"This special military meeting is an important meeting chaired by the Ministry of National Defense, personally supervised by Mr. President, and attended by the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the heads of the main departments in Berlin." After Brauchitsch finished speaking, he looked at Eric, and after receiving tacit approval, he announced loudly: "Now I invite the Minister of the Presidential Office to talk about the central topic of today's meeting." ”

Max straightened his clothes and stood in place to recount the details of Toth and the others' plot against the verdict.

"Everyone, I will analyze the current situation first, and then let everyone here discuss it." Brauchitsch picked up a long pole "At present, the hidden dangers of Berlin and Potsdam have been eliminated, but the situation in the east is not optimistic, we now call the Prey von Henrik station Area A, the district has only a part of the ground service of the Air Force, and it is not a big problem, but this B Area is armed with two reinforced regiments, very well armed, and it is also a place where the Air Force Logistics Director Rudolf von Ruppcht has been studying for a long time......"

Brauchitsch walked to the large map on the wall as he spoke, and pointed to the A and B districts with a marker, saying: "Both areas are very closely related to Thoth and his family, and a powerful interest group has formed in the east, and tomorrow, on the evening of the 9th of this month, it is possible that the forces A and B will assemble in Area A and move west along the banks of the Spree River, so we must encircle them before they reach the periphery of Berlin......"

As soon as Brauchitsch had finished speaking, Rundstedt stood up and said: "Henrik is an extremely cunning fellow, and he acts very carefully, and now he thinks that this operation is very secretive, so we must also quietly set up an ambush along the Spree River to meet them without causing social chaos, and the key question is how we can cooperate with Henrik in this play without alarming the people of the country." ”

Rundstedt's remarks caused everyone to laugh, and then Brauchitsch deployed one by one the "peaceful judgment" plan, which was mainly based on political attacks and supplemented by a certain unit of the First Army of the Army.

"In order not to cause domestic unrest, we can identify this operation as a live-fire exercise, codenamed 'Kuoqing Huanyu.'" Ultimately, Eric wanted to try not to cause bloodshed so as not to cause international public opinion.

"Is everyone clear about the deployment just now?" Brauchitsch asked aloud.

"The minister seems to have forgotten about the timing of the specific action." Many questioned it at the same time.

"The specific time of the operation will be notified at short notice, and from now on, you should not leave the presidential palace without permission until the 'equal judgment' is successfully concluded." Brauchitsch said.

"I want to solemnly emphasize one point" Eric looked around, and after everyone had quieted down, he said word by word, "In this operation, both the enemy and us are hidden, and basically will not cause disturbance to the people, in order to win over the vast number of local armed forces and air force brothers as much as possible, we have sent a total of eight battlefield propaganda teams with excellent work styles in this operation, and I hope that everyone will try to use the policy shouts as much as possible to inspire, and if you can, you must not shoot." However, Prey von Henrik and Rudolf von Ruppcht, together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, General Thoth, stirred up populism everywhere, turned enemies of the people, and caused a very bad impact, which must be resolutely cut off! ”

"Obey the President's Instructions! Resolutely cut off the first evil! All the military officers stood up in unison and took an oath to Eric.

Eric is refreshed and refreshed, compared to the day. In the past few years in office, the Toth issue has been on his mind, and if it can be successfully resolved this time, Germany's defense military will develop by leaps and bounds, which is what he is most looking forward to.

At this moment, Prey von Henrik was also destined to face a sleepless night, because with the secret posts and other security barriers that Toth had preset in the eastern region in his early years, his actions were much more high-profile, which could serve to inspire populism on the one hand, and morale on the other hand. Nominally, Henrik was also under the guise of a live-fire exercise, but the troops concealed the banners and rituals of the imperial period, and as soon as the troops stepped out of the River Spree, his true colors would be fully revealed

On 8 August, the local forces assembled and arrived at Area A, where Henrik had taken possession, under the leadership of Air Force Logistics Director Rudolf von Rupcht. The two forces came together, the crowd was surging, and the sound was huge, and Henrik asked the quartermaster to purchase a large number of pigs, sheep and fresh fruits in the local area, so that the troops could eat and drink to their heart's content, and gave an impassioned mobilization speech.

At nine o'clock in the evening of August 9, people who lacked entertainment went to sleep early. The eastern air base was brightly lit, hundreds of military trucks lined up neatly, and air force ground crews and civilian armed men from the east slowly drove out of the barracks and advanced westward along the gravel beaches on both sides of the Spree River.

Henrik sat in the military jeep, his eyes squinted with a complacent, as if he was enjoying the joy of the impending victory.

At the same time, a unit of the Wehrmacht's First Army, under the command of Rundstedt, entered the site of the Spree ambush at midnight, and they were ordered to besiege the local armed forces and air ground counter-forces led by Henrik.

According to reliable sources, Henrik's 10,000-odd men will be able to reach the open area of the first bay of the Spree River before dawn, where they will rest for a short time, and wait for the city's veterans to begin to besiege the presidential palace, and then the troops will change their banners and enter the city in a vain attempt to occupy the presidential palace and the state radio station at lightning speed.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of August 10, with the order of FBI Director Oliver and National Guard Commander Klug on the phone of the presidential palace, all of Henrik's underground personnel were captured and not exposed.

"Dear Mr. President, please take a step to speak, I have something important to report." FBI Director Oliver whispered to Eric.

"Let's go, go to the Transept Lounge." Eric guessed the seriousness of the problem. The two of them left everyone's sight one after the other.

At 4:30 a.m., Eric and Oliver came out of the ear room, and the conversation lasted more than half an hour. Max keenly noticed a hint of distress on Eric's face, but also some relief. In fact, Max had already guessed what was wrong, only all the truth was confirmed in Eric's face.

The first guns before the war achieved brilliant results, completely clearing the city of Berlin from all internal troubles. Eric swept the shadows from his face and was very happy to ask Ananta to arrange for the back kitchen to be prepared with food and drink, and he wanted to congratulate the military and political officials at all levels.

As the minutes ticked by, and all the combatants were in a state of extreme tension, Eric knew very well that if the army did not listen to the persuasion of the preaching team and followed Henrik with all his heart, it would inevitably be the most bloody conflict since the founding of the country. However, what should come will come, and he can only plan for the worst.

With more than an hour to go before dawn, Eric put down his glass and ordered Walter Amma, director of the Second Logistics Division of the Ministry of Defense, to send someone to connect the presidential palace with the live channel of the state radio station, and wait for the first bay of the Spree River to return the good news, and then he would use the morning news time to address the people of the country directly.

At this time, Brauchitsch approached Eric at the same time as the head of the military intelligence bureau, Earhart Cecil, and reported another extremely important situation.

Eric was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked. "Are all these people under control?"

"Report to Mr. President, plainclothes military police have put their official residences under strict control, and even if they are lucky enough to avoid surveillance, they will not be able to escape the city-wide net of the National Guard." "After dawn, we were going to secretly arrest these men on our way to work," said Earhart Cecil. ”

"Excellent! Be sure to minimize negative impacts. With that, Eric strode to the front desk.
