When Leon left the War Department, he let Guderian and the others leave with the soldiers first, while he went to Marshal Hindenburg's residence.

Although Lieutenant General Strauss had promised that he would hand over all the power in his hands, it was Lieutenant General Strauss's resignation that would cause many problems that had been forcibly suppressed by Lieutenant General Strauss's prestige to erupt.

After all, except for some young Zhuang officers in the Wehrmacht, most of the senior officers were old aristocrats, and they would not be so easily submissive to Lyon.

In addition to discussing how to get the Reichstag to pass the Soviet-German secret agreement just signed by Lieutenant General Strauss, Leon now visited Field Marshal Hindenburg with the purpose of discussing how to get the Reichstag to pass the Soviet-German secret agreement that Lieutenant General Strauss had just signed, and also intended to use Field Marshal Hindenburg's influence in the army to give him enough time to purge those who would not follow him.

Leon had been here many times, and the guards at the gate saw that it was Leon and let Leon into the villa.

Field Marshal Hindenburg nervously walked around the study, he was waiting for news from Lyon.

The door was pushed open, Marshal Hindenburg hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Leon, he smiled: "Colonel Leon, have you dealt with that bastard of Strauss?" ”

When Leon heard Field Marshal Hindenburg call Lieutenant General Strauss a "bastard", he couldn't help frowning and said lightly: "Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant General Strauss has signed the agreement and promised to transfer all power in his hands to me. ”

Field Marshal Hindenburg exclaimed excitedly, since he was preparing to run for president, the Wehrmacht has gradually been out of his control, this Strauss is even more unscrupulous to expand his power, and he has said more than once that he does not trust the Social Democratic Party that supports Field Marshal Hindenburg, sooner or later Strauss will use the Wehrmacht that has always belonged to him against me, and now that this problem is solved, I will become the president of Germany! Field Marshal Hindenburg thought happily.

Leon looked at Field Marshal Hindenburg's face full of excitement, and never mentioned how to persuade Congress to pass the Soviet-German agreement, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "Marshal, you haven't said how we should get Congress to pass the agreement. ”

Field Marshal Hindenburg sorted out his emotions when he heard this, and asked Leon solemnly: "You will support me to become president, right?" ”

Leon saluted: "Of course, Marshal, no, Mr. President, the Wehrmacht will firmly support you as the next President of the Weimar Republic." ”

Lyon's call to the president made Hindenburg feel comfortable, but it also made him no longer able to bear the urgency of becoming a real president, and ordered Lyon: "Colonel Lyon, no, from now on you are a general, Major General Lyon, from now on you are the new chief of operations of the Wehrmacht, and the armament department will be promoted to the armament department, and the minister is still you." ”

Leon frowned, it stands to reason that although Leon will become the new leader of the Wehrmacht, the real position of Chief of Operations should be taken back by Field Marshal Hindenburg and he will concurrently serve as himself, but now he has appointed me as Chief of Operations, which doesn't make sense?

Hindenburg quickly solved Leon's doubts: "The first thing you did when you took office was to set up a special task force to force Albert to give me the presidency!" ”

Leon was taken aback, the charge of forcibly forcing the president to step down was uncomfortable, and if exposed to the public eye, he could never recover. So Leon hurriedly persuaded: "Marshal, this is dangerous!" If it's exposed, we're all going to be finished! ”

Hindenburg threatened Leon by saying: "No, this method must be carried out!" I can't wait. And your agreement can only be passed by Congress if I become president! Otherwise, it will never be implemented! ”

Leon was furious in his heart, this is obviously to use himself as a scapegoat, if he succeeds, it is Hindenburg who will benefit, and if he fails, he will be judged!

But Leon had no choice, only Hindenburg became the president of his own plan to implement, Leon could only nod aggrievedly, turn around and leave the villa.

Sophia, on the other side, didn't dare to face her father, because she betrayed him and conveyed orders for Leon, so after informing Guderian and the others, she did not go to the war department with them, but hid in Leon's house and waited for Leon to come back and give herself an explanation.

It was already completely dark, and Sophia glanced in disappointment at the street that had long been devoid of pedestrians. Leon probably won't be back today, Sophia thought to herself.

"Squeak~" Sophia was just about to stand up and leave, when she heard the door be pushed open, and Leon, who was full of tiredness, walked in.

"Sophia? How did you end up here? Leon asked, looking at Sophia in surprise.

"You promised to give me an explanation why you killed that officer?" Sophia's eyes revealed a look of grievance, Sophia didn't believe that Leon would shoot someone for no reason, although she didn't have a long contact with Leon, but I don't know when she started to trust Leon completely, and even betrayed her father.

Leon was silent for a moment, then said, "Sophia, if I hadn't killed him at that time, we wouldn't have been able to get out of that door. ”

Sophia looked at Leon in shock and asked incredulously, "How is that possible?" Why is this happening? ”

Leon sneered and said, "Hmph, those Soviets have already revealed what they mean - as long as the price is right, they will cooperate with us!" If we had shown our repentance at that time, they would have killed us without hesitation. After a pause, Leon continued: "Because if they let us go, and we reveal that they are willing to help us break the Treaty of Versailles, it will undoubtedly make the Soviet Union, which was already excluded by all the countries, even worse. ”

Sophia said angrily: "We won't say it again, and it's not good for us!" ”

Leon shook his head: "No, nothing is absolute. There is only one kind of person in the world who does not reveal secrets, and that is the dead. And compared to their country, our delegation, whose highest rank is no more than colonel, is clearly worth the sacrifice. Leon paused for a moment, then continued: "So in order to express our determination, I have no choice but to kill the officer who is openly opposed to this plan. His death was worthwhile, that is, it strengthened the resolve of the Soviet side and ensured the safety of others. ”

After listening to the explanation, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, but as if she had thought of something, she asked nervously: "By the way, why did Guderian and they come to see you with so many soldiers?" ”

Leon couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the girl in front of him was silly and cute, I am afraid that he didn't know that there had been a great change in the Wehrmacht, and her father had given all the power in his hands to himself, and all this was because she stupidly reported to herself.

After carefully considering the language, Leon smiled and said, "Because your father is going to kill me, and Guderian is here to protect me." ”

Sophia's face turned pale and she said, "How do you know that General Strauss is my father?" ”

"I didn't know, but I talked to your father for a long time today, and he told me everything." Leon said.

"Then you know I've been sent to spy on you?" Sophia looked confused, she didn't know that she cared about her image in Leon's heart.

"Well, I already knew you were undercover." Leon scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Don't be angry when I say that, in fact, you are not suitable to be an undercover agent." ”

Sophia's face turned red, but she was obviously not angry: "Okay, okay, I know I can't act." I studied a foreign language in college, so I can't spy on others, what can I do? I'm desperate too, who told me dad that he only trusts his daughter in this regard? ”

Leon smiled awkwardly and ended the topic: "Ahem, it's so late, how do you go back?" Why don't you stay with me? ”

"Don't think about it! I called the driver to pick me up. Sophia slashed her eyes viciously, and then she was a little embarrassed: "Can you accompany me to the street and wait for the driver?" I'm a little afraid of the dark......"

Leon smiled and nodded. There was no one on the dark street except for Leon, who were thinking about their own thoughts and did not say a word.

I don't know how long later, a black sedan stopped in front of the two of them, waking up the two who were pondering, and the driver opened the door and stood aside waiting for his young lady to get into the car.

Sophia came back to her senses and was about to get into the car, when she suddenly gritted her teeth and turned back to Leon: "Hey, Mr. Colonel, do you hate me?" I've been spying on you for so long. ”

Leon thought for a moment and said with a smile: "How come? You're so cute. Also, I'm a major general now! ”

Sophia happily got into the car and told the driver to leave quickly.

The driver looked back at his young lady from time to time in surprise while driving, he had never seen Sophia so shy, and the Sophia he remembered rarely smiled due to family reasons, let alone such a shy face. The driver couldn't help but wonder: Who was that young man just now, who could provoke the young lady to be so rosy? Suddenly, the driver's pupils shrank, and he remembered what the young man said just now, he was not a colonel, but a major general! A major general who is at most in his 20s!
