My Third Empire

Under the dark night, in Berlin, the capital of Germany, a crisp gunshot echoed in the night sky, disturbing the silence of this moment.

The siren then sounded, and the clanging of leather boots on the ground came from all directions. The coup had been planned for a long time and broke out in March 1920.

Which unit are you from? Report your number! This is the fifth block, and we're going to shoot one step further! the officer hiding behind the sandbag shouted loudly.

Put down the weapons in your hands immediately! The army is taking over here! The person on the other side was unequivocal, and took out a pistol and waved it. Behind him, a group of fierce old German army with rifles rushed up.

Bah! A bullet hit the sandbag, and the officers and soldiers inside immediately threw their weapons out: God! Don't shoot! We surrender! The defenders inside obviously lacked the courage to fight in the first battle. What they thought was very simple: let the loyal ones go to hell, if they die under their own guns, they will be taken advantage of, who will not surrender and who will be raised by their grandsons!

At the door of the Reichstag, neatly lined up in two rows, soldiers stood at attention with long rifles to greet their commander: General Walter von Lutwitz.

God! After a sigh, Hulk, the commander of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, threw the telegram on his desk helplessly, and looked at his men helplessly. In his office stood the deputy commander Bretz. , three battalion commanders: the first battalion commander Vico, the second battalion commander Hans, and the third battalion commander Bruder, as well as the guard company commander Henke.

Of course, in the last platoon there is Lieutenant Akkado, who temporarily belongs to the 103rd Regiment. He has just heard the news from Berlin that the old army has finally parted ways with the German government, and the soldiers are now standing in a very delicate position - Walter General von Lutwitz led a part of the garrison in Berlin to capture Berlin and sent a telegram to all German troops asking for support from all German troops.

Vico's broad chin has the taste of a Prussian soldier. He frowned and thought for a while before saying: I think we should keep silent, this is a bit strange, although they have occupied Berlin, we better look at the limelight first. .

Is there any other way? It's now... Hulk thought for a while and nodded in agreement, but he was interrupted in the middle of his words.

I'm sorry! Arcador raised his hand and said, We should send a telegram immediately, and we should tell everyone that we don't want to join forces with the old army!

Second lieutenant! Those are also our German soldiers! It's fine even if we don't help, but if we stab in the back, we will be looked down upon by other troops! The third battalion commander Bruder looked back at Akado and said.

Arkado glanced at Hulk, then took a step forward and said loudly: I look down on it? What reason is this?

So, why not agree, but disagree? Can you talk about it? Hulk asked curiously.

Have you all read the content of this power-on? They have no follow-up preparations at all, and they haven't even dealt with the things that should be handled. I don't want to be buried with such people. I wonder if you have a hobby of seeking death? Arcador smiled and shrugged in response to the Hulk's question.

What do you mean? Let's talk about it. Among the officers in the room were two nobles, four of whom had gone to college, so everyone was very rational. The deputy head of the regiment, Bretz, was also very interested in this statement, looking at Arkado and asking.

They don't have a long-term plan at all, they don't want to set up an army-controlled government organization,

There was no puppet to come to power, and the whole of Berlin was messed up, and it would be strange if they could all succeed. Accardo analyzed the whole incident, and in one sentence said that the action was full of flaws.

It's considered that there is no follow-up preparation, but why do you say that they have not dealt with the things they should have dealt with now? Hans, the battalion commander of the second battalion, couldn't wait to ask.

Arcado glanced at Hans and raised his eyebrows: If I planned this operation, then at least President Ebert should be arrested and killed in an accident. Even if the whole world knows that I did it, but If there is no evidence, it can only be admitted. In this way, no matter who supports the newly elected president, he will be grateful for this action, and those who execute the action will not be punished too severely, right?

High! Hulk smiled and gave Akado a thumbs up: As you said, if it was your plan, then we wouldn't be so indecisive, just follow behind you and wait. News of victory is enough.

He stood up, walked to Akado's side, and patted Akado's shoulder: But from the standpoint of a soldier, your handling is a bit too harsh, and I still hope that you will be less hostile in the future. it is good.

After speaking, he went to the deputy head of the regiment Bretz: Go to the regiment staff, convey my order, and send a telegram, saying that our 103rd regiment does not support General Walter von Lutwitz, and we are firm. on the side of the German people.

The next day, General Walter von Lutwitz did not know which aide he followed the bizarre advice, and finally found an obscure civilian official from among the officials of the German Ministry of Agriculture who had resigned. Put this man named Wolfgang Karp appointed Chancellor of Germany.

Despite the continuous nationwide criticism, the temporary central government actually started to work. On the third day, Hamburg received a ridiculous promotion appointment about a second lieutenant.

Yes, Cruze, the head of the 105th regiment, submitted his report of praising Accardo to the Berlin government chaired by Ebert before leaving, but because of the distance between the two places, Ebert hid in the suburbs of Berlin, The report is still on its way to the German Army Headquarters in Berlin.

However, someone still received this report, that is, General Walter von Lutwitz. He had already been tormented by the defected new army, but he still decided to approve the reports accumulated over the past few days. The real power generals and their subordinates showed goodwill.

You know, not everyone has a brilliant head - General Walter von Lutwitz is such a not-so-wise general Mr. It is clear that everyone is not optimistic about his political gamble, but he is bent on proving his outstanding ability to influence everyone... Well, you don't need me to say more to know how miserable his next life will be.

However, Akado was one of the few beneficiaries of this chaotic coup. The report on his commendation was reviewed and approved, and on the third day of the coup, Akado received his promotion order.

He was promoted to two ranks and became an army captain directly. If General Walter von Lutwitz knew that the kid he promoted exceptionally was the first person to oppose him, he would probably be pissed to death. .

At the same time as Accardo's promotion, a general workers' strike that swept the country began, because the newly formed Karp government was not recognized by the general public and was not generally trusted by the military. Just five days after the Karp coup, General Walter von Lutwitz and Wolfgang Karp were expelled from the presidential palace and became prisoners of the new Wehrmacht that arrived later.

President Ebert returned to power, order was restored in Germany, and the strike ceased naturally after the victory.

History finally lived up to the German people's desire for power. After using Karp to make a big joke, a seasoned and energetic general was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the German Army.

Three months later, the 54-year-old Major General Hans von Sickert was ordered to take over the German Army and became the new commander-in-chief of the German Army. Due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German Navy has only 15,000 people, so it can be said that Rear Admiral Sickert is basically the highest leader of the entire German armed forces.

General Walter von Lutwitz only sat in the chair of the commander-in-chief's office for five days, and was greeted by this thin, tall, slender, tall, typical Prussian soldier named Sickert with monocular lenses on his cheekbones. Major General Sickert is not an unknown character. He emerged in the First World War. As an officer of the General Staff, he organized the German army to break through the Russian defense line on the Eastern Front in 1915, with outstanding military exploits. And as a result, he won the highest military medal of the First World War in Germany, the Order of Prussia.

He was once lent to the Turkish Empire as Minister of Defense, was one of the German representatives when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and was extremely patient and diplomatic. He is also well-read, has a wealth of experience, can speak English, French, and German, and is as familiar with music and art as military tactics - the legendary three-good student, academic master, or the enviable God's darling.

The reason why he is so heavy is that he wants to pay tribute to those distant histories. General Seeckert took the first step in the re-emergence of German military power, but he is far less famous than those German generals who started World War II. .

Without further ado, let's get down to business.

Sickert, who took office, did not delay too much time and came to his office that day. He skillfully placed a thick stack of documents on the upper right corner of the desk, tapped his fingers regularly on the edge of the desk, looked at the young assistant in front of him, and ordered him to be the first commander-in-chief of the German Army. Order: Order, promote Captain Arkado Rudolph, officer of the 103rd Regiment Poison Gas Prevention Group of the New Wehrmacht, Hamburg Garrison, to be a major of the army, and report to the Berlin Army Headquarters immediately.
