"This is just an Illuminati's peripheral recruitment, and his target is the captured German noble officers." Weirle replied.

"They are working for the French?" The head of empire tapped his fingers against the edge of the cup.

"It's not entirely true that there are senior French officers among the members of the Illuminati, so they only need to spend a little money to bribe the guards, and their people can go to and from the prisoner-of-war camps freely." The Chief of Staff picked up his glass and took a sip.

"This is very logical, let's continue." Xu Jun pushed the wine glass.

"Kuenberg was not bewitched by Hansen at the beginning. He was determined to escape from the prisoner-of-war camp." Weirle continued: "But you know, after the Battle of the Marne River, the strategic situation could not be changed. The German front retreated under the French offensive. By the time Kuenberg recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital, it was September 18, and there were less than two months left before the end of the war."

"His escape plan was not successful?" Xu Jun laughed.

"He didn't have time to implement it, and the war was over." Weirle also replied with a smile.

"It's really regrettable." The head of state raised his eyebrows and spit out a cigarette.

"When Germany was defeated, Kuhnberg had a premonition, but when things really happened, he found that he could not accept this fact at all." Weirle continued.

Kuhnberg's emotions fell into a trough. After the count lost his honor, he then lost his confidence. In Kuhnberg's eyes, the sacrifices he and his subordinates made were worthless. They were betrayed by cowardly politicians and traitors. All their blood and sweat were exchanged for a notice of death. A year or two later, no one would remember these brave warriors, only their respective families, perhaps with crying and tears, they would miss these once vivid faces.

The Count was both angry and desperate. He didn't know how to explain to his subordinates why he was the only one who survived that battle. After his defeat, he had nothing. He could imagine what he would face when he returned to Germany. He would be sent to the military court because he led the team to attack without authorization.

The officers and soldiers who died in the Third Infantry Battalion would not receive the honors they deserved, just because he, the commander, did not receive the command from the division headquarters. These officers and soldiers completely spontaneously obeyed his orders and launched a final counterattack towards the French army. Once he was investigated by the military court, the command would not only not recognize the achievements of these soldiers, but would instead tarnish the honors they had previously received because of this matter.

Kuhnberg could not return to Germany, nor could he even let the army know that he was still alive, which was the only thing he could do for his subordinates, so that he might get some decent treatment for his soldiers.

Just as the count was in a state of confusion and helplessness, the recruiters of the Illuminati found him again.

"He was convinced by the other party, and it should be said that the other party just satisfies his idea of ​​escaping reality at that time." Weirle picked up the wine glass.

"I can't understand that the clichés of the Illuminati Club are even more attractive?" Xu Jun frowned and dusted off the long ashes from the ashtray.

If the 16th century Illuminati could still attract others to join with knowledge, culture and political ideas, by the early 20th century, the only remaining illuminati would probably be the crazy idea of ​​establishing a world government. They were different from the Freemasons, who relied on their huge and rigorous organizational system and financial means for nearly two hundred years from the mid-18th century to the early 20th century to the beginning of the 20th century, relied on their huge and rigorous organizational system and financial means to gather amazing connections and wealth.

"What they claim to be doing is to save the German people at some point," Weirle said with a wry smile.

"That's how Kuhnberg believed it?"

"He had no second choice at that time." The Chief of Staff tilted his head: "At that time, he was just a young man in his twenties, and he had nowhere to go at that time, and he urgently needed a place to live."

Kuhnberg witnessed the cruel exploitation of Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, and also saw the weakness and incompetence of the Weimar government. He was a staunch patriot and believed that he had an obligation to do something for the country and people.

"Half a year after the war ended, he was arranged to take a cruise to the United States, and then began to move in the German expatriates circle on the east coast city. Light associations need to absorb more manpower and financial resources, and the Germans are generally disgusted with these secret societies, and the identity of an earl can make things easier quickly," Weirle explained.

"He soon became a backbone of the Illuminati Society of America, and was usually involved in social activities in the upper class, dealing with a group of wealthy businessmen, ladies and politicians, spying on unknown inside information and business intelligence. He was a natural intelligence officer, and even he himself did not expect. Kuhnberg soon became famous in the upper class of New York, Chicago and Detroit, and everyone knew that there was such a handsome German earl.

Light provided him with all the supplies, money, luxury cars, customized high-end clothing, high-end apartments and bodyguards. His aristocratic temperament could help him quickly gain the trust of others. No one would have thought that the elegant German count in front of him was actually a commercial spy packaged by Light." Weirle took a sip of wine and placed the cup on the edge of the table.

"It's like a legendary novel." Xu Jun said, nodding his head.

"It is indeed as you said, I thought so when I first heard it." Weirle quickly echoed.

"Kuenberg is a smart man. He will also use the situation he found out to seek some benefits for himself. In a few years, he saved a lot of money and bought luxury apartments and cars, and gradually no longer needed the funding provided by the Illuminati. His status in the Illuminati also began to improve, and soon he became a middle-level cadre on the east coast of the Illuminati in the United States." Weirle stroked the ends of his ears: "Kuenberg told me that his thoughts were naive at that time, and he was full of his mind to return to Europe, leading the German people to overthrow the Weimar government, welcome the emperor to rebuild the imperial system, and at the same time restore the Kingdom of Bavaria."

The Bavarian royal family was overthrown after the defeat and its territory was divided into a state of Germany. However, a large number of old and young people from the Kingdom era remained in the local area. They were determined to rebuild the Bavarian Kingdom and regain their lost privileges and glory.

"This is not surprising. After all, they are nobles who have experienced the imperial era. Until now, there are still many of my marshals and generals who are supporters of the imperial system." Xu Jun said with a twisted his wrist.

This is indeed no secret. The Army itself is the base camp of the royalists. If Hitler had not used the Fletcher and Brenberg incidents to clean up the Army several times and transferred a group of senior generals who supported the restoration and opposed the Nazis from the command center. Some of them were even forced to retire, maybe one day Germany would suddenly have an emperor again.

"Before this, they were your marshal and general, my head of state, and we have all sworn to you that no one will break the sacred oath of loyalty." Weirle respectfully reminded.

"So I never doubted them, Weirle." Xu Jun raised his eyebrows.

The head of the empire disagreed with this. The oath was only effective for those who were willing to be loyal to it. Canaris made an oath, and Baker also made an oath, and Witzleben and Stauffenberg also made an oath, which of the members of the cabal did not swear allegiance to Hitler, but in the end, the count almost blew the person who was loyal to him. Now Canaris has been shot and Baker has been arrested by the General Security Bureau. The former chief of staff of the Army is not as strong as he imagined. He confessed to everyone in the conspiracy group.

"So, Weirle, how could he come to Berlin?" Xu Jun said with a cigar in his mouth.

"There was a financial crisis in the United States and the whole society began to decline. The Illuminati suffered heavy losses in the stock market. The wealth accumulated after finally became vanished in a few days. Kuhnberg relied on his previous savings and could still maintain a comfortable life. He opened a trading company himself to sell second-hand mobile beds and tools produced in the United States to Germany, and the business was quite good. During that time, he fell in love with the daughter of a seller. The two got married four years ago. The next year, his wife gave birth to his first child, a girl, named Helen." Weirler shook his wine glass.

"Good name." Xu Jun said, spitting out smoke.

"Yes, my head of state. After we annexed Poland in 1939, the Illuminati decided to increase its investment in Europe. They were very concerned about Germany's military success and believed it was their chance to return to Europe." Weirle said.

"That's after Hitler cleaned up the Freemasons. The demise of the German Freemasons left room for the Lighthouse." Xu Jun said, touching his chin with his finger.

"It's not just the Freemasons, but also the Jews," Weirle replied.

"Oh, I almost forgot that there are them." Xu Jun nodded in agreement.
