Time flies so fast, a year has passed in a blink of an eye. As if forgotten, Accardo was left behind by Germany in an office on the edge of Hamburg, accompanied by two chairs and a brand-new typewriter.

The typewriter had been bought by Accardo with his salary, and it was considered private property, because the depressed German industry and the almost wiped out army budget would not equip a second lieutenant with such non-combat-related typing gadgets.

During this period, Accardo received a letter from Hitler, saying that he had achieved a little success in Munich, that his speeches were appreciated by many dignitaries, that the capitalist group that secretly helped Hitler was already quite large, and that at this moment, Accardo was still only a second lieutenant stationed in the suburbs of Hamburg, and his position did not change for a whole year.

However, in the distant Scottish Sea, a knight stabbed his first sword against the Treaty of Versailles.

About seventy German warships were escorted to England, where they awaited division by the world powers, and these warships, which had suffered so much to the British at the Battle of Jutland, were now about to become weapons of the enemy.

The fierce British soldiers boarded these German ships, escorted groups of German sailors from their posts with rifles, and these soldiers were about to be repatriated, they lost the opportunity to challenge British sea power, and in frustration and helplessness, they lined up in a line and walked off their beloved battleship.

"Push, push, push

On the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, an old hand grabbed the telephone, and a very tired and firm voice sounded: "I am General Ludwig, I do not want to water the enemy's flowers with German blood, and now I order, all officers are on standby at Tonghaival, ready to carry out my next instructions." ”

After General Ludwig von Ruth had finished the order, he hung up the phone, looked feebly at the three officers standing in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It's over, gentlemen, our fifty years of hard work, as long as I give an order, will all sink to the bottom of the sea." ”

"Sir, we have fought with you in all directions, and we have obeyed countless orders from you, but this order has humiliated us, but we have to carry it out. One of the officers gave a standard Prussian military salute and said heavily.

The other officer also straightened up, and his voice was loud: "We will never give up our ships to the British! I would rather sink with the ships!"

General Ludwig waved his hand and motioned for them to stop: "Major General Wells, have most of the sailors been sent home?"

The middle-aged man who did not speak among the three officers stepped forward and replied: "General, more than half of the soldiers have been sent by the British, and in a few days, our number will be even smaller, and then the plan can be executed." ”

"It's hard to believe that you are willing to stay and accompany my old bones. General Ludwig smiled self-deprecatingly, and stood up with his chair handle: "If this place is completely destroyed by us, it is really hard to say whether the British will let us go." I would love to follow you back with the sailors, you are all rare talents in the German Navy. ”

"We have been in the service of the High Seas Fleet all our lives, General! If Heaven arranges for the destruction of the High Seas Fleet, I hope I will accompany it for the last mile. The first officer to speak said with tears in his eyes.

"Colonel Gubo, thank you. Ludwig smiled reluctantly.

On June 21, 1919, on a peaceful day, General Ludwig picked up the phone with a trembling hand and gave the most important order of his life: "Operation Rainbow begins!

The petrel chirped in the distance, a qiē still so natural, the sea breeze blowing on everyone's face, and two British soldiers were smoking on the deck of a German destroyer. Not far away, three officers in British naval uniforms approached. The two men hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Is it normal?" asked the British officer in the middle with a smile after a military salute, and now every Englishman was smiling because they had won the First World War, and it was all their spoils.

"Report to Colonel Merried! It's normal here! The Germans can't play any tricks!" replied the soldier in a loud voice.

Suddenly the battleship under his feet shook slightly, Colonel Merred frowned, he raised his head to look at the German battleship Frederick the Great in the distance, and suddenly his eyes widened and he didn't know what kind of fright he was in.

"Oh God, the battleship Caesar, how did the battleship Caesar tilt, quick! tell everyone, keep an eye on the Germans! quick!" was a brief silence for about ten seconds before he came back to his senses and commanded loudly.

He waved his hand and motioned to the two soldiers in front of him: "Immediately rush to the engine room! If you encounter a suspicious German soldier, immediately open fire! Now we will take over this ship!"

Before Colonel Merred could finish his sentence, the destroyer G102 at his feet trembled again, and the entire hull began to tilt slightly to the right.

The two soldiers immediately picked up their guns and ran to the engine room, and the two British officers who did not speak also drew their pistols from their waists and hurriedly followed, while Colonel Merried, who was standing on the deck, did not say a word, leaned on the slightly trembling railing, and watched the battleship Catherine not far away begin to sink slowly.

"Who are you? No British are allowed here! We haven't handed over the warship to you yet!" came a hurried German voice behind him.

"Get out of the way!" or we'll open fire!" shouted a British officer.

"Bah!" the shots rang out.

In the distance, gunfire began to be heard, and the entire German High Seas Fleet, which was silent as if it were dead, seemed to come alive again. The Germans relied on the terrain to fight back, using pistols that they did not have to be worn by confiscated officers, and relying on the limited number of rounds to prevent the British from entering the cabin.

Soon, the battleship Frederick the Great, the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, sank, and a huge whirlpool rose on the sea, devouring the entire steel behemoth, and the command flag of the German High Seas Fleet stubbornly fluttered to the end.

Then, the Catherine also disappeared into the sea, and the whole sea was in chaos, and the battleships of the German fleet sank one after another, and the British were caught off guard and began to grab the remaining warships in a hurry.

About 47 German ships, including almost all battleships, sank to the bottom of the sea, and the British rescued only 23 of the more than 70 battleships of the German High Seas Fleet.

Colonel Merred leaned against the railing of the G102 destroyer, smoking a cigarette and looking at the remaining German battleships staggering on the sea. Because of the timely rescue, the destroyer did not sink to the bottom of the sea, and the soldiers killed four German officers and closed the sea valve in time, but the warship had tilted forty-five degrees, and it looked like it was on the verge of sinking.

On a British barge, the remaining German naval officers were imprisoned, confiscated their status symbols with guns and swords, and half of them were even handcuffed, but they all had a smile of victory on their faces, and they succeeded, and the German High Seas Fleet did not fall into the hands of the British and French.

The news flew back to Germany like wings, everyone rejoiced, and as soon as the German diplomats got into action, they tried to get these German heroes who had done amazing things home.

While the shipwreck project, codenamed Operation Rainbow, was being carried out in shock, Accardo was typing a report on his brand new typewriter, and he had done his job so well that every soldier of the 103rd and 105th regiments was now able to face the gas attack calmly.

With the destruction of the High Seas Fleet, the German army has been reduced to 920,000 men, and most of the soldiers have lost their heavy weapons, countless cannons and machine guns have been destroyed, and the German military top brass is already on the verge of collapse. In contrast, the newly formed 103rd Regiment stationed in Hamburg and the 105th Regiment still maintain combat effectiveness and maintain daily combat training.

As the situation spiraled out of control, the 105th Regiment was ordered to rush to the Ruhr area to quell the growing unrest there.

The commander of the 105th regiment, Kreuzer, came to Accardo's office before leaving, sat down opposite Accardo's desk, knocked Erlang's leg, and casually threw his white gloves on the coffee table, he looked at Accardo's new typewriter, and then said: "We will leave for the Ruhr region in the afternoon, and President Friedrich Ebert has found that the old army that has been fragmented cannot complete the task of maintaining law and order, so he ordered the headquarters to transfer the newly formed Wehrmacht." There is more and more chaos. ”

"People will soon find out that such a mess of making noise will only drag their own people back. Only good order can get Germany back on its feet. Accardo said as he typed.

He didn't even lift his head, and Kreuzer on the other side didn't care. He knew that Lieutenant Accardo, who was sitting at the other side of the table, was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable about German politics and military affairs, and that he had benefited greatly from chatting with the second lieutenant, so he did not despise Accardo's low rank.

"Sometimes I even suspect that you were a general, Accardo. Kreuzer smiled and said, "I have written to recommend you, and it is estimated that the letter will arrive in Berlin in the next few days." Good luck. ”

Accardo stopped typing, raised his head and stared at Kreuzer in some surprise: "I've only been promoted to second lieutenant for a year, and even if you recommend me, I'll be shelved because I don't have enough qualifications." ”

"Like you said, for the sake of Germany's future, I have to try. Kreuzer burst out laughing.

The commander of the 105th Regiment, Kreuzer, took his regiment with him, and he really wrote to the new army command in Berlin to praise Accardo's work, and gave Accardo one of his old Prussian sabers as he left.
