Chapter 1781: It May Not Be Better to Strike First 1

However, although it is bad to fail to call for help twice in a row, it is not the most fatal! The Kaiser's last decision directly triggered a political storm in Germany! He called Prime Minister Holweg and asked him to take immediate action, and this time, Prime Minister Holweg also said one thing right! That is, one hour after the order was implemented, Albert already knew about it, and then the police and the army loyal to the Social Democratic Party began to take action!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the order has been passed on, and the police department has started taking action. There are a total of 135 Social Democratic MPs and senior backbones on the first wave of arrest lists. It is expected that the dust will be settled before midnight tonight." A relative The officer said to Prime Minister Holweg.

This list was drawn up by the Prime Minister himself, and the people mainly arrested are those who have strong political influence and are extremely opposed to monarchy and the emphasis on parliamentary rights. It took him less than 40 minutes to draw up this list, and then handed it over to the people below to notify the police and gendarmerie departments to start a secret arrest. Yes, a secret arrest. As a person who has been in Berlin for a long time, He really knows how influential the Social Democratic Party is in this city! And Holweg has no doubt that the Social Democratic Party has already mastered some of the weapons, and once it is carried out with great fanfare, it will inevitably lead to fierce confrontation!

However, the prime minister still underestimated his opponent. When he walked to the balcony worriedly and looked at Berlin at dusk, suddenly, a group of troops marching in the distance aroused Holweg's vigilance! He knew very well that such an army should not exist in the center of the city! And from a distance, it seems that the arms of these German army soldiers are still wrapped with white cloth strips for identification? !

"Where did they come from?! Why didn't the police and gendarmes stop them?!" Prime Minister Holweg said in horror as he looked at the army in the distance that was advancing towards the Prime Minister's residence.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister, our phone lines with the outside world have been cut off!" At this time, an attendant rushed into the room in a panic and told Holweg even more desperate news! At this point, Holweg naturally knew that the Kaiser's plan had been exposed. This was not a surprise, but what made Holweg most incomprehensible was how could the Social Democratic Party counterattack so quickly? ! This military response speed is not what a political party should have. If the armies of the four kingdoms launched such an action, Holweg would believe it, but to say that a group of politicians from a political party has military literacy is really a damn thing. Yes!

"Prepare to evacuate immediately, destroy all documents that cannot be taken away, and notify the Guard to prepare to cover the evacuation of important personnel to the Brandenburg Barracks on the outskirts of Berlin! We don't have much time!" Holweg's reaction was quite quick. "In addition, use the radio immediately to report the situation here to His Majesty. Just say that the situation in Berlin is out of control. I hope Your Majesty can make a prompt decision!"

Although the speed of the other party's reaction shocked Holweg, the subsequent performance once again made the prime minister exclaim that he couldn't stand it! The force on the opposite side had begun to block the main thoroughfares and began to erect barriers and barricades while evacuating the crowd. That's nothing.

The most critical thing is that radio communication was cut off! Of course, due to the radio technology of this era, Holweg's telegram must have been continuously forwarded to the Kaiser's hands. However, this telegram has not yet been sent! A high-power radio interference source located near the Prime Minister's Office interfered with the propagation of signals, and the interference frequency band of the other party almost exactly matched the transmitting frequency band! So Holweg understood that there was an undercover agent of the other party beside him!

At this point, he didn't lose unjustly. Only now did Hollweg know how deeply the entire imperial government had been penetrated.

However, just when he was desperate, a soldier from the opposite side came over with a white flag and sent a note to the guards of the Prime Minister's Office asking Prime Minister Holweg and his guards to abandon their armed surrender.

"In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Parliament hopes that the Prime Minister can understand the current situation and make the right choice, and the Parliament will also ensure the personal safety of Your Excellency and your subordinates and the inviolability of their dignity and property. After all, we are here The capital of the empire. You have done your best." The note concluded.

"I want to meet the leader of this force." Holweg thought for a while and said.

"No problem, you have two hours to communicate with our leader." The messenger on the other side answered very neatly. "The entire Berlin operation has been launched. We will soon be able to take over Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Poznan and Kiel. Everything has been planned, and the only thing left is to execute it step by step." Obviously, The other party knew that Holweg wanted to delay time, but unfortunately, the parliamentary faction was not afraid. They even had time to chat with their captives!

As a result, the rest of the process was a matter of course. The German Prime Minister's residence was occupied, and Holweg and the important figures in the Prime Minister's residence were moved. Not far from the Brandenburg Gate, Holweg met the parliamentary adviser for this operation, former Army Colonel Bühler.

"I originally thought that the person leading this incident would be a high-ranking military official. But I didn't expect that it would be a former army colonel. Based on your talents, you can definitely become a general." After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Prime Minister Holweg said with a sigh.

Holweger understands this result quite well. After all, the Junker nobles' control of power, especially military power, has been a problem for a long time. Even in the current war and the expansion of troops, the Junker nobles still have strong control over the top management.

"Do you think you can win this time?" Holweg asked. He now wanted to find out some information through insinuations so that he could know more about it. "Moreover, when the entire army was fighting against the British and French forces on the Western Front, you stabbed the imperial army in the back for your own rights. This is tantamount to treason!"

"As for the first question, I naturally believe that we can win. As for why, I feel that if we have to argue, it will waste a long time and there will be no results. Let time verify everything. ." Buller said with a smile.

"As for you saying that we stabbed the imperial army in the back at a critical moment? I don't deny that objectively speaking, it is indeed the case. I also express great regret and shame that such a thing happened. But I think that what we did Everything is a very beneficial thing for the empire!”
