Chapter 90: 90 Heroes

Although the entry of the German armed forces into the Rhineland turned into a farce, and although the frequent movements of German armored forces showed some of Germany's hidden strength, the Wehrmacht stumbled to take back the Rhineland.

Because a few French soldiers opened fire, nearly 1,500 Germans were routed back to the starting point, and half of the German armed forces were in a hurry—this became almost a joke at the top of the world's armed forces. And this new German armed forces also became like a flock of sheep in the eyes of the French, and the Wehrmacht even ranked behind the Japanese army in the new assessment of combat effectiveness.

However, the Wehrmacht remained the saviors of the German people, and they were warmly welcomed by the local population in the Rhineland. Although some of the soldiers rode tall horses, and although some of them carried outdated Makqin heavy machine guns, they were still surrounded by flowers and stopped by the girls to offer kisses.

For the majority of Rhineland's residents, the arrival of the armed forces is something to celebrate. Every time the steel helmeted F-FDTL soldiers passed through the city, the citizens poured into the streets to greet them in the warmest way possible.

They jumped and screamed, sang patriotic songs, and cheered. At the spontaneous welcoming ceremony, young girls presented the officers with bright red carnations. The German flag is hung all over the streets. One journalist lamented what he had seen: "The local residents are so enthusiastic that the soldiers of the Wehrmacht are obviously not enough for the girls. ”

When a gentleman who went to church in Kronto heard that the army of his homeland was coming, he immediately turned around and walked towards the main square, and as he went, he said: "Oh God! I will invite the first soldier to shake my hand to have a drink! I will drink as hard as I did on the day I joined the army in 1914! I will get drunk with him today! Long live General Accardo? Long live General Rudolph!" The same is true in the cities of Frankfurt, Aachen, Düsseldorf, and Koblins, which are full of patriotic fervor.

Accardo has once again become a hero to the German people under Fanny's propaganda offensive, and the common people can not care that Accardo almost led them into the abyss of war, and in the oppressive atmosphere of the economic crisis, it is a great comfort to the working people at the bottom to hear a little exciting news.

Although after a deep analysis, it is not difficult to see that this was definitely a crazy adventure carried out by Accardo under the command of the Wehrmacht, but under the cover of the result of victory, a stupidity that bordered on suicide turned into a deliberate and fearless spirit. This is the power of public opinion propaganda, which can take advantage of people's dissatisfaction with reality, amplify the gloom in people's hearts, and then explode into an unprecedented force that can be used.

However, not all Germans were ecstatic about the march into the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone. A large number of those who have doubts about this are senior generals from the army. Because they knew very well that the army, though secretly nearly doubled, was still far from capable of fighting its western neighbor, France. In 1930, Germany was able to mobilize no more than 200,000 troops, about 10 divisions, while France could mobilize 100 divisions to fight.

Precisely because he was afraid of the French counterattack, Accardo did not dare to overstimulate the nerves of the French, according to the plan formulated by Bock and Accardo to march into the Rhineland, the Germans only had three dissatisfied light infantry divisions into the Rhineland, with a total strength of only a pitiful 1,500 men. Armed with machine guns and rifles, these troops were armed with no heavy weapons and tried to keep their voices low and avoid any threat to the French border, hoping to reduce the likelihood of a confrontation between them.

Because of the German aid agreement, as well as the low-key actions, and finally because of the spontaneous counterattack of a few Frenchmen, the reception of the Rhineland became a joke -

That night, Accardo raised his glass at the banquet and said to the officials and parliamentarians who had arrived to make amends for their mistakes: "From this day onwards! The German Government will regain full state sovereignty in this demilitarized area! Long live the German people! The Greater German Party will win!"

Everyone, including those who were not yet members of the Greater German Party, raised their right hands and shouted "Long live Greater Germany!"

Accardo raised his hand to signal silence, and then, in the eyes of all, he continued his speech: "At this moment, in western Germany, the German army is moving towards their station in the future years of peace. They will be protectors there. To this day, I remain confident that we will continue to keep our two vows. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his index and middle fingers: "First, in order to regain the honor of the nation, we swear that we will never give in to any force! Second, we swear that we will work harder than ever to deepen understanding with the peoples of Europe, and that Germany will not destroy peace." ”

It was a deafening performance, and Acaddo walked off the podium sweating profusely and exhausted to the cheers of "We will win!" with a satisfied smile on his lips. He won! By winning this bet, he truly grasped the direction of Germany's future.

"Accardo! Sometimes I really suspect that you are a natural manipulator of public opinion! You are more professional than I thought. Fanny took Accardo's left hand with a look of fascination.

"Anyway, today we won. Accardo took a deep breath and replied with a smile, "That's why I ended up using my speech." ”

"Yes, you've become a true lover of the masses, Accardo!" Fanny looked at Accardo's face with a wicked smile, "I heard you kissed your sexy female secretary this afternoon?"

"yes, so I think you should choose a better ...... than me" Accardo was about to talk to Fanny about the relationship between the two of them, but Fanny kissed her on the lips, Fanny was not short, she put her toe around Accardo's neck just enough to reach Accardo's lips.

"Woo...... tongue was soft—that was the thought that crossed Accardo's mind, and then he closed his eyes and enjoyed the girl's indecent indecency.

Parting lips, Fanny pressed the index finger of her right hand against Accardo's lips, "My dear! I told you I don't mind being a woman in the shadows! Miss Mercedes will worry about your wife's position! ”

God! Determined to be a junior! Still such a beautiful strong woman, don't you want my life! If you tempt me like this again, I will make a mistake! Accardo struggled in his heart.

"You can come to my house at any time, I'll wait for you!" Fanny smiled sweetly, let go of Accardo, looked at Anna next to her, and raised her eyebrows: "Okay! I have to rush back to the propaganda department today, and there are still a few special topics about the Rhineland waiting for me to review...... I won't bother you two!

Accardo glanced at Anna beside him and laughed curtly: "Ahaha, she's still like that, haha, hahaha." ”

I didn't say anything. Anna snorted: "Anyway, General, you are a big family now, I just need to be by your side every day." ”

"Your Excellency, General!" said Gehr, who came over with his glass, his face slightly reddened, and as if he had drunk a lot, "You are our hero! Long live the Big German Party!" shouted as he stumbled past Accardo with his glass in hand.

"It looks like everyone is under a lot of pressure. Accardo looked at Anna, who was carrying his arm, and said with a smile, "Thank you for those words you said to me, thank you very much." ”

"I have been by your side for so long, and I feel that a man like the General is the leader of our German people, so I support you and support you with all my love and passion!" said Anna, blushing......

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the revelry of the German people continued for a long time, such as the soldiers in black SS uniforms, who drove through the streets of Berlin in trucks with flags, and marched in the square in front of the presidential palace, shouting the slogan "Long live the Greater German Party".

The various currents and gangs within the German government were united by the powerful Greater German Party in one fell swoop, and on the surface it appeared that the German government had become the policy enforcer of the Greater German Party, and even the Nazi Party, which had been on the verge of mobilization, disappeared at this moment, allowing the Greater German Party to impassionedly promote this victory in the Reichstag speech.

The frenzied action also galvanized the radicals within the government, who broke away from their original organization and joined the Greater German Party, because they found that their radical delusional rhetoric was not as radical as the Greater German Party, which had already sent troops to take back the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone, when they were clamoring for an arms expansion.

Regardless, Accardo has become a big hero in Germany, with an unofficial opinion poll rating of a staggering 72 percent, and some analysts suggest that he will succeed Hindenburg as the next German president as long as he proposes to run for the next presidential election.

However, for unknown reasons, Accardo does not seem interested in the presidency, and he personally told the press on the first weekend of the Rhineland's return to German rule that he had no intention of running for the next German president.

As an apology for the delay in the Rhineland's operation, and gratitude for Accardo's gesture, President Hindenburg dragged his sick body to the subsequent celebrations in Cologne, during which he deliberately arranged for General Accardo Rudolf to stand on his right hand. The man standing on Hindenburg's left is Streismmann, the German Chancellor and former Foreign Minister of the Greater German Party.

This signal has been made very clear that the Greater German Party has begun to dominate the whole of Germany.
