Chapter 46
In the office of the German President, Hindenburg was walking around at his desk. He roared in anger: "Major General Acardo? Major General Rudolph! You are already the youngest general in Germany ever! What else do you want? What does the Great German Party mean?"
"The Great German Party is a newly formed political party. Its function is to unite people who truly love Germany and resist the unfair treatment imposed on us." Akado bent down and picked up the pen that Hindenburg threw on the carpet, and put the pen back on the bare desk with a smile.
"Of course I know that the Great German Party is your political party! I'm asking what you want to do! This morning, there were parades everywhere in Germany. They shouted the name of the Great German Party and walked around the streets and alleys, just like a group of robbers." Hindenburg said angrily: "The people of the Social Democratic Party are already angry! They will not allow you to control the government by a party that has come out halfway."
Akado smiled: "That's why I formed this party, Mr. President Hindenburg."
"What?" Hindenburg was stunned and did not react.
Akado said again: "This is why I formed this party. I don't need the government to have a different voice. What I want is a government that is completely under the control of the National Defense Forces, not a Social Democratic Party."
Hindenburg looked at Akado and didn't say anything for a long time before speaking, and then said, "Do you want to establish a military government?"
"No! President Hindenburg. I want to clear any stumbling blocks to stop the strength of the National Defense Forces, no one can stop it." Akado said firmly.
"Can you guarantee support for me to continue to rule? Support me unconditionally?" Hindenburg thought for about a few minutes, and then asked a question that relieved everyone. This question has shown that he has compromised and he is seeking support and help from a strong organization.
"You will be re-elected in the next parliamentary election. The Great German Party will support you without reservation and make you the spiritual leader of the entire Germany." Akado promised to hold his head high and his chest out.
"How sure are you?" Hindenburg continued to ask.
"German entrepreneurs, bankers, consortiums; all the National Wehrmachts; and most of the government officials will support you. You will have several times more campaign funds than your opponents, and you will also receive support from public opinion. You will be invincible in the election."
"Then, in the afternoon I will announce that the Great German Party has become a legal party in Germany. Doing so will undoubtedly offend the powerful Social Democratic Party. Is there any good way for you?" Hindenburg asked as he looked at Acardo.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the President, we still have a killer weapon that has not taken action." Akado said contemptuously: "You don't have to charge in person, we naturally have a way to pass the Congress vote. You just need to express your opinion at the end."
This made Hindenburg a little satisfied. He nodded and said, "Then I will wait for your good news."
After walking out of the president's office, Acardo saw Stresman waiting for him, with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Acardo coming out, he hurried forward: "How is it? Chairman, has President Hindenburg agreed to support us?"
"Support us?" Akado asked back, "Why does he support us?"
"What should we do?" Stresman was anxious and sweating. This was the biggest gamble in his life. If he failed, he would lose all his money.
"He asked us to support him. Remember, from today on, no one supports us, we are the most powerful beings, and we will choose who we support, not be chosen by others." Akado said with a smile as he looked at the nervous Stresman.
Stresman, who looked at Akado in a daze, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, finally came back to his senses: "You are so scared to me. Chairman."
"In the afternoon, Congress will hold an emergency meeting to discuss and vote on our party. Are your work ready?" Akado asked as he walked out.
Stresman nodded: "This is the key to our continued existence. I have already shown my greatest energy. Whether I can succeed depends on Krupp."
Akado was anxious to know the result of Krupp, so he came out of the president's office and drove back to the General Command of the National Welfare Army, where he met the steward of the Krupp family who had been waiting outside the commander's department.
"How about Krupp? Do those merchants agree to our conditions?" Although he was making a fuss about Hindenburg in the presidential office, Akado actually had no clue. He was taking risks in advance. So at this time, he asked Krupp's butler as soon as he met.
The butler was still a little slow, but he also replied directly: "Our master said when I came that he had arranged most of the staff overnight. Please rest assured by the Major General."
Hearing the words of the Krupp's butler, Akado let out a breath and relieved his concerns. He knew that this time his adventure, or the adventure of his Great German Party, had been half successful.
In the afternoon, in the hall of the Capitol, members of various parties sat down according to their positions. Most of them were discussing something with their colleagues or acquaintances around them. After all, these people had just heard about the Great German Party.
"Why bring us here? Such a shameless illegal party, as long as the police investigate and punish it, what more do you say?" A Social Democratic MP snorted coldly and mocked.
A non-partisan MP next to him glanced at him and withdrew his gaze with contempt. He said lightly. If the police had the heart to manage this incident, how could there be so many workers and citizens marching outside with banners? Last time, a small party called the National Socialist Workers' Party took to the streets with rifles in Munich, and wasn't he arrested all the time?
"Are you sure?" Stresmann, who was sitting in the corner of the front row, asked Krupp, who was on the side: "Chairman Akado was absent, which made my heart so confused."
"Don't worry, let us leave it here. Isn't this a plan planned long ago? Chairman Akado wants to be at the headquarters of the National Defense Forces to deal with all possible problems. In addition, he also needs to find a way to stabilize the German armed forces, and there is no less work than us." Krupp said in Stresman's ear: "We have done everything we can, and wait for the result."
"Silent! Let us be invited to our guests, Mr. Gustav Krupp, and let him personally state the purpose of his visit."
"Hello, Speaker, good afternoon, everyone, in view of the common political demands, I came together with many familiar people and established a brand new political party under the leadership of General Acardo Rudolph."
Finally, Krupp ended his speech with the party's outline proposed by Acardo: "...Our party will seek welfare for workers, peasants and citizens, and fight for the happiness of workers, peasants and citizens; our party will seek development for capitalists, expand technology and improve production to obtain greater profits; our party will seek survival for the empire, establish a world-class power to realize the will of Great Germany; the Great German Party is willing to sacrifice its life for the freedom and equality of all people!"
"Although I'm very good at speaking, I think as a member of Congress, I can only regret to tell you that if you, the so-called bullshit German Party, want to enter Congress, can only look forward to the next Congress election." A Social Democratic hospital said proudly.
"That's not necessarily." A MP raised his hand and said, "On behalf of the German BJP, I welcome the Greater German Party to the Congress."
"How to join? The Constitution will not allow Congress to join the small party at any time." Social Democratic MP said with a sneer.
Stresman stood up and said, "As the chairman of the German BJP, I announced that the German BJP will be reorganized and joined the Great German Party. The former German BJP seat will automatically become the Great German Party seat according to the Constitution."
He turned around and looked at a large number of Social Democratic MPs sitting on the other side and said coldly: "Now the Great German Party has entered the parliament and is fully abiding by the Constitution. Do you have nothing to say?"
"Wait a minute! They have nothing to say, we still have!" A non-partisan MP stood up: "I speak on behalf of us MPs. After discussion, we believe that the Great German Party represents the interests of the vast majority of the German people, so we decided to join the Great German Party."
"Buzz." The MPs below began to discuss again. Before the aggressive Social Democratic Party launched an offensive, the Great German Party had already made continuous moves. No one expected that the newly established Great German Party could fight with the powerful old-fashioned Social Democratic Party without losing the upper hand.
"Since the Great German Party does not know how to restrain itself, don't blame our Social Democratic Party for being tricky! Raise your hands to vote and get out of parliament!" A leader of the Social Democratic Party said loudly.
"Yes! Vote!" Around him, many Social Democratic MPs echoed loudly: "Let them see how amazing!"
A man quietly walked in at an inconspicuous side door of the hall. He hugged and walked to the corner, leaned towards a Social Democratic MP, and put it in the ear of the MP and said something. The MP's face immediately changed drastically. He quickly got up and pushed away his colleagues around him, and ran to the leaders of his party.
The man had just run to a vice chairman of the Social Democratic Party, and the process of raising hands to vote here has begun.
He had no choice but to sigh and said to his vice chairman: "The news I just received, the bribery and coercion, and many of our parliamentarians have turned to the Great German Party."
