Chapter 7

Time passed so fast that a year passed in a blink of an eye. Akkado, as if forgotten, was left by Germany in an office on the edge of Hamburg, accompanied by two chairs and a brand-new typewriter.

This typewriter was bought by akkado with his salary. It's a private property, because the depressed German industry and the almost zero army expenditure would not equip a second lieutenant with this kind of non combat typewriter.

During this period, akado received a letter from Hitler, which said that he had made small achievements in Munich, that his speech was appreciated by many dignitaries, and that the capitalist group that secretly helped Hitler was already quite large. At this moment, akado was still only a second lieutenant stationed in the suburbs of Hamburg, and his position remained unchanged for a whole year.

However, in the distant Scottish sea, a knight stabbed his first sword against the Treaty of Versailles.

About 70 German warships were escorted to Britain, where they were waiting to be divided up by the world powers. These warships once made the British suffer a lot in the battle of Jutland, but now they will become the weapons of the enemy.

Ferocious British soldiers boarded these German warships, carrying rifles and escorting a group of German sailors from their posts. These soldiers were about to be repatriated. They lost the chance to challenge British sea power. They were in a depressed and helpless line and stepped out of their favorite warships.

"Push what push! You think you won? no We are betrayed! Fool! I will definitely call back! Let you feel what I feel now! Asshole A German Navy captain yelled in the crowd. He was pulled out of the line and wrestled with two British soldiers. The scene was chaotic.

On the flagship of the German high seas fleet, an old hand picked up the phone. Tired, a firm voice rang out: "I'm general Ludwig. I don't want to use German blood to water the enemy's flowers. Now I order that all officers stand by at the sea valve, ready to carry out my next instructions."

Ludwig? Feng? When general lute finished his command, he hung up the phone. He looked at the three officers standing in front of him powerlessly and said in a low voice, "it's over, gentlemen. Our 50 years of hard work, as long as I give an order, will all sink to the bottom of the sea."

"Sir, we fought with you in all directions and obeyed your numerous orders. Only this order humiliated us, but we had to carry it out." An officer saluted a standard Prussian salute and said gravely.

Another officer stood up straight and said in a loud voice, "we will never give up our warships to the British! I'd rather sink with the boat

General Ludwig waved to them to stop. "Major general wells, have most of the sailors been sent back?"

The middle-aged man, who did not speak among the three officers, stepped forward and said, "general, the soldiers have been sent more than half by the British. In a few days, we will have fewer people. Then we can carry out the plan."

"It's hard for you to stay with me." General Ludwig grinned at himself and stood up with the handle of his chair: "if this place is destroyed by us, it's really hard to say whether the British will let us go. I really want you to come back with the sailors. You are all rare talents in the German Navy. "

"We've been serving the high seas fleet all our lives, general! If God arranges for the destruction of the high seas fleet, I hope I can accompany it to the end of the road. " The first officer to speak said with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you, Colonel Cooper." Ludwig forced a smile.

On June 21, 1919, a peaceful day, general Ludwig picked up the phone with shaking hands and gave the most important order of his life: "operation rainbow begins! All warships, sink

Petrels are singing in the distance, everything is still so natural, the sea breeze is blowing on everyone's face, two British soldiers are smoking on the deck of a German destroyer. Not far away came three officers in British navy uniform. The two men immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Is it normal?" After a military salute, the British official in the middle asked with a smile. Now every Englishman is always smiling, because they won the first World War. Here are all their spoils.

"Report to Colonel Merritt! Everything is normal here! The Germans can't do anything The soldier replied loudly.

All of a sudden, the warship under his feet swayed slightly. Colonel Merritt frowned. He looked up at the German battleship Frederick the great in the distance. He suddenly widened his eyes. He didn't know what kind of fright he had received.

"God! Caesar! What's wrong with the Caesar? Come on! Let everyone know! Keep an eye on the Germans! Come on After a short silence of about ten seconds, he came back to himself and ordered loudly.

He waved to the two soldiers in front of him: "go to the engine room immediately! If you encounter a suspicious German soldier, open fire immediately! Now we take over the ship! Come on

Before he had finished speaking, the destroyer, whose side number was G102, trembled again, and the whole hull began to lean slightly to the right.

The two soldiers immediately took up their guns and ran to the engine room. The two British officers who did not speak also drew their pistols from their waists and followed them in a hurry. However, Colonel Merrill, who was standing on the deck, said nothing, supported the slightly shaking railing and watched the battleship Catherine begin to sink slowly not far away“ Who are you? The British are not allowed here! We haven't handed over the warships to you yet! " Behind him came a hasty word of German“ move out of my way! Or we'll fire! " A British official yelled“ Bang The gun went off. In the distance, guns began to ring, and the whole silent German high seas fleet seemed to be alive again. The Germans relied on terrain to fight back, using pistols that they could only wear without confiscating officers, and relying on a limited number of bullets to prevent the British from entering the cabin. Soon, the flagship of the German high seas fleet, the battleship Frederick the great, sank, and a huge whirlpool rose on the sea, engulfing the whole iron and steel giant. The command flag of the German high seas fleet flew obstinately to the end. Then, Catherine also disappeared on the sea, the whole sea was in chaos, the warships of the German fleet sank one by one, the British were unprepared and began to snatch the rest of the warships in a hurry. About 47 German warships, including almost all the battleships, sank to the bottom of the sea. The British rescued only 23 of the more than 70 warships of the German high seas fleet. Colonel Merritt leaned against the railings of Destroyer G102, smoking, watching the rest of the German warships staggering on the sea. Because the rescue was timely, the destroyer did not sink into the sea. The soldiers killed four German officers and closed the sea valve in time. However, the warship had tilted 45 degrees and looked like it was on the edge of sinking. On a British barge, the rest of the German naval officers were held together. They were confiscated of their identity weapons and swords. Half of them were even handcuffed, but their faces were smiling with victory. They succeeded. The German high seas fleet did not fall into the hands of the British and French. The news flew back to Germany as if it had wings. Everyone was jubilant. At the first time, German diplomats began to operate. They tried their best to let these German heroes who had made amazing moves go home. At the time of the implementation of the shipwreck project code named "operation rainbow", which shocked the world, akado was using his brand-new typewriter to type a report. He excellently completed his task. Now every soldier of the 103 regiment and 105 regiment can calmly face the gas attack. With the extinction of the fleet on the high seas, the German army has been compressed to 920000 people, and most of the soldiers have lost their heavy weapons. Numerous cannons and machine guns have been destroyed, and the German high level is on the verge of collapse. In comparison, 105 regiments of the newly formed 103 regiment stationed in Hamburg still maintain combat effectiveness and daily combat training. As the situation got further out of control, the 105 regiment was ordered to rush to Ruhr to quell more and more riots there. Before he left, Cruze, the leader of the 105 regiment, came to akado's office, sat opposite his desk, knocked his legs, and threw his white gloves on the tea table. He looked at akado's new typewriter, and then said, "we're going to set out in the afternoon and rush to Ruhr, Frederick? President Ebert found that the fragmented old army could not complete the task of maintaining law and order, so he ordered the headquarters to allocate the new national defense force. There's more and more trouble. "“ People will soon find that such a mess will only drag their own feet. Only good order can make Germany stand up again. " Akado said as he typed. He didn't even raise his head, and Cruze didn't care. He knew that captain akador, who was sitting at the table, had profound knowledge and knew German politics and military affairs like the back of his hand. He benefited a lot from chatting with this second lieutenant, so he did not despise him because of his low rank“ Sometimes I even suspect you've been a general, akado Cruze said with a smile: "I'm writing to recommend you. It's estimated that the letter will arrive in Berlin in the next few days. Good luck. " Akado stopped typing and looked up at Cruze in surprise: "I've just been promoted to second lieutenant for one year. Even if you recommend me, it will be shelved because I'm not qualified enough."“ As you said, for the future of Germany, I always have to try. " Cruze burst out laughing. Cruze, the head of 105 regiment, left with his regiment. He really wrote to the new army headquarters in Berlin to praise akkado's work, and gave him an old Prussian sword when he left.
