Chapter 30
In the middle of the night, a dull cracking sound broke the tranquility at President Ebert's home, and two Defense Forces soldiers in leather boots broke open the door of Ebert's home.
Then, more than a dozen National Defense Army soldiers rushed into Ebert's home with guns, surrounding Ebert and his family in the center.
While slapping the pants line on his left leg with gloves, Akado walked into Ebert's living room with a smile, glanced at Ebert, and said with a smile: "Hello, former President Mr. Ebert, you have been arrested!"
"Bastard! Do you know what you are talking about? You are a coup! You are attacking the German president! You are treason!" Ebert's face was a little pale, he stared at Akado and said furiously.
"Such coincidence?" Akado laughed: "Ebert, you are committing treason! Are you still in the mood to frame me with this charge?"
"I'm treason? How could I treason?" Ebert sneered and denied: "You are accusing you! It's shameful excuse for the coup!"
"Then what happened when you and Secretary Siman called the Alliance Armed Forces Commission to inform us in the middle of the night? Can you explain it to me? Mr. Ebert." Akado chose a sofa, sat down, and asked with his legs crossed.
"Report the message? Oh, by the way, it was my reply! But I did not betray Germany! It was you who betray Germany! It was you who betrayed Germany! It was you who hate the defence forces!" Ebert said viciously: "It was you who made the whole Germany so barren! You are just a group of selfish vampires!"
He took a step forward angrily, shook his wife and pulled his hand, and shouted angrily: "The German Mark has depreciated so much! You are still increasing your military expenditures, you are squandering, buying vehicles that waste gasoline, and secretly funding the development of new weapons! I have acquired you! So I reported the National Welfare for the future of Germany!"
He looked at Acardo with his head held high and his chest without fear: "Especially you! You have violated the Treaty of Versailles for ulterior motives to expand the National Welfare Army to the death penalty for Germany's economy! Your damn Pluto Project makes me sick! I wish I could hang you on a telephone pole and hang it!"
He spoke incessantly: "As long as the coalition Arms Control Commission seizes the handle of the National Defense Forces, it can implement supervision more strictly, and the National Defense Forces will be forced to abandon those exaggerated military expansion plans! In this way, the government will have more money to build our country!"
Akado sneered: "Haha, but the coalition military control committee failed, and it led to your unexpected tragedy in Ruhr Industrial Zone, causing the entire Germany to suffer unprecedented losses! You have become the country's sinner!"
"I don't plead guilty! These crimes are all you! It was yours that Acardo! If you didn't secretly expand the National Defense Forces, there wouldn't be so many problems!" Ebert yelled hysterically.
"You are wrong! All this will happen because Germany's fragile military power is not enough to defend its country, so we suffer today's shame! But I am planning to retaliate! Please rest assured about this." Akado stood up and said.
"You! You bastard! I want to see Sickett! He won't let you do whatever he wants!" Ebert said loudly.
Acardo walked to Ebert, approached Ebert's ear, and whispered: "I embezzled some of the public funds and purchased more than a dozen companies. I made a profit of nearly one million yuan every month to support the more secretive military expansion plan. Even Sickett didn't know that one day Germany will become stronger and become the world's number one power."
Ebert was stunned, then looked at Acardo with an incredible expression: "Tell me, are you really doing all this for Germany?"
Akado nodded: "You are going to die, I don't need to deceive a dead person. Everything is for the birth of a superpower."
After saying that, Akado took a few steps back, waved his hand and issued an order: "Fire."
"Acardo! You devil! You devil who destroys Germany! One day you will be hanged by the German people!" Ebert looked at the soldiers around him in horror, picked up the rifle, pulled the bolt, and aimed at him.
No one spoke, and this second was quiet and terrible. "Bang!" The first gunshot was followed by the second gunshot, followed by the third, the fourth, and finally there were dense gunshots, and it was hard to tell how many sounds were.
Late at night on November 7, 1923, German President Friedrich Ebert was secretly executed by the Wehrmacht at home. He and his wife were shot to death on the sofa in the living room.
Acardo walked to Ebert's body, reached out to help him close his eyes: "I'm sorry, no one can stop the revival of Germany. Rest in peace, don't be enemies with me in the next life."
Walking out of Ebert's home, Akado got into Geer's car: "Go to Marshal Hindenburg and drive!"
Late at night, German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was resting in bed, was called by his guards, thinking that a colonel named Acardo Rudolph came to visit and claimed that the situation was urgent and that Hindenburg must meet.
Originally, the guard was going to send the small army colonel away, but when the guard saw a truck following the Akado car, at least 20 fully armed soldiers jumped out of the vehicle, he tactfully gave up the idea of driving Akado away.
"Acardo, I remember you! You were nominated for the colonel. It seems that no one has taught you the rules recently! Don't you know that it is very rude to disturb an old marshal in the middle of the night?" Hindenburg said hummingly.
To be honest, judging from the life of Hindenburg that Akado knew, the most glorious moment of his life has passed, and the years when he cooperated with Rudendolf to influence the victory and defeat of the First World War are gone forever. Today, Hindenburg is more like a symbol, a symbol representing the era of the new and old German era.
"Marson! Because President Ebert betrayed the National Wehrmacht and betrayed his motherland! That's why I came to disturb you at night! I'm so sorry!" Akado stood in front of Hindenburg, looking heartbroken.
"What? You asked me to get up in the middle of the night to tell me a joke? Ebert betrayed the National Wehrmacht and sold out his own country? Do you know that talking nonsense is going to lose your head?" Hindenburg was stunned, then frowned and said, "Boy! Isn't you doing this like this when I want to be promoted and get rich! Get out!"
"Marson! President Ebert betrayed the Wehrmacht and obstructed the implementation of the Pluto Plan! The evidence is conclusive! General Sickett approved me to arrest Ebert. Just now, I was ordered to go, but he and his family resisted arrest! Now he and his wife have been shot dead." Akado said with his head down, sweat oozing out of his forehead. The most important gambling victory and defeat in his life will be found by Marshal Hindenburg's answer in the next second.
Perhaps because of the large amount of information, Hindenburg sat there silently for a few seconds before slowly getting up and staring at Akado. He frowned and his eyes remained motionless, as if he wanted to see through the true thoughts in Akado's heart. After a while, he asked, "Did you order the president of the country to death?"
"No! Your Excellency Marshal, I ordered the traitor of the German people to be killed!" Acardo said solemnly.
"So what do you want to say now?" Hindenburg looked at Akado and asked again, "Let me claim the merits of this action you have? I will promote you to your post for killing the president?"
"Marson, I know you have been preparing for the next presidential election. The National Defense Force will fully support you. You will control the entire Berlin early tomorrow morning. The whole of Germany will welcome their new president, Marshal Hindenburg, to take office!" Akado said salutingly.
This time, the silence lasted for more than ten minutes. Hindenburg sat back on the sofa and held his chin and thought seriously. Ebert was dead. Now the empty presidential throne was at his fingertips. It would be of no benefit to deal with the colonel in front of him. It seemed more cost-effective to win over this hard-working young man.
"Can I trust you? Colonel Acardo?" Hindenburg finally asked when Acardo felt that he would be pulled out and shot.
Akado did not speak, walked to the telephone next to Hindenburg, grabbed the phone and said loudly: "Check me the headquarters of the 15th Division... Leo! I am Akado! Order the army to control Berlin! Marshal Hindenburg is already the new president of Germany!"
Hindenburg tidied up his military uniform and looked at Akado and laughed: "Ebert's death must be kept secret! I will plead for you on Sickett's side, you will not have anything to do! Starting today, you should take responsibility for me."
Akado smiled. He knew he had bet right. His action allowed Hindenburg to take office as president two years ahead of schedule - the price was that Sickett no longer valued him; the gain was that he gained more independent development space.
Early in the morning of November 8, 1923, the National Defense Forces and several government officials released a message that German President Ebert was attacked by Germany on the night of the 7th, and President Ebert and his wife were both killed.
Subsequently, the German government announced an emergency plan to appoint the respected former German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg as the German President, which will take effect immediately.
Sicket got the news of President Ebert's death in his office, threw his favorite coffee cup and scolded Akado for half an hour. However, when Hindenburg's private secretary arrived and told Hindenburg to support Akado, Sicket had to issue an order to make Akado responsible for the formation of the new 22nd Division of the National Defense Forces near Berlin.
Just as Akado returned to his apartment with his tired body proudly, an uninvited guest knocked on Akado's door.
"Who!" Akado asked while signaling Geer to go over and open the door.
