Chapter 1708 Berlin Conspiracy 1
"No matter what the outcome is, an invisible war has broken out in the German Empire. However, what makes me feel uneasy is that I can't even tell who is our friend and who is our enemy. The original allies have been pushed to the side. In the enemy's position, what will happen to the previous enemies, new friends or still enemies? I don't know. However, His Majesty the Emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed, and he personally lit the fuse that detonated everything." In Holweg In the Prime Minister's diary, he wrote worriedly. He suggested that the Kaiser consider it carefully, and the Kaiser seemed to have listened and decided to move forward slowly, but God knows, everything will go as he thought!
However, at this time, in the villa of Albert, the leader of the right wing of the Social Democratic Party, a group of people were celebrating their staged victory. If Prime Minister Holweg was present, he would have discovered that the entire East The leading figures from the right wing and center of the Prussian Social Democratic Party are here!
In the center of the venue was a long table, and sitting in the center was naturally Albert, the right-wing leader of the Social Democratic Party. On the left is Wells, head of the Berlin region of the Social Democratic Party. On the right is Landsberg, another big figure on the right wing of the Social Democratic Party. He is now very close to people in industry and finance. The second person on the left was a person whom everyone was not familiar with, but looking at Albert's respectful attitude towards him, although the others present had opinions, they did not show it.
And this person is Mr. Buhler, Albert's "action advisor". He has served on various fronts in Germany and has rich combat experience. He can be said to combine theory with practice, which just makes up for the many rhetoric within the Social Democratic Party. However, Can fight an embarrassing situation like no other!
The second person on the right is Noske, the head of the right wing of the Social Democratic Party in the Kiel Port area. He mainly does naval work. The German High Seas Fleet is an important force that can influence the country. They have an independent military system, and its members are mainly civilians. A considerable number of fleet commanders, including Scheer and Hipper, are non-aristocratic. Therefore, from the Social Democratic Party's perspective, this is something that can be fought for.
There would have been a place for Scheidemann, but unfortunately, the man who started the trouble is now serving time in a Berlin prison. Abbott requested parole multiple times. But they failed and had to give up.
"Just this morning, the information provided by our insider said that the Kaiser has agreed to the plan proposed by the Independent Social Democratic Party, and a new kingdom is about to be born. And the contradiction between the two kingdoms will also be ignited. The Kaiser has lost support from Bavaria forever, and Bavaria will also lose the ability to influence the central government! This is a great victory and lays a solid foundation for the success of our cause!" Albert's opening bar was full of passion and enthusiasm joy!
After a round of applause, Wells, the head of the Social Democratic Party's right wing in the Berlin area, also began to introduce the situation here: "Although we cannot guarantee that all the newly formed troops staying in the Berlin area will obey our orders, at least 40% of them will obey our orders." of officers and personnel are willing to stand by our side,
The remaining 30% of people will also remain neutral. Therefore, we have an absolute advantage in this German political center! "
"However, those senior officers are Juncker nobles, and they are not so easy to convince." Mr. Buller, the operational consultant, said with some surprise.
"Haha, Junker nobles? Even among the top nobles in Germany, the Black Hawk Knights, we still have supporters. There are only a few people like Moltke who are unsophisticated and loyal to the decadent monarchy. Among them, I think of Some people have become one with us. They may still have some nostalgia for the monarchy, but at least they will not raise the butcher knife against us. And I have to say that one of the great benefits of the tragic war is that those nobles The officers suffered heavy casualties. Their control over the army has been greatly reduced, and many people cooperate with us with the idea of wanting to rise to power. In addition, we have enough money to bribe some people." Landsberg said with a smile, At the same time, he showed a scrutinizing expression to the "action consultant" sitting opposite.
"How to use the navy's situation? Wells, this is our top priority." Albert did not pay attention to the thoughts of the people below, but said to Wells.
"The situation is not very good. I have been in contact with Admirals Scheer and Hipper. They are very satisfied with the current situation. The middle and lower-level naval officers also hold this idea. They seem to be preparing something. All the fleet's powerful people They are all very busy, and they are very indifferent to politics, but they are sensitive to the relationship between Prussia and Bavaria," Wells said.
"Mr. Buller, the Navy's attitude is as you expected, so tell me your opinion." Albert frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Unexpected, but reasonable." Buller smiled and said: "Perhaps everyone here feels that the navy is mainly from the civilian class, so they should agree with the theories and practices of the Social Democratic Party. I do not deny this, but I What I want to say is that as a soldier, there are two most critical points. The first point is faith and victory, and the second point is the vital interests of officers and soldiers."
"As for the first point, I think everyone here can understand something even if they just read the newspaper. That is, since the war started, the navy has rarely suffered setbacks. They have been thinking about how to kill the Royal Navy on the opposite side. How can they possibly mix it up? Are these things related? Even if the class attributes of the middle and lower classes are close to yours, a general who can win battles and satisfy the interests of his subordinates does not need to worry about betrayal!"
"As for the second point, it is easier to understand. The treatment of naval officers and soldiers is higher than that of the army, and they can also receive additional rations shipped from Bavaria. In addition, the battle at sea is not tragic, and they are not afraid of war. On the contrary, I'm somewhat yearning for it. As for the promotion channels you provided? The promotion channels within the Navy are inherently fair, and the relationship between officers and soldiers is relatively stable. Therefore, the stability of the Navy is far greater than that of the Army." Buhler talked eloquently.
In history, it was the sailors at Kiel Port who ignited the beacon fire of the German Revolution, but in this dimension they were the most moderate. After all, in this dimension, no one asked the High Seas Fleet to launch a war with no chance of winning, and it would be punishable by death. The offensive described above did not endure the pain caused by the shortage of supplies. If we only look at food standards and wages, the current treatment level of the German Navy is much higher than before the war. Therefore, they will naturally not rebel.
