Chapter Eighty-Seven: Man Is Not a Sage
"Success?" Sitting on the hospital bed, Sickert asked lightly: "Do the French have any movements?" ”
Reinhardt nodded: "It worked, the French withdrew their vanguard. Now the whole of the Rhineland is back in the hands of the German army. ”
As if he had predicted that Reinhardt would succeed, there was no surprise on Sickert's face. He looked Reinhardt's eyes and said slowly, "Now, you can rest assured that you can boldly implement your next plan." Our Wehrmacht can finally be expanded in the name of justice. ”
The next step in Sickert's mouth was announced by Reinhardt half a year ago, and the Wehrmacht reintroduced the compulsory military system. In fact, it was Reinhardt's blatant confrontation with the Treaty of Versailles. According to this plan, Germany will expand by 36 divisions with a total of 500,000 men.
However, because the national consortium was afraid of causing a disaster, it intervened in all ways to stop it. Coupled with the fact that there were similar concerns in German political circles, the plan was not implemented immediately.
Today, the SS troops are stationed in the Rhineland without blood, and the French army has died down, making the Treaty of Versailles null and void. At such a time, it is already a sure thing that Germany will tear up this unfair treaty.
After sighing, Reinhardt frowned and said to Sickt: "It's a pity that at this critical moment of national rejuvenation, there are such a group of people who always think about their own interests and try to hold us back. ”
Sickert on the hospital bed shook his head and said helplessly: "In the last war, the Junkers secretly dominated the surrender of Germany. This time, again, they fear that the war will damage their hard-won vested interests. I really don't understand why these people can see the interests of the country more lightly than their petty profits........"
"Because they only remember their work as a businessman, but they forget that they are Germans!" Reinhardt squinted his eyes and said coldly, "I'll remind them of it." ”
............
In the Weill Grand Hotel in the center of Berlin, 7 of the prominent business magnates, representatives of the German Junkers chaebol, were released into the pigeons.......
"It's already 9 o'clock! We waited for that Reinhardt for 1 hour more! An elderly man was complaining in a manic tone that was not appropriate for his age.
"This so-called Führer, the shelf is really big." A middle-aged man who inherited the family business and became the chairman of a food company said in a cold tone: "In my life, I have always let others wait for me. Today is an exception, and it's my turn to wait for someone. ”
"What bullshit Führer, not paying attention to our opinion, sooner or later he will regret it. Originally, I was going to support him, but now I've changed my mind. A balding fat man vented in displeasure. As the chairman of a garment group, he was originally willing to make some profits by producing clothing for Reinhardt's newly expanded troops. However, Reinhardt clearly did not take the opportunity he handed over.
...........
At 10:30 a.m., a man in a high-end suit stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in front of the Will Hotel.
"Almost," the man looked at his watch.
Then, in the shadows behind the black sedan, a more high-end Mercedes-Benz sedan drove out. The next person to get out of the car was the Führer, Reinhardt, who was almost universally known in Germany.
Having just caught up on a short sleep, Reinhardt was in much better spirits than when he came out of the hospital. He had been through so much in one day.
During the day, Reinhardt anxiously waited for the situation to come to light. After receiving information that the French army did not have any counterattack movements, Reinhardt, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly held a celebration speech, and the good news of the German army's entry into the Rhineland was broadcast throughout the country.
In the evening, Reinhardt, who had seized the time to communicate with Manstein, was overwhelmed by Sickert's sudden illness.
Now, Sickert's condition has been brought under control, and although his physical condition is not good, he should be fine in the short term. And Reinhardt, exhausted, had to meet with important representatives of the Junker chaebol.
So it's not just the chairmen who are left hanging out in the Will Hotel who are upset. Reinhardt, who didn't have a good rest, was also angry, and he even secretly carried a handful of exquisite Ruger P08 in his arms.
As soon as Reinhardt entered the hotel, he had just received the news that the merchants who were about to leave had to stay again. By the time Reinhardt walked into a large room on the second floor of the hotel, which was used as a conference room, none of the businessmen had a good face.
"Didn't you all sleep well? The face is not very good-looking. Reinhardt asked knowingly in surprise, "What's going on?" ”
"Yuan Xiansheng was 2 hours late," said the bald fat man who had been complaining before with a dark face, "And I just heard that someone brought us a message saying 'fuck it'." ”
Hearing that the Gestapo really said a word of his own anger, he brought it here as it was. Reinhardt's expression was a little surprised, the Germans really have such a rigid scripture?!
Waving his hand, Reinhardt smiled heartily: "Who hasn't been arrogant, it's nothing for young people to talk nonsense, just pay attention next time." Brother I am in charge of this matter, don't pursue it. ”
You're in charge?! Why do you decide? The bald fat chairman immediately reacted: "Wait, Yuan Xiansheng seems to have diverted the topic, and this is not the issue we just discussed." Moreover, I would like to ask why the first birthday of the prime minister, as the prime minister of a country, was late. ”
Hearing why this fat man didn't give himself face, Reinhardt rolled his eyes and said, "What, you called me here today to discuss why I'm late?" ”
The bald fat chairman was stunned for a moment, and said stiffly: "This is not our purpose of looking for Yuan Xiansheng, but I think it is necessary for the head of state to explain the reason." ”
"That's right, all of you here are leading figures in the domestic business community. Yuan Xiansheng is also the prime minister of a country, and I think it is necessary to give us an explanation for Yuan Xiansheng's mistake. The middle-aged man who was pampered and relied on inheriting the family business to get to this position followed suit.
For the provocation of these two idiots, not only Reinhardt was displeased, but several other calm chairmen also frowned. Chasing Reinhardt's late arrival at such a time obviously did not benefit any in the subsequent negotiations. Since everyone is on the same side at the moment, several businessmen who have opinions did not attack in public, but kept praying that the two idiots would not continue to provoke.
"yes, I'm late." Reinhardt didn't bother to spare the bend and bluntly stated the fact that he was late.
Just when several businessmen thought that Reinhardt was looking for a so-called reason, they saw Reinhardt smile slyly: "I did it on purpose." ”
At this time, downstairs of the Will Hotel, more than 20 taels of black cars had been parked. The entire hotel is also full of members of the Gestapo.
The seven Junkers chaebol chairmen who gathered here were soon surprised to find that Reinhardt had been ready to tear his face from the beginning!
