In the dark night, in Berlin, the capital of Germany, a crisp gunshot echoed in the night sky, disturbing the tranquility of this moment.

Sirens then sounded, and the sonorous sound of leather boots on the ground was heard from all directions, and the coup d'état, which had been planned for a long time, broke out in March 1920.

"What kind of unit are you? This is the fifth block, and we're going to shoot if we go any further!" shouted the officer, hiding behind sandbags.

"Immediately put down your weapons! This is the army to take over!" The man on the other side was not ambiguous, he took out his pistol and waved, and behind him, a group of fierce and vicious old German army troops with rifles rushed forward.

"Bah!" A bullet hit the sandbag, and the officers and soldiers inside immediately threw out their weapons: "Oh God, don't shoot! We surrender!" The defenders inside obviously lacked the courage to fight, and they thought very simply: to hell with the loyalty, if they die under their own guns, then they are the wrongdoers, whoever does not surrender is raised by his grandson!

At the entrance to the Reichstag, two rows of soldiers with long rifles stood in front of their commander: General Walter von Lutwitz.

"God!" After a lament, the commander of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, Hulk, helplessly dropped the telegram on his desk, and looked at his subordinates helplessly, in his office stood Deputy Regiment Commander Bultz, three battalion commanders: the first battalion commander Vico, the second battalion commander Hans, and the third battalion commander Brude, and the guard company commander Henk Company Commander.

Of course, there was also Lieutenant Aka, who had temporarily belonged to the 103rd Regiment in the last platoon, and he had just heard the news from Berlin that the old army had finally parted ways with the German government, and the soldiers were now in a very delicate position - General Walter von Lutwitz led a part of the garrison in Berlin to capture Berlin, and sent a telegram to all German troops asking for the support of all German troops.

Vico's broad chin was like a Prussian soldier, and he frowned and thought for a moment before he spoke: "I think we should keep silent, it's a bit odd, although they have occupied Berlin, but we had better see the limelight first." ”

"Is there anything else that can be done?" ...... now," Hulk thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but he was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"I'm sorry!" Accardo raised his hand and said, "We should send a telegram immediately, and we should tell everyone that we don't want to be in the same league as the old army!"

"Second Lieutenant! Those are also our German soldiers! Even if we don't help, we will forget it, but if we stab us in the back, we will be looked down upon by the other troops!" said Brude, the commander of the third battalion, glancing back at Accardo.

Accardo glanced at Hulk, then took a step forward and said loudly, "Look down?

"So, why not agree, but against?" Hulk asked, curiously.

"Everyone has read the contents of this call, right? They don't have any follow-up preparations at all, and they haven't even taken care of the things that should be dealt with, I don't want to be buried with such a person, I wonder if you have a hobby of seeking death?" Accardo smiled and shrugged his shoulders in response to Hulk's question.

"What do you mean? Tell me more about it. "There are two nobles among the officers in the room, and four have gone to college, so everyone is very sane. Deputy Head of Mission Bulletz was also intrigued by this statement, looked at Accardo and asked.

"They didn't have a long-term plan at all, they didn't want to set up a government organization with military control, they didn't want to put a puppet to power, and the whole of Berlin was in shambles, and it would be strange if they could succeed in that way. Accardo analyzed the whole incident and said in a single sentence that the action was full of flaws.

"This is considered to be no follow-up preparations, but why do you say that the things that they should have dealt with now have not been dealt with?" Hans, the commander of the second battalion, also couldn't wait to ask.

Accardo glanced at Hans and raised his eyebrows: "If this operation is planned by me, then at least President Ebert should be arrested and arranged for an accident to be killed." Even if the whole world knows that I did it, there is no evidence, so I can only admit it. So that no matter who supported the new president, he would have to thank him for the operation, and the person who carried out the action in the end would not be punished too severely, right?"

"High!" Hulk smiled and gave Accardo a thumbs up, "Like you said, if it was you planning it, then we wouldn't be so indecisive, just follow you and wait for the news of victory." ”

He stood up, walked over to Accardo, and patted Accardo on the shoulder: "But from the standpoint of a soldier, your handling is a little too harsh, and I still hope that you will be less angry in the future." ”

After speaking, he walked to the side of the deputy regimental commander Blötz: "Go to the regimental staff officer, convey my order, send a telegram, and express that our 103rd regiment does not support General Walter von Lutwitz, and we are firmly on the side of the German people." ”

The next day, General Walter von Lutwitz, who did not know which of his aides, had listened to the strange advice of his staff, and finally found an obscure civilian official from among the officials of the German Ministry of Agriculture, who had already resigned, and appointed the man named Wolfgang Karp as Chancellor of Germany on the same day.

Despite the nationwide condemnation, the improvised central government actually got to work, and on the third day, Hamburg received a ridiculous appointment for the promotion of a second lieutenant.

Yes, the commander of the 105th Regiment, Kreuzer, submitted his report praising Accardo to the Berlin government presided over by Ebert before leaving, but because of the distance between the two places, until Ebert took refuge in the suburbs of Berlin, this report was still on the way to the headquarters of the German Army in Berlin.

However, one person received this report, and that was General Walter von Lutwitz, who had already been overwhelmed by the defection of the new army, but who nevertheless decided to approve the reports accumulated in the past few days, as a way to show goodwill to the powerful generals and their subordinates throughout the country.

You see, not everybody has a brilliant head – General Walter von Lutwitz is such a not-so-brilliant general. It is clear that everyone is not optimistic about his political gamble, but he is bent on proving his outstanding "ability" to influence everyone...... Well, you don't need me to say more to know how miserable his next days were.

However, Accardo was one of the few beneficiaries of the chaotic coup, and his commendation report was reviewed, and on the third day of the coup, Accardo received his promotion order.

He was unusually promoted two levels and directly became a captain in the army, and if General Walter von Lutwitz knew that this kid he had promoted unusually was the first person to oppose him, he would probably be to death.

At the same time as Accardo's promotion, a general workers' strike began across the country, because the newly formed Karp government was not recognized by the general population and was not generally trusted by the military, and just five days after the Karp coup, Generals Walter von Lutwitz and Wolfgang Karp were expelled from the presidential palace and became prisoners of the Wehrmacht.

President Ebert returned to power, order was restored in Germany, and the strikes ceased naturally after the victory.

History finally lived up to the German people's desire for power, and after a small joke with Karp, a sophisticated and energetic general was appointed commander-in-chief of the German army.

Three months later, at the age of 54, Major General Hans von Sickt was appointed to take over the German Army and become the new Commander-in-Chief of the German Army. Due to the limitations, the German navy was only 15,000 men, so it can be said that Rear Admiral Sickert was basically the supreme leader of the entire German armed forces.

General Walter von Lutwitz, who had only sat in the chair of the Commander-in-Chief's office for five days, welcomed this typical Prussian soldier named Sickert, a tall, thin figure with a single eye lens on his cheekbones. Major General Sickett was no small obscure character, he rose to prominence in the First World War, and as an officer of the General Staff, he organized the German army to break through the Russian lines at Glis on the Eastern Front in 1915. And for this he was awarded the Prussian Order, Germany's highest military medal of the First World War.

He was once loaned to the Turkish Empire as Minister of Defense, and was one of the representatives of the German army at the time of the signing, and was extremely patient and diplomatic. He is also well-read and experienced, can speak English, French and German Chinese, and is as familiar with music and art as military tactics - the legendary three good students, scholars, or jealous darlings of God.

The reason why he is so important is to pay tribute to those distant history, General Sickt took the first step in the re-emergence of German power, but he is far less famous than the German generals who started the Second World War.

Without further ado, let's get down to business.

Sickert didn't waste much time and came to his office the same day. He skillfully stacked a thick stack of papers in the upper right corner of his desk, tapped his fingers regularly on the edge of the desk, looked at the young assistant in front of him, and gave his first order as commander-in-chief of the German Army: "Order, to promote Captain Accardo Rudolph, an officer of the poison gas prevention group of the 103rd Regiment of the New Wehrmacht of the Hamburg garrison, to a major in the army, and report to the General Headquarters of the Army in Berlin immediately." ”
