Chapter 6 Abdicate! Up! (5)

"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!"

As soon as Weigener finished speaking, many memories surged like a river and lake that broke the dam. Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Heidi's mind, either light or manic, making Wang Heidi unable to make up her mind.

The grudges and entanglements between Wang Heidi and Emperor William cannot be said all day and night. From the Far East to East Africa, from the Reserve Fleet to Istanbul, the famous young man was exiled overseas by the Admiralty because of the emperor's deliberate suppression and had to endure a ten-year life of displaced life. After returning to the Ocean Fleet in 1914, the paranoid emperor launched three naval political storms in succession, and even used impolite means to force Wang Heidi to leave Germany sadly and go to the Mediterranean.

In this context, Wang Heidi and the emperor had long been in a state of dying. If it were not for the constraints of this war, I was afraid that Wang Heidi would have long since broken up with the emperor and turned upside down.

Wang Heidi originally thought that his head-on conflict with the emperor would break out at the moment when the European war ended, but Wang Heidi, who lacked the secret of politics, did not expect that the emperor would use assassination methods to lie on the hands of others. Wang Heidi believed that if the emperor had not entrusted the guard leader Jodman, he would have buried Kiel long ago and died with Blunt and Dick.

After a few breaths, Wang Heidi gave the answer softly. Since the emperor had broken up, Wang Heidi didn't mind letting go and slapped her enemy heavily.

Yes, Wang Heidi promised that the Chief of the Guard would not put down the insult when the emperor was at its worst. But at this moment, outside Berlin, there were Shileswig rebels who shouted "destroy everything", and inside, there were Rudendolf who kept forcing the palace. Wang Heidi, whose every move represented the will of the navy, was actually supporting the emperor's abdication.

” Chapter” “Wegener, it’s time to prepare for the next naval battle!”

Wang Heidi did not have any mercy. Instead, he turned his sight to the lively Orkney Islands in the northeast.

"Silem, this is an opportunity!" As a strategist as famous as Wang Heidi, the one-armed general Weigener would not not understand the actual significance of the Navy's God of War. What Weigener did not understand is why Wang Heidi did not get along well in the tug-of-war between the emperor and Rudendolph and seek external conditions that were beneficial to the navy.

The German navy is gentlemanly and deep and restrained. It is not used to slapping the table and asking for more resources like his British colleagues on the other side of the North Sea, even if their pocket army has been "flooded". With years of friendship, Weigener felt that their naval god of war seemed to be no longer among the deep and restrained gentlemen. Therefore, Weigener could not understand why Wang Heidi gave up this opportunity.

Wegener, who leaned against the door of the ward, released his chest and said loudly: "In order to drive away the emperor, the navy and army do have common interests, but it is obvious that the benefits the army gained from it are far greater than that of the navy. We have no reason to help the army for nothing. The navy must also fight for its own interests!"

Wang Heidi smiled, and he stretched out three fingers to the righteous Wolfgang Wegener. He said regretfully: "Because this is a fight between the three parties. Wegener, you missed a chess player!"

In June, North Germany repeated the fiery fire and lingering light rain, and almost every day and night were ice and fire. It was also in June that the Shileswig rebels heading south defeated the Hanover Grenadiers and the Mecklenburg Reserve Division and approached Kiel, the capital of Schleswig Helstein State.

The Kir's Rebellion Command, which was originally highly expected, was originally a complete joke, but the facts proved that the strong alliance between the navy and the army was just a complete joke.

The ocean fleet can traverse the oceans. However, the land war is unsuccessful. After the rebels moved south, in addition to the naval god of war, Wang Heidi, who stayed in Kiel, and Tirpitz, the leader of the party, was also working hard for the rebellion of Schleswig. The navy simply said nothing about the dazzling German political situation. In the end, Wang Heidi only assembled the Marines who suffered heavy losses in the Kill War, and collected more than 2,700 land naval soldiers in the Baltic Fleet and the Baltic Sea Blockade Fleet.

The army seemed to be very attentive to the rebellion in North Germany. However, the frequent outbreaks of sāo in various parts of Germany restrained Ludendorf's strength, and the Kir's rebellion headquarters had to disperse its already limited forces and put them into the vast ocean created by the rebels until it was spread out and could not even raise a little wave.

The Kil's headquarters in the Rebellion did nothing. Albert divided his troops and swept the Helstein area like a bamboo shoot. The other side approached the capital Kiel, and almost occupied the entire Schleswig Helstein state. It was not until this time that the fat nobles and industrial trusts were panicked and felt that something was wrong.

The scale of the Schleswig riot and its spread shocked the German public opinion circle. On all fronts of the European War, the Imperial Army clearly occupied the territory of the enemy country with a hundred battles, while the enemy did not occupy even an inch of the land of the Empire. Therefore, the nobles and trustees took it for granted that Germany was indestructible, until the entire Shihe Prefecture was almost lost, and they found that the empire's local defense was so weak.

The imperial army was restrained by Britain, France and Russia on the Western and Eastern fronts respectively, and the Ocean Fleet was unable to move. Although the oceanic fleet was powerful, it could not drive the dreadnoughts to land. Relying solely on the local garrison and reserve forces was not only unable to suppress the "Sea Soul of the Great Powers Chapter 6: Abdicate! Go to the throne! (Five)" rebellion, and even unable to stop the spread of the rebellion.

Just as the German nobles and industrial trusts were in panic, Rudendolf proposed the so-called solution:

On a windy afternoon in June, Prussian Interior Minister Druze came to Charlottemberg Palace and made a request for abdication to Emperor William. Although the emperor caught off guard, he still angrily rejected Druze's request.

The time when the Interior Minister Druze forced the palace to spread throughout Germany soon, the nobles and industrial trusts, who were frightened by the Schleswig rebellion, could easily smell the ghosts and ghosts.

The Prussian Minister of Interior was the direct descendant of the Imperial Prime Minister Micha Ellis, who was also the soundtrack of the Imperial Director Ludendolf. Contact the Army, although brave but extremely clumsy in the Schleswig rebellion, the entire empire's senior officials knew about Rudendolf's thoughts.

The Kiel Rebellion and the Schleswig Rebellion were not isolated incidents. Perhaps it was time to change some traditions, and many people began to think seriously.

It was raining all night. In the early morning, the sky in the east refused to let go, and Berlin had to wake up in a daze.

The courtyard of Charlottemberg Palace suddenly had a slight bleakness and decay in midsummer. The lush summer trees wilted their branches and leaves, withering many brilliant summer flowers. The newly-received guard held a black umbrella and paused in the familiar garden. With the unforgettable sadness in his heart, Goethe's poem:

"It hurts, it hurts! The beautiful world, you are destroyed!"

The shouts of parade workers were faintly heard outside the palace. The guards could not hear the slogans through the towering palace walls, but they thought of the parade workers' stubbornness that could not be dispelled even if they were pouring rain on the "Soul of the Great Power" overnight. I think there would be no beautiful words.

Thinking of this, the chief guard couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The newly-respected chief guard was also an old man from the Charlottemberg Palace. He clearly remembered that on August 4, 1914, Berlin was also raining heavily, and there were crowds of people in front of the Charlottemberg Palace. Berlin citizens and workers sang military songs and national anthem. Their emperor William wore a helmet and hat handed down from his ancestors. He held the hilt of the sword with one hand and shouted to his people, "We draw our swords and unsheathed our hands, and we have a clear conscience."

At that time, the emperor was so elegant and the empire was so harmonious, but in less than three years, everything changed. The Kiel rebellion was just suppressed, but as a result, a larger rebellion broke out in Schleswig, and citizen marchs and workers' chaos also spread everywhere in the empire. In June, Germany was often suppressed by Munich, and colorful leaflets were flying in a certain street in Berlin. Finally, it gathered into a voice:

"The German Emperor abdicated!"

"Abdicate?" The chief guard couldn't help but look up at the gray sky of Berlin, sighed heavily, and continued on the winding and rainy path.

The chief guard came to the door of the emperor's bedroom and gently knocked on the door. The emperor in pajamas seemed to be sleepless all night and looked extremely haggard.

"How is the situation?" The emperor turned around and looked at the sleeping imperial concubine, wrapped her pajamas tightly to resist the cold air that seeped in in the morning. He walked out of the bedroom and took it to the door. After all, the emperor finished all this, he approached the chief guard and asked anxiously.

"Mr. Querman, the Foreign Minister, tried to convey a message of peace through US President Wilson, but both Britain and France refused." The Chief Guard paused, hesitating whether to inform the extremely tired emperor of bad news.

""Where is President Wilson?" It is a good idea for Britain and France to refuse negotiations. British and French politicians who slandered their vitality in the war probably had already raised their knives and forks to cut the fat piece of Germany to compensate for their losses.

The emperor has removed the position of Prime Minister Michaelis, who completely defected to Rudendolf, and handed over the power to Friedrich von Hedering, hoping to use this politician with high prestige in Bavaria to turn the tide. Unfortunately, Hedering is unable to make the situation come true.

By now, Wilson has become William’s only hope that the whole world knows that the US president is a pacifist!

"Wilson hopes that our Germany can get rid of the ** monarch, which is the basis of negotiation..." The chief guard glanced at the dead emperor William, gritted his teeth and said the more cruel news: "And Prince Max also released the news that in order to prevent the civil war and maintain the unity of the empire and the monarchy, the emperor needs to abdicate."

Prince Max von Baden is one of the few members of the Hohenzollern family and is closely related to many leaders of the social party. Prince Max chose to release extremely unfavorable news to Emperor William at this time, and his intention is naturally self-evident.

Emperor William suddenly aged ten years. He raised his head slightly to look up at the hazy sky, holding the sword without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, although the army, zhèng fu and Congress have betrayed you, we can still seek the support of the navy! This is the last chance!" The Chief Guard risked the offense of the Emperor's Negrosin and made careful suggestions.

The emperor moved his eyes slightly, and just when the chief guard thought the emperor was already moved, the emperor gave in:

"Since everyone is not satisfied with me, then I'll abdicate!" (To be continued.)
