In the middle of the night, a dull cracking sound broke the silence at President Ebert's home, and two Wehrmacht soldiers in leather boots broke open the door of Ebert's home.

More than a dozen Wehrmacht soldiers then burst into Ebert's home with guns in their hands, surrounding the shocked Ebert and his family in the center.

Accardo slapped the line of his left leg with his glove and walked into Ebert's living room with a smile on his face, glanced at Ebert, and said with a smile: "Hello, former President Mr. Ebert, you have been arrested!"

"Bastard, you know what you're talking about, you're a coup, you're attacking the German president, you're treasoning!" said Ebert, who was a little pale, staring at Accardo angrily.

"So coincidentally?" Arcado laughed, "Ebert, you yourself are guilty of treason!

"How can I be treasonous?" Ebert sneered and denied: "You are a false accusation! Shameful excuse for the coup!"

"Then what is the matter with you and Secretary Seaman calling the Allied Arms Control Committee in the middle of the night to report the news? Can you explain it to me? Mr. Ebert. Accardo chose a sofa, sat down, and asked, stretching his legs.

"Oh, yes, it's me!" but I didn't betray Germany! It was you who betrayed Germany! It was you hateful Wehrmacht!" said Ebert viciously: "You are the ones who have made the whole of Germany so barren! You are a bunch of selfish vampires!"

He took a step forward angrily, shook off his wife's hand, and shouted angrily: "The Deutsche Mark has depreciated like this! You are still increasing your military spending, you are profligate, you are buying vehicles that waste gas, and you are secretly financing the development of new weapons! I have already bought you! So I reported the Wehrmacht for the sake of Germany's future!"

He held his head high and looked at Accardo without fear: "Especially you! You are violating the expansion of the Wehrmacht for ulterior purposes, and you are giving the German economy a death sentence! You damn me sick! I want to hang you on a telephone pole!"

He gushed out his speech: "As long as the Allied Arms Control Commission gets the hang of the Wehrmacht, it can carry out supervision more strictly, and the Wehrmacht will be forced to abandon those exaggerated plans for arms expansion and warfare! In this way, the government will have more money to build our country!"

Accardo sneered: "Hehe, but the Allied Arms Control Committee did not succeed, and led to the unexpected Ruhr industrial area tragedy, which caused the whole of Germany to suffer unprecedented losses!

"I plead not guilty! These crimes are all committed by you, Accardo, and if you hadn't secretly expanded the Wehrmacht, you wouldn't have so many problems!" Albert roared hysterically.

"You're wrong! This will happen, because Germany's weak military is not enough to defend its country, so we are suffering today's humiliation! But I am planning revenge! Accardo said, standing up.

"You, you bastard, I want to see Sickert, he won't let you go!" said Ebert aloud.

Accardo walked up to Ebert, leaned into Ebert's ear, and whispered: "I embezzled part of the public funds to buy more than a dozen companies, and the profit of nearly one million a month was used to support the more secret Wehrmacht expansion plan, and even Sickert did not know that one day Germany would become strong and become the world's first power." ”

Ebert was stunned for a moment, then looked at Accardo with an expression of disbelief: "Sue me, are you really doing this for Germany?"

Accardo nodded: "You're going to die, I don't need to lie to a dead person." One qiē, all for the birth of a superpower. ”

After saying that, Accardo took a few steps back, waved his hand and gave the order: "Fire." ”

"Accardo, you devil! You devil who ruined Germany! One day you will be hanged by the German people!" Ebert watched in horror as the soldiers around him raised their rifles, pulled the bolt, and aimed at him.

No one spoke, and the silence was terrible for a second. "Bah!" the first gunshot rang out, followed by the second gunshot, then the third, then the fourth, and finally the dense gunshots, and I couldn't tell how many of them.

In the middle of the night on November 7, 1923, German President Friedrich Ebert was secretly executed by the Wehrmacht at his home, and he and his wife were shot 25 times on the sofa in the living room.

Accardo walked up to Ebert's body and reached out to help him close his eyes: "I'm sorry, but no one can stop the revival of Germany. Rest in peace, in the next life, and don't be my enemy. ”

Coming out of Ebert's house, Accardo got into Gehr's car: "Go to Field Marshal Hindenburg, drive!"

In the middle of the night, German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was resting in bed, was called up by his own guards, thinking that a colonel named Accardo Rudolph had come to visit, and that the situation was urgent and that he had to meet Hindenburg.

Originally, the guard was going to send the little colonel away, but when the guard saw Accardo's car followed by a truck, and at least 20 heavily armed soldiers jumped out of it, he was amused to dismiss the idea of driving Accardo.

"Accardo, I remember you! You were promoted to colonel or I nominated you, it seems that no one has taught you the rules lately! Don't you know that it is very rude to disturb an old marshal in the middle of the night?" said Hindenburg with a snort.

Frankly speaking, as far as Accardo knows about Hindenburg's life, the most glorious moments of his life have passed, and the years when he and Ludendorff cooperated tacitly to influence the first world victory and defeat are gone. The current Hindenburg is more of a symbol, a symbol that represents the era of the old and the new in Germany.

"Marshal! Because President Ebert has betrayed the Wehrmacht and betrayed his country! That's why I've come to disturb you in the starry night! I'm sorry!" Accardo stood in front of Hindenburg, looking distressed.

"What? You woke me up in the middle of the night just to tell me a joke? Ebert betrayed the Wehrmacht? betrayed his country? Do you know that talking nonsense is a loss of your head?" Hindenburg was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Boy! It's not your way to get promoted and get rich! Get out!"

"Field Marshal! President Ebert betrayed the Wehrmacht and obstructed the implementation! The evidence is conclusive! General Sickert approved my arrest of Ebert. Just now, I was ordered to go, but he and his family resisted arrest! Now he and his wife have been shot dead. Accardo bowed his head and said, sweat dripping from his forehead, and the most important gamble of his life depended on Field Marshal Hindenburg's answer in the next second.

Probably because of the amount of information, Hindenburg sat there silent for a few seconds, and then slowly got up and stared at Accardo, he frowned, his eyes remained motionless, as if to see through Accardo's true thoughts, and after a while, he asked, "You ordered the president of the country to be killed?"

"No, Your Excellency Marshal, I have ordered the traitor of the German people to be killed!" said Accardo solemnly.

"And what do you have to say now?" Hindenburg looked at Accardo and asked, "Let me give credit to you for this operation, and promote you for killing the president?"

"Your Excellency, I know that you have been preparing for the next presidential election, that the Wehrmacht will give you their full support, and that tomorrow morning you will take control of the whole of Berlin, and that the whole of Germany will welcome their new president, Field Marshal Hindenburg, to his post!" said Arcador with a salutation.

This time, the silence lasted for more than ten minutes, Hindenburg sat back on the sofa, holding his chin and thinking seriously, Ebert was dead, and now the empty presidential seat was at his fingertips, and it was not beneficial to deal with the colonel in front of him, and it seemed more cost-effective to win over this practical young man.

"Can I trust you, Colonel Accardo?" Hindenburg finally asked, just as Accardo felt that he was going to be dragged out and shot.

Accardo didn't speak, walked to the telephone next to Hindenburg, grabbed the phone and said loudly: "Pick me up from the headquarters of the 15th Division...... I'm Accardo! Order the army to take control of Berlin! Field Marshal Hindenburg is already the new president of Germany!"

Hindenburg straightened up his military uniform, looked at Accardo and smiled: "Ebert's death must be kept secret! I'll intercede with you on Sickert's side, and you won't have anything to do! From today onwards, you will be directly responsible to me." ”

Accardo laughed, knowing he had made the right bet, and that his action had put Hindenburg in the presidency two years ahead of schedule—at the cost that Sickert no longer valued him, and with the benefit of more independent development.

Early in the morning of November 8, 1923, the Wehrmacht and several government dignitaries announced that German President Ebert had been attacked by Germany* on the night of the 7th, and that President Ebert and his wife were both killed.

Subsequently, the German government announced an emergency plan to appoint the highly respected former German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg as President of Germany, effective immediately.

Sickett got the news of President Ebert's death in his office, dropped his favorite coffee cup, and scolded Accardo for half an hour. However, when Hindenburg's private secretary arrived and informed him of Hindenburg's support for Accardo, Sickert had to give an order for Accardo to be put in charge of the formation of the new Wehrmacht's 22nd Division near Berlin.

Just as Accardo dragged his tired body back to his apartment triumphantly, an uninvited guest knocked on Accardo's door.

"Who!" Accardo asked, gesturing Gell to open the door.

"I'm here to take refuge with you, Colonel Accardo, Colonel Rudolph!" said the man standing outside the door as soon as it opened.
