Chapter 28: Bloom and bear fruit
"Lieutenant Colonel Akado, I find that I can't see you anymore." Seeckt sat in the shaking car and looked at Akado in the passenger seat.
How should I understand what you mean by this sentence? "Praise or rebuke?" Akado asked with a smile.
"As far as I know, you were just a soldier three years ago—not even a grassroots officer." The file says that you are an orphan, your father is only a middle school teacher, and your mother is a servant, both from the early days of the war with the Dead. Sorry, I'm not trying to uncover your scars. But your talents are even better than those old-fashioned guys in the old army staff headquarters. " Seeckt said wearily, "I sent someone to investigate you; I do not know where you learned these abilities."
"Born." Akado replied with a smile: "I firmly believe that Germany will be strong, so I try my best to work hard."
"A lot of people are working hard, but you are not as high as you are, Lieutenant Colonel Akado." Seeckt closed his eyes and seemed to be waiting for a reasonable explanation from Akado.
"I was stationed in Hamburg for a year; I studied "The Art of War of Sunzi" in ancient China and read "The Theory of War" by Clausewitz. Unfortunately, I understood it and studied it thoroughly, so I know more than anyone and see the future further than anyone. Akado saw Seeckt, opened his eyes, and stared at him as he spoke, shocked and curious.
"So I think that I was sent by God to this world; then it is to revive the National Defense Force!" "This need not be questioned," Akado spoke with a firm tone.
Seeckt looked at Akado for a while, then laughed: "Germany needs someone like you." I will write a letter to Marshal Hindenburg, who will nominate you to be promoted to Colonel of the Wehrmacht. Congratulations, Akado? Rudolph. "
"Thank you! General Seeckt!" Akado said it as a tribute to the Prussian standard military salute.
"Also! "I like what you said to President Ebert today!" Seeckt said triumphantly, "I like the defense force you said was on my side!"
The next day, under the pressure of both internal and external forces, President Ebert declared a state of emergency, elevated the authority possessed by General Seeckt, and gave Seeckt tremendous power as a dictator.
Seeckt did not live up to the expectations of President Ebert and immediately ordered the 1st Division of the National Defense Forces to leave Berlin to suppress the right-wingers in Bavaria. This action was supported and welcomed by local patriots and the people.
The locals warmly welcomed the arriving German Wehrmacht and led the soldiers to help catch the local right-wingers. With the help of these people, the IDF's operations in Bavaria were exceptionally smooth and can almost be described as successful.
And the photos of the National Defense Forces walking on the road riding high-headed horses were also reprinted by reporters from various countries and, for a time, became the propaganda posters of the National Defense Forces.
France is completely speechless. The rumors that the French side claimed that Germany secretly manufactured tanks and cannons have not been confirmed. On the contrary, German equipment, such as bicycles and war horses, is extremely primitive.
The National Defense Force gives the impression that there are no tanks or artillery, and even that the vehicles are of poor quality. The troops use bicycles and horses to travel. They are no different from the level when the First World War broke out. They are not like a modern ones. Even its backward neighbor Poland has a military power hundreds of times stronger than the National Defense Forces.
So after the end of the IDF's operation in Bavaria, the joint arms control committee was abolished by the British and Belgian proposals, and the toughest country, France, was forced to withdraw nearly half of the military observers.
Germany is allowed to produce civilian aircraft, is allowed to develop new armored vehicles equipped with police to suppress riots everywhere, and allows more guns and ammunition to be used to deal with the increasingly dangerous border issue between Germany and France.
The French forces were forced to retreat from the Ruhr area, and the person in charge of the operation was also the proposer, Colonel Charles de Gaulle, who was demoted and assigned to the newly formed French tank force as a deputy's head, and the French government accepted it unconditionally at Christmas. Gustav Krupp, the artillery king, was sentenced to pardon on this day.
Germany couldn't wait to launch two destroyers in the next three months and set up two "new" infantry divisions. The agreement with the United Kingdom and Belgium revised the terms of the Defense Forces in the Versailles Peace Treaty. After the change, the number of the National Defense Army was increased from 100,000 to 120,000, and the number of the Navy was increased from 15,000 to 17,000.
Don't underestimate this little change. This change in history is non-existent. This difficult negotiation was proposed by Akado. Seeckt personally arranged for Foreign Minister Gustave Stlesman. The counterattack against France's diplomatic offensive was carried out. Although the contract has not changed much, this revision is very important.
First, because of this revision, the armory of the Defense Force, which had been declining, began to slowly strengthen. This has increased the total work of the Armed Forces Control Committee, which has only been destroying weapons dozens of times because they need to frequently calculate the destruction and the difference in quantity between manufacturing and the reduction in their number makes supervision more difficult.
Second, because the number of the National Defense Forces has increased, the container of the National Defense Forces loaded with Akado's "Pluto Project" has been expanded, which has made the water deeper and muddier, which has freed the National Defense Forces from more supervision and restraint. It demonstrates that by the end of 1923, the actual number of the National Defense Forces had reached 230,000, roughly twice what Germany should have had.
And Akado was finally allowed to lead troops. In November 1923, Akado was instructed to go to Bavaria to suppress an armed uprising led by Germany, and this appointment was completely passed. He was dispatched to Bavaria. He had just been ordered from Berlin to get on the train. The troops he had commanded had already started operations, and Akado had just arrived at the office prepared for him by the new Bavarian Defense Forces Division 2 to reward him. Documents will be mailed.
He was nominated by Hindenburg for his "excellent performance in this crackdown," approved by the headquarters of the National Defense Force, and officially appointed as a colonel of the German Defense Force.
...
The Allied Arms Control Committee's young French official, who had just transferred here, was writing something at his desk.
"Lieutenant Sneese, there are some documents here. Colonel Grudeau of Belgium is helped by you!"He is waiting for these documents." The young female officer put the documents on the young man's desk, turned, and A handsome French official next to him flirts and scolds.
Lieutenant Sneese picked up the document and saw on the first page the news that Akado was promoted to colonel of the German Wehrmacht, as well as the familiar face in the photo posted on the document.
As he walked, he randomly looked at a stack of thick documents, frowning and remembering the contents in his heart. This document seemed to be about Akado on every page, and it recorded Akado in great detail. In recent months, he participated in the suppression of Bavaria by the German Wehrmacht.
On the last page, it was mentioned that there was a mysterious phone call that twice entered the office of the Armed Forces Control Committee of the Coalition Armed Forces and reported to the National Defense Force. Lieutenant Sneiser's eyes twitched abruptly, and then he closed the document naturally and sent it to Colonel Grudo's office.
On November 5, 1923, Akado, who was having breakfast in the Bavarian office, received a call from Berlin.
"Colonel Akado! This is Major Gascoll, congratulations on your promotion to Colonel! The voice of Major Gascoll came from the phone.
"Thank you," Akado said with a smile.
Over the phone, Major Gascoll's voice suddenly became heavy: "The Falcon sent back a message." Someone inside us leaked the message. The last rhino action that had to be carried out was due to one of the phones and the other.is to remind the arms control committee to stare at you.
Akado didn't speak, as if in a daze. Major Gascoll would have assumed the phone had been disconnected if it hadn't been for his breathing. After about a few minutes, Akado finally said: "Immediately investigate the source of the phone!" The Gestapo's internal investigation is also necessary! "Pull out the mouse that betrayed the country!"
"Yes!" Gascoll said over there.
Hanging up the phone, Akado checked his pistol and then shouted, "Geer! Geer! Come in!"
Gole came in and stood up to salute: "What is it?" Colonel."
"Prepare the pistol!" The intelligence department said we were recently stared at by the Allied Arms Control Committee! "Watch out for safety!" Akado thought and continued: "Preparing luggage! Let's rush back to Berlin! "I'm going to personally deal with the traitor, Supervisor."
"Yes!" Gore turned and walked out of Akado's office.
Akado hurried back to Berlin overnight, and at the train station, he called Hulk, head of the 103rd regiment of the 15th Division, and Kruze, head of the 105th regiment, stationed in the suburbs of Berlin. The command was simple: "If you receive Akado's order, drive into Berlin immediately and use armored vehicles to control all important facilities and departments."
Afterward, Akado took Ger to the headquarters of the National Defense Forces and saw General Seeckt waiting there.
"This discovery proves that our espionage work is very effective." Sister first praised Akado's tactic: "Your work to create the Gestapo is very successful."
"There is nothing to praise, Lord General." Akado frowned. "We just found a nail buried in our bones."
At 8 p.m., the investigation result from the telephone bureau was finally sent to the headquarters of the National Defense Force. At this time, Akado and Seeckt were sitting together, waiting for the result.
"Telephone, telephone, telephone is from, from the office of the presidential secretary... from the office to the joint arms control committee," Major Gascol exclaimed as he opened the folder.
"What did you say?" Seeckt stood up and looked at Gascol, who was standing in front of him.
