Chapter 44 44 Young Fox
Streisman looked at Accardo and nodded, "I'll gather the men right away, and we'll put our party program together tonight." ”
"I immediately flew back to the Krupp factory and ordered the head there to gather all the workers at once and let them join the Greater German Party. Krupp also said.
"What about me?" Accardo asked with a smile, "You two vice chairmen are busy, am I, the chairman, idle?"
Krupp glanced at it and laughed: "Chairman Accardo, oh no, you are Accardor tonight Major General Rudolph!"
After Krupp finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand: "Congratulations, 26-year-old Wehrmacht Major General. ”
Accardo shrugged his shoulders and shook his hand, "Thank you." ”
Stlesmann also extended his hand: "Congratulations to you as well, Mr. Accardo, chairman of the Greater Deutschland party. ”
Accardo didn't withdraw his hand, and shook it directly with him: "Thank you as well." ”
Krupp held up the glass in his right hand: "Have a good night." ”
Streismann just nodded to Accardo, and then turned to leave the reception with Krupp.
How could it be a good time, Accardo was going to rush back to the Wehrmacht headquarters tonight, where he would arrange his troops and wait for tomorrow, and he still had a lot to do, as he said, he had no personal time to fall in love at all, and he was hardly at home checking the company accounts, or reviewing the documents of the troops everywhere in the Wehrmacht headquarters.
You can't get to grips with a reliable army without spending more time than anyone else, and Accardo doesn't want to be kept in the dark by his men like Sickert, who often needs to take matters into his own hands and see for himself what his men are doing.
Seeing the two of them leave, Accardo found a corner with his wine glass, to be honest, he was not very used to the atmosphere of this kind of banquet, and he was not very good at dealing with those blonde and blue-eyed ladies and girls. These people surrounded him so that he could barely breathe, and these people kept talking so that he could not think.
So he found a corner, hiding from the eyes of the crowd, and seeking a little peace, so that he could breathe freely and keep thinking carefully on such occasions.
"Hello, General. Behind him, through the newly promoted guard officer Gehr, a timid voice came over.
Accardo turned around, put on a kind smile, and said yes, "Hello, second lieutenant, is there anything you want me to do?"
Seeing Accardo turn around, the second lieutenant, who seemed to be only a few years older than Accardo, immediately stood upright, saluted and replied: "Your Excellency, General, I am Captain Erwin Rommel of the Stuttgart Cavalry Battalion. You invited me to this reception. ”
"That's right. Accardo nodded and smiled and joked, "Looks like I'm easy to identify among a group of old men." ”
"General, I don't know what you brought me from Stuttgart for?" Rommel said suspiciously, "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I really don't know how you have heard of a little captain like me." ”
"It's gold that always shines, doesn't it?" Accardo smiled and patted Rommel on the shoulder: "When I first participated in the battle, I didn't apply it as well as you, I heard that you led 3 soldiers to repel the attack of 20 French soldiers in the last war. ”
"I also heard that General, you saved more than 100 soldiers who were poison gas in the last war. Rommel looked at Accardo and said, "I'm a person who is in a hurry, and I like to be direct and not go around in circles, what can I do for you?"
"I want to form a cavalry division, but I lack an advisor, are you interested?" Accardo was not at all angry at Rommel for directness, on the contrary, he liked the straightforwardness of his subordinates.
"Cavalry division?" Rommel looked at Accardo, his eyes lit up: "What kind of cavalry division." Am I qualified to do it?"
"A brand new cavalry division, so no seniority is required. Accardo patted Rommel on the shoulder, although Rommel was a few years older than him, he still looked a little immature in front of Accardo, and this future desert fox was too handsome, which made Accardo a little jealous.
Although Accardo was also a tall and handsome traditional Germanic handsome guy, he was a little thin and had some local accents, so he felt that he was still slightly inferior to a perfect handsome guy like Rommel.
While patting Rommel on the shoulder, he forgot about the topic of who was more handsome than whom, and continued: "And this is a special cavalry division, very special. ”
"I can do this job!" Rommel knew that his opportunity to soar was coming, and immediately said: "Please trust me!"
With a wave of his hand, Accardo stopped Rommel's assurance: "What I need is loyalty, absolute loyalty! ”
Rommel was stunned: "To you alone?"
"Yes!" said Accardo, "join the Greater German Party, be my man, be my loyal subordinate!"
Join the Greater German Party, be my man, be my loyal subordinate!" these words became Rommel's last memory of the banquet, and he returned to the hotel in a trance, not remembering at all how he had returned to his bed.
The soldier's inherent caution prevented him from immediately agreeing to Accardo's terms, and he told Accardo to think about it, so he left the banquet hall in a daze, thinking about things all the way back.
But in the middle of the night, Rommel suddenly jumped up from his bed, got up in a hurry, put on his military uniform, pushed open the door and rushed to the Wehrmacht Headquarters, because Accardo told him when he was parting that Accardo would be on duty at the Wehrmacht Headquarters this evening.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning, Rommel finally met Accardo, who was tired and looked like he hadn't slept all night. As soon as they met, Rommel gave up his reserve and hesitation, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, General, I will be loyal to your will, and I am willing to dedicate my life to your cause!"
"Don't think about it anymore?" asked Accardo with a smile.
Rommel shook his head: "No, I thought about it, if I work hard personally, it will take at least thirty years to become a general, but if I follow you, maybe ten years will be enough." Twenty years is enough to impress me. ”
"I'm going to let you form the 26th Cavalry Division of the Wehrmacht, but your internal number is the 7th Panzer Division, maybe in two years, I'll make you the commander of this force, do you think you can do it?"
"Of course!" I think I can do it!" replied Rommel confidently as Accardo.
"You are still not qualified, so I will hand over this division to Major General Sturm first, and I will sue him and ask him to cooperate with you in the formation work. Accardo waved his hand and told Rommel that he would have to endure for a while.
"Please rest assured, I know what to do, this division is mine, and the near future will be mine. Rommel said.
"It's not just this division, as long as you follow me, I'll let you command more troops. Accardo said, "Learn more from General Stum, and you'll need it in the future." Go through the formalities when you leave, you've been promoted, Major Rommel. ”
"Yes!" Rommel saluted.
There was a knock on the office door, and Accardo said casually, "Come in." ”
Gehr pushed open the door and walked in from the outside, and immediately said, "Mr. Krupp called, saying that it was ready. ”
"How is the party program formulated?" Accardo asked: "Have you followed the four points I have said? First, to seek welfare for the workers, peasants, and citizens, and to fight for the happiness of the workers, peasants, and citizens; second, to seek development for the capitalists, to expand technology, to improve production, and to obtain greater profits; third, to seek survival for the empire, to establish a world power, and to realize Greater Germany; and fourth, the Greater German Party is willing to sacrifice its life for the freedom and equality of all the people!"
"It's basically based on this, but it's a lot better, and it sounds a little more exciting. Geer said as he handed the text to Accardo: "You better see for yourself, if you agree, sign it, and we will send it to all party members as an internal text." ”
Accardo looked down for a few minutes, walked up to his desk, picked up his pen, and signed his name: Accardo Rudolph.
Then he grabbed the phone on his desk: "Pick up the 15th Division headquarters for me...... I'm Accardo, Division Commander Wren, and I've ordered the 15th Division to begin the 'Helfa Plan', and the troops are on first level alert, and you can't leave the headquarters for half a step! If anything happens to the 1st Division and other troops, take over the command of the entire Berlin Armed Forces at once. ”
Hearing the phone on the other side, Commander Wren said firmly: "Yes." Come, Accardo hung up the phone and glanced at Gehr again: "You go and tell Major Gasco that he has been promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Wehrmacht, and let him lead someone to start arranging the oath-taking of the entire Wehrmacht General Headquarters, and I will rush over and attend it in person." ”
"Yes!" said Gerli, saluting.
"And!" Accardo continued to order: "You take someone to take over the defense of the entire headquarters in person! Order the soldiers to reload their ammunition! Enter the first level of alert! If you encounter a special problem, you can open fire directly! You don't need to ask me. ”
"Yes!" said Gehr, turning and walking out, unfastening his pistol holster as he went.
"What do you need me to do?" Rommel asked, standing behind Accardo, "I think I can help." ”
"You, you can be my guard for the time being, and by the way, watch a big show with me, a good show where the dawn shines on the earth. Accardo said.
He glanced at the rising sun, and said with three points of nervousness and seven points of domineering: "The dawn shines on the earth, and the empire ushers in the dawn." ”
