Chapter 1046 From Community to the United States 2

Hersmann spoke for a long time, and told Hitler and Goering all the plans he and Schleicher (now the leader of the Fatherland Party) had discussed in Berlin.

His method was not complicated to say, that is, to turn the European Community into the United States of Europe while retaining the names of the countries in the European Community. And it is also necessary to refer to the political arrangements of the United States of America and expand the rights of Germany.

This is not difficult to do, as long as the "country" in Europe corresponds to the "state" in the United States. Because in the process of German expansion, many countries that were actually annexed by Germany still retain their country names.

For example, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Little Russia, the Kingdom of Belarus (the monarchs of Little Russia and White Russia are the heirs to the thrones of Germany and Russia), the Grand Duchy of Slovakia, the Grand Duchy of Slovenia, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and other seven countries, plus the German Empire itself, there are eight countries. In addition to the three countries of Croatia, Hungary (Croatia-Hungary is a united kingdom, nominally two countries), Finland and other three countries that are absolutely pro-German, eleven countries are actually under the firm control of Germany.

In addition, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Sweden are all Germanic and very pro-German countries. The Dutch, Flemish people in Belgium, Norwegians, Danes and Swedes are all Germanic people, and in the eyes of the Nazi Party, they are all their own people. In fact, many Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Danish and Swedes do not regard Germans as outsiders.

In this way, among the 24-25 countries that the United States of Europe may have in the future, at least 16-17 countries are either controlled by Germany or are German-a part of the system. In addition to the 17 countries mentioned above, the United States of Europe will also include France, England, Scotland (the United Kingdom will also have multiple countries), Spain, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and other countries, and Switzerland may also join. Among these countries, England and Scotland are also Germanic branches, but they are far away from Germany, so they are not classified as German-a part of the system.

In addition, South Africa, which now belongs to the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which belong to the United Kingdom, Quebec, which is controlled by the French, and Israel, which is controlled by German and Polish Jews, may become a member of the United States of Europe in the future.

The United States of Europe in the future will have a maximum of 30 countries, of which 17 are controlled by Germany or belong to the German system.

If we follow American-style democracy, the electors and members of parliament in these 17 countries will be enough to influence the political direction of the United States. Even if their population size is not enough.

Although many political systems of the United States of Europe envisioned by Hirschman were learned from the United States, they cannot be exactly the same. Because there are still many monarchs in Europe, their thrones must be retained, so the United States of Europe should also have an emperor or queen - the United States does not mean that there is no monarch. In Europe, federalism and rules can coexist, and the empire sometimes has a president. For example, the Polish Republic (actually a federation) composed of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in European history had a king, and the official name of the Weimar Republic was still the German Empire. The Second German Empire was actually a federation. If the German Emperor was transliterated, it should be the German Kaiser, and the title of the monarch of the planned United States of Europe would be the European Kaiser.

So Hersman arranged a European-style electoral system for the future United States of Europe. The German Emperor, the Russian Tsar (Empress), the King (Queen) of England, the President of France, the King of Spain (currently vacant), the King of Croatia-Hungary, the King of the Netherlands (currently not yet joined), the King of Belgium, the King of Denmark, the King of Sweden (also not yet joined), the King of Romania, the King of Bulgaria, the King of Greece, the President of Ireland, the King of Norway, the President of Finland, the King of Little Russia (the nominal monarch of Belarus and Ukraine), and other 17 electors (a monarch or president has only one vote, no matter how many countries he is the monarch of) voted to elect a European Kaiser.

Of course, this Kaiser has no real power, but is just a symbolic mascot.

"But will they (referring to various countries) really support us to do this?" Adolf Hitler was obviously convinced by Hersman.

He is now the Chancellor of Germany. His Nazi Party not only has supporters in Germany, but also has great influence in most Germanic countries. If the United States of Europe appears, the Nazi Party will go beyond Germany and become the largest party in the Germanic-speaking region. Maybe it can even control the Senate and House of Representatives (or the upper and lower houses) of the United States of Europe.

And Hitler himself is definitely the most influential politician in the United States of Europe. If the Prime Minister of the United States of Europe is to be elected, he will definitely be elected. So as long as the political power of the Germans in the United States of Europe is guaranteed, Hitler will definitely support the United States.

But will politicians from other countries support it?

"It should be." Hessman took a sip of coffee and continued, "Because we will soon have 500 billion... and Russia is in urgent need of money, so Queen Olga must support us. The British Empire has lost its navy and has no money. It must rely on the navy of the United States of Europe and the reparations of the United States to survive. As for France, well, France is a bit at a disadvantage, but as long as Britain and Russia support us, France will always find a way to convince them.

Moreover, France and our country, Germany, are the economic centers of Europe, just like the Northeastern region of the United States. If the United States of Europe really emerged, what would France's economic prosperity be like? In fact, France and Germany are the real beneficiaries of European unity! "

Adolf Hitler understood what Hessmann meant. The 500 billion Euromark compensation had not yet been received, but it had already become a big name in the hands of the Reich Marshal. Whoever wants to spend this money must support it.

"You go to convince the Empress of Russia," Hitler said thoughtfully, "Britain... will definitely support us, but we can't count on them to put in much effort, because Britain actually does not have a strong leadership group, and the authority of the little queen cannot be compared with Compared with Olga, and the British have not forgotten their world empire. As for France... I will have a good talk with Admiral Darlan. If it succeeds, the United States of Europe will hopefully be realized by our generation. "

He thought for a while and then said: "But turning the European Community into the United States is not something that a few of our leaders can decide in a meeting... This is not the case before the 19th century. The country is not the property of a few people, but belongs to All people. If we want to build a truly unified United States, the referendum process is still essential. What we can negotiate in Europa is just a big framework agreement."

The unification routes in Europe have been dynastic wars, dynastic marriages, dynastic successions and referendums since ancient times.

Before Europe entered civil society, it was the will of the feudal lords that played a large role in unification or separation. However, after Europe entered civil society, referendums became an essential procedure. Even if Germany's proposal is supported by most European Community leaders, there is no guarantee that it will pass in a referendum. Therefore, this European Community leaders' meeting can only set a general direction. Perhaps after defeating the United States, a United States of Europe will be born. This United States may not necessarily include all European Community countries, but it will undoubtedly unify Europe. One step further, and it is a very crucial step.

…

The Empress of Russia also has a palace (actually a villa) in Fort Europa, which was given as a gift by one of her admirers - the private life of this empress is more colorful than that of the little queen of England!

But in public, Reichsmarschall Herschmann was always her closest male friend.

So on the night of June 15****, when they arrived at Castle Europa by train with a group of ministers, female officials and servants, it was natural that the Hersmanns became honored guests of the Queen's Anastasia Castle (the official name of the Queen's villa) .

As usual, the banquet held by the Queen for the Hirschmanns was full of delicacies, including fish, soup, game, chicken and barbecue, all of which were oily Russian dishes.

But not many people are lucky enough to enjoy these delicacies in the magnificent grand banquet hall. Tonight, the Russian Empress declined all invitations, and did not invite any foreign leaders who arrived at Fort Europa before her. She only invited Hersmann and Chloe, and they were also accompanied by Prince Yusupov and his wife. .

"Do you really intend to unite Europe in one generation?"

After tasting some greasy dishes, neither the Queen nor Hersman had much appetite, so they began to discuss business - Hersman liked light meals, while the Russian Empress had a lot of worries in her heart, was in no mood, and had a plump figure. Chloe could only watch her favorite greasy food and try her best to restrain herself because she was afraid of getting fat.

"It can't be said that," Hirschmann took a sip of 1882 Lafite. "It's not a true unification, but something similar to the United States of America before the Civil War. The countries under the United States will still retain considerable "Our sovereignty will be more independent than the states in the early days of the United States. In fact, we have just started the process of unification. It is impossible to predict when it will be completed."

"But the process of unification is irreversible," Queen Olga looked at Hessman, "just like the United States in history!"

She saw clearly that by following Hirschmann's path, the process of unification of the United States of Europe would be impossible to reverse.

Because under the United States, countries not only have a common market and currency, but also have a common constitution, government, parliament, supreme court, air force, navy and nuclear weapons.

Moreover, Hessmann and Hitler would refer to the procedure for amending the Constitution of the United States of America to formulate the procedure for amending the Constitution of the United States of Europe - the two houses of Congress each pass the amendment by a two-thirds majority, and then three-quarters of the subordinate national parliaments or national Passed by the Constitutional Convention.

Effectively making any constitutional amendment involving the dissolution of the United States impossible!

Through the above measures, the countries under the United States of Europe are tightly bound together, and they can no longer be separated.

"So where are our Russian interests?" After Olga understood what the situation was in the United States of Europe, she changed the subject and asked the question she was most concerned about now.

"In the short term," Hersman said, "of course it's money! If Europe has a unified government, it can allocate the 500 billion Euromarks that have not yet been received according to the needs and actual conditions of each country. And Russia can definitely Get enough funds and supplies for reconstruction.”

"What about the long term?" Olga asked. "What benefits does Russia gain in the long term?"

"In the long run," Hessman smiled faintly, "Russia will always be unified! Isn't Russia's population and territory a guarantee for future benefits?"

The Queen laughed, "That's what I said, but the Russians have their pride, and I can't force them to join... But I can call on the people to vote in favor before the referendum. But I'm not sure whether it can pass."

"That's enough." Hessman said, he raised his glass, "With your support, Russia will eventually become a real part of Europe, and Russia's joining means that the European Community will become a strong and prosperous United States. So let us now wish the United States of Europe to become the largest and most brilliant Millennium Empire in human history!"

"Long live the Millennium Empire of Europe!" The Russian Queen also raised her glass high.
