In the Reichstag building in central Berlin, more than 500 members of Congress were summoned urgently by Albert. What awaited them was the craziest bill in German history.
A BMW parked in the parking area of the Capitol Building. President Albert, who was 50 years old, slowly got out of the car with his hands on the door. Due to excessive fatigue, Albert's health was much worse than that of his peers. Even Albert
Even Burt's secretary could see that the president's days were numbered.
Looking at the inscription on the Capitol, Albert's inner passion burst out as if a floodgate had been opened.
The main building is inlaid with a line of Gothic fonts "For the German People", which are only three words in German. But in Albert's view, these three simple words summed up his tenure as president.
All ideas and pursuits.
The Reichstag building in front of Albert is located in the center of Berlin. It embodies various architectural styles of classical, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. It is a symbol of German reunification. It was once opposed by Wilhelm II.
, the inscription "For the German People" on the building was only put on during the First World War.
Here we have witnessed the glory and fall of Germany, and experienced every major decision made by Germany.
Today, Albert, who has begun to show his age and whose term is approaching, is determined to pass a bill in his last time, a bill that entrusts the hope of German rejuvenation.
Just like the Capitol building is a collection of glass and steel, the members of Congress are also diverse. The minority independent members tend to vote fairly, while the majority members of all parties often vote selfishly.
Put the interests of your own party first.
When Abbott walked into the lobby of the Houses of Parliament accompanied by an aide, Abbott, who has been involved in politics for many years, immediately saw something fishy.
Almost all members of the political parties gathered separately to discuss the bills that the president will propose next. Members of the parties who maintain friendly relations with each other are greeting each other and hinting to the public that they will unite in the vote.
And MPs who have joined a major party like the Socialist National Party occupy a large number of seats, even more than the seats of all non-party MPs next to them combined.
Entering the hall, Albert ignored the "performances" of the congressmen and strode to the center of the Congress hall. He stretched out his hands with some panting and supported the wooden handrails that had been placed in the center of the hall in advance. Such handrails were specially designed for physical conditions.
The poor Albert temporarily installed it. A 0.4-meter-high armrest was added to a mahogany table about one meter, and a pear wood seat was placed behind the table. This way the president can be more comfortable after he is tired from speaking.
Sit down and continue.
However, Albert obviously didn't appreciate this. Albert almost kicked the chair away and just grabbed the armrest with all his strength.
Due to physical reasons, before Albert had time to speak, beads of hot sweat appeared on his forehead. However, Albert had already shown his unwillingness to sit down with a weak kick.
This is an attitude! Many social democratic MPs were a little surprised. Abbott, who has always been moderate, used such a way to open his remarks, showing his tough attitude. They had a vague feeling that the bill brought by Abbott might have some
Tricky.
"Silence. Next, President Abbott will tell everyone his purpose of convening parliament this time." The speaker made a brief opening statement.
"Hello, fellow German parliamentarians. I am the President of the Weimar Republic, Albert." Albert, who was still out of breath, stopped and rested for a few seconds.
Unlike his physical exhaustion, Albert was extremely excited in his heart at this time. He had a hunch that what he had to do today would be of greater significance than all the achievements he had made during his tenure as president in the past few years!
How long had it been since he became a politician that he had not been so enthusiastic? Since becoming a politician, how many times had he had to make compromises; how many times had he had to make decisions that were contrary to his heart.
But now it seems that the passion deep in my heart has not dissipated, and the hot blood flowing in every blood vessel has not cooled down!
The corners of Albert's mouth raised slightly, and he spoke with a long-lost confident tone like a young man to a large number of MPs: "Today, my proposal is very simple. That is to join a brand new political party in Congress, the Socialist Workers Party.
.At the same time, the proposal is to create 300 additional seats for the Socialist Workers Party.”
As soon as Abbott's words came out, there was an uproar immediately. A total of 300 additional seats were added. This would be a major blow to the existing balance of power in Congress. The Social Democratic Party, which holds the largest number of seats in Congress, would lose 53 seats as a result.
The difference dropped to second place.
Faced with Abbott suddenly coming up with this bill, which has a huge impact and touches the vested interests of all major parties, no matter how calm you are, you can't help but scream in surprise.
"There has never been any precedent for such a thing. It is completely unreasonable," shouted a tall, thin man with a monocle and a member of the Bolshevik Party, which has the second-largest number of seats in parliament.
"I protest because this is damaging to the stability of Congress."
"I also protest, this is simply a joke..."
Members of parliament from all major parties protested one after another, and the rising voices of dissatisfaction far outweighed the speaker's meager "quiet" voice.
"Mr. President, I don't think you have the right to increase the number of seats in Congress without permission. You don't even have the right to add this unknown trash party to Congress, let alone give them seats." After the congressmen gradually quieted down, a social democrat said
The old congressman spoke slowly.
His voice was not loud, but it hit the point. Yes, Albert did not have this right!
The old congressman then joked: "If the President needs it, you can use your entrusted power to file a case. However, whether the case can be passed depends on the voting results."
At this point, almost all the congressmen present understood. It is impossible for Abbott's proposal to be passed. At least for now, the decision-making power is still in the hands of the largest party, the Social Democratic Party and the second largest party, the Bolshevik Party. And this
Members of the two political parties have just expressed their attitudes.
A non-partisan MP sighed. In fact, he was very contemptuous of the actions of the two major parties. Everyone knows that the Socialist Workers Party is an unknown small party. The whole country celebrated the event some time ago.
How come this great victory came about? They don’t know. It’s just for their own benefit.
The current parliament has long lost its original intention of "for the German people".
Look at those sanctimonious members of Congress. They occasionally take advantage of the influence of their parents, occasionally take advantage of legal gaps, and sometimes take advantage of the beauty of human nature; they crazily amass money, form parties for personal gain, are cruel and treacherous, and even collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!
As a nonpartisan member of Congress who was unwilling to join the others, he strongly agreed with President Abbott in introducing a clean stream like the Socialist Workers Party into Congress. However, Abbott's appetite was too big. If he could hold the right seat
If the additional requirements are narrowed appropriately, it might be possible to pass. As it is now, it is absolutely impossible to succeed if it touches the core interests of the two major parties from the very beginning!
Didn't Albert know that this would cause a strong reaction?
Of course he knows. As a veteran who has been in politics all his life, Albert understands the nature of those who have vested interests too well. But he has no choice, he has no time to slowly change the status quo!
Born to die, Albert will use bone scraping to remove the cancer in Congress!
There are too many things that need to be done in Germany today. Albert believes that he does not have time to carry out gradual reforms. He does not even know whether his body can survive until the end of his term.
What he has to do now is to do his best to bring the Socialist Workers Party to power. The next reforms will be carried out by this emerging party.
Albert is not sure whether the Socialist Workers Party can completely reform and change the status quo that even he himself has not been able to change. But he is willing to believe in Zhang Chengtian, who leads this party, and believes that this man once analyzed the current situation in Germany to him clearly and accurately in Stuttgart.
of young people predicting the future.
At that time, Zhang Chengtian was just a small captain. If it weren't for his accurate prediction of the time of Kapp's coup and the government's escape route, and then meeting the exiled government in Stuttgart in advance, Albert, who was president at the time, would not have been able to escape.
Maybe strike up a conversation with this young man.
Ignoring the noise of the congressmen, Albert happily thought that he might be kicking off a legend.
