Jagged Germany: Chapter 555 Frightened ask for a monthly ticket
Berlin, Imperial Palace.
The blood in the hall has been cleaned up, the carpet has been replaced with a new one, and the body of William II has been brought down. However, the smell of blood in the hall seemed to be unable to dissipate.
Crown Prince William sat in the hall with a gloomy face. Although, the mutiny appears to have succeeded. However, he was not able to do his best! Although they have occupied Berlin, occupied the palace. But what's the use? What they were most worried about, still happened.
After the mutiny was launched, the most important thing for Crown Prince William was to trick Qin Tian into Berlin, put him under house arrest, or even kill him, so that future troubles could be avoided. After all, Qin Tian already controlled more than 70% of the country's military power. And the rest, Crown Prince William is not able to grasp all. This makes the strength of the two very different. Under such circumstances, if Qin Tian noticed that something was wrong, would their mutiny still succeed?
In addition, Crown Prince William originally wanted to force William II to issue an abdication edict and pass on the throne to him. But unexpectedly, he accidentally killed William II. This undoubtedly made the situation more complicated. If this situation is exposed, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. It is even more impossible for him to inherit the throne. The German people will never let a person who killed his father inherit the throne.
The Duke of Württemberg walked into the hall with an ugly expression on his face.
Seeing the face of the Duke of Württemberg, Crown Prince William suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Your Excellency, has something happened to the 4th Army?" Crown Prince William asked. The 100,000 to 200,000 troops of the 4th Army have now become the most important force under Crown Prince William. If this force can return home, it might be able to stabilize the situation. Once there is any mistake in this army, the consequences will be serious.
"The 4th Army betrayed my life. Damn von Fabeck and Holmes, they actually betrayed me and obeyed Oscar's orders. Now, I have lost command of the 4th Army." Duke Tenberg looked angry.
Without the 4th Army, the power and status of the Duke of Württemberg will be greatly reduced. Even, after the failure of this mutiny, he will pay an extremely heavy price for it. If it is not done well, even his own life will be threatened. If he mastered the 4th Legion, he still had room to bargain with Qin Tian. So now, he has become meat on the chopping board.
"How could this be? Isn't most of the 4th Army from the Kingdom of Württemberg? How come they don't even listen to your orders?" Crown Prince William was astonished, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Without the support of the 4th Army, their mutiny this time, the possibility of success is almost negligible.
"His Royal Highness, we have underestimated Oscar's influence in the army. My people reported to me that Oscar sent a telegram to the 4th Army, asking the army to return to the barracks. And von Fabeck and Holm Those two fellows, just obeyed Oscar's order, and rushed to Versailles. I really regret that I didn't see the essence of these two guys at the beginning, so that it fell into this position now. "The Duke of Württemberg had a look of hatred, and even a hint of regret in his eyes. However, it seems that it is completely useless to say these now.
"Then what should we do now?" Crown Prince William asked.
The Duke of Württemberg didn't say a word, and now he doesn't know what to do. If possible, he would like to leave Berlin immediately, as if nothing had happened. However, he could act as if nothing had happened, but would anyone else? Qin Tian must have known that he was involved in the rebellion. After the rebellion in Berlin is quelled, he will definitely not let him go.
At this moment, Little Maoqi also came in. Moreover, Xiao Maoqi's complexion is also very ugly.
Seeing such a situation, Crown Prince William's heart sank even more. He knew that this must be another bad news.
"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" Crown Prince William asked.
"Your Highness, the 1st Division of the Marine Corps has arrived in the outskirts of Berlin by train and is now heading towards Berlin." Xiao Maoqi reported.
"What? The 1st Division of the Marine Corps? What kind of unit is that?" Crown Prince William frowned. When he became a vegetative state, the Marine Corps had not yet been formed. Of course he didn't know.
"Your Highness, the Marine Corps is a force that Oscar and Tirpitz jointly persuaded His Majesty to form. It is essentially a force controlled by the Navy for landing operations. However, it is well-equipped and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Army. The main battle force." Xiao Moqi said.
Crown Prince William was completely speechless. The navy has actually mastered a powerful land combat force. This undoubtedly allows the navy to use it for greater strength!
"Can our Guards withstand their attack?" Crown Prince William asked.
But Little Moltke didn't answer. The Duke of Württemberg opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Crown Prince William immediately understood the meaning, that is, the Janissary is definitely not the opponent of the 1st Division of the Marine Corps. Once there is a fight, the Praetorian Guard will be defeated. At that time, the mutiny they launched will naturally end in failure.
"God! What should we do now?" Crown Prince William only felt that he seemed to have made a huge mistake, an irreparable mistake. If the mutiny was successful, perhaps okay, he would become Emperor of the Empire. However, if he fails, he will die. After all, he killed his father himself, which is undoubtedly a felony.
"Your Highness, although the current situation is somewhat unfavorable to us, it has not reached the worst point after all. Maybe there will be a turning point." Xiao Maoqi said.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the sound of cannons came faintly. This immediately made Crown Prince William's face even uglier. Although he graduated from a military academy, he also served in the army. However, after all, he never went to the battlefield.
"Fire, they actually fired. Don't they know that this is Berlin? This is the capital of the empire! That guy Tirpitz sent troops into Berlin without His Majesty's order and launched an attack. This is a rebellion Ah!" Crown Prince William was furious. However, he seemed to have forgotten that even if it was a rebellion, he was the one who started it!
There also seemed to be obvious horror on his angry face. Obviously, he was still frightened when the gunfire sounded.
