Brauchitsch knew that Accardo was very concerned about the war at the front, but he was personally more worried about the French stabbing Germany in the back, and he knew that the Führer seemed to be sure that the French would wait and see for a long time, but he was not so optimistic personally.

He coughed twice before slowly pointing to the map and replied, "My Führer." The next plan of our army was to form two huge encirclements in the north and south, eat the main forces of the Polish field corps, and then march into Warsaw. ”

"Have you been in contact with Gascol? Is there any situation on the Soviet side?" Accardo thought about it, it was better for him not to interfere in the command of the army, and it was completely suicidal to command the movement and combat of hundreds of thousands of troops with his level of seemingly understanding and non-understanding. However, he was more concerned with the specific implementation of the partition of Poland with the Soviet Union.

Brauchitsch nodded and replied: "Just before I came, General Gascol submitted a piece of information to the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht, and our intelligence officers in the Soviet Union received information that the Soviet army's attack on the Polish border had failed, and troops were being mobilized to urgently revise the battle plan. ”

With a sigh of relief, Accardo seemed to be relieved, and the news that the Soviets had blocked their attack could be regarded as a slight comfort to the frustrated Führer Accardo.

He thought for a moment and ordered: "Let the troops complete the interspersed encirclement, and I will see tangible results within a week." ”

"Yes, my Führer! Some of the various oil reserves of the army have already been transported to the front, and the whole army will spend more fuel on the offensive than budgeted. Brauchitsch thought for a moment and suddenly raised a logistical question: "Although there has not been a big mistake in the supply of our army, a larger-scale operation is bound to occur in the future, and the pressure on the entire supply system will be even greater at that time." ”

"This is indeed a problem! It is much more serious than all the problems that arise now. Accardo agrees: "There are a lot of problems that need to be solved, not only in terms of transportation, but also in production. ”

The other day, the head of the SS, Reinhardt Heydrich, presented to Accardo a report on the internal surveillance branch of SS intelligence. If the sinking of the destroyer is only a superficial problem, then there is no doubt that what this report says is an abominable act that shakes the foundations of the Empire.

Accardo saw off his army commander-in-chief, Brauchitsch, stretched, and glanced at Anna, who was following him: "Let's go, go to dinner." ”

Accardo did not return to his home for four days to discuss the various issues of war with Poland, and during this time he was accompanied by Anna, who was in charge of his security, and Fanny was so busy with propaganda that she had not been able to see the head of the empire who had haunted her recently.

"If I were you, I should have gone back to be with Madame Rudolph sooner. Anna said casually as she ate.

"I feel guilty for each and every one of you. Accardo said helplessly: "But now I have to put away this guilt and face the problems that we are about to face! Germany is now in a very dangerous moment, I think I should do my best." As for you and Fanny, I'll give you an explanation when the situation settles down. ”

"When you really fall in love with someone and look at that person silently, you will feel happy in your heart. Anna shook her head and smiled, then sighed: "Your lady is very good in the field of economics, I can see that, Miss Fanny is also in charge of the propaganda department, and she has helped you a lot; only I seem to be doing a job that anyone can do, but I am dispensable." ”

"You are in charge of my safety and protect my life. How can you say that you are dispensable?" Accardo was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded him.

"Listen to what I'm saying. Anna looked Accardo's eyes and whispered, "That's all I can do, because I'm just a woman who learns how to fight and firearms." Even if I were to learn something now, I wouldn't be able to catch up with Fanny and Mercedes. ”

She paused, then continued, "So in my spare time, I thought a lot about what kind of help you lacked. Then I consulted Merkel, Krupp, Brauchitsch, and even Fanny...... Anyway, I asked a lot of people this question, summed up their thoughts, and felt that you now lack someone to help you with specific state affairs. ”

Accardo did not speak, but continued to listen to Anna, knowing that he really lacked such a staff officer who could see the whole picture, to help him correct the general strategic direction, to give him the most perfect advice, to help him check all kinds of problems, to unite the scattered bureaucracy, to unite these small groups that did not like each other, like the prime minister of an empire.

Mainly as a buffer between the Führer and the bureaucracy, so that he does not have to personally charge into battle on some inconsequential trifle. It turned out that Accardo felt that Merkel was this person, but it turned out that he could only do what Accardo asked, Krupp was just a businessman through and through, and Jeylin Nike, although he had some small schemes, did not see the big picture enough, and this person was destined not to be used too much because of Mercedes's relationship.

In this way, Accardo did have a missing No. 2 man, an important figure who could allow him to take a break from the tedious affairs and focus on the direction of German strategy.

So Accardo began to seriously consider Anna's proposal: "If you have any good ideas, let's hear about it." ”

"There is such a person, who was born into the Junker aristocracy, but is incompatible with most of the Junker aristocracy. "He was well educated and had connections in the royal family, the aristocracy, the chaebols, the politicians," Anna said. ”

"Oh?" Accardo has been busy with economic and military construction and development, and has really not seriously looked for German talents, and when he heard Anna say this, he suddenly became interested: "There is such a capable person in Germany?"

"Not just a capable man, this man was also an ardent advocate of the Greater German Party, who had financed the propaganda activities of the Greater German Party in his homeland. "The most important thing is that he is 71 years old this year. ”

"You're talking about Augustus von Bismarck...... The grandson of the iron-blooded prime minister...... "Even though Accardo doesn't focus much on talent, he still knows some important German political figures. This Augustus can be said to be an alternative to the Germans. He was studious at an early age, and in his 60s he supported the secret construction of the Wehrmacht, and his relationship with Sickert was both a mentor and a friend, but this old man was very open-minded and supportive of Accardo's new tactics and weapons.

But then again, no one is perfect, and this Augustus is still a bit of the German's usual rigidity, and his lack of interest in industrial reform and other issues, so Accardo, who advocated comprehensive reform, has never thought of such an old and serious person.

"I remembered. Accardo nodded, ending the conversation: "The meeting is over, I'm going home, you arrange the car." Remember to remind me to bring a good text jiàn. ”

A popular home is not the same as a home that is not popular, and when Accardo came home, Mercedes was pruning a beautiful potted plant by the window. People are more delicate than flowers, and they look beautiful.

"How's it going?" Mercedes asked with a smile when he saw Accardo with a tired face.

"It's fine on the whole, but we just got bad news that one of our destroyers has been sunk and there are a lot of casualties. Accardo said helplessly: "And this loss is entirely the result of the conflict between the army and the navy. ”

"Accardo, you're leading a country! There's no way to stop this from happening. Mercedes laughs: "It's like a company where you can find ways to get departments to work hard, but you can't stop them from competing and squeezing each other." On the other hand, such a thing is also beneficial to your control over the whole country. ”

"I know. Accardo nodded and hugged the slender waist of Mercedes from behind: "I went to the Ruhr industrial area, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's just ...... Found a lot of minor issues. Mercedes was hugged by his lover from behind, put down the scissors used to pick up flowers and plants in his hand with a slight red face, and said softly: "Some second-level OEM enterprises have problems such as leakage of processes, and many front-line troops' tents and insoles, socks and other items have quality problems. ”

"I see, I've been briefed on this. Accardo said hatefully: "These people think that my murderous knife is not sharp! ”

"Don't be too angry, most of the products with quality problems are produced in concentration camps and prisons, and I think you should give the governors of these places an accountability sheet. Mercedes chuckled and said, "As for those civilian enterprises, leave it to me to help you deal with it." ”

"It's just hard for you. Accardo pressed his hands on Mercedes' shoulders, and his palms felt the silky creamy skin: "I may really be an uninteresting man, I am willing to let her go out and run around after marrying such a beautiful wife." ”

"It is an honour to marry the youngest leader in German history. Mercedes was amused by Accardo's love words: "I think it is necessary for you to go to the Polish front once, at least so that all the soldiers know that the Führer is with them." This kind of thing for Fanny to prepare, this kind of thing is still more professional for her. ”

"Well, I'll get ready and rush over early. Accardo nodded, and suddenly asked, "My dear, what do you think of Augustus von Bismarck, and if I made him Prime Minister of the Third Reich, would he refuse?"

"Of course he won't refuse. Mercedes thought for a moment and said, "But I think he's more interested in another role." ”

"What position?" Accardo paused for a moment, looking at his wife.

Mercedes laughed: "The first chancellor of the head of the Third Reich." ”――
