Chapter 72

"I don't think we can let him have more power. He is too young and impulsive. We can't give the future of Germany to such a little boy." Said an old general with thick eyebrows, leaning on the back of his chair.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a brand-new lieutenant general uniform looked dismissive: "we are all old. He did what we wanted to do, but could not do. We should support him. "

"What else can we do to support him? What he did was enough to hang him dozens of times when I was young! We didn't pursue him and gave him more and more power. " An old general with a big white beard and bald in the middle of his head patted the table and said.

"However, his recent diplomacy has been quite successful. We can't ignore his contribution just because he has done something extraordinary. Germany is becoming stronger and stronger. This is what we all want to see." President Hindenburg, who is sitting at the top of the table, squinted and said that he has not been in good health recently. After a few words, he gasped.

"It's reassuring for all of us that general harmstein is in the position of commander-in-chief. He can also give some pressure to Akha and make him have some scruples in doing things!" The old general with thick eyebrows thought about it and said.

"Yes! We can't change the commander-in-chief of the national defense forces at will. Hamstein is one of our people. He is reliable at a critical time. There is no need to change him. " At first, the middle-aged general, who was also against him, nodded and said, "the troops we control are decreasing. We can't give him any more real power."

"If you don't rest assured, give him the Navy. It can be seen that he is a rare talent who is proficient in many kinds of combat. I have no opinion about giving him the Navy. Moreover, the navy has less than 20000 people. We can afford this reward." Sitting in the corner of the table, the real leader of the German Navy, the general of the Reidel Navy, said.

The bald old general in the center snorted and laughed: "hum, you're willing to pay《 The Navy part of project underworld has turned you over as a naval commander, and you're working so hard to support the little major general akado? Give him all the strength in your hands? "

"Watch your words!" At the beginning, the old general with thick eyebrows said angrily, "what we are discussing is how to deal with akado? Major general Rudolph's question, what does it have to do with the middle * of Randall? "

"What else can we do? How can we promote him to general? Joke, have you ever seen a German Chinese general under 28 years old? You go to the national defense forces to have a look! How many 40 year old colonels are there? The 50 year old young general is already a young group! What do you want us nobles to do with ourselves? Salute a general younger than their son? " The bald old general said more and more angrily, patting the table and complaining.

"Don't pat the table in front of me! There is only one person in my life who can clap my table, that is your majesty Hindenburg opened his eyes and said this slowly. The room was immediately quiet, and no one dared to speak aloud.

"All the exercises plans of the national defense forces are made by him, more than half of the weapons and equipment are purchased by him, and the future development program is also proposed by him a few years ago and gradually improved to the present..." the speech seems to be a very physical work for Hindenburg, and he finished a paragraph very slowly, Stop and take a deep breath.

Then he looked around at his generals, most of whom followed him to fight in all directions. They were the legitimate members of his lineage: "we are old! One day, we will hand over our power to the young people behind us. What we have to do is very simple. We just need to choose these successors for Germany. "

"I am a Chinese general." The middle-aged general stood up and said, "but I know I'm not as good as general akado, so it's no shame for me to salute him. If he can lead us to victory, I'll salute him! To the German rites he popularized in the army

"Let's do it this time." Hindenburg nodded and slowly stood up with the help of his secretary: "in my name, how can I promote akado? Rudolph is the general of the national defense forces, and is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the joint operations staff Department of the national defense forces, which is in charge of the three armed forces. He was the first chief of staff of the three services in joint operations. To be responsible for the preparation, establishment and reorganization of the Navy, land and air forces of the national defense force. "

Hua La, a neat sound, everyone stood up from their seats and stood at attention to salute: "yes!"

Now that the matter was completely settled, the meeting was over. Hindenburg was helped out of the meeting room by the Secretary, and the others scattered in twos and threes.

"If the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces is under 28 years old, the German national defense forces will become the laughing stock of the world! Old marshal, he is old after all As he made his way to the hallway outside the conference room, the bald general frowned and complained to a thick browed general about his age.

"I'm more worried about the expansion of the great German Party in the army than that. I'm not afraid of a general in the national defense army. I'm afraid of a dictator who controls the military and political power and loses power. If this man makes a mistake, Germany will be doomed. " The old general with thick eyebrows sighed and said.

"I knew you could see far more than me in the battle of Somme river. I'm just a Wufu. I don't have as many twists and turns as you. But I just don't like this akkado. Why did I become a senior general when I was young? I'm a middle-class general, but I got my life in exchange! When Lao Tzu was fighting, he was still a big soldier! Damn it... "The bald and bearded general accompanied the old general with a curse. As he walked farther and farther away, his voice gradually became inaudible.

The middle-aged general watched the two of them walk away. He stopped and asked, "I heard that you and lieutenant general akado have known each other two years ago. They have a good friendship. I'll be the host when I have time. Let's have dinner together?" There will never be a shortage of smart people in the world. After witnessing the unstoppable rise of akkado, the commander of the two divisions of the national defense forces near Leipzig and Dresden in Germany, Zhong * will finally decide to make a choice ahead of time. Sometimes life is a gamble. If you win the gamble, you will prosper. If you lose the gamble, you will be doomed. But if you want to gamble, you have to start early, Because only by sending charcoal in the snow can we get benefits, and the icing on the cake is easy to be settled in the autumn. Bock is a smart man. He knows that he can be successfully promoted to become a general in the national defense forces. All of them rely on akado's "plan Hades" to expand the number of national defense forces. In 1920, he was still a staff officer of the Ministry of defense, with the rank of colonel. In just five years, with the expansion of akkado's army, he became a young general of the national defense forces. Originally, he was determined to support his president Hindenburg with Prussian loyalty, but when he found that Hindenburg's old body was about to fall, he could not get rid of the idea of finding another way out. After comparing various forces, he decided to gamble his life on the newly rising akkado? Rudolph group“ There is no problem. General akado has always wanted to meet general Bok, but he has never had a chance Randall was stunned. He was the only one who attended the meeting. He had a close relationship with akado, and he was the only one who spoke for akado. If he had not represented the Navy's opinions, he would not have been called“ thank you! I have a bottle of French Chateau de Margaux there for some years! Come to my house in the evening! I asked Mary to prepare her salad and soup Based on the principle that choosing a day is better than bumping into the sun, bok doesn't intend to waste this opportunity. He wants to establish a friendship with Randall immediately. And his home is in Berlin, not Dresden, where his army headquarters are based. In order to make friends, redAll nodded happily and agreed: "of course. I'd love to go! You know I'm a wine bug. I'm reluctant to leave when I hear that there is good wine. Ha ha ha ha He followed Bok with a laugh, then lowered his voice and said, "if you don't mind, general akado and Mr. stressman, vice chairman of the grand German Party, may be free tonight. Why don't you call them?"“ Certainly. No problem at all Bock laughed more happily and got to know akado directly. In the future, under akado's command, he will be at least the same level as Randall, so he added: "since we can invite so many distinguished guests, we just neglect to eat salad and thick soup. I'll go back to make a phone call and let the servant choose more excellent steaks, Prepare another roast chicken. " In the evening, akado and stressman, Merkel and jellin Nike? Cassia and others, along with Reidel came to the home of bock in Berlin, a few people talked and laughed until more than 8 p.m. The next day, Burke secretly joined the great German Party, and hurried back to the headquarters in Dresden, began to deploy the mission, ready to receive akkado's armored vehicles and new artillery secretly allocated to him. Moreover, he personally announced that he would no longer interfere in the development of the great German Party in the army at the head level meeting under his command, that is, the regular meeting attended by officers above the head of the 9th and 10th divisions of the national defense forces. When the news came back to Berlin, Hindenburg heard it and sat in a chair silently for more than ten minutes without saying a word. Just a few hours ago, he issued an order to set up a joint operations staff Department of the national defense forces, which is responsible for the three armed forces? Rudolph will be the first chief of staff of the joint operations of the three services. For the first time, the forces controlled by akkado accounted for more than half of the national defense forces. That is to say, even if Hindenburg wanted to replace akkado, he would not get the support of the national defense forces as before.
