Chapter 68

"You are not going to abide by this Convention?" Strassman looked at the man in front of him with disappointment: "you know, we have taken this opportunity to squeeze out and suppress the national defense forces, which has made the chairman dissatisfied! He is seizing the opportunity to cultivate his strength recently, which is our loss. "

"Compliance with the convention?" The short man waved his hand with a smile: "we will abide by the convention only when it is advantageous. Do you understand? Who told you about Gustav? Krupp will abide by those boring conventions? "

"Once it's revealed that your factory produces new howitzers, you'll be sent to the gallows! Are you crazy? Don't want to live? " Asked stressman, somewhat exasperated.

"Am I crazy? Mr. stressman, if there is no profit, my factory will kill me like 100000 workers. Each of them can drown me with a mouthful of saliva. " Krupp retorted with a snort: "since the national defense forces want to purchase this kind of weapon, I will produce it."

He took a look at stresman and continued, "you know I've lost the arms market in the Far East, and you know what it means to me to lose the IDF order again!"

He looked at the endless stream of people outside the car windows: "Henkel aircraft company has recently received some orders from the Japanese, and has also produced a number of fighter planes for the national defense forces; Mercedes Benz's civil production line has occupied the European automobile market and is developing its own business to the United States; Only my business is shrinking! I can't wait to die! Do you understand? "

"So we just betrayed the interests of the national defense forces, and then came to curry favor with our master, akkado? Rudolph "What do you think President akado will do to us?" Mr. stresman sneered? The wolf dog who threw us to the national defense forces, and then looked at us, and there was no bone left? "

"Carl? Benz, the old and immortal, turned to acardo and introduced him to all his contacts. Now acardo is as cunning as a fox, dividing the merchant group led by me. " When Krupp thought about it, he gritted his teeth, hammered the leather armrest on the Mercedes Benz, and said bitterly, "now we have to bow to akkado."

"With the parliamentary election coming, the greater German Party must have an advantage in voting. Fanny's propaganda work is very good. If I pick up the newspaper and read a few pages, I will also choose to support this party." Stresman found himself in a terrible mood. He didn't know which onion he had eaten wrong. He wanted to follow Krupp to make this little move.

"It's obvious that the greater German Party has gained an advantage in the election campaign. We have not been unfaithful to the greater German party. At most, we are just internal power distribution, so akado will not do anything to us." Krupp seems to be comforting stressman, as well as himself.

While talking, the car had stopped at the door of akado's apartment. This apartment is a birthday present given by Krupp to akkado a few years ago. Akkado chose to meet them here. The implication is really profound.

When they went upstairs, stresman and Krupp saw that the tarmac of the stairs was guarded by SS soldiers in black uniform. Among these guards, there were two national defense forces soldiers with new submachine guns on their chests. It was obvious that akado was for them. Besides businessmen and politicians, akado also had more loyal forces in his hands.

"Stresman, Krupp, sit down, please Akado did not appear to be angry when he met him. On the contrary, he was gentle and unpredictable.

He asked them to sit down, asked Anna to pour coffee for them, then sat down on the sofa in front of them, knocked their legs and laughed.

"Well, first of all, congratulations to Gustav? Mr. stresman. " "I would like to congratulate you on your nomination for the 1926 Nobel Peace Prize. My intelligence staff told me that politicians in several countries are extremely satisfied with the contracts you have signed. You are sure to win the peace prize this time. "

"Chairman! Please listen to me, this time... "Stresman said in a flustered way. After all, he was loyal to akkado earlier than Krupp, and he was also an old man under akkado. He had to consider the degree of trust akkado had in him, which was the guarantee that he would continue to get the support of the military and other forces.

Reaching out to stop stresman's explanation, akado continued: "I trusted you, so I sent you to Locarno, but what you brought me was a treaty that made the IDF suffer. Give me a reason why I don't have to crush you on my tank wheel

"Akado! Germany needs a break! We can't always think about revenge and war. Wouldn't it be better if we could achieve our goal through peaceful means? " Said stresman in a hurry.

Akkado snorted coldly: "hum! Let's squat in front of the Soviets as watchdog dogs and Poland as two guard dogs. When they come, we'll bark twice. If they're afraid, we'll get a steak as a reward? "

"Enough! Akado! The great German Party is not your own! " Krupp said angrily.

"That's why this happened, right? If it belongs to me, then I don't have to bear the betrayal, do I? " Akkado looked at Krupp and said: "I give you an infinite future! You gave me a shameful betrayal

He stood up and stared at the surprised Krupp and said, "I've given you countless orders! There are hundreds of millions of bullets sold to the Far East alone! There are thousands of cannons, 100000 new submachine guns, hundreds of thousands of Mauser 98K! I've also given you the latest concept of self-propelled artillery to build the future artillery system for the national defense forces! " He pointed to Krupp: "I will provide you with the most advanced production line theory and the most advanced standardized weapon equipment. These things are worth tens of billions when they are popularized! Don't you feel satisfied with that? "“ I just hope that in the new government in the future, there will be voices for us to speak! What's too much of this? I'm not betraying you! I'm fighting for some rights. " Krupp got angry, too“ Hum, you don't want to have a voice! You want your voice to be louder than that of the military! " Akado said with a sneer“ What's wrong with that? You are not going to set up a military government! " Stresman was very sensitive about the junta and said immediately“ Gentlemen, I don't want to establish a military government in which the military is in power, and I don't want a merchant government that easily compromises with foreign governments! What I want is a strong Germany, not a weak mess! " Akkado solemnly said: "in my way of revitalizing Germany and making Germany the world's first power, who is against me is my enemy!" Akkado said excitedly: "this world's first powerful country represents industry first and military first. The products it makes will be used by all countries in the world. The currency it issues is the world's common currency, and the financial policies it formulates are the world's financial rules! Its territory is where its troops go! "“ The man who follows me, I will make him the richest businessman, the most influential politician and the most powerful soldier by all means! Are you willing to follow me“ Do you still trust us? " Stressman looked at the just angry akado in doubt. He was stunned for a long time and then asked weakly“ I will continue to trust you until you betray me again. " Akado looked at the two men and said, "at that time, you will become my enemies, crushed by my anger! The dust of history. "“ Thank you Stresman suddenly felt a little moved, though his age and working environment had made him forget what is moving“ Will you still give me the order? Continue to give me the IDF arms orders? " Krupp does not believe that after akkado's stormy anger, he can still get secret orders from the national defense forces. Akado nodded: "of course, as long as you provide the best weapons. I will not abuse my power or retaliate against you. I will set an example to keep the competition within the greater German Party in a virtuous circle. I hope you will also remember today's lesson! Because you don't have a chance to make a mistake. "“ Thank you. Thank you Krupp finally lowered his head and said weakly. For him, it is his allies who bring him benefits. Even if he tries to gain power, he serves for more benefits“ Stay for dinner in the evening. It's my treat "I asked Anna to invite a cook, and I'll have a good meal here in a moment," akado said casually“ Invite us to dinner? Is there anything to celebrate? " Stresman was stunned, then blurted out“ Of course, to celebrate your upcoming Nobel Prize. " "In addition, we have to celebrate the signing of nine new arms procurement contracts by the national defense forces," akado said with a smile“ We have just signed the Convention and intend to violate it? " Stressman felt that he was just a joke, and no one wanted to abide by the convention that he signed after all his hard work for even a second“ We will abide by the convention only when it is advantageous. " Akkado and Krupp said in one voice. After that, they looked at each other and laughed together“ Let me just say, akado, just like I think, we sign the peace treaty and we don't forget to prepare for the next war. " Krupp said triumphantly“ I think time's words, on the other hand, are more suitable for us. " "The Germans not only yearn for peace, but also make cannons," he said“ all one to! We make cannons for peace! " Krupp also took the glass in front of him“ We're firing our guns at the enemy and letting our own people bathe in peace. " Acardo then lifted his glass.
