A decade ago an Austrian historian labelled Austria "a nation sui generis" -- culturally, ethnically, and politically distinct; no one's "errant offspring and lost province". (没人要again
Western wartime planners arrived at the long-term conclusion that an independent Austria was too weak on its own and instead should become a leading element within a Danubian federation. (这……“那家伙一个人活不下去,给他一大家子吧……”?
The document viewed Austria as the keystone of the Danubian arch over the past five centuries. Its people were at one and the same time the most provincial and the most cosmopolitan in Europe. Before 1918 they had possessed no sense of national identity and they had failed to develop it subsequently. They were victims of imperial memories, deeply riven by local and ideological divisions. Austrians had proved unable to establish a viable state. Paradoxically, however, Austria's lack of overheated nationalism made the country much more rational than nationalistic Germany or the other Central European states. Southeast Europe, or as the paper termed it, "Danubia," had finally succumbed to noxious nationalism. The national principle had obviously proved unworkable in "Danubia." Its people were too ethnically and religiously mixed, and too passionate. (这什么懒洋洋慢吞吞家主体质啊!
The time for a healthy and independent Danubian union, in which Austria could have found her natural function as an experienced and cultured 'older brother' of the Successor States, had gone. (natural functionって...
然后是懒得摘抄的总结:
贵族你……在眉毛眼里到底有多没用啊!人家研究员巴巴地提出一份“那家伙一个人也能过得挺好的”的报告,然后主编道歉不说,研究员自己就连饭碗都丢了……这……
Chapter 2: The Anschuluss Accepted
By steadily increasing pressure on von Schuschnigg, he undermined Austrian hopes for rescue from the outside, convincing many Austrians and others that Anschuluss was inevitable. This quiet approach promised Hitler the likelihood that Austria would fall into his lap like an overripe apple. (想到“总有一天你会像熟透的果子那样落进我们怀里”……TvT,萌得泪流满面
The British government recognized Hitler's "special interest" in Austria and hoped that flexibility on this issue would enable the great powers to reach a general European settlement. Oliver Harvey, Anthony Eden's principal secretary, reiterated in Feburary 1938 what he had been long correct in assuming, namely, "that nobody would fight for Austria."
According to Cadogan, Austro-German union was inevitable, and he acutally chafed at Hitler's hesitation in "solving" the Austrian question. "I almost wish Germany would swallow Austria and get it over with ... what is the good of brandishing Austria under Hitler's nose when we can't do anything about it?"
Chapter 3
不摘录了,来说说读书感想:
不能怪当年贵族对子独没有一个从学前班到退休后干什么的计划啊,他对自己结婚离婚是死是活都没有个计划啊……(被揍了
总算把他家战前一堆破事几个派别给稍微理清楚了点,不过Christian Social你们没一个领袖人物流亡,全都呆住国内等着被抓起来关进去,到底是图个啥啊=。=
党派小团体>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>奥地利的派别间鸡飞狗跳也很好玩(?)……没人要的贵族真萌啊(自重点啊你到底对贵族有什么深仇大恨啊!),虽然不觉得对奥托皇太子有意见,不过眉毛你偷偷赞助保皇党是作甚……
顺说在眉毛手下的贵族家流亡人士还真是憋屈……一直到47年才停止被当做敌国流亡者……真是何必= =|||||,而且47年这个年份……(想起了自己时间错位的脑补orz
第三章没看完,明天继续
以下是一些摘录/吐糟/脑补:
Austria became "ce qui reste," the state nobody wanted, a country little more than a "pathetic relic," according to the British historian Elizabeth Barker.
——最喜欢这样既不想活,又死不掉,还没人要的贵族啦!每次看都有一种抖M的快感
After 1919 many observers pronounced Austria a nonviable economic unit that could limp along only through the infusion of continued Allied support. A great deal of external aid, mainly from Great Britain and the United States, flowed into Austria, while the League of Nations virtually controlled the country's finances until 1926.
——虽然某书上将这段形容为人工呼吸,但这也太那什么啦俺只要脑补输血就够了(自重
不过呼吸机贵族真的很(ry……
[Social Democrats, Christian Socials and German Nationalists] each party had its own vision of Anschluss with Germany as a way out of current impasses. Austrian Socialists dreamed of union with their left-wing German brethren in an enlarged, German-speaking, socialist republic encompassing Germany and Austria. Christian Socials envisaged a fusion with their German conservative and Catholic Centre Party counterparts. Pan Germans favoured unification with Germany's nationalists.
——那什么,一家一共三派人,三派人全想着求包养,所以还真是彻底没救了(扶额
In sum, the modest Swiss model which the Allies had urges the Austrians to emulate remained unattractive to socialist, conservative, and nationalist groups, all of which viewed the Austrian Republic as a decadent, weak, boring structure, lacking historical roots and devoid of any future. ... Indeed, after World War I the pupulation of Vorarlberg voted to join Switzerland, while only 2 per cent in Salzburg and 8 per cent in Tyrol voted to join a new and independent Austria.
——单知道幺儿福拉尔贝格打着包裹就想往瓦修家赶,倒是没想到盐堡和蒂罗尔小朋友居然也有这么低的票...
"The people of Britain," [Churchill] intoned resoundingly, "will never desert the cause of the freedom of Austria from the Prussian yoke." It was indicative of Churchill's heavily historical perspective that he still interpreted the struggle against the Nazis in terms of the war against the Germans of the Second Empire, who had all been subsumed by propaganda under the term "Prussians".
——这也太冤枉了,不由脑补如下:
“奥地利是英国为其自由而拔剑的第一个国家。英国人民绝不会放弃从普鲁士的压迫下解救奥地利,使其重获自由的!”
“混蛋眉毛你打我作甚,强抢了民女的是我弟弟啊!!!”
(被揍死了
还有一段:
“虽然我是奥地利驻美公使,但现在我的国家已经不存在了...怎么办?”
“你放心,H ERO会做出合适的调整的。”
调整就是:
把驻维也纳公使馆降格为隶属于柏林的领事馆,然后拍着路德的肩膀说:“奥地利交给你了,奥地利的外债也交给你了。行啦,得了好处,怎么能不负责任呢……”
(所以说什么叫take the burdens with the benefits啊你们...
另外在看前言的时候觉得,更加喜欢揆姑娘那篇独奥里的设定啦,自己杀死自己的设定虽然在WW1之后也可以脑补,但果然还是WW2之后,对过去的记忆抹杀更为彻底啊……
不过因为看不懂德语所以存的是英语翻译
Wien Blut
Come with me, come into my castle
Fun waits for us in the basement there
Gentle, gentle, we want to be
Liberate the moment from time
Yeah, paradise lies under the house
The door falls closed, the light goes out
Are you ready?
Are you good to go?
Welcome…to the darkness!
To the darkness!
No one can disturb us down here
No one, no one must hear us
No one will discover us
We enjoy life
And (because) you are alone sometimes
I plant you a little sister
The skin so young, the flesh so tight
Under the house, a love nest
Are you ready?
Are you good to go?
Welcome…to the darkness!
To the darkness!
To the loneliness
To the sadness
For eternity
Welcome to reality
And when you walk through a deep valley*
Are you ready?
And if your life (existence) was without light
Are you good to go?
Fear no misfortune, fear no torment
Prepare yourself
I am with you and I hold you
I hold you in the darkness!**
In the darkness!
想到了S酱的《血与土》……地下室的尸体(喂)与壁橱里的骸骨真棒> <……
不知为何觉得这么邪恶的歌词很适合脑补,也适合脑补贵族,当然方向性不定,不过断然不是那个时事梗……(看到时事梗解说之前一直在脑补其他的东西
Donaukinder
Donau Spring your bloodletting/bleeding
Where comfort and sorrow dissolve
Nothing good lies hidden, wet
in your damp meadows
No one knows what happened here
The floods (are) rusty red
The fishes were breathless
And all sponges dead
At the banks in the meadows
The animals became sick
Out of the eyes into the river
(the) stench (of) vile urge
Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.
Soon mothers stand at the stream
And cry a flood
On the fields through the dead body
The sorrow climbed into all ponds
Black flags on the city
All rats fat and satisfied
The poisonous humming everywhere
And the people so far away
Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.
Donau Spring your bloodletting/bleeding
Where comfort and sorrow dissolve
Nothing good lies hidden, wet
in your damp meadows
Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.
自从看了sango说30年战争之后,不管怎么看时事梗的解说,还是满脑子的30年啦……
另,今天重看了sango的1989背景普奥,泪流满面……
猎犬们在狂吠,他们的铁链嚓嚓作响;
人们在床上安睡,
他们梦见从不曾拥有的东西,
他们从梦中的悲喜里得到安慰。
第二天早晨一切化为乌有。
可是他们乐此不疲,
指望在枕头上找回,
留给他们的痕迹。
轰我走吧,你这不眠的猎狗!
叫我在睡眠里再也找不到安息!
我做完了这所有的梦
干吗还要在安睡者中间游移?
I'm not broken
