Chapter 9

However, the promotion of major was proposed by the new commander-in-chief, general hickett. Naturally, there was no unreasonable opposition. For a strange promotion, everyone adopted a tacit attitude - maybe this young man named akado is hickett's dry son? What do you do to meddle in such a business?

To be a full-time officer, the treatment is different. Moreover, this is the core of Germany. As soon as akado got off the train, a sergeant came forward to salute him. His two heels were knocked together, and the crisp sound could be heard clearly even in such a noisy place as the railway station: "Mr. major, Sergeant Gell of the garrison battalion of the general command salutes you."

Akkado was not used to it. He subconsciously raised his right hand and went back to a military salute before he said, "Hello, Sergeant Geer, I'm akkado from Hamburg. I'm going to report to the headquarters."

Sergeant Geer was obviously a little confused. He came to pick up major akador, and he also showed his identity. As a result, the nervous major in front of him seemed to introduce himself again, which was very formal. The major was also very interesting. He didn't seem to have the airs of an officer, and he didn't look like an aristocrat, In a word, the major is quite far away from the rumored illegitimate son of general hickett... Just like, just like a country farmer.

After walking out of the station, akado was a little bit adapted to his new identity. A black car shuttled through the crowded streets and cut through the dense crowd. Akado, sitting in the back row, looked at the towering buildings on both sides and listened to sergeant Gell's eloquent introduction to the local customs of Berlin, or heard him complain about Versailles peace.

The car stopped in front of the courtyard gate of a building. Two German soldiers with rifles came up, saluted and extended their hands to the window: "Sir, this is the general headquarters of the national defense forces. Please show me your identification."

As he rolled down the window, akado handed out his identification. He followed the armpit of the soldier and saw a metal sign hanging on the side door post, which was written "general headquarters of German defense forces" in beautiful characters.

The soldier looked at the document, gave it back to akkado, and then saluted: "welcome, major." With that, he stepped aside and motioned for release.

The railing at the door rises slowly, and the car shakes again. Akado takes a deep breath and finally lets himself come here. Here is my own stage, a great stage to realize my dream of the third empire.

"Welcome to school akador. General hickett is waiting for you. Please put down your things and come with me." Outside general hickett's office, a very burly female secretary was teasing a maid who was responsible for cleaning the floor with coffee. When she saw akado coming in, she put down her cup, waved her hand to Sgt. Gell, who was bringing akado in, and then said, "you're the luckiest person I've ever met."

Are you lucky? Akkado touched his nose and showed a wry smile. The 21-year-old major was indeed very lucky, but now the German side's mess is really tough enough. He is confident that few people in the headquarters can take over except him.

"Do you know me?" Akado asked casually. It seems that everyone knows him here, but he doesn't know any of them.

"I'm Lieutenant grace, general hickett's secretary. You can be said to be a celebrity in the headquarters recently, so I think many people here know you. But now you know me Grace smiles, revealing the unique toughness and ability of Germanic women.

Seeing akado put his briefcase in his arm on the sofa next to the door, grace went to the door of general hickett's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" There was a sound inside. Through the door, akado couldn't really hear it, but grace obviously heard it and pushed open the door of the office.

Inside, facing the gate, there is a large desk. It's very big. It's a little big. It seems that this is indeed the headquarters of the German defense forces. Even the table is the largest in Germany. Akkado thought ill: will it be bigger than the president's table?

Major general hickett heard the voice of akado coming in and raised his head. He had a Prussian moustache and looked at akado with a smile. He reached out and took off the single lens from his right eye.

"It's you!" Akkado called out subconsciously. He was a little confused. He met the middle-aged man in his fifties. On the train he took to Hamburg that day, the middle-aged man sat opposite him.

"Yes, it's me." General hickett laughed, put his lens on the table, stood up and stretched: "now you know why I called you to me?"

"I still don't know. You might as well tell me directly." Akado really doesn't know why the top boss in front of him brought him here.

"I think what you said on the train is right, so I brought you here, hoping you can be my assistant." "I need people like you to revitalize the future of great Germany," sikert said bluntly

"Everyone can shout slogans, Mr. general. How can you be sure that I am the kind of person you need?" Asked akado, ending his embarrassment and staring at general hickett“ Young man, I've lived for most of my life. If I can't understand people, how can I be in this position? " Hickett pointed to the chair he had just sat in, and continued with a sarcastic tone: "are you not confident in your ability, or do you think I'm wrong?"“ Mr. general, with all due respect, there is no more suitable person in this building than me! You have found treasure for the German team! " Akado stands straight at attention and says confidently“ Don't be so sure, major. If you're incompetent, I'll get you out of my army! Besides, I don't want you to just brag. What I need is really capable people! " Hickett pointed to a pile of documents in front of him. He looked at akado with sharp eyes and said, "this is the test!" Akado stepped forward, picked up the document and looked at it carefully. On the first page, there was a big line: "plan for the integration of the first division of the German defense forces"“ Tell me what you think of it, akador When he got to the sofa, general hickett sat down, cocked his legs, took the water cup, put it on his mouth, took a sip, and made a squeak“ General, if we are dealing with the future war, I think we need a tank force! Once you have a tank, you can become a "tank force" of a tank force Said akado, turning two pages“《 The Treaty of Versailles doesn't allow us to have tanks, you know! Why do you still say that? " Asked hickory, lowering his legs with a twinkle in his eyes. Akado's mouth turned up slightly: "let's bypass the Treaty of Versailles. I think that's what you're going to do, general, isn't it?"“ Go on Said hickett, holding his chin in one hand and frowning. He felt a little inspiration and something flashed through his mind. Akado pointed to the plan and said, "this unit should be equipped with at least 60 large caliber guns, infantry with insufficient transport capacity should be equipped with bicycles temporarily, and secret trainers should simulate tank units. Although we don't have tanks, we can simulate tanks on cars with canvas."“ According to your estimation, how effective is the division? " Hickett asked the question he was most concerned about“ "Combat effectiveness?" Akkado proudly pointed the plan on the tea table with his finger and said contemptuously: "this division can tear up the defense line composed of two armies at least."“ Go to the suburbs, find major general Harmon and tell him what I mean. You will supervise the reorganization of the first division! " Sikert stood up and said, "in a month's time, I want to see the new first division of the national defense forces!"
