Chapter 27

1923 was a disastrous year for Germany. In this year, Germany seemed to be in trouble everywhere from the beginning.

First of all, the French invasion of Ruhr Industrial Zone led to the almost cessation of production in the whole German heavy industrial zone. The revitalization plan of the national defense forces was seriously frustrated, which also made Germany's collapsed economy worse.

The Deutschmark began to depreciate sharply, and the degree of devaluation was shocking. When German President Albert reacts, a wheelbarrow of Deutschmark can just buy a loaf of bread.

Taking advantage of the financial crisis and France's sending troops to Ruhr Industrial Zone, the right-wing separatists in Germany jumped out. They organized strikes and even armed riots, plotting to seize Bavaria, a large southern German state, and let the whole Bavaria autonomous.

The German government is in a mess and has not yet mobilized forces to suppress the right-wing separatists in Bavaria. The more serious situation makes the situation of the German government led by Albert even worse.

In September, just as the right-wing separatists became more and more violent, the left-wing began to create large-scale riots and shake the rule of Thuringia and Saxony. For a time, it seemed that Germany would be divided into several small countries. The turbulence caused by France's invasion of Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany seemed to be better than France expected.

"This is a good opportunity!" In his office, Mr. hickett praised Mr. akado sitting on the sofa: "your plan is perfect! It is true that the national defense forces will get more benefits by staying still than by fighting against the French invasion. "

With these words, hickett asked akado to leave the office, because in the morning, the national defense forces will hold a meeting to discuss again how to deal with the crisis of French invasion of Ruhr. The meeting was personally presided over by Hindenburg, which was very important.

Of course, the senior members attending the meeting are all generals, so there is no chance for a small role like akkado to attend. Although his work is very important and irreplaceable, the gap in rank and the defects in qualifications make him unable to attend many high-level meetings. He can only get a copy of the minutes of these meetings from hickett.

Now, hickett is very satisfied with the stand still policy adopted by the national defense forces during the French invasion of Ruhr, although he once clamored to protect German cities with the blood of the national defense forces. But now the city has been handed over, and hickett has not ordered the national defense forces to carry out any action against France.

The benefits are obvious. Lieutenant Colonel Smith, the British military attache stationed in the general headquarters of the national defense forces, secretly met with general hickett. He implicitly expressed the British's intention of allowing the German to slightly expand the national defense forces, indicating the basic position of Britain in supporting Germany in the Ruhr Industrial Zone crisis.

In the subsequent specific meeting, Smith also made a commitment to akkado to ensure that Britain would support the IDF to possess more machine guns and automatic weapons to resist possible domestic and French invasion. That is to say, the British in the coalition arms control committee will turn a blind eye to the expansion of the national defense forces and support Germany's covert military expansion in disguised form.

The U.S. ambassador to France made solemn representations, demanding that France immediately withdraw all its troops from German territory and stop its crazy act of invading neighboring countries. The Netherlands has always maintained friendly relations with Germany, so it also condemned France in this crisis.

In the Far East of Asia, Guangzhou, China, Sun Yat Sen, the leader of the newly reorganized Chinese Kuomintang, issued a statement condemning the French invasion of Germany and expressing his support for the German people's anti invasion struggle.

"700 howitzers, 10000 Markham heavy machine guns, 200000 rifles and 4 million bullets. Our Chinese friends in the Far East finally got on board." Akado looked at the newspaper and said with a smile.

"And, of course, they owe the United States about $300 million in loans. This loan made the United States more firmly control the Chinese revolutionary forces. I helped China hold the American thighs ahead of time, and gave them weapons and equipment. I think Chiang Kai Shek will have more confidence in the coming Central Plains war? " Akado sipped his coffee and put down the newspaper.

He looked out of the window. The streets were full of marchers. People chanted slogans and walked past the gate of the general headquarters of the national defense forces. The slogans were smeared with red paint and looked bloody. The banner said, "asshole government! There is no defense! Get out of Berlin

"Geer! "Geer Akado leaned against the lattice of the window and called out to his assistant, "has the parade been going on outside for three days?"

Geer walked into akado's office, nodded and said, "yes, it's been almost three days. And more and more people! It seems that the pressure on the government side is not small. "

"Do you know why these people don't come to the defense forces headquarters to March here?" Akado asked with a smile, without looking back.

Geer Leng Leng, and then some helpless said: "we are too weak, simply can not resist the invasion of the enemy! So no one blames us. "

"Weak? Can't resist? no Geer, we have 200 cannons hidden in the secret base in the Alps. All the troops are almost two times overstaffed. The invading French army has only one division. We are fully capable of destroying it. "

"Well, then why don't we fight back? Why don't you get rid of those damned Frenchmen? " Geer was a little shocked. Although he did a lot of things with akkado, he had no way to know how armed Germany was“ Because once the national defense forces enter the war, our combat effectiveness will be found, the world will stand on the side of France, the arms control over Germany will never be lifted, and the shackles of Germany, the Treaty of Versailles, will always exist. " Akado explained. He wanted to find a reason to convince himself, so he had to tell some military secrets to gerl. He was under too much pressure and needed to be shared. He worked hard to run the national defense forces, but he could not fire a gun when the enemy invaded. In order to develop and grow in the future, he must take the lead in giving up the oath when he joined the army and violating the sentence "defend his country with his own blood." There was no resistance, no bloodshed, no sweat“ Adults always have their reasons, but we just want to be loyal to our country once. " "The last time we lost, we didn't know what we were going to do," he said with red eyes! This time we have the ability to fight back, why do we watch those bastards harm our homeland? "“ We can win this war, but we are doomed not to win the next one! Let's gamble once with Germany's hundred years of national fortune to make you loyal to your duty? " Akkado looked at Lieutenant Geer angrily: "I work so hard! Isn't that why we can't let the enemy ride on our heads and shit in the future? "“ I'm sorry! Commander akado! I know your efforts! So please tell me, when can we defend our own country? " Gore stands at attention“ Give me five years, and in five years you will see the answer. Lieutenant Gell! If you can't see hope in five years, please smash my head with a gun, because I swore that I would give my life to defend our country, but at least today, I didn't do it. " Akado said bitterly“ Commander! I believe you! In these five years, you will be my loyal master! I will do everything for you "I hope you can make Germany strong again," said gerr solemnly The next morning, hickett asked Lieutenant grace to call him to his office. He drank coffee and said to him, "just now, Albert called on behalf of his government and invited me to a special meeting."“ You just go. It's time for them to compromise. " Said akado, squinting his eyes and raising the corner of his mouth. He finally waited until the moment when the national defense forces really rose“ Recently, there is a very interesting saying that the German defense forces have two Guts: the military guts depend on sikhter, and the literary guts are akkado. " Hickory looked at the low browed and obedient acardo, with a smile and tears on his face. He was in a good mood: "you have been mentioned as high as me, so I'm really sorry to leave you here alone." Sikert picked up the paper on the desk, said with a smile, "come on! Just let you, the courage of the national defense forces, give me some advice and see what the fools in the government want to talk to us about! " When acardo walked into the conference room of the government building with hickory, Albert was surrounded by several politicians, saying something. The current political situation is a mess, and no one has any hope for the current government. However, as officials at all levels of this government, they still hope to turn the tide and keep their status and power. President Ebert was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. He never thought that the situation would deteriorate to the present level. When he saw hickory and akkado coming in, he immediately pushed away the crowd around him and came to Hickory“ The Deutsche Mark began to depreciate significantly, and the situation was very bad. Right wing separatists conspired to seize the ruling power of Bavaria, a big state in southern Germany; Left wing elements also began to create large-scale riots and shake the rule of Thuringia and Saxony. " Albert gave a brief account of the situation, looking desperate. Hickory stood there and didn't speak. Akkado had to come forward to play the image of hickory: "these national defense forces already know! Mr President, it's really bad. So what do you want us to do? "“ I just want to know, which side is the IDF on now? Will you stand with us? Your excellency? " Albert asked hickett in a supplication tone“ Your excellency, the IDF is on the side of general hickett. " Before hickett could speak, akado said with a smile.
