The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1783: The High Seas Fleet’s Choice 1

"How is the work of each fleet going now?" Scheer pinched his numb temples and said to his chief of general staff, Major General Trotta. Of course, this so-called work does not mean combat training tasks, but It is a question of the fleet's attitude in this political incident. Scheer still overestimated his influence. Even though he had been the fleet commander for five years, he still could not fully grasp this army with the most superb technical level and combat skills! There is no way, the composition of the navy is too complex, and the thinking and brainstorming of navy officers and soldiers are much more complex than that of the army.

This does not mean that General Scheer could not use strong measures to suppress, nor does it mean that the people below showed violent disobedience. Generally speaking, everyone in the High Seas Fleet still loves this admiral. Considering that there are still a series of tough battles to be fought with the British fleet in the future, Admiral Scheer will try to persuade political dissidents with the utmost patience. Of course, the admiral will never be lenient to some die-hard elements hidden among them who specialize in doing bad things.

"The Bavarians in the fleet expressed their willingness to support Admiral Hipper's orders. Of course, fundamentally, they are willing to follow their own kingdom. These people account for about a quarter of the fleet. The remaining 75% Among people, there are about 30% neutral people. We can control the other 30%. And there are 15% who are more sympathetic to the parliament. They think a parliamentary government will be more suitable for this country than the Kaiser." Major General Trotta thought After thinking about it, he said.

"15%? Thousands of people." Admiral Scheer touched his chin and said. Judging from the current situation, the fleet's situation is relatively stable, but there must be more people ashore who are leaning towards the Social Democratic Party. To be honest, although Admiral Scheer also disliked the Junker nobles' control of power and criticized some of the Kaiser's actions, he was still very disgusted with the Social Democratic Party's choice to cause trouble at this time!

"Go and tell all the officers and soldiers that the top brass of the fleet have no interest in getting involved in this political incident. Our current attitude is neutral! There is no need to point the guns at any party! But, as a German Imperial Navy soldier! We must ensure victory in the war, and at the same time we will never tolerate any person or organization using the materials and weapons of the Imperial Navy to participate in this political time!"

"Order! The Imperial High Seas Fleet operates separately and immediately returns to all naval anchorages and ports as planned! High Seas Fleet shipboard personnel and shore personnel immediately take over the warehouses, public facilities and defenses of ports and cities! Ensure that ports and warehouse supplies can be transported along the way The original railway line transports to the western front. If land transportation is impassable, the Third Battleship Squadron of the High Seas Fleet will cover the transport fleet to transport supplies to Belgium! The aviation unit of the High Seas Fleet will provide air cover!"

"Second, take over the navy's supporting facilities, especially the arsenal and material warehouses. No one can mobilize any materials in the arsenal without my order! I repeat, everyone! Even if someone on the shore has obtained weapons and supplies Supplies, but if you are unwilling to accept the fleet’s orders, you will be treated as an enemy! That’s it!”

"Third, announce our policies to the whole country. The High Seas Fleet will uphold its mission and responsibility to maintain order, stability and the basic lives of the people within its jurisdiction. The High Seas Fleet is unwilling to use guns and guns against the people of the empire, so it hopes that all parties in the country will We can respect the opinions of the fleet! At the same time, we hope that all parties can resolve this matter through negotiations." Scheer ordered.

At the same time, the "Bavarian Naval Task Force" previously handed over to Scheer began early to take over important warehouses and facilities of the German Navy. Of course, there will definitely be some "frictions" in the process.

A group of people are gathering together in a warehouse at Kiel Naval Base.

Some people near the warehouse door were wearing navy uniforms and clearly belonged to the Navy. Outside, a large number of people gathered to try to move supplies and weapons from the warehouse. This is a small arms warehouse belonging to the Marine Corps, which stores several weapons. Thousands of rifles and hundreds of machine guns.

"Hurry up, there are only guns but no ammunition here, we have to rush to another place!" A man who seemed to be the leader shouted loudly to his subordinates. If these people are given another 2 hours, they will have a regiment of armed forces, and they will have no problem controlling half of Kiel City!

"They really paid attention here." At this time, in a high-rise building not far from the warehouse, a Bavarian officer wearing a Marine Corps uniform put down his telescope and said. At this time, around this military warehouse, about 800 Bavarian troops have entered combat positions and controlled several commanding heights. However, they are not launching an attack now, but are waiting for more people to enter the trap!

Before the incident broke out, Rear Admiral Schur of the Bavarian Naval Task Force discussed with Admiral Scheer how to deal with unstable factors in key cities such as Kiel Port. It would be easy to suppress them directly, but But it’s hard to get rid of the root! Those people hid directly as soon as they saw something was wrong, and the High Seas Fleet had limited troops, which made it very troublesome to deal with them. So, after several discussions, Major General Shure came up with such a plan called "fishing".

The Bavarian contingent specifically left Ruokan's arsenal uncontrolled. These arsenals had enough firearms but lacked ammunition. After all, the latter might make some big noises. Therefore, in order to obtain enough ordnance, these personnel must gather at these arsenals. On the periphery of the target arsenal, the task force and some naval forces have formed an encirclement situation, waiting for the opponent to come!

"There are probably thousands of people gathered here now, and there are only so many die-hard elements in Kiel Port. They are really naive, but more than 1,000 people just want to control such a military port." A naval personnel said.

"Now it's because we have made preparations. If they are allowed to do what they do, it won't take long for them to coerce more people to join, and then it will expand rapidly like a snowball." Major General Schur said.

"So what are we waiting for now? Send them to prison immediately! This is the most important base of the Navy, and we will not allow any trouble in Kiel!" said the naval officer.

"Then let's start." The major general nodded, and the attendant behind him immediately picked up the phone and notified all the troops lying in ambush to start taking action immediately!
