The four French officials died bizarrely in Germany, and there were rumors that it was a bizarre traffic accident that caused a collision of three cars, making everyone sweat for Germany.

At the beginning of 1922, cars were not as popular as they are now, and there was no endless traffic flow in the streets, especially at 8 o'clock in the evening, there were fewer cars on the street, and in this way In the context of a three-vehicle continuous high-speed collision, many people became suspicious, especially when the four French officials were rushing to inspect a German military barracks, making the case even more suspicious.

However, the German side did not cooperate with France in investigating the case, and the investigation was completed as a traffic accident. The German side spit hard water in front of the Allied Arms Control Committee on behalf of Seeker, thinking that the French official ’s outing at night was very suspicious. This statement at least won the sympathy of some coalition committee officials.

This incident made the relationship between the Wehrmacht and the French side cold. The two sides accused each other of their opponents at an international conference, and another sudden crisis made France unable to tolerate the hostility of the German government.

At the end of 1922, the German mark began to depreciate wildly, and German leader Ebert called the French prime minister and the British prime minister, and took note of the French British ambassador to Germany. The purpose is to request the allied government to temporarily terminate the heavy war compensation required by the Versailles peace treaty.

However, this seemingly helpless but reasonable request was rejected by French Prime Minister Raymond Pengal. The French side is helping one another and frequently mobilizing the border troops to make this prime minister a little difficult to ride a tiger. For a while, the sky was overcast in Europe, and war seemed likely to break out at any time.

At this moment, in Paris, France, in a conference room, French senior officials are holding a temporary meeting for this matter. Most generals at the meeting believed that Germany should be dispatched to completely destroy Germany ’s dominance of the entire European continent, but those who know a little about politics are not optimistic about this plan. The United States, Britain and even the Soviet Union cannot endure a strong French **** of the European continent If it unfolds, France will fall into crisis by several sides.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we must make the Germans pay the price! The blood of the French cannot be in vain!" A general sat in a seat to the French Prime Minister Raymond Pengal.

French Prime Minister Pengalle shook his head helplessly: "My Excellency! We cannot declare war on a country because of an accident that looks like a murder! The national budget has been cut threefold because of the end of the war. What can I do to support a vast war? ? "

"Humph." Another general sneered. "Germany now has only 100,000 people. As long as we dispatch the power of the two army groups, we can completely destroy all of their troops. Then we can hit Berlin and let Eber of Germany." There is also the wicked Seeker kneeling in front of us! "

"The United Kingdom? Have you ever thought that if we try to dominate Germany, the United Kingdom will stand on the side of Germany, and the United States will also follow the downfall, and then the" Peace of Versailles "is the dog chain tied to us!" A group of generals who do not understand politics, French Prime Minister Bengal has some helplessness. He has to translate the problems he faces into words that these generals can understand.

He pointed to the map and poked the border area between France and Germany with his finger. There was a long thin line on the French territory: "The Parliament has just passed the bill to build the Mackinaw line. Most of the military spending will be used. In establishing this super line of defense to ensure that France will never be invaded, the attack plan you envisaged will not be allowed at all. "

"So, sir, what if we make a little modification of this plan?" In the corner, a colonel raised his hand: "We only sent one division and used German war arrears as a reason to occupy What about the Ruhr region, an important industrial base in Germany? "

He stepped forward and said: "We can use this to achieve two goals: First, the Coalition Arms Control Committee recently received news that Germany is secretly expanding its army. Obviously they are not reconciled to the last defeat, we can completely destroy them. The foundation of re-arming! That is the Ruhr industrial zone; second, if Germany resists, then their military strength will be exposed, so that they will immediately alert the British, so that our actions will not be hostile to the British Yes, right? "

"It makes sense to say Colonel Charles de Gaulle. In this way, our plan will be much more secure. We will send less troops and will not cause hostility and resentment from the British government. As long as our diplomatic service persists for a week, Germany will succumb. "A general stood up and said.

Colonel Charles de Gaulle frowned: "General, I don't think we can estimate the situation so optimistically. I expect that this operation will take at least a month to achieve the expected results. We must prepare for the German Wehrmacht's resistance."

"No resistance? Then we will occupy the Ruhr area and use the products there to make up for the cost of our troops and the compensation for the war." The general sneered.

Charles de Gaulle had to say more, but it was interrupted by the Prime Minister, because Prime Minister Pengal could n’t wait to agree to this smaller action plan. After all, it was more comfortable than the plan to decide to send dozens of divisions Too many: "There is no problem at all, Your Excellency, I will persuade Parliament to agree to this action by the military."

"I hope the Germans are as stupid as our generals." At the end of the meeting, Charles de Gaulle lamented his deputy: "Once this plan fails, no one can stop Germany from re-arming its own footsteps."

The plan of action to invade the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany was approved by the Parliament. The French team immediately began to mobilize, and the logistics department began to distribute reserve ammunition and oil for the frontline troops participating in the operation.

"Bell! Bell! Bell!" The German Defense Forces Headquarters Intelligence Section, Major Gaskol picked up the phone, and a few seconds later, his eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and then he emphasized with his thick Prussian Ordered: "There is more information in this regard, and directly report the content to Colonel Akado."

Then he hung up the phone in a hurry, took his hat on his head, walked out of his office, went upstairs, and came to a room with the door closed, with a small wooden sign hanging on it "Special Affairs Office".

Gascoll sorted out his costume, then knocked on the door solemnly. Hearing the inside, he pushed open the door, and then looked at the man sitting in front of him without looking up. He made a click with his heel, and stood up to salute: "Colonel Akado! The intelligence department is important The intelligence reports to you! The French have acted! "

In fact, Akkado said that his rank is only two ranks higher than him, and he is not a direct superior of Gascol. After all, the Intelligence Section is directly responsible for General Sikte. It is reasonable that Gascol should not be treated like this. Akado.

However, Akado created Germany's current intelligence department with one hand, and worked hard to create the now almost pervasive German shadow force, so that the German intelligence department has a famous name Gestapo.

Major Gascourt was cultivated by Akado and secretly promoted, sincerely respecting Akado.

Therefore, Seekert has always been very satisfied with the German Defense Force Intelligence Section Force Gestapo, in fact, has always been an important force controlled by Akado.

"The French have acted?" Akado looked up at his excited men and smiled: "They finally couldn't help it! Our opportunity is here!"

"Mr. Colonel, exactly as you expected, the French are planning to invade the Ruhr area. We have deployed the 4th and 6th divisions near the Ruhr area as early as half a month ago, this time we can easily Eat the French invading troops. "Gascol felt that Arcado's deep vision was unmatched. He even predicted the French's actions at the beginning of the crisis.

"No more! Plan a is shelved. I ordered to execute plan b. I immediately reported this to General Hickett. This time, I was going to use this trap to bury a lot of people." Akado waved and smiled. " Go back! Do n’t come over to find me next time. If General Sikert finds out, you may not be in position! "

After Gascol left, Akado took out the prepared plan and clamped it under his arm to Seekert's office.

"Look at the good things you did, the French really acted! Do you know that once the war breaks out, will we be completely wiped out?" Seeker frowned and looked at the relaxed Akkado, pretending to be angry and blamed. : "Tell me, what are your plans!"

"War will not break out! Because the IDF will not carry out any resistance!" Akado smiled and said: "Resistance is spontaneous, initiated by the people of the Ruhr industrial zone! It is not our defense force."

As soon as he raised his eyebrows, Sickert immediately understood the intention of Akado: "The trick of two birds with one stone! It is Colonel Akado."

"Isn't the general already thinking this way? Otherwise, the 1st Division and the 17th Division with the strongest combat capability will not be put on the spot, and there is no sign of half-point transfer." Akado was very relaxed, basically It can't be seen that he has shot at several enemies in France and Germany at the same time.

"First, the defense force ’s inability to fight back proves that military spending will increase. The German government is in crisis and needs military support. This is what we have earned. Second, the French government and the British government have cracked, and the arms control committee has been hit hard. We It ’s easier to touch fish in muddy water. ”Seeker looked at Akado:“ I feel more and more right to choose you as my lieutenant! ”

"At least, for the National Defence Forces, it is very correct!" Akado watched as he watched his Siket, who was increasingly guarding against him.
