Just as Britain's maritime interests are inviolable, Germany's borders need to be secured. We need a justifiable expansion of the Wehrmacht to defend against threats from Poland and the Soviet Union. Recently the French have been showing more and more of their aggressiveness, so Germany needs strength to defend itself from aggression. After saying that, Accardo looked at Smith, who was a little embarrassed.

Smith was silent, he was eager for Germany to reach a naval deal with Britain to reduce the pressure on naval build-up, the First World War had already stretched Britain's finances, and the strategic goal of maintaining the world's largest navy was not an easy task. But once the German Navy withdrew from the competition, even if it built a few fewer warships, the British Navy could save a large number of warships to deal with the growing Italian and American navies.

After thinking for a long time, Smith finally spoke: "Are you sure that this Wehrmacht will be deployed on the border from Germany to Poland?

"Our neighbour Poland has 600,000 regular troops and more than 1,000 aircraft, do you think our demands are excessive? As long as the British government understands our behavior, then Germany will increase a force of 100,000 men to defend against the threat from the east, none of these troops will be added to the German-French border, but we will require at least one armored unit and a small number of aircraft. Accardo said as he took out a copy of the text and handed it to Smith, motioning for him to take a look.

Smith glanced at the cover and was stunned, because the title of this article turned out to be, he excitedly grabbed the article and carefully flipped through the terms.

It clearly states that Germany plans to secretly arm 250,000 soldiers to deal with the growing threat from the East and the aggressiveness of France, and the whole plan only expands the Wehrmacht to a limited extent, so that it has a certain defense capability, and what makes Smith very happy is that most of the German naval expansion plans are destroyers used to defend ports, and the caliber of the guns is mostly small toys of 150 mm caliber.

Smith was even more pleased that even the 150 mm guns were intended to be abandoned by the Germans, and those 88 mm guns were not at all a threat to British battleships - as for the torpedo, its range of several thousand meters was simply scrap metal compared to the British cannons with a range of more than 20 kilometers.

"I'm going to report back to London before I can get back to you!" Colonel Smith asked, closing the text and standing up.

Accardo pointed to the text in Smith's hand and said: "Don't mind if I take it back, for the Wehrmacht, this is still a confidential document, if it weren't for such a bad thing, I wouldn't want to take it out to a foreign officer." ”

"Since you can show me, why don't you give it to me, and I will rely on it to convince our officials. Smith waved the text in his hand and asked, "Is that okay?"

"Well, I hope this article can be exchanged for peace. Accardo sighed and said helplessly.

"Peace. Oh! Smith walked over to his cupboard, took out two glasses, poured whiskey, handed one of the glasses to Accardo, and then raised his glass: "To peace." ”

"To peace!" Accardo smiled and raised his glass.

......

The French were completely dumbfounded, in Germany they were faced with an overwhelming condemnation, everyone seemed to be talking about things, demonstrations against the catastrophe that France had imposed on Germany were everywhere, Germans did not buy French goods, did not eat French food, and even attacked the French in the streets.

If it was only Germany that was so resistant to France, it would have been easier to do, because after all, France had resorted to thunderous means against the Wehrmacht this time. But first the Dutch sided with the Germans, and the French suffered a small loss. Subsequently, the British expressed their understanding of Germany's situation, and some parliamentarians even proposed to revise it. After a series of diplomatic mediations, the German Foreign Ministry described the situation of Germany, a victim country, as extremely miserable, which aroused widespread sympathy from the international community, and for a time France became a lonely man.

The Netherlands was unwilling to surrender its own interests, and helped the Germans destroy the evidence, leaving France without the means to attack for a while, and then the Dutch statement directly slapped the French in the face.

The Wehrmacht then came forward to clarify the matter, declaring that there was no attempt to violate it, and then vented his bitterness to the media, pointing to the map and saying that one of his soldiers needed to patrol 4 kilometers to maintain the entire German border.

The British shot in the back made the French even more unspeakable, and the German unilateral compromise with Britain satisfied Britain, and the exchange of naval strength for land strength was also very much in British interests, which had always hoped that Germany and France would constrain each other and have no time to care about the sea.

Seeing Britain's statement, Belgium also turned to Germany that afternoon, and even took the initiative to convene the British and French ambassadors in order to sell well, and put forward a proposal to revise with Germany.

Later, German President Hindenburg delivered a speech at the Presidential Palace, encouraging the German people to break free from their shackles, and in good faith accepted the proposal proposed by the Belgian envoy to revise it again, and trumpeted the unparalleled friendship between Germany and Belgium and Britain. Towards the end of his speech, he concluded with a personnel appointment, in which Major General Arcardo Rudolph* was appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht for his meritorious service, and was in charge of the negotiations with the representatives of Britain, France and Belgium.

Under the instigation and instruction of Britain, there was a false and false reconciliation by Japan, as well as bargaining with France, and many other results, and after more than five months of arduous negotiations, it was finally agreed and put into effect in December 1925 by the Allied Arms Control Committee.

The Wehrmacht Army has been the biggest beneficiary, and almost all the provisions have been changed, giving Army officers a sense of rebirth.

The new contract stipulates that the German Army will maintain a size of 250,000 troops, will have unlimited access to automatic weapons such as light machine guns and submachine guns, and will allow the Wehrmacht to equip 200 tanks weighing less than 20 tons, while there will be no explicit restrictions on the number of armored vehicles and cars.

Another relaxed condition was to allow Germany to set up an army flying corps, which was responsible for reconnaissance of the German border and the transportation of important military personnel and supplies, and was allowed to equip 40 speed-limited biplanes and 10 transport aircraft.

As a result of the controversy with France, the following articles were added to take care of France's national conditions.

Germany is still not able to deploy its armed forces in the demilitarized zone of the Rhine, and its troops on the German-French border cannot exceed 2 divisions of 30,000 men. At the same time, the newly added German regular army of more than 100,000 will be scattered and deployed on the German border, and will not be allowed to move closer to the French border.

Even though the contract was still a shackle to the German armed forces, Accardo had turned this disadvantage into an effective counterattack, breaking it and opening the door to another expansion of the Wehrmacht.

The first is the size of the Defence Force, with 250,000 troops being recognized and more than 100,000 troops being able to surface in the open, which has effectively alleviated the already fragile secret funding system of the Defence Force. At least 100,000 people can be paid by the government for their salaries and equipment, rather than relying on private fund-raising.

Moreover, Germany was allowed to upgrade its light weapons and automatic weapons, which made the modernization of the Wehrmacht's infantry a big step forward, at least the old and bulky Maxim heavy machine gun and other weapons could be put to life.

The second is that the German team was allowed to use the aircraft, although it was only a pitiful 50, but it was a leap from scratch, which allowed the Wehrmacht system to blatantly train and recruit its own pilots without having to hide them.

The most encouraging thing was that Germany was allowed to build up its own armoured forces, which were less than one-fifth of those of Poland, but the Wehrmacht was able to procure its own tanks and combat vehicles and train its own armoured troops, which was more than twice as good as sneaking around in the mountains of southern Bavaria.

After the negotiations were over, the news reached China, and Major General Arcardo Rudolf* immediately became a household name in Germany, and a photograph of him standing alone in front of a group of diplomats in Britain, France, and Belgium with his back to the camera was published on the front pages of major German newspapers.

The title of the Großdeutsche Zeitung was the most cohesive, and the photo was named "Who wants to follow this man", and it suddenly became the best newspaper to buy, and after 10 reprints, it was still in short supply, and almost everyone in the whole of Germany had one copy of this issue.

People took to the streets shouting Accardo's name and gathered in front of the gates of the Allied Arms Control Commission building for a long time, refusing to leave, this time not throwing anything inside, but raising their right hand and pointing at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

"Cast him into a god that all men admire, a leader who makes everybody crazy. Let these fanatics follow him to the soup. Hugo looked out the window at the crowd chanting Accardo's name, and asked Fanny, who was also looking down at the crowd, "This is what you want?"

"No! not enough! That's not enough!" Fanny was a little short of breath with excitement, and she leaned against the window and said, "Next time, you're going to shoot him more handsomely." ”
