Chapter 11 11 Hades Project
In the center of the round table, there was a plan with a white cover, covered with a bright red seal, and a line of German text showed that this document was top secret.
In the center of the cover of the plan, the code name of the plan is written, and the god of death in charge of the Netherworld is in charge:.
On the other side of the round table, several military representatives looked so calm and relaxed, their old gods were holding teacups, as if watching a play, watching the politicians on the opposite side shouting loudly, and from time to time let out a sneer to show their disdain.
The politician at the head banged on the table, pointed to the plan, and shouted angrily: "What is this? What exactly are you military going to do? This is not a disarmament plan at all! This can keep more than half of the entire German army!"
It was the President of the current German government, Ebert, who spoke, and his speech immediately drew a chorus of approval, and another politician immediately stood up: "Look at it! What is written on it? Ahhh The deployment of spies on such a large scale will cause international disputes!"
As he spoke, he raised the copy of the document in his hand and slapped it vigorously, making a crackling sound: "Do you still want to secretly place officers in government civilian posts? Do you want to arrange 700 officers above the rank of major and 3,000 officers above the rank of second lieutenant in one go? Do you want to set up a military government?"
"Sir, I want you to think carefully before you speak! If you speak for the government, then the Wehrmacht will carefully consider its attitude towards the government!" General Sickt did not look at the person who spoke at all, and he spoke in a very calm tone, but President Ebert immediately stood up and pulled back to his seat his colleague who was still standing stunned and yelling indignantly: " We all understand the Wehrmacht's plight, and we support the clandestine development of the Wehrmacht to protect Germany's basic security, but the Allied Arms Commission will not let such a sweep of destruction take place on such a large scale!"
"How to deceive the Coalition Commission supervisors is a matter for our military, and what we need now is the unreserved support of the government in all aspects!" General Sickert snorted, interrupting Ebert's complaints.
"There is a sub-plan to train pilots and tank pilots abroad, and this involves diplomatic issues, and we cannot help, and once a meeting at the ambassadorial level takes place, it is impossible to keep the content of the negotiations secret!" The foreign minister did not object loudly, but only raised his own difficulties on practical issues.
Sickert glanced at Accardo, who was standing straight behind him, and motioned for him to come out and explain his plan.
Accardo knew it was his turn to make the move, and he had to make the plan work and get the most support, because without the support of the government, the road to the revitalization of the Wehrmacht would be full of thorns.
He stepped forward and held his head high: "Gentlemen, this plan will be completed by the military itself, we will directly contact the countries we are interested in, and then sign a secret agreement, which will not involve government departments, even if it is discovered, everyone in the government can completely shirk their responsibilities." â
"Responsibility, the word responsibility is simple, but do you know what kind of price you have to pay?" An old man who had not spoken for a long time, looking a little dazed, suddenly spoke.
He had two majestic beards, and wore the uniform of the German Army, which looked a little tight on him, because he was so burly that he sat there like a hill.
The badge on his shoulder made him look so different, and the golden decorative line swayed slightly, and he was the veritable first person of the German team, the old field marshal Hindenburg.
Accardo straightened up again, saluted the old marshal in the straightest position he could, and slammed the heel of his leather shoe with a crisp sound: "Marshal!
"Soldiers who are prepared to sacrifice often survive! The old marshal snorted softly, then glanced at General Sickert, and asked a question that seemed to be off topic very casually: "How long has he been a major under you?"
"It's been seven months. Sickert replied respectfully.
"Hmm. Hindenburg nodded: "Almost, let Lieutenant Colonel Accardo be in charge of the Hades plan, implement the fourth article, this article can be launched immediately, and the rest, you can discuss the implementation plan and leave it to me." â
Ebert raised an eyebrow, Hindenburg supported the plan, and also promoted Accardo to the position of nobody, it seems that the ambitions of the military need to be controlled.
"Marshal, we also support this plan, but we really can't get the billions of marks above now, we can't afford such a huge amount, and we can't hide it from the coalition committee. Ebert, who decided to change his strategy, came up with his killer idea.
"So, since you support this plan, we will take as much as we can!" said Accardo, narrowing his eyes.
The conference was finally concluded in accordance with the wishes of the Wehrmacht, and the dignitaries of the government agreed to provide the entire body of 13 billion Reichsmarks, a large part of which was blatantly distributed to the army in the name of resettlement of veterans.
The money was squandered almost overnight when it reached the F-FDTL's accounts, and it would take a fortune to demobilize the veterans, who could not afford to spend so much even though the Wehrmacht had more than doubled the pace of demobilization.
In the end, even after all the 13 billion funds were distributed, Accardo and Sickert reluctantly found that not a penny was used to buy new weapons.
"That's not going to work!" Accardo was a little frustrated in his office, he couldn't tolerate this plan of funding that was clearly a compromise with the Coalition Arms Control Committee.
He tapped the plan and said, his face full of indignation: "Your Excellency, General! I have already said that to build a new defense force, we need at least 700 new vehicles and new communications equipment! The infantry also needs to be replaced with guns, and the training of the army will consume about 10 million rounds of ammunition every year. â
"We can only carry out these plans in secret! You know? Accardo! Now the Allied Arms Control Committee is keeping an eye on us very closely! We can't do exactly what we planned! Also! Training ammunition can be diverted from the Imperial reserves! Anyway, we won't be able to use these obsolete ammunition in the future! Use it to train soldiers! I can only solve this part for you, and you have to figure out the rest by yourself!" General Sickert spread his hands and said helplessly.
"What about fake accounts, how is it going?" After saying this, General Sickt casually asked Accardo a substantive question.
Accardo unbuttoned his collar, calmed his mood for a while, and introduced: "We have gone to great lengths to make 70 million false accounts in the funds for the disbandment of the old army, and we have received severance expenses from the troops that do not have zĂ i, and we have falsely reported the number of most troops. â
Sickert nodded and praised: "Very good! You have worked hard! Half of this money will be used for Operation Nail, and half will be handed over to those military factories, so that they can continue the research work of new weapons! Although we cannot produce weapons, we must ensure that once they are produced, they will be the best weapons in the world!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" said Accardo.
Sickert smiled with satisfaction and continued to assign tasks: "The first phase of Operation Tack will focus on domestic deployment and monitoring all Wehrmacht opponents!
"Understood!" replied Accardo.
"Your promotion has been approved, and from tomorrow you will be Lieutenant Colonel Accardo?Rudolph, how do you feel?" Sickert asked with a smile and changed the subject.
Knowing that Sickert didn't want to say too much on this issue, after all, it was a top-secret plan, so he also changed the topic: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, right?"
"If you had been born twenty years earlier, perhaps our Emperor would not have had to be so humiliated. Sickert sighed and said, he made no secret of his support for Kaiser Wilhelm in front of Accardo, which showed his trust in Accardo.
Accardo also knew that when Sickert said this, he also had the intention of subtly pulling himself into the circle of royalists, but Accardo was not a loyal guardian of Kaiser Wilhelm, and he preferred to be the leader of the Third Reich rather than a pawn of the Emperor's restoration.
"History has no ifs!Your Excellency, General, I value the future more!" Accardo expressed his position as he avoided Sickert's words.
"The future, I hope the future you are talking about is the future of the German people. Sickett closed his eyes, waved his hand, and hurried Accardo out of his office.
Accardo's promotion ceremony was short and solemn, short because the entire promotion ceremony was held for him alone, which was secret and streamlined. The solemnity was due to the fact that Field Marshal Hindenburg personally awarded the young officer a newly created medal for contribution and promoted him to the rank of lieutenant colonel of the Wehrmacht.
Amid applause congratulating Accardo's promotion, the first phase was fully launched, all 60,000 men of the Black Wehrmacht were disbanded, and 15 divisions of the newly formed Wehrmacht were reorganized in various places.
