Forty 1 Bad sails
At this moment, Arcador is really a little complacent. After all, he has finally changed history and strengthened the National Defense Forces ahead of schedule. The current National Defense Forces have a very strong foundation, enough for him to expand the army exponentially in the next ten years. .
At the same time, General Seeckert, who was far away in Berlin, was working hard to plan for his own dream.
Unlike the several future armored divisions that Arcador had meticulously cultivated, Sickert turned several of his divisions into elite infantry and cavalry divisions. Most of his troops were equipped with bicycles and horses, and even equipped with Horses and cavalry.
Take the 1st Division, which Seekert values most, as an example. General Harmon's Wehrmacht 1st Division has nearly 13,000 people, but only 140 cars and 52 armored vehicles. Most of the soldiers are equipped with bicycles or horses. This division also has an independent team. of up to 3,000 cavalry troops.
Harmon complained to General Sickert for this, because the 15th Division, which is also the main force of the Wehrmacht, was equipped with 70 armored reconnaissance vehicles and more than 500 cars. But the 15th Division has only 10,000 people, and thousands of troops are undergoing tank training, and they will equip tanks to evolve into real armored divisions.
But Sickert was dismissive of Accardo's efforts. He always believed that the war would continue in the style of World War I, so he was keen on those outdated equipment, such as bicycles and war horses.
Of course he knew that Arcardo was conducting secret military exercises in the mountains of southern Bavaria, leaving the traditional German military exercises to the 1st Wehrmacht Division under the command of Harmon, and euphemistically called it: Preventing the Coalition Arms Control Committee from peeping at the Wehrmacht secret.
So this time Sickert prepared a grand military exercise to combat Arkado's arrogance and to restore his dominance in the Wehrmacht, because he felt the crisis and there were more and more Wehrmacht soldiers And officers and even high-ranking generals have joined a secret organization, which he has been investigating for a long time, but only knows it is called the Greater Deutsches Party.
Because of this incident, Major Gaskel was also criticized by Sickert. The Gestapo's investigation and espionage work in other areas was impeccable, but there was no progress in the investigation work of the Greater Deutsches Party.
Until now, Sickert still has a vague feeling of sullenness in his heart, but he doesn't want to use any excuse to get rid of Akado. After all, Akado is trying his best to strengthen the National Defense Forces, and he knows that Akado has many private companies. Enterprises and corporations are sponsoring the development of the National Defense Forces, and Sickert does not want to carry the infamy of being a rabbit and a dog.
But he thought so, the others were another matter. The National Defense Forces were carrying out a routine exercise, and the observation groups from various countries were huddled together to chat and laugh. This grand exercise is not so much a sergeant training as it is a cross talk. Performance.
The Wehrmacht without tanks rode on tall horses, and the soldiers ran between the trenches carrying 50-pound Maxim heavy machine guns. There was no sign of any threat to the German armed forces. This exercise, at the right time and at the right place, severely slapped the Coalition Arms Control Commission, which has been emphasizing that the Wehrmacht is undergoing massive rearmament.
General Sickert. A middle-aged man sitting next to General Sickert said with a smile, I am very happy to be able to watch such a spectacular military exercise.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a gorgeous Prussian uniform, with various ceremonial medals hanging on his chest, and he looked extraordinary. If you look closely, you will find that he is sitting on the right hand side of Sickert. This middle-aged man is even more noble than Sickert.
This person is the eldest son of the former German Emperor Wilhelm II, whom Sickert deliberately invited to watch the ceremony today.
That is, the former crown prince of the Second German Reich and the former German crown prince, Frederick Wilhelm Victor August Ernst - when you hear such a long name, you will know that this person is in the aristocratic circle. What a bullshit.
Over the years, Sickert has maintained ties to the former emperor's family, as he is a complete royalist, and at times even hated the Weimar Republic and the inaction of the old army.
This is a gift to you, Your Highness. Sickert pointed to the refreshed Wehrmacht soldiers and said, Even if there are only 10,000 people, these Wehrmacht soldiers can defeat ten times as many enemies. They are the best. !
Will you support me to come back here and get back everything my father once owned? The crown prince looked at the heavy machine gun company that was firing live ammunition in the distance, and asked General Sickert, who was beside him.
It will take time, the businessmen who have just come to power are not so easy to deal with! They have always had their voices in the Wehrmacht, and I have been working to eliminate these opponents, but no progress has been made. Sickert wanted to tell the crown prince. , Seizing power is not a matter of one or two days, and the current situation is not conducive to the royal family.
Yeah! Too many people have betrayed! Including those who have always supported us! These villains will face justice sooner or later! The crown prince frowned angrily: That bastard in Hindenburg actually became The President, he was nothing more than a little military officer in front of my father!
He glanced at Sickert, knowing that it would not do him any good to talk about people in the army, because to belittle Hindenburg would be abusive to Sickert, so he quickly changed the subject: And that damn Gus Taff Krupp! He married Miss Beta Krupp on the trust of my father! He ended up falling for those mercenary businessmen!
And recently he has been very close to Colonel Arkado Rudolph, supporting some of his internal Wehrmacht activities! This also makes it difficult for me to control the Wehrmacht. Sickert said helplessly.
So you can't hold your breath anymore? The crown prince was a little unhappy: In a hurry, you invited me to watch this military exercise, so that everyone can know your position and win more supporters?
Sickert nodded: Yes, I want to have a decisive battle with Akado who represents those merchants! I believe that Hindenburg will be on my side, and finally we will gain control of the entire Wehrmacht, so that, We can welcome His Majesty the Emperor back to Germany.
You haven't thought about the reaction of those businessmen? They may resist more fiercely! And it's not sure about Hindenburg. The crown prince's tone was a little nervous, thinking that once Sickert's plan was successful, He once again gained the power to call the wind and call the rain.
President Hindenburg is a royalist! Trust me! Sickert said triumphantly. Because the distant artillery positions were firing live ammunition, he spoke a lot louder. Not far behind him, German Foreign Minister Gustav Stressmann raised his lips and laughed.
Meanwhile, news has reached a secret military base in the mountains of southern Bavaria. Krupp revolved around Akado in the lounge: What can I do! Sickert actually moved the crown prince out, so that those old nobles and supporters of His Majesty the Emperor will all stand by him. Go, we're done.
Akado smiled: Why do you say that? Since the emperor has stepped down, it proves that the power of the capitalists is enough to shake the imperial power. What should we be afraid of?
Krupp said angrily: But these businessmen don't all support you. I was also a follower of the royal family. Maybe one day I will fall over! Then you will have nothing! Go to the guillotine.
You? You won't fall over! Because there is no benefit in falling over! Akado laughed: But they always have the support of the army when they rise, but the attitude of the army is not uniform, such as me, for example President Hindenburg. Reluctance to act will only lead to civil war.
Why are you so sure that President Hindenburg will not fall to the royalists! You know, he was an important royalist who was close to His Majesty the Emperor a year ago. Krupp said anxiously.
Akado looked at the anxious Krupp, and said jokingly: Don't worry, Marshal Hindenburg is a loyal supporter of the emperor, but President Hindenburg definitely does not want to have such an emperor.
What if the emperor returns and promises Hindenburg to make him prime minister? Krupp said after thinking for a while.
Remember Bismarck? Akado laughed loudly: Promise Hindenburg to become prime minister, where is Sickert? Marshal of the Wehrmacht? He is now!
Krupp was relieved and sat back to his seat: So we don't have to worry about anything this time?
What are you worried about? Are you worried that these people will single out for their own death? Akado took a sip of coffee and said, I'm more worried about the royal family standing behind certain political parties for the benefit, rather than standing behind certain people in an attempt to reinstate the power. power.
You're so wary of Hitler's Nazi Party? He's still in prison now. Krupp relieved his sense of crisis.
Akado shook his head: You went to prison too, and soon became a national hero. If it wasn't for the Nazis to disrupt the situation, I should have ordered the shooting of Adolf Hitler that day. I've always worried that this was The biggest mistake I've ever done.
We're not doing anything this time? Isn't it too cheap for the old Sickert? Krupp changed the subject and stopped arguing about the Nazi party with Arkado. After all, Hitler was Arkado's former friend, Krupp Bo felt that it seemed impolite to talk about Hitler's life and death with Arcador.
Pay attention to your name! Krupp! Sickert is an indispensable figure for the revitalization of the Wehrmacht! Although he is not in the same camp as us, you still have to respect him! Akado reminded: In addition, I Certainly not doing nothing.
Krupp was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

This article was changed to the crown prince and moved to 1924 for the sake of the plot. Please don't blame anyone who is familiar with history. Thank you.
