My Third Empire

On one side of the round table, a few people in suits were banging on the table top, their faces filled with righteous indignation. In the center of the round table, there was a plan book with a white cover, covered with a large bright red seal, and a line in German showed that the document was. Top secret level.

At the top of the center of the cover of the plan, the code name of this plan is written, the god of death in charge of the nether hell: The Pluto Plan.

On the other side of the round table, several representatives of the military seemed so calm. They were holding tea cups, watching the politicians on the opposite side shouting loudly as if they were watching a play, and sneered from time to time to express own disdain.

The leader of the politicians tapped the table, pointed at the plan and shouted angrily: What is this? What is your military going to do? This is not a disarmament plan at all! It can keep more than half of the entire German army!

The speaker was President Ebert of the current German government. His speech immediately attracted a voice of approval, and another politician immediately stood up: Look! What is written on it? Ah? Empire Train 100,000 soldiers who were forced to leave the army, lurking in all corners of the empire, and even go abroad for espionage warfare or special operations when the empire needs it in the future. The deployment of spies on such a large scale will cause international disputes!

As he spoke, he held up the copy of the document in his hand, slapped it hard, and made a crisp, crackling sound: How about secretly placing officers in the government's civil service? You have to arrange 700 officers above the major and three officers above the second lieutenant in one go. Thousands? Are you going to set up a military government?

Sir, I hope you think carefully before you speak! If your words represent the government, then the Wehrmacht will seriously consider its attitude toward the government! General Sickert didn't look at the speaker at all, and his tone was very calm. However, President Ebert immediately stood up and pulled his colleague who was still standing beside him stunned and yelled back to his seat: We all understand the difficulties of the Wehrmacht, and we also support the secret development of the Wehrmacht to protect Germany's Basically safe, but with such a large-scale destruction of the Treaty of Versailles, the Coalition Committee will not be so laissez-faire!

How to deceive the supervisors of the Coalition Military Commission is our military's business. What we need now is the unreserved support of the government! General Sickert snorted, interrupting Ebert's complaint.

There is a sub-plan to train pilots and tank drivers abroad. This involves diplomatic issues. We can't help. Once the ambassador-level meeting happens, it is impossible to keep the negotiation secret! The foreign minister did not object loudly, Just raised its own difficulties on practical issues.

Sickert glanced at Akado, who was standing straight behind him, and motioned for him to come out and explain his plan.

Accardo knew it was his turn. He had to get the plan through and get the most support. Without the support of the government, the road to revitalization of the Wehrmacht would be full of thorns.

He took a step forward and held his chest high: Gentlemen, this plan will be completed by the military itself, we will directly contact the countries we are interested in, and then sign a secret agreement, which will not involve government departments, even if it is discovered, the government's You can also completely shirk your responsibilities.”

Young man! The word responsibility is easy to say, but do you know what the price will be? On the side, an old man who had been silent for a while, seemed a little dim-witted and suddenly spoke.

He has a dignified beard with two strokes, and wears a German army uniform, which looks a little tight on him, because he is particularly burly, sitting there like a hill.

The badge on his shoulder made him look so different, and the golden decorative line swayed slightly. He was the first person in the German army, the old field marshal Hindenburg.

Akado stood upright again, saluting the old marshal with the straightest posture he could stand, and knocked the heel of his leather shoe with a crisp sound: Marshal! To sacrifice your life for the German Wehrmacht, even if you are an inferior officer!

Soldiers who are ready to sacrifice often survive! You did a good job. The old marshal hummed this sentence softly, then glanced at General Sickert, and seemed to ask a question casually, as if he was off topic. How long has he been a major under you?

Seven months. Sickert replied respectfully.

Yeah. Hindenburg nodded: Almost, let Lieutenant Colonel Arcador in charge of the Hades plan, implement the fourth item, this can be launched immediately, and the rest, you can discuss the implementation plan and leave it to me.

Ebert raised his eyebrows. Hindenburg supported the plan, and he also promoted Arkado to the post of a nobody. It seems that the military's ambitions need to be controlled.

Marshal, we also support this plan, but we really can't come up with the billions of marks above. We can't afford such a huge amount, and we can't hide it from the coalition committee. The decision was changed. Ebert of strategy has come up with his own trump card.

Then! Since you support this plan, we will take as much as you can! Akado narrowed his eyes and said.

The meeting finally ended according to the wishes of the Wehrmacht, and the government officials agreed to provide 13 billion Deutsche Marks for the entire Pluto Project. A large part of these funds were blatantly distributed to the military in the name of relocating veterans.

As soon as the money reached the accounts of the Wehrmacht, it was squandered almost overnight. It takes a lot of money to demobilize veterans. Although the Wehrmacht has more than doubled the rate of demobilization, it still cannot withstand so much spending.

They asked for money to demobilize veterans, pay salaries to the new active-duty army, refurbish old warships, and dismantle planes. In the end, even after all 13 billion was allocated, Arcador and Sickert found helplessly. Not even a penny was spent on new weapons.

This can't be done! In the office, Akado was a little furious. He really couldn't tolerate this funding allocation plan, which was obviously a compromise with the Coalition Arms Control Commission.

He banged on the plan and said with anger on his face: Your Excellency General! I have already said that to build the new Wehrmacht, we need at least 700 new vehicles and new communication equipment! The infantry's guns also need to be replaced, and the army's training needs to be done. It also consumes about 10 million rounds of ammunition every year.”

We can only carry out these plans in secret! Understand? Arcador! Now the Coalition Arms Control Commission is watching us closely! There is no way we can follow our plans exactly! Also! Training ammunition can be diverted from Imperial reserves. Anyway, we won't be able to use these outdated ammunition in the future! Use it to train soldiers! I can only solve this part for you, the rest is up to you to find a solution! General Sickert said helplessly, spreading his hands.

What about making fake accounts? How's it going? After saying this, General Sickert asked Arkado's substantive question casually.

Accardo unbuttoned his collar, calmed down his mood, and introduced: We have tried our best to make a false account of 70 million in the funds for disbanding the old army, and we used the non-existent troops to receive the severance fee. , and falsely reported the numbers of most troops.

Hickett nodded and praised: Very good! You have worked hard! Use half of the money on Operation Tack, and give half of the money to those military factories, so that they can continue their research on new weapons! Although we can't Produce weapons, but we want to make sure that once produced, they are the best weapons in the world!

Yes! Your Excellency General! Arcador said straightly.

Sickert smiled with satisfaction and continued to assign tasks: The first stage of Operation Tack is to deploy domestically and monitor all the enemies of the Wehrmacht! Do you understand?

Understood! Arcador replied.

The documents for your promotion have been approved. From tomorrow you will be Lieutenant Colonel Arcador Rudolph. What do you think? Sickert asked with a smile, changing the subject.

Knowing that Sickert didn't want to talk too much about this issue, it was a top-secret plan after all, so he changed the subject: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, right?

If you were born twenty years earlier, perhaps our emperor, His Majesty, wouldn't have been so humiliated. Sickert said with a sigh, he made no secret of his support for Emperor Wilhelm in front of Arcador, which shows that he is very supportive of the Emperor. Cardo's trust.

Arcador also knew that when Sickert said so, he also had the intention of subtly pulling himself into the circle of the royalists, but Arcador was not a loyal guardian of Emperor William. Compared with becoming a pawn in the restoration of the emperor, he Prefer to be the leader of the Third Reich.

There is no if in history! Your Excellency General! I value the future more! Arkado avoided Sickert's words and expressed his position.

Future? I hope the future you're talking about is the future of the German people. Sickert closed his eyes, waved his hand, and drove Arkado out of his office.

Akado's promotion ceremony was brief and solemn, because the whole promotion ceremony was only held for him alone, which was secret and streamlined. The grand occasion was because Field Marshal Hindenburg personally presented the young officer with a newly established contribution medal and promoted him to lieutenant colonel of the Wehrmacht.

Amid the applause of congratulations on Akado's promotion, the first phase of Project Hades was fully launched. All 60,000 Black Defense Forces were disbanded. Fifteen divisions of the newly reorganized National Defense Forces were reorganized in various places. At this moment, the German military took a step forward. Footsteps that violated the Treaty of Versailles.
