.The Third Reich under the Ten Thousand Characters  Volume 5: Battle of Britain   Chapter 37: “Who agrees? Who opposes!”

The meeting was over, and the military deployment had been arranged, but there was a saying that was very correct, "War is just a continuation of politics." War was ultimately just a means. Like diplomacy, it was to achieve a certain political purpose. Clausewetz said this to emphasize that war should be dominated by politics, rather than dominating politics in turn. In reality, it is often politicians rather than soldiers who determine the scale, intensity and length of the war.

While Xu Yang was a soldier, he naturally became a member of the politician after becoming the head of the Third Reich. After the meeting, he came to the Congress without stopping.

During the war, no matter which country the members of the MPs are, the role they play is extremely disgraceful during the war. They have the right to question all decisions of military generals, or even interfere with the progress of the war. In some unscrupulous times, the Supreme Command even decides the time for the battle to start according to the resolutions of the Congress. This creates a very bad phenomenon, that is, the generals of the military cannot control the progress of the war according to the plans they expect. At a certain time, the supply of an important battle will delay the date of transport to the front line under the interference of the MPs. This is also true. The army hates the members of Congress very much. The reason why Xu Yang came to the Congress in person was very obvious. Under the lessons of France, Xu Yang must shut up those members who could only whine!

During Hitler's reign, Congress was a tool under Hitler. Hitler let the members know that only Hitler had the power to decide the future of Germany. Any member of parliament who dared to interfere with the implementation of Hitler's decree would prepare a bed for this person. Under the suppression of Hitler's high-pressure means, no member of parliament dared to resist. They once became mobile phones, but the phenomenon of parliamentary interference in the decree recovered during Hal's reign. Faced with the more kind Hal, members of parliament had the courage to stand up and point fingers at the strategic deployment of the army, and even refused to transport supplies. Because of Hal's kindness, this phenomenon is developing in a trend of increasing intensity...

Now, Xu Yang stood on the rostrum of the Congress, looking down at the thousands of members of Congress who were greeting with joy below. They did not dare to breathe, and their eyes were full of fear, because former Congress President Lyon Foster and many famous members were imprisoned for involvement in corruption. Lyon Foster was verified that the corruption was factually executed a day ago and had been executed by shooting. After Xu Yang came to power, no one had appointed to take over. At present, Congress is a leader. Out of fear of Xu Yang's iron-blooded means. They have decided in their hearts that no matter what the head of state said, their best choice is to continue to serve as a mobile phone.

Xu Yang has long been used to being watched. Someone once asked a question, what was his feeling when he was watched. For different people's questions, Xu Yang's answers and tone were different every time. If someone asked him now, he would answer: I am very sad. Xu Yang did not prepare a manuscript before coming to Parliament. He was not here to give a speech. He came here just to announce a news to the members of the parliament. Of course, it was definitely not the candidate for the president of the parliament.

"Dear dear deputies, how are you?" Xu Yang smiled self-deprecatingly. He thought the greeting was so bad. He ignored the responses of the parliamentarians. He asked directly, "Are you tired?"

The congressmen looked at each other and looked at Xu Yang blankly, waiting for the following text.

Xu Yang smiled and emphasized: "I think you are tired."

Most of the members of parliament were puzzled. Some members of parliament were stunned for a moment and then reacted. They wanted to stand up and express their opinions...

Xu Yang ignored the standing MPs, let alone gave them a chance to speak, and emphasized again: "You should do something meaningful!"

The standing MPs moved their lips a few times, and they saw hesitation in each other's eyes, and then they sat down slowly.

"What is a meaningful thing?" Xu Yang was not asking himself, "Germany is currently in a state of war, and the state of war will last for a long time, maybe three years, maybe five years, now I can't tell you when the war will end. I came here to tell you that Germany does not need meaningless arguments at the moment, we need actual actions!"

A bold middle-aged MP stood up very suddenly and asked: "My head, what do you mean by action?" The middle-aged MP found out that he was the agent of Mauser's company in parliament, and smiled interestingly, saying: "For example, Mauser's company accelerates production and produces one more bullet for the soldiers on the front line, so that the soldiers of the empire can destroy one more enemy."

The middle-aged MP held a hat in his left hand and sat down silently on his chest with his right hand, 45 degrees with his right hand, greeted him respectfully and sat down silently.

If war is a continuation of politics, then reasonable compromise is definitely part of the continuation of politics. Xu Yang has always been willing to make reasonable compromises. He only uses iron-blooded means when he cannot make reasonable compromises. He understands that blindly using blood to clear obstacles will only cause a regime to collapse quickly. Reasonable compromise is necessary. So since there are the two words reasonable, it means that the object of compromise can be freely chosen rather than compulsory. If you want to summarize, you can use carrots and sticks to describe it.

Under the current historical conditions of Germany, any person who wants to obtain something must consult with representatives from all parties, conduct secret talks with them and make some concessions. Take Xu Yang as an example, he received full support from various German military factories. In return, he gave various military factories some preferential policies administratively.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Xu Yang understood that if he used powerful means to dissolve the Congress at this time, he would face doubts from all German citizens. In serious cases, the army would also have a sense of distrust of him. For this reason, the influence of the Congress was gradually weakened. What Xu Yang had to do now is very simple. Today, he came to Congress to put pressure on these members of the parliament and distributed interests.

Compared with the overproliferating democracy of the US Congress, Germany's democracy seems very pale. The Third Reich Congress is also a little different from the US Congress. The US Congress can interfere with the orders issued by the president. For example, if the US president needs to declare war on a certain country and needs to vote for Congress, and more than two-thirds of the members of parliament vote for it, then the resolution will be considered passed. The US president is limited to the constraints of the constitution and individuals do not have the power to decide the direction of the country. The Third Reich Germany is not the case. As the head of the Third Reich, Xu Yang has the power to declare war on any country in the world without the permission of Congress, and has the right to directly lead the army to fight. This is a product left over from Hitler's rule, and Xu Yang has become a beneficiary of this product.

Perhaps some people are puzzled, then is there a need for the existence of the Third Reich of Germany? The answer is yes. In this period, the existence of the Congress will have a need for the existence of the Congress, and it has its own specific function. Distributing interests is one of its irreplaceable functions, and what Xu Yang needs is to limit the role of the Congress to the function of distributing interests.

If someone asks why France, which is known as the world's largest army power, collapsed so quickly under the attack of the National Defense Force? Xu Yang would answer: The National Defense Forces have strong combat effectiveness. But this is just that we are not stingy in praising our army in any gorgeous language, but this is not the whole reason. The main reason why France collapsed quickly is due to the serious bureaucracy, the social order is chaotic, and the administrative efficiency is low. Of course, there will be no lack of the advantages of the arrogance and pride of the top leaders of the French ** team. The above advantages come from the same side, that is, the French parliament!

The French parliament is a good match for the top leaders of the Third Reich of Germany. There will never be a lack of people who chat and brag. French people are born with romantic nature. Their members will spend a week discussing whether to wear white or black tie when they date, and then spend a month debating which street in Paris, which store to buy it. If time allows, they can even extend the meeting time to discuss which brand of perfume should be used to compare the ** that can attract women...

Just before Xu Yang came to parliament, his intelligence adjutant Joseph rushed back to Berlin on a special plane and immediately handed over a private handwritten letter from the current French Prime Minister Betton. In the letter, Betton used a great length to express his helplessness. As an old man from a foreign land who was about to die, asking, "How do you want to accept France's surrender?". It is definitely not an accident that Betton would ask questions in his private capacity. In his early years, Betton had several encounters with Har, and also met Xu Yang's call that the League of Nations was a short-lived international joint institution after World War I. It was a tool for British and French to manipulate the Versailles system. The headquarters was set up in Geneva. The Gustav family donated the Garden of Ariana to the League of Nations, thus building the Palace of Nations as the office of the League of Nations.

The heads of state communicated with private letters was not the first to Betton. As early as World War I, various belligerent countries used private letters to privately explore the heads of enemy countries. At that time, due to the marriage policy of the Commonwealth, the heads of various countries had complex blood ties. For example, Queen Victoria of the Commonwealth at that time was the grandmother of Emperor William II of Germany.

In fact, Xu Yang is not unwilling to accept France's surrender, but the time for accepting surrender is wrong. If France's surrender is accepted now, the world's vision will turn to the English Channel. The risk of the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan will become greater. Under the strict attention of the world, any secret will not be absolutely confidential, which is what Xu Yang is most reluctant to see.

In addition to the previous blockade operation, there are three main steps implemented by the Sea Lion Plan, namely bombing and deceiving login.

Bombing: Use a large number of air forces to paralyze the British airports and annihilate the existing British forces, that is, consume the current British air force; blow up the British arsenal; destroy the British industrial zone; paralyze the British people's livelihood equipment, and use public opinion to cause panic in the British mainland. All actions are deceptive, that is, any means used in tactical operations. In any military operation, the offensive side will usually use arrangements to prevent the defense from determining where the main attack direction is. In this process, Germany will use any means to mislead the British in order to achieve its goals.

After the above two necessary conditions are ripe, the implementation of the last step of the Sea Lion Plan will also be carried out. That is, implementation login.

If Xu Yang wants to implement the Sea Lion Plan, he needs a prerequisite, and this prerequisite is time. What Xu Yang lacks the most now is time. He needs to do a major event recognized by the whole nation after he comes to power in order to consolidate his rule.

In the past few thousand years, no country has conquered Britain except the Roman Empire. On the contrary, in the past history, the British conquered countries on the continent with their marriage policy. The once powerful French Empire was boycotted under the marriage between the Commonwealth royal family and the Tsarist Russian royal family. Because of the military threat from the British people in the rear of the French Empire, Napoleon could not conquer eastern Europe with all his might, and gave the Tsarist Russian Empire sufficient resources, using space for time, and God punished the prosperous French Eastern Expedition Army. The slogan of the Tsarist Russian army at that time was very strange. Their slogan was the God-benefiting Tsar. Indeed, it was the bad weather that defeated Napoleon, and the credit was not the Tsarist Russian army. "Only by conquering the British, the Third German Empire was the emperor I controlled.

France admitted that the defeat was not Xu Yang's credit. Although he made outstanding contributions in strategic deployment, this victory could only belong to Hitler and Hal. Without Hitler's preparation, Hal would not have enough conditions to launch a war against France. This is an undeniable fact. Xu Yang never denies anyone's historical contribution, nor did he think of using other people's achievements to himself. On the contrary, the first thing Xu Yang did after taking office was to publicly affirm Hitler's contribution to the Third Reich of Germany and write Hitler's contribution to the German nation into history. The victory memorial column in Berlin Kings Square was engraved with Hitler's historical contribution, which was also the first person in modern history to be engraved with the victory memorial column.

Xu Yang shook off the distracting thoughts in his head and looked at the thousands of parliamentarians below the stage. His voice was loud: "The security of the country cannot be entrusted to the gifts of others. History always advances on the saber. This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. To survive and to dignity, you need strong armaments! What were you doing in the past? Some of you are making money while the country is in danger! Those greedy people will always be marked as treason and hung on the pillar of shame in German history. They will not be able to redeem their sins if they die a hundred times!"

The moves most of the MPs at this moment were to tighten their bodies, as if they were to completely bury their bodies into the seat. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, their necks were springing, twisted, and the distance between their heads and shoulders was smaller, and the backs were cold...

Xu Yang looked at the ugly behavior shown by the MPs in disgust, "I am working hard to forget the harm you have done to the German people! What about you? The people are asking you, what are you doing as members of Congress when they are hungry and cold! Yes, you are hoarding food, you are taking advantage of the current situation to annex the fruits of the people's labor, and some of you have even received the benefits of foreign spies and refused to send supplies to the front-line army!"

An elderly MP said timidly: "My head, most of us have not done anything that harms the country..."

Xu Yang's performance was surprising. He nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, of course! Because you didn't do it, or were not caught, the evidence shows that you did it, you are still sitting here, instead of being sent to the guillotine."

The old congressman's nervous mood was relieved, and his tone was not so trembling, "Thank you for your understanding, my head of state."

Xu Yang signaled the old MP to sit down, and then continued, "The reason why I appeared here is not to show my magnanimity to you, but to tell you that half a month ago, the parliament signed a decree and refused to transport some military supplies to the western front of France. An infantry regiment of the 255th Infantry Division under the 4th Army of the National Defense Forces was severely damaged due to lack of supplies. The soldiers fought with the French army in hand and died until they died!" The tension of going was ignited by Xu Yang's words. The MPs couldn't help but think in their hearts with fear: He still started to settle the accounts!

Xu Yang had a dark face and a cold tone: "Have you heard it? The soldiers who fell into battle said. They were asking, why do you do such a thing? They said that they were willing to give their lives for Germany and fight bloody on the front line, but they died so wronged that they were killed by their own people.

What are the most feared by national soldiers? They are definitely not death. What they fear most is to be killed by their own people inexplicably. Such a way of death is the most unfair and most stressful thing for soldiers.

After hearing Xu Yang's words, the timid congressman had hallucinations in his head. It seemed that someone was asking endlessly in his ears, "Why do you do this?" They started fighting their teeth, their bodies were chilling, and they couldn't stop trembling.

Xu Yang issued the most appropriate roar at the most appropriate time: "I announce the terminating Congress's power to participate in the formulation of national military strategies! From today on, the constitution formulated by Congress will be abolished, and Congress has no legislative power during the war!"

The members of parliament were stunned and seemed to have not reacted. Almost every member of parliament was asking, if the constitution was abolished and the legislative power was not legislative, what else could Congress do?

They want to fight, but they don't have the courage.

They wanted to win some benefits for Congress, but no one dared to be the first to be a leader.

Xu Yang saw the hesitation on the faces of the parliamentarians, and also saw the expressions of some parliamentarians flashing murderous intent in their eyes. In response, Xu Yang replied with contempt and asked slowly: "Who agrees? Who opposes!"

His will cannot resist...
