I must object to this absurd scapegoating of Herr Brunelli.
Those to blame for the Liberation War and the deaths of our people can easily be found in Paris, and London, and Warsaw ((or whatever the capitals actually are in this game)). Blaming the government of the Republic is unreasonable, but laying blame at the feet of the Minister For Education, of all people, shows either cowardice of character or a derranged mind.
From the words being flung around the Reichstag this morning, one would suppose that we had been defeated by the Polish, conquered by the French, and that the roadsigns to Elsaß-Lothringen were already being changed back to Alsace-Lorraine. We have won the war, gentlemen! Germany stands alone against three of the Great Powers and stands triumphant. The Tverian is liberated, the Frank is subdued, and the Pole is left skulking back to his hole. And the glorious dead are heroes to be remembered, not pawns to be exploited for politicians' gain.
And while I have already voiced my own concerns about Herr Brunelli's education policy, unceremoniously flinging him from office just before a major election would be cruel and unusual. When the next government forms, we'll almost certainly have a different Minister For Education anyway.
Let us rather move forward from this victory, and stride forth into a new age of Peace, Progress, and Industry.
