Chapter 43 Iron and Blood (4)

On the same evening, the Berlin garrison, who had completed preparations and assembled, set off on the train to fight the rebellion south, and under the leadership of General Georg Weitzel, prepared to go to Munich to suppress the riots.

Weitzer is currently the director of the Defense Forces Bureau. Due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the former most famous General Staff of the Army was disbanded. The Bureau of Forces actually exercised some of the functions of the former General Staff. Weitzer's role is closer to the deputy chief of staff who coordinated a front before the war. Sending him out to command operations was considered to be Sikte's highest importance to the Munich riots.

Weitzel himself had full confidence in completing this task, but he never expected that this confidence would cause twists and turns due to minor problems: the train full of Berlin garrisons left Berlin just 3 hours after leaving Berlin, and the locomotive boiler was damaged due to pressure problems and had to be replaced before it could be put on the road.

Finally, the repair was completed until after 8 pm, and it took less than 4 hours. By 12 pm, another incident occurred: the railway tracks and switches on the critical section of the road ahead were damaged and they had to wait for repairs. The maintenance workers were on strike and demonstrations. They had to wait for Berlin to send maintenance teams and materials to continue moving forward, so they could only park in a second-class station.

"When will we finally fix it and set off again?" Weitzel asked impatiently, looking at his watch.

"Maybe tomorrow afternoon..."

"We have to spend 15 hours here?" he screamed.

"Sir, you can walk through the damaged section and then recruit other locomotives to advance, but I don't know if there will be any problems." The stationmaster said lukewarmly, "Or just wait here for 15 hours."

Weitzel was very angry: "Do you know? Your attitude was completely enough to be shot during the last war."

"But that won't happen in the last war."

"Why?"

"The last war was to beat the French and Russians, and of course the workers worked hard. Now you want to beat the Germans, and you still want to beat the Germans who resisted the Treaty of Versailles. Who will work hard for you?"

"You!" Weitzel slapped the table and stood up, "You are a sympathizer of the rioters! Maybe it's a spy who helped them spy on the enemy's situation!"

"Yes, I sympathize with them, what can you do?" The webmaster snorted coldly, untied his scarf, and exposed the blue Max medal on his neckline. "There is no need to look at me so angry. Where were you when I beat the Russians on the Eastern Front? If you have the ability, go and beat the French in Ruhr..."

Weitzel shook his head depressedly. There were less than 1,000 winners of the Blue Max Medal in Germany. It is logical that such meritorious people would not be driven out of the army. But after looking at the webmaster's left hand with only two fingers left, and thinking of such a arrogant attitude, he understood.

"It's already late at night when I rejected this proposal. The troops still have to rest. If there is anything, it's time to think about it tomorrow dawn!" Weitzel replied coldly, "You'd better not make tricks for me. Since you are from the army, you should understand that soldiers' duty to obey orders is their duty. No matter how many thoughts you have in your heart and no matter how many achievements you have in the past, you can't change this principle."

If it were just light infantry, Weitzel of course directly ordered the troops to walk over. The problem was that they also brought artillery, got on and off the train, and loaded and unloaded a lot of trouble, so they could only endure it!

"Okay, good night!" The webmaster smiled slightly and stopped talking.

In fact, as soon as the news of the Berlin garrison was clear, Munich knew that Hitler could not stop Sik's troops, but he could think of various ways to obstruct the KMT Party in this time and space, because of Contini's golden yuan funding, coupled with his straightforward and neatness to Munich, and Hitler's famous speech, they made their reputation far more than in history.

At this time, the German working class made a clear stand: they despised the Weimar government that surrendered and treasoned, and believed that the Munich government that claimed to abolish the Treaty of Versailles was the real patriotic and revolutionary government. In addition, the organizer of this regime was the Socialist Workers' Party, which was the working class's own team, so they were determined to help Adolf Hitler a little, destroy the railways, and demonstrated workers were spontaneous behaviors. As the stationmaster threatened, if the army really went ahead and requisitioned other trains, they had ways to keep the trains going and stop. As for the railway, isn't it easy to do something?

The German Railway is the best and most stringent place in the world. In turn, destruction is also the easiest place to succeed.

"What should we do when the Berlin Garrison is here?" Before the senior leaders of the KMT Party who received the exact news had recovered from the joy of the successful seizure of power, they suddenly heard such bad news. Although they knew that railway workers were desperately helping them to delay the troops so that the KMT Party could have time to prepare, even so that all the senior leaders still lack confidence.

Strassell, the second-in-commander of the Kuomintang, sighed: "Sickett attaches great importance to us and actually brought the troops that can fight the most. What do you think about General Rudendolf's concern about this?"

Hitler said nothing.

Someone replied: "He suggested that we resist appropriately and then strive for a political solution. If it cannot be a political solution, we will have to surrender gloriously."

"Adolf, do you think so?"

Hitler shook his head slightly: "A government that wants to revolution, and a government that strives to overthrow the Treaty of Versailles, is now scared by a group of only a few thousand people. If the Allies come tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops come, what should we do?"

"Now is not the time to speak loudly!" Strassell said dissatisfiedly. "We don't even have a decent cannon, but our opponent is a well-equipped and fully armed regular army. Do you still have to fight? Do you want to kill all the comrades in the Party?"

Before Hitler could answer, Goring sneered from the side: "So, some people, Bourgeois, are weak and sick again, and a regiment is at a loss before they hit the door. If a division comes, would he tie the comrades and surrender himself?"

"Herman, what do you mean?"

Goring ignored him and said to Rom: "The thousands of stormtroopers under your command are not decorations, right? Tell me, do you dare to have a fight with the Berlin Garrison?"

Rom was furious: "What's there to be afraid of? I've prepared for this day long, but your people shouldn't be scared to pee their pants."

"You...you..." Strassell stomped his feet hard, unable to say a word.

"I decided to consider a political solution first, and at the same time adopt the suggestions of Comrade Hermann, build a barricade in Munich, and launch the working class to fight together!" Hitler gritted his teeth, "The revolutionary government can be suppressed by force and blood, but it must not surrender itself! It must not surrender without fighting!"

After the meeting, Rom was in a hurry to set up a barricade, while Goring quickly asked Gian, whom Contini sent to join him, to continue asking for advice. The suggestion was made by the brave and Contini after joint consideration. To fight a regular army like the Berlin Garrison, the field battles in the suburbs will definitely be defeated, but there may be a chance for street fighting.
