Chapter 517 focuses on the overall situation
Seeing his wife leave, a strange glint flashed in Colonel Koch's eyes, which was keenly captured by Major General Konrad Adenauer, as if he said inadvertently; "Colonel, I should be glad to have such a beautiful and intelligent wife."
"Yes, General, I have always respected my wife very much."
"So you have a beautiful little Portuguese lover, I heard that you are very doting on her, and this little woman is very restless, jumping up and down and even provoking the relationship between the senior officers of the expeditionary force?"
"Your Excellency, General, you ......"
Colonel Koch looked back at the gray-haired Major General with some surprise, and a thought that crossed his mind was; The Chief of the General Staff is investigating me?
What thought was turning in his heart, Major General Conrad Adenauer looked at the pattern in his palm, snorted coldly with a stern expression, threw the few cashew nuts he had grabbed in his hand back on the plate, and said in a low voice; "You idiot, is it the Mozambican sun that has sunburned your head? Let that beautiful little Portuguese lover be fascinated by the north and south, just play casually, and actually take it seriously, is there an impermeable wall in this world? ”
"You mean...... Does the Earl know? Although Colonel Koch was bewitched by beauty, he was not a stupid person after all, and he reacted immediately, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"I know everything, do you think the Earl's political intelligence department is a decoration? What's more, the gendarmerie in the army is also responsible for monitoring and reporting, and your situation may have already been compiled into a document and placed on the Earl's desk. Major General Konrad Arsenal was a little annoyed that iron could not be made of steel, after all, there were only a few people in the upper echelons of the German officer corps, and they had a close relationship with each other.
When Captain Koch followed him to Australia, he was only a young German retired officer in his 30s, but now he is in his forties, serving in the high position of colonel and deputy division commander, and is very hopeful to be promoted to the rank of brigadier general, becoming a leading figure among young and middle-aged German officers, and continuing the glory of German professional officers in the Queensland army.
The chief of the General Staff, Major General Conrad Adenauer, and the commander of the Tiger Cavalry Division, Brigadier General Schwartz-Kopf, were both fifty-four or five years old, and even if they could still be in charge of the army for a few years, they would not have much time left.
Once they are relieved of their front-line military posts, it is necessary for Colonel Koch and Brigadier General Fritz to rise to the top and become the voice of the new generation of German officers, to take care of and help the new generation of German middle-aged and young officers to grow up smoothly and fulfill the historical mission entrusted to them.
Everyone can see that the future of Queensland's power is limitless, and the German immigrant community is the third largest immigrant group after the Chinese and British immigrant groups, and it must have its own interests to consider, and it needs its own interest spokesperson in the military and upper political circles to support the development of the ethnic group.
The status has reached the level of Major General Conrad Adenauer, and his own interests have been tightly tied to the Earl of Queensland, and the power and wealth are all top-notch, and what he pursues is no longer these flashy and flashy, but what can be done for German immigrants?
Colonel Koch's stupid deeds may have ruined his future.
"General, this ...... I...... You're going to reach out and give me a hand! Colonel Koch came back to his senses, a look of horror appeared on his face, and said in a hurried tone;" I'm really obsessed, I was just playing on a whim, but I didn't expect this Portuguese leprechaun to be so haunting, and I fell into it unconsciously......"
"Hmph, did this woman named Sofia make you use her power to free her father Juan Carlos and dozens of Portuguese captives in the small town of Enzo?"
"This ...... Yes. ”
Under the pressure of the general's gaze, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Colonel Koch's forehead, he knew that he had done this too recklessly, and someone might have taken the handle.
"Did you put them in the town of Sorafa, and even made that "Balazzo" named Juan Carlos the mayor of the town? What did they want to do with the gathering of more than 2,000 Portuguese in the town of Soranfa and secretly armed with some weapons? ”
"General...... Colonel Koch looked at him with a pale face, not believing that such a secret thing was known to the General.
"Stupid, stupid......"
Major General Conrad Adenauer was really heartbroken, he knew that Colonel Koch's plan was nothing more than the persuasion of the Portuguese woman to try to gain self-esteem and develop his own power in the town of Sorafa.
After all, the African colonies are far away, and Colonel Koch, as the deputy division commander of the African Expeditionary Force, is not a big deal to do too much, and the second regiment under his control is an infantry regiment where young and middle-aged German officers are concentrated, and it is also an infantry regiment that he brought out single-handedly, and there is no doubt about his control.
The problem is that the grass-roots officers at the platoon level of the second regiment are basically from the Eagle School, and even if there are more than 10 German officers at the battalion and regiment level, it is impossible to shout to the end.
At present, the second regiment is scattered along the nearly 600-kilometer-long highway at the company and platoon level, carrying out the task of building a central highway.
Brigadier General Mo Rufeng, commander of the expeditionary force, made Colonel Koch abandon his martial arts with a light move, and he could not even summon two companies of soldiers in an emergency......
"The document about your situation was transferred by the gendarmerie of the expeditionary force, presumably at the behest of Brigadier General Mo Rufeng, he is really ruthless...... It's for us to clean up the portal ourselves. ”
Major General Konrad Adenauer stood up silently and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Originally, he still had a little luck in his heart, thinking that there would be many untruths in the fighting in the army, but judging from Colonel Koch's frightened look, all this was true.
"Your Excellency...... This is all they framed me, I admit that I did raise a little Portuguese lover Sophia, and also made his father the mayor of Sorafa, but this is just to appease the Portuguese, after all, there are still tens of thousands of Portuguese in our occupied area, as for secretly equipping the Portuguese with weapons is slander, in this great African plain, there are lions, tigers and ferocious African hyenas when leaving the towns where the population is concentrated, these Portuguese originally had some shotguns to protect themselves and their families, I just didn't collect them according to the regulations......"
"Well, needless to say, there will naturally be an impartial investigation into your situation." Major General Conrad Adenauer felt so tired at the moment, and waved his hand tiredly and said; "I formally inform you, in my capacity as Chief of the General Staff, that all your duties in the army are now suspended pending investigation, and that you are not allowed to leave this residence during this period, as a formal order, and the relevant official documents will then be transmitted to the African Expeditionary Force."
"No...... You can't do this. Colonel Koch cried out in despair.
"On the contrary, I can ......" Major General Konrad Adenauer looked into the distance with a deep pain in his eyes.
He knew very well how deep the Earl's control over the army was, and if any commander dared to show the signs of rebellion, he would probably raise his gun and kill him without the help of others.
This is really not a joke, but the current state of the Queensland army.
The Queensland army expanded its territory and won successive battles, which led to the ...... The officers and soldiers of the army fanatically worshipped the Earl, and among the young and middle-aged officers, it was popular to participate in the Skull and Bones Meeting, which belonged to the Young and Strong Iron Blood faction, and the only purpose was to worship the leader as a god.
Don't the Red Fort know? Didn't the General Staff know? Didn't the gendarmerie of the Political Intelligence Department know?
The Earl is the kind of male lord with a strong desire to control, not only in the army, but also in Queensland society and overseas territories, the control of the militia organization "Xinghua Society", the civil organization "Hongmen", the political "Zhi Gong Party", the army has the "Skull and Bones Society", not to mention the political department and the town political intelligence department, these secret intelligence and governance departments, it is simply impenetrable.
Colonel Koch: This is floating!
A look at Brigadier General Fritz's Shangri-La Division shows that the First Division, which originally had more than 13,800 people in its heyday, has now only lost two or three big cats and kittens, and the elite of the bloody battle has been transferred to supplement other troops.
In exchange, the combat effectiveness of the entire Queensland Army Infantry Division was raised to a higher level, and under the repeated blood draws, the combat effectiveness of the Shangri-La Division plummeted to a dangerous level, silently ranking behind the Sumatra 1st Division and the Sumatra 2nd Division, and also behind the African Expeditionary Force......
In front of such a hero, don't play any tricks, it is tantamount to dancing horizontally on the edge of the cliff, and a careless will be a catastrophe.
The German officer corps is a vine clinging to a big tree, and the big tree grows tall and dense, and the vine naturally lives and is alive and bright.
Major General Konrad Adenauer, of course, understands this, and for the sake of the overall situation, he has abandoned Colonel Koch from his heart.
"That's it, don't make any superfluous moves, otherwise God won't be able to save you, have time to confess to Mrs. Mingyan, she is your last support."
With a faint word of awakening, Major General Conrad Adenauer shook his head and walked away, and when he reached the door, he told the young officer; "House arrest of Colonel Koch is a decision of the General Staff, you must resolutely implement it, if anything goes wrong, I will only ask you."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The young officer replied with a serious salute, this is the officers and soldiers of the division headquarters and battalion of the expeditionary force, and Colonel Koch's personal soldiers have already been transferred elsewhere, and they will not stay here to add to the twists and turns.
Major General Konrad Adenauer looked back at Colonel Koch, who was sitting blankly under the gazebo, and felt a pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and turned away.
There were only four or five high-ranking officers of German origin, and the fall of any one of them was an unbearable loss.
But for the sake of the overall situation, the strong man had to break his wrist, and the owner of the Red Fort did not rub sand in his eyes, and there was no reason for connivance.
The price is painful, and it's still floating after thinking about it!
I hope that Colonel Koch will listen to his opinion and ask the Count to be lenient through the channel of Madame Mingyan, or ask the Countess to come forward and give Colonel Koch another chance.
