"Chairman, I think you'd better give us an explanation." Carl Benz, the president of Mercedes-Benz, sat at the conference table and complained to Leon, "Your sudden emergency meeting made me turn off a business negotiation with General Motors, and God, I don't even know how many dollars I lost because of it!" ”

"Yes, Chairman, why is this meeting suddenly taking place?" Hans Luther also asked suspiciously.

Not only the two of them, but all the important figures of the People's Will Party postponed some meetings, big or small, rearranged their schedules and hurried here, just because of a word from the young man sitting at the head of the table.

"Guys, don't complain, this is an emergency." Leon knocked on the table slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, "Yesterday there was a clash between an infantry regiment stationed on the outskirts, and the two sides of the conflict were soldiers and their commanders. ”

"What does it matter to us if there is a conflict between the infantry regiments? You can't let us go to the rack, can you? Hearing that the "emergency" that cost him a lot of money was just an ordinary clash in the army made Carl Benz unhappy.

"Mr. Karl Benz, please don't be in a hurry." After reassuring his rich man, Leon continued, "The reason why an emergency meeting was convened for the sake of a conflict was because of our Popular Will Party. Some of the soldiers of this infantry regiment were about to join us, but his commander refused the request out of tradition, and unfortunately there was a little friction in the process, so the irascible lads beat their commander. ”

Those present were all intelligent men, and when they heard Leon explain what had happened, they understood the seriousness of the ideological problems in the troops, and they must know that German soldiers have always been known for their calmness, rigor, and high obedience.

"And it's not just that one infantry regiment." Leon said and motioned for his subordinates to carry a box full of letters, "This whole box is sent to me to apply for joining the party, and this box is only about one-tenth of the total, and they come from various units. ”

Hans Luther was silent for a moment, knowing too well that if the situation was allowed to continue to develop, the Wehrmacht would be completely divided into two factions, one that advocated the abolition of the tradition of not allowing soldiers to join political parties, and the other that insisted on sticking to tradition and not allowing soldiers to get involved in politics.

This will significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht.

"Chairman, what are your plans?" Hans Luther asked.

"I'm going to let the soldiers join the party, but their military status may have to change."

"You mean, to re-establish a unit with the status of the Wehrmacht?" Hans Luther asked, frowning.

"Yes, do you still think this meeting is pointless?" Leon smiled.

When everyone sitting heard this answer, their faces flushed with excitement, and they would soon have a unit of their own!

"So, what about the military expenses of this unit? Or is it from Congress? Carl Benz asked cautiously.

"That's the main reason why I called you all out of the blue." Lyon looked at everyone, "SS soldiers leave the Wehrmacht and are no longer under the command of the government, so the military expenses will not be paid by the government." This money has to be borne by everyone here! ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, they were all capitalists, and it was not so easy to get them to pay.

"I agree." Porsche's Porscher, BMW's Franz, Messerschmidt and Gustav were the first to raise their hands, with the first three companies already Lyon, and Gustav being a staunch supporter of Lyon. However, their statements have led many people to sway from side to side.

"I agree." MAN's Roysh also raised his hand.

"Okay, count me in." Carl Benz also raised his hand on behalf of BMW.

The other capitalists saw that several industrial giants voted in favor, and they also expressed their support one by one.

"Good." Leon laughed, "Then I declare that the SS will be officially formed, and the SS soldiers will begin tomorrow to go through the formalities of leaving the Wehrmacht, and then join the People's Will." In order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht would not be affected, the number of troops was temporarily limited to about 50,000, and the Wehrmacht launched a new round of conscription to fill the vacant gap. ”

In the days that followed, a large number of soldiers from all units of the Wehrmacht began to leave, all of whom were carefully selected to be absolutely loyal to the People's Will Party and to Lyon, while more soldiers who were full of yearning for the People's Will Party could only continue to be confined and stay in the barracks that restricted their thinking.

"Leon, what are you doing?!" When Hindenburg heard the news, he angrily threw away the cup in his hand and yelled angrily at his secretary, "He doesn't take me seriously, does he?" Those damn capitalists don't deserve me to have a president in Germany, right?! ”

"President, you take your breath." The secretary patted Hindenburg's shoulder comfortingly.

"How can I get angry, what kind of People's Will Party he created is enough for me to have a headache, and now he has built an SS army of 50,000 men, oh my God! Is there 500 people in my presidential guard?! Hindenburg trembled with anger, or rather with fear, and he remembered the cause of President Albert's death, "You go and call Lyon for me, I have to ask him what he wants to do!" ”

The secretary was also very afraid, and said in his belly, didn't you arrogantly say that the Wehrmacht was under your control and would not deal with you? Why are you speechless now that so many people support Lyon?

But he didn't dare to say it, or Hindenburg might shoot him in anger, so he had to go to Leon with trepidation.

"Oh, Mr. President Hindenburg, it's been a long time, the last time we met was at the signing ceremony of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, right?" Leon soon came to the president's office and greeted him with a smile.

"I wish we never met!" Hindenburg said with a straight face, "Tell me, what the hell do you want to do?" Did you steal my presidency? ”

"No, no, how could I take your place? I don't know anything about being president," Leon smiled and waved his hand, "I just don't want my troops to be divided." ”

"Perhaps." Hindenburg looked at Leon viciously, "Maybe I should take advantage of the fact that no one is next to you to kill you now, that's the safest thing." ”

Leon's smile did not diminish when he heard this, he got up from his seat, walked over to Hindenburg, leaned over and said, "I guess you won't." ”

"So sure I won't?" Hindenburg said coldly, as if he had really made up his mind to kill Leon.

But Leon's next words completely interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that the SS commander Ludwig is personally scattering around the presidential palace with 3,000 heavily armed SS troops, do you think they will use you and your presidential guard to train their hands?"
