Chapter 94 The Decisive Game

Four months ago, 169 leaders and below were arrested and detained, in exchange for the evacuation of US and British ships from Kiel; two months ago, they lost their seats in the Congress and were imprisoned for investigation, successfully helped 30,000 volunteers to go to Nordic Europe. They fought alone again and again, fell to the ground in tragic times. Even if the world resisted blockade, we will continue to fight and have a clear conscience! Germans, please follow the call of ideals and faith and vote for your sacred votes!

Overnight, bulletin boards, banners and hand-published flyers. In German towns and villages, people can see the same passage almost as long as they walk out of their homes. It has no good promises, no gorgeous rhetoric, or even the signature of propagandists, but no one will know which party it refers to and what concept it adheres to. Just like the typical hype in the commercial era, this party was controversial and notorious, but after the incident in the Hiddensee, people's views changed greatly due to extreme disappointment with the official. The facts made them feel that they saw clearly what weakness and courage were.

At this time, there are seven days left before the second universal suffrage in Germany after the war.

The impact of the farce on the Hiddenese Island has not yet ended, and something even more subversive happened: On the Eastern European front, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 115th Infantry Regiment, under the German Defense Force, passed through the defense line and the unmanned area to reach the Soviet position at night. The Soviet Union then officially released the news publicly, claiming that the two sides had reached an agreement that the Soviet Union would unconditionally help these Germans to their ideal place - the Free Empire of Northern Scandinavia!

The political influence this incident has in Germany and even the world is no less than that of an atomic bomb!

Since the establishment of the German political fu after the war, tens of thousands of German volunteers who served the Soviet army have tried every means to surrender to the Allied forces. This is the first time that the German defense army officers and soldiers turned to the Soviet camp. From a military perspective, more than 80% of the officers and soldiers of an infantry regiment fleeing collectively requires not only courage and determination. There are also a large number of German troops near the defense area of ​​the regiment. They cannot be completely unaware of such a large-scale operation, but no one stops it or reports it to the superior command center and the Allied forces as soon as possible.

The European Command actually learned the news through the enemy's telegram. The bad situation is no longer as simple as giving the leaders a headache. Two hours later, the Allied Command issued an emergency order requiring the German troops deployed on the front line to retreat in an orderly manner under the supervision of other alliance teams. Within a day, as long as the German Corps within 50 kilometers of the confrontation border, their command and barracks were all placed under the cold gaze of soldiers from the United States, Britain, France, and Poland. The situation of the German personnel was only to be disarmed on the spot by the other party.

The situation of the German army on the front line quickly broke through the hidden information channel and the information blockade was transmitted back to Germany. The people were in an uproar. People felt that they were stripped naked in broad daylight, and they were immediately subjected to great psychological humiliation and stimulation. They lost patience with the president and military generals who continued to do nothing. They hoped to take to the streets to march and demonstrate in order to show their positions and vent their emotions. However, people soon discovered that since the Baath Party was imprisoned, no party could replace them to organize national public demonstrations, and no party could stand up and shout loudly under a heavy pressure. The water was about to boil, but the whole Germany was in a strange silence.

At this time, there are four days left before the second universal suffrage in Germany after the war.

Since the special decree issued by the president is still in effect, the German Baath Party, which was imprisoned, theoretically does not have the right to run for election, but the decision is in the hands of President Hoff Hursten. As long as he announces the lifting of the ban even one day in advance, the German Baath Party is one of the legal candidate parties. As for the ballots that have been printed and distributed to voters, in addition to the check boxes of the established political parties, people can also manually fill in the "Other" columns in the "Other" column that fails to obtain candidate qualifications before the ballot printing but has the power to be elected on Election Day.

On that night, Lynn and Stupfer were both called to the presidential study. The three of them knew that the conversation at this time might be of decisive significance to the future of Germany.

"The head of the Special Investigation Committee just reported to me about the progress of the investigation. In general, you are quite cooperative with this investigation, and I am very satisfied with this."

Hoff Helsten, known as the "people's politician", has been serving as the president of Germany for less than 100 days, but his reputation and image have plummeted in several major events. His personal spirit seems to be much worse. If it weren't for his glamorous clothes, it would probably be easy to be confused with the widowed old man in the nursing home.

Lynn and Stupfer sat quietly on the sofa opposite the president. This calmness was completely different from their voluntary compromise more than three weeks ago. Now the situation in Germany is in a mess, and the army is unable to take care of itself. How can they control order? The initiative of dialogue between the two sides has actually changed positions.

The leader and deputy leader of the Baath Party all wanted coffee, but Hoff Helsten drank hot milk. After a minute or two, the president drooped his eyelids and said, "In recent times, the German Baath Party has been a striking role in Germany, and the public's approval rating should be much higher than the election at the end of last year!"

The situation determines confidence, confidence determines the tone, and Hoff Helsten's attitude was indeed not unexpected. Stupfer responded calmly: "We are indeed at the focus of public opinion when we come in, and there are praises, but it is more criticism and criticism, saying that we are the remnants of the Nazis and are the evil forces that return Germany to the dark dictatorship. You see, I am a politician from a teacher, like an arbitrary figure?"

The president looked up at the guy who was quite sleek in his words and actions, and made no comments.

On one side is the president of the country and on the other side are opposition politicians, with great differences in status. Lynn is the youngest of the three. He should be cautious in his words, but age is also a reasonable excuse for some minor mistakes. At this time, he continued the previous sentence of Hoff Hulls: "Dear Mr. President, have you forgotten that our German Baath Party is restricted by the ban you issued and is not qualified to run for election now?"

After finding the right step, President Hoff Hulls slapped his head suddenly: "Oh, I'm so sorry, look at my memory! To be honest, the recent situation has really made me suffer. The allies have been constantly putting pressure on us through diplomatic and political channels, and the people cannot understand our efforts. They think we are a group of weak and incompetent idiots, alas..."

"You are the most popular people's politician in Germany's history. Even if you are confused for a while, you will sooner or later understand and understand you!"

Lynn's compliments sound more like irony, but usually, politicians' faces are not as thick as they are. Hoff Hulls shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I invite you two to come today in the hope of using your party's influence among the people to help Germany overcome the current difficulties. In return, I can lift the ban so that your party can catch up with the upcoming universal suffrage. When the situation calms down, we will discuss your party's achievements and appropriately reduce the punishment for the Nordic volunteer incident. What do you think?"

The qualification for election is what the German Baath Party most desires at present. If they miss this universal suffrage, their political path will become very difficult, and on the contrary, they may win the victory of one battle. Despite this, Stupfer still slowly replied: "His Excellency the President is too high. The Baath Party only has a certain influence in North Germany. The current situation in North Germany is relatively stable. We are really powerless in the problems of states such as Bavaria. Besides, what role can a political party like us play in military disputes?"

The president looked at Stupfer attentively. It was obvious that this experienced and capable leader of the Baath Party was not a fool who could fool around casually. In their respective interests, both parties were intentional in their cooperation, and the twisted attitude was just to raise their value. However, considering that the two sides may cooperate and talk at a higher level in the future, the meticulous politician should carefully consider the possibility of raising a tiger.

I noticed such concerns from Hoff Hulls's eyes. Lynn was not in a hurry to interrupt, but stared at Hoff Hulls with an equally focused look. After a while, the German president realized the gaze from the other side. When he turned to look at Lynn, Lyn decisively gave him a very friendly smile.

Hoff Hulls hesitated for a moment and said in a tougher tone: "I know you are already carrying out electoral propaganda, and your slogan is very inspiring. We could have positioned this propaganda as a dangerous flash and banned it. In addition, the previous Nordic volunteer incidents, disbanding and completely banning the German Baath Party is also in line with current regulations. This situation is avoided because we feel that most of your actions are still carried out on the standpoint of defending German rights and interests, and it is a slightly extreme patriotic behavior. As long as you can introduce the right path, you are still a party with great development prospects."

Since the German President has given his grace and his power, Stupfer tactfully gave in and said, "Okay, since the president has high hopes for us and the country also needs us to make due contributions, then our German Baath Party will do our best to do the work you entrust."

"In fact, we can combine election propaganda with stabilizing people's hearts and divert their anger in a peaceful way." Lynn interjected.

Hoff Hulls nodded with satisfaction: "By the way, that's right! A truly vital party should do everything from the perspective of maintaining national stability and people's unity. In this way, I can ask them to return the funds temporarily deducted from the Special Investigation Committee to you first, and all investigative specialists will also suspend their work. This is the biggest concession I can make."

Stupfer still showed no joy. He responded with a serious expression: "His Excellency the President, I sincerely hope that we can resolve this crisis with mutual trust and support."
