A 26-year-old major general in the army, this event is very worthy of celebration in the eyes of everyone. So Gustav Krupp was the host, and countless bigwigs from the business and military circles were invited to a banquet and a grand reception was held.

"A reception for me?" said Accardo with a smile to Krupp's personal butler, who had come to inform him of his attendance.

The butler bowed down and replied in a very humble and polite voice, "Yes, Mr. Accardo, for a cocktail party that has been carefully prepared for you." ”

As Accardo's position within the military grew, the Big German Party expanded rapidly within the Wehrmacht, and more and more officers joined the party, and the weight became heavier and heavier.

Accardo smiled after hearing this, nodded and agreed, "There is no problem, tell Mr. Sù Krupp, I will attend." ”

Bach's music filled the air, and Accardo was talking to several Wehrmacht generals with wine glasses, all of whom were interested in the Greater German Party, some of whom were already loyal followers of Accardo, and some of whom had acquiesced in the party's recruitment of members in their own units. They talked and laughed together, and seemed to be in harmony.

A young major general who could make small talk with five Wehrmacht generals, this major general was also tall and handsome, with short blond hair, and was simply a dream girl tailor-made for girls, and many gorgeously dressed girls and women were already around with wine glasses, presumably to wait for Accardo and the generals to come together to express their admiration for Accardo as soon as the conversation between the generals and the generals was over.

However, this attempt was thwarted by an uninvited guest, and Karl Bentz, president of Daimler-Benz, stepped into the small circle of speakers and politely apologized: "Excuse me, everyone, I have something to do with Mr. Accardo? ”

He called Accardo Sir because he was not only a Wehrmacht officer, but also the party chairman of the Greater German Party. As a businessman, he prefers to strengthen Accardo's second identity rather than an officer.

Most of the generals were from aristocratic backgrounds, and they politely took their wine glasses and drank them all, then smiled and dispersed, and were divided up by a group of women who couldn't help but be lonely.

"What's the matter?" asked Accardo with a smile.

Carl Benz took a sip of his wine before saying, "You bought about 54 percent of our company's stock, and it's my boss, and of course I'm looking for the boss to do things for the boss." ”

Accardo shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "I've never considered you my subordinate, I've always considered you my friend. ”

"That's how great you are, you treat us as friends, but we are in awe and obey your leadership, we have a good relationship, and we are very efficient. Karl Benz laughed: "I'm here for your private business. ”

"What private business can I have? I go back to my apartment every day after work, and I have to read more than two dozen ledgers and plans in one night. Accardo saw Karl Benz talking about serious business, so he had to say helplessly.

Carl Benz smiled and said, "Accardo, don't you think it's a problem for you to do this?"

Accardo was stunned for a moment and looked at his men, "What's the problem? What can I have?"

"A 26-year-old major general of the Wehrmacht, with too high an official rank, is very problematic. Carl Benz said, shaking his glass.

"Because when I was 26 years old, many 50-year-old men didn't do it for 20 years. And if it weren't for Sickert blocking Wen Jiàn, who promoted me, I would have been a major general by now. Accardo said with a smile.

"But you're not married. Carl Benz pursed his lips and made a regretful look to Accardo.

"What's wrong with not getting married?"

Karl Benz laughed: "The problem is big! A 26-year-old Wehrmacht major general has his own famous car and mansion and his own company, but there is no girl to pursue it, which is very problematic in itself!"

"What's the problem?" asked Accardo with a smile.

"If you continue like this, there will soon be rumors that you are gay in various places! Believe me! Maybe some of the sons of wealthy families will take the initiative to contact you! I heard that many of them like this tune. Karl Benz leaned into Accardo's ear.

Accardo argued, "But I like women!"

"Who can prove it to you?" asked Carl Benz, spreading his hands.

"What proof is this? What do you think I can do? I usually just work in the office, and spend most of my time in the barracks with a group of big men, how can I have so much spare time to meet girls!" said Accardo, a little annoyed.

If it were possible, no hero would want to solve it by himself, would he? Accardo shouted in his heart: I also want to find a beautiful blonde and blue-eyed woman! I haven't seen a few women until now! I chose this way?

"That's why I'm here!" said Carl Benz, proudly proclaiming himself.

"You're here, what do you want to do?" Accardo looked at the man in front of him warily: it can't be a, right?

"Don't get me wrong! I'm here to tell someone else! I have a 19-year-old daughter in charge of the sales company in Austria, who is the most beautiful and generous girl I have ever met. Daimler hastened to clarify that he didn't have any special hobbies.

Without saying a word, Accardo looked at his subordinates there and gushed: "You must like that girl's temperament, I saw it once and I was moved by that beautiful appearance! You don't know that the latest car of our Mercedes-Benz company will be named after that girl, Mercedes-Benz, how about it?

Accardo smiled, he knew that the meat show was still coming, and the capitalists did not want to find a place to eat and drink when they paid for a drinking party, but to rely on this drinking party to get more benefits, and they never made loss-making investments, including inviting people to dinner.

"What other good is there if I see her?" said Accardo, glancing at his men and shaking the wine glass in his hand.

It was a bargain, a balance of interests and a marriage of interests, and the recent unprecedented growth of the Wehrmacht military in the Greater German Party, and the need for balance among the businessmen, led to this conversation between Daimler and Accardo.

"You'll get more businessmen to finance you, and people will feel that you're an indispensable part of balancing the economy and the military, and you'll have more businessmen who will believe that under your leadership, the Greater German Party will be fairer. They will consider joining, or they may not object to their children joining. ”

"I need them to be more active, like stop funding the Nazi Party. Accardo glanced at Daimler and rolled out his chips.

Daimler nodded: "They will stop funding any political party, because the Greater Deutschland Party is the party that represents their interests." ”

"Well, you've convinced me! Bring her to meet me when you have time, and I've found that you really ought to bring your own female companion to such a feast, so that the flies don't wander around. Accardo surprisingly agreed.

Not only did the businessmen need to balance the growing military power, but Accardo also needed more support from the merchants, and he had to get more support in order to fight back effectively in the face of the Nazi Party's challenge. In the words of the political class, this is called bourgeois compromise.

"Thank you for your understanding, here is a small gift from several deacons of the German Chamber of Commerce. Daimler smiled and handed Accardo a check, the number on the check he had seen, it was not a small amount.

"Half is left to you as an advance payment for the development and production of new aircraft engines. Accardo glanced at the number on the check and handed it back to Daimler: "You transfer the other half to the head of the MAN company, and the balance of the secret weapons of the Wehrmacht should be settled." ”

Sometimes Accardo really feels like a fool, and before he can put millions of bribes in his pocket, he squandered all of them on the so-called **** business. The Wehrmacht was unable to make ends meet, and he had to use every money he received to arm his own troops.

Seeing Daimler walking away happily, Krupp and Streismann walked over together, and it seemed that they had received good news from Daimler, with a bright smile on their faces, like two Millers.

"President Accardo, I am very pleased to hear of your choice! Your wisdom shines brightly! You will have the support of the Chamber of Commerce and all the consortia. Krupp patted his chest and promised: "If you run in the next election, I can mobilize at least 200 businessmen to fund your candidacy." ”

"You have won the favor of government officials, who have privately assured me that they will not interfere in the activities of the Greater German Party in the inner workings of the government, or at least they appreciate your open-mindedness. Streisman also said happily on the side.

Accardo looked at the two men and said, "I have agreed to the demands of the businessmen and politicians, and then the Greater German Party will receive a corresponding reward from them!"

"In return?" asked Krupp, puzzled and nervous.

"Let your company, even your relatives and friends, join the Greater German Party, and we will step out of the shadows and stand in front of the stage to meet the challenge of an enemy. Accardo stiffened his face and said fiercely, "Down with the enemy who is blocking us!"

After thinking about it, Stlesmann nodded: "I'll do it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will make a brief statement tomorrow announcing my membership in the Greater German Party." ”

Krupp was silent for a while, and finally agreed to Accardo's suggestion: "I understand, all the workers in the Krupp factory will take the oath and join the Greater German Party." ”

Accardo stood up: "Then we have a lot to do tonight, for example, to give the Greater German Party a clear party program!"
