My Third Empire

Seventy-two Joint Staff

I don't think he can be given more power. He is too young and impulsive. We can't give Germany's future to this kind of brat. An old general with thick eyebrows leaned back in his chair. said above.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a brand-new lieutenant general's uniform looked disdainful: We are all old, and he has done what we wanted to do but couldn't. We should support him.

How can I support him? What he did when I was young was enough to hang him dozens of times! We didn't pursue it, and gave him more and more power. With a white beard, the bald old general patted the table and said.

However, his recent diplomacy has been quite successful. We can't ignore his contribution just because he has done something out of the ordinary. Germany is getting stronger because he is gradually getting stronger, which is what we all want to see. President Hindenburg, who was sitting in the first place, squinted his eyes and said, his recent physical condition is not very good, and after a few words, he gasped.

General Hamestein sitting in the position of commander-in-chief still reassures us all, and it can also put some pressure on General Akka and let him do things with scruples! The old general with thick eyebrows, who was talking at the beginning, thought want to say.

Well! We can't just change the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht. Hamestein is our man, and he is reliable at critical times. There is no need to change. The middle-aged general who was still against him at first nodded and said: We The controlled forces are shrinking and he can no longer be given real power.

If you are worried, hand over the navy to him. It can be seen that he is a rare talent and is proficient in many types of combat. I have no opinion on handing over the navy to him, and there are only less than 20,000 people in the navy. Rewards we can afford. Sitting in the corner of the table, Vice Admiral Raedel, the de facto ruler of the German navy, said.

The bald old general in the center snorted and said, Hmph, you are willing to pay for it! The naval part of Project Hades has turned you over as a naval commander, so you are so dedicated to supporting the little major general of Arkado? All the power in his hand was given to him?

Pay attention to your words! The old general with thick eyebrows said angrily at the beginning: We are discussing how to deal with the issue of Major General Arcador Rudolph. What does this have to do with Lieutenant General Reeder?

What else can we do? We promote him to lieutenant general? Joke, have you ever seen a German lieutenant general under the age of 28? Go to the Wehrmacht and have a look! How many colonels are there in their forties? Fifty-year-old colonels? The major general is already a young warrior! How do you let us nobles deal with themselves? Salute to a general who is younger than their son? The bald old general became more and more angry as he patted the table and complained.

Don't pat the table in front of me! There is only one person who can pat my table in this life, and that is His Majesty the Emperor! Hindenburg opened his eyes and said this slowly, the room immediately became quiet, and no one was there anymore. Dare to speak loudly.

All the current exercise plans of the National Defense Forces are all formulated by him. More than half of the weapons and equipment are purchased by him. The future development program is also what he proposed a few years ago and gradually improved to the present... It seemed to be a very physically exhausting job for Hindenburg, he finished speaking very slowly, and stopped to take a few deep breaths.

Then he looked around at the generals under his command, most of whom followed him to fight in the Quartet, and they were his direct descendants: We are all old! One day we will hand over the power in our hands to the young people behind us, we must It is very simple, it is enough to select these successors for Deutsche.

I'm a lieutenant general. The middle-aged general stood up and said, But I know I'm not as good as General Akado, so there's no shame in letting me salute him. If he can lead us to victory, I'll salute him! I salute the German salute that he spread into the army!

Then let's do it this time. Hindenburg nodded and slowly stood up with the help of his secretary: In my name, I will promote Arkado Rudolph as a lieutenant general of the Wehrmacht, responsible for the preparation and management of the establishment. The Joint Operations Staff of the National Defense Forces of the Army, Navy and Air Force. He served as the first Chief of Staff of the Joint Operations of the Three Armies. He was responsible for the preparation and reorganization of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the National Defense Forces.”

Whoops, with a neat sound, everyone stood up from their seats and stood at attention in unison: Yes!

Now that the matter has been completely settled, the meeting has been announced, and Hindenburg was first supported by the secretary out of the conference room, while the others also dispersed in twos and threes.

The commander-in-chief of the armed forces who is not even 28 years old, the German Wehrmacht will become the laughing stock of the world! The old marshal is old after all. As he walked to the corridor outside the conference room, the bald general frowned at him. The thick-browed general of the same age complained.

Compared to this, I am more worried about the expansion of the Greater Deutsches Party in the army. I am not afraid of a lieutenant general of the Wehrmacht. What I am afraid of is a dictator who controls the military and political power and loses the restraint of power. Once this person makes a mistake, Germany will be doomed. The old general with thick eyebrows sighed.

When the Battle of the Somme, I knew that you saw farther than I did. I was just a warrior, and I didn't have as many twists and turns as you, but I just didn't like this Arkado. Why did I become a senior general at such a young age? Now? I'm a lieutenant general who got his life in exchange! When I was fighting, he was still a big soldier! Damn... The bald and bearded general scolded the old general with thick eyebrows and walked farther and farther, his voice also gradually became inaudible.

The middle-aged general watched the two of them walk away, stopped and waited for Raidel to walk side by side before asking, I heard that you and Lieutenant General Arkado have known each other two years ago, and the friendship is still very good. If you have time, I'll be the host, and let's have dinner together?

There will never be a shortage of smart people in this world. After seeing the unstoppable rise of Arkado with his own eyes, the lieutenant general who holds the command of the two divisions of the Wehrmacht near Leipzig and Dresden in Germany finally decided to choose in advance. Some At that time, life is a big gamble. If you win the gamble, you will flourish. If you lose the gamble, you will never end your life. However, if you want to gamble, you must start early, because you can get benefits by sending charcoal in the snow, and the icing on the cake is easy to be settled by the autumn.

Lieutenant General Boke is a smart man. He knows that he can be successfully promoted to Lieutenant General of the National Defense Forces, relying on Arkado's Pluto Plan to expand the number of the National Defense Forces. In 1920, he was also a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, with the rank of colonel. In just 5 years, he became a lieutenant general of the National Defense Forces with the expansion of the army.

Originally, he was determined to use the loyalty of Prussia to reward the President of Hindenburg who supported him, but when he found that Hindenburg's old body was about to fall, the idea of ​​finding another way out was lingering in his mind. After comparing the various forces, he decided to gamble his life on the newly emerging Arkado Rudolph Group.

This is no problem. General Akado has always wanted to get to know General Bock, but he has never had the opportunity. Rader was stunned. He was the only one who participated in this meeting. He was the only one who had close contact with Akado, and he was the only one. Speaking for Arcador with great fanfare, if he hadn't represented the Navy's opinion, he probably wouldn't have been called.

Thank you! I've kept a bottle of Chateau Margaux, France, for some years! Come to my house at night! I'll let Marie prepare the salad and soup she's good at. Based on the principle that choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, Bock does not Intending to waste this opportunity, he wanted to establish a friendship with Redel immediately. And his home was in Berlin, not in Dresden, where his army headquarters was.

In order to win over and make friends, Rader nodded happily and agreed: Of course. I'd be happy to go! You know I'm a wine bug, and I'm reluctant to leave when I hear that there's good wine. Hahahaha.

He laughed and followed Bock forward, then lowered his voice and said, If you don't mind, General Arcador, and Mr. Stressmann, vice-chairman of the Greater Deutsches Party, may be free this evening. Why don't you call them?

Of course! There is no problem at all! Boke laughed even more happily, and was able to know Akado directly. In the future, under Akado's command, he would be at least on the same level as Raidel, and the benefits would naturally not be less, so He added: Since I can invite so many distinguished guests, I will be neglected just eating salad and thick soup, so I will rush back to call and ask the servant to choose some more high-quality steaks and prepare a roast chicken.

In the evening, Accardo, Stressman, confidant Merkel, Jerin Nike Cassia and others followed Rader to Bock's house in Berlin, where they chatted and laughed all the time. It went away after eight o'clock in the evening.

The next day, Bock secretly joined the Greater Deutsches Party, and hurried back to the headquarters in Dresden to start the deployment mission, preparing to receive the armored vehicles and new artillery that Arkado secretly assigned to him.

Moreover, he personally announced that he would no longer interfere in the development of the Greater Deutsches Party within the army at the head-level meeting under his command, that is, at the regular meeting attended by officers above the head of the 9th and 10th divisions of the Wehrmacht. The news came back to Berlin. After Hindenburg heard about it, he sat silently in a chair without saying a word for ten minutes.

Because just a few hours ago, he had just issued an order to set up the Joint Operations Staff of the National Defense Forces to govern the three armies, and the newly promoted Lieutenant Arkado Rudolph would be the first Chief of Staff for Joint Operations of the Three Armies.

For the first time, the troops controlled by Akado accounted for more than half of the Wehrmacht. That is to say, even if Hindenburg wanted to replace Akado, he would not have won the support of the Wehrmacht as before.
