My Third Empire

Four Hundred and Twenty Three Stars

"Now, we still underestimated the determination of the British side to go to war.∷" Akado looked at the exhausted Master Augustus who hurried to Rotterdam and said with some frustration.

Augustus walked beside Akado on crutches, coughed a few times before speaking: "My head of state, the enemy's reaction cannot be imagined unilaterally in war, and even at this moment it is impossible to speculate that the British will fight in the future." When will you surrender?"

"The tragic Norwich street battle exhausted General Lundstedt physically and mentally, and the A Group Army in his hands was exhausted. If this continues, our battle in the British mainland will become an arduous tug-of-war. This kind of battle with constant loss of troops is not ours. Good at it." Akado said worriedly.

Augustus saw Akado's entanglement and unwillingness. He knew that the head of state seemed to have the intention to give up the British war situation. Just this afternoon, he had asked several combat staff and military advisers, and briefly discussed the transportation of a Possibility of Army Group to Iceland.

In fact, Acado was even more reluctant than Hitler to see a stalemate tug-of-war. As a history assistant from the 21st century, he was more inclined to opportunistic and quick wins. Therefore, when the war entered a brutal battle in Britain, the first thing he thought of was not to rely on brute force to win it, but how to use another method to break the deadlock and change the situation.

Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not support wealth. Akado, who was born as a small man, still lacks the atmosphere of talking and laughing, or he still doesn't have the awareness to regard the lives of thousands of soldiers as a set of numbers reflecting the situation of victory and defeat. So Akado tactfully did not interfere with the military's formulation of the campaign. His cleverness lies in his ability to clearly recognize his own shortcomings and disadvantages.

When he, as the head of state and not a general, brought out the intolerance and compassion from the depths of the soul of the little man, this disadvantage became an advantage, this kind of putting the interests of the people first and caring about every soldier The kindness of life has become a concrete manifestation of the phenomenon of being close to the people, having flesh and blood, and caring for the people. Unintentionally, Akado established a nearly perfect image of a national leader, and won the craziest love and support of the German people.

"My head of state. Changing the battle plan now will only make our initial investment meaningless." Augustus had to remind Akado not to do stupid things: "Once the morale of the army is shaken and it is difficult to deal with it, we will attack the United Kingdom. Facing the danger of total failure, at that time all you can do is die with Germany!"

Although he was a little flustered and unable to calmly accept the loss of the German army in the UK, Akado was obviously not completely at a loss. Of course, he knew what consequences he would face if he failed to land in the UK—the part of the destruction of the empire. He has watched the movie countless times, and if that day comes, he can act it out word for word. The point is that he really didn't want to shoot and smash his own head while crushing potassium cyanide. After all, he didn't pay so much to repeat the tragedy.

"I understand what you mean." Akado nodded: "At 3 o'clock in the morning today, I had to personally send 30,000 soldiers out of the Port of Rotterdam, and let them go to the British mainland to fight bravely for the empire.

I hope this sort of thing comes to an end. "

Augustus nodded, knowing that Akado was not completely lost and retreated, he was relieved a lot, so he thought for a while and said: "My head of state, the British are as uncomfortable as us, and they are even worse than our situation. It's even worse. It's not surprising that they surrender in the next second at this time... The key is that whoever can persevere more, and whoever can persevere to the end, will become the hegemon of the entire world."

"I'm looking for you this time because I have more important things to discuss." Akado found that the mess in Germany is really a bit overwhelming. Not reassuring.

Augustus is in charge of the empire's economy and various trivial matters, what is the natural way Akado is worried about, he said with a smile: "Is the head of state worried about the first batch of national bonds and Mifu bonds? "

"Yes, Enrique took out a large amount of funds to express their sincerity. I am hesitating whether to use this money to repay the national debt and Mifu bonds, or continue to grit my teeth and insist on snowballing." Akado smiled wryly Said with a loud voice.

He didn't rush into Rotterdam's Führer's Palace with Augustus, but took a walk around the former Dutch Queen's palace.

Without waiting for Augustus to answer, Akado continued to talk to himself: "Before repaying Mifu bonds and government loans, we used war profits to fill in the hole. Poland is the beginning of this big hole, Norway's The mines have also been divided up by these business giants. However, this primitive division is extremely inefficient. Poland’s light industry and agriculture are okay, and Norway’s mining industry is still tolerable. But I must never give up France These heavy industry cakes in Belgium!"

In another time and space, Germany's utilization of France and Belgium's industrial base was so low that it was heartbreaking. Until the defeat of the war, they did not establish an effective large-scale industrial utilization plan for the occupied areas, wasting the resources of Belgium, France, the Netherlands and other regions in vain. The industrial foundation is so strong that it is challenging the industrial production capacity of the entire world with the strength of one country's industry from beginning to end-if it does not fail, then it is really intolerable.

"The head of state seems to have his own plan, so I, the prime minister, can fully cooperate. If the head of state doesn't mind, you can talk about the plan and let me see if there is anything that needs to be added." Augustus smiled Said.

"The cakes thrown by the Jews should be distributed to those capitalists and plutocrats." Akado nodded and said his plan: "The industrial production capacity of France, Belgium and the Netherlands must be in the hands of the empire! I have already selected the candidate, I have cultivated and observed this person for a long time, and I have kept him hidden until today, just to eat the industrial cake of the entire French occupation area in one bite."

Augustus laughed loudly, then narrowed his eyes and said: "Many people have recommended Speer to me, saying that this person's organizational skills are very good. As a result, the head of state, you have always put him in Jalinek Ka Xi Ya, the father-in-law's subordinates, neither used nor abandoned it. I thought the head of state had some prejudice against this person. I didn't expect the head of state to set up a stage for him here... Your love for talents is really... ... can't compare, can't compare!"

"I don't mind giving talented people the stage they deserve, and I am willing to build a suitable stage for such people! So after Anna recommended you to me, I even took out the prime minister position that had been cancelled. , isn't it just to give you a suitable position?"

"Hahahaha. My head of state is really suitable for my position. He is the prime minister of the empire, not the prime minister." The old man Augustus brought up this topic again.

Naturally, Akado would not continue the conversation on this topic. Proclaiming the emperor is not what he is willing to do, at least not what he is willing to do now-Britain is still alive, isn't proclaiming the emperor a complete joke?

"Since you have already guessed that I plan to use Speer, then you should take good care of the future Minister of Industry of the Empire." Akado put his hands behind his back and continued to walk forward: "I hope that this empire can It’s really becoming a stronger and stronger country.”

Augustus looked at Akado's thin but tall figure walking in the bleak wind, but a hot flame rose in his heart. Leaning on crutches, he continued to follow Akado, whispering as he walked: "Beginning with Sickert, Karl Benz, Stresemann, Hindenburg...there are so many Germans who are deeply They love this country very much, and they revitalize this country in one way or another. How can this country not be strong?"

Akado is also constantly sighing in his heart: Merkel, Speer, Bosch, Krupp, August, Jelinek Cassia, Fanny, Mercedes...; Brauchy Che, Raeder, Rundstedt, Lütjens, Guderian, Rommel, Manstein, Liszt, Kluge... Anyone born in this era is lucky, because he can Standing side by side with so many bright stars, it is unfortunate for anyone born in this era, because even the most dazzling stars will become small under the light of these people.

Augustus held back a word in his heart and did not say it to Accardo. He followed the head of state and walked slowly. It seemed that all problems would be solved, and it seemed that the rise of Germany was unstoppable. He recited these words silently in his heart, extremely pious: "My head of state, in this Germany where there are many heroes and talents, you are the most dazzling star after all."

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Akado stood on the pier and threw away the page of the speech he had prepared for a long time. Standing on the high platform, he said only one sentence to the soldiers who were about to board the ship and go to the battlefield: "Promise me! Do your best to come back alive!"

It was probably the shortest and most unambitious pep talk ever made. Augustus smiled wryly and stood beside the head of state, trying to maintain the calm demeanor that a prime minister of a country should have.

Unexpectedly, the answer to Akado's words was a louder and longer-lasting cry. The cry of "Long live the head of state, Akado? Rudolf!" Everyone can hear. These soldiers are willing to die for their country and their head of state, just like the British across the channel. Along with the crazy soldiers, Augustus raised his right hand and shouted the name that will forever be imprinted in his heart: "Long live Akado? Rudolf!"
