Chapter 100

Schleicher, an assistant to the defense minister and one of the more powerful figures on the German side, is standing in the corridor of the German defense forces headquarters with his bag in his hand. Few Germans have heard of Schleicher, but he is a big shot.

Schleicher really has a background. He is a descendant of the Brandenburg family. In 1900, he joined the old army of Hindenburg and became friends with a young man named Oscar, who is the son of Marshal Hindenburg. Later, he served as an adjutant to the current defense minister, Groner, in the first World War, and made his mark when sikat was in charge of the national defense forces. Together with akkado, he established a secret cooperative relationship with the Soviet Union.

At that time, however, he didn't think much of akado, so the two people didn't have a deep connection, because in Schleicher's eyes, there was a bigger leg waiting for him to hold, which was president Hindenburg.

Unfortunately, time has proved everything. After Schleicher became president Hindenburg's confidant through his friend Oscar, akado began to emerge as the most powerful person in the national defense force and even in Germany. At this time, Schleicher found that it was too late to go back to acardo, because many of acardo's staff had his talents: such as Merkel within the greater German Party, such as the rising star of the national defense force, general blauchich.

At this time, another force found him and promised him a lot of things, including the position of defense minister, whom he had been coveting. Unfortunately, the current defense minister, Groner, is very clever in dealing with the issue of the national defense forces, and has always been trusted by Hindenburg and akkado.

He didn't agree with these people because he can't see through the situation, so it's hard for him to make a choice. He knows that those conditions obviously have a price. The so-called high official positions are just the temptation of the devil. Whether he can get those promises depends on luck and the result.

So he decided to stand here, because he decided to knock on the door of the office in front of him, hoping to talk about his problems with akkado. This is a gamble. According to his habit, this time, he still gambled all the things he could take out on the side that won more.

"Mr. schlecher, general akado, please come in." Hindra came out with a pile of papers in her arms, looked at the assistant secretary of defense who was waiting outside, said a word softly, and went to the end of the corridor on the other side. Schleicher had to push the door of akado's office by himself, and then summoned up the courage to go in.

"Welcome! Long time no see, Mr. Schleicher Acardo pointed to the sofa at his desk with a smile and motioned Schleicher to sit down. "Anna, pour Mr Schleicher a cup of coffee!"

"Thank you! No coffee. " Schleicher was not polite either. He just sat down on the sofa. When he heard akkado's words, he waved his hand and said politely. And while talking, he put his bag on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Then he didn't seem to care that Anna was by akado's side. He directly opened the file package, pointed to the files in it and said, "these are all my cards, general akado. If you're still interested, make a price."

Akado immediately burst out laughing: "Mr. schlecher, you are so interesting. I know your character and your style of doing things, so I think the price offered by my enemies is more attractive. So why do you come to me

This problem is a little poignant, because only Schleicher himself knows that he is fickle in his heart. What he is good at most is climbing up on a person's shoulder, and then he doesn't look back at anyone. In remote China, there is an old saying that is used to accommodate him, that is, to tear down a bridge across a river. He believes in his wisdom and believes that no one can be betrayed. He believes in his means and believes that no one can be manipulated. That's why he dares to come here today and wants to come here.

"It's easy! I like to stand with the winner... Because if I win, then I have at least some advantages. Once I lose, then I have no advantages, and even have to pay my life! " Schleicher said with a smile, "I know what kind of person I am, but even if I'm not very reliable, there are still many places to use me, right?"

Now that he has been identified, Schleicher doesn't want to hide. After all, his past is not difficult to find out. He relies on his family to approach Oscar, uses Oscar's friendship to embrace Hindenburg, and through Hindenburg's arrangement, he becomes Groner's assistant. Now that he leaves Hindenburg's control, what he wants is Groner's position.

He took a look at akado, with an imperceptible contempt in his eyes: "so let's make an offer."

Akkado was silent. He thought and thought, and finally he said his chips to Schleicher.

"What do you think of the position of secretary of defense?" Akado raised his eyebrows and asked, "I need a defense minister in my government, but I hope you understand! What I need is an obedient defense secretary. "

Schleicher was shocked. He didn't expect that akado's chips were not lower than those offered to him, so he was flattered at this moment.

However, akado looked at Schleicher and added: "of course, the defense minister is just a decoration. He has no real power. He is just a role similar to a mascot. Would you like to be such a character? " This time, it was Schleicher's turn to be silent. He longed for the position, not the title. In other words, he wanted power, not a poor chair. He thought for a long time, and finally said: "I think I should have some power, or I might as well ask for a sum of money."“ You know, sometimes it's more respectable to be a defense minister at home in a victorious country than a commander in chief in a defeated country. " Akado narrowed his eyes and said, "at least I can give you a guarantee that I will call you in the negotiation delegation when victory comes." Schleicher heard what akado said, and his eyes lit up, so he turned to look at akado's face and asked excitedly, "can you really do it?" Akado nodded and replied, "I will try my best to do it with my life! I think that's what every German wants to do and has to do. " Schleicher listened to his words very carefully. First he was stunned, then he clapped his thigh and laughed. It seemed that he had met the funniest thing in the world. He laughed until his own tears almost came out. Then he stopped laughing and said, "I really didn't expect that I would come here to gamble my life, but someone would take another bet to negotiate with me." He stood up, cleaned up the papers on his desk, and went to akado's desk. The slightest contempt in his eyes turned into admiration: "I admire your ideal very much, and I yearn for the distant future you gave me, so I decided to stand on your side!" After that, he put the package on akado's desk, then turned and walked to the door. As he walked, he said, "I'll give those people an unexpected problem, of course, after this election - this is my thanks to you for promising me to join. I'd love to see where you're going and where you're going to let me go. " Akado got up and said, "don't worry, I won't let you down." The parliamentary election was held as scheduled without any delay. The great German Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Nazi Party and * all put forward their greatest strength to compete for seats in the parliament. According to the public opinion survey, the number of people who support the great German Party is still the largest. Unfortunately, the number is less than half of the total number of voters. A few days before the election, the propaganda offensive of the greater German Party was surging higher and higher. With economic advantages, they could use almost unlimited resources, with slogans all over the sky and posters all over the streets, which made the whole Berlin look different. No matter what kind of contest, the final result must be separated. After repeated statistics and verification, the result of the vote is still fresh. The Social Democratic Party, which has made no achievements in the economic crisis, has not won many votes. It is obvious that they have not yet rallied from the last defeat, so they are still in a daze in this battle for Congress* They also didn't get the support of the majority of voters. They won almost the same seats as the Social Democratic Party. Therefore, these two parties can be regarded as the brothers of this parliamentary election. Of course, the Nazi party is better than the two parties. The power of Parliament controlled by Hitler has been greatly improved. Although the Nazi party is still not as good as the parliamentary seats won by the great German Party in the election campaign, they have achieved their strategic goal of controlling the overwhelming advantage of the great German party. The biggest winner, or the biggest loser, in this parliamentary election is akkado's great German Party, which won 47% of the seats in the whole Parliament, which is unprecedented. However, they failed to achieve the strategic goal of more than half of the seats, so only a few people, such as akado, knew that they had lost or not won this election. The speaker of Congress solemnly announced in a solemn atmosphere that akado? General Rudolph became the German prime minister and exercised his due authority. Once akkado put his hand on the Bible and took the oath, he could succeed stresman as the new German prime minister.
