Chapter 27 - crisis
Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
This was a disaster year for Germany in 1923. During this year, Germany seemed to have been in trouble from the beginning.
The first was the French invasion of the Ruhr industrial zone, which caused the entire German heavy industry zone to almost stop production. The defense army ’s revitalization plan was severely frustrated, and it also worsened the German collapsed economy.
The German mark began to depreciate sharply, and the extent of the depreciation was shocking. When German President Ebert responded, the German mark of a trolley was just enough to buy a loaf of bread.
Taking advantage of the financial crisis and the dispatch of French troops to the Ruhr Industrial Zone, the right-wing separatists of Germany jumped out. They organized strikes and even carried out armed riots, conspiracy to seize Bavaria, the largest state in southern Germany, and let the entire Bavarian state autonomous.
The German government was so disappointed that it had not yet mobilized its forces to suppress the Bavarian right-wing separatists. The more serious situation once again worsened the situation of the German government led by Ebert.
In September, when the right-wing separatists became more and more fierce, the left-wing elements also began to create riots on a large scale, shaking the rule of Thuringia and Saxony. It seemed that Germany was to be split into several small countries for a time, and France invaded Germany. The turmoil caused by the Ruhr industrial zone seems to be better than what France expected.
“This is a good opportunity!” Seekert praised Akado sitting on the sofa in his office: “Your plan is perfect! The IDF has more benefits than fighting the French invasion.”
After finishing this sentence, Seekert asked Akado to leave the office, because in the morning the Defence Force held a meeting to discuss again how to deal with the crisis of the French invasion of the Ruhr area. The meeting was personally chaired by Hindenburg, which is very important.
Of course, the members of the meeting are all general-level, so small roles like Akado have no opportunity to participate. Although the work he is doing is very important and irreplaceable, the gap in military rank and qualifications The flaws made him miss many high-level meetings. He could only get copies of these meetings from Seekert.
Now Seekert is very satisfied with the defenseless policy adopted by the IDF during the French invasion of the Ruhr area, although he once clamored to use the blood of the IDF to protect the German cities. But now the city has been handed over, and Seekert has not ordered the IDF to take any action against France.
The benefits are obvious. Lieutenant-General Lieutenant Colonel Smith, who was permanently stationed in the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, secretly met with General Seekert, secretly expressing the British ’s intention to allow the Germans to expand the National Defense Force slightly, indicating that the British were in the Ruhr Industrial Zone Supporting Germany ’s basic position during the crisis.
And in a specific meeting afterwards, Smith also made a commitment to Akado to ensure that the British support the Defense Forces to have more machine guns and automatic weapons to resist possible domestic attacks and French invasion. That is to say, the British in the Allied Arms Control Committee will keep their eyes closed on the expansion of the National Defense Forces, and in disguise support Germany secretly expand its arms and prepare for war.
The US ambassador to France made solemn representations, demanding that France immediately withdraw all troops on German territory and stop the mad move of invading neighboring countries. The Netherlands has always maintained friendly relations with Germany, so it also condemned France in this crisis.
Among the many voices of condemnation, there was a voice that made the world look around. In the far east of Asia, Guangzhou, China, the newly reorganized leader of the Chinese Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen, issued a statement condemning the French invasion of Germany and expressing support for Germany. The people’s struggle against invasion.
“700 howitzers, 10,000 Makqin heavy machine guns, 200,000 rifles, 4 million rounds of bullets, our Chinese friends in the Far East are finally on board.” Akado smiled softly at the newspaper.
“Of course, there is a loan of about US $ 300 million they owe to the United States. This loan gives the United States more firm control of the Chinese revolutionary forces. I helped China embrace the American thighs in advance and gave them weapons and equipment. Presumably, the upcoming Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek will be more confident? “Akado took a light sip of coffee and put down the newspaper.
He looked out of the window, the street was full of parade crowds, people shouted slogans, walked through the gate of the National Defense Command, the slogan was painted with red paint, and it looked bloody. The banner reads: “Asshole Government! There is no defense! Get out of Berlin!”
“Geer! Geer!” Akado leaned against the window frame and shouted to his assistant: “The parade outside has been in trouble for three days?”
Gole walked into Akkado’s office and nodded, “Yes, it’s been almost three days since the incident. And there are more and more people! It looks like the government is under pressure.”
“Do you know why these people did not come to the Defense Forces Command to march here?” Akado asked with a smile, without looking back.
Gore was stunned, and then said helplessly: “We are too weak to resist the invasion of the enemy country! So no one blames us.”
“Weak? No way to resist? No! Gore, we hid 200 cannons in a secret base in the Alps. All the troops were almost doubled, and the invading French army had only one division, and we had the power to destroy it.”
“Then, why don’t we fight back? Why don’t we blast those **** Frenchmen out?” Gore was shocked. Although he did a lot of things with Akado, he had no way of knowing how well Germany was armed.
“Because once the National Defense Army participates in the war, our combat power will be discovered, the world will stand on the side of France, the arms control of Germany will never be lifted, and the German yoke” Peace of Versailles “will always exist.” Akado explained Road.
He wanted to find a reason to persuade himself, so he had to tell Gore some military secrets. His pressure was too great to be shared.
He painstakingly ran the National Defense Force, but he could not fire a shot when the enemy invaded. In order to grow in the future, he must take the lead in giving up the oath when he joined the army, violating the phrase “protect his country with his own blood.” Bleeding, not even sweating.
“Adults always have the truth of adults, but we only want to be loyal to the country once.” Gore said with red eyes: “Last time we lost unclearly! This time we have the ability to fight back, why do we look Are those hybrids damaging our homes? “
“We are enough to win this war, but we are also destined to not win the next war! Gambling once with the German National Games for a hundred years, let you be loyal to your duty?” Akado looked at Lieutenant Gerr with some anger: “I work so hard Is n’t it just for the future that we can not let the enemy ride **** on our heads? “
“Sorry! Lieutenant Colonel Arcado! I know your efforts! So please tell me, when can we defend our own country?” Ge Lizheng saluted.
“Give me 5 years, and you will see the answer after 5 years. Lieutenant Gore! If you ca n’t see hope after 5 years, then please break my head with a gun, because I also swore to defend us Countries do n’t hesitate to give their lives, but at least today, I did n’t do it. ”Akado said bitterly.
“Lieutenant Colonel! I believe in you! In these 5 years, you will be the master of my loyalty to Gore! I will do everything for you!” Gore solemnly said: “I hope you can make Germany stronger again! “
In the morning of the next day, Sickert asked Ensign Grace to call Akado to his office and said to Akado comfortably while drinking coffee: “Just now, Ebert played on behalf of his government. Call me and invite me to a special meeting. “
“You just go, they must make a compromise.” Akado narrowed his eyes and raised his mouth. He finally waited until the time for the National Defense Force to really rise.
“There is a very interesting saying recently, the German Wehrmacht has two guts, the courage depends on Seeker, and the bravery counts on Akado.” Seeker looked at the low-eyed Akado with a bit of laughter on his face. The expression and mood are very good: “You have already been mentioned to be tied to me, so I am really embarrassed to leave you here alone.”
Hickett picked up the papers on the table and said with a smile: “Go! Let your Defence Force bravery help me come up with an idea to see what the fools in the government are looking for us to talk about!”
As Akado walked into the conference room of the government building with Seeker, Ebert was surrounded by several politicians and said something. The current political situation is a mess. No one has hope for the current government. However, as officials at all levels of the government, they still hope to save their status and power.
President Ebert was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and he never expected that the situation would deteriorate to the present level. When he saw Seekert and Akado came in, he immediately set aside the crowd around him and went to the west. In front of Kurt.
“The German mark began to depreciate sharply and the situation was very bad. The right-wing separatists conspired to seize the dominance of Bavaria, a large state in southern Germany; the left-wing elements also began to create riots on a large scale, shaking the rule of Thuringia and Saxony.” A brief introduction to the situation seems a bit desperate.
Seeker stood there without speaking, and Akado had to step forward to play Seeker ’s dogleg image: “These IDFs already know! Your Excellency, the situation is really bad. So, what do you want us to do?”
“I just want to know, where is the Defence Force now? Will it stand with us? Lord General?” Ebert asked Sikert in a tone of prayer.
“Your Excellency President, the National Defense Force is standing on the side of General Siket.” Akkado said with a smile before Siket spoke.
