Chapter 31: Free a white dove.
"Succumb to me?" "You don't have to laugh anymore." Akado said with a smile, "Geir, let the door open. Let the comer walk into Akado's house." He walked out of the door and closed the door.
"It is indeed a surrender to you. I think I should find myself a reliable ally or a strong leader." Gustav Stresemann said politely, "You may not be too good to me." "Familiar, compared to your reputation at the grassroots level of the National Defense Forces, I am just a small person."
"Little man?" Akado smiled and said, "If the most powerful diplomat of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs also happens to be Gustav Stresemann, the German Foreign Minister, then my little colonel It's even more influential. Why did you find me?
Gustav Stresemann shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "Germany's diplomacy has always been conservative." We can't do anything about the joint suppression of Britain and France. It can even be said that German diplomacy has failed. Now, we have lost the military support we depend on, and the situation is even worse.
He walked very well in front of a sofa and sat down, putting his hands on the armrests, with a calm look: "I saw in the crisis in the Ruhr area that there is no defense against the country." Diplomatic efforts to defend Germany are futile. There is no doubt that diplomacy requires strong military support, so at least at this stage our position is consistent, and that is to find a way to build a strong defense force.
"Minister Gustav Stresemann, you still did not say why you came to me. You can go to General, or you can go to the new government leader, Marshal Hindenburg, but you put your chips in "Pushing on my little colonel, I really can't figure it out." Akado walked from the door to the kitchen, poured two cups of brewed coffee into it, then returned to the living room and placed it in Gustav Stresemann had a glass in front of him and then asked for another.
"Marshal Hindenburg is in a great crisis, IMHO. Can he sit on his throne and still need effective policy implementation to support him? I guess most of these policies will come from his staff, that is, your hand?" Gustav Stresemann smiled, picked up the cup, and took a sip of coffee.
He put the coffee cup back on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said again: "As for General Seeckt, although he is still the top leader of the National Defense Force, you can already fight with him in court—no need to be arrogant, you already have this strength."
Akado smiled and said nothing.
Gustav Stresemann continued: "I know that President Albert died of revenge from the IDF, and he did sell the IDF for the fragile economic situation and internal power distribution, no matter what he did. What motivated them all made the situation in Germany even worse. So I think he has more than one death, and when I think about it, only you have the ability and courage to kill the country's former president.
He reached out to stop Akado's debate and continued: "So, I'm here to show my loyalty to you; I will do my best to help you and support you because our purpose is the same, which is to make Germany stronger! My reason for surrendering to you is simple. We are all working hard to make Germany stronger. "You can do better."
"So, that's the next question." Akado put down the coffee cup, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked seriously at Gustav Stresemann and asked, "How do you prove my loyalty to you?"
"How about a letter of guarantee?" Gustav Stresemann smiled and took out a document from the jacket pocket, spread it out, and showed it to Akado: "This is a copy with my signature and handprint." The document says that I have unconditionally obeyed any orders from Mr. Akado Rudolph. There is also a detailed introduction of my network, friends, relatives, and all the forces that can be used.
"What do you need me to assure you of?" Akado thought and asked, "This is the last question we talked about today."
"Take us to victory." Gustav Stresemann put down the file and stood up.
"Then you will follow me closely; don't drag my hind legs," Akado said with a smile.
Gustav Stresemann also laughed and said, "What do I need to do?"
"Put the Pluto Project through," Akado said.
...
In the conference room next to the president's office, a group of people is convening the first temporary emergency meeting after Marshal Hindenburg was elected president of Germany. But it seems that the atmosphere in the venue is not so harmonious and even smells of gunpowder.
"We need to increase the military expenditure of the National Defense Force by another 30%." What a joke! Everyone in Germany eats margarine for brown bread, and the money saved can't fill such a large gap. An official of the Ministry of Finance shook his head.
Hindenburg also reluctantly threw the documents on the table and sighed: "This is the condition of the National Defense Forces supporting me to become president." "I can't think about it carefully."
"Since 1920, Germany has not invested more than 200,000 marks in infrastructure." "We seem to have not developed since then." A bearded politician in a suit also complained.
"General Sicket didn't come to the meeting because of illness! It's so ridiculous! "Where did he put the new president and us?" A middle-aged politician took the case and said, "Did he regard the IDF as his private mercenary?"
"Quiet, Mr. Durmke. General Seeckt supported Marshal Hindenburg as president, but he doesn't want to see me now. Akado said with a smile at the very end of the table that he was not enough. As a staff member, President Hindenburg called for a high level of participation in such high-level meetings.
"That's too ridiculous." The politician named Durmke did not intend to use the IDF as an enemy, and he gave up his attack on Seeckt when he saw it.
"What do you think?" Colonel Akado? Rudolph, you now represent the National Defense Forces and have a close relationship with the government. "If you have to take care of both, is there any way?" Hindenburg said it while sporting a beard. It reveals the majesty and momentum of those who have long been in high positions.
"The investment cannot be reduced at all; otherwise, we will still be unable to deal with the crisis in the Ruhr area again!" Akado said. "It is a fact that the National Defense Forces need more funds." We need a lot of money to continue the "Pluto Project."
"This is your opinion?" A politician snorted eagerly, expressing himself in front of the new President Hindenburg: "You want to oust our President Hindenburg!"
"Shut up! "When he finishes talking, otherwise I will throw you out!" Hindenburg glared fiercely at the young man who spoke. One is the head of grass that has just stood out, and the other is the staff that helped themselves to the throne of the president. They do not share the same level of faith in Hindenburg.
"Maybe everyone just saw the first seven pages of the Pluto plan and didn't have much interest in reading it." It says here how much money the National Defense Army needs to research new weapons, and there it says how many War Horse machine guns the National Defense Army needs to buy. "So you certainly don't like it very much," Akado said with a smile.
His humor made several young people laugh, but most elder politicians still looked at him seriously and let him continue talking.
Akado is also happy to continue, so he continued: "The Pluto project has a sub-program called White Dove. Everyone may not take it seriously or understand it carefully. "This plan is the key to resolving the differences between the government and the National Defense Army."
"Oh? "How do you put it?"Hindenburg just vaguely remembered the general content of the white pigeon plan but couldn't remember the details.
"Our army needs railways, highways, inland ports, and other transportation lines; our navy needs large-scale ports; the air force we do not yet need needs airports; the new army needs a large amount of gasoline and diesel reserves; and the war needs to consume a lot of food and steel resources; the production of new weapons requires advanced workers and advanced industrial technology." These things need to be cultivated by the school. Akado stretched out one finger every time he said a word. In the end, he stretched out all ten fingers and was still talking. example.
"What do you mean?" President Hindenburg narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Building the National Defense Force is not contrary to national development." "On the contrary, these efforts are complementary to each other!" Akado stood up and said, "I think the new president should immediately order the "White Dove Project."
He talked eloquently and made everyone's eyes brighter: "The short-term part of this plan will be to build 100 new railways and highways, add new docks to German port cities, and build 79 airports for peacetime air transportation." and reserve for the war period; and the long-term part of this plan will build 20 brand new factories, 50 assembly workshops, and establish 3 schools to train a large number of high-tech talent.
"Once this plan is launched, it is expected that 500,000 jobs will be provided for the whole of Germany." This time, the Defense Force will devote $ 2 million to the plan, and the government must only contribute $ 700,000.Akado finished. Just sit back in his seat.
Buzz! Everyone at the bottom of the discussion started, and the countless funds they invested in the National Defense Army finally saw a return. If this plan is implemented, the German National Defense Army will pay for the German infrastructure, and the new government will get 500,000 jobs in vain. This is the Wehrmacht's strongest support for President Hindenburg's taking office.
Everyone was talking about it and excited about the inspiring IDF concession. Only in the corner, a bearded man with a pockmark sighed softly.
Half an hour later, the "White Dove Project" was approved by President Hindenburg. What is interesting is that when he raised his hand to vote, it was the foreign minister, Gustav Stresemann, who had been there a few days ago. those who oppose Akado's Pluto Project.
