Nine Hundred and Twenty Second, My Emperor

Germany, Polish province, Wolf's Lair.

Akado, the head of the Third Reich, walked quickly in the corridor, and an officer chased after him. He didn't stop until he was not far in front of the head of state, and then stood at attention and raised his arms to salute: "Long live head of state Rudolf Akado! The latest report on the frontline battle situation just arrived..."

"Read!" Akado looked a little anxious. Behind him, Anna helped him carry his coat and briefcase. Obviously, just now, the head of state wanted to go out immediately, but was overwhelmed by the battle situation from the front. delayed. Akado frowned, and then told the visitor to finish reading the telegram quickly.

"G Group Army has exchanged fire with the Soviet Union's southward cluster. The battle between the two sides is very fierce. Yesterday, Group G Army lost --- m51 tanks..." The officer immediately opened the telegram and read the latest from the Battle of Kursk : "Our army's defense line was forced to move back 30 kilometers..."

"I got it! Tell Guderian to try to hold back the Soviet troops heading south, so that Küchler's Army Group n can have enough time to take Stalingrad. The fate of the empire is won or lost in one fell swoop." Akado interrupted the other party's report and spoke. Regarding Kursk, he has done his best, and all he can do now is to wait for a result.

After saying this, Akado continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "I'm going back to Berlin now, if you have anything to do, you can directly contact the residence of the Führer. The frontline matters are left to Brauchitsch and Lun The two marshals of Destedt, let them pass on the situation to me as soon as possible."

I don't know why, every decisive battle on the German front line, Akado seems to have no luck to stay on the front line where he should stay most. During the last battle in Poland, Acador was in the rear; in the last battle, he was also not on the Eastern Front for other reasons.

Just a few hours ago, Accador was still anxious about the upcoming battle of Kursk, but in the end, a more painful thing came to him. Father August, who was far behind Berlin, was seriously ill and had arrived. to the point of dying at any time.

For this old man who is both a teacher and a friend, who is also like half an elder, Akado respects him and has countless things to say to him. So when he heard that the German Chancellor was running out of time, his first reaction was to rush back to Berlin and see the old man one last time.

Dominis has taken over most of the German Chancellor's duties, and since there have been no new policy changes, there haven't been any new problems for the time being. Akado felt that it was necessary to meet Mr. Augustus in person at such a time. After all, there were so many things that required him to preside over the handover in person.

Hearing the news that Mr. Augustus was critically ill, Akado's mood was a little unstable, because after so many years of experience, he had become calm, and now he seemed a little nervous and uneasy. So he decided to put down the front line where the battle was in full swing, and return to Berlin first to stabilize his base camp.

In the special airfield beside the wolf's lair, a plane that had been ready for a long time was waiting on the apron. The surrounding SS officers were at five steps, one post at ten steps, and one post at ten steps. Next to it, until the head of state's car drove into the airport.

"Long live the head of state, Akado? Rudolph!" When Akado got out of the car, everyone raised their right hands high. Accompanied by guards, his secretary, and various entourages, Akado just stepped onto the landline that had started the engine.

The plane quickly flew into the sky, and then the escorting fighter jets densely arranged a tight defensive formation around the plane of the head of state. 10 fighter jets covered Akado's plane, and flew towards Berlin, the core area of ​​the empire, so quickly. past.

"Don't worry, Mr. Augustus will be fine." Anna held Akado's hand tightly on the plane and comforted him.

Akado looked out the window of the plane, watched the white clouds pass by his wings, sighed, and then said slowly: "Mr. Augustus has never let others tell me about his condition... This time he didn't stop me, and Mercedes wasn't afraid of my distraction, so it proves that the old man's side is really...really very dangerous."

Seeing Akado's uncomfortable appearance, Anna also lowered her head involuntarily. She knew Mr. Augustus earlier than Akado, and he recommended this old man to Akado. Since this old man entered Akado's circle, he has indeed become the No. 2 figure in Akado's group, helping Akado deal with many difficult internal affairs issues.

It's a pity that the old man has been 71 years old since he entered Akado's circle. The real hero is late - if God makes him twenty years younger, then the Third Reich will create a miracle that the whole world can only look up to in his hands.

This is no less than causing Akado to lose dozens of divisions of troops, because no one knows better than Akado what problems exist in the entire empire. He can change the strength of a country's military in a short period of time, and can also expand a country's industrial production capacity in a short period of time, but there is something he can't do, that is, to use skilled methods to bridge various conflicts and conflicts within the entire empire. crack.

Akado is powerful, he can suppress all discordant voices within the empire, but he cannot eradicate these hidden dangers in the future. Augustus is such a talent who can help Akado improve his internal affairs. But the sad thing is that this vital talent is about to leave him because of the holidays.

I still have many, many questions to ask this wise old man. Akado screamed in pain in his heart. He really has countless things he doesn't understand or dare not think about, so he wants to ask this old man who is familiar with the internal affairs of the empire. At least a few fatal questions must be asked, and some questions related to the future of the entire empire require Augustus to put forward his own opinions.

This is also an important reason why Akado left the front line and rushed back to Berlin. At least compared to Augustus, the battle situation on the front line did not seem so terminally ill. So Akado decisively left Kursk on the Eastern Front, which was fighting fiercely, and resolutely rushed back to Berlin, where the weather was already pleasant.

The plane flew over Berlin while Akado was thinking intermittently. The head of state plane slowly parked on the tarmac, and a group of internal affairs officials from the empire surrounded them and waited on both sides of the door of the head of state plane.

The hatch opened, and Anna walked out of the cabin first, followed by Akado himself. So everyone raised their arms and yelled the slogan so familiar that they yelled it three times in their dreams: "Long live the head of state, Akado? Rudolf!"

"What's the matter with the Prime Minister?" Akado waved his hand casually, signaling his subordinates to stop talking nonsense. There were many people who greeted him, and the first one was Dominis, the new prime minister of the empire, so Akado didn't ask anyone else, but directly asked the favorite student of Mr. Augustus.

"The prime minister's condition is very bad, and his state is quite unstable. He was still in a coma before we came... But please rest assured, the head of state, the best doctor and equipment in the world have been prepared for the old man." Domi Nice replied immediately. Obviously, he was very familiar with the treatment process of old man Augustus, and immediately introduced several doctors in charge of the old man to Accado, as well as experts and elites from the medical university.

"I don't care what method you use, you must cure Mr. Augustus for me. This is an order from the empire, do you understand?" Akado issued his order, which seemed a bit difficult. But for other orders, this time's coercion seems to be the most gentle one.

The convoy started quickly, and Akado drove all the way back to downtown Berlin in the most luxurious special car for the head of state. There were not many people waiting for the leader of the Greater German Party and other high-ranking officials in the hospital corridor. But the Reich Chancellor in the room and the Führer of the Reich coming in the corridor is another matter.

Akado, who was extremely anxious, did not rest or go to other places. He walked directly to the ward of Mr. Augustus, and then he motioned for others to gently lift a chair so as not to disturb Augustus who was closing his eyes.

Looking at the skinny old man, Akado's eyes were a little stingy. He motioned for the others to leave the ward, while he sat by the bed in silence, waiting for the old man to open his eyes. .

He remembered the old man's wicked smile when he hinted that he was the emperor. Just like Sickert who died in depression in China, they have all done their whole lives for their beloved motherland. In their own way, right or wrong, they have fought for their ideals all their lives.

In front of the old man's hospital bed, there was a stack of newspapers from all over the world. The top one was an American newspaper, which published the news that the United States defeated the Japanese defenders in the Australian interior.

Every nation has its own hope. If the United States has its own heroes, and Japan has its own heroes, then Germany has more heroes, and none of them is inferior. At least the old man on the bed, Akado is willing to exchange a few battleships, and Akado is willing to exchange the latest jet fighter blueprints.

"Ah...so you're back." Seemingly sensing someone sitting beside him, the haggard Augustus squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and said a soft greeting: "My respected Emperor... you are back."
