((You know...((End in 1936, continue onto HOI4. Hopefully as a fascist/communist dictatorship, but we'll see.))
im worried about the large number of militant socialist units in the country, at the moment we are in a good position to defend ourselves if they revolt but should war break out im not sure we could defend against a revolt and keep on fighting a war at the same time.

Crisis Team Amendment
I. The Republic of Germany cannot act upon the Crisis Team's recommendations until the Chancellor approves them.
II. If the Chancellor does not approve of the Crisis Team's recommendations then the Crisis Team must devise a new strategy until one is approved.
I propose the following legislation to rationalize our "crisis" system:
Relax, they currently can call only 72,000 scattered, unorganized, and green men. A strong counter by a local Gendarmerie force would be enough to break any force they muster.
-Johannes Carile, Minister of the Interior
The Honourable Chancellor and indeed those who created such a committee seem to forget that such a committee does not and should not answer to the executive, most certainly not one that is indirectly elected, but to Parliament, which, as it happens, has a National Assembly ready and able to act on the advice of the Crisis Committee regarding Foreign Affairs. This act seems to me and indeed many of my colleagues as a blatant attempt of an indirectly elected official to usurp power from the National Assembly, which I do motion, and I will undoubtedly be joined by both houses, should not stand.
Does the Honourable Minister of the Interior not agree that rather than calming members in this house on the matter of damage that militant socialist can do upon our nation and informing them that the Gendarmerie can "break" them, which I must confess I do find quite poor choice of words, he and his colleagues should look to prevent open combat with incurgents and truly secure peace in the German Republic. If the Government cannot guarantee the safety of its own citizens and must retreat to arguments that the damage done would be minimal on the scale of the entire nation and that those insurgents can be cruely and inhumanely defeated, I must say I have no confidence in both the Minister and this Government.
