Chapter 53 The Presidential Controversy

On November 8, 1923, the Beer Can Riot, which was originally launched in history to seize power, did not occur because the Socialist Workers Party gained power in advance.

But this day is also worthy of attention, because it is the day when the German people will decide who their next president will be.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, many people had already gone out together. They excitedly took their electoral votes with them to vote for the presidential candidates.

This is a national event that has something to do with every citizen. Every German people hopes that their vote can make Germany's future better.

After Ebert was killed, rumors about conspiracy theories never stopped. In the end, Sickert, who was also qualified, did not participate in the election. He refuted the conspiracy theories with practical actions, and at the same time gave up an opportunity to leave his name.

An opportunity to make history. History is even more likely to remember a mediocre president than a good general.

Of course, the three presidential candidates participating in the election this time are not mediocre people.

In addition to Hindenburg, a military representative with a profound background who has won numerous honors; Childe Meyer, a business wizard who is shrewd and eloquent and famous in the business world; and Gustav, a political genius who was originally preparing to run for prime minister.

.

The above three people come from the military, business and political circles respectively. It can be said that they represent the most important elites from the three circles in Germany. Future national policies will definitely be very different because of their personal backgrounds.

And now, it is the German people's turn to make a choice!

The traditional newspapers controlled by the Juncker consortium have been working hard to promote the heroic Marshal Hindenburg for two months. The Jewish consortium, under the leadership of the Child family, has also repeatedly promoted Childe Maier through the Voice of Liberty newspaper.

After Jesus was elected president, the people could benefit from it. The Gestapo also continued to expose the shortcomings of the other two political laymen through the social workers and newspapers in serving as president.

For a time, major newspapers began to tout their own presidential candidates and paint a bright future. At the same time, they tried their best to belittle other presidential contenders and smeared their opponents without any bottom line.

"In my opinion, Field Marshal Hindenburg is the only reasonable presidential candidate." An old man who managed the last world war foamed at the mouth of the pollster who interviewed him: "Everyone who has seen Hindenburg

Anyone who saw the Marshal's outstanding performance in the last world war will understand what a brave and strong leader Marshal Hindenburg was. What Germany needs now is such a strong leader."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of that of this old gentleman." A middle-aged man standing on the right hand side of the old man replied with a smile: "My vote will be for Mr. Gustav, because he is the only one who is astute and mature."

Politician. The future president should be a politician who knows how to make choices, so that he can set a more reasonable direction for Germany."

The same interview took place in every large square. In Stuttgart, in the Ruhr area, in Munich, in Berlin... Every region and every polling place is gradually welcoming more and more people.

crowd.

On Alexanderplatz in Berlin, a black Mercedes-Benz car slowly bypassed the crowds on the main road and entered the reserved yellow line parking area.

Hindenburg, who was dressed in military uniform, prominently pinned the Iron Cross medal once worn by William I on his collar and slowly stepped out of the car.

Hindenburg, who is already 76 years old, does not look old at all at this moment. On the contrary, he has trimmed his short hair and paired it with a thick beard above his lips, making him look energetic. His pair of green-tinged clothes

With blue eyes, a tall nose, and a square face, Hindenburg appears mature and steady.

Hindenburg's appearance made the supporters in the square excited. Many older people who once idolized Hindenburg even chanted Marshal Hindenburg's slogans and waved their hands with energy that did not match their age.

with banner.

Accompanied by his assistants, Hindenburg walked to the front of the crowd, raised a riding crop in his right hand and shouted: "It is true that I am not sure how far I can make Germany rise for you. But I will always do my best.

I will try my best to get you the best conditions I can."

Hindenburg's words triggered cheers from the people, and his supporters generously gave bursts of applause to this respectable old man.

At the same time, another presidential candidate also drove into the Alexanderplatz polling place.

The luxurious Mercedes-Benz that had been privately modified immediately attracted the attention of many people. From the moment they saw the car, everyone guessed the passenger in the car - Childe Meyer.

Meyer's arrival caused another burst of cheers. This time, many Jewish consortium employees formed a welcoming team in advance. Therefore, their cheers seemed more orderly and shocking.

Many people believe that once the economic genius of the Childe family becomes the president of Germany, Germany's economic situation is likely to improve.

Unlike Hindenburg and Meyer, Gustav, who had a political background, did not go to Alexanderplatz to appear.

At this moment, Gustave was recording a broadcast to be broadcast across the country.

In this broadcast, Gustav pragmatically proposed his future reform goals.

The direction of reform proposed by Gustav is very clear. He will gradually eliminate the privileges of some politicians and plutocrats in the future, while promoting the economy, committed to solving the increasingly serious unemployment rate, and firmly advocates fighting corruption and reforming the political system.

, making government management more transparent and the congressional proposal review process more concise and effective.

There are many reforms here that his predecessor, President Abbott, wanted to do but was unable to do so.

Now, Gustav has inherited Albert's ambition. Under the operation of the Gestapo, he recorded this radio announcement that will be sent to the whole country.

This time, many people will not be able to sleep peacefully. After all, Gustav is the first and only one to come up with a specific plan to weaken the major plutocrats.

Moreover, while Gustav suppressed the financial groups, he also did not forget to consider the people and proposed many targeted reform measures.

On the surface, any discerning person would think that Gustav would receive the overwhelming majority of the people's votes after listening to this broadcast.

Unfortunately, some shady methods will greatly reduce Gustav's winning rate.

Historically, the president of the Weimar Republic, which symbolized democracy, was never elected purely by public opinion.

In the past, Albert could be confirmed as president after receiving the support of the Juncker consortium.

Hindenburg in history was also a president recognized by the Juncker consortium.

All this is no coincidence!
