In a move that has left the German people on edge, the Reichstag’s budget committee has adopted a proposal to increase the country’s military presence. The plan, put forth by the government, includes a massive allocation of 68,000 marks to prepare the army for battle. This decision was met with some resistance, as lawmakers suggested diverting funds from the strategic railways to more pressing concerns. However, their voices were drowned out by the conviction that a confrontation with France cannot be long delayed.
