Chapter Seventy-Nine, The Blackest Congress

The faces of the 5 members of the Frankfurt Preparatory Committee were very ugly, and the Austrian delegation lodged a strong protest on the grounds that the Austrian Empire was a whole.

The delegates to the Frankfurt Conference were allocated seats according to their population, theoretically one from 50,000 people, and if the non-German regions were not kicked out, the conference would have been the exclusive domain of Austria.

At this time, the states of Schleswig and Holstein were still part of Denmark, and Austria controlled part of Italy, surpassing the population of Lesser Germany combined.

Protests are okay, anyway, Hungary and a series of regions are indeed not part of the German region, and they are not afraid of ripping.

However, he did not expect that the Austrian representative would be very shameless in stabbing the matter to the reporter and openly unveiled the shady curtain of the meeting.

Because of the Customs Union, Prussia, the most industrially developed country in the German Confederation, had the greatest influence among the capitalists, and this conference did have a clear tendency.

By now, everyone knows that the Austrian delegation is here to smash the field and not let the Austrians participate in the meeting?

Can this still be considered a preparatory reichstag of Germany? It is expected that the Austrians will leave with great joy, and the Parliament, which has little legitimacy, will become a laughing stock after it is missing.

"Everyone, we must take action, the recent public opinion is very unfavorable to us, if it continues, the enemy's conspiracy will succeed!" Merlin said solemnly

The media exposed their black history, but did not arouse their vigilance, the capitalists in the world are all raccoon dogs, who does not have a black history?

Now they are most worried about the Austrian delegation, which as the largest state in the German region, often plays the role of the leading big brother.

Whether they liked it or not, Austria's influence in the German Confederation was enormous, and it was impossible for the Reichstag to gain popular approval without Austria's participation.

"Otherwise, we will simply change our name, and call it the Little German Reichstag, and let the Austrians get out!" A Prussian representative proposed

"Impossible! Winstor, you are splitting the great German Empire, and if it was only the Little Reichstag, then we would also withdraw! The representative of Bavaria objected

The main purpose of this congress was to expand the political influence of the bourgeoisie, and the unification of the German regions was actually secondary, and the Frankfurt Conference was not as important as the history books described.

Otherwise, in the end, even the Kingdom of Prussia would not have recognized the conference, which was too idealistic, and expanded the rights and interests of the capitalists indefinitely, without the slightest feasibility.

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

The establishment of the Little German Reich was in the interest of the capitalists of the North German region, who could avoid competition from the Austrian capitalists.

But it was different for many capitalists in South Germany, especially the Kingdom of Bavaria, where the economy was very closely linked to Austria, and if it was separated, it would be a disaster for them.

Because of the protest of the Austrian delegation, the conference has not yet begun, so naturally there is no need to solve the problem by voting, and if the support of the representatives of the South German region is lost, then the meeting will not need to be held.

……

The bourgeoisie is naturally compromising, and after a week of controversy, a compromise was reached, allowing the representatives of Bohemia and Hungary to attend the meeting, but limiting their quota.

A direct upper limit on the number of delegates from any state was set at 200, and only Austria and Prussia were represented at the meeting.

Undoubtedly, the question of the status of Austria and Prussia, as the largest state of Germany, must have an equal status.

The Austrian delegation, headed by Anderson, was originally here to do something, so how could it give up?

Austria must have the most representations. Anyway, Austria has the largest population now, and there are no professional statistics in this era, so who knows how many Germans there are in Austria?

The Prussians, who wanted to gain the same status as Austria, naturally did not agree, knowing that this meeting was planned by Prussian interest groups in order to exclude Austria.

A tug-of-war began between the Austro-Prussian delegation, which soon spread to a regional contradiction between North and South Germany, in which all the delegates were involved.

The controversy lasted until June, and the Austrian delegation gradually gained the upper hand. But it doesn't matter, the scandalous Frankfurt conference has become a joke at this time.

The Vienna Zeitung described the meeting as a "feast for capitalists" and accompanied it with a picture of a group of fat-headed capitalists slaughtering a cow with knives and forks.

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

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

Finally, he used "the dirtiest Congress in history" to describe this meeting, which has not yet been whitewashed, and the delegates attending the meeting are all black.

Scholars, civil servants, and members of society attending the conference were no exception, and election fraud was the biggest black history.

For example, if a representative is elected with 30,000 votes, less than 100 people vote; Another example is a regional election, where there is only one candidate, and the unanimous vote is elected by default......

To sum up, it is election fraud. This election will take less than a week from start to finish, and many places may not even have time to send a message, and they may not be able to avoid illness.

Experts and scholars have formed groups to criticize the election from technical points, for example: the newspaper published where the election was held today, and the election will start the next day, and it is simply too late in time.

Numerous surveys have shown that 90 percent of Germans are unaware of this election, and 99 percent have not participated in this election.

At this point, there was no longer any need for Franz to continue to take action, and the delegates attending the meeting were hacked from head to toe, and many people could not stand the pressure of public opinion and voluntarily withdrew from the meeting.

The congress lasted until July, when the bourgeoisie's self-organized conference collapsed due to changes in the political situation and internal and external troubles.
