Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

The victory of the Austro-Prussian War increased the momentum of the right-wing political forces headed by Tina. Demonstrations supporting the iron-blood policy appeared across the country. They supported the complete dismemberment of Austria and the unification of Greater Germany, and were willing to support the continued launch of the unification campaign. Germany's war.

August felt a little uneasy about this situation. After seeing the strength of the Prussian army, the people began to swell. Everyone was very confident in Prussia. The nationalism and the Great Germans inspired by this were eager to He hoped to launch another war to completely unify the entire German region and restore the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the parliament hall, the opponents who usually competed with Tina were unwilling to speak now. After all, they had just been slapped in the face, and the public opinion outside was madly supporting Tina. If he dared to make some discord at this time The sound sounded like she didn’t want to do it anymore.

August was very alert to the serious imbalance in government institutions. She could not allow Prussia to gallop towards nationalism and militarism. She had to find ways to control this situation.

For this reason, August reached out to the Workers' and Peasants' Association. Since the Communist Party's manifesto was issued, small-scale proletarian parties have been formed in various countries. August chose the most moderate representative among them, the Prussian Workers' and Peasants' Consultation. The Workers' and Peasants' Association, referred to as the Workers' and Peasants' Association, opposed radical revolution and advocated promoting government reform through legal means.

August still admired these proletarians and adopted many of their ideas. This enabled August to gain widespread support from the proletariat even as a monarch. The current leader of the Workers' and Peasants' Association is named Li Poney. West.

Augustus personally invited Li Ponessi to come to Sanssouci Palace to talk with her. She hoped that proletarian reformists like the Workers' and Peasants' Association could participate in Prussian politics.

This made Li Ponessi a little flattered. He finally borrowed a suit and hired a carriage to take him to Sanssouci Palace. Only two comrades came with him. He could see Wushou from the outside. With the magnificent scenery of the Palace of Sorrow, when she actually came into contact with Auguste at close range, Li Ponessi found that she did not seem to have the airs of a king, nor was she condescending.

"Mr. Lee Pokernesi, what do you think about politics?"

"We have always believed that His Highness August is absolutely enlightened and that you can make the most correct judgment. Our Workers' and Peasants' Association only hopes to slowly improve our lives so that more workers can have a better life."

August looked at the young man in front of him, "The parliamentary election is about to begin, and I happen to have a quota in my hand. If the Workers' and Peasants' Association can represent the Prussian proletarians, I will be happy to give you this recommendation vote." "

"Is that so? If His Highness August is willing to help, we will be very grateful to you."

Li Pokernesi has long wanted to participate in politics. The proletarian faction during this period was still relatively simple. Most of them just wanted to bring their opinions to the parliament. In other words, they still had illusions about the bourgeoisie. , and also believes that only theoretical justice is needed to let those capitalists delegate their powers with words.

"Don't be too happy too early. Even if I recommend you, I will not interfere too much with the results of the election. In other words, you still have to defeat the bourgeois liberals and the Juncker aristocratic conservatives on your own, and in the end you can win It’s up to you how many seats you get.”

Augustus did not intend to really hand over power to them. He just wanted to find some parties to oppose the conservatives in Parliament. Augustus also only planned to give one-fifth of the seats to the Workers' and Peasants' Association so that they could You can speak out and put forward opinions, but you cannot influence the political arena.

Li Ponessi was very happy. He certainly believed that August planned to support them and make them part of August's sphere of influence. This was equivalent to obtaining an absolutely powerful protective umbrella.

In this era, the degree of persecution of trade unionists by the old forces is no less than the mutual persecution between Catholics and Protestants, so it can be said that it is very dangerous for them to do this, and August is willing to give them a microphone. The treatment of proletarian parties is already much better than that of proletarian parties in other countries.

When Li Ponessi returned to the Union from Sanssouci Palace, he excitedly said to his colleagues, "Her Highness Auguste is trustworthy. She hopes to improve our lives. We are becoming Her Majesty Auguste." party."

At August's request, Liebernessi changed his name to the Prussian People's Party and officially participated in the election.

When the results of the July polls were announced, August added fifty more seats to the parliament, and the People's Party's votes allowed them to obtain the fifty extra seats in the parliament. Although a large part of the reason was that August gave them the recommendation vote, the result of this election was still full of confidence in the People's Party. They were now finally participating in the political party. The First International next door shed tears of envy.

When their members walked into the hall of Congress for the first time, they found that many people were looking at them with contempt in their eyes. Members of the People's Party generally did not have Feng in their names, and they were looking at liberals and conservatives. I always feel inferior to others.

The seat of the People's Assembly was in a very strange position. It happened to be in the first row. Li Ponessi was very nervous, which meant that they would face the most powerful woman in the country besides Auguste.

When Tina walked into the conference hall, all the discussion stopped. She read out her bill in an unquestionable tone. She believed that workers' wages should be cut, unemployment benefits, pensions and other things should be cancelled. medical insurance.

Don't talk about the People's Party represented by Lee Pokernesi. Even the bourgeois liberals are living in Bengbu. What's wrong with you? It doesn't matter if you cut wages or cancel unemployment benefits, but don't withdraw my pension!

For those who have invested money in pensions, pensions can create a lot of income. Of course, they do not want this thing to be cancelled, otherwise who will lend them the money and waste it!

When the vote came, most of the members chose to abstain, but only the People's Party was the most stubborn and all voted against it. Tina looked at this group of people with admiration. Later, Tina casually made a few outrageous proposals. As the people Despite the party's opposition, some liberals also chose to vote against it.

In the end, none of Tina's outrageous requests were accepted.

Tina returned to August's office, and August asked with a smile, "How was it? Is everything going well with the council?"

"You are a little more objective, so you can pass the test, but you are also quite willful. The number of seats in the parliament will be increased as soon as possible. Have you not considered the ideas of those liberals?"

"They won't have a problem with it, I'll make it okay with them."

August asked Tina to speak about the outrageous proposals at the meeting, just to see if the People's Party could stand up against Tina. Although August had reasons, they dared to vote for this. The negative vote proved that they still wanted to do something, and August agreed to give them a place in the parliament.
