After returning home, Lin Shangzhou did not tell anyone about the fact that the agents came to him. He believed that Siket's purpose of sending agents to contact him was to act in secret, so he hid the matter in his heart.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Lin Shangzhou took Goebbels with him to attend the second party meeting. The reason for bringing Xiao Huang was very simple - Otto and the others wanted to meet this man who led the "Vorwärts" newspaper. A figure who gained the upper hand in a public opinion war between a small newspaper and Berlin's right-wing media.

After all these things, Louis was even more grateful that he listened to Lin Shangzhou and allowed Goebbels to join the party. Although he still wondered why Lin Shangzhou knew that Goebbels was so powerful, there was no need to care about such a small matter. It would not be a good choice to pursue it. .

Today's party meeting is ultimately a continuation of what was discussed at the last meeting. Last time, the restrictive policy was the biggest obstacle. Now that the restrictive policy has been rejected by Alexandrine, the biggest obstacle has become "too junior." this problem.

Lin Shangzhou has no good solution to this problem. After all, it is a fact that he is too young and underqualified. If Erich Koch insists on using this to refuse, then no one can do anything.

Lin Shangzhou hopes to unify the forces of the two factions in the party. Although not all members of the Progressive People's Party listen to Erich, he has strong appeal as a senior executive. If Erich Koch insists on refusing On his side, the Social Democratic Party may split.

If he directly takes some of the former Progressive People's Party members out to stand on their own, then Germany's legitimate left-wing party will once again be severely damaged. It is not much stronger in the first place, and will end up with internal divisions.

With an anxious mood, Lin Shangzhou took Goebbels into the conference room.

The people in the conference room have not changed from the last meeting, and the content of the discussion has not changed. During the meeting, Lin Shangzhou took out his revised "New Berlin Declaration" for the people on the rostrum to read, and also distributed it to to the party members in the audience.

After a few minutes of reading, the four senior leaders of the Social Democratic Party all showed expressions of satisfaction, while Erich Koch from the Progressive People's Party had a gloomy expression, and the senior executive from the Progressive Party next to him had no better expression. Nowhere, only Anton nodded approvingly.

In the opinion of Otto and others, although this "New Berlin Declaration" still has some minor flaws, overall it is many times better than the previous one. They are also surprised that Lin Shangzhou can make such changes, which fully illustrates He read the Berlin Declaration carefully.

Then Lin Shangzhou also took out the communicator. He introduced the small and flexible device in his hand to the party members and called Sanssouci Palace. The person who answered the phone was Alexandrine.

He briefly said hello to Alexandrine, then hung up the phone after chatting for a few words. The participants were dumbfounded when they heard the voice belonging to the German Emperor in the communicator.

Although they don't know much about the Ethernet communicator, they know that Lin Shangzhou's behavior of talking to the emperor on the phone illustrates his friendly relationship with the emperor, and they all know what Alexandrine did in the Imperial Council not long ago. .

Although no news came from Sanssouci Palace for a week after the Imperial Parliament met, this did not affect the speculations of various parties in Berlin about the emperor's behavior.

The participants knew that if one day the emperor chooses to take back his power, the biggest victim will be the current prime minister Albert, and the biggest beneficiaries will be those close to the emperor.

So far, except for Lin Shangzhou who spoke from his seat, they don't know which person from that party has a friendly relationship with Alexandrine. In other words, the biggest beneficiary after the emperor takes back power will be Lin Shangzhou.

Of course this is not absolute, it is just their guess, but this small guess is enough to make some people change their minds.

The most uncomfortable thing about the Social Democratic Party has always been that they cannot get the support of the emperor. Whether it is the past Emperor William or the current Empress Alexandrine, if someone close to the emperor can become the leader, then the emperor may love the house and the utopia. generally produce a friendly attitude towards the Social Democratic Party.

Lin Shangzhou's next words completely changed the direction of the atmosphere in the conference hall.

He told the attendees that he had given this device to General Vorbeck and Lady Cecilia of Sanssouci Palace, both of whom were members of the German military, except for Cecilia's identity as the German Princess.

Lin Shangzhou said that this communicator is very popular among generals in the army. This sentence seems to be promoting his products, but it is actually telling the participants that he will maintain friendly relations with the military in the future, that is, there is a military support.

The support of the emperor and the support of the military, these two killer weapons completely changed the minds of most of the participants, not to mention the presence of Goebbels.

Faced with such advantageous conditions, Erich used Lin Shangzhou's age as his argument, but Lin Shangzhou just smiled and refuted his objections with very reasonable reasons.

He admitted that he was too young and lacked political experience, but the prime minister had to form a cabinet, and cabinet members could make up for this shortcoming.

Erich was speechless about this. In the end, he had no reason to attack Lin Shangzhou and chose to disagree as if he was cheating.

Lin Shangzhou has no way to deal with this kind of dishonest behavior. If the meeting is passed, it needs the support of more than half of the party members and the consent of more than two people from the Social Democratic Party and two people from the Progressive Party on the rostrum. Now the four members of the Social Democratic Party naturally agree and can proceed. The only person on the Democratic side who agreed was Anton Ekrentz.

Therefore, under the obstruction of Erich Koch, Lin Shangzhou did not pass the second meeting to become the party leader.

This result was within his expectation, and after the meeting, Lin Shangzhou even came up with the idea of expelling the Progressive Party and leading the Social Democratic Party to go it alone.

But if this is really done, it will lead to another division of the German left-wing forces. Although Erich Koch is an annoying bitch, his ideas cannot represent the attitude of the Progressive Party and the attitude of the Progressive Party members. , don’t forget that there is also Anton Ekrentz who supports Lin Shangzhou.

Moreover, Lin Shangzhou clearly remembers "Taxing Junckers", one of the national policies of the Progressive People's Party after it came to power. He dared to take money from Junckers. This shows that this party is essentially a left-wing party, but Erich I'm just a bitch.

Therefore, Lin Shangzhou can only let go of becoming the party leader for the time being. Anyway, it will take a long time.
