"No one should make such a decision! The Wehrmacht is not an instrument for some people to realize their ambitions! The German people love peace! This is not something that can be changed by a few conspirators! I will represent the majority of peace-loving people and crusade against those criminals who have put Germany in danger of war!" In his speech to the Diet, Sherman made an impassioned speech.

His exciting-looking speech was met with only a handful of applause, and most of them were still basking in the shock of Sherman's speech, and they were all struggling to digest the impact it might bring.

In the audience, an old man with a pocket watch on his chest, a single glass, and gray hair asked the young man next to him: "Let's see if there is a way to use this incident to make this an opportunity for the government to intervene in the control of the national defense forces!"

"Several councillors are working on this, and they plan to see what Hindenburg means first, and if he agrees, then there will be much less resistance, and if he disagrees, then the parliament will take the necessary action and attack the army directly!"

The old man nodded, closed his eyes, and said, "Let Defense Minister Otto Guessler do it! Immediately prosecute the Wehrmacht General Headquarters! Mobilize the forces of the Berlin Police Department that we control to arrest the criminal Accardo Rudolph!"

He thought for a moment, then opened his eyes again, and his eyes were filled with a strange and fierce light: "Let's do it tonight! Don't care about the dead! Kill Accardo directly! Remember not to live it! We don't have the weapons and equipment of the army, and the only chance of victory lies in the speed of action!"

The young man nodded: "Don't worry! We will not alarm the police of the Greater German Party! I will use our strength." ”

In another corner, two senile legislators were bowing their heads and whispering. One of them had long since lost his teeth, and his speech was a little slurred: "Mills, how sure are you this time? Will there be a backlash against meddling in the Wehrmacht?"

The old man, Mills, dressed in the splendid clothes of the nobility, and his left hand trembling slightly from old age, thought for a moment before he spoke: "The operation is coordinated by the SA of the Nazi Party! ”

"He is still very capable of training the Wehrmacht! He is too authoritarian and too nonsense! It's a pity that ......" The toothless old man sighed with a regretful expression: "With so many forces, he can't survive tonight." ”

"The elite of the Wehrmacht should have been in the hands of the government, not the reckless and ignorant officers. The aristocratic old man with a trembling left hand snorted: "What's more, it's a poor officer! I don't know what kind of **** luck I took to climb to that position." ”

A man with a general's epaulette on his shoulder came over, sat down next to the two old men, coughed, and said: "Ahem! He is indeed a little too reckless! It is a good thing to expand the capabilities of the Wehrmacht! But he has used so many shady means! If the Wehrmacht cannot have an accident, then he will have to be sacrificed alone!"

"What did the crown prince say?" asked the old man with a trembling left hand, looking at the senior general of the Wehrmacht.

"The royal family will support us in this operation!" Hindenburg's personal assistant has just informed me that most of the Wehrmacht will be on hold!" The general said proudly: "One of my old subordinates is the commander of the Wehrmacht 1st Division, and he will act tonight to take over the defense of Berlin with his troops, and if the operation is successful, the rest of the troops loyal to Accardo will fall into chaos, and the battle will be over before it even begins!"

"Don't be careless! Accardo has at least the troops of the 15th Division and other regiments of the 1st Division around Berlin, and if we fail, we will be doomed!" The toothless old man narrowed his eyes and said: "After the operation begins, try to control as many senior members of the Greater German Party as possible, and use the cabinet position to put them on our side!"

......

The presidential palace, Hindenburg, was listening to a report on Accardo's unauthorized use of Wehrmacht's investments, which was a dozen pages long, which showed the extent of the Wehrmacht's secret investments.

"The July exercise was not used for ammunition procurement, the exercise consumed old reserve ammunition, and the money was used to open a bar in Korbach! The lieutenant read the entire page, flipped through one page, and swallowed nervously.

He had just read a few pages of the report, and the amount of money in it was already as high as 4 million marks, and more than half of the thickness of the book had not yet been read, which was enough to prove that the scale of the Wehrmacht's covert operation and embezzlement of public funds was very huge. Almost all of these embezzled funds were handled by Lieutenant General Accardo Rudolph*, who was single-handedly involved in rebuilding the Wehrmacht. Obviously, these illegal investments have been acquiesced in by Accardo.

Hindenburg didn't call a stop, he had to bite the bullet and read on: "300,000 marks of money were embezzled, and a man named Merkel bought a movie theater on the verge of bankruptcy......"

"Enough!" Hindenburg could no longer bear it anymore and waved his hand to interrupt the adjutant's voice: "What is he in the Wehrmacht? What is his trust in me?

Hindenburg was so angry that he grabbed the telephone receiver in front of him and threw it at the feet of the adjutant: "I gave him his power! I gave him every qiē! He betrayed me! Betrayed my trust!"

"I asked him to run the Wehrmacht! He actually used military funds to do business! A dignified Wehrmacht general! He actually hooked up with those businessmen! What did he do with the Great German Party! I sat in the position of president to do more for the German people! He did everything possible to climb to his current position in order to have more money!" Hindenburg angrily grabbed the pen holder and threw it on the carpet, scolding loudly.

"Your Excellency the President!" Groner, an old friend of Hindenburg who had been standing at the door, frowned and persuaded: "Although Accardo embezzled public funds from the Wehrmacht, most of his investments are still profitable, and we all know that he has a lot of things that he can't afford to do, and he has a lot of people who need to support himself!"

"So what? His Wehrmacht is getting more and more out of my control, and it is losing its proper position more and more!" Hindenburg recovered a little emotion, gasped to adjust his mentality, and finally said: "He has offended too many people this time, we don't need to do anything, just wait and see!"

......

In the battalion of the 1st Division of the Wehrmacht, Accardo looked at Tukhachevsky apologetically: "I'm sorry to let you see my wolf side." ”

"It's okay!General Accardo, I'm sure you'll be able to handle the problem. Tukhachevsky smiled kindly: "In our country, the white bandits used to fight back frantically, and we used to be weak, but in the end, we defeated our opponents with firm conviction and became the masters of the Soviet Union!" ”

"Thank you!" Accardo stretched out his hand and shook Tukhachevsky's hand, then turned and walked to the commander of the 1st Division, Hulk, and gave an order as he went: "Send General Tukhachevsky and our Soviet friends to the headquarters of the 15th Division! Order Wren and the whole division to be on guard! No one is allowed to come and go at will!"

"Contact Fanny, and the Big Deutsche Zeitung will immediately launch a counterattack! Attack Sherman for betraying his fellow Germans, and don't deny all his accusations! Incite the German people to support the Big German Party!" Accardo looked at Anna and ordered: "You personally rush to the homes of several high-ranking cadres of the Big German Party and arrange their safety! It is better to gather and protect them! Be sure to be foolproof!"

He looked at Sindra, the secretary of work on his side, again: "Start an internal investigation immediately! See how far the information has leaked! Work out a solution with Gascol and put it on my desk before dark!"

"Yes!" Anna and Sindra saluted.

"Long live the Greater German Party! General, there is an old man who calls himself Mr. Krupp's butler, who has come to look for you in front of the barracks. A second lieutenant ran over, gave a German salute, and reported.

"Ask him to come over. Accardo ordered with a frown.

After a while, the old man, accompanied by two soldiers, walked up to Accardo, who recognized him from a distance, and he was indeed the butler of Krupp's side as he claimed.

"What did Krupp ask you to come to me?" asked Accardo, whose frown still hadn't relaxed.

"General, Mr. Karl Benz heard some rumors, and went to visit Master Krupp, and when he heard about it, he immediately sent people to investigate, and he just heard some rumors, and there is an operation within the current government to take over the command of the Wehrmacht, and he is worried that these people will be unfavorable to you, General, so he sent me to inform you to get ready. The old butler bowed his head and said.

"What else did he say?" asked Accardo.

The old butler stepped forward and whispered to Accardo, "The old man said that they will take action tonight, and there is no way to know what the specific action will be." ”

"Help me, thank you, Krupp, and Mr. Bentz. Accardo said solemnly, "I'll have people rush over to protect the safety of the two." ”

"Thank you, General. "The housekeeper bowed very politely.

"Hulk, choose someone you can rely on, take a company of troops and go back with this gentleman, and protect Mr. Krupp, vice chairman of the Greater German Party, and my important friend, Mr. Karl Bentz!"

"Yes!" Hulk straightened up, turning around and making arrangements.

"Depp, prepare the car, let's go back to the Wehrmacht Headquarters! I want to see what kind of waves these stinky fish can make in the palm of my hand!" Accardo ordered with displeasure on his face and a somewhat gloomy face.
