………………

The "Green Plan" was a post-war rescue plan headed by some bigwigs of the General Staff Headquarters, and it contained a lot of things, and the number of people involved increased from a dozen in 1917 to hundreds in 1918.

"Angry Birds" is a plan that Rich developed with several like-minded people. The core of the plan was to ensure that after the defeat of the Second Empire, a group led by Li Qi would be able to make a difference, in addition to operating and maintaining financial resources and assets, and at the same time carry out some political activities and some espionage operations.

Those involved in the Angry Birds project, with the exception of Litchie and Ewald. Feng. Kleist can be considered a household name, such as Kurt Kleist. Zeitzler, Maximilien. Feng. Weix, Erich. Feng. Manstein, Heinz. Guderian, William. Ritter. Feng. Loeb ...... And so on, some people have not yet shown their own heads.

In addition, with the exception of a handful of people who were involved in the development of Angry Birds, the rest of the participants were limited to the part they knew they were working on, and knew nothing else at all.

In fact, part of the Angry Birds project overlaps with the Green Plan. The main reason is that Li Qi knows that the "Green Plan" is very well formulated, but in fact, when it is the turn to implement it, the whole plan line will completely collapse if one link is wrong, resulting in the "Green Plan" only playing a very small role in the end.

Of course, Li Qi knew that the Air Force Department would be abolished in the end, and he did not think about transferring or something, and he gave up after careful consideration.

After the defeat of the Second German Reich, the victorious powers were so strict with the defeated countries that even some of the victorious powers could not see it, so one can imagine what kind of treaty it was.

Germany would face total repression after the defeat, and remaining in the Wehrmacht would mean being silent for at least a decade, and in many cases it would be difficult to do anything else as a soldier. This will not only be a victory over the supervision of various countries, but also related to the government formed by Germany after the defeat of the war, so it is much easier to do something as a civilian than to do it in an official capacity.

Being a soldier and doing something else? I think Germany is China in the Far East!

By the time of the Weimar Republic, there was a clear clause in the constitution that no serving soldier could participate in any political activities, and at the same time, government officials could not participate in the operation of private companies (neither had any interests), even Hindenburg had to retire before running for president, and some people from military backgrounds had to retire from the army if they wanted to become chancellors.

With the previous factors, unless Richie wants to do nothing for more than ten years (and can't do it), he can only temporarily take off his military uniform, and then he can engage in some careers without restrictions.

Regarding the retirement, Litchie has already informed Hans. Feng. Seckert and other familiar generals revealed some of the Angry Birds plans in a limited way.

Hans. Feng. Seckert has persuaded that an excellent soldier like Li Qi is more suitable for a military career and should not engage in any company or enterprise. Later, after a period of "alarmism" from Rich, he seemed to have "prophecies", that is, some of the harsh treatment that Germany would receive after its defeat, and finally persuaded Hans. Feng. Seckert.

Other generals, such as Otto, who was familiar to Richie. Feng. Bello and Marx. Feng. Galwitz, they agreed with what Richie wanted to do. In fact, Li Qi made so many preparations in advance, and he also got the help of these generals in many things, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly.

From 1916 to 1918, Li Qi finally built up his team, which may seem incomparably weaker now, but it will become incomparably stronger.

"Lieutenant Colonel, are we really going to retire?" Adolph. Hitler's face was full of reluctance: "I have been in service since 1914, and I have been in the trenches on the Western Front for more than two years, until I met you, I really did not think that there would be a day when I would return to the rear again." ”

Richie, of course, will pull Adolf. Hitler, and will take this "mustache" firmly with him. He is very aware of the energy of this "mustache", and he once thought that he might follow the "mustache" in the future, but since he has done so much and can correctly grasp the "pulse" of the times better than anyone else, why should he follow it? You should be the leader to do all that!

Adolph. Hitler would have been very useful to Rich, he had a strong ability to agitate and could have been a very good deputy. Moreover, he is actually very capable financially.

What Richie could not be certain of was that Adolf. Would Hitler be willing to be his deputy, if not...... Then don't really blame Richie for doing some tough measures.

So far, Adolf. Hitler still has a lot of respect for Rich, that is, Richie has a real performance on the battlefield, and in addition, Richie has been influencing Adolf with some concepts. Hitler. In some ways, Richie's ideas are actually Adolf. How could some of the ideas that Hitler would have put forward, but some of the issues were not so radical and more like a patriotic education?

Richie didn't say it explicitly, he looked at Adolf with a calm expression. Hitler, as if muttering, "Soon, soon." ”

It's fast, all sides are speeding up, the Second German Reich is sliding towards the abyss, because of the outbreak of the pandemic, the original bad people's livelihood is more like a "heavy blow", all kinds of movements can no longer be quelled or stopped simply by force of force.

By June 1918, some of the royal nobility were already seeking a new change, and they wanted to become a constitutional monarchy like the British, but they were opposed by the de facto rulers of the Second German Empire, the military leaders. Not only those marshals and generals opposed it, but in fact in Max. Feng. After Baden secretly negotiated with the Entente, Britain took the lead in refusing.

The actual ruler of the Second German Reich was not Kaiser Wilhelm II? The answer is clear, Wilhelm II is the emperor, but it is the General Staff Headquarters that can really influence the country. This was well known not only in Germany, but also in the Entente.

[That is why Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and went to the Netherlands to live in seclusion, but the Junkers were purged on a large scale after the First World War! ] Perhaps it should be purged that Juncker's presence is able to guarantee the army a group of elite commanders, but more often than not, it is actually an obstacle? 】

In August 1918, the flu had a tendency to become more and more intense, as if all cities in the world were suffering from serious diseases, usually at least 40% of the people in each city became sick, in this situation, many government agencies were suspended, and it was in this context that Li Qi embarked on the road back to his own fiefdom.
