Over the years, Germany has been in turmoil almost all the time!

Besides, since the birth of the Weimar Republic in 1919, it has also experienced serious tests again and again.

When the Republic was just born, it was full of dangers: the left accused the Social Democratic Party of selling workers' interests because it prevented the Communist revolution; The Rightists opposed democracy and insisted on returning Germany to its former imperial system.

In the eyes of the left, the Weimar government suppressed the workers' uprising and killed Carl? Libkenesi and Rosa? Luxembourg and other well-known left-wing leaders, the Weimar government is a traitor to the revolution.

In the eyes of the right, the Weimar government forced the German emperor to abdicate during the November Revolution and signed a peace treaty with the allies, which is even more a traitor to the nation!

Subversive activities were going on all the time. In 1920, the Freedom Corps launched a Karp coup, occupied Berlin and elected right-wing journalist Wolfgang? Karp is prime minister. The Weimar government retreated to Stuttgart.

In 1921, there were Communist uprisings in Saxony and Hamburg, which were successfully suppressed.

At the beginning of this year, because the Republican government could not pay the war compensation stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles, the French and Belgian troops occupied Ruhr district, which is the richest industrial town in Germany, and controlled the local mining and manufacturing companies.

Due to a series of needs, the German conquest had to print a large number of banknotes, resulting in hyperinflation at home.

How serious is inflation? Just in August this year, the mark fell from 4.2 yuan to one million yuan against the US dollar! This month, it has fallen to 4.2 trillion yuan!

Germany's domestic economic and political problems are intertwined, and the prestige of the Weimar government has long been reduced to the lowest!

Hitler's Beer House coup can be successful, which can never be analyzed alone, but should be put into the overall national and even international background!

Now, with the leader of the party, government and army who controlled Bavaria, Hitler's Beer House coup has evolved into a big threat enough to destroy the Weimar Republic!

The uprising in Munich just hit the weakness of the Weimar government! Now, with the rapid devaluation of the currency and the public anger caused by the French occupation of Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany, it is about to break out completely!

When the news reached Berlin, Friedrich? Albert, the right-wing leader of the German Social Democratic Party and the first president of the Weimar Republic, immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Albert is now in his fifties. Since he became president, he has not had a safe day. Germany has always been in turmoil. Now, the problem of Ruhr Industrial Zone has not been solved, and there has been a rebellion in Munich!

"Hitler's plot must not be allowed to succeed. The whole workers' party is crazy. If they are allowed to come to power, the whole German nation will be brought to the cliff!" Albert said anxiously.

"Yes, we must safeguard our democracy and legal system in Germany. I suggest sending troops immediately to suppress it!"

Gustav? Strezeman, the German Chancellor who just took office this year, also fully agrees with Albert's judgment at this time.

These rebels are not for the interests of the Republic at all. They are constantly making promises to the people that are impossible to realize. They are just trying to seize the power of Germany!

"We can send troops, but what will we make up our mind?" Defense Secretary Otto? Carl? Gessler asked them.

Make up your mind? The news now comes that the situation is not optimistic.

This group of rebels launched rudendorff as the spiritual leader. At the same time, they also controlled loxov, the garrison commander of Bavaria, and Carl, the governor of Bavaria. Another leader, saiser, has died in the riot!

These Bavarian officials were taken hostage, and a large number of people were bewitched! It is conceivable that tens of thousands of people will come to Berlin!

If you send troops to counter the rebellion, you have to confront these people. If they push out losov and other hostages, do you want to take into account the safety of these hostages?

If there is a conflict, should the guns of the army be aimed at the bewitched people? Once it leads to serious bloodshed, will the Weimar government lose its prestige in the whole country?

Gessler can send troops, but he has foreseen the possible consequences. He must make it clear.

"All who come to Berlin are rebels. We must unswervingly suppress them! We must not let the Italian Roman March take place in Germany! " Albert said firmly.

Italy, Rome! All this was done by Italian Fascist leader Mussolini. He was dissatisfied with the fact that the fascist party won only 105 seats in 535 seats in the Italian parliamentary election in 1921 and called on 30000 supporters to enter Rome.

The riot successfully made the then Italian King Emmanuel III appoint Mussolini as prime minister. From then on, the fascists in Italy came to power!

Why did Hitler carry out the coup in the beer hall? In fact, he wants to take the road of Italy. Mussolini's success is encouraging him!

Unfortunately, he still doesn't know that history can't be copied.

Just as the October revolution can bury the Russian Czar, but can not ignite the land of China, Mussolini's success can not be repeated in Hitler!

Because the Weimar government is not a weak Italian King!

As long as those who come to Berlin to make trouble are rebels, they are trampling on the legal system of the Republic. We must not be soft on such people! Albert was determined.

This has something to do with Albert's style. After all, if you want to save Germany, you must use strong means!

In 1918, Albert ordered the defense forces to suppress the riots in Berlin. At that time, there was almost a river of blood!

The Weimar government will not bow before the rebels!

"I think it's better to let the Freedom Corps go out. At that time, we can also end." Strezeman said.

Freedom Corps! As a defeated country, Germany withdrew from World War I and was greatly limited according to the Treaty of Versailles. Their army number was 100000 and their navy number was 15000.

In this way, a large number of soldiers need to retire. Many of these retired soldiers form a semi military organization, the Freedom Corps!

It's not official anyway. It's not within the limits of the Treaty of Versailles. In Germany, there are many such organizations. For example, Hitler's stormtroopers are also such civilian military organizations.

The Freedom Corps is also very capable of fighting. For example, in 1919, they suppressed the workers' uprising in Berlin, Rosa? Luxembourg and Carl? Libknessy, they did it all!

Afterwards, Albert was specially approved and handed over to the military court for punishment. As a result, the handling was over.

This kind of dirty work, let the Freedom Corps go out better!
