What does it mean to be flushed with success? What does it mean to be refreshed and invigorated? Two days later, Akado finally removed the gauze from his nose and returned to his pre-injury appearance. And these past few days, he had been receiving a constant stream of good news, which also brought him comfort and encouragement.

Domestically, the economy, thanks to the annexation of Poland, had finally begun to slowly recover. The large debts owed by the military had already been shifted to the occupied Polish territories. Now, Germany’s economic situation was getting better and better. At least in terms of agricultural products and some daily necessities, purchasing restrictions had gradually begun to be lifted. The whole of Germany was full of vitality.

On another front, Akado had used the opportunity of his illness and fainting to get rid of another batch of hidden opponents. Now, in both the military and political circles of Germany, everyone looked to Akado as their leader. He had achieved an unprecedented level of control and unity in his political and military orders.

Through Fanny’s painstaking management and the frenzied praise and propaganda of the German propaganda department, Akado had begun to ascend to a divine pedestal, becoming the greatest leader in the hearts of the German people. His every move was supported by the people. The Greater German Party had easily taken ninety percent of the seats in the Reichstag elections, and Akado’s personal approval rating among the public was almost one hundred percent.

Abroad, his army of a million men was rampaging through Belgium and France. The vanguard had already advanced to the vicinity of the important French town of Sedan. The Allied forces deployed at Sedan were not numerous. As long as von Rundstedt could take this city in one go, then it could be said that Germany’s defeat of France was already a foregone conclusion.

The navy, which had been the most worrying, had recently won one victory after another. First, the main fleet had sunk one British Royal Navy battleship and one aircraft carrier in the Atlantic in one go. Then, a German submarine had successfully launched a sneak attack on Scapa Flow, sinking two British battleships and one aircraft carrier. The spell of cowardice that had plagued the German navy was now completely and thoroughly broken.

Dönitz had already ordered the wolfpacks to begin attacking Britain’s vulnerable transport supply lines. It had already been confirmed that wolfpack number 2 had sunk three ships of a transport fleet on a fixed British shipping route in one go. The British government had begun to feel the predicament of having its neck tightened.

So he was in a very good mood as he looked out the window at the snow-covered landscape. He hummed a little tune and picked up a report on the operations of the Munich Volkswagen automobile company’s subsidiary. A brand-new Volkswagen car was beginning to be produced there. This car had a beautiful style and elegant lines and was beginning to be sold domestically and in countries like Italy and Romania as a civilian car.

He never read the newspapers, because he knew much more than what was reported in them. The job of reading the newspapers belonged to his work secretary, Cindra. She was responsible for reading the papers and then transcribing any possibly important content to be sent to the Führer for analysis. But this work was not frequent. After all, most of the content in the newspapers had already been confirmed by the Führer’s Residence and Fanny’s side. If it was really necessary, Fanny would call to confirm.

“Good morning, my dear,” Mercedes said, stretching as she walked from the bedroom into the living room. She was wearing a thick, fluffy nightgown. But the cinched waist design did not hide her proud figure; on the contrary, it made her even more charming.

“Good morning, my dear,” Akado said, putting away the report and smiling at his beautiful wife. He then yawned and continued, “I’ve already asked Anna to prepare breakfast. We’ll eat together in a bit. I have a military conference to attend in the morning. You can go and have a look at the nearby small town. If you need to, take the guards with you.”

“No, I’m very busy recently. In the morning, I have to deal with the documents of the White Orchid Group and also help you finalize the production plan for the next month,” Mercedes said, shaking her head, her charming long hair swaying. “I also have plans for the afternoon. I’m learning to knit sweaters with Mrs. Brauchitsch. We’ve already made an appointment.”

“You? Learning to knit?” Akado was taken aback for a moment, then imagined the scene of Mercedes in a loose sweater, showing off her long, beautiful legs. He suddenly felt a slight itch in his nose. It seemed the wound had not yet fully healed.

He awkwardly touched his cheek, then said with a bit of longing and anticipation, “Learning to knit is not bad, but you must pay attention to your rest. Don’t get too tired.”

“You!” Mercedes said with a charming laugh. “What kind of messy things are in your head? Last night you even asked me to do such an embarrassing thing…”

You’re trying to commit murder! Akado’s blood was about to rush to his head and cause another nosebleed. He took two deep breaths to calm his “little brother” down, then, with a slight blush on his face, he changed the subject. “Oh, that’s right. Didn’t I ask you to supervise the helicopter experiment two days ago? How is the progress?”

Akado had no choice but to suddenly ask such a serious question, because he found that if he didn’t find a way, he was going to take Mercedes back to the bedroom and do it again. The enchanting scene from last night had almost made him lose his composure. Forcibly suppressing this impulse for daytime debauchery, Akado had to raise the white flag and discuss serious business.

“What progress?” Mercedes purred, blinking her eyes and smiling mischievously. As she spoke, she even put her index finger to the corner of her mouth, a very seductive gesture.

“Breakfast is here!” Anna finally appeared “in the nick of time,” forcing Mercedes’s game to be paused. The two great beauties then began to arrange breakfast in front of Akado, and the atmosphere instantly changed from romantic to lively. Of course, Akado let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been saved. It seems that being able to remain composed in the presence of a beautiful woman is a real test of willpower. I am clearly not very firm, Akado thought to himself.

But breakfast was quickly prepared, so Akado collected his thoughts and had breakfast with the two angelically beautiful girls. Compared to the hard fare at the front, the breakfast at the Felsennest was indeed luxurious enough. There was toasted bread and fresh natural butter, fried eggs, ham, and bacon, all of which looked very tempting.

“The final prototype tests for the helicopter have been completed, and its reliability is not bad. To save costs, spliced cockpit glass was used, so the pilot’s field of view is very average,” Mercedes said as she ate her bread without butter.

As a flawlessly beautiful woman, she had to pay a higher price than others, such as strictly controlling her diet and never eating high-calorie foods. In 1938, there was no scientific basis for this, but experience had told women what things would make them fat.

The helicopter experiment was progressing very smoothly, but because it could not be used as a main combat weapon on the front lines, this support equipment had to make way for the production of main combat equipment. Therefore, with the Fw-190D making extensive use of curved acrylic processing, the helicopter could not occupy the curved acrylic production line.

There was even an idea to only install a windshield on the front of the helicopter, with the other parts being completely open-air in design. And this almost insulting design had actually been approved by the army’s procurement department—the reason being to save materials like steel and acrylic.

“Of course, this aircraft can land on any open ground, has extremely high passability, and can sling-load 75mm field gun equipment. It is very suitable for mountain combat troops and the transport of important materials,” Mercedes said. As soon as she mentioned work, she revealed that mature, queenly aura, which was completely different from her performance in the bedroom.

“Tell Krupp that the reconnaissance model must be equipped with at least one machine gun. The rest he can decide for himself,” Akado said with a nod. “The helicopters equipped for the various army groups will first be used to transport letters and urgent document packages. For the time being, officers of division level and above are not allowed to fly in them.”

“Anna, remind me in a bit. I need to make a phone call to the Air Force Commander, Kesselring. I want to ask him about the fighter losses. We must thoroughly study the new planes that Britain has put into service. Otherwise, our losses will remain high,” Akado said, looking at Anna.

Anna nodded and replied, “Alright.”

As she replied, she began to rub Akado’s leg with her own taut, slender leg under the table, making Akado’s mind wander and lose his composure again.

Akado thought of those plots in online novels where one man had multiple women, and he felt that he was really weak. That guy had tens of billions in assets and could still juggle a dozen women and still be in a state of tireless enjoyment, while I’m already at my wits’ end and can’t handle just three women.

After finally finishing this splendid breakfast, flanked by two beauties, he really wanted to take these two little vixens to bed and teach them a lesson. If it weren’t for the fact that he had a report from the Field Marshal on the preparations for the Battle of Sedan in a little while, and if it weren’t for the fact that he had lunch with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands at noon, and if it weren’t for the fact that he had a routine meeting of the Greater German Party in the afternoon, and if it weren’t for the fact that he had to receive Keitel, who had rushed back from the front, in the evening, and if it weren’t for the fact that he was hosting a dinner for the Commander-in-Chief of the German armed forces in Poland, Kluge… thinking about all the things he had to do today, he might as well forget about teaching them a lesson.

Man is truly a contradictory animal. On the one hand, he thinks of seizing the power of the world, and on the other, he longs to lie drunk in a beauty’s lap. Little does he know that once you have seized the power of the world, there is no more time to get drunk. And if you wake up from a nap in a beauty’s lap, the world will belong to someone else. This is a complete paradox.

In the end, Akado and Anna hurried out of the room, leaving Mercedes, who had already picked up her financial reports to look at.

But just as they had walked out of the room and closed the door, Anna turned around and embraced Akado, offering her red lips and fragrant tongue. The two of them lingered against the wall for a long time before they separated. Anna placed a hand on Akado’s chest, looked at the man she loved with affection, and said softly, “I missed you.”

Akado’s mouth instantly became dry. Was the weather getting warmer? It was so hot…
