Hans Luther had been mayor of Essen in 1918, so he was good friends with Gustav, who had been invited by Gustav when the Popular Will Party was first founded. However, he joined the People's Will not entirely because of Gustav, but because he understood the potential and strength of the People's Will Party.

Lyon was very pleased with his accession, and with him the Popular Will Party could reach a new level of strength, as Hans Luther had just taken over from Vilheim as the new Chancellor of the Weimar Republic in February.

When they saw that Lyon had introduced them to the Prime Minister, they were excited, and they may not have thought that the People's Will Party would be able to catch up with the SPD in a short time, but now that they have the support of Luther, this goal may not be impossible to achieve.

Leon was relieved to see that the originally dull scene was enlivened by Luther's joining, and thought to himself, if it wasn't for Luther's joining, I'm afraid no one would believe in my plan.

The first meeting had a great time, during which everyone roughly decided on important things such as future goals and party rules.

After the party, Gustav led the crowd to a hotel that had been emptied of all guests in advance, and which belonged to a Jewish capitalist in the hotel industry in the party. There are a large number of Gestapo surreptitiously around the hotel to prevent and guarantee their absolute safety.

Instead of being with them, Leon returned with Ludwig to the small building where he lived.

"General, do you need me to arrange for someone to visit you who didn't choose to support you?" Ludwig asked respectfully, standing behind Leon. In his mind, Leon was God, and Ludwig was angry that someone dared to disobey his god.

"No, we can't force it if we don't want to join us, otherwise what's the difference with plunder?" Leon said lightly, "They will realize our strength one day, and when the time comes, let them join us willingly, so that it is in the interests of all of us." ”

"Understood, what about the people in our party?" Ludwig continued, "Do you need me to send someone to spy on them?" ”

Leon pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, arrange for some people to spy on them." Ludwig, you know, sometimes the people around you are more threatening than the enemy. ”

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements." Ludwig answered, wanting to leave the room and arrange for manpower.

"Wait, that unit, how's it going?" Leon called out to Ludwig and asked.

Ludwig's body trembled when he heard this, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and then his attitude became more respectful: "Everything is on normal track, and it is going very well. ”

"Well, you're doing a great job, I'll go check them out this weekend." Leon waved his hand and motioned for Ludwig to go.

Ludwig wiped some cold sweat from his head and exited the room.

If there were other people here, most of them would cry out in shock when they saw Ludwig's appearance just now, and the people who created the black terror with their own hands would also be terrified?

It has been almost two years since Armand left the IDF. After the Battle of Munich two years ago, he received a top order from the War Department.

Armand was not surprised by his transfer, because Manstein, General Lyon's confidant, had told him that he would advise General Lyon to transfer him to a suitable position when he returned.

Therefore, he was very happy after receiving the order, and firmly believed that he could most likely realize his dream and enter the armored unit to become an armored soldier under Manstein - after all, he saved Manstein.

But when he opened the letter of appointment with joy, he could not laugh, because the letter did not let him report to the armored forces, but to the Berlin police station, to report to Ludwig Schroeder. Moreover, there is also a resignation application written by him "by hand" to voluntarily leave the army, with two big words printed on it - "agree".

Armand broke down at the time, why was I transferred to the police station? Also, when did I write my resignation request? How come I don't know it myself?

Calming down, Armand felt that the general must have made a mistake, otherwise why did he leave the army instead of going to the armored forces after Manstein's introduction?

So he went to the regiment headquarters with this order and asked the regiment commander.

When he arrived at the regimental headquarters, Armand knocked on the door of the regimental commander's office, and after obtaining permission, he walked in and asked the regimental commander, who was reading the newspaper: "Regimental commander, why did I leave the army?" I was also transferred to the Berlin police station, I wanted to fight, I didn't want to catch thieves. ”

"I'm sorry, Armand. I don't know, your order was issued directly by General Leon, and I am not qualified to know. The head of the regiment put down the newspaper and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know.

"Oh, shit!" Armand was a little frustrated, "And that Ludwig, that's a sissy when you hear the name!" I hate sissies! ”

"What?" The regiment commander's eyes widened when he heard the name "Ludwig", "Ludwig?!" How did you mention that name? ”

"That's what the appointment says." Armand looked at the regiment commander suspiciously, not knowing why he reacted so violently, "The appointment said that I would report to him." ”

"Oh my God!" The regimental commander's open mouth could put down an egg, "You're going to report to Ludwig?!" Then he immediately said as if to himself, "Damn, damn!" I knew it, I knew that the general wouldn't waste a talent like you! Oh my God, Ludwig! ”

"Commander, who the hell is Ludwig? How can you react so violently? ”

"You don't understand, oh no, you're going to get it soon." The regiment commander calmed down, "I don't know if you've ever heard of the 'Gestapo' unit?" ”

Hearing this, Armand remembered the group of men in black who had taken Manstein last time, and nodded.

"Then you must know about the 'black terror' they spread." The regimental commander swallowed his saliva at this, "There are many of us in Germany who call them demons, because no one can escape from their strangulation list, and it is said that they have exceeded their quota every time they are ordered to carry out their tasks. And its commander is called Ludwig! ”

"Uh, the murder mission still has an excess?" Armand was a little speechless.

"Because they're not just killing the one on the task list, they're killing the whole family of the people on the list!" The head of the regiment shook his head, "The whole family! Men and women, young and old, as long as they are connected to the people on their task list, no one will live! ”

In fact, this point was passed on by the three of them into a tiger, no matter how ferocious the Gestapo was, they would not kill the whole family every time, but there were a few times when the family members of the traitors took up guns to resist, and the Gestapo who led the team ordered them all to be killed.

"I would never want to have anything to do with them if I could, even though they cleaned up batch after batch of crumbs." The head of the regiment looked at Armand and said, "As for you, Armand, it is a good place for you, and perhaps you will become the biggest demon in it." ”

Armand was somewhat convinced, as he had sensed a hint of blood from them the last time he had come into contact with the Gestapo.

And after listening to the introduction of the regiment leader, Armand suddenly felt that the name "Ludwig" seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
