Chapter 8: The Contributions of Cap

Weike's broad chin had the flavor of a Prussian soldier. He furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "I believe we should remain silent; this situation is somewhat peculiar. Although they have occupied Berlin, it is best for us to observe the situation first."

They did not have any long-term plans; they neither intended to establish a government organization controlled by a military nor to support a puppet regime. The entire situation in Berlin was in chaos, and if they could succeed under such circumstances, it would indeed be a bizarre occurrence. Akado analyzed the entire event and succinctly pointed out that the operation was fraught with flaws.

A shot rang out, hitting the sandbag, and the officers and soldiers inside immediately threw out their weapons: "Oh God! Don't shoot! We surrender!" The defending troops inside clearly lacked the courage to fight; their thoughts were simple: to hell with loyalty, dying at the hands of their own people would be the greatest injustice. Anyone who does not surrender is a fool raised by a son.

He was promoted two ranks out of turn, directly becoming an Army Captain. If General Walter von Lüttwitz were to learn that this young man, who was promoted out of turn, was actually one of his earliest opponents, he would probably be infuriated to death

"Second Lieutenant! Those are also our German soldiers! Even if we choose not to help, that would be one thing, but if we stab them in the back, we will be looked down upon by other units!" The commander of the Third Battalion, Bruder, turned to Akado and said

Is there any other way? At this point... Hulk thought for a moment and nodded to express his agreement, but he was interrupted halfway through his words

However, Akado is one of the few beneficiaries of this chaotic coup. His commendation report was approved on https://www.hetushu.com, and on the third day of the coup, Akado received his promotion order

"Then, why is it opposition instead of support? Can you elaborate on that?" Hulk asked with some curiosity

Upon taking office, the new Chief of Staff did not waste much time and arrived at his office on the same day. He skillfully stacked a thick pile of documents in the upper right corner of his desk, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the edge of the table, glanced at his young assistant, and issued his first command as the Commander-in-Chief of the German Army: "Order the promotion of Captain Akado Rudolf of the Gas Prevention Team of the New National Defense Army 103 stationed in Hamburg to the rank of Major, to report immediately to the Army High Command in Berlin"

He stood up, walked over to Akado, and patted him on the shoulder: "However, from a soldier's perspective, your handling of the situation was rather harsh. I still hope that in the future, you can temper your aggression a bit more."

"This counts as a lack of follow-up preparation, but why do you say that they have not handled the matters they should have dealt with by now?" asked Battalion Commander Hans, unable to contain his impatience.

Yes, before departing, Colonel Krüzer of the 105th Regiment submitted his commendation report for Akado to the Berlin government chaired by Ebert. However, due to the distance between the two locations, the report was still en route to the German Army Headquarters in Berlin by the time Ebert had taken refuge in the suburbs of Berlin

However, someone still received this report, and that was General Walter von Lüttwitz. He had already been overwhelmed by the turmoil caused by the newly formed army that had defected, but he still decided to approve the various reports accumulated over the past few days in order to curry favor with the powerful military leaders across the nation and their subordinates

"Have you all seen this notice? They have no follow-up preparations at all, and they haven't even handled the matters that should have been taken care of. I don't want to accompany such people to their demise. I wonder if anyone here has a penchant for seeking death?" Akado replied with a smile, shrugging in response to Hulk's question

Of course, at the end of the line was Second Lieutenant Akasha, who was temporarily assigned to the 103rd Regiment. He had just heard the news from Berlin that the old army had ultimately parted ways with the German government. The military now found itself in a very delicate position—General Walter von Lüttwitz led a portion of the garrison in Berlin to seize the city and sent a telegram to all German troops, calling for their support.

The sirens soon sounded, and the clattering sound of boots striking the ground echoed from all directions. The coup had been planned for a long time and erupted in March 1920

Which unit are you from? Report your number! This is the Fifth District; if you take another step forward, we will open fire!" shouted the officer hiding behind the sandbags.

President Ebert has resumed power, restoring order in Germany, and the strikes naturally came to an end following the victory

Although there has been continuous condemnation nationwide, this temporarily established central government has surprisingly begun to function. On the third day, the Hamburg authorities received a rather amusing notification regarding the promotion of a second lieutenant.

Having spoken, he walked over to Deputy Commander Blertz and said: "Go find the staff of the library regiment, convey my orders, and send a telegram stating that our 103rd Regiment does not support General Walter von Lüttwitz; we stand unwaveringly with the German people."

He was once appointed as the Minister of Defense for the Ottoman Empire, and was one of the German representatives during the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. He was extremely patient and possessed diplomatic skills. He was also well-read, with a wealth of experience, fluent in English, French, and German, and had a mastery of music and art akin to that of military tactics—he was the legendary model student, an academic achiever, or rather, the enviable favorite of the gods.

What does it mean? Please elaborate. Among the officers in the room, there are two nobles and four who have attended university, so everyone is quite rational. The deputy commander, Bruetz, was also very interested in this statement and looked at Akado, asking him.

Akado glanced at Hans, raising an eyebrow: "If I were the one planning this operation, then at the very least, I should capture President Ebert and arrange an accident to eliminate him. Even if the whole world knows it was me, without evidence, I would have to accept it. No matter who supports the new president, he will have to thank this operation, and ultimately, the person executing the operation will not face severe punishment, right?"

Akado glanced at Hulk, then took a step forward and said loudly: "Looking down on me? What kind of reason is that?"

Immediately put down your weapons! This area is under military control! The person across did not hesitate either, brandishing a pistol; behind him, a group of fierce and menacing former German army soldiers armed with rifles surged forward in a frenzy

General Walter von Lüttwitz occupied the position of Chief of Staff for only 5 days, during which he was succeeded by a typical Prussian officer named Siekt, characterized by his tall, slender figure and monocle perched on his cheekbone. Major General Siekt was no insignificant figure; he had already made a name for himself during World War I. As an officer in the General Staff, he organized the German forces' breakthrough of the Russian defenses at Gorlice on the Eastern Front in 1915, achieving remarkable military success. For this, he was awarded the highest military honor in Germany during World War I, the Prussian Order.

Three months later, at the age of 54, Major General Hans von Sikter was urgently appointed to take over the German Army, becoming the new Commander-in-Chief of the German Army. Due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German Navy was limited to a scale of 15,000 personnel, so it can be said that Major General Sikter was essentially the highest leader of the entire German armed forces

On the following day, General Walter von Lüttwitz, not knowing which peculiar suggestion from his staff to heed, ultimately appointed an obscure civil servant, previously an official in the German Ministry of Agriculture who had already resigned, as the Chancellor of Germany. This individual was named Wolfgang Kapp.

The reason for speaking so heavily about him is to pay tribute to the distant history. General Schicklgruber took the first step towards the resurgence of German military power, yet he is far less renowned than those German generals who ignited World War II

History has finally not betrayed the German people's desire for strength. After a not insignificant joke played by Kapp, a seasoned and vigorous general was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the German Army

Gao! Hulk smiled and gave Akado a thumbs up: "Just as you said, if you were the one planning the operation at m.hetushucomcom, then we wouldn't be so indecisive. All we need to do is follow behind you and wait for the news of victory."

Under the pitch-black night, in the capital of Germany, Berlin, a crisp gunshot echoed through the night sky, disturbing this moment of tranquility

Without further ado, let us return to the main topic

God! After a sigh of despair, Colonel Hulk of the 103rd Infantry Regiment helplessly threw the telegram onto his desk, looking helplessly at his subordinates. In his office stood Deputy Colonel Blitz, three battalion commanders: Battalion Commander Vico, Battalion Commander Hans, and Battalion Commander Bruder, along with Company Commander Hank of the guard company.

Apologies! Akado raised his hand and said: "We should immediately send a telegram, informing everyone that we are unwilling to collude with the old army"

You should know that not everyone possesses a brilliant mind—General Walter von Lüttwitz is one such general who lacks brilliance. It is evident that everyone is skeptical of his political gamble, yet he is determined to prove his exceptional "capabilities" to win them over. Well, you can easily imagine how tragic his subsequent days would be.

At the entrance of the Capitol, soldiers lined up in two neat rows stood at attention, holding their long rifles, to welcome their commander: General Walter von Lüttwitz

At the same time as Akado's promotion, a nationwide workers' strike began, as the newly established Kapp government was not recognized by the general populace and lacked widespread trust from the military. Just five days after the Kapp coup, General Walter von Lüttwitz and Wolfgang Kapp were expelled from the presidential palace, becoming prisoners of the newly arrived National Defense Army.
