Chapter 259: 259 Chaos
"Accardo, Accardo!" Mercedes threw away the text in her hand, ran over in a panic, and put her hand on Accardo's shoulder and shouted anxiously, hoping that her lover would wake up. Even Mercedes, who was usually the calmest, panicked like the other women when he saw Accardo fall on the table, his face pressed against the table, and a lot of blood flowing.
"Oh my God, blood!" Anna exclaimed, pointing to the blood that had flowed from Accardo, "Quick! Call the doctor!"
"Yes!" Mercedes also came back to his senses under Anna's reminder, quickly grabbed the phone, and shouted in a hurry: "This is the Führer's office! Immediately find the Führer's personal doctor and all the doctors here to the Führer's office!
In a panic, Mercedes forgot about one of the most important issues for a country at war - secrecy. It is a very fatal thing for an important head of a country to suddenly become in health during wartime. What's more, the head of this country is a special one, not only the decision-maker, but also the spiritual pillar of the entire country.
Moreover, Anna, who has a military background, also called Brauchitsch again after Mercedes put down the phone, and told the military boss about the Führer's fainting. The marshal had just returned to his temporary headquarters, and he had to hurry back to the camp of the head of the Stone Castle.
Soon, the doctor, who did not know what had happened, rushed to the Führer's office, and after learning what had happened, he carefully lifted Accardo up from his desk - poor Accardo had been on the table for ten minutes by this time.
However, when the doctor pulled up the Führer, he found that the real cause of the Führer's bleeding was a ruptured nasal cavity caused by his nose hitting the table. Of course, there is a more colloquial name for this condition, which is called nosebleeds. Of course, the doctors still don't know if Accardo has a more serious illness in his head.
After a brief treatment, the doctor helped Accardo stop the nosebleed and began to examine Accardo's internal injuries. Of course, there were more and more people in Accardo's office at this time. There were the Führer's security guards, other doctors who arrived, and Accardo's economic advisers, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of the Interior, who had accompanied Accardo to the Stone Castle, and even a minister of the Greater German Party.
Of course, after some examination, the doctor very conservatively estimated the Führer's condition, and said to the Führer's wife, Mercedes: "Your honorable lady, the Führer's breathing is now very stable, and there is no abnormality in the pupils...... The heart beats a little fast, but of course it doesn't affect anything...... In addition, his eye bags were a little dull, which was probably caused by lack of sleep...... He may have been in a temporary coma because of his unusually excited feelings, or he could have fallen asleep due to fatigue...... Of course, I can't estimate how long he'll have to sleep, unless he can wake up on his own, otherwise this state will probably continue. ”
In the end, he said very pertinently: "If the Führer wakes up, you can drink some sugar water and eat a little light food." Of course, it is more important to soothe his emotions and avoid such emotions. ”
However, politicians who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic have interpreted another meaning in this passage. Soon a message was transmitted through various channels to the Führer's office in the Stone Castle and flew to all corners of the Third Reich. Some are beginning to liaise with potential forces to support themselves for the next head of state, while others are beginning to worry about Germany's future and begin to prepare for the signing of a peace agreement.
One of the army's most luxurious generals' cars parked at the gate of the stone fort, Brauchitsch got out of the car with his bright red marshal's scepter, and the two officers who had deliberately come out to greet him immediately stood up and saluted: "Long live the Führer!"
"What is going on? I hear that the Führer fainted from overexcitement after hearing the news of the victory of the Navy?" asked Brauchitsch, taking off his overcoat and handing it to his lieutenant, as he stared at the two officers who had rushed out to meet him.
An elderly general stepped forward and whispered: "There is already chaos inside, the Führer is unconscious, and there is no one to preside over the overall situation." We feel that if the Führer is called by God and leaves us, only the marshal can preside over the overall situation. Our war of revenge against France will continue, and Germany will see you as the new Führer after victory. ”
"Are you crazy? How can anyone replace the Führer? If there is any problem with the Führer now, we will all be finished!" Brauchitsch said angrily: "You have a brain in water? At this critical juncture, you are still thinking about how to gain power? If I sit in the Führer's position, I will not dare to go to war if I am given another 100 divisions!"
Glared at the old general Meng Lang: "Take 10,000 steps back, I would also prefer to let that old man Augustus go up! Do you think that position is so easy to sit on? Without the strength of the Führer, anyone who sits on it will be burned to pieces! So if you don't want to be hanged by the piano wire, keep your mouth shut, and you will be a dumb person for the next twenty years." ”
He frowned as he lifted his legs up the steps. As he walked up, he looked at his adjutant: "Go to the guardhouse immediately, let all officers and soldiers return to their posts, no martial law, but you must control all exits...... Then you go to the telegraph room and send a telegram to Chancellor Augustus, to Krupp, Shacht, Jelinik Kasia, to Reinhardt of the SS, Fanny of the Propaganda Department, and to the commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Forces, saying that the Führer is all right, and that they should rush to the stone castle to report on their work. ”
"Marshal, if the Führer wakes up, it will be against you to do so. The adjutant reminded.
"Then change the last sentence...... Let them not act rashly. Brauchitsch nodded in agreement: "Then in my name in the army, there is only one sentence: any rumors about the Führer's health are spread by enemy spies!"
"Yes. The adjutant saluted and retreated. Brauchitsch entered the corridor and, under the horrified gaze of some of the lower ranks around him, pushed open the door to the Führer's office and entered.
The next day, the news spread almost throughout the country. Mercedes and Anna knew what a big problem the two of them had in a panic. Now even at the front lines there was news that the greatest German leader, Führer Accardo Rudolf, had fallen ill at the time of the victory of the German army on all sides. He fainted at work and was in poor health.
Although the military top brass later released the news that this was a rumor, the news continued to spread at an alarming rate. It even affected the operational situation in some local areas. Of course, the Führer's illness did not cause much controversy in the German military and political hierarchy: Chancellor Augustus flew to Stone Castle as soon as he received the news; Krupp continued his tour of German industrial results with a glance at the telegram; Schacht went on to supervise his plan to exchange Mifu vouchers for Huàn Mark; Jerynnik was in Munich for the Volkswagen subsidiary - Fanny believed it, so she took August's Chancellor's plane and went to Stone Castle to see the girl of her dreams......
The protagonist of the whole event, the head of the Reich, our protagonist Accardo, does not know what is happening, he faints solidly, dreams of the beautiful student sitting under the podium in the previous life, smiling sweetly at him, dreaming of Anna holding him after the victory of the Rhineland, dreaming of him falling out with the delicate Mercedes after his marriage, dreaming of Hitler's eagle-like eyes when he left his office.
It was only an hour after he fainted that the two telegrams he had ordered were sent in the name of the Imperial High Command, but it was not too late, and Raeder immediately ordered him to return and slip out of the encirclement of the British Royal Navy. The red-eyed Royal Navy pursued Raeder for 2 days before finally abandoning the operation.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the German Führer Accardo, who had been in a coma for one day and four hours due to excessive fatigue and nervousness, woke up. He felt the ruddy and soft rays of the setting sun shining on his bedroom balcony facing west, and he opened his eyes and began to search for his familiar one.
Soon he saw the people standing in front of his bed, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, but found that his face was very stiff. He stretched out his buried hand and touched his nose, which was protected by something on the mat, and then remembered what had happened.
"I'm sorry! Accardo muttered as if pinching his nose, struggling to his feet, sitting up with the help of Mercedes, Anna, and Fanny, and suddenly feeling that he was refreshed after so much rest. So he added, "I'm fine! ”
"My Führer, I suggest that you respond immediately to this incident. Fanny frowned and said, "The news of your fainting is now known to almost all of Germany." ”
"We have to think of a way to stabilize the situation in Germany. The military also needs news that you are safe and sound. Marshal Brauchitsch, who was standing aside, nodded.
"It's not easy to settle down, if it's just a rumor, then there will still be sensitive people thinking nonsense. Fanny said very trickily: "The current state of the Führer, even the broadcast effect is not necessarily good. ”
Augustus, who was sitting on the edge of Accardo's bed because of his old age, thought about it and came up with his own plan: "Then we will frame the blame for Britain and France! We will make the Führer admit that he is wounded! This time the reason for the injury was a sneak attack by British spies, and the Führer was only wounded in the nose!"
"That's a good idea! It would have been better if the Führer had been wounded and had patrolled the front line. Fanny nodded.
"Let's do it. Accardo agreed.
