"Seek refuge with me? You must be joking," Akado said with a laugh. Gehr stepped aside from the door, allowing the visitor to enter Akado's apartment. He then stepped outside himself and closed the door. "It is indeed to seek refuge with you. I feel I should find myself a reliable ally, or a strong leader," Gustav Stresemann said very politely. "You may not be very familiar with me. Compared to your reputation at the grassroots of the Reichswehr, I am just a minor figure." "A minor figure?" Akado smiled…-

"Why didn't you give this plan to President Ebert? If he had been able to see the detailed content of this plan, perhaps he wouldn't have made the foolish move of betraying Germany and the Reichswehr," Gustav Stresemann whispered to Akado as they descended the steps together. Akado, pulling on his leather gloves as he walked down the steps, didn't look back at Gustav Stresemann but said directly and loudly, "If it were possible, I had planned to bring this plan out in two years, because this was a tool I…

In the middle of the night, at the home of President Ebert, a dull cracking sound broke the silence as two Reichswehr soldiers in leather boots smashed open the main door. Subsequently, a dozen more Reichswehr soldiers rushed into Ebert's home with their guns raised, surrounding the shocked President Ebert and his family in the center of the room. Akado, using his gloved hand to pat the crease on his left trouser leg, walked into Ebert's living room with a smile on his face. He glanced at Ebert and said…

"Lieutenant Colonel Akado, I find that I can see through you less and less," Seeckt said, sitting in the swaying car and looking at Akado in the passenger seat. "How should I interpret the meaning of that statement? Is it praise or a reprimand?" Akado asked, turning his head with a smile. "As far as I know, you were just a private three years ago, not even considered a grassroots officer. Your file says you are an orphan. Your father was only a middle school teacher, and your mother was a servant; both…

Seeckt paced back and forth in the room, agitated and furious. Akado sat on the sofa in silence. The ticking of the wall clock echoed in the room, making the quiet night seem somewhat terrifying. Time flowed by with this heavy atmosphere, bit by bit, silently. About an hour ago, the Reichswehr had dispatched three companies of troops and secretly arrested the only three secretaries in the president's office. The first secretary was sound asleep in his bed when he was arrested. When the Reichswehr stormed…

"Who are you! This is German territory! You cannot enter as you please!" a Reichswehr soldier carrying a rifle said, staring deadly at the French officer standing before him. Behind him was German territory, and the large French army in front of him showed no intention of stopping. The French officer, his hand resting on the pistol at his waist, looked smugly triumphant. "Get out of the way! We are here under orders to collect the war reparations Germany owes France. If you dare to obstruct us, we will…

1923 was a year of disaster for Germany. From the very beginning of the year, it seemed that nothing was going right. First was the French invasion of the Ruhr industrial zone, which caused production in the entire German heavy industrial region to nearly cease. The Reichswehr's revitalization plan suffered a serious setback, and it added frost to the snow of Germany's already collapsed economy. The German Mark began to devalue drastically. The degree of devaluation was shocking. By the time German…

The bizarre deaths of four French officers in Germany, rumored to be the result of an incredible three-car chain-reaction traffic accident, made everyone sweat for Germany. At the beginning of 1922, cars were not as common as they are today. The streets and alleys were not yet filled with endless streams of traffic. Especially after eight o'clock at night, cars on the street were pitifully few. For a three-car high-speed collision to occur against such a backdrop made many people suspicious. The fact that…

"Comrade Khrushchev! Bringing our German friends here was an order from Comrade General Tukhachevsky! What do you have to question?" Vasilevsky said, turning to look at his subordinate with some displeasure. "Even without the help of those capitalists, we can still produce our own tanks! Produce our own cannons!" Khrushchev retorted loudly. Khrushchev? This was the famous Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev? Akado felt his mind struggling to keep up. A couple of days ago, his office was only a hundred meters…

With a large sum of money, Akado returned to Berlin. Deceiving his superiors and hiding things from his subordinates, he once again obtained a large amount of funding. He transferred this money to the many small companies under his control, allowing them to grow continuously and then earn even more money. No one would believe that a business conglomerate called the White Orchid Group used bank loans and funds from unknown sources to purchase a relatively unknown beverage company in the United States. The…
