Field Marshal Hindenburg

　　Leon left the war department, so he let Guderian and the others leave with the soldiers first, while he went to the residence of Marshal Hindenburg.

　　Although Lieutenant General Strauss had promised him to hand over all the power in his hands, it was Lieutenant General Strauss's ouster that would cause many problems that had been forcibly suppressed by Lieutenant General Strauss's prestige to erupt.

　　After all, except for some young officers in the Wehrmacht, most of the senior officers are old nobles, and they will not submit to Lyon so easily.

　　The purpose of Lyon's visit to Marshal Hindenburg now was not only to discuss how to get Reichstag to pass the secret Soviet-German agreement that Lieutenant General Strauss had just signed, but also to use Marshal Hindenburg's influence in the army to give himself sufficient time to purge those who did not want to follow him.

　　Leon has been here many times, and the guard at the door saw that it was Leon and let Leon directly enter this villa.

　　Field Marshal Hindenburg nervously walked around the study, waiting for news from Lyon.

　　The door was pushed open, and Field Marshal Hindenburg hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Leon, he smiled: "Colonel Leon, did you get that bastard of Strauss?" "

　　When Leon heard Marshal Hindenburg call Lieutenant General Strauss "bastard", he couldn't help frowning and said lightly: "Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant General Strauss has signed the agreement and promised to transfer all the power in his hands to me. "

　　Field Marshal Hindenburg excitedly whispered, since he was preparing to run for president, the Wehrmacht has gradually fallen out of his control, this Strauss is even more brazen in expanding his power, and he has said more than once that he does not trust the Social Democratic Party that supports Field Marshal Hindenburg, and sooner or later Strauss will use the Wehrmacht that has always belonged to him against me, and now that this problem is solved, I will become the president of Germany! Marshal Hindenburg thought happily.

　　Leon looked at Marshal Hindenburg's face full of excitement, and never mentioned how to persuade the Reichstag to pass the Soviet-German agreement, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "Marshal, you haven't said how we should get Reichstag to pass the agreement." "

　　Hearing this, Field Marshal Hindenburg sorted out his emotions and asked Leon seriously: "You will support me to become president, right?" "

　　Lyon stood up and saluted: "Of course, Marshal, no, Mr. President, the Wehrmacht will firmly support you as the next President of the Weimar Republic." "

　　The sound of Lyon's president made Hindenburg feel comfortable, but it also made him no longer impatient to become a real president, and ordered Lyon: "Colonel Lyon, no, from now on you are a general, Major General Lyon, from now on you are the new chief of operations of the Wehrmacht, and the equipment department will be promoted to the equipment department, and the minister is still you." "

　　Leon frowned, it stands to reason that although Leon will become the new leader of the Wehrmacht, the position of the head of operations should be taken back by Field Marshal Hindenburg and taken by himself, but now he has appointed me as the chief of operations, does this make sense.

　　Hindenburg quickly solved Lyon's doubts: "The first thing you did when you took office was to set up a special action group and force Albert to give up the presidency to me!" "

　　Leon was taken aback suddenly, the charge of forcing the president to step down is not comfortable, and if exposed to the public eye, he may be doomed. So Leon hurriedly persuaded: "Marshal, this is dangerous!" If it is exposed, we will all be finished! "

　　Hindenburg heard this and threatened Leon: "No, this method must be carried out!" I can't wait. And your agreement can only be passed by Congress if I become president! Otherwise it would never have been implemented! "

　　Leon's heart is burning with anger, this is obviously to use himself as a scapegoat, if it is Hindenburg who benefits if he succeeds, it is himself who is judged if he fails!

　　But Lyon had no way, only Hindenburg became president of his own plan to carry it out, Lyon could only nod his head in resignation, turn around and leave the villa.

　　Sophia on the other side did not dare to face her father, because she betrayed him and relayed orders for Leon, so after she informed Guderian and the others, she did not go to the war department with them, but hid in Leon's house and waited for Leon to come back to give herself an explanation.

　　It was already completely dark, and Sophia glanced in disappointment at the street that had long been free of pedestrians. Leon probably won't be back today, Sophia thought to herself.

　　"Squeak~" Sophia just wanted to stand up and leave, when she heard the door being pushed open, and a tired-faced Leon walked in.

　　"Sophia? Why are you here? Leon looked at Sophia in surprise and asked.

　　"You promised to give me an explanation, why did you kill that officer?" Sophia's eyes revealed a look of grievance, Sophia did not believe that Leon would shoot others for no reason, although she and Leon had not been in contact for a long time, but I don't know when she had fully trusted Leon, even betraying her father.

　　Leon was silent for a while and said, "Sophia, if I hadn't killed him at that time, we wouldn't have been able to get out of that door." "

　　Sophia looked at Leon in shock and asked incredulously, "How is it possible?" Why is this so? "

　　Leon sneered and said: "Hmph, those Soviets have already revealed what they mean - as long as the price is right, they will cooperate with us!" If we had revealed thoughts of repentance at that time, they would have killed us without hesitation. After a pause, Leon continued: "Because if they let us go, and we reveal that they are willing to help us break the Treaty of Versailles, it will undoubtedly make the Soviet Union, which was already excluded by all countries, even worse." "

　　Sophia said angrily: "We won't say it, it's not good for us!"

　　Leon shook his head: "No, nothing is absolute. There is only one type of person in the world who does not reveal secrets, and that is the dead. And compared to their country, our delegation, whose highest rank is no more than colonel, is clearly worth sacrificing. Leon paused for a moment and continued, "So in order to express our determination, I can only kill the officer who openly opposed this plan." The value of his death was that it strengthened the resolve of the Soviet side and ensured the safety of others. "

　　After listening to the explanation, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, but seemed to have thought of something again, and asked nervously: "By the way, why did Guderian and they come to see you with so many soldiers?" "

　　Leon couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the silly cuteness of the girl in front of him, I'm afraid he didn't know that there had been a great change in the Wehrmacht, her father had given all the power in his hands to himself, and all this was because she stupidly reported to herself.

　　After carefully considering the language, Leon smiled and said, "Because your father intends to kill me, and Guderian is protecting me." "

　　Sophia's face turned white and said, "How do you know that General Strauss is my father?" "

　　"I didn't know, but I talked with your father for a long time today, and he told me everything." Leon said.

　　"Then you also know that I was sent to spy on you?" Sophia looked entangled, she didn't know that she cared a lot about her image in Leon's heart.

　　"Eh, I already knew you were undercover." Leon scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Don't be angry when I say this, in fact, you are not suitable to be an undercover agent." "

　　Sophia's face turned red, but she was obviously not angry: "Okay, okay, I know I can't act." I studied a foreign language in college, so what can I do if I can't spy on others? I'm desperate too, who told my dad that he only believes his daughter in this regard? "

　　Leon smiled awkwardly and ended the topic: "Ahem, it's so late, how do you go back?" Why don't you stay with my house? "

　　"Don't think about it! I called the driver to pick me up. Sophia glanced at Leon viciously, and then was a little embarrassed: "Can you accompany me to the street to wait for the driver?" I'm a little afraid of the dark..."

　　Leon smiled secretly and nodded. There was no one on the dark street except for Leon, who were thinking about their own hearts and did not say a word.

　　I don't know how long later, a black car stopped in front of the two and woke up the two who were pondering, and the driver opened the door and stood aside waiting for his young lady to get in the car.

　　Sophia came to her senses and was about to get into the car, when she suddenly gritted her teeth and turned back to Leon: "Hey, Mr. Colonel, do you hate me?" I spied on you for so long. "

　　Leon thought for a while and said with a smile: "How come?" You are so cute. Also, I'm a major general now! "

　　Hearing this, Sophia happily got into the car and told the driver to leave quickly.

　　While driving, the driver looked back at his miss from time to time in surprise, he had never seen Sophia so shy, and the Sophia he remembered rarely smiled due to family reasons, let alone such a delicate face. The driver couldn't help but wonder: Who was that young man just now, who could provoke the young lady to be so rosy? Suddenly the driver's pupils shrank, remembering what the young man said just now, he is not a colonel, but a major general! A major general in his 20s at most.
