51 Hs But let us return to Mr. Kratoehvil; It is certain that the letter General Gajdas to Krakovecký did not come into the hands of those who then presented the whole matter to the Supreme Army Commander for decision just before the Sokol Congress. After all, it had to take some time before the "both constructors" of the "objections" had found themselves, and before they came to the view that they should have found themselves earlier, bearing in mind the importance of the material they had to communicate to each other. - It is therefore - without appreciating the particulars described in the previous chapters - e r w i e - s e n that not only the Major Kratochvil, but also certain initiates who had long been interested in General Gajda, all "objections" were known much earlier before they were asserted. But it was about one thing: waiting and grasping the appropriate moment, where the affair was supposed to produce the desired fruits "easy and fast".The Sokol Congress - the Farlamentenferien - the cucumber time and the so-called melting off of fascism - all this was considered a favourable opportunity to emerge. As soon as this decision had been made, the events followed rasuh: Dr. Bouček, a lawyer and intimate friend Dr. Be- neš s, who interrogated the constructors Kratochvil and Vanëk in his villa in Dobříš with an unusual willingness because of lack of notice in his lawyer's office, ended his task relatively quickly. And the protocol he produced naturally contained all the accusations that had already been made in the previous: that Gajda - according to his Diener's statements - had ordered his services to the Bolsheviks; that he wanted to become an army inspector of the Bolshevik army; that for the secret instructions from the French war school Kč.5.oo.-- he had received. And General Gajda therefore went over admonishment of his been servant on forced leave. - Certainly he was the one general chief of staff who "helped" his dismissed servant to retire. - At first it did not seem as if one was in a particularly hurry with the completion of the case General Gijdas. But when the domestic order had grown up from the drop to the avalanche of a European Skendale, there was no more drift; it was called, the case hastily settled. Ovoes ./.
