The Departure of One Hundred and Fourteen 1 Eras

In Vienna, in the middle of a luxurious hotel, German Chancellor Arkado Rudolph is delivering an exciting speech. This speech was held to celebrate Austria's official status as Germany's Eastern Province.

"Everyone! The era of Germany's rise has come! We will witness the rejuvenation of the entire German nation together! The Germanic people, as the best race in the world, will prosper forever!" supporters shouted.

"Long live Arcador Rudolph!" Everyone raised their glasses in response. There are Viennese celebrities, industrialists, real estate agents, bankers and even famous musicians. They were looking forward to the vision of the Germanic co-prosperity outlined by Accardo, and they frantically supported the new Viennese master.

The news of German control of Austria has been announced, and the streets and alleys of Berlin are full of cheering crowds. Since the last defeat, Germany has taken back its Rhineland under the leadership of Arcador, and then in Arcador's Under the leadership of the annexation of Austria, the name of Arkado Rudolph has become the most fanatical symbol for the Germans.

As soon as Germany annexed Austria, the Americans sent a congratulatory message, claiming that they "completely understand Germany's desire to maintain national unity." They also reiterated that the United States supported Germany's series of eastbound operations.

Subsequently, the United Kingdom also held a press conference, announcing that the United Kingdom will strictly abide by the neutrality on the Germanic national issue and will not provide support or protection to any party, but the United Kingdom unilaterally hopes that all parties will maintain due restraint.

The spokesperson of the Soviet Union's diplomacy said that it would express concern about the eastward expansion of the German border and hope that Germany will develop Soviet-German relations in an attitude of friendship and mutual trust. But in the end, the Soviet Union euphemistically recognized Germany's position in Austria and the Sudetenland, and expressed that the Soviet Union fully understood this.

Italy uncharacteristically supported Germany and sold Austria directly to Germany; France remained silent on this incident until the last second.

Only a few days later, Austria held a referendum under the supervision of Germany. The result of the referendum was not unexpected. Everyone agreed that Austria should be annexed to Germany. Those who supported the proposal accounted for 99% of the total population of Austria. According to the law, Austria announced on the same day that it officially joined Germany and became the eastern province of Germany.

Everyone knows that things are not over yet. After all, the influence of the Germans in the Sudeten region of northern Czechoslovakia continues. With the Rhineland and Austria as an example, almost everyone in Germany feels that the Sudetenland region is already in Germany’s pocket. Everyone is talking about Germany's bright future, the future of being the most powerful country on the European continent again.

At another place at the same time, the medical staff was emergency rescue of an elderly man on a hospital bed. The nurse stared nervously at the hanging bottle hanging by the bed, and the doctor performed cardiac compressions on the elderly man on the bed from time to time. A priest stood beside the bed and prayed softly, hoping that God would step up and help the dying old man.

Finally, an elderly doctor sighed and shook his head. Everyone left the bedside helplessly. Two men in suits stepped forward, pressed the artery between the old man's neck with their hands, and looked at each other. After a glance, he nodded his head: "It's a pity that the time of death is recorded."

Just when the banquet was at its most enthusiastic, a lieutenant colonel hurriedly ran to Arcardo, and said an emergency in his ear: "Mr. Prime Minister, the news just came, Hindenburg. The president is dead."

Akado was stunned, silent for a few seconds, and finally he put down the wine glass in his hand,

Walking to the stage, he motioned for the music to stop. When the venue was quiet, Akado said in the heaviest voice: "I'm sorry, everyone, I am afraid that today's banquet can only be held here."

He looked around and continued: "I just got the news that our beloved President, former Imperial Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, left us forever just an hour ago."

"Oh! God!" The guests below exclaimed, and some women covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, their eyes widened with disbelief. The male guests put down their wine glasses, and many people replaced their smiling faces with standard mourning expressions. Those who can enter here for the banquet have a very changeable face.

"I have been running Germany on behalf of President Hindenburg these days, carrying out the powers and obligations of the German President, so I must rush back to Berlin as soon as possible." Accardo's face was full of regret and sadness: "I hope you will continue as always. Support me, and I will do my best to repay everyone."

Accardo knew he had to get back to Berlin as soon as possible to preside over President Hindenburg's funeral. Then hold the presidency firmly in the palm of your hand. The Greater Deutsches Party had already prepared everything, and only when he returned to Berlin could become the real dictator of Germany.

In fact, the process of German annexation of Austria was not as smooth as it seemed, and in just twenty days of the takeover, the SS and Wehrmacht had to arrest some 3,000 non-cooperators who refused to acknowledge the German occupation and reception, even creating obstacles for the Germans to take over. On Accardo's orders, the men were taken to concentration camps to make quilts and tents for Germany.

The death of Hindenburg removed the last stone on the road of Arkado's monopoly. Arkado knew that from this moment onwards, there would no longer be any obstacles in front of him. Like Hitler once, he would be the only one for the whole of Germany. the emperor.

The departure of Hindenburg marked the end of an era. That era belonged to Mao Qi, Ludendorff, and Hindenburg. Although there were many heroes in the German Empire in that era, but because the final outcome was not glorious, Let these characters be eclipsed. Akado respects them, but has long been determined to surpass them.

Two hours later, Accardo got on the plane back to Berlin and rushed back to the capital of Germany, Berlin, the base camp he worked so hard to run as fast as he could. When his plane landed, the generals of the German Army, Navy and Air Force were assembled in the Wehrmacht headquarters, waiting for their actual commander to arrive.

"Immediately order the army to start implementing the "Bleaching Powder Project". Clean up some of the old divisions of Marshal Hindenburg, and don't cause any fatalities! All generals who have been disarmed must arrange their homes! Give real estate and monetary compensation!" Start assigning tasks to your subordinates.

As he walked, he continued to arrange for the secretary Syndra beside him: "Notify Fanny! Immediately launch a public opinion offensive! I will hear the voice of the people early tomorrow morning! Go now! Immediately!"

Syndra nodded, and immediately took a few steps back and walked in another direction.

"Anna! Inform the SS! Control the family members of these people! Don't expose them! Just keep an eye on me from a distance! If you get an order, arrest them all!" Arcado walked towards his car, not talking to the other side. Anna, who left, said.

An officer ran over from a distance with a worried look on his face. Approaching Accardo, the officer stood at attention and saluted: "Mr. Prime Minister! Just received the news! Because of the news of the death of President Hindenburg, Mr. Stressman returned to Berlin by plane from France, wanting to Catch up on Mr. President's memorial service. But just got the news that the plane crashed on the French-German border because of heavy fog."

"What?" Accardo was stunned. He once tried to extend the lifespan of known historical figures on Karl Benz, but failed; Stressman, who should have died in late 1929, managed to prolong his life.

It's a pity that Stressman, who extended his lifespan, lived three more years, or died in a sudden accident. Does it prove that the lifespan of historical figures cannot be changed? Akado thought of this and shook his head again. He feels that the lifespan of characters can be changed, but the characters whose lifespans have changed will encounter many problems, and will eventually die at a certain point in time. This explanation is more reasonable.

"Is the investigation clear?" He looked back at the officer who reported the letter: "Call the French government immediately to confirm the news! I must also confirm with the garrison at the border to see if there is really foggy weather, is it? A plane actually crashed!"

Then he turned around and ordered Anna, who was beside him: "You call Gascoll and ask him to contact the eyeliner in France. I want to know who Stressman has met and where he finally got on the plane. Someone was on the plane. Got it?"

After the order was given, Akado got into the car and rushed to the headquarters of the Wehrmacht with the long motorcade, and then to the Presidential Palace, where he would preside over the memorial service for President Hindenburg, to this A decent funeral for an old man that can be described as well-established. As the car shook, Arcador thought of many things. He thought that if he succeeded all the way, he might become the emperor of the whole of Europe; he thought that if one day he failed, he might be in a dark basement like Hitler. Give yourself a shot; he even wonders a bit who will officiate at his funeral.

Just after he changed his clothes and rushed to the headquarters of the National Defense Forces to arrange all the tasks of the National Defense Forces, he rushed to the Presidential Palace non-stop. There he finally confirmed the death of his old partner, friend and comrade-in-arms Stressman.

People from the previous era left one after another, and Akado felt more and more that his time alone was coming.
