“No, no.” The young man headed was stuttering, obviously he was shocked by Akado’s momentum.
Akado took a step forward and pointed the Iron Cross on his chest with his left finger. The back of his left hand was covered with condensed scars. It looked thrilling. He saw the three of them back a little step and spoke again. : “The people here are all heroes willing to bleed for this country, but you want to persuade them to accept humiliation for the sake of hypocrisy and peace?”
“Get out!” Hitler screamed with strong aid.
“Get out!” The wounded soldiers in the house were agitated to fight, and they were more willing to accept that they were a hero. This statement is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The young man standing on the chair took another step back, stepped on the empty foot, and fell to the ground, causing a laughter. The three young men fled out of the injured soldiers hall in a big laugh.
“Akado!” Hitler shouted, raising his right hand with a vent.
The wounded soldiers shouted, “Akkado! Akado!”
With a crunch, a steel lunch box was dropped on the floor, and Hitler, who was sitting next to Akado, complained angrily: “These **** Bolsheviks! One day, I will catch them all! All hanged! ! “
“It’s useless to be angry.” Akado said with a smile. “Any trend of thought has its truth. At this time of the war, there are really not many people supporting it.”
“No! I would rather die on the front line! I would rather not accept defeat! British! French! And **** Americans!” Hitler said excitedly, waving his fists.
The war will not be transformed by the indignation of a small person. On the third day, on November 9, 1918, an old priest rushed to Basvalk, a small town in the province of Pomerania, to Hitler and others, who were preparing to return to the front line, made an amazing announcement.
“Gentlemen, I am Pastor Bogel. I regret to tell you that the Hohenzollern City Council no longer hangs the German crown, and Germany has become a republican country.” The old pastor said so hard.
“God, what are you talking about, His Majesty the Emperor, he …” Hitler looked at the old priest dumbfounded, and Akado saw his lips tremble, and his voice even twisted a bit. People will not understand this kind of heart-worshiping worship and obedience, but it is true that this mood exists, and sometimes it is still unforgettable.
Looking around, many people are already kneeling on the ground and crying, some are yelling, everyone is screaming at the empire they allegiance collapsed, obviously very sad and sad, and even a more serious emotion –despair.
Yes, despair, Hitler was already desperate. The war he hoped for had failed, his spiritual sustenance collapsed, and he did n’t know why he still survived and why he breathed.
Akado wanted to scold the old priest in front of him with a generous speech like he did a few days ago, but he found that everything was pale in the face of the upcoming real history, and the German emperor did go down his history. The stage, which belongs to the pinnacle of Germany, has not yet begun.
Looking at the tumultuous crowd around him, Akado whispered softly: “God, if you let me kneel to survive, then please give me a long sword, I would rather hold it and die on the battlefield for freedom. “
“Mr. Akado, you are a real German, a real German.” Hitler heard Akado’s whisper. At this time he had tears in his face, and he was crying in silence, like a loss. The father’s child.
Patting Hitler’s shoulder, Akado stared at the weeping corporal with a firm gaze, and the strength was shocked by the button medals on the two men: “We have to do something, otherwise Germany will be destroyed by the fool!”
“What can we do?” Hitler was a little confused. He had thoughts of politics, but those nobles and veteran politicians were so powerful that he could not defeat such a powerful opponent with a corporal rank and civilian identity.
“We are in politics!” Akado said firmly: “By breaking the traditional wave of people, we can get a lot of supporters! We are different from the old nobles and politicians. We have advanced ideas, and more importantly, we have Stronger faith! “
“What faith?” Hitler looked at Akado doubtfully.
“Germany will conquer the world!” Akado pursed his lips and gently voiced the oath as heavy as Mount Tai.
History will always remember today. On the night of this day, a corporal named Adolf Hitler wrote such a sentence: “Whether to step into politics or continue to be an architect. I used to hesitate, but now I do n’t hesitate anymore, Tonight, I made up my mind to step into politics. “
Another young man, Akado, said a forgotten sentence: “Germany will conquer the world.”
Let’s put the whispers of young people aside first, and in another corner of the world, coalition politicians are digging into a surprise to Germany.
On November 11, Germany surrendered in the forest of Combien.
The following year, on May 7, 1919, the Allies issued a Versailles peace treaty in Berlin without a consultation with Germany. For the people of a country that was addicted to fantasy in the last second, this was a shocking blow.
The “Versailles Contract” stipulates that Germany must return Alsace and Lorraine obtained during the Franco-Prussian War.
The contract stipulates that Germany will divide a large territory in the east and cede it to Poland, so that Poland will get the estuary. And East Prussia became an enclave that no longer has a border with Germany.
The contract stipulates that Germany cedes part of Schleswig to Denmark. Some areas previously controlled by Germany were either occupied by coalition forces or commissioned by the newly formed international alliance.
The contract stipulates that after the Allied Powers withdrew from the Rhine, the area would become a demilitarized zone, and Germany would not be able to station troops and build military fortifications.
Of course, the contract also stipulates that Germany has lost all its overseas colonies, and the German government has to compensate the Allies with huge amounts of war compensation.
However, the most important part of the 75,000-word contract with 440 payments is about disarming Germany.
For whatever reason, the makers of the Versailles contract tried to forever weaken Germany’s terrible military power. They destroyed or dismantled most of Germany’s weapons and weapons production facilities. In particular, Germany was prohibited from possessing the four new weapons that emerged from the First World War: airplanes, tanks, submarines, and poison gas.
The contract also has steps to weaken the German armed forces. According to the terms and conditions, all the existing 14,000 aircraft in Germany must be handed over to the Allied forces or demolished on the spot. The navy will only symbolically retain 15,000 people. Old battleships, light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats produced before the Second World War. In addition, even most of the merchant ships were confiscated as war compensation.
The most severe blow fell on the German Army, these proud soldiers with Prussian military traditions were squeezed hard.
Before the First World War, the German Army had 2 million troops, and the contract would reduce the size of the German Army to only 100,000 in early 1920. Enlistment must be voluntary, and the system of universal compulsory soldiers must be abolished.
The General Staff was born in countless German generals was completely cancelled, the military school was cancelled, the use of tanks, heavy artillery and poison gas was banned, and the contract even laid down detailed regulations on the number of light weapons and ammunition such as machine guns and rifles.
This contract is simply a humiliation. A US congressman pointed out with foresight: “This is not a peace treaty. At least 11 wars have been bred in it.” Therefore, the “Versailles Peace Treaty” was not passed in the US Senate.
On May 7, 1919, the content of the “Versailles Peace Treaty” was published, and the German people were shocked by the harsh content of the Versailles contract. Everyone was filled with indignation and had a feeling of being betrayed.
Everyone hoped that the violent political changes in the later period of the war, that is, the abolition of the dictatorship of the German Emperor William II, and the implementation of the parliamentary democratic system would ease the defeated sanctions. The hope was completely broken.
German citizens rushed to the streets to protest this contract. After all, Germany was defeated in a vague manner when it had the potential for war. To such an extent that people are humiliated as defeaters, no one can tolerate it.
On June 16, the Allied Powers presented an ultimatum to Germany, demanding that Germany must accept the peace treaty by the 24th, otherwise the armistice would lapse, and the Allied Powers would “take the steps they deem necessary to realize their conditions.”
If the peace is refused, can the Germans resist the attack that the Allies will inevitably launch from the West? The President raised this question with the German Supreme Command. Ebert said, “If the Supreme Command believes that military resistance is somewhat successful, I will try to make the Parliament refuse to accept the peace treaty.”
Marshal Hindenburg replied to Ebert: “When the war broke out, we were able to conquer Poznan province and hold the eastern border, but in the west, it is difficult to expect us to resist the powerful offensive of the enemy, Because the Allies have a human advantage, and they have the ability to outflank us on both wings. So, in general, it is quite doubtful whether military operations can succeed, but as a soldier, I cannot help but feel stigmatized Peace is worse than fighting the battlefield gloriously. “
The army stated that armed resistance will not have results, and it will lead to the elimination of the Army ’s precious officers and even the possibility of Germany ’s own demise.
Now that the military leaders have assumed responsibility, the National Assembly finally signed the peace treaty with a majority. This decision informed the representative of the Allied Powers in Berlin that Clemente was only 19 minutes away from the ultimatum deadline of the Allied Powers. Four days later, on June 28, the winning allies signed the Treaty of Versailles, and the German government approved the terms of the treaty without much delay. The conditions are harsh. Germany was forced to bear the responsibility for causing the war and compensate all losses caused by the war. Nineteen minutes before the deadline set by the Allied Powers, the German government finally succumbed, even though German Socialist President Frederick Ebert considered the contract “unachievable and unaffordable.”
The beginning and end of the war never seem to have anything to do with the little people. The First World War began when a crown prince was shot, and was confusedly signed by a group of senior officials.
Yes, the First World War was the same as in history. The compromise of a group of politicians came to an end. The German soldiers were still looking forward to the counterattack in the morning, but they received the order to withdraw.
Hitler collapsed, and the Austrian infantry regiment he was in was disbanded. While he was looking forward to draining the last drop of blood for Germany, the big Germans surrendered shamelessly.
In the cry of Hitler, in the comfort of Akado, the First World War was over, the German war machine was dismembered, and humiliation and anger filled the whole of Germany.
