Germany, Poland, Wolf's Lair.

Accardo, the head of the Third Reich, was walking briskly down the corridor, and an officer chased after him. He didn't stop until he walked a short distance in front of the Führer, then he raised his arm and saluted: "Führer Rudolph? Long live Aka! The latest battle report from the front line just arrived......

"Read!" Accardo looked a little anxious, behind him, Anna helped him carry his coat and briefcase, apparently just now, the Führer had an urgent matter and wanted to go out immediately, but was delayed by the battle situation from the front. Accardo frowned, then instructed the comer to finish the telegram quickly.

"Army Group G has exchanged fire with the Soviet Union in a cluster moving south, and the fighting between the two sides is very fierce, and yesterday Army Group G lost 51 tanks......" the officer immediately opened the telegram, recalling the latest situation from the Battle of Kursk: "Our defense line was forced to move back 30 kilometers......"

"I see! Tell Guderian to try to hold off the Soviet troops moving south, so that Quchler's Army Group N has enough time to take Stalingrad. The battle of the fate of the empire is won or lost in one fell swoop. Accardo interrupted the other party's report and spoke. Regarding Kursk, he has done his best, and now all he can do is wait for a result.

After saying this, Accardo continued to walk forward, and said as he went: "I am going back to Berlin now, and if there is anything I can contact the Führer's Mansion directly." The matter at the front was entrusted to the two marshals Brauchitsch and Rundstedt, so that they could pass on the situation to me as soon as possible. ”

For some reason, in every decisive battle on the German front, Accardo didn't seem to have had the luck to stay on the front line where he should have stayed the most. At the last battle in Poland, the Accardons were in the rear, and the last time they were not on the Eastern Front for other reasons.

Just a few hours ago, Accardo was still anxious about the upcoming Battle of Kursk, but it turned out that something even more painful came to him, the old man Augustus, far behind Berlin, was seriously ill and had reached the point where he would die at any time.

For this old man, who was also a teacher and a friend, and similar to half an elder, Accardo was respectful and had countless things to say to him. So when he heard that the German chancellor was running out of time, his first reaction was to rush back to Berlin and finally see the old man.

Dominis has taken over most of the German chancellor's duties, and since there are no new policy changes, no new problems have arisen for the time being. Accardo felt that it was necessary to meet the old man Augustus in person at this time, after all, there were so many things that he needed to preside over in person.

Hearing the news that Old Man Augustus was critically ill, Accardo's mood was a little unstable, because after so many years of training, he seemed to be a little nervous and uneasy. So he decided to leave the front line in full swing and return to Berlin first to stabilize his base camp.

In the special airfield by the wolf's den, an airplane that had already been prepared was waiting on the tarmac, and the surrounding SS officers were five steps to one post and ten steps to one sentry, and many SS officers were waiting next to the Führer's plane until the Führer's car drove into the airport.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" everyone raised their right hands as Accardo got out of the car. Accardo, accompanied by the guards and the secretary and various members of his entourage, stepped onto the landline with the engine already started.

The plane quickly flew into the sky, and then the escort fighters densely arranged a tight defensive formation around the Führer's plane, and 10 fighters covered Accardo's plane, and flew towards Berlin, the most core area of the empire, so quickly.

"Don't worry, Old Man Augustus will be fine. Anna squeezed Accardo's hand on the plane and comforted him.

Accardo looked out the window of the plane, watched the white clouds pass by his wings, sighed before he spoke slowly: "Old man Augustus has never let others tell me about his condition...... This time he didn't stop me, and Mercedes didn't fear that I would be distracted, so it proves that the old man's side is real...... It's really dangerous. ”

Seeing Accardo's uncomfortable appearance, Anna couldn't help but lower her head, she knew the old man Augustus before Accardo, and this old gentleman was recommended to Accardo by him. And since this old man entered Accardo's circle, he has indeed become the second person in the Accardo Group, helping Accardo deal with many difficult internal affairs problems.

It's a pity that the old man has been 71 years old since he entered the circle of Accardo. If God had made him twenty years younger, the Third Reich would have created a miracle in his hands that the whole world could only look up to.

This is no less than letting Accardo lose dozens of divisions of troops, because what kind of problems existed in the entire empire, no one knew better than Accardo. He can change the strength of a country's army in a short period of time, and he can also expand a country's industrial production capacity in a short period of time, but he also has something that he can't do, that is, to use skillful means to bridge all kinds of conflicts and rifts within the entire empire.

Accardo is powerful, and he can suppress all discord within the empire, but he cannot eradicate these hidden dangers of the future. Augustus was one such person who could help Accardo improve his internal affairs. And the sad thing is that now this vital talent is about to leave him because of the day and the year.

Myself, there are many, many questions to ask this wise old-timer. Accardo screamed in pain in his heart. He really had countless things that he didn't understand or didn't dare to consider, and he wanted to ask this old man who was familiar with the internal affairs of the empire. To ask at least a few fatal questions, a few questions that concern the future of the entire empire, require Augustus to give his opinion.

This is also an important reason why Accardo left the front line and rushed back to Berlin, at least compared to Augustus, the battle situation on the front line does not look so terminally ill. Therefore, Accardo decisively abandoned the Kursk on the Eastern Front, which was in a fierce battle, and resolutely rushed back to Berlin, which was already in a pleasant climate.

The plane flew over Berlin in Accardo's intermittent thoughts. The Führer's plane slowly took up its place on the tarmac, and a group of Imperial Interior Dignitaries gathered around and waited on both sides of the Führer's cabin door.

The hatch opened, and Anna was the first to step out of the cabin, followed by Accardo himself. So everyone raised their arms and shouted the slogan so familiar that they had dreamed of it three times: "Long live Führer Accardo!"

"How's going on with the Prime Minister?" Accardo waved his hand casually, signaling his men to stop talking nonsense. There were many people who greeted him, and the first one was Dominis, the new prime minister of the empire, who was about to take office, so Accardo didn't ask anyone else, and asked directly to the proud protégé of the old man Augustus.

"The prime minister is in a bad situation and his state is quite precarious. He was still unconscious before we came...... But please rest assured, the best doctors and instruments in the world have been prepared for the old man. Dominis replied immediately. Obviously, he was very familiar with the treatment process of Old Man Augustus, and immediately introduced Accardo to several doctors in charge of Old Man, as well as experts and elites from the medical university.

"I don't care what method you use, you must cure Old Man Augustus for me. This is an order from the Empire, do you understand?" Accardo gave his own order, which seemed a bit difficult for a strong man. But for the other commands, this time the coercion seemed to be the gentlest one.

The convoy was quickly launched, and Accardo drove all the way back to the city of Berlin in the most luxurious Führer's special car, leaving the leader of the Greater German Party in Berlin and other high-ranking officials standing in the hospital corridor waiting for not many people, but the room was the Reich Chancellor, and the Reich Führer was about to arrive in the corridor, which was another matter.

The anxious Accardo did not rest, nor did he go anywhere else, but walked directly to the old man Augustus's hospital room, and then he motioned for others to gently lift a chair and not disturb Augustus, who was closing his eyes.

Looking at the emaciated old man, Accardo's eyes were a little astringent, and he motioned for everyone else to leave the room, and he sat silently by the bedside, waiting for the old man to open his eyes.

He remembered the smiling look in the old man's eyes when he hinted that he was emperor. Just like Sickert, who died in depression in China, they have all done things for their beloved motherland all their lives. In their own way, right or wrong, they fought for their ideals all their lives.

In front of the old man's bed, there was a stack of newspapers from all over the world, and at the top was an American newspaper that carried the news of the American victory over the Japanese defenders in the Australian outback.

Every nation has its own hopes, and if the United States has its own heroes, and Japan has its own heroes, then Germany has many more heroes, and each one is not inferior. At least the old man was on the bed, and Accardo was willing to trade a few battleships, and Accardo was willing to trade for the latest jet fighter blueprints.

"Ah...... It turned out that you were back. As if sensing that there was a person sitting next to him, the haggard Augustus squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and said softly: "My Honorable Emperor's Majesty...... You're back. ”
