CHAPTER XXV. President Albert
"Smack!" A thick stack of reports was slammed in front of Leon, "What are you going to do?" You are blatant persecution and plunder! The man in front of him vented his anger and fear.
"Oh, dear Mr. President, you can take a breath away, just a few minor problems." Leon said slowly to the man in front of him, yes, the man in front of him is the leader of Germany, the president of the Weimar Republic, Friedrich Albert.
Originally, as president, Albert should have been able to drink the red wine in the glass elegantly even if the mountain collapsed in front of him, and then face it with a smile, but at this time he was far away, he was yelling angrily at a young man with a thick neck and red eyes. But it's no wonder that he is so out of shape, the mountain is just a mountain when it collapses, and the young man in front of him has collapsed several financial empires in one day.
Where is the mountain compared to the previous country?
"You're going to let me take my breath? Yesterday, there were 4 billion-level groups, 11 tens of millions-level companies were seized and transferred, and hundreds of celebrities from all over the country disappeared for no reason. How are you going to calm me down?! Albert apparently did not think that what had happened yesterday was some "minor problem", and nearly 15 percent of the country's capital had changed its surname to Andrés, and even more serious than that their original owners might have died.
In fact, if an ordinary capitalist died, Albert would not have to panic so much, but those who died basically had the official background of Britain and France, which made Albert frightened.
"Mr. President, you probably know better than me the source of their funds, and you know what the missing individuals are doing behind them, so why are you making a big fuss? Shouldn't you be happy as a German? Leon frowned, he had thought before the action that the president might be furious, but he didn't expect him to rush straight to his office and roar regardless of his image.
This shows that the pressure on the British and French sides on the president is greater than expected.
"Of course I understand what they're doing, but the war is over! Germany now is not the Second Reich either! We are now walking on the international ice, and I have managed to mend our relations with England and France a little bit by virtue of these people's connections, but you have ruined me overnight! Who the hell gave you the power here?! Albert's expression was as if he was about to cry.
"Huh." Leon sneered and said disdainfully: "Just those scumbags, as long as they are German citizens, they have the right to execute them!" ”
"You ......," Albert was angry, "since you are so indifferent, then you will handle international relations!" Next, let's talk about why their assets were transferred to your name. ”
"No, no, no! I just take care of the money and the real estate, and when the time is right, I will hand it over to the government as a state-owned asset. Leon said earnestly, thinking to myself when the right time would come.
"Major General Lyon, the Wehrmacht will make mistakes again in your hands." Albert said: "We have already made a mistake once, and I will never allow the whole of Germany to be buried with you because of your personal ambitions!" ”
"Mr. President, are you a threat?" Leon said coldly. "No, no, no, this is just advice, I hope you will listen to it." After saying that, Albert slammed the door and left.
Leon stood by the window and watched Albert walk out of the war department, drifting into deep thought.
"Humph! Is this Lyon really able to control the entire Wehrmacht with Hindenburg's support! Back in the president's office, Albert still couldn't contain his anger and yelled at the secretary.
The secretary hurriedly responded humbly: "Mr. President, Major General Lyon is indeed excessive, but you must not hurt yourself because of him." ”
"Whew." Albert took a deep breath, thinking that he really couldn't hurt himself because of a bastard, and said, "You tell Lieutenant General Strauss and Major General Miller to see me, we have to find a way to stop Leon, this bastard is pushing Germany into the abyss!" ”
The secretary nodded and exited the president's office.
A short time later, Lieutenant General Strauss and Major General Miller gathered in Albert's office.
"I wonder what you're calling us for so late, Mr. President?" Lieutenant General Strauss was the first to speak.
"I wonder what you think of Major General Lyon? With the help of Field Marshal Hindenburg, he had already begun to purge the Wehrmacht of officers who disagreed with him. Albert looked at the two of them and said.
Major General Müller is the supreme commander of the Wehrmacht in Frankfurt, the full name of Frankfurt here is Frankfurt am Main, to distinguish it from the eastern German city of Frankfurt am Oder, it is an important industrial and commercial, financial and transportation center in Germany, and one of the most important exhibition cities in the world, holding exhibitions has a history of nearly 1,000 years, as early as the Middle Ages, it developed into a German department store, and led to the synchronous development of a series of local related industries.
Therefore, the Wehrmacht army stationed in Frankfurt has more than 6,200 people in two infantry regiments, which may not be worth mentioning in wartime, but in the Wehrmacht, which has a total number of only 100,000 people, these 6,200 people are a force to be reckoned with, and most of its junior officers are the same as Major General Miller, belonging to the doves in the Wehrmacht, competing with the hawks represented by Lyon, and it is precisely for this reason that Albert invited Major General Miller to participate in this secret meeting.
"I am also firmly opposed to the approach of Major General Lyon, who wants Germany to start another war." Major General Miller expressed his opinion.
Albert was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that Miller was on his side, and then he looked at Lieutenant General Strauss and said, "Mr. Lieutenant General, what do you think?" Lyon even forced you to resign as Minister of Operations. ”
Albert didn't worry about Lieutenant General Strauss going against him, because it was here that he had lost the most.
Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Strauss shook his head and said: "His recent actions have not killed innocent people, they are all liquidated people who betrayed their country." As for the military, I think I'm old, I'm retired, and I don't want to get involved in anything like that. ”
Albert was taken aback, but he didn't expect Lieutenant General Strauss, who had suffered the most losses, to object, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lieutenant General, he has done this to you, how can you still help him?" As long as you stand with us, I guarantee you to return to the position of Chief of Operations! ”
Strauss struggled a little when he heard this, but after a while he gave up: "Mr. President, I'm sorry, I don't think I can agree to your conditions, I'm too old to take such a risk anymore, let the young man's business be solved by the young man, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." After saying that, he turned to the door and said the last sentence: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about today, I won't help you, and I won't help Leon." ”
Albert looked at Strauss's departing back, gritted his teeth, and said to Miller: "Since he gave up, then we will do it ourselves, after Leon was thrown into prison, the chief of operations is you, Major General Miller!" ”
Miller smiled happily: "Good! We'll do it ourselves! Say, what do you want me to do? ”
The two of them began to discuss how to defeat Leon one by one, and then fell into the imagination of a better future.
But they didn't expect that Mr. President's most trusted secretary was sending a telegram to a mysterious person at the same time: The President had secretly met with Lieutenant General Strauss and Major General Müller, who was reporting in Berlin!
A new storm is coming to Germany.
