, the Weimar government also allowed Jewish businessmen to leave Germany, but there was a prerequisite for leaving, and that was to leave the house clean!

Many Jewish tycoons stayed in this dangerous area with trepidation because they were reluctant to part with the wealth they had collected from Germany over the years.

As a result, the misers were systematically purged by the stormtroopers one by one.

In 3 years, the stormtroopers collected more than 60 billion new k for the government of the republic, which was a shady fund.

Surprisingly, most people in the country don't care about what happened to these businessmen.They had grown disillusioned with the old Weimar Republic government, which had done nothing after World War I and could not even guarantee basic unemployment benefits.Now that the nascent government can bring them a stable life, why oppose the government's measures?

The panicked Jewish businessmen even turned to the suppressed President Gustav for help.

Therefore, Zhang Chengtian, who has been promoted to Lieutenant General of the National Defense Forces, received the mission to protect the property safety of the Jewish chaebol.

Zhang Chengtian did it, and the property of the merchants was safely put into the national treasury, in absolute safety!

In the end, the civil organization SS announced that it will provide protection for all businessmen in the country, including both property and life.The premise is that merchants need to pay 80.00% of their entire property.

Merchants who are good at doing business choose this robber-like protection.At least, they can guarantee their own safety on the premise of leaving 20.00% of their property.

The largest collection of protection fees in German history was carried out very smoothly.

The SS did indeed guarantee the safety of the merchants.All businessmen who hand in protection fees are fully protected.There are even SS soldiers who stand guard for them at different times.

These SS soldiers in black uniforms were photographed from a handsome angle by a reporter from the Workers and Peasants Daily.Printed at the end of every newspaper as a positive propaganda for the safety of Jewish merchants by the SS.

After less than two months of publicity, almost all the remaining Jewish businessmen handed over "protection fees" to the SS.
