My Third Empire

You don't plan to abide by this convention? Stressman looked at the man in front of him with disappointment: You must know that we took this opportunity to squeeze the Wehrmacht, which has already made the chairman dissatisfied! He is taking the opportunity to cultivate his own strength recently. , this is our loss.

Abide by the convention? The short man smiled and waved his hand: We will abide by the convention only when it is beneficial, understand? Who told you that Gustav Krupp had to abide by those boring conventions?

Once your factory's production of new howitzers is exposed, you will be sent to the gallows! Are you crazy? Don't want to live anymore? Stressman asked angrily.

Am I crazy? Mr. Stressmann, if there is no profit, my factory will kill me like 100,000 workers. Each of them can drown me with a spit. Krupp snorted. Retorted: Since the Wehrmacht wants to purchase this weapon, then I will produce it.

He glanced at Stressman and continued: You know I've lost the arms market in the Far East, and you know what it means to me to lose orders from the Wehrmacht!

He looked at the continuous crowd outside the car window: Henkel Aircraft Company has recently received some orders from the Japanese, and has also produced a batch of fighter jets for the Wehrmacht; Mercedes-Benz's civilian production line has occupied the European car market and is expanding to the United States. My own business; only mine is shrinking! I can't just sit still! You know what?

So after we just sold the interests of the Wehrmacht, we came to compliment our master, Arcador Rudolph? Stressman scoffed: What do you think Chairman Arcador will do to us? Throw us away? To the Wehrmacht's wolfhounds and watch us both get eaten without a single bone left?

The immortal Carl Benz fell to Akado and introduced him to his contacts. Now Akado is as cunning as a fox, dividing the business group that was originally headed by me. Krup After thinking about it, Bo felt gritted his teeth, hammered the leather armrest on the Mercedes-Benz car, and said bitterly: Now we have to bow to Akado.

The congressional election is about to come, and the Greater Deutsches Party must have an advantage in terms of votes. Fanny's publicity work has been done very well. If I pick up the newspaper and read a few pages, I will choose to support this party. Stressman found that he was in a terrible mood now, and he didn't know which onion he had eaten wrong and wanted to follow Krupp to do this little trick.

It is obvious that the Grand Deutsche Party has an advantage in the election, and we have not acted disloyal to the Grand Deutsche Party. We are at best an internal distribution of power, so Arkado will not treat us like that. Krupp As if to comfort Stressman, and as if to comfort himself.

While speaking, the car had stopped at the door of Arcardo's apartment. This apartment was a birthday gift that Krupp gave to Akado a few years ago. Akado chose to meet them here. The meaning is really profound.

When they went upstairs, Stressmann and Krupp saw that the tarmac of the stairs was guarded by SS soldiers in black uniforms. Among these guards, there were actually two Wehrmacht soldiers with new submachine guns on their chests— - Apparently, Arkado is for the two of them, that is, in addition to businessmen and politicians, Arkado holds more loyal power in his hand.

Stressmann, Krupp, sit down, please sit down! Arkado didn't show an angry look when he met, but was rather suave and elusive.

He asked two people to sit down, and asked Anna to help them pour coffee separately.

Then he sat down on the sofa with the backrest in front of the two of them, tapped Erlang's leg and laughed.

Hehe, first of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Gustav Stressman. Accardo laughed and said, I would like to congratulate you for being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1926. My intelligence personnel and I said that the dignitaries of several countries are extremely satisfied with the contract you signed, and this time you have won the Heping Award.

Chairman! Please listen to my explanation, this time... Stressman said in a panic. After all, he was loyal to Akado earlier than Krupp, and he was considered to be an old man under Akado's command. He couldn't Regardless of the degree of Arkado's trust in him, this is a guarantee that he will continue to have the support of the military and other forces.

Reaching out his hand to stop Strassman's explanation, Arcador continued: I trusted you, so I sent you to Locarno, but you brought me a treaty that cost the Wehrmacht. Give me One reason why I don't have to tie you to the wheels of my tank and run over to death!

Accardo! Germany needs a breather! We can't always think about revenge and war. Wouldn't it be better if we could achieve our goals through peaceful means? Stressman said anxiously.

Akado snorted coldly: Humph! Let's be a watchdog, and squat in front of the Soviets with Poland as two vicious dogs in the hospital. When they come, we will bark twice, and if they are afraid, we will get A steak as a reward?

Enough! Akado! The Greater Deutsches Party is not yours alone! Krupp said angrily.

That's why this happened, right? If it belongs to me alone, then I don't have to bear this betrayal, right? Akado looked at Krupp and said fiercely: I give Your infinitely broad future! What you gave me was a shameful betrayal!

He stood up, stared at Krupp who was a little surprised, and said word by word: I gave you countless orders! There are hundreds of millions of bullets sold to the Far East alone! There are thousands of cannons and 100,000 pieces. New submachine guns, hundreds of thousands of Mauser 98Ks! I also gave you the latest self-propelled artillery concept, asking you to build future artillery systems for the Wehrmacht!

He pointed to Krupp: I will provide you with the most advanced production line theory, and I will provide you with the most advanced standardized weapons and equipment ideas. These things are worth tens of billions of dollars when popularized! Do you still feel satisfied?

I just hope that in the new government in the future, there will be our voices! What's wrong with this? I'm not betraying you! I'm just fighting for some rights. Krupp was also annoyed.

Hmph, you don't want a voice! You want your voice to overwhelm the military's voice! Akado said with a sneer.

What's wrong with this? You're not trying to set up a military government! Stressman was very sensitive about the military government and said immediately.

Gentlemen, I don't want to establish a military government where the military is in power, nor do I want a businessman government that easily compromises with foreign governments! What I want is a strong Germany, not a weak mess! Arkado solemnly He said: On my way to revitalize Germany and make Germany the No. 1 power in the world, whoever opposes me is my enemy!

Akado said excitedly: This world's most powerful country represents the most powerful industry and the most powerful military. The products it makes will be used by all countries in the world. The currency it issues is the universal currency of the world, and the financial system it formulates Policies are the rules of world finance! Wherever its military goes, its territory!

The person who follows me, I will use all means to make him the richest businessman, the most influential politician, and the most powerful soldier! Are you willing to follow me?

You still trust us? Stressman looked suspiciously at Akado who was still angry just now, before asking weakly for a while.

I will continue to trust you until you betray me again. Akado looked at the two and said, At that time, you will become my enemies, crushed by my anger! Turn into the dust of history. .

Thank you! Stressman suddenly felt a little touched, although his age and his working environment had made him forget what it meant to be touched.

Will you still give me the order? Continue to give me the arms order of the Wehrmacht? Krupp also didn't quite believe that, after Akado's storm-like anger, he could still get the secret order of the Wehrmacht.

Akado nodded: Of course, as long as the weapons you provide are the best. I will not abuse the power in my hands, nor will I revenge on you with public benefit or personal benefit, I will lead by example to maintain the competition within the Greater Deutsche Party within a virtuous circle. , I hope you will also remember today's lesson! Because you have no chance to make mistakes.

Thank you, thank you. Krupp finally lowered his head and said weakly. For him, it is his allies who bring him benefits. Even if he did his best to gain power, he did so in order to be able to obtain more benefits.

Let's stay and have dinner together at night, I'll treat you. Arkado said casually, I asked Anna to invite a chef, and I'll have a good meal here in a while.

Invite us to dinner? Is there anything to celebrate? Stressman was stunned, then blurted out and asked.

Of course, to celebrate that you are about to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Arkado said with a smile: In addition, we also celebrate the signing of nine new weapons procurement contracts by the National Defense Forces.

We just signed the convention, and we plan to violate it? Stressman felt that he was a joke, and no one wanted to abide by the convention that he had worked so hard to sign for even a second.

We will abide by the agreement only when it is favorable. Akado and Krupp said in unison, looked at each other after speaking, and then laughed together.

Let's just say it. Arkado and I thought the same. We signed the peace treaty and did not forget to prepare for the next war. Krupp said proudly.

I think Time magazine's words are more suitable to describe us in reverse. Stressman said, holding up his glass: The Germans not only yearn for peace, but also make cannons.

It's all the same! We make cannons for peace! Krupp also picked up the wine glass in front of him.

We fired cannons at the enemy, and let our own people bathe in peace. Akado also picked up the wine glass.
