"Terror to me? You'd better stop joking." Akado said with a smile. Geer let the door open and let the visitor walk into Akado's house. He walked out of the door by himself and closed the door.

"It's true that I'm relying on you. I think I should find myself a reliable ally or a strong leader." Gustav Stresman said politely: "You may not be familiar with me. Compared to your reputation at the grassroots level of the National Defense Forces, I'm just a small person."

"Little man?" Akado smiled and said, "If the most powerful diplomat in the German Foreign Ministry is Gustav Stresmann, the German Foreign Minister, is a small colonel, then I, a small colonel, will be even less than a good character. Why come to me?"

Gustav Stresman shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "German diplomacy has always been conservative. We are at a loss for the joint suppression of Britain and France. It can even be said that Germany's diplomacy is actually a failure. Now, we have lost the support of the army that we rely on, and the situation is even worse."

He walked to a sofa with great care and sat down, put his hands on the handrail, looking calm: "I saw in the crisis in the Ruhr area that a country but not defense is not feasible. The so-called efforts to rely on diplomacy to defend Germany are also futile. There is no doubt that diplomacy requires strong military support, so at least at this stage our position is consistent, that is, to find a way to build a strong national defense force."

"Minister Gustav Stresman, you still haven't said why you came to me. You can find General Sickett or find Marshal Hindenburg, the new government leader, but you bet your chips on me, a little colonel, which really makes me wonder." Akado walked from the door to the kitchen, poured two cups of brewed coffee inside, and then returned to the living room and placed a cup in front of Gustav Stresman, then asked with another cup.

"Marcedes Hindenburg is in crisis. I am bluntly saying that whether he can sit firmly on his presidential throne needs effective policy implementation to support him. I guess these policies will most likely come from his staff, that is, yours." Gustav Stresman smiled and 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, "As for General Sickett, although he is still the supreme leader of the National Wehrmacht, you can compete with him - don't belittle yourself, you already have this strength."

Akado smiled and said nothing.

Gustav Stresman continued: "I know President Ebert died in revenge from the Defense Forces. He did sell the Defense Forces for the fragile economic situation and internal distribution of power. No matter what his motivation for doing this, it made the situation in Germany worse. So I think he has more to die, and after thinking about it, it is only you who have the ability and courage to kill this former president."

He reached out to stop Akado's argument and continued, "So, I am here to express my loyalty to you, and I will do my best to help you and support you, because our purpose is completely consistent, that is, to make Germany stronger! My reason for surrendering to you is very simple. We are all working hard for Germany to strengthen itself, and you are doing better."

"Then, it's the next question." Akado put down his coffee cup, the smile on his face disappeared, and looked at Gustav Stresman seriously and asked, "How do you prove your loyalty to me?"

"How about a guarantee?" Gustav Stresman smiled and took out a document from his top pocket and spread it out to Akado: "This is a document with my signature and handprints, which says I unconditionally obey any orders from Mr. Akado Rudolph. And a detailed introduction to my personal relationship network, friends, relatives, and all the powers I can use."

"What do you need me to assure you?" Akado thought for a while and asked, "This is the last question we talked about today."

"Take us to victory." Gustav Stresman put down the papers and stood up and said.

"Then you have to follow me closely, don't hold me back." Akado said with a smile.

Gustav Stresman also laughed: "What do you need me to do?"

"Put the Plan of Pluto," Akado said.

...

In the conference room next to the president's office, a group of people were convening the first temporary emergency meeting after Marshal Hindenburg was elected as the German president. However, it seemed that the atmosphere in the venue was not so harmonious, and it even had a bit of gunpowder.

"The military expenditure of the National Defense Forces will increase by another 30%. What a joke? Everyone in Germany goes to eat black bread and uses margarine, and the money saved cannot fill such a big gap." The official from the Ministry of Finance shook his head and said.

Hindenburg also threw the documents on the table helplessly, sighed and said, "This is the condition for the National Defense Forces to support me as president, and I cannot ignore it carefully."

"Since 1920, Germany has invested more than 200,000 marks in infrastructure, and we seem to have not developed since that time." A bearded politician in a suit also complained.

"General Sickett didn't come to the meeting because he was sick! It was so unreasonable! Where did he put the new president and us?" A middle-aged politician slapped the table: "Did he treat the National Welfare as his private mercenary?"

"Don't calm down, General Dumk Sikt supports Marshal Hindenburg as president, but he doesn't want to see me now." Akado said with a smile at the end of the table. He was not at all good enough to attend such high-level meetings. President Hindenburg called him as an aide.

"That's too unreasonable." Obviously, the politician named Dumk did not intend to use the National Defense Force as an enemy, and he stopped and gave up his attack on Sikte when he was about to do so.

"What do you think? Colonel Acardo Rudolph, you now represent the National Defense Forces and are closely related to the government. If you have to take care of both sides, what can I do?" Hindenburg spoke and his bearded man moved, revealing the majesty and momentum of those who have been in power for a long time.

"The investment cannot be reduced at all, otherwise we will still be unable to cope with the crisis in the Ruhr area again!" Akado said: "It is a fact that the Defense Force needs more funds. We need a large amount of funds to continue the Pluto Project."

"Is this your opinion?" A politician snorted coldly, eager to express himself in front of the new president of Hindenburg: "You are trying to oust our President Hindenburg!"

"Shut up! Wait until he finishes his words, or I will throw you out!" Hindenburg glanced at the young man who was talking and said fiercely. One was a fence-breasted man who had just stood up to show his name, and the other was a staff member who helped him ascend to the throne of the president. The two of them were not at the same level of trust in Hindenburg's mind.

"Maybe everyone hasn't had much interest after seeing the first seven pages of the Pluto Project. It says how much the National Defense Forces cost to study new weapons, and how many war horse machine guns the National Defense Forces want to buy. There are places where money is needed, so you definitely don't like it very much." Akado said with a smile.

His humor made several young people laugh, but most of the elderly politicians still looked at him seriously and asked him to continue talking.

Akado was also happy to continue, so he continued: "The Pluto Project has a sub-plan called Bai Ge. Everyone may not have read it carefully or understood it seriously. This plan is the key to resolving the differences between the government and the defense force this time."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Hindenburg only vaguely remembered the general content of the Bai Ge Plan, but couldn't remember the details inside.

"Our army needs transportation lines such as railways, highways, inland ports; our navy needs large-scale ports; the air force we don't have yet to need airports; the new army needs a large amount of gasoline and diesel reserves, the war needs to consume a lot of food and steel resources; the production of new weapons requires advanced workers' advanced industrial technology, and these things need to be trained by schools." Akado stretched out a finger for every word he said, and in the end he stretched out his ten fingers, and was still talking about examples.

"You mean?" President Hindenburg asked with his eyes narrowed.

"Building a National Welfare Force is not contrary to national development. On the contrary, these efforts are complementary!" Akado stood up and said, "I think the new president should immediately order the launch of the White Dove Plan."

He talked freely, and everyone's eyes were lit up: "The short-term part of this plan will build 100 new railways and roads, add new docks to German port cities, build 79 airports for air transport in peacetime and reserves for wartime; and the long-term part of this plan will build 20 brand new factories, 50 assembly workshops, and build 3 schools to cultivate large quantities of high-tech talents."

"Once this plan is launched, it is expected to provide 500,000 jobs for the whole of Germany. This time, the National Defense Forces will allocate $2 million to this plan, and the government will only pay $700,000." After Akado said that, he sat back in his seat.

Buzz! Everyone below was talking about it, and the countless funds they invested in the Defense Force finally saw a return. If this plan begins to be implemented, the German Defense Force will pay for Germany's infrastructure, and the new government has obtained 500,000 jobs in vain. This can be said to be the greatest support of the Defense Force for President Hindenburg's takeover.

Everyone was talking about it, excited for the inspiring National Defense Forces to make concessions. Only in the corner, a big bearded man with a pockmarked face sighed softly.
