Sicket glanced at Akado, smiled, and sat back on the sofa. Now that the overall situation was settled, he felt a little relief.

"Do you remember when I just came here?" Sickett raised his legs and said with some remembrance: "You were still..."

"I was still a captain at that time." Akado continued with a smile: "You gave me a plan for the formation of the 1st Division, let me read it, and then let me express my opinions. I said I would build a mechanized division with strong mobility, and you agree to give it a try."

"But I don't trust mechanics in my heart. Those cars and armored vehicles are not reliable." Sickett glanced at Akado and said, "I promised you to try it, but at that time I really couldn't let the National Defense Force deal with future wars, so I asked you to go with a try."

"I've finally satisfied you." Akado smiled proudly: "I said! I am the only one in the entire Defense Forces General Command who is competent for this job."

"You did a good job! Form a sniper force, develop the Gestapo, secretly implement the "Pluto Plan" you formulated, go to the Soviet Union, and secretly visit China. You have completed the tasks I gave you and your own tasks well. This is why I can't bear to deal with you against my wishes." Sickett sighed and said.

Akado stood at attention, knocked the heel of the leather boots with a crisp sound, and gave Sicket a standard military salute, then bent down ninety degrees: "Thank you for your cultivation of the humble ranks! I will inherit your will and turn the National Welfare Army into the world's most powerful army."

"Without my constraints, the National Defense Force will become your one-man show, Akado! You'd better not let me down." Sicket stood up, walked to Akado, and patted Akado on the shoulder: "I'll hand the National Defense Force to you."

Akado nodded: "General Sikte, thank you for everything you have done for the Wehrmacht."

"General Harmon has followed me for many years, and I hope you will treat him well." Sickett seemed to remember something, walked to his desk, picked up a pen, wrote many names and positions in his notebook, and handed them over to Akado.

He looked at Akado's puzzled look and smiled barely: "We are fighting between us, and we are competing for the future of the National Defense Forces. Since you win, it is proven that you are the better choice! I have nothing to bless you, because after all, as competitors, we really don't have anything to give to you, so I'll give to you these."

He pointed to the names and positions on the paper: "These are my people, I'll hand them over to you. If you don't mind, I can call them and explain them."

Akadoha laughed: "General Sikte, I have no intention of killing you, and you don't have to give me so much. You can take a week off and then take time to have afternoon tea with the people on this list."

Sicket raised his eyebrows: "You really don't kill me? Are you so confident that I won't make a comeback?"

"God General, as you said, we are fighting for the future of the National Defense Forces. If I lose one day, it will prove that the National Defense Forces will take a step forward under your leadership, right?" Akado said.

Sicket let out a breath, stretched out his finger and pointed Akado: "I was only sure today that I didn't choose the wrong person."

"I have prepared a villa for you in the suburbs of Berlin, and I hope you like it." Akado waved his hand: "Ger, send General Sicket downstairs!"

Sickett laughed and walked out of the office he had been sitting in for more than four years.

The next day, the German government announced that in view of General Sikt's reckless move inviting the former German Imperial Crown Prince to watch the military exercise, General Sikt was allowed to resign and hand over the power of the commander-in-chief of the National Wehrmacht.

At the same time, General Kut von Hamestein was appointed as the new commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, promoted Acardo Rudolph to major general, and led a newly established secret agency called "The General Staff of the National Defense Forces" by Hindenburg.

In fact, General Kurt von Hamestein is just a cover. All the affairs of the National Defense Forces must be decided by the General Staff of the National Defense Forces. The power of the entire Defense Forces has fallen into the hands of the newly promoted Major General Acardo Rudolph.

Akado, who took office, immediately ordered the promotion of Guderian to colonel of the National Defense Forces and command the 25th Armored Division; the promotion of Hulk to the acting 1st Division of the lieutenant colonel; the promotion of Kruze to the acting 3rd Division of the lieutenant colonel; the promotion of Bolaochic, who had just joined the Great German Party, was commanded by the 4th Division; Ruz continued to command the 2nd Division; Renn continued to command the 15th Division.

In addition to Carter, the commander of the 22nd Division, which was originally formed by Akado himself, the defense force directly controlled by Akado's direct line, with more than 100,000 troops. He has firmly controlled the Bavaria and Ruhr industrial zones and the areas near Berlin, and has grabbed most of Germany in his hands.

Akado would not believe Sikt's words, believing that the generals who originally supported Sikt would turn to their own disciples, so he transferred all the generals who had something to do with Sikt to some cold yamen. The worst was Sikt's loyal Colonel Nazmer, who was assigned to Guderian's armored force as a regiment commander. Guderian was very "taken care" of this old boss who had once made things difficult for him.

However, there are also smart people among Sikte's old friends. General Chaisivit applied to join the Great German Party the day after Sikte stepped down. His application was also approved, so he was appointed as the commander of the 19th Division and replaced another General Sikte's old subordinate.

Sikte Acardo did not leave him idle either. He found a job that suited him very well for his old boss - to send this experienced general to China.

Originally, General Sikte went to China in 1933, but Akado sent Sikte, who had just retired, to China at the end of 1924 based on national complexes and self-interests. This was 9 years earlier than Sikte's history of traveling to China.

Chiang Kai-shek, an old friend of Germany in China, was very happy and personally received Sikt, the former commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht. After a long talk, Sikt was appointed as a private military adviser.

Akado hopes that Sikte can help Chiang Kai-shek strengthen the Chinese team, play a greater role in the possible future Japanese invasion war, hold back the Japanese and make Japan run away on the Chinese battlefield.

Of course, Sikte alone is not enough. Akado sold a large number of equipment eliminated from Germany to Chiang Kai-shek, including more than 2,000 bicycles eliminated from the 1st Division of the National Defense Forces.

These equipments were to be handed over to the newly formed troops on the second line, but Akado's National Defense Forces were eager to use money and had to sell them. China picked up a cheap and affordable price, and Germany received the urgently needed funds.

However, General Sikt, who went to China in advance, also encountered unprecedented difficulties. Because the time was ahead of schedule, Chiang Kai-shek was not able to control most of China, which made Sikt's work unable to be fully popularized. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek was busy cleaning up the Central Plains region under warlord separatist control.

Another unfavorable factor is that the leader of the Kuomintang, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, was seriously ill at this moment, but he still accepted the invitation from Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yuxiang, Duan Qirui and others, and set off for Beijing to discuss the country's affairs. Akado knew that this historical great man would die in Beijing in a few months, but the land of China at dawn fell into a brief darkness.

Even with so many difficulties, Sikte still brought many surprises to Chiang Kai-shek. With the rigor of a German man, he made Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang army look brand new in just a few months.

Germany's plan to secretly aid the Soviet Union also reached its peak. German engineers built two of the largest Soviet tank factories in Kiev and Minsk, the Soviet Union, and ten large arsenals in some other places to produce shells and guns.

The Soviets were also very generous. They used a large amount of oil and raw materials to pay Germany's foreign exchange reserves, and also provided nearly one million tons of corn and potatoes for free. Although farmers in many areas of China were still hungry, they did not affect the dream of the top Soviet Union's industrial empire.

The National Defense Forces themselves were not idle either. Akado saved money and saved some money. He bought 30 new P-2 tanks from Man Company in one go, which doubled the tanks of Guderian's 25th Armored Division. Although the supply was still in short supply, it doubled the shortage of tanks after all.

Moreover, Bai Lanhua Group, a subsidiary of Akado, officially took root in the aviation industry. He established Imperial Airlines to produce a new type of twin-propeller transport aircraft, and undertake various air transportation businesses in Germany.

However, the company's main business is to provide training for the newly established German paratroopers in Acardo, as well as to transport German rapid assault troops and important military supplies in possible wars.

While Akado's slow reorganization and development of the National Defense Forces, Akado's old friend Adolf Hitler was sorting out his oral narrative in prison, the famous "My Struggle". Because of his wonderful court debates and self-statements, he completely transformed the Nazi Party from a small party to a large party.

So he was actually very free in prison, with independent rooms and even bright windows in the room. He was even allowed to visit by friends, and his assistants could go to his cell every day to write his autobiography for him.

He was waiting, waiting for the day when he walked out of prison, and that day he would be reborn in Nirvana, like a phoenix as if he was invincible.
