Chapter 6 Resign! Up! (4)
(Tonight at 7:00 tonight, the SWL playoffs peak showdown, and it may not be possible to write the second update, see if you have any free time in the afternoon.)
"Ha, Ludendorff is very calculating!"
The one-armed general Weigener obviously saw through the tricks of the military chief. He leaned against the door of the ward and snorted coldly, turning his eyes to Heidi Sileme, who had always had a gap with the emperor.
The Schleswig rebellion launched by Albert was indeed huge, but it was definitely not difficult to extinguish. The war on the Western Front of the Empire was extremely fierce, but the war on the Eastern Front had already slowed down. Even if the Russians who were on the brink of civil war were determined to restrain the empire, and even if the spies from the Allied Powers took the opportunity to make trouble and make trouble, the Empire could still draw at least one army from the Eastern Front to rush towards Schleswig.
However, in the telegram from the Supreme Command, the military commander Ludendolf, who actually controlled the army, only assigned the local army's garrison and reserve forces, and the Fourth Cavalry Division on the Eastern Front, to the Kir's Anti-Rebellion Command.
Everyone knows that the empire's local defense was extremely empty and could not draw too many troops to support Shileswig. The Fourth Cavalry Division on the Eastern Front was severely injured as early as the Battle of East Prussia in 1914, and now there is only one Second Cavalry Regiment left with less than 3,000 people. As for the reserve troops re-sumed by the empire in order to deal with the increasingly tragic Battle of the Western Front, they lacked training and combat effectiveness.
It can be said that in addition to its famous chief and deputy commander, the rebuilt Kir Rebellion Command has far more symbolic significance than practical significance.
Rudendolf would not allow the Workers' Party to destroy the European war where he bets. Since Rudendolf treated the Schleswig rebels in ambiguous manner, he even whispered to please the sea. "Chapter" army, then there may be only one: Rudendolf is no longer willing to rebel behind the scenes and entrusted the military and economics of the empire. He tried to force Emperor William to abdicate with Albert's rebellion and replace him!
Charlottemberg Palace was completely in chaos!
June. The rebellion happened again. This time the rebels came in full force and pointed the finger at the great Hohenzollern family!
The emperor's study was so exquisite that the door was closed, the gorgeous curtain was pulled up, the spacious study was pitch black, and only a small lamp next to the desk tried to release the light, shining the corner of the study extremely pale.
The Emperor William, who was indulged in the dreams woven by Rudendolf and the Supreme Command, could no longer carelessly. The emperor hid in the darkness buried his body in the soft sofa with a little uneasy, hugging his head with his hands, cursing Albert and the rebels' ingratitude while complaining about the incompetence of famous Waixileme. He failed to hang Albert, the ambitious man in the last rebellion.
The emperor seemed to have forgotten that in 1915, in order to deal with the navy, he did not hesitate to secretly imprison the right-wing leader of the social minzhu party, which was highly consistent with the imperial war, and forced him to take action against Heidi Silem. The emperor seemed to have forgotten that in the just-concluded Kiel Rebellion, the emperor hoped that the rebels led by Albert could help him get rid of Silem, a disgusting guy, and even handed the golden pistol that never left his body to the guard commander Jodman with murderous intent.
"Guards. Let the guards come over!" the emperor shouted in the darkness.
"Your Majesty. General Jodman has been killed..." The loyal guard of William has been nowhere to be seen. The new guard of the palace wearing ancient breastplate walked in, bowed his head and explained carefully.
"The emperor then remembered that his guard, Jodman, had died in Keel. The emperor leaned his drowsy head against the sofa cushion, endured the unreleased emotions and endless loneliness in his heart, and asked faintly:
"What are the actions of Marshal Hindenburg and General Rudendolf in response to the rebellion of Schleswig?"
"The Supreme Command has rebuilt the Kir Anti-Rebellion Command, with the military chief Rudendolf and the naval leader Silame as the chief and deputy commander respectively."
Ludendolf has always been a wise and capable person. To be fair, the naval god of war, Silem, is also a pillar of the country. The powerful alliance between the navy and the army slightly calmed down the emperor's panic heart, but after the chief guard spoke out Ludendolf's pessimistic prediction, the emperor was finally shocked.
"General Rudendolf said the situation was not optimistic. The Schleswig rebels were strong, and there were also signs of rebellion in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and Bremen. Our troops were all on the front line and were firmly held back by the Allies. Relying solely on the local army garrison, reserve forces and a small number of reinforcements on the Eastern Front could not extinguish the rebellion sparks that spread across the country!"
"Then..." The emperor looked up at the bust of William I on the wall, whose face was barely illuminated by a small lamp, and gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's negotiate and transfer the army back!"
Frontline officers were used to hiding facts from the emperor. The emperor could not judge whether Rudendolf's tragic theory of "unable to put out the sparks of rebellion" was true. However, it was true that there were signs of rebellion in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and Bremen.
At the beginning of its establishment, Germany's ** decided to use Kiel, Berlin and Munich as the main bases "The Great Power Sea Soul Chapter 6: Abdicate! Go to the throne! (IV)" to launch a revolution in the second half of 1917 to overthrow all unreasonable systems.
The German and Communist Party formulated a rigorous plan for this uprising. The two major factions within the party and the Spartan League divided their work and cooperated: the "moderate" attitude led by Albert took root in the army and strengthened the military strength of the workers. The viewpoint was more radical. The Spartan League took the lower-level route, focused on uniting and arming workers, and worked hard to cultivate workers' pickets.
The leak of the list at Kiel Naval Base in May triggered an uprising in advance, and the radical Spartan League bet on all their weights and threw the workers' pickets into Kiel's war in one fell swoop.
The nine thousand workers trained by the Spartan League should have scattered into all corners of the empire like seeds, scattering and scattering until the moment the revolution broke out in the second half of the year, but the gunshots from the Kiel Naval Base disrupted the Spartan League's overall plan.
The Spartan League's gamble failed. The price was heavy. The prestigious leader Blunt was killed in battle, and the nine thousand workers' pickets were wiped out. It can be said that the most powerful and combat-effective part of the Spartan League has disappeared. The current Spartan League is not only seriously injured, but also has no leader.
When the confused and helpless Spartan League suddenly heard the news that the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Germany, Albert, made a comeback in Schleswig after escaping from Kiel, lurking in various parts of Germany, the remnants of the Spartan League first blindly believed in their allies, and at the same time, they mistakenly judged the situation. They frequently launched small-scale chaos in various parts of Germany to restrain the reactionary forces and support Schleswig's revolution!
The Supreme Headquarters of Berlin, bad news kept coming, and the military chief who was more urgent than any "Sea Soul of the Great Power" person, who was in need of the continued European war, was still sitting in his office, safe and sound.
In Berlin, the night was deep, and the commander-in-chief Hindenburg, who was jokingly claimed by the young man in the Supreme Command, could not sleep enough, finally woke up. The old guy took care of his marshal's uniform and came to Rudendolf's office with a tense face.
"Admiral, stop playing with fire!" The good-looking Marshal Hindenburg rarely showed his subordinates the wise, and warned: "No one can escape when the ship sinks!"
The military chief Ludendolf seemed not to hear the marshal's suspicion. He walked around the desk full of documents, reached out to ask General William Grenell for several documents, and handed them to Marshal Hindenburg.
"This is……"
Hindenburg, in his rage, impatiently swept through several documents with similar contents in his hand, and was frightened by the terrible words such as "negotiation", "prerequisite and bottom line", "abdication" and so on.
The premise and bottom line of the armistice negotiations is the abdication of the German Emperor! Hindenburg pieced together a terrible fact from the difficult diplomatic rhetoric on the documents, and then found other clues from the vague words.
"No, there is no negotiation at all, otherwise, as the Chief of Staff of the Army, I will definitely know! This is fake, you are actually hiding here to forge diplomatic documents!"
Hindenburg felt that he was out of wrath. What exactly did Rudendolf want to do, surrender to the humble workers of Schleswig, abandon the great Hohenzollern family, and force the poor Emperor William to abdicate?! What is this, this damn ambitious man, didn't he know that the Teutonic Knights never betrayed his promises, and did not know that "Ke and the officers never betray its tradition?!
"Marson, His Majesty William is no longer suitable to continue leading this country." Ludendolf was not scared by Hindenburg's fangs and claws. At this time, Ludendolf stood at a height above ten thousand people, and was not as conservative as he could not bear the coldness of the heights, but was full of energy.
The Emperor** needs the director to fix his discipline and said reservedly: "Whether it is the British monarchy of the Void King or the decentralized presidential system, Germany has reached a critical point where it has to change. It can be seen from the repeated riots of Albert and the turbulent chaos in various parts of the empire. Marshal, as the leader of Junker and the military regiment, you have no choice but to lead this change!"
"What does it mean?" Hindenburg felt that he could not keep up with Rudendolf's ideas.
"How about the Prime Minister under the Void King's System, the President under the President?" Ludendorf nodded in circles with the old guy and said slightly.
"Ha, Ludendorff is very calculating!"
The one-armed general Weigener obviously saw through the tricks of the military chief. He leaned against the door of the ward and snorted coldly, turned his eyes to Heidi Silem, who had always had a gap with the emperor, and asked:
"Silem, what do you think?"
"Although I can't outline Albert's ideal country, I can roughly guess Albert's roundabout strategy from Rudendolf's arrogance."
Wang Heidi spoke softly, and his grievances and grudges between the paranoid emperor and him for more than 20 years and the final request of the chief guard Jodman: "If the Hohenzollern family is in big trouble, please do not put any harm in the wrong."
"It is certainly a good idea to place bets on both sides, but sometimes... insisting on being a pure soldier is the most wonderful and appropriate choice! Wegener, it's time to prepare for the next naval battle!" (To be continued.)
