Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 79: Blackest Congress

Views:

The faces of the five members of the Frankfurt Preparatory Committee were very ugly. The Austrian delegation made a strong protest on the grounds that the Austrian Empire was a whole.

Delegates to the Frankfurt Conference are allocated seats according to population. In theory, a representative is elected from 50,000 people. If non-German regions are not kicked out, this conference will be a special event for Austria.

During this period, the two states of Schleswig and Holstein still belonged to Denmark, and Austria also controlled part of Italy. In terms of population, Austria exceeded the sum of the small German regions.

It’s okay to protest, anyway, a series of regions such as Hungary do not belong to the German region, and they are not afraid of wrangling.

But I didn't expect that the Austrian representative would stab the matter to the reporter in a very single-minded manner, and openly uncovered the dark side of the meeting.

Because of the customs union, Prussia, the most industrially developed German state, has the greatest influence on the capitalists, and this meeting did have a clear tendency.

By now, it is clear to everyone that the Austrian delegation is here to make a fuss and not allow the Austrians to participate in the meeting

Could this be considered a German Reserve Congress? It is estimated that the Austrians will be very happy to leave. The Congress, which does not have much legitimacy, will become a laughing stock after missing a corner.

"Everyone, we must take action. The recent public opinion is very unfavorable to us. If we continue, the enemy's conspiracy will succeed!" Merlin said solemnly

The media's exposure of their black history did not arouse their vigilance. The world's capitalists are all the same raccoon dog. Who doesn't have a black history

Now what they are most worried about is the Austrian delegation doing things. As the largest state in the German region, Austria often acts as the leading big brother.

Whether they like it or not, Austria's influence in the German state is huge, and it is impossible for a Congress without Austria's participation to be recognized by the people.

"Let's just change the name, let's call it the Little Reichstag, and let the Austrians get out of here!" a Prussian representative suggested.

"Impossible! Weinstahl, you are splitting the great German Empire. If it is only the Little German Reichstag, then we will also withdraw!" The representative of Bavaria objected.

The main purpose of this Congress is to expand the political influence of the bourgeoisie. The unification of the German region is actually second, and the Frankfurt Conference is not as important as described in the history books.

Otherwise, in the end, even the Kingdom of Prussia will not recognize this meeting. It is really too idealistic, and the rights and interests of the capitalists are infinitely expanded, which is not feasible at all.

The interests of capitalists are not the same, and capitalists in different regions and industries often have different interests.

The establishment of a small German empire is in the interest of the capitalists of the North German region, and they can avoid the competition from the Austrian capitalists.

But it was different for many capitalists in South Germany, especially the Kingdom of Bavaria. The local economy was very closely linked with Austria. Once separated, it would be a disaster for them.

Because of the protest of the Austrian delegation, the conference has not yet started, and naturally there is no way to solve the problem by voting. If the support of the representatives of the South Germany region is lost again, then this conference will not be held.

The bourgeoisie is naturally compromising. After a week of arguing, everyone reached a compromise, allowing representatives from Bohemia and Hungary to participate in the meeting, but limited their quotas.

A cap on the number of representatives of a state was directly set, and no representative of any state could exceed 200. Only the representatives of Austria and Prussia participated in the meeting.

Undoubtedly, the next thing is to argue, the status of Austria and Prussia, as Germany's largest state, must have equal status.

The Austrian delegation headed by Anderson was originally here to do things, so how could they give up

All in all, Austria must have the most representation. Anyway, Austria has the largest population now, and there are no professional statistics in this era. Who knows how many Germans there are in Austria

The Prussians, who wanted to gain the same status as Austria, naturally refused to agree. You must know that this meeting was planned by Prussian internal interest groups, and the purpose was to exclude Austria.

The Puo-Austrian delegation started a tug-of-war, which soon spread and became a regional conflict between North and South Germany, and all the representatives were involved.

The dispute lasted until June, and the Austrian delegation was gradually at a disadvantage. But it doesn't matter, at this time, the Frankfurt meeting with frequent scandals has become a joke.

The Vienna Daily described the meeting as a "capitalist's feast", accompanied by a picture of a group of fat-headed and big-eared capitalists slaughtering a cow with knives and forks.

The Neue Rheinische Zeitung also published an article by Engels, strongly criticizing the Frankfurt Conference, which was ridiculed as "a meeting of the interests of a group of capitalists".

The Munich Post even made a series of reports on the Frankfurt meeting, detailing the information of all the parliamentarians who participated in the meeting. Undoubtedly, the focus is on black history.

In the end, this meeting was described as "the dirtiest Congress in history". There is no way to clean it up, and all the delegates participating in the meeting are black.

Including the scholars, civil servants, and members of the public who participated in the conference are no exception. Election fraud is the biggest black history.

For example: a representative was elected with 30,000 votes, but less than 100 people participated in the vote; another example is a regional election, where there is only one candidate, and the default unanimous vote is elected...

To sum up, it is election fraud. The election took less than a week from the beginning to the end, and many places may not even have time to pass on the information, even if they are not sick.

Experts and scholars have formed groups to attack the election from a technical perspective. For example, the newspaper published today where the election will be held, and the election will start the next day, and the time is simply too late.

Numerous questionnaires have shown that 90% of Germans are unaware of this election, and 99% have never participated in this election.

At this stage, Franz no longer needs to continue to take action. The representatives participating in the meeting were hacked from head to toe. Many people could not stand the pressure of public opinion and took the initiative to withdraw from the meeting.

The conference lasted until July. Due to changes in the political situation and internal and external troubles, this conference spontaneously organized by the bourgeoisie fell apart.
