Chapter 117: The War of the 117 Committee
Colonel Grudo has been unhappy lately, and the funding for their coalition arms control committee has been cut again. The domestic economic situation has made it difficult for countries to care about foreign affairs, so the activities of the Coalition Arms Control Committee have become extremely difficult.
Due to financial constraints, many inspections and inspections had to be cancelled, and even many reports submitted on time were now put on hold, and the use of the Arms Control Commission to supervise and control the Wehrmacht became less and less.
A comparison of the numbers of several periods shows that the role of the Coalition Arms Control Committee has been reduced to a dispensable level.
At the end of 1919, there were more than 900 staff in the Allied Arms Control Commission, including hired clerks and bribed intelligence officers, the total number of more than 2,000 people, and at that time, almost the entire German military industry and army were under the records of the Allied Arms Control Commission.
Here is a report that shows how detailed the records were at that time, about the resignation of a colonel of the new German Wehrmacht due to illness, the cause and the results of the illness, the name of the officer who replaced the colonel, the original position...... Including all the effects of this promotion are documented.
In order to spy on Accardo Rudolph, who was already a Wehrmacht Colonel, the Allied Arms Control Committee retrieved Accardo's personal file, which was recorded from his table in 1918 when he was serving in 1918 to his promotion when he became a member of the new Wehrmacht's gas prevention team, and even when Accardo was transferred to the Wehrmacht General Headquarters, there was an important symbol on the file as a note.
If you still have a slight impression, then you should remember that due to the intervention of the Coalition Arms Control Committee, the Krupp factory was forced to destroy more than eighty percent of the production equipment, and even the thousands of cannons that had already been produced were destroyed.
By 1925, the Wehrmacht had gradually seized the initiative, and much of the information had been covered up or distorted, but the Allied Arms Control Committee still had absolute superiority in many aspects.
At that time, most of the weapons and equipment produced by the German * team had to be carried out in secret, and many of the equipment was disguised by civilian use, and at this time, Germany was still very concerned about the attitude of the Allied Arms Control Committee, at least on the surface. There are also two copies here, which prove that although the Allied Arms Control Committee has lost its monitoring at this time, it is still the authoritative body set up by the Allied Forces in Germany.
The first is the internal statistics of the German intelligence services, which show that between 1925 and 1927, German intelligence captured a total of 427 spies who provided intelligence to the Allied Arms Control Committee, obtained 2,913 pieces of information on the organization's activities, and successfully prevented more than 2,100 such operations.
Another document shows that in late 1925, the Allied Arms Control Commission launched a large-scale raid and seized a shell production plant owned by the Krupp company, confiscating more than 5,000 shells and 20 150 mm cannons. The weapons were all destroyed on the spot the next day, and the Germans paid $70,000 in compensation for the violation, and the Foreign Office formally apologized to France and the United Kingdom.
These notes indicate that the Allied Arms Control Commission, led by the French, British, and Belgians, continued to function with some success, at least during this period when the expansion of the Wehrmacht was severely contained.
However, things took a turn for the worse in 1929, when the British had effectively withdrawn from the Allied Arms Control Commission due to the economic crisis, losing the pressure of the British, and the French government was forced to restrain its arrogance due to the domestic economic situation, and it was clear that the deterrence of the Wehrmacht had weakened more than a little.
In the following numbers, it was shown that this body had almost completely lost its role as a check on the Wehrmacht. In the year 1920, the commission made nine surprise inspections of German industrial enterprises and two surprise inspections of the army. And the same inspections were carried out in 1930 only for a pitiful 1 time at the military-industrial complex.
The results of this time also show the weakening of the coalition arms control committee. This time, officers of the Allied Arms Control Commission found 41 illegal 150-millimeter cannons and more than 7,000 undocumented shells at a newly built Krupp military factory near the outskirts of Berlin. But this time, instead of apologizing, the Germans did not even destroy the weapons, but simply filled them out on the form.
"It's not the way to go. A judicial officer sighed and sighed: "A few years ago, we could check wherever we went, but now if we want to go to these places, we can't even enter the door, we have documents, and they have submachine guns!"
"And that's not all, we've been intimidated and beaten in the last few months, and now we have to carry guns when we go out into the streets, or a crowd of SS men will come up and provoke, and the damned German poor people will still be cheering. Another officer said.
Colonel Grudo threw the text in his hand on the desk, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The reports I submitted to France and England have been returned. ”
"We've provided such detailed evidence!" said the first lawyer, who spoke angrily, "There is a lot of evidence to prove that Accardo is the culprit behind the expansion of the German army." ”
The other officer nodded as well: "Yes, we have been monitoring Accardo since the warning of that mysterious phone call, and although his status has become more and more difficult, we have still obtained a lot of evidence. ”
"In 1925 he rushed to Munich, and then there was evidence that the Germans had created a secret military base in the southern mountains of Munich!
"He had always been in close contact with a general named Catherine within the Wehrmacht, and this General Catherine has now become the supreme commander of the Wehrmacht Air Force, which is enough to prove that he was actually behind the restoration of the German Air Force!"
When it comes to the relationship between Accardo and the expansion of the Wehrmacht, the big guys are talking about it, and everyone here knows that this Accardo is actually the soul of the Wehrmacht, because almost every time the Wehrmacht expansion can be confirmed, the shadow of Accardo Rudolph can be found behind the scenes.
"We all know that this man is guilty! But now he is no longer a character we can deal with! Gentlemen, our government has connived at this devil for the sake of some international relations, and now that he has become the climate, our country is no longer able to deal with him!" said Grudo lonely, "This is the third time that I have asked for the trial of the German dangerous man Accardo Rudolph, and this is the last report of my tenure." I'm about to resign as head of the Coalition Arms Control Commission. ”
"Colonel Grudo, are you going back home?" the officers present were a little frustrated, and everyone asked in a big voice. Colonel Grudo has always been the officer who leads them, he is amiable and methodical, and he has always taken care of all the officers in the Coalition Arms Control Committee like a patriarch, so he is also deeply loved by these officers.
"The Belgian Ministry of Defense has given me that after this year, Belgium will give up stationing Arms Control Commission officers in Germany, and I will be repatriated. This report is the last counterattack I can do against Accardo. Grudeau sighed and said regretfully: "Even though there are many peace-loving people who stand up to help us, we still can't stop the approach of war." ”
"Colonel! Let's take people and go directly to their Führer's mansion! Fight with him! If he is willing to bow to the law, we will admit that we are dead! If he dares to resist, at least our country will not watch us die like this! When the time comes, ......," said an officer excitedly.
"No one is going to war for us! The Germans saw this better than we did! they knew that we were ornaments even before we knew we. Grudo smiled bitterly and said, "Even now a group of Germans are killing in, I don't think it's strange." ”
He spread his hands helplessly and said: "Not even now! The British government has already acquiesced in Germany's ambitions for the Sudetenland in order to keep Germany's attention to the east! And Austria has also become a victim of this plan! In order to balance the strength of France and Germany, they have even given up on both countries, let alone us?"
"Then we just ignore the Germans?" said a young officer, standing up and indignant.
"Of course you can't watch them rearm themselves like that!" Colonel Grudo stood up and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, this is a war! A war without gunpowder! And you are the fighters fighting on the front line! You must protect yourselves well and try to record every crime committed by the Germans in trampling on the peace treaty! One day the international situation will undergo a fundamental change! At that time, these crimes will be the evidence of the ugly face of the Germans!"
He straightened the military hat on his head and walked towards the door: "When that day comes, someone will remember the sweat and blood we have paid for this! We will be inscribed on the heroic monument by the motherland! Our friends and relatives will be proud of us! Long live peace! Long live freedom!"
At this very moment, in Berlin, a few kilometers away from the Führer's residence in the Allied Arms Control Committee, Accardo was standing on the edge of the map with his general Brauchitsch.
"My Führer!" said Brauchitsch, pointing to the southeastern border on the map, "the soldiers are ready! ”
Accardo wore a black SS officer's uniform, but on his shoulders was a pattern of two crossed swords, which was a newly designed field marshal's epaulettes, although the Wehrmacht did not recognize it, but still tacitly accepted Accardo's use of this special epaulette in SS uniform. He stood there listening to Brauchitsch's explanation, and slowly fiddled with a large globe beside him.
"Inform a few generals!" After listening to Brauchitsch's words, Accardo held his chin and pondered for a while before ordering: "Convene a military conference of the army!
