As the chairman of the German Peasants' and Workers' Party, Hans von Furmanreid, who is only 35 years old, is not the same type of person as the members of the two major parties.
Hans's position as chairman of the German Peasants' and Workers' Party did not rely on political means. The reason why Hans, who was still young, was elected chairman was entirely based on his integrity and excellent organizational skills.
At this time, Hans was exchanging "experiences" with one of his good friends, Vit Lee Doyles, a non-party member of the German Peasants' and Workers' Party who was assigned a seat next to him.
Hans pretended to be surprised and said: "The two major parties in the Congress actually turned a deaf ear to the Ruhr victory that just happened. They really didn't know that the Socialist Workers Party, which they called an unknown party, was in
How famous is it among the people?"
Werther sneered and said: "Come on, with your shrewdness Hans, you can't see it? Why do others need to tell the truth? As long as it is what they believe, isn't it always the truth?"
Hans pretended to be suddenly enlightened, clapped his hands and shouted: "Awesome, no wonder they are the first and second largest parties. It turns out that they all rely on this ability to confuse right and wrong. It seems that we are indeed better than others in some aspects."
Not like anyone else."
The conversation between Hans and Werther aroused laughter from the surrounding MPs. Sitting here are all members of the German Peasants' Labor Party and non-partisan MPs. None of them can affect the status quo, so Hans's ridicule was received at this moment.
Their unanimous resonance.
Witte, who had no sense of humor, laughed bitterly. When everyone gradually stopped laughing, Witte solemnly said: "Actually, I have wanted to quit this seat for a long time. What happened today made me understand one thing, no matter our
The Congress, which is controlled by the two major political parties, doesn’t care what your opinions are. Instead of staying in this disgusting place to serve as a wedding dress for the two major political parties, it’s better to leave as soon as possible.”
Hans stood up, walked to Werther, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Good friend, I will accompany you."
Hans, who has always been humorous, had a serious expression on his face when he said this.
Just six German words gave Werther a new understanding of his usually playful and smiling friend.
Unlike Witte, as the chairman of the German Peasants' and Workers' Party, Hans's withdrawal had a great impact. Among other things, Hans had to make a profound review of the party. Even so, Hans's chairmanship
It is estimated that it will still be unprotected.
Stopping Werther who wanted to persuade him, Hans smiled and said: "This is not my personal opinion."
Behind Hans, a total of 37 members of the German Peasants and Workers Party stood up one after another, "Yes, we originally joined the Congress 'for the German people', but now we are withdrawing from a Congress that only serves the two major political parties. We all
Voluntarily withdraw with the Chairman."
Behind Witte, more than 20 nonpartisan members of Congress also stood up at some point and said: "We have nothing to miss in this Congress!" "Yes, if we go together, I will be sick for the rest of my life if I stay here.
of!"
As if they did not see the commotion here, the members of the Social Democratic Party continued to chatter: "To put it aside, why the League of Nations helped Germany mediate is mainly because Germany has a parliament that represents rationality. The League of Nations believes that the German Parliament is impartial and selfless.
It is trustworthy. The League of Nations believes that the German Parliament will urge the government to deal with emergencies rationally."
With the Social Democrats and Bolsheviks in their hands, Hans and his party stood up angrily: "What nonsense is impartiality? The Congress has almost become a private coordination meeting of the two major political parties."
"Bastards, we quit. Whoever wants to be a trash congressman will be treated as such." Witte, who had always been gentle and civilized in conversation, suddenly made a loud and rude statement. This surprised many people who knew Witte...
Seeing this unexpected situation, the first reaction of many legislators from the two major parties was not shame, but a sneer of pride at the corners of their mouths.
Does anyone want to withdraw from the seat? The two major parties want it! It is best for these uncooperative people to withdraw until only members of the two major parties are left, plus some members who maintain friendly relations with the two major parties.
Suddenly, when several members of the Social Democratic Party who responded quickly glanced at the gate, the smiles on their faces suddenly turned stiff.
One after another, soldiers carrying G98 Mauser rifles poured into the gate and surrounded the entire Congress hall.
The MPs quickly recognized their ugly dusty uniforms - the uniforms of the German Wehrmacht!
Weiss, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party, and Bruce, the chairman of the Bolshevik Party, two usually arrogant figures, turned pale in an instant.
They felt that things were developing in the direction they thought was most impossible.
The reporter's camera was asked to be handed over by a colonel of the National Defense Forces with a loud voice.
Then, without waiting for the reporters to react, a group of National Defense Force soldiers held up the black muzzles and confiscated the cameras in everyone's hands one by one.
Everyone's cameras had their film removed, except for a few reporters from the social worker newspaper.
These reporters representing the Gestapo quickly dispersed and set their angles, focusing their cameras on President Albert in the center of the hall.
The old man standing in the center of the hall was still standing there quietly as before.
But for a moment, no one dared to despise him like before!
"I declare that the Weimar Republic has entered a state of emergency and implemented military control. Anyone who disobeys orders will be deemed as treason. At the same time, the German Parliament is dissolved. Parliamentary functions will be completed by the Provisional Parliament formed by the Socialist Workers Party."
After Albert finished this incredibly short sentence, he calmly turned around and left.
Before leaving, the old man left a faint sentence: "There is no reason."
Hans, Werther and others who had already left were very lucky that they almost missed this dramatic reversal.
The members of the two major parties, who originally thought everything was under control, lost all color on their faces, and looked completely different from how they looked 10 minutes ago.
As for the congressmen who had just left the meeting angrily, they received an invitation from the director of a social worker newspaper to stand outside the "encirclement" of the National Defense Forces and watch the congressmen from the two major parties in the encirclement continue to "perform".
Suddenly, a member of the Social Democratic Party waved his arms like crazy and yelled, "Albert, 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 Force immediately stepped forward and punched the crazed congressman to the ground. "How dare you call the president by his name, you are seeking death!"
Looking at the congressman who had his front teeth knocked out by a punch and covering the corners of his bleeding mouth, the congressmen from the two major parties present felt a chill in their bones.
Albert, this old man who had always been submissive and constantly compromising, showed his most ferocious side at this moment.
The 2,000 Wehrmacht soldiers in the hall at this moment are obviously all Albert's die-hard loyalists!
Without making a move, he mobilized 2,000 troops who dared to follow him and surround the parliament. Albert, this person, is by no means as incompetent as he appears!
After walking to the door, Albert, who was a bit fat, slowly turned around, stared at the congressman lying on the ground and covered his mouth, 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 shame of history! I, Friedrich Ebert, don’t care!”
As soon as Albert finished speaking, a colonel from the National Defense Forces shouted in a hoarse voice: "Everyone is included!"
The 2,000 soldiers all turned towards Albert at this moment.
"Salute!" 2,000 German Wehrmacht standard military salutes brought a visual impact to everyone. At the same moment, several reporters from the Social Workers Newspaper Press flashed their lights. The Congress Hall was flooded with dazzling white light...
History is fixed at this moment.
The next day, the social work newspapers printed black and white versions of this photo. On the headlines, a line of bold and eye-catching headlines attracted special attention.
