The captain of the gendarmerie at the head saw Leon walking off the plane, raised his leg and walked towards Leon, and stood up and saluted: "Sorry, Colonel Leon, please hand over your gun, and then go to the war department with us." ”

Lyons untied his belt and handed it into the hands of the gendarmes, then walked up to Sophia in the eyes of everyone, bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "If you want to know why I would rather shoot that officer than stick to that seemingly traitorous decision, go to the outskirts and find Lieutenant Colonel Gust and ask him to come to the War Department to meet me, I think you must know him." With that, Leon followed the gendarmes into the city of Berlin.

Lieutenant General Strauss was already waiting in Lyon's office, and when he saw Lyon coming in with the gendarmes, he waved his hand and signaled the gendarmes to stand down. Then he angrily yelled at Leon: "Bastard! Why did you sign such an agreement with the Soviet Union without authorization? Do you understand how much money it costs us to have such a huge rail network? You also shot a major, you are treason! ”

Leon was not angry, looked into the eyes of Lieutenant General Strauss and said: "Lieutenant General, I made this decision on the basis of the interests of the country, and in order to develop the Air Force, we can only cooperate with the Soviet Union." ”

Lieutenant General Strauss shook his head: "You are doing this for yourself!" I shouldn't have brought you to the War Department in the first place, but I still have a chance to remedy this mistake, gendarmerie! Bring Leon down, and tomorrow I will personally take him to a court-martial!" ”

But no one responded outside the door, and Lieutenant General Strauss shouted again in confusion: "Gendarme! Come in and take Leon away! ”

As soon as Lieutenant General Strauss finished speaking, the door was pushed open, but it was not the gendarmes who walked in, but Guderian, Rommel and Gust, who came in and saluted Leon: "Hello! Sir! ”

Leon smiled and saluted the three of them in return, "Hello! Then he smiled and said to Lieutenant General Strauss: "Mr. Lieutenant General, I'm afraid your gendarmes have all been disarmed." ”

Lieutenant General Strauss sat down in his chair weakly and muttered, "How come? How will you have the opportunity to inform them? ”

Leon smiled when he heard this, and said, "Thanks to the 'undercover' Miss Sophia you sent to me, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to inform my troops." ”

Lieutenant General Strauss's face was full of disbelief: "How do you know that Sophia was sent by me to spy on you?!" How could Sophia listen to your orders? ”

Leon laughed: "Sophia is not a qualified undercover agent, she is too emotional, and she will pass orders for me is my guess, obviously, I guessed right." ”

Lieutenant General Strauss bowed his head in resignation, but then raised his head angrily: "I can lose, but Germany must not be destroyed in your hands!" ”

Leon sighed and said: "You still don't understand the direction of the development of the war, the future war is no longer a hedge for infantry, and even having an absolute number of tanks will not bring victory, but whoever occupies air supremacy will win half." ”

Guderian and others on the side were worthy of being famous German generals, and they immediately understood the importance of air supremacy in the war, and they couldn't help but admire Lyon's foresight more and more.

Lieutenant General Strauss was stunned, then smiled wryly: "Okay, maybe you're right, but what about you on the Capitol?" Can you get Congress to agree to this agreement? ”

Leon replied: "Field Marshal Hindenburg on the side of the Reichstag will figure it out." ”

Lieutenant General Strauss looked directly at Lyon and said: "It turns out that you have already arranged everything, and you even pulled the marshal into the chariot. ”

Leon nodded: "I have been in contact with the marshal for a long time, but I only thought about cooperation with the Soviet Union yesterday, and I only informed him yesterday that in exchange for his support for me, Porsche and I will fully support his election for the next president." ”

Yes, another telegram sent yesterday from Lyon was addressed to Marshal Hindenburg.

Lieutenant General Strauss lowered his head: "You win, kill or chop whatever you want." ”

Leon waved his hand: "No, why should I kill you?" After all, it was you who brought me into the War Department, I have the opportunity to stand here, I just need you to sign this agreement, and then hand over the power in your hands, you are still Lieutenant General Strauss, of course, you can refuse, but I can't guarantee your life. With that, he put a copy of the agreement he had with him in front of Lieutenant General Strauss.

"Do I have a choice?" Lieutenant General Strauss said with a wry smile, and then signed his name on the seemingly traitorous agreement.

"You were cultivated by me, I understand your ability, although I don't understand why you suddenly signed such an agreement with the Soviet Union, but maybe I don't have enough vision." Lieutenant General Strauss paused and continued: "Whether you are doing it for yourself or really for the Wehrmacht, I want you to treat this army well. I'm too old to see the road ahead, and the future will be handed over to you! ”

Leon looked at Lieutenant General Strauss's graying sideburns, and realized that the general who had always dominated Germany was old.

When we first met four years ago, Lieutenant General Strauss was already very old, and he had exhausted himself for the Wehrmacht for four years. Leon stood up for a standard German military salute and said seriously: "You are a great man and deserve the respect of all of us!" But sorry, what the Wehrmacht needs is a bolder leader. ”

Lieutenant General Strauss stood up and returned a military salute: "I have handed over the Wehrmacht to you, please treat it well." The old man, who had dedicated himself to the Wehrmacht, trembled his lips and continued with a little pleading: "Also, please treat Sophia well, she is my daughter." She doesn't have a mother, I haven't been with her well since I was a child, and I beg you as an old father not to embarrass her. ”

Leon's heart was like a bolt from the blue, he really didn't expect that Sophia would be Strauss's daughter, and he always thought that Sophia and the general had the same surname as an accident. But what father would use his daughter as bait?

Lieutenant General Strauss looked at Leon's strange expression, guessed what Leon was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "You don't think Sophia was sent by me to seduce you, right?" Sophia was sent by me as an undercover agent, but I never thought of using my daughter to woo you. ”

Leon finally understood why Sophia was so far-fetched in her temptation when she heard this explanation, she blushed as soon as she teased her, it turned out that people were not the bait she thought were at all, and the reason why she tempted Leon was all out of the girl's mischievous mentality.

Leon didn't dare to look at Lieutenant General Strauss anymore, not only did he think crookedly, but he also kept molesting other people's daughters, if Lieutenant General Strauss knew, I'm afraid he would kill me, right?

Lieutenant General Strauss looked at Leon's dodging gaze, and gradually some bad feelings came to his mind, and he hurriedly said, "What happened to Sophia?" Why do you have this expression when I say Sophia is my daughter? Could it be ......"

When Leon heard this, he immediately waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I guessed that she was your daughter haha...... I still have something to go to see Field Marshal Hindenburg, so I'll go first. After saying that, he hurriedly ran away with Guderian and others and a group of soldiers.

Lieutenant General Strauss looked at the backs of Leon and the others as they drifted away, and sat silently in his chair, the sunset outside the window reflected in his boundless loneliness.

Young people always climb up by stepping on the corpses of their ancestors.
