Compared with those old-fashioned and stubborn moral officials, Accardo has many advantages, such as the ability to exploit loopholes buried deep in the hearts of Chinese, which is sometimes full of petty and absurdity, but at some point, this ability can be interpreted as wisdom in disguise.

At the behest of Accardo, and with the support of General Sickert, Germany legally fought another war with the Allies' lawyers, which ended in a victory for the Germans and their factories were allowed to produce civilian aircraft.

However, the French and British did not let the Germans do as they pleased, stipulating that the planes produced in Germany should not exceed 13,000 feet in ceiling, 1,300 pounds, and most importantly, they could not exceed 105 miles per hour and 186 miles in range.

The Germans were forced to win these terms, because Britain sided with France, threatening Germany to use force to settle the dispute, and Germany was unable to resist but compromise, and this compromise also made Britain and France taste the sweetness, and they became more and more contemptuous of Germany.

The officers of the Allied Arms Control Commission of the two countries even held a celebratory reception for the lawsuit, and they once again made the German dream of building an airplane a pipe dream.

At the beginning of the following year, at the beginning of 1921, Accardo personally prepared materials to take the Allied Arms Control Committee to the International Tribunal, led by Lufthansa, the national airline of Germany, and all German airlines.

Lufthansa was originally founded in 1926, and the lawsuit was filed in 1926, but Accardo planned to set up Lufthansa six years ahead of schedule, and although Lufthansa had only three obsolete small triplanes in 1920, it was still the largest domestic airline over Germany.

This is because there is a provision in this treaty on aircraft that clearly states that a qiē aircraft in Germany must meet the above standards, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the treaty.

At the end of 1920, British and French airlines successively put planes that exceeded this standard into commercial operations in Germany for commercial competition, and these operations led to the low competitiveness of German airlines and the loss of enterprises.

The Germans won the case, and Britain and France finally compromised and in the summer of 1922 dissolved the air treaty and amended some of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles to allow Germany to produce civil aircraft without any restrictions on them.

The Wehrmacht Headquarters, which received the message, was cheering, the names of Accardo and General Sickert were shouted over and over again, and just two hours later, Lufthansa had gone from a small company with seven old triplanes to a large aviation company with 54 large biplane transport aircraft.

However, a large number of almost blowout-like military weapons and equipment development has also made the Germans feel gray, and the research and development of countless new equipment needs funds, and the scale of the army that exceeds the standard also needs money to support.

So Accardo came up with a very clever solution, and that was the arms business. And it is the most lucrative arms smuggling business.

Accardo first found the British military attache in the Wehrmacht, and chatted enthusiastically about topics of interest to the British.

"Dear Lieutenant Colonel Smith, I don't think you've had a good time in the Far East lately, have you?" said Accardo, after talking to the English nobleman about coffee, wine, and opium from India, about the main purpose of the meeting.

"The Japanese took your Tsingtao, and there was no intention of returning it to China, and we were forced to compromise, and it was very ungentlemanly to betray our good ally China. Mr. Smith put it bluntly: "This has dealt a great blow to our interests and those of France in the Far East, where the recent hostility to Britain, France, and Japan has been very severe. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Smith, I suppose that even if Germany has no interests in the Far East, it will still be an important commercial market, right?" said Accardo with a smile as he shook his glass.

Smith was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Oh, the Wehrmacht is also in business? Lieutenant Colonel Accardo? ”

Accardo laughed: "Hehe, Lieutenant Colonel Smith, what is important to make money? Isn't your country's army also a sword to protect merchants?"

"Well, you're right! I like your argument very much! My father was a businessman, and he had business in India and Australia. Smith nodded.

"There are no longer territorial privileges or other interests in the German Far East, but we can still gain commercial benefits and gain the respect of our allies, presumably Lieutenant Colonel Smith will not deny this, right?" asked Accardo with a smile.

"Of course! Germany's commercial interests can be guaranteed. Lieutenant Colonel Smith continued to nod.

Accardo raised his glass: "Personally, I even General Sickett believe that a Far Eastern market in the hands of the British Empire is far more prosperous than a Far Eastern market in the hands of the Japanese, so we intend to form an alliance with the British." ”

Smith was very excited to hear that Accardo supported Britain in containing Japan, and if Europe could unite behind Britain and help Britain stabilize the situation in the Far East, then Britain's financial crisis would be greatly alleviated: "The Wehrmacht is really a friend of the British! It is not known how the Wehrmacht intends to support the British. ”

"We intend to help the British armed squadrons! to resist the pressure of the Japanese!" Accardo was like a hungry wolf, finally baring his sharp fangs.

"God! Lieutenant Colonel Accardo, Germany does not allow the mass production of weapons and ammunition, you know that. Smith asked in surprise as he looked at Accardo incredulously.

Accardo smiled: "What you said is that Germany is not allowed to equip a large number of weapons beyond the standard, but we do not equip ourselves, we produce some weapons and sell them to China." ”

"But I don't see the slightest benefit that Britain can gain, a strong China, and a strong Japan, neither of which is easy to mess with. Smith shook his head.

Accardo glanced at Smith and pointed to the text on the table: "This military aid was carried out in secret, Britain came forward, Germany contributed, you gained the favor of the Chinese, and our country's military industrial enterprises made a little money to make a living." It's as simple as that. ”

Smith picked up the text and looked at it carefully, the conditions on it were indeed tempting, Britain came forward and the Chinese government to formulate a secret smuggling plan, providing about 100,000 rifles, 3 million rounds of ammunition and 200 armored vehicles and other weapons and equipment, eighty percent of these equipment was produced by Germany, and two percent was responsible for the British.

The weapons and ammunition were then transported by American and Dutch merchant ships, and the Russians were able to get a little bit of the sweetness. The plan was so elaborate that almost the whole world, except France, could profit from this secret arms smuggling agreement: the United States and the Netherlands received the freight, Britain got the friendship of China and made 20% of the profits, Germany was able to continue to feed its military enterprises half-dead, and China received the coveted arms.

"You're not the first person to find me, are you?" Smith looked at the German man in front of him who was of the same rank as himself, and found that he couldn't see through him.

Accardo helped Smith turn the page to the last page, pointed to the signature on it, and said with a smile: "The United States and the Netherlands will help Britain put pressure on the Chinese government, and Germany will work with Russia to suppress Japan's power in the Far East, that is, Northeast China, and ensure the interests of all countries in China." ”

"I need to go back and talk to my government. Smith said, standing up.

"Please!" Accardo stood up politely, like a nobleman.

When Smith walked out of the door, the door behind Accardo was pushed open, and Sickert walked in and sat on the couch opposite Accardo: "You are playing with fire, once the British and the French collude and our plan is exposed, then at least yourself, the game is over!"

"I—under what name are they suing me? just joking about a plan that wasn't executed. Accardo was dismissive.

Sicter looked at Accardo sternly: "We all know that this plan is already being carried out! You! I! We all know! You sent people to secretly transport 1,500 cannons to the mountains! I already knew! You are now loading those cannons into trucks and shipping them to China as the first batch of products!"

"Then why didn't you tell me, saying that the Wehrmacht now actually has 2,900 artillery pieces, and even 40 Junkers are hidden!" Accardo asked with a smile.

"How do you know that the warlords in China will willingly buy your arms, and the United States and Britain will sell them better!" Sickett asked with a frown.

"No one wants China to become strong! Because everyone owes China a blood debt! We are the first to show favor to China, this is a personal favor, although on the surface the Chinese government is inclined to Britain, but our secret actions make the Chinese prefer Germany, right?" said Accardo with a smile.

He raised his wine glass and gave Sickert a humble salute: "And the United States and Britain will only use outdated weapons to pit those self-righteous Chinese bureaucrats, and only we sell advanced weapons and equipment to the Chinese." ”

"Looks like you've thought it through!" said Sickert helplessly.

"You're still worried about the night's training! The 15th Division trained at full strength for the first time, more than 1. 50,000 people, not to be missed!" said Accardo with a smile.

......

"Bell, bell, bell. In the office of the Allied Arms Control Commission in the middle of the night, the phone rang suddenly on the desk of the French side.

The judicial officer on duty suddenly woke up from his drowsiness and grabbed the phone: "This is the Arms Control Committee!

"Sue you! Listen carefully! Berlin! The 15th Division of the Wehrmacht in the suburbs, there is a night training tonight, you can go to spot checks, their numbers are strictly exceeded! About 1. 50,000 people! Don't ask me who I am!
