"Okay, okay, okay! Wait a minute, I'll go and get you the party membership materials, you just need to sign it."

Louis jumped up from the sofa happily, and he left the living room as he spoke, leaving Lin Shangzhou frowning.

Lin Shangzhou had a feeling in his heart that he had been pitted, and Louis had actually prepared the materials and was waiting for him to agree! Damn!

A minute later, Louis returned to the living room with the materials for joining the party, he put these documents on the table and handed Lin Shangzhou a pen.

"All you have to do is sign it, and this afternoon I will hand it over to the SPD office in Strasbourg, and then you will be a member of the PSD, and when I come back in the afternoon I will take you to have your photo taken and get your membership card. "

You, you... Luis, how much do you want to get me into the SPD? The materials are all prepared for me in advance, just waiting for me to agree to join the SPD.

Lin Shangzhou glanced at him, took the pen, and signed his name on it after reading each material in detail.

Watching Lin Shangzhou sign his name on the materials, Louis felt a burst of relief.

"There is no way, the SPD as a whole is too weak compared to other parties, especially after the complete break between the SPD and Syndicalist in 1925, which led to the outlawing of other left-wing parties by the government, some radicals in the SPD chose to quit and follow the other left-wing underground activities.

"After the arrest and murder of Monsieur Thälmann by Chancellor Albert and the flight of Monsieur Pique to the French Commune in 1927, they almost lost their backbone and had no choice but to return to the SPD and secretly develop their power here.

After hearing this, Lin Shangzhou, who was signing, stopped what he was doing, he turned his head and looked at Louis suspiciously and asked, "You said that the prime minister arrested and killed Thälman?"

Louis rubbed his forehead with his right hand, this matter was one of the things that gave him a lot of headaches.

"Well, because in 25 years he made a wrong decision, when Prime Minister Albert temporarily dissolved Parliament on the grounds of the death of the Emperor, and then waited until Her Majesty the Empress succeeded to the throne and reconstituted the Parliament, and when the Parliament was reorganized, new elections were held for political parties, and Mr. Thälmann took the opportunity to announce that the Syndicalist Party was going to participate in the elections.

"His impulsive behaviour caused voters who should have voted for the SPD to vote for the PSD, which resulted in a crushing defeat for the SPD, which was outlawed after the election and a number of other left-wing organisations, forcing the entire party to go underground and abstaining from voting on the bill because of the robbing of votes.

Lin Shangzhou said with some indignation:

"Hmph, the prime minister has played a good hand! This has not only weakened the strength of the left wing in parliament, but also divided the left party, making the left wing, which is not very united, even more disunited. The

prime minister's calculations were really good, greatly weakening the left-wing forces in Germany, and Lin Shangzhou also knew through these words why the syndicalists did not choose to go deep into the working group, and in the face of the current decline, it was indeed difficult for them to help the workers.

Louis nodded.

Then it was Monsieur Picke who led the syndicalists in Germany, but after the 27 general election, the chancellor who was re-elected again searched for the syndicalists and was forced to flee to the French Commune.

"After this the left wing in Germany was greatly reduced, and I tried to persuade some of them to join the SPD, but they refused.

"So in order to strengthen the SPD, I decided after the 1927 general election with the rest of the party to merge with the similarly frustrated Progressive People's Party.

As he spoke, Louis had a tired look on his face, and the joy brought by Lin Shangzhou's joining the party just now disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that the situation of the SPD is not optimistic..."

After signing his name on the last document, Lin Shangzhou put his pen on the table, clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Louis with some displeasure, and said: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that I am on a thief ship."

Louis patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Hey, hey, don't care about these things, with your joining, I believe the Social People's Party will be strong."

"Are you sure?"

Lin Shangzhou looked at him in surprise and said, "I'm just an ordinary party member now, right?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shangzhou nodded.

"Okay..."

Louis picked up the party materials, sorted them out, put them back on the table, and then picked up the wine bottle, poured a full glass of wine for him and Lin Shangzhou, and then raised the glass and cheered happily: "Come! I would like you to join the party!" Lin Shangzhou picked up the

cup and touched it with a smile.

"Respect me for joining the party. Then

the two of them drank the wine from their glasses.

Putting the cup back on the table, Lin Shangzhou looked

at Louis curiously and said, "Louis, I'm curious how you merged the Social Democratic

Party and the Progressive People's Party?" "There's nothing to say, at that time, the SPD was too weak, and the Progressive People's Party was also weakened, so I had such an idea of merger popping up in my head, and after getting the consent of the rest of the party, I went to the Progressive People's Party to discuss, and finally reached a unified opinion- The merged political parties became the Social People's Party. "

It's amazing, you can merge two political parties, you're not an ordinary person.

Lin Shangzhou praised from the bottom of his heart and gave Louis a thumbs up, it is not a simple matter to merge political parties, and the fact that he can think of and make two political parties merge successfully shows that Louis is extraordinary.

"Can you tell me about the basic political situation in Germany at the moment, so that I can really know how bad the SPD is doing.

Louis cleared his throat and said: "First of all, the ruling Center Party is the most powerful, with the largest number of seats in the Imperial Diet, occupying about 30 percent of the seats out of nearly 400 seats, and it is a well-deserved majority party.

"Then there are the three right-wing parties, the Reich, the Fatherland and the Conservatives, which hold 40 per cent of the total seats in Parliament.

"Of the remaining 30 per cent of the seats, 10 per cent are occupied by the centrist National Liberal Party, and the remaining 20 per cent are occupied by the Socialist People's Party.

"Before the merger, the Social Democrats held 9 percent of the seats, and the Progressive People's Party held 11 percent.

Lin Shangzhou listened carefully to Louis's words, and summed it up that the right-wing forces are unprecedentedly strong, occupying a total of 70 percent of the seats, while the SPD only has a pitiful 20 percent of the seats.

Generally speaking, the MPs of the ruling party will definitely agree to the bill proposed by the prime minister, and now there are 30 percent of the votes in favor, and then the 40 percent of the parliamentarians are also right-wing, and there may be some opposition, but more will be in favor, so that OnePlus will have 50 percent of the votes in favor, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining center-left wing agrees or not.

If the SPD did not have the will of the state, it would be unlikely that the SPD would have become the ruling party.

Lin Shangzhou leaned back

on the sofa, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm really on the thief ship now..."

Louis looked optimistic, as if he thought that as long as they continued to work hard, the SPD would be able to become the ruling party sooner or later.

"Don't sigh first, we still have a chance if we work hard. "

Well, let's do it.

Lin Shangzhou lifted his spirits and nodded.

In the afternoon, Lin Shangzhou followed Louis to finish what he had to do, and when he returned home, he waited for the next day to go with Louis to meet the German syndicalists.

Although he already knew how difficult they were, Lin Shangzhou still didn't like them very much.

When he got home, he sat on the sofa and looked at today's Workers' Daily, where the aftermath of the strike had dissipated, and the newspaper did not publish any more about the March 27 strike, but it did publish that he had been attacked.

He flipped the newspaper to the other side, intending to read the story Goebbels had written, but looked at him and froze, then slapped himself with his hand.

"Why the fuck did I forget about Xiao Huang?!!!"

Lin Shangzhou realized that there was a figure around him who played a role in politics no less than the will of the state: Goebbels.

If Goebbels is allowed to join the SPD and serve as a propaganda commissioner, then the will not be able to get votes?!

Of course, Lin Shangzhou also thought of another thing in addition to the excitement, that is, Goebbels may not be willing to participate in politics, OTL is in a period of confusion He was told by Hitler to join NAZI, Goebbels in this world has a stable job, the German Empire is also thriving, he has no chance to be confused, so the probability of participating in politics is not high.

Lin

Shangzhou put the newspaper on the table, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and waited to get up and prepare to go out, it was almost half past six, and he was going to pick up Letia home.
